Hi, new to the forum and am looking to purchase a tig/stick welder in a few weeks

[mrflashlite]

My name is Ed and I'm from Ohio. I keep my certifications up for structural and sanitary welding, I like to tig stainless steel piping but really don't do a lot of structural stuff now that I'm getting a little older and don't like climbing in the pipe racks much anymore. I have been looking to buy a trailerable sailboat and this is one of the reasons that I want a welder for home use, you can find a lot of sailboats that don't have trailers that people are tired of paying slip fees for but if someone doesn't want to be at that particular lake its hard to sell. I am looking to build a nice trailer for a 25 - 27 foot sailboat, I am not going to trailer it everytime I use it just to bring it home in the winter to do maint. and maybe a different lake on occasion. My dad was a boilermaker and he had me out in the driveway with a little red lincoln buzz box when I was little learning to weld go karts and mini bikes, he always said that if I could learn to stick two pieces of metal together properly I would always have a good paying job, he was right. I am interested in the everlast welders because of the cost first and I really need a tig/stick machaine that I know I am not going to be using everyday so I don't want to have a lot of cash tied up in it. I also do want the ability to weld aluminum if the need arises. I am looking to buy a 200dx or the 250ex I will have some questions as I go that I hope you guys can help me with. I know that they have just made some changes to the 200dx making it a dual voltage machaine and I think they changed to foot pedal configuration but I'm not sure if it is a dual voltage machine or is it being offered in a dedicated 110 and dedicated 220 machine?? I also have some questions about using a different tig torch for these units and the fittings you would need.
Thanks,
Ed
