Says a guy that owns aluminium, that spends 50 plus days a year on the salt water and would rather have a cocktail and relax than worry about cleaning a shinny boat after every trip. Salt away, quick scrub and done. :chuckle:

I can respect that decision, however it doesn't necessarily mean it's "supposed" to look like that. ;)

Rob's boat is a mirror and super cool, but way too much maintenance for me. I like the dull - grey look, after a few years in the salt they look perfect!
Thanks Mike but let's not confuse everyone, once you get two years into yours, you sell it and upgrade bigger....... :chuckle:

Anyone use Shark Hide or any similar products? I would like to get this thing looking good again before I trade it in.
I've tried it, unless they have figured out a effective way to spray it on, I won't try it again.
It dulls the finish, so counter productive after spending time polishing. :twocents:

These guys are in Portland. Talked to them at the sportsman show a few years ago. People don't like to talk price without seeing the project, but they did say about $700 including shark hide.

Aluminum is supposed to look like that. You use the boat for fishing or cruzing the blvd picking up chic's.
Yep...looks good to me.

Take it out on the water. Actually fish it. Stop being a pu**y. Catch fish and post pics. Start acting like a man. :hello:
Hey, you wanna compare fishing pics??? You might want to put your teeth in first before popping off. Just let me know either way scrub.

Lokidog, had a buddy who trailered his alumaweld on a roller trailer not a bunk. Later to find out the rollers put too much stress on his bottom where the plate was welded to the stringers and a hairline crack started. Put water into a section of his boat bottom. Wonder if you have water seeping into that boat that rolled it over. Tied to the dock it wouldn't matter what the tide was, the dock goes up and down.
Hey,
The boat sits on bunks. I'm guessing there is a slow leak in a seam and the bilge wore out the batteries over a two week period. Still odd it would have filled up enough to tip overnight unless a big wake hit it and got the water sloshing or something weird. They'll be doing a float test after New year's, but it looks like it will be totaled, thank goodness for insurance.

I wonder if only one half of the bottom filled up with water making it extremely heavy on the starboard side thus rolling it over. The bottoms are framed in with aluminum stringers so it depends on the design but water cant necessarily fill up everything equally under the floor. I am going to check on my insurance today
If that bottom frame doesn't allow for draining (holes) then I'm surprised Alumaweld has been in business this long.
Post by: lokidog on December 23, 2016, 12:02:51 PM
If I recall correctly, the space between the stringers is pretty much filled with foam although there is enough space for water to run from the front to the back around it.
