I would stay far away from that boat. Heat does some funny things to steel. Maybe the hot fire quenched with water tempered it. At any rate steel subjected to high temps is not the same steel as before. We have a couple of metalurgists on the forum like Sunchaser. It will be interesting to hear from them.
