There is a guy named Elk in Bar Harbor who has done beautiful work on wood  
Luders.  He certainly could manufacture a boom.  The fleet on Mount  Desert 
Island has a mixture of wood and aluminum masts, but some of them have  been 
refitted with wood masts beautifully by Jim Elk.  (You could google  Elk Boat Yard 
in Bar Harbor).  
Cape Cod Shipbuilding/Zephyr  will manufacture an aluminum one for  you.  I 
personally don't think the price is bad, and the shipping would be  easy for 
you.  I need a new aluminum mast in Maine and the shipping is a  challenge.  
One of the more knowledgeable people about Luders 16's is Sturgis Haskins  
(_rugosa at acadia.net_ (mailto:rugosa at acadia.net) ).  He might be  able to help 
you on dating etc.  
Best wishes.  A couple of us have a fiberglass L16 which we are hoping  to 
get into the water for the first time in a number of years.
