Consider the type of stainless steel you want to use. Marine-grade stainless steel is typically the most suitable for boats due to its high corrosion resistance.

Don't forget about weight considerations too. While stainless steel is strong, it's also heavy. This can impact the boat's speed and manoeuvrability.

On top of that, you also need to think about maintenance. Stainless steel boats require regular polishing to keep them looking shiny and new.

All great points! An important thing to remember is that while stainless steel boats can be more expensive initially, they often have fewer maintenance costs in the long term compared to other materials.
