Today we worked on the aluminum hull build on the airboat project. My son and I had a big learning curve on this part of the build. It might not be the main stream way to do it but we are learning as we go. Hope you enjoy this video and thank you for watching. #aluminum #welding #airboat #fabrication

You were right about cutting the sides and welding them instead of bending them. All the shops down south weld the sides on. There are a few things they do different then what I've seen on your videos so far, but still not bad for buulding a boat in your garage.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I really wish we would finish this build. It was a Father son build and my son lost interest in it and started working a lot of hours. Plus he got a new girlfriend so his focus is on other stuff. Since that build we have moved and a lot of stuff has changed. Sorry and I hope to finish it some day. Take care and stay safe.

looking really good !!! I think put your sides on then push the front where you think it should go then cut the bulkhead to that angle... I would wait on the braces in the floor until you got your interior done so they are not in the way...keep it up looking really good!!!

Mike I think you are right I need to cut my sides then tack it up there then look at it on the front of the boat and trim where needed. On the braces I think two will work. Like you said I'm going to put the set mount in then make my mind up on where to put the brace. Thank you for your input.

Thank you for the comment. Yes I'm 50 yrs old and I really don't know much about the camera stuff as it is. But the slow down part yes it takes more time but i don't move as fast as I us to so I don't mind that part. I like showing what I'm doing so people can learn and I can learn weather it is right or wrong.Take care and stay safe.

cool project you have going on here! i am a fabricator in a airboat shop and information is hard to find for sure, seems like alot of tribal knowledge in the industry. i would love to shed some light on some stuff for you and offer some insight on how i approach problems that can appear. heat input into the boat can be a huge issue, especially on a flat bottom boat.

Anyway you when is the next video?? Duck season is closing in on us. I grew up in Nederland TX, where are you guys from ??? Good job and good luck !!!

Have you decided what you are going to do with the ends of the tubing to keep it from filling up with water. Also I'm assuming this is a Lake boat because that is going to be real heavy. I think you will find T bar and buck rivets will be much lighter ( on a glades boat) I don't know about lake boats except that are two different animals.
