16 foot welded aluminum boat build

Ничего себе сколько много времени и труда в основном у сварщика. Сварщики вы молодцы

[@EM-hu2bj]

I spent about 120 hours on it, and I had a helper for pulling the hull together and bending on the strakes, plus a few other parts. Probably around 30-40 hours of welding.

[@runingblackbear]

Nice job on your build of that boat

[@gradybrowning3976]

Lot of time put into the boat, looks like a quality build.

[@EM-hu2bj]

Thanks!

[@EricStrebel]

Interesting to see this built, well done. I am curious, why is the floor so high? and that space under the floor not used for storage? Just seems like the center of gravity is a bit high on this. But perhaps there is a reason for this..or this boat has a specific function that I am not aware of.

[@theferalife6452]

That's pretty incredible, dude - as a lifetime boatman, I'd be damned proud of myself if I burned all the wire to put something like that on the water someday!

[@bradlywright5189]

I saw so much opportunity for storage before the floor went in, I want one!!

[@jimquantic]

Thank you, love it. For me, ideal would be higher rails--and I would love to see it on a dual axle trailer, why? Not weight bearing so much, yeah, I get this is more than enough. But with a dual, you can carry extra things in the boat without thinking about it--AND, when you have a high speed blow out, and it can happen, even with the tires maintained, you have an extra level of safety. Again, ideal world.

[@EM-hu2bj]

Thanks! Higher rails are definitely an option. Tandem axles are nice, but this rig will be going about 2km from the launch ramp to storage twice a year, on a rural road with a 60kmh speed limit, so no high speed blowouts for this one :)) Cheers!

[@jimquantic]

@@EM-hu2bj I hear that, you if you can get 90 percent plus of your needs, you are great. I just always think about ideal designs, IF one starts hitting the open road, maybe to camp and fish, dual trailers can't be beat. Mine is on a single too, and I keep tires in top condition, and a spare; still in that ideal world I would take a dual any day. Fantastic boat, thanks for posting--and you can't beat that engine.

[@boikebeagle]

@@jimquanticI’ve been towing a single axle boat trailer for 18 years and not had a blowout. 2200 kms return trip from Australind to Shark Bay annually, we change bearings regularly, trailers been serviced and fixed as required

[@jimquantic]

and I for forty years, and I too have not had a blow out. That said--and in line with boating in general a "back-up" for everything is a good idea. I carry a kicker engine--and needed it only ONCE in all these years, but still "best practice". SECOND is weight bearing, you simply have way more with a dual. @@boikebeagle

Fab work tops. I did not catch the flotation foam install. Test drive cold enough for coats, but not 1 pfd? No other saftey gear on board? A 16' should have seating middle and back for rough sea. Either too cool or too something going on.

[@EM-hu2bj]

Thanks! If you look closely you’ll see I’m wearing an inflatable PFD, and the owner and his son had theirs tucked under the bow. Radio, oars, lines etc were on board, and we stayed in the bay. Not too cool for safety here. Boat was built to the owners specification, with two back corner seats, bow locker seat, and a seat in front of the console. Hull is double welded and pressure tested, but no foam by request.

I think this one was about 120 hours. I just had a spoolmate 3035, and I drilled the tips out for 3/64 wire, which worked just fine with a millermatic 210. Now I’ve got a Lincoln powermig 350 mp with a Miller XRA push pull, and a 360 mp with the Lincoln magnum pro AL push pull. The pulse migs are amazing, but the old Miller got the job done just fine.

hi would like some detail on the wooden base under the boat ,thanks

[@EM-hu2bj]

The wood base is actually the pallet that the aluminum came on. With the centre beam knocked out the hull sits nicely in it, and it helps to keep it stable. I have found it’s possible to clamp opposing sides fore and aft down to the frame to straighten out a minor twist. I’m currently building a heavy aluminum jig for then next boat I’m doing.

[@domingosantana7674]

[@406ba]

Nice sturdy boat. But for me, the center console needs to be moved forward 12-18" to obtain a better balance point.

[@EM-hu2bj]

We actually test launched it to double check the deck height, and had the console fabricated, but not yet installed, so we were able to move it around and find the perfect balance point for the console and operator.

How much will the cost of a boat cost?

[@kikijor1]

It seems to be normal to go to the next process after doing R.T and U.T after welding. However, there is no such process in this video. It seems that problems will arise later.

[@EM-hu2bj]

RT and UT are not generally done on small recreational vessels such as this. all hull seams are welded inside and out, and pressure tested for leaks.

[@weldcerts]

There is no need to go to that level of expense and time. After all, only the most critical pipe or structural welds are ever RT inspected and UT is only required on CJP connections. Other than that it's VT (Visual Testing) for almost all welded joints in both ferrous and non ferrous metals. This CWI thinks the OP is doing a fine job.
