Then again, some of us use aluminum anodes on the metal parts of the boats, so the salt does not eat up the stuff we want. Zinc and magnesium is also used, depending upon water type you are in, Ie fress vs straight salt, vs a briny salt/fressh mix if near a river/creek/stream outlet and salt water.
Some larger boats are using an equal to fiberglass hulls, and aluminum tops and vice versa. Look up Delta industries, Westport yachts among others. safeboats in bremerton washington, makes aluminum rib style boats for government entities. Mostly US Coast Guard. but many go to local police etc too. Quite a few aluminum boat builders here in Washington state. More of those than fiberglass I believe.
