More electrolysis
I have a 16 ft Alumaweld. I keep it on a trailer. I use it mostly in salt water. I flush the motor and wash down the boat and trailer everytime I use it. Just recently I found a hole in the hull up by the bilge output. A few days later I noticed three more small holes in the hull just above the chin...

Re: Looking for aluminum boat need advise
You probably have a single 150 or maybe a 200 on your 2120. Try putting a Permatrim hydrofoil on your motor. It will help the slow speed wandering and it will help you plane at a lower speed. I had a 23 and it really helped maneuvering around the dock.

Re: Shootin' & Stuff
I got a Kahr P380 last year. Shoots well for a little gun. A couple of months ago I bought a SA XDs. I haven't had time to shoot it yet. How does it compare with yoour 1911 A1 Les?

I have an Otterbox for an iphone 3. If anyone would like it, you can have it for shipping costs. Let me know.

If you don't want the natural oxidation, use Sharkhide.

The Armstrong monohulls seem to be great boats. I wish they still built the smaller monohulls.

Re: aluminum boat advise
I am going to buy a little bigger boat in a year or so. Silver Streak has a model I really like. I will be going to Victoria to test drive a similar boat. He does have rentals, so I can evaluate it on the water. I will take the warnings at face value. I have heard no complaints, unseaworthyness issu...

I don't know how to rejuvinate Zolatone. Mine is 6 years old and holding up well. I really like the Zolatone, and I will redo it when mine needs it.

Re: Corrosion under flooring on Alumaweld Intruder?
I have a small 2008 Alumaweld, not the sterndrive like yours. I haven't noticed any corrosion, but I guess I better check.

Re: How NOT to fishyour RIB
Remember one of the Crocodile Dundee movies where he is fishing in New York Harbor with TNT? You just have to throw it a little farther away from the boat.

I was on a Cutwater 26 at the St Pete boat show last week. Seems like a boat for the martini crowd to me.

A friend my age likes younger girls. She got out of the shower. He said she looked like Clarrabell. She asked him "Who is Clarabell"? She was not old enough.

Steve Jobs has been dead about a year now. His new ALUMINUM boat has just been finished. I believe the builder was Fedship. They say it looks like an iPhone.

Re: Bruce Cope has updated his website
I like the 23' PH. So my question is how do you find a builder that will warranty the work? How do you do a test ride? Especially if there are only a couple out there and they're a 1000+ miles away? Or worse not ever been built? I've looked at Specialty Marine before but could never get past those ...

Re: New member - looking to buy a 24' plate boat
I may be buying another boat in a while. Winninghoff looks to have a good variety of styles. I will be interested in what you think of their build quality and hull design.

Re: Something Different
I love hearing about the trials and tribulations you are having. I have trouble with my 16 and a 23 footers. Great picture of you at the helm.
