Aluminium Boats – Six Reasons To Buy One
From 1960 onwards, aluminium boats began to appear on the market. The first of these were the shells of yachts. A way to avoid the degrading of aluminium by sea water had recently been discovered. This was to add magnesium and silicon to the manufacturing process of aluminium. It was an important discovery, because it opened the way for aluminium boats to compete in the world market. They have much to offer.
-
They are lightweight. You can subtract about a third off the weight of steel boats of similar size, making them so much easier to carry to or from water. This is an obvious advantage if they are transported by trailer.
-
Aluminium is long-lasting. The main structure of the boat is longer lasting, providing the owner with a solid investment. Should it be re-sold, it has a better re-sale value when compared to boats made of other materials.
-
Although people do paint aluminium boats, it is not necessary to paint the inside of the boat. There is evidence to suggest that painting the outside protects the metal from atmospheric moisture. The boat can be left unpainted and generally its upkeep is easier to deal with.
-
The metal is stronger than steel, able to withstand a greater force before it buckles or distorts. It wears well under the pounding of waves or when scraping on rocks.
-
Being lighter, a gallon of gas goes further, either in the vehicle transporting it to the water or in the motor of the boat itself.
-
Aluminium is an abundant metal in the earth’s crust. Unlike the diminishing reserves of oil and natural gas, new deposits of aluminium are continually being formed, providing an almost inexhaustible supply. In this sense, one doesn’t need to be worried about saving the planet!
Boat manufacturers using aluminium are found in mainland China, Australia, USA, Canada and elsewhere. Generally, these boats are up to 22′ in length and insuring them is less expensive. This may be because the metal does not react to sparks. Commercial pontoon boats may be a bit bigger.
Just in case anyone is interested. The spelling of the word aluminium may also be aluminum. Both are correct, although in the USA and Canada aluminum is the spelling, with its slightly different pronunciation, which is preferred. The word actually began as alumium!
Wavesport Diesel 60, 70 and 80 is a kayak which has an aluminium base plate. NRS cataraft has an aluminium floor and Ocean has a dinghy using some aluminium in its build. They are great little boats and can be found at:
