[QUOTE="eeshaw, post: 478039, member: 25150"] I bought a MIG for aluminum boat construction and let me tell ya, there's a learning curve to it. Welding takes a lot of practice to do it correctly to get good penetration without the inclusions and contaminants that cause porosity and other welding imperfections. Now TIG is another animal and to even try to do a whole boat with it would take you for ever and a day to do, even with lots of welding experience. If you're a beginner it would take you even longer, not to mention the learning curve with it. Cleanliness is paramount with MIG and aluminum. Personally I'd start with something easier. [/QUOTE]
