[QUOTE="MarsAngler40, post: 367646, member: 15281"] 8 foot by 16 foot isn't going to fold up into the shape of a boat hull. Wouldn't you just need a sheet that is 4 feet wide to make the floor and then separate side pieces welded to the floor. Have you measured out a 1648 at a dealer by welded piece? I would think you could measure each welded piece and then by the sizes to make them. No boat is one single sheet of aluminum and if you can break the project up into smaller sizes they may be easier to find. Central steel and wire - sells up to a 72 x 144 piece of 5052-H32, and that is about 130 pounds of material. [/QUOTE]
