Tariff on Aluminum - Will it make mud boats more expensive?
How is the new tariffs on metals going to effect the mud boat world? I assume the increase in aluminum prices will drive costs up. I would also think that those wanting a custom mud hull might jump on it now before the prices do jump.

Working on building a boat now, and was told the prices have definitely gone up. I wasn't told how much, but that it was a noticeable change on the consumer end.

Aluminum price (by ton) has been dropping for 5 years. Yet since a spike a few years before, boat prices have been on a steady increase.

I just ordered material to build one and the price has gone up about 700 over the whole order and that's just 1 boat
