You'll be happy to know Stinky, that my boat is marine grade aluminum and it's at the dealer's right now being repaired under warranty.

Not to worry...in addition to being spineless, FlaJim is boatless.

What alloy is it? That will tell you if it is marine grade.

I have all sorts of aluminum on my boat and it all seems to be holding
up OK.
I assume the pontoons and rails were marine grade but the square tube
was whatever they use for construction, the expanded metal is from a
welding shop, the jump seat and dog loading platform is from a data
"rack" and I have some gussets cut from road signs.


So why is Donnie's new boat rotting away and your old boat isn't?

Things tend to deteriorate when unused.

Stainless fasteners without the proper preparation. It might also be
an issue with the grade of the fastener.



Is Fla "Yellowstreak" Jim planning on buying a boat?
