How to unload Chinese tin boats

[SpringFever552]

Exactly what the buyers said ( both Chinese) the price reflect the cheap labour to built them and materials. And what is not made in china now a days, I buy a lot of equipment and tools ( parts and all) for my vehicles and machinery and 90% of it comes from china unfortunately

I'm just glad to hear it was 2 Chinese buyers....not that there's anything wrong with that

lol, never buying a tin boat, they just hired me to
Pull them out of the c can and put them on the boat trailers, the buyers know what they bought and are fully confident on the purchase, from what I could see (lots I did not) I don’t think they are as junky as people think they are at a fraction of the price, it sure got a lot of attention from this crew

All depends on who’s welding and how much knowledge they have on the process. The top could be a pro and the bottom a beginner. Most manufacturers are using some sort of pulsed mig setup these days and then tig for some of the more technical areas. Where you run into the issues is when your bosses expect a certain amount of work to be done in a day and you feel rushed and start to move faster without changing your setting and the pulses start getting further apart so you’re not getting the proper coverage and weld reinforcement. When I was looking to purchase my first boat, I wanted to support local and buy a KF. I looked at a LOT of their boats in that time period and was turned off by every single one.

I was asking because in my limited experience the top looks like a nice TIG and the bottom looks like someone was trying to make MIG look like TIG, which usually results in really ****** welds unless you’re really really good.

Exactly. On the point of too far spacing between pulses. I seen a pic of a silver streak the other day and was a wtf moment. Im also a red seal welder.

It’s like the aluminum dump truck boxes
