You won't be able to TIG worth a **** and its really not good for structural reapairs on an aluminmum boat anyway, MIG is that way to go.

If you thinking about doing this on a weld craft, G3, express....... don't, hulls are to thin and being inexperieced you will blow right through.

Equipment for something decent will be no less than a grand.
