And my contribution to Kevin's knowledgeable response is to restate that manufacturers of riveted boats do not use marine grade alloys in boat construction and as such they are highly susceptible to various corrosion issues. Riveted boats have a short life expectancy when used extensively in salt w...

Is there anyway that this could happen   That's kind of hard to answer Hunter24.  Speculating about corrosion on a few photos is sort of low quality information (as a reply). Since you know that once the internal foam is potentially involved you also know that you have to pull the deck and confirm ...

Is there anyway that this could happen on the side wall of the boat right at the water line and create a hole from the outside in instead of from the inside? On my other post you will see I found a few holes on the side of the boat that I am finally going to address this winter just hoping it isn’t ...

Can anyone tell me what type of corrosion this is? It is around the rivet near the bottom of the boat. I have a few more that are worse. This is on a 19’ aluminum boat. Thank you

I don’t know if this will help at all but this is a section cleaned off. Sorry as it is hard to get a phone in there to take an pictures. Also put a picture of some paint bubbling that is starting on the one side Of the boat, can sand down to clean aluminum but just curious as to what kind of corros...

You are correct I am new here and Thank you for the reply I used an aluminum safe cleaning pad and got down to metal in certain areas. After looking at it it almost seems like that black coating they put on it turned flaky brown as kind of seen in the picture. After the first run of the season this ...

Just bought this boat last year. Unfortunately found some corrosion on the outside randomly mostly on water line that created small holes 5 or so. And I looked in the bilge and this is what I see. (Talking about the brown stuff) Anything to be worried about? Doesn’t look really pitted to me just rea...

I have a 2000 Starfire 190. First boat and not realizing when I bought it but there was some paint bubbling on the transom and a couple spots randomly on the sides of the boat. Cleaned them off and sure enough they were holes (most less than the size of an eraser). Kind of bugs me as the rest of the...
