Why choose an aluminum boat?
King Salmon Marine welded aluminum boats are built for year round boating. Attention to design details, skilled welding and experienced manufacturing leads to a high performance aluminum boat. Aluminum boats are lighter than a fiberglass or steel hull of similar dimensions, (aluminum is 30% to 40% lighter). Aluminum is the material of choice for the commercial boating industry, the serious sport fisherman and ocean and lake adventure seekers. King Salmon Marine gives you a way that you can build a boat to your own needs.

Questions to ask your builder:
How many boats this size have they built?
Will they give you references of boat owners?
Can you get a test ride on a boat in the size you want?
Can you look in the shop/plant at various stages of construction?
What alloys do they use (should be 5086 series or 5052 these are marine grade aluminums)?
Do they have pictures at various stages of construction.
Do they have photos of floor assembly. It is structurally important to the strength of the vessel.
Are the sides one piece or are they two different gauges? Two different gauges welded at the chine sides are not as strong as one solid piece of aluminum.
Do you have a good sense of space and proportions? Look at the boat out of water and from the side. It should look smooth and balanced.
