well you may find this of interest here are two U.S. builders that are starting to make alloy boats that look as though they can handle the ruff stuff, but they still have a long way to go

They've got a long way to go
Still using extrusion to join hull/sides tis a cost cutting method which dosen't allow a great deal of spray chime -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

if its an extrusion dose that mean they are using sheet alloy rather than plate

Nope sheet can be either
Extrusion is used to butt up the sheets Alot less work than the way I did mine oOn another note had another look @ wun of those Barcrushers today & afraid not my cup of tea @ all Very budgetly built goats & was in a bit of shock when I looked @ the side skins [this was a 5.8 meter] Definately not 3 mm like all the other platey's 1st glance I said 2mm but it could be 2.5mm a bit hard to tell unless I scratched the paint off -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
