Our hulls are built of welded, marine grade (5000 series alloy) aluminum. Welded aluminum has become the clear choice for most professional boats under 50' as well as larger fast ferries and yachts. This is evidenced by the popularity of aluminum among the US Coast Guard and most municipal fleets. The benefits are clear:
- Durability & Longevity-
- Marine Grade aluminum (5000 series alloys) will not corrode in salt or fresh water.
- Three (3) times the impact/rupture resistance of steel. (Under impacts where steel will rupture, aluminum will deform farther but not rupture.)
- Ease of Customization (no molds!)
- Fabrication & Repair
Fire Resistant (Virtually Fireproof)
- Low Maintenance
- High Strength/Weight Ratio
