Re: To Build a Boat (any boat)

Wimper- Are ya thinkin' about buildin' another boat? <br />It does not seem plausible. My aluminum V-hull (10') won't do 10 with my 3. I wonder if they tested it with the weedless leg

Ya, finish one project before beginning another. At this rate, you can open a marina!

Pics as requested. The last one is my Dad, who I built this for. The boat is a Gator Croc (www.gatorboats.com). It will live most of its life in the pond it was launched in. It was 20 deg outside, so testing was kept to a minimum, but she did float and was watertight.<br /><br />The name on the boat is my Dad's nickname. His middle name is Willie and he spent his working life around towboats, retiring as a Captain. The nickname has been around longer than me.<br /><br />

Re: To Build a Boat (any boat)

Hey guys I want your advice on something. My boat has an aluminum hull. And, people have told me once it gets a coat of oxidation, you shouldn't polish it because it protects it. Its definately oxidized, so If i was to polish it what kind of product would polish and protect it?

Re: To Build a Boat (any boat)

CK1, as soon as its warm, he's going to put a 40lb trolling motor on it. He was joking about hanging a 25hp on for a funny pic. It is 11' long and rated for 5.

Re: To Build a Boat (any boat)

Ya, a 40lb troller would probably be okay, i've just never beeen a fan of electric. I do think a 3-5hp engine would look good on there

Jason.... looks like you'd need to lay down flat to pass under that bridge. Watch your head!

Re: To Build a Boat (any boat)

That turned out nice Jason. It's not going to stay in that pond is it? Looks like a fishing boat to me. <br />Eric
