[QUOTE="thill, post: 499822, member: 4972"] One thing missing from this boat was the starboard corner cap. I looked online, and they want a lot of money for them, like $160 - Yikes! Since I was welding aluminum anyway, I decided to fabricate a corner cap. I didn't have the right aluminum, but I had some scrap angle and a small piece of flat stock, so I made the perimeter with the angle, and then filled the center with the flat plate. It looked really hokey, but I welded it heavily so I could put some decent radius on the corners, and the end result looks decent: [ATTACH type="full"]115238[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]115239[/ATTACH] It probably took me two hours, but at least I got it done.
