But like you said, shipping will eat you alive. You can certainly splice sheets together though if you're determined. My first boat was made up of (4) 5x10 sheets of metal. I had a seam up the middle and on the sides. Was it ideal? No, but it's survived 9 years now at this point so can't ask for much more. I would advise using 5086 for the hull. It's a little stiffer than 5052 and will give you a bit more rigid boat. Also it'll have better corrosion resistance if you every take it to the ocean.</p></blockquote><p></p>
