[QUOTE="Bmac, post: 400347, member: 7626"] Finally bringing this project back into the garage to work on this winter. One of the ideas I had of this build is to keep this simple enough for most guys to do at home,and to reclaim as much aluminum as possible. Stripped it down throwing everything away except the aluminum I might re-use later. Guessing I gutted 400 lbs of weight out of it. I had two of these stacks of aluminum panels I saved back,along with any angle or channel.

I will need to reinforce the sides after removing the decks. The gunwales are surprisingly stiff,but I'm still going to add side stiffeners where the decks tied in. The front bulkhead bracket will need trimmed down,and the first two ribs up front need built up to extend the floor forward.
