Question:
OK, two questions about this:
32' cabin cruiser w/twin 350 gas engines, 100gal fuel located just aft of
amidships engine placement. Still, she only weighs in at 7,000lbs.
Intended use: fishing in Puget sound, weekend cruises up to San Juans,
occasional lake boating. Moorage in salt water (Edmonds, WA).
So my primary concerns are:
1. Is she too light be seaworthy, or at least enjoyable, in these
semi-protected environs?
2. What kind of nightmares can I expect with an all-aluminum hull structure?
If it is moored in fresh water? Salt?
I don't see too many aluminum-hulled boats out here in the pacific NW. I do
see quite a few in the great lakes. I suspect there's a reason. All
relevant comments are appreciated.
Answer:
As this is a used boat, where was it moored before? Aluminum is just above
zinc on the nobility scale and will go away if not properly grounded and
protected.
