[QUOTE="shawnfish, post: 331320, member: 4468"] I think if you think everything out and plan very carefully( using cardstock is a must to mock things up before final assembley) you can make a hull from aluminum cheaper than you could buy one for. theres no need to reinvent the wheel, look at some boat hulls you like and take your basic measurements from them and go from there. you don't have to copy one but that will get you going in the right direction.. but like said above unless you want a couple hulls in ur garage that you don't want mock up a few before deciding on the final keeper. research the aluminum your gonna use very carefully and know what its capable of as far as tensile strength etc.... 7 P's, proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance....
