Re: Steel Hull?
Excellent boat building material that it is fibreglass has a serious vulnerability in it's flamability, once it starts burning there is little chance of putting it out with the equipment available on most boats.

The ductility of metals is their strongest property in resisting holing, no other boat building material surpasses them in this quality.
