Damn, I should of been engineer...

 

[Mark Oomkes]

An engineer that can't spell?

 

[Ajlawn1]

Guessing you can chalk that one up to marketing...

One big question: rivets instead of WELDS. Huh.

Welds can cause stainless steel to rust in the weld area.

 

[Mark Oomkes]

How many have smashed a spreader with a loader?

I'm sure it happens, but how often, in reality?

Guessing rivets save them $.03 per spreader.

 

[Mark Oomkes]

Welds can cause stainless steel to rust in the weld area.

Not if done properly with stainless wire.

Haven't seen those rusty welds...or seen them fail. Seen plenty of rivets loosen or pull through under load/stress/vibration.

I was trying to remember, don't welded boats generally hold up better than riveted boats?

I think the manufacturers should start riveting frames.

 

[cwren2472]

I think the manufacturers should start superglue-ing frames

Agreed.

Rivets work pretty good on Airplanes and semi trailers which see load/stress/vibration

Plenty of riveted Lund boats that are over 60 years old and still still floating.

Yeah but.

Those planes don’t carry salt/sand by goobers overloading them and they get regularly inspected/parts replaced.

Semi floating says the coffee can in the back.

they are factory seam sealed to/too/two/dos

 

[Hydromaster]

Yeah because luggage weight is different than Salt weight.
And luggage handlers arnt goobers.

And if you don’t inspect your equipment and maintain it, I guess that’s on you.

The coffee can is to bail out the rainwater.
but we used to get going as fast as we could and then pull out the plug and it sucks the water out

But I didn’t know a salter needed to be watertight?

or do you have some red-neck plans for it?
Like making it into a Jacuzzi or a fishing boat?
