suggestion for core
Posted: Jul 11, 2010 1:58 am
if someone was to take 1/4 inch aluminum and have 3 sheets 1 for the core and one for each side then what you wanted for your stringers
had them all laid down in the hull cut to precision then tacked together then welded little at a time for less heat as aluminum does not get very hot from welding quickly then stringers laid on top of that and welded on
then resined laminated or preference of choice to accomidate the holding to the hull it should be significilly stronger not very heavy and long as welded correctly never break and dang sure want rot and be very good for a transom as mine as been done already with aluminum on my transom inside and out any suggestions just been thinking about it maybe a good way to hold it down if it was epoxyied over and was tied in good to the sides it would be held down good i would suppose hope for some comments of maybe some do's and don't i might be crazy but seems it would work hope for the replys
