I have 2. Pitting over .8 cm. No neck cracks. You want 'em, you ship 'em.
This was second hydro. It's interesting. Marine aluminum made after 2003 or 4 in the USA suffers terribly from pitting. I have hull plating that was replaced in 2008 that we can't stop the pitting. Incat has licensed their design for US boatbuilders, but won't allow the boats to be built unless it's Australian aluminum, because the American marine grade is crap. Alcoa has had to buy back a number of vessels because they have pitted to the point of unable to pass inspection.
Anyway, these are 2004 Luxfers.
