[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 220659, member: 4585"] .43 for that Tracker 1436 is crazy! When I was looking for my swampsled project I looked at the Tracker 1542 and it was the thinnest at .63 (that I found) in that size range. Alumacraft uses .73 on thier riveted boats which is pretty thick for a riveted hull. Trackers Grizzley welded boats only use .100 Alum. If your going with a new riveted boat Alumacraft or Lowe is the only way to go. .73 for Alumacraft and .72 for Lowe. Alumcraft and Lowe also use big ribs that go up the sides (not just across the floor like tracker riveted boats). Most welded boats use .125 Alum except Tracker which uses .100 alum. Of course there are some out there that use really thick stuff. [/QUOTE]
