 where can get material bent into hull?
Anyone know somewhere that can take get material and bend it into a hull?
Would rather stay in texas or louisiana but guess if had to venture out then guess that would work

 Re: where can get material bent into hull?
If you want a boat with no more than 24" sides i can do it for you  always need a victim to try it on....Bring your check book There is also a few places Longview, Jacksonville, Tyler that do sheet metal work. All you need is a big enough throat on your break. Later

 Re: where can get material bent into hull?
If you want to do it let me know we can practice on some steel before we bend your hull..........
The only welds you will have to do is on the front.
later

 Re: where can get material bent into hull?
alot of builders use pierce...I called them and seemed pretty reasonable for a 1436 square chine, straight sided with 18" sides.
gonna see what other places might can do
