[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 435765, member: 13599"] [b]Welcome to Tin Boats !!!!!!!!!!![/b] . . . . pay attention to what Fire1386 said. . . . if you have a buddy that welds aluminum, why not have him make the hatches for you while he has the boat ????? if he can't cut sheet metal at his shop, just have him fabricate the frames then you can pop-rivet the sheet metal cover in yourself. as for P/T plywood; the last bass boat I purchased had 1/2" P/T plywood that the P/O tried to "preserve" with latex paint (that did not stick) - not enough screws to hold it down and it warped and was soft in spots . . . had to replace the whole thing with 1/2" BDX plywood preserved the proper way. as you can see, there is not enough structure to hold an adult.
