Re: new boat by: Custom Aluminum Works That's what I was thinking Slinger; looks like it could be a heavy boat for a stock motor.
Been there and done that.

Re: new boat by: Custom Aluminum Works No doubt

Re: new boat by: Custom Aluminum Works I used the duralux aluminum boat green, never put anything over it. It holds up ok for a cheap single stage paint. The only part that has problems is the rails around the sides that rub against stuff. It chips fairly easy.
Now what are all the pipes for?

Re: new boat by: Custom Aluminum Works This is a tough crowd. I like it. Interesting ,chines taper at bottom/back of the boat. Will This help in the turn? How much do you think it will weigh?
