Sorry, Ditzy.
I'll be using the BlackBerry Playbook exclusively for the foreseeable future and it has a mind of it's own.

I've been looking at a Site where it's claimed that the natural aluminum
produces an oxide to protec it's self but the paint interferes with that process.
Anyway I'll let y'all experts debate that.
I dug out my 2012 Legend boat catalogue and it boasts of. 100" or 2.5mm
thick 5052 H34 cold rolled aluminum on both hull and sides.
The nearest Canadian competition (Princecraft Holiday WC) uses H36
aluminum, .090 or 2.3mm on the hull and. 072 or 1.8mm on the sides.

Legend claims their's is stronger because it's both thicker and more flexible.
Princecraft claim their's is stronger because it's a harder metal.
I'll let the resident experts decided who's right...I believed Legend two years ago.
Sounds like what my Harris is made of. Newer pontoon boats use .090 or
even .080 on the log with .10 for the nose cone, if it is a premium
model.

And my Jetcraft is stronger. 5061 3/16" thick.

There is a benefit from boating in a tropical or sub tropical climate.

It sure beats dodging icebergs and windmills up north. :-)

Ummm...they dont put the " Windmills " out in the Lakes around here, anyway.

You did know that they must supply hydro TO them to keep them turning, didn't you?
How many of the god-dam things are around YOUR house???
I'll bet if there were a dozen or more, YOU would be the one whining.
Besides, Ontario is GIVING away hydro to the States.
All the citizens of Ontario are getting out of this " great " idea is an ass-****ing.
The sooner they're gone, the better.

I think they are mesmerizing. Watching them go round and round, ever so
slowly is a welcome distraction while driving down the freeway.

There is one in Tempelton Mass that is off most of the time. When it's
on you can hear it for miles, thump, thump, thump...

We have several thousand around here. Lots are being replaced with the
newer, large models. They do kill a lot of raptors.

You know that May is national velociraptor awareness month, don't you?

Not possible. It does what it's told to do.
