Description:

Only a lack of information has kept aluminum from becoming a more popular material for backyard boat builders and small-scale professionals; and here, for the first time, is everything builders need to know to successfully build aluminum boats of almost any size or type. Covered are basic fabrication methods as well as more advanced aluminum-forming techniques and large-yacht construction.
