This group of friends is building a 24 1/2 ft design from ken hankinson called the baracuda. if anyone has updated pictures of a boat they are building i would love to post them. especially if you have some special tool or process that you would like to share to make it easier for the rest of us. thanks for your comments. cb_aluminum boat. But building a single boat yourself is considerably different from one built on a production line, and thus may require certain adjustments and even a revised mind set on the part of the builder. first, there is no one, superior way to build an aluminum boat. in fact, there can be many suitable approaches and variations.. Still an aluminum boat, all told, costs roughly 5 to 15 percent more to build than a steel one. though it takes less time, it also takes more skill to build an aluminum boat. welding aluminum is a sophisticated process requiring special gas-shielded equipment..
Tion boats. aluminum alloys used by the marine industry have high mechanical pro p e r - ties and a good resistance to corrosion. they are produced in a wide vari-ety of sheets and plates of diff e r ent thickness, and extrusions of various shapes. after 100 years in existence, the possibili-ties in aluminum boat building guarantee new. When frames are nc cut, the frame curvature automatically follows the plate belly. when building frames using flat bar there should always be some transverse curvature introduced in order to accommodate the natural "belly" that the plate will develop when placed on the boat.. As owner rex briant says, "at white pointer boats, fit-out and construction are the bones to longevity." in practice it means a meticulous approach to boat building that includes fitting all options and accessories to the bare hull before removing them again prior to painting..
