[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 479103, member: 15636"] That’s not even half of it, the biggest part is the labor! Plus the tin must be formed with all the radius where they go in about 2-3“ where the sides and bottom get riveted to the hull. [b]You will NOT find anyone to do this for you ... [/b]and even if you did, it would be cost prohibitive! I only did mine as I had already bought the boat, motor, and trailer ... and she was a good hull with 16-degrees of true deadrise at the stern, which is very uncommon for most smaller tin boats. Plus it had a superb OB motor! In the end it was a TON of work & effort and while I learn new skills ... I would certainly not do it again ... EVER! I had only paid $1000 for the entire rig, repaired it, then used it for a few years, and later sold it for a good $1,500 profit, so I was happy. [/QUOTE]
