Homemade Jon Boat Build Part 1

This is the start of a homemade 1448 Jon boat. Sides are 20" with the front raised for a casting deck. The aluminum grade is 5052 with the bottom at .090" thickness and sides are .062".

You are doing a nice job!I like how you figured the modified "V" bow with the laser.

Is there any chance you could help me figure out how to measure the front? I need to figure out how to figure out the dead rise so I can make the semi v hull you have on this boat and I have no idea how to do it. I am trying to build it out of cardboard right now so I can get the measurements exact, before I spend money on materials.

I would like to figure out how to make that modified v. can you explain to me how? Would like to know how to do it my self

Just curious, why did you decide to tig that instead or running a spool gun? I have both and someday want to build something similar but assumed the spool gun would be nicer for longer runs, but if you’re moving around to spread the heat out maybe it doesn’t matter? Either way it looks great!
