Book Description
Metal boats are inexpensive to build, easy to customize, and tough enough to withstand abuse that would destroy hulls made of any other material. Find out what it takes to build and outfit your own steel or aluminum yacht--for less than the cost of a custom fiberglass or wooden boat. This practical guide covers how to use welding equipment and make sure your welds are solid, how to keep electrolysis and corrosion at bay, which metals are best for marine use, and clever ways to improve boat safety and comfort. Plus, you'll get help deciding which building tasks you can tackle and which are best hired out. With over 100 detailed photographs, you can see for yourself exactly what goes into building and fitting out a metal boat. Whether you're an ambitious amateur or an accomplished metalworker, Metal Boats will show you how to make your dream boat a real boat.

Quite ok if you just want to know the basics of Metal Boat Building. If, for example you want to buy a finished metal boat. If you really want to build a boat yourself, consider Tom Colvins Steel Boats (if i'm remembering the title right).
 a very basic book , which does not offer enough useful info. August 24, 1998

This book is for someone who wants to know a little about some of the basic things to look at on a boat. I did not find it to be a good value for the money and would not recommend it.
