Who thought I had lost my mind when I started drilling speed holes? Comment below!
What is the best way to reinforce a thin johnboat hull?. After considering several options I decided that I would go all out and weld a 1/4" thick plate of 5052 aluminum to the bottom of my 16 foot outboard jet boat. Everything was done with basic carpentry tools and a $1000 AHP AlphaTig Welder.
The total price of all the Aluminum was $1400 Canadian, which was actually quite reasonable considering the price of lumber at the moment.
This video is of the first 6 days of the project, where I complete the Hull, and outboard jet tunnel. Please subscribe if you don't want to miss the next part of this jet boat build.
