Jigger Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Started work on the rear casting platform getting the frame ready. Kinda tricky as I was really limited on aluminum, but ended up with the right measurements... I used cutoffs to make a support bracket under the beams and bolted them together... Got home today and was motivated to trick out the front end abit. I had in mind to have storage in the front, but now theres going to be a smaller compartment. I found these lying around the other day... make a notch... Et VOILA! Spinnerbait compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeontroller Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Looks like you're doing a fine job there! Just watch the weight you add! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigger Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks pt. I posted in another thread about the weight difference between the alum and wood. The aluminum braces weigh roughly 1/3 of the same braces made of wood. if anything the boat will be even more stable in rough water. Either way, the major framework is done now. The only extra weight will be from the plywood and carpet. Thanks again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
