Aluminum Boat

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.Fiberglass boats are made up of petroleum based chemicals which are combustible in nature. This is not the case with aluminium boats. The aluminium ones do not catch fire easily and is absolutely safe for your family. Aluminium is corrosion resistant and lasts long. You can take the boat to a fishing trip in salt water as well. Salt corrodes fiberglass quickly. Another important factor is that you can customize your aluminium boats easily. Cut, drill and weld and you get your boat the way you would like to design it. With computer images you can draw the sketches and pre-design it the way you have always dreamt about it.
