I have started a build on a 17.5' length X 4.5' bottom width 1/8" thick hull boat build. Here are some pictures of the hull stamped out of a 20'x8' aluminum sheet. I cult the V and tacked it up and then cut the rake. I fitted the transom on with the 6" built in jack plate. The hull has a built in 5" V. Looking good so far, now for the runners to be tacked and bulk heads fitted.side cuts.jpgv cut.jpgbow cut.jpginside view.jpgside view.jpg

I got the transom tacked up. Just need some final trimming and braces now.
