    Should both sides of a hull seam be welded? (Alumnium)

    It seems to be a common theme that on large plate boats both sides of the hull seams are welded. Which makes sense due to a lack of penetration on thick plate say .25" or thicker. When looking at small Jon boats with thin sheets they are only welded on the outside. When doing some research I...
