 Building a boat
Where to get aluminium to build a boat? Locally I can't find any sheets big enough. Who can crimp a hull for me?

 Re: Building a boat
Jason (Uncle J) used to sell a kit that had all/most of the materials, including crimped sheets for sides. Don't know if he still does.

 Re: Building a boat
Yeah I knew I would have to make a trip somewhere to get it. I tried the local foundry but no luck.

 Re: Building a boat
Bayou Metals can even brake the material for you. I run the weld shop in their yard and we have a 450 ton brake press. They may even deliver it to your door. Call Taylor at 985-643-3340, tell him Westin said to call.
