Default Steel hull and aluminum superstructure

Hi to all,

I am a newcomer on this newsgroup and you'll see me around as i'm starting
the construction of a new boat. I currently have a 34 feet powerboat in
aluminum and my nest boat will be a 44 or 45 steel sailboat. I'm looking at
building a Bruce Roberts design and i would like the deck superstructure to
be in aluminum. I've seen many commercial boat done this way and even old
Coast Guard patrol boat of 30+ years old without any corrosion problem so it
is something i'd like to do. But i can't find any industry that carries the
special strip that isolate both metals but still permit to weld them both.

Does someone ever see this ?

André
