Default Silly questions - aluminum plank construction?

"Thinking outside the box" seems to be all the rage these days but to

anyone else think of this bright idea"?

And, finally, what would be the advantage of a welded aluminum, 15 ft.
boat over a wooden or fiberglass boat of the same size?

Welded aluminum boats have several notable advantages - durability,
reasonable weight etc., but people use as big panels as possible, which
leads to cylinder hulls or hard chines.
