What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

Don't know much about boats, but that looks great, keep us updated.

Excellent! Nice form, fit, and welding. Should be a blast to pilot.

I'll bet you'll have slightly more than $1/HP in that project... :lol:

Outside the weather's frightful but inside welding up a boat is so delightful, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. -60 with wind chill at Prudhoe Bay AK. Burr, will be cold for Santa getting out of the North Pole this year.

Steve. BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand. Guess I could put the 300hp in and that would make the $/hp ration better but the fuel cost would eat up the savings pretty quick. Would be mad fun though in the shallow rivers. :o

Will post more photos as I get further along.

When I had an old wood forty-footer years ago, we called it "a hole in the water surrounded by wood, into which you pour money".
