Lets see if we can start a thread about boats

[MrDenton]

Can I add some boating content here?
AQ22, AQ22HS, AQ19, AQ17 and K500. What are the differences, how can I tell what,if any if those, I might have. As some know, I own the former SS/PS8 Mango Madness. I bought it from Darner less engine and trailer. Just curious what I might have/need.
I'm planning on sending the rudder, props and shaft out for X-ray. Any suggestions on where to send them in the SoCal/Corona area?

Differences are strength. You can have it tested to find out but you're going to loose an inch off the shaft to do that.

first, I would asked Darner what is in the boat.
Second, yes slight color difference between Monel and some Aquamets and 316. Hard to explain how you tell over the internet.
Maybe Westernaero can help, he works with exotic alloys for a living.


Not sure its necessary to have your stuff X rayed. Wet mag will usually tell you what you need to know, unless some of it is stainless.
X ray is great for looking for inclusions when it was forged or welded. I don't think you are looking for that are you.
Cracks tend to form on the surface first, and wet magging will detect those pretty well. Reading X rays can be a art form, and its not a whole lot easier to see a hairline crack in X ray than on the object itself.
