I know this from shopping for aluminum for my floor, the strongest is somewhat brittle and a good hit could crack it instead of bend it, vice versa with the weakest, could be too flimsy. I would ask Aucoin or Brother Breaux, they use the stuff everyday. |

Use the same material as your hull is made out of. Check the manufacturer website to find out. |

[quote="DeathMetalDukk"]I know this from shopping for aluminum for my floor, the strongest is somewhat brittle and a good hit could crack it instead of bend it, vice versa with the weakest, could be too flimsy.quote] Bingo 5052 is probably the most well rounded alloy of aluminum you can get meaning it has great anti-corrsion properties as well as can bend fairly easy but not too flimsy I dont know it for a fact but probably the most common and easier to find unless you deal with a large supplier |
