Hey Folks,
Here are a few shots of what boating is all about!
the dive door put to use:
Lots of comments from the plastic boat folks... "what don't you even hose it off?" "that thing looks bulletproof!"
My boys are thrilled to show off their new toy.
sorry Jetty no bloody decks YET!
cheers

Good stuff, but how do the kids keep from burning their feet? You are raising those kids right. There will be plenty of time to get the deck bloody down the road.
Spending my kids inheritance with them, one adventure at a time.

Re: Alloy Fun and Dive Door
It works great, I'm really glad that I got a sounder with temperature(everybody wonders how warm the water is). we will have to connect this summer, I'm in Western Mass as little as possible (usually mid week), also I would like to check out your bean bag chair.AlloyToy wrote:How is the box you added working out
thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Re: Alloy Fun and Dive Door
I love the dive door design with the integrated ladder. My rig is at a local welder right now getting a ladder bracket mounted and some other minor things.

Hmm I thought before that stainless steel will corrode in salt water, but as I studied the properties of stainless steel, the doubt in stainless steel gone. By adding more nickel and 2% molybdenum to 304 stainless, you get type 316, which has the best corrosion resistance among standard stainless steels. It resists pitting and corrosion by most chemicals and is particularly resistant to salt water corrosion.
