plate alloy boats
to me this is the tank of the water,these boats are made of all plate alloy,and by constuction will weigh 33%-50% lessthan the well made heavily laid-up fiberglass boat.
these boats are popular with the u.s.coast guard,mainly with the 47' motor life boat,and with the us navy
construction methods
the alloy plates are plasma cut to exact dimension and assembled in the state-of-the-art-factory.the team of expert craftsmen first spot-weld the plates together as the boat takes shape,it is then placed on a full scale jig where welding in earnest takes place
sides.bottom,gunwale,stringers,self-bailing deck,and gunwale-deck all are welded useing the best materials and technologies available.an aluminum internal fuel tank is placed beneath the self-bailing deck and acts as a double safty.should the hull be pierced act any time,your fuel cell well remain intact,both saveing the inviroment and enabling you to get home.
the boat is now 80% complete,is hung in an acid shower to remove all of the smoke and unsightly residue left during the welding process.out comes a beautiful and clean hull ready for final assembly
next place your optional components including;rodholders,coolers,leaning post,ect.
finally,they inject pressurized closed cell foam into the below deck cavities and the gunwale decks to ensure both unsinkability and upright flotaion.the non-skid coating to the deck complete the boat.
they have a wide range of sizes to chose from,starting at a 19' center console up to 26'. we are going to look at the pacific V23CC,V23CCTandV23HT

with 1/4" bottom plating,38" high sides,a two-ton load capacity and a top speed of 55 mph,this is the boat
the us navy buys these boats as dive support vessles,the us coast guard buys them as search-and-rescue boats,salmon fishermen in alaska have made this boat standard issue in waters where rough seas and plentiful fish coexist.
all boats have a chioce of a honda or suzuki outboad.
the boat site on trailers by shoreland'r,
there are also numerous options that can be added.

one more thing,i e-mailed the company to get info for this review,within 20 min i had a respnce from the president of the company himself, Jay Perrotta,so if you have any questions,i am sure you will get a speedy responce
