Cause it's actually pretty cheap in my book...the boats the easy part...the motoris gonna be the b*itch part....I was gonna buy an older fiberglass boat but decided to spend the money on something I'll use alot more...I'll be able to haul people and stuff down the tangi river in it and fish of it in the summers and run people to diff duck blinds down kanarvin in Delacroix during the winter

no, I was expecting the aluminum to cost more than that, me and a friend made a aluminum center console for his 21fter and it cost $600 for the aluminum not including wire, tips and a couple tanks of argon, I was thinking about making a skiff before I bought my boat. I was gonna use .090 for sides and .125 for bottom.
