So, I figured I was good enough with aluminum tig to start a small repair for a friend that rescued a boat out in the bay. This is a very salty aluminum boat. To say the least it was corroded. I cleaned the area up real good and gave it my best. I still have to weld the inside of the crack, but here are some action shots. I will post pics of the inside when I am done.
Reminder, I just started welding today. Any tips are appreciated.

Looks great! You just started welding today or welding on the boat today? If you just started welding your aluminum work looks great

Just started aluminum. Really just started tig. Thanks. The boat was a pain to start, but once I got about an inch of bead it went good. I started back further than the crack to I could get a good consistent bead.
