A company provides quite good looking and fair aluminum pontoons up to 60 feet long. their calculations say the boat will go 10 mph with 64 hp and the pontoons certainly have ample displacement for my needs. but are they durable enough for protected and inland water ways. at .125 thickness, dents and punctures could be a concern.. Thickness as speed goes up on boats must increase due to the pressure load against the hull from water impinging against it to prevent buckling. or, in the case of hull plating over the props plating vibration from disturbing the enjoyment of the yacht.. I have the frame work all laid out but need to figure out how thick the aluminum floor needs to be. the only problem with this is i don't know what thickness to go with that will be strong enough to support me and another person, and this problem applies to the flooring i want to install in the middle of the boat..
When quality is demanded in a 14’ fishing boat, the lund wc 14 rises to the top. many of our best memories were built in small fishing boats, and lund is proud to be a small part of those memories. be it camping, hunting, or fishing, the lund wc boats provide a smooth ride and a perfect fishing boat experience.. That makes a lot of sense dave because the mud boat builders here in the south seem like a lot are building with 1/8-3/16 5086 and there all flat and no v's / chimes are bent into there hulls. although they need the boats to slide really well to. so maybe the boat will have to be build 5052 aluminum.. What is the minimum practical thickness of aluminium? it seems like even the smallest boats are built of minimum 2mm alu? i ask because "aitchem" asked for an aluminium version of the backman 18..
