[QUOTE="amk, post: 385080, member: 13232"] I had my first one built its welded you can see it in my signature at the bottom. I've ran into banks, trees, rocks, and sand bars the boat is holding up as well as any alumina craft hull would maybe better since more of its welded now. Some jet skis come with metal pump tunnels if you get one of those you can just cut the hole for the pump intake and discharge and then using a metal brake bend some thicker sheet aluminum into mounting brackets for the motor and either have them welded or bolted in that way you don't have to cut the bottom to glue in a jet ski hull and all that mess. If you can do a lot yourself you can easily pick up a used Yamaha 701 or 760 that come with metal tunnels for about $1000 in working condition that will have everything you need motor, controls, pump, carbs, fuel lines, etc. all you need is a hull.
