[QUOTE="Kentuckydiesel, post: 352768, member: 12176"] In the middle of some major stringer upgrades on my Lone Star Cruiseliner. When I bought the boat, there was a plate bolted and sealed onto a portion of the formed/riveted keel. Upon removing the floor, I found that the bolts were actually lags going into some kind of rigged up wooden keel support. After taking all of that junk off, I found that someone had hit a rock or something, which put a nice gash right down the center. Anyway, I need to weld this up, but I'm not sure what alloy it is. I have read that Lonestar used 5052 in their hulls. I realize that extrusions would be a different alloy, but I'm pretty sure this is just a formed piece. I would assume it is also 5052, but wanted to see if any of you guys might know for sure. Thanks, Phillip [/QUOTE]
