[QUOTE="Zum, post: 494504, member: 349"] Respectfully disagree with the above post....totally fixable.(not full of pinholes is it?) Exspensive,maybe(dont know your budget)get an estimate before diving in...we all know what BOAT stands for Sandblasting not needed before welding, sure get it down to bare metal but any welder would do that. Maybe to save money you could do most of the prep work, grinding, have pieces(gussets)cut to fit...make sure to vacuum the dissimiliar metal filling. Didnt notice any pinholes, did you? Salt not a big concern if using aluminum, just try to stay away from dissimiliar metals. Flush with freshwater once and awhile,should be fine. [/QUOTE]
