[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 251816, member: 6657"] You own an aluminum boat, might as well have the tools get the experience of working with aluminum. Aluminum isn't that expensive if you buy it at a scrap/salvage yard. Aluminum lasts many times longer than wood and is a fraction of the weight, this is a huge benefit when modding a small tinny. Lumber weight can add up quickly and is deducted from the maximum capacity rating for the boat. Using aluminum makes for a much more professional job... using lumber, not so much. there's a reason why the pros and manufactures use aluminum. [/QUOTE]
