Re: what do ya think? all flat curves no compound curves. shouldnt be any problem to do in alum. how many pieces, dont know.
low rake, square chine, short side. figure the bottom and lower sides could be thick, with a lighter top.
stock form is 15 foot and about 40 inch bottom. it doesnt look that wide but it is. all that could be adjusted. with the top like it is it would be stout and easy to hide. make the bilnd very small and lite.the boat in stock form is very stable in the water and has more storage under the sides than you would think. could be customed for rod racks and or gun racks. the front makes a great place to mount a trooling motor.

Re: what do ya think? Seen a guy that was sellin these on Ebay awhile back, only hes was buildin em outta marine grade pw and coatin em in glass. Really cool lookin set up, just wonderin how well they'll handle choppy waters or grass hoppin with no rake.
