When customers are looking for a new AB Inflatables, one of the usual questions is: should it have an Aluminum or Fiberglass Hull? There’s no right or wrong answer, it depends on the needs, circumstances, use and tastes of each customer. Here some key facts of each, which could help answer this question:

– Handling: These are easier to carry and dock.
– Customization: A consumer can design further details and different layouts with the boat builder, due to the fact that molds are not used in its construction process.
-Maintenance: Aluminum requires very little maintenance other than keeping the salt off to protect the hull from corrosion.
– Global Care: The recyclable property of the aluminum and the nature of its manufacturing process, make it more environmentally friendly.
– Safety: An aluminum hull has a higher melting point than other type of boat building structures. Therefore, it make slower the fire expansion and becomes safer under a fire situation.
Fiberglass Hull Facts
– Aesthetics: A fiberglass hull tender has a molded and sleeker finish.
– Repairs: Fiberglass hulls are easier and cheaper to repair when minor accidents occur. It is also easier to find fiberglass technicians almost everywhere.
– Under Deck Ample Space: Fiberglass console ribs have more under deck space on the smaller sizes (Up to 15ft). These can offer a higher under deck fuel tank capacity and/or more ample space for storage, among other benefits.

AB aluminum inflatable boats feature a Chrome-free Pretreatment before powder coating that provides the following advantages:
- Superior anti-corrosive resistance: All AB aluminum inflatable boats are made with the best marine grade aluminum which provides protection against corrosion. However, if your preference is to have your aluminum dinghy powder coated, our chrome-free pretreatment also provides additional anti-corrosive resistance to your aluminum boat.
- Superior Adherence: When the chrome-free pretreatment is applied to each of the aluminum hulls, this technology helps to increase the adherence of the coating to the aluminum hull once is applied.
