A couple of days ago I saw a wide bean about 55x11 feet and it had no paint on it anywhere. I didn't get a photo but noticed some etched text on one part of it which included the words COR TEN.
COR TEN is weathering steel used for sculptures and things like that - it is a special alloy designed to remain unpainted. Not sure about its corrosion resistance underwater though.
I really like the idea of an unpainted boat but I wonder how practical it is - would the surface rust rub off on your clothes etc.

He likes rust, he did actually tell me once, he's just going to wax it at some stage, I think he was joking though.

I like the boat and the windows, has a bit of an industrial look to it.
Each to their own though, just been told by a house clearance auction type of place that my iron railings that weigh a ton are worth several tons - I was expecting to sell for scrap...
