Re: Advice on a boat build And I think the point duckhunterf250 was making was no matter how many cross braces you have you're still gonna get dents if you run stumps, well everyone but you I guess

Re: Advice on a boat build You must be running over logs and not stumps.
A 1/8 bottom won't last most folks around here but a season or 2. I can ruin one in one season.

Re: Advice on a boat build I got a quote for materials today:
1/8"x8'x20' 5056: $2300+ freight
Bracing: $300
Sub floor: $500
How can a custom built 20' boat cost $3200??

Re: Advice on a boat build Yes technically the front deck is cross bracing but you need more than that in a 20 foot boat. I have three and the deck and wouldn't have minded a fourth

Re: Advice on a boat build Clay, I see you have started a thread. Listen to these boys, keep it 3/16" bottom.
