[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 430658, member: 18942"] Nice work on the boats you really finish them out well. I was going to ask about the same thing. Since all your boats are riveted old clunkers to start with seems like you spend a awful lot of time money and effort just to bring the hull up to snuff when it's still always going to be a thin riveted hull, not the best for jet boat beating. Surprised you haven't started with welded hull of some kind so you have a better base from the get go. Not bashing your builds at all you clearly have it down to a science on these jet ski jons. Just seems like with how much time, money, and work you put in them starting with a better sturdier hull would be worth it. Would cost more up front vs riveted hulls that you can pick up for cheap, but seems like it would be worth it. Anyways nice work cool boats makes me want to build one, but I have too many projects already. [/QUOTE]
