What a dummy!

Anyone with a lick of sense knows that you use bunks for an aluminum boat.

(an exception might be for the very thick hulled welded variety)



Rollers on your Legends, Lunds, PrinceCrafts etc could deform the hull.

Well, its a **** Bass Boat anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Last year I posted the link which boasted of the thicker aluminum hull and special construction of my particular boat.
If you're that interested, you can use the info I've provided in this thread to research same.

FlaJim doesn't care about that...his concern is to find ways to try to
"tweak" you, and he is boatless. He's an RV boy, like Herring.

The majority of the population live in the central part of the country where aluminum boats seem practical and popular...In fact most of the major manufacturers are in Ontario and Quebec.
A lot of boats go north where transportation costs are high so aluminum makes sense.
Fiberglass is more practical here on the coast but unlike the US, our East coast population is minimal....slightly less than 2 million for the four Atlantic Provinces.

Certainly not!


Why would you even consider anything "Hank" says here...his only
interest is in trying to get a rise out of posters he doesn't like. It's
a lot more fun to just ignore him. Hell, he hasn't had a boat for a
long, long time.

-------------------------------

That's a legitimate, boating related question. Many, if not the
majority, of aluminum boats "oil can".


I'm beginning to wonder if he's splashed his new boat yet. Like you
said, pretty near all lightweight aluminum boats have that annoying
oilcan problem.


----------

Mine does not oilcan. Is on a bunk trailer with UHMW plastic bunks.
But my aluminum boat is 3/16" on the bottom. Lots of the newer ones are
now 1/4" 6031 T-6 bottoms.

You do not have a lightweight aluminum sheet metal boat.

It is possible to have an rv and a boat.
Harry was homeless for a while after his Jacksonville house was
foreclosed on.
On the other hand, there is no stigma associated with boatlessness. I
don't know why you keep trying to make an issue out of it.

Why aren't you being more practical, living way out on that island, and all?

What is the fascination up there with aluminum boats?
If I see anything larger than a jon boat here, it has Canadian
numbers.
I do see some nice ones tho, 18-20 feet with big motors on them.

Smaller boats in aluminum are easy and cheap to tow, and do not chip if you
beach them. My Northwest style jet boat was designed for shallow water,
rivers with rapids. The snake was run for years with wooden and glass
boats, but when you touch one of those hidden rocks those two types pretty
much ended their life. Where we may have to bang out the bottom or cut out
and weld in a new section.

Even those of us with thick aluminum hulls (0.25") prefer UHMW bunks to
rollers. The people I see struggling to position the boat properly on
the trailer seem to have rollers.
