    Hey, guys! I am trying to build a duck hunting flat bottom boat. I have created a design by looking at some flat bottom jon boats but I am not too sure of my drawings. Can some one send me a design or point to where I may be able to download a design spec. Thanks a bundle.

    Hm. Well, you could try a ready made flatbottom aluminum boat in lieu of building it. By the way, what's the material you have in mind?

    Well! I guess I am the builder type. I know it would have been much easier to buy it from the market but I guess I would like to build one with my son. I am planing on making a 18' X 56" flat bottom aluminum boat so we can call it ours. I know some aluminum welding and also have a nice welder with a spool gun. I was planning on getting all the cuts and bends at a local fabrication shop and then just do the welding myself. I have already purchased the aluminum sheets 5086-H116 2 20' long sheets and a 10' cut piece. I also have plans to have flotation pods in the back just like the ones on the www.fisherbeavertail.com boats. I will be installing a 35HP Vanguard Hyper motor on it by www.mudbuddy.com

    I would appreciate if I may get my hands on some designs so I can verify my own design. and also incorporate some good ideas into my design.

    Thanks for all your help.
