Unfortunately, no. Hopefully, after the holidays I will get back to work. I have done a little work, but nothing picture worthy. A lot of cutting plywood and fitting the curves.
I got the metal from https://www.metalsdepot.com. They were the only place that I could find that had reasonable...
Thanks... unfortunately, I haven't had much time to work on it lately. Between buying a house, a new baby and work my time is at a premium. Hopefully, I will have some free time in the coming months and will be able to finish everything up. I just finished reading your post and the boat came...
For my build, I have been using 1/8" thick aluminum. Most of the angle aluminum that I bought was 1x1x1/8" with some 2x2x1/8" a critical spot. Aside from those, I had 3x1x1/8" c channel to raise the decks.

I have a 1436 tracker that I put a 8 hp short shaft Mercury on. It will top out with me, plus all my gear, carpeted decks, etc at 17 mph. With a 15 hp, I bet that boat will fly.
