[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 59476, member: 55"] You will probably be okay with the zinc plating on a freshwater build, however, being anal retentive, it wouldn't work in my rigs. The biggest thing is that aluminum and zinc are dissimilar metals, and will corrode each other, especially when in the presence of salt water, or an electric field (shore power at a marina will do this, expediting galvanic corrosion). Galvanization is a form of zinc carbonate. Thereby, especially when hot dipped, and not electro plated, it will hold up better than the regular zinc coating, but is also a bit more likely to react with aluminum. Now, just because everybody says stainless this, stainless that, it doesn't mean it is the best. It is still somewhat dissimilar to aluminum, but the difference is nominal enough that stainless is perfectly acceptable, and preferred in many cases. Shoot some pictures. For whatever reason, we are addicted to them. Russ010 also did a project on a 1236. He didn't deck his to the seats, but I know he stands up on the lower level quite a bit. May wanna talk to him about stability. [/QUOTE]
