Had a lot going on this past year, and just now getting back to building a few boats.

This is a 20'x 48"
3/16" bottom, 24" x 1/8" sides
4" catwalk gunwales
5' front deck with dry storage
full weld in floor
Split rear seat boxes with dry storage.
hunt deck with splash well (getting a short shaft motor the owner already has)
Spud poles.

Still got to build a dog ladder for it the will fit into one of the rear spud holes, and a grab bar, then get it painted.

As soon as I can get this one out, I'm starting on a 24' bay boat build.

I've only got a couple of hours of work left on this boat to get it wrapped up and ready for paint, but have had things come up and get in the way.

The guys I'm building it for wanted some sort of dog ladder for the hunt deck. Dog ladder worked out pretty good, it drops into one of the rear spud poles, and folds up and fits under the front deck when not in use. Hope to have everything wrapped up and the boat acid washed by Saturday.

Looks killer man. Great job!

Just out of curiosity, about how many hours does one take on a project like this? I'm not much of an aluminum welder, but I do have all the tools at my disposal and would love to try my hand at a build from scratch one of these days.

I'll have 60 hours in building it. Probably another 6 or 8 total in painting it.

I've built a bunch of them, and 60 hours on one like this with the weld in floor and all is moving along pretty good.
