Aluminum Boat Repair

Repairing an aluminium boat is much easier than repairing a fiber glass boat. If your aluminium boat has a dent in it can be repaired by banging the damaged area with a hammer. You can also cut and replace the damaged portion easily. But repairing a fiber glass boat is difficult. You cannot use the hammer or cut and replace small portions. So aluminium boats are economically more viable. The best part is that you can repair an aluminium boat yourself

Most government boats are made of aluminium. Luxury yachts are made of this material. Statistically half of USA’s boats are aluminium built. There are quite a few reasons for this choice. Some of the small sized aluminium boats have thin-hull and are fastened with rivets. They are great for rivers as well as salt water navigation. They are extremely lightweight. So carrying them is never a problem. This also ensures that these boats provide excellent speed and less fuel consumption. Heavy boats on the other hand consume gallons of fuel.
