This is from the brochure. Bad design either way. And is coming out!

OOps, I was looking at the Bandit.

Yeah, bad design.

Worked through some designs for layout. Settled on my ‘moonshot’ build.

Went to get aluminum yesterday. My previous build was all 1.5x1/16 I got in the ‘used’ section at a local recycler. Worked out amazing and was not expensive. Well. The source is dried up. Last yeear was my first time using that yard, and they had bunches of the 1.5. Apparently talking to the guy that was the first time in 30 years he had seen that stuff around. If I only knew then I’d need a couple hundred more feet of it. Smh

Oh well. The search continues I’ll have to use a different medium that I can find at a similar price point hopefully.

Im using a mix of 1 1/4" and 1" 1/8" thick aluminum from Ace.

It is not cheap but it is readily available and cheaper than what I found through on line metal stores.
 
I ended up finding aluminum online in bulk 4’ sections under $2 a foot. And some random sections at the scrap yard.

Had a 2 week time line to a fishing day with a buddy so got the front deck finished first so it is fishable. need to secure it down but it is doable today.

Just one section of carpet to finish under the seats. But will have to wait for warmer temps
