[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 280470, member: 6937"] I guess I misunderstood what you were asking. I can't say for sure whether it's better to have 2 keel welds, or a weld down either side. As far as my boat, yes, it's in saltwater....and that's basically what caused it to corrode. Even when you put the proper bottom paint on an aluminum boat, if you tend to drag it onto the beach or the oyster rocks, like I do, the paint wears off, and before you haul it out the next time to inspect, corrosion has already begun. Especially when you leave the boat in the water for 300+ days a year like I do. [/QUOTE]
