[QUOTE="ppine, post: 454959, member: 22555"] Modern welded boats are very strong and well put together. People that weld aluminum for a living are really good at it. Many boats look like jewelry. In order to break welds on a quality boat you have to run big rivers or travel in really big water during storm waves. Some people do not get the concept of throttling back and controlling the boat. My Uncle Alaska Bob ran his old mahogany power boat a 56 footer, from San Pedro, CA to Anacortes, WA out in the shipping lanes up the West Coast. Heading north is difficult. He said his most common speed was 6 knots. [/QUOTE]
