What did you request when you got the piece for the hull already shaped for the most part?

@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms

1756 flat bottom with rounded chines and a flared out profile on the sides similar to a havoc will get you in the right direction. You can take a screen shot of the bare hull from my first video and send it to them for reference.

Not going to lie, this makes me want to try and make my own aluminum boat… I think I’ll just start small thought and start with modifying Jon boats and flipping them then maybe I can tackle this one day

@@AustinReels I have accumulated the tools over years of building things and the cost of materials fluctuates so adding what I have won’t help much. But I do believe you could buy the harbor freight multi process welder and the materials for a smaller and basic Jon boat for under 6k.

Thanks brother. I don’t have any plans. Just explained what I wanted. You could probably call frank at pierce in Broussard and tell him you want the same thing that I got.

Where in alabama are you ? I live in Butler (choctaw County) and would love to meet you. Want to build me a different kind of boat,but would need some advice on what to do on the bottom and with the aluminum. The boat is originally made from plywood, but I want aluminum. Need to know the thicknesses and strength and just to pick your brains basically.

Now that you have had the boat built for a year, is there anything about the hull design that you would do differently?

Not. I love the hull design. Layout has been great and the stability is great as well. I did get a smaller motor though. It now has a 60hp that weighs over 100 lbs less than the tohatsu. The 75 was just too much for a tiller in this boat.
