[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 124043, member: 2148"] Well I went to Metal Supermarket and got some aluminum today. It may not be the cheapest place to get stuff, but they cut it to my exact dimensions and price it by the sq ft, so you don't have any waste. It was all cut to size in a couple hours. The aluminum sheet is .063 and was $5/sq ft. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but it was convenient. Here's what I'm doing with it. I don't have a bow mount trolling motor for this boat, but it did come with a transom mount motor. I figured i could simply get a piece of of aluminum angle to mount it to the bow. It's 3"x4"x 1/4". Seams like it will work really well.... and it only cost $5.

I'll get lips bent on it on Thursday and paint it up so I can install it next week. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Sheet Metal work.JPG"]10797._xfImport[/ATTACH] I also got a couple pieces for around the splash well that I believe had wood previously. I went with aluminum for theses little 1'x1' areas because it will then be flush with the deck instead of raised up 3/4". [/QUOTE]
