Finally going to make the plunge and buy an aluminum boat, but i
am confused. Our goal is to buy a boat that will last for many
years to come and also turn heads when on the water. The more i
talk to salesman the more BS i hear. What should i be looking
for as far as the quality of the welds, some look like art and
some look like my son who is 12 tried to weld for the first
time. Does the apperance of the weld matter? We are looking at
a 200 Sea Runner Hewes Craft right now, any comments would help
at this point

Thanks

plate welded aluminum boats

high quality, great welds, definitely turn heads

I guess so. Those things are butt ugly. You can't help but notice.

C_Kidman69, Where are you located? There's a bunch of aluminium boat
dealers here in Boise including a couple of builders. Customweld being
one. My next door neighbour owns an aluminium boat that he purchased
here but was built in Portland,Or I believe.I'll post more after I
talk to him. I don't push any brand because we own a couple of
sailboats. Jim

My neighbour has a Thunderjet and his buddy has a Customweld. Jim
