Building an aluminum boat?
Has anyone on here ever built their own AL boat? I have a semi trailer repair shop with lots of metal working tools. Plate brake, shear, ironworker, plasma cutters, hi frequency AL welders, etc... None of it is CNC controlled though.
I have a 96 Bass Tracker and it's works okay but I'm a big guy and need a bigger boat for stability. Our lake is large and shallow so it gets rough in the wind. I want something 18-20 feet long with a 84" beam or so.
I have been kicking this around for a few months and I may bite the bullet and do it. I was wondering if there are any plans out there for building boats? We don't use AutoCad so if I build one each piece will have to be custom fitted.
Just looking for pointers or advice. Thanks.
