Idiot me wants to try building an 8' aluminum boat to see if idiot me wants to build a bigger (20-24') aluminum boat to replace our current aluminum boat. The plans I'm looking at use .080" aluminum and probably require welding somewhere in the neighborhood of 24' of .080" aluminum sheet together either in a butt or t joint. I have a millermatic 211 and would buy the spool gun for it, the spool gun does not support .023" wire and will only run .030" and .035" wire. How much am I going to hate welding this much thin aluminum with a spool gun? It's been years since I've attempted to weld aluminum. If it was .080" steel I wouldn't be worried.
