    Nice boat being built !

    Is the aluminum from the aircraft in the background ?

    With all the cleco's in the pictures I assume that you will be riveting the boat togeather. What do you think the final weight will be?
    I love hunting, golf and anything else that keeps others off the water.

    Default rivets

    Looks like the sides and bottom will be welded into an extruded channel.
    Very good construction.
    My drift boat is done that way.
    Tight lines

    This is the first boat so it will be riveted. Some welding for the corners.

    This boat will not leak..


    Next boat will be welded


    I still have yet to weigh it.
