Unless want to get into a huge project I think I would look for an already built toon, it will probably save you money and alot of work to buy a complete boat.
If you get just tubes you will need crossmembers, deck, carpet, rails, wireing, console, motor pan ect ect ect so by the time you are done you will have more into it that oyu could have gotten a built boat for.
