simple rockwell test will show the hardness in the aluminum

Yes and welding puts more heat in than that fire probably did. I think it would be obvious based on distortion of the hull how much heat it was exposed to. Paint and vinyl wrap burn off pretty easily. Definitely worth some none destructive testing of the aluminum though.

guess i’m wrong
My first thought was just to straight edge the sections and see how much distortion there was.. and only cut out and replace if required. Hardness testing is brilliant..

Updated photos for the Kingfisher BBQ. https://www.facebook.com/share/12FnR1Pox15/ Looks like the floor melted and some of the livewell. 50k estimated in parts to repair, probably equivalent in elbow grease? A lot of dreams burned up, a real shame.

Looking at the new pics going to say she is done! Interior, all windows, fuel tanks, hoses , all electrical and lots of structure fixes. 6k for the trailer and if engines are salvageable may 10k.
16k and get back some scrap dollars if you clean it up. Such a shame

For comparison, a 23 foot Grady comes with a 140 gallon tank.

A major concern in the design of land-based and marine aluminum structures is fire safety. This concern is exacerbated for aluminum alloys due to property degradation which occurs at temperatures as low as 150°C with a 50% yield strength reduction at ~275°C. melting point, in the range 600-660°C.

I feel like this has been for sale for a while? With a new 21 foot hewescraft or kingfisher on sale and not selling at 115k or so what is a 10 year old VI made boat worth?2015 Lifetimer 2050 in Parksville. $89,950

That's the type of boat we just don't see around here. Notice the main engine is on a tiller too...no steering helm up front!

If it has wood floors = $$$ when time to replace.
