Canterbury / Re: Waimak Slalom 2020 - 29th November
« Last post by GAZ on November 25, 2020, 09:13:11 AM »
Hi,
I checked out the river last weekend and we will hold the slalom up near the Waimak Gorge bridge. It could be up or down stream, depending on how the river looks this weekend, but launching will be at the gorge bridge.

Cheers
Gary

Make your tank so the ends sit inside so you are not having to weld outside corners with a mig

It is possible to mig weld a fuel tank but not easy or ideal.
The main problem is tracking it with mig and then running over tacks/stop starts etc....will end up a bit ugly and design might need to be changed to allow easier joins/welds.
Any cheap AC/DC tig will lay a decent weld (depending on operator) but with mig welders the cheaper ones can sometimes be harder to dial in.

General Board / Weld fuel tank
« Last post by Reid01 on November 24, 2020, 04:09:24 AM »
Would a pulse mig handle a fuel tank? I have such inconsist welds with my lincion 180 and would like to upgrade, would like a tig but can?t afford both, also no experience with tigs, however next boat I do I will probable buy a welded hull so maybe I should just get a tig for the little projects on boats but them double pulse migs like the ever last 253 make some beauty welds, and are listed for 2500 Canadian which is probable the max I could spend. Anyhow anyone successfully mig a tank and what welder did you use? or what tig would you recommend?

Hard to trim the base without making the grate opening smaller as I already have the hole cut in the bottom of the boat but I guess I could fill it in a bit

Please find attached the results from yesterday's Giant Slalom.

I'll also attach some great drone footage of a couple of the boats doing the course and taking kids for a spin.  Thanks to Time Colville for the footage.
