Sounds like hot galvanizing. Why not just electroplate it
with zinc, or build it out of zinc in the first place? I bet
you will say "Zinc is not as strong as steel" but it would
be if you made it thicker... it would be heavier but so
what, if you wanted a light weight boat you wouldn't have it
made of steel in the first place.

Doug,

I'm not an engineer, I just saw what people who could afford to do it
right did. And I saw it endure harsh abuse in an extreme salt water
application. Many steel shrimpers now met coat.
You can beat the snot out of met coat with a 10lb sledge and never
cause a rust streak.
