Aluminum is relatively worthless for a boat hull.

All it takes to completely destroy the hull of an
aluminum hulled vessel is a handful of mercury

hours, break apart and sink.


Hahahha. A handful of mercury?


A stainless steel boat is impervious to just about
anything but strong acids.


How about salt water and time?

Cheers
