North Aire floats.
"Ed Sullivan" wrote I think that is piqued, engines peak You know, I didn't think that was right, but couldn't think of the right one. I couldn't look it up without a spelling, then. But, look at it this way; I have never been as interested in wood floats, as now. That means my interest is at a peak, right? g -- Jim in NC |

: "Fortunat1" wrote Well, I imagine that metal floats might be more maintenence free and easier to repair, not to mention more impervious to getting water logged. having said that, I don't know enough about either to make an informed decision there, but more than that I just want to try something in sheet metal, never having made more than cowlings and covers out of the stuff before.. Understood... Although, metal corrodes, especially in sal****er. Well, yes, but I'm not planning on any sal****er Wood does not. It also does not matter to wood one little bit if the water is salt or fresh. Wood boat has been done for many years. Epoxy coatings make wood practically immune to rot. Some also use wood as a core, and a very thin fiberglass coating inside and out to protect the wood. Some of the best looking and best performing homebuilts are built that way. You have to follow your own heart with a material choice, of course, but don't write off wood. Already have.. |
