I kinda inherited these 2 boats from my nephew, his father in law owned these boats but he has become ill and can't take them out anymore. The first one is an Alweld Escort this monster is 22' long 8' wide and 31" sides. This is going to make a nice rig someday. The second one is 20' long 8' wide and 26" sides flatbottom, it needs work as he must have beat this thing up and cracked a number of the ribs on the floor. Looks like I'll have to break out the old welder again.

geeez Rod!
He who dies with the most boats wins! :LOL2: Thats awsome I wish some one would give me some huge boats like those. I see some great future projects for you. That first one will like it will cut thru the rough water like a shark. Looks like you'll be building boats for the next few years anyway. Cant wait to see what you do with them.
 
Man, oh, man. How big is the yard?!
Or I guess the next question is, hell, with all the projects, when are you opening up your shop?
hahahaha.

That 1st boat is definitely a beast.
V-hull, nice. 20' + pontoons, huge. Woah.

I've got a 16' + pontoons Alweld flatbottom myself.
She's done me right but I think I need a v-hull or mod-v for a smoother ride.

That second boat is screaming for your next 'Boatright' conversion.
Make it an all out bay/bow/flounder rig.
 
... the trailers look like a bit small. Maybe need an upgrade. Just a word of caution.
