Re: Big sucker
I see just one issue for me with that vessel. First I would like to say that I like the lines a lot & it amazes me that we seem to see a lot nicer IMHO lines in down-under alloy vessels that we see coming out of US builds so far as a generalization. With that said - the join in the sheets toward...

Re: Mig welder woes
2 little tips for you. When using a mig to weld my last boat, we were having problems with alu dust and even wood dust (I owned a cabinet factory and welded my boat up in there) getting onto the wire and building up on the feed rollers and causing feed rate problems as the rollers would slip. One th...

Re: 6061T6 vs 6082T6?
One of the issues with 6061 T6 is that it is brittle. That really only affects the ability to bend some pieces that might be required to have a fold for strength and was something i faced when building my first boat. The problems were with things like rolled radius edges for gunnels and rod pockets ...

Re: Northwind Marine 40' Israeli police boat
I am thinking an operation designed to take control of the vessel going sour. Pete in Israeli waters - you'd be right. Unfortunately in international waters, it's an act of war, or at best piracy, not unlike the Somalia pirates. IMHO it should be dealt with by the navies of other international nati...
