There occurred a discussion in the "Metal BoatBuilding" section of this forum that I thought might be cross referenced to this materials section as I had not seen any reference to such a subject here.
: Have you ever had the occassion to consider the copper-nickle material??
....A third material that I would suggest looking at would be copper-nickel metal. Years ago there were a couple of commercial shrimpers built of this metal, and they faired very well I believe. I think they may even still be in service (40years now). I just did a quick look under Goggle and found
http://marine.copper.org/ . You might also look under Copper Mariner. .
That was an older website I referenced above. For a newer site have a look at:
http://64.90.169.191/applications/marine/
and more specifically at: Copper Nickle Boat Hulls
