Building Our First Boat
We are building our first aluminum boat with plans bought from Boden Boat Plans. I will start a gallery here on this site with the progress from our building.
Rico.

Pretty cool, rico.
It looks like you're building it in a backyard... what type of welding gear are you using?

Hi
We're using a Miller Mig 251. This is a good machine apparently.
Mostly everything was cut using dimensions from a plan.
Its been a challenge but a good thing between father and son.
