[Electric Boats] Re: finally finished

 

Victor,

The mention of "Zinga" caught my eye enough to google it. Fascinating stuff.. an active sacrificial anode covering the entire boat but no hot dipping.
Where did you buy yours from and what sort of pricing did you get? What other experiences have you had with it.. is it as good as indicated on their website?

Please share!

My best,
Bill

I welded up the frame from bits of steel that were kicking around after building the boat, then blasted it, slapped on two coats of "Zinga", let it dry, then dunked the whole frame in a tank of fresh water for a couple days. Made the zinc adhere really well. Then painted with an enamel. It was mostly experimental and I'll make up a new frame later, perhaps from aluminum or stainless. We'll see.
