When Ron gets back we'll get after it hard. His prop came in so we should have everything to finish his boat.

Do you need any certain gases? Just grind the galvanized coat away and weld?

No. It'll splatter a little but it'll be fine

DO NOT breathe the fumes that come off of galvanized welding...they will make you sick as hell.
And it'll splatter A LOT.

I was going to say aren't the fumes toxic?

I welded mine up outside in a breeze while wearing a quality respirator. I migged it on low head and made quick short welds. It splattered but not terribly bad.

Aint none. Or neutral.
Definitely learning curve to operating an airboat
. More than once seen rookie drivers fill one with water. Luckily water was much over 20" or so.
