Why you ask.


Because you don't know any better, and you have the sort of
inferiority
comlex that compels you to shout about how great you (and your toys)
are.

I did not shout anything Dougieee. And Ive been on boats for at least
100,000 + more miles that you. I do know better.



I will tell you why my friend!

It's stronger

No it isn't. Ever heard of carbon fiber?

Carbon fiber is not fiberglass or plastic.. And your an engineer?



It's Cheaper

Especially to recycle.
Yeah, no one wants anything to do with a plastic scrap boat, they just
take up space in landfills.


It will last longer

Except that it rusts away to powder

Ever hear of paint? If you put this magic stuff(paint) on metal it
repels rust, It's amazing.


It is easier to work with

If you have a welding set, a couple years of schooling, and a decade
or
more of practice


VS doing a proper job replacing a rotton hull spot, welding is a
pleasure.


It is lighter than a plastic boat with the same strength.

Wrong.

Says you. I know its fact.


You can find a welder in Bum**** egypt.

You can carry a can of WEST epoxy right on board with you

Yeah a can of glue....Bwahahahahah

You can find steel in " " egypt

?? Not going to find west epoxy everywhere Doug.

Coatings are cheaper.

Wrong again.

Says you. A gallon of top quality epoxy paint is always going to be
cheaper than gelcoats.




Any Questions? Only related to sailboat construction please!

Are you building a boat?

Maybe..
