You Australians are so lucky! Your aluminum boats are phenomenal. Here in the states they old boats are glorified canoes or $20,000 fishing rigs. I’d love a no nonsense “Tinny” like yours. Great video!
@@joshcook4515 We do, but the freeboard is about half of what I see in this video. Our aluminum boats were primarily made for lake and pond fishing, maybe an ocean bay. It seems like Australian boats are more robust and have a generous freeboard. Also, aluminum boat manufacturers are scaling down production. Everyone wants a fishing kayak. There’s also a big trend of building “tiny bass boats” with old aluminum boats. That’s fine and all but with the amount of casting decking and rod lockers, live wells and seating people put in them, they’re only good for one person! Haha.
Nice build bro, im not sure if you know but careful putting different metals into alli hey bro 😊 it can cause cathodic reactions degrading the metals over time 😊
Thanks for watching the video mate. 🤙 We purchased the aluminium extrusions from bunnings, you can choose from angle, channel, shs and others to suit your exact needs.
Thanks for watching the video mate. We wanted to keep the screws flush with the deck, but if for some reason the timber starts to lift washers will be an easy solution if necessary.

Great video mate and a succesful project, looking at spending sone time on my young blokes boat provided me some ideas. Well done.
Looks great mate. Must be stoked with the outcome! Too lovely! 🙏❤️👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽
Cheers thanks man! Super happy with the overall build now just keen to go for a fishing mission in it! 🎣🎣🤙💪
Awesome fit out guys. Looks great! I reckon that extra weight up the front of the boat will help with ride quality too. Enjoy
100%…we took it out for a morning fishing trip and was so much better! Appreciate you watching all the vids & supporting! 🤙
Love to see the whole process and how it’s done. The boat looks great mate.

Did you use anything like tefgel for the stainless screws into the ribs?
What aluminum were you using to frame out the storage and the bow deck area? T5 or T6 angle? Also what was the dimensions?
Hey mate what nav lights did u use? Thanks mate
What did you use to make the frame mate.
Thanks for watching the video mate. 🤙

Cool
Legend! 🤙
Is that aluminium
If it is are you welding it and how do you weld it
Hey mate, no welding for this project. All connections are done using stainless steel screws or bolts with teflon washers for separation.
what hull is this?
Washers under the screw heads?
