[QUOTE="FishinFL, post: 140094, member: 3261"] Well my aluminum came in today and I will be getting started hopefully on monday, I will only have about $150 in all the aluminum. Just found a motor, which is a 2000 yamaha 20 hp, that should push it pretty well. The boat is starting to come together. I just can't figure out how I want it exactly set up but I think that will start to show as we start working on it. Hopefully I can pick the motor up on Sunday and maybe give it a run before I start any work. I will start posting pictures of the progress and if anyone has any suggestions feel free to throw some input my way. Right now I now that we are building a rear deck, floor between the back bench seat and the middle, and a front deck from the bow bench to the middle bench with storage under it. I am going to get the conduit (think thats how it's spelled) for the wiring and get into place. Question about the foam, I read that adding foam won't help because what makes the boat float is the displacement of water. I can get foam and put in under the floor, which can be added later because the frames are getting welded in but the decks and floor will be screwed to the frame so it can be removed if I ever have to do any work to it.
