[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 458059, member: 15465"] That is some nice material! One thing I ran into is heat distortion from welding a long seam (4 foot). I should have restrained the panel next to the weld with angle iron & c clamps, or something similarly stiff. Tacking didn't stop the bowing that I got. I spent considerable time trying to bend it back & have lots of little dents to prove it. Maybe your build frame could have stringers next to keel,& cover them with sheetmetal to keep the smoke detector from going off so often. Keep the pix coming! [/QUOTE]
