I decided to build my own boat ad have a few tech questions.

I am going with an 18X48 with 2X2 longtitude braces.

I don't know what the difference is. I am thinking Jon boat here. Seems like it would be easier to just put 18' of aluminum on my rails and curve the last 4-6 feet up in a rake. No trees here to worry about squeezing thru so I don't need a pointed front end. I'm also open to suggestions. TIA

Cowboy thought- a thong on a woman is like a barbed wire fence. It protects the property but doesnt obstruct the view.
