[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 376354, member: 15465"] ]Yes, the 2nd picture is what was cut out of jet ski, it is just upside down so you can see the strakes I added (which were just for glue surface). Not sure what you men by 'joining pcs' but here is a snip of the 'stringers I welded in, they are what the jet ski insert was bolted down to: [attachment=0]Capture 4.JPG[/attachment If I was to do this again, I would make the stringers from angle aluminum. 1 pc would be glued to hull & welded at the ends to the cross ribs, the other upside down & welded to the 1st. Then you can match the taper of the jet ski insert without as much work as I went thru. A guy could just poo rivet all this together & then have a shop do the welding (I would have been better off with a shop). Airborne - The would work fine with a fiberglass hull. Most guys are using aluminum hulls because the light weight requires less draft. Not to forget gives more speed! [/QUOTE]
