I'm pretty sure that was completed on fumes. Lots and lots of fumes.

you could just by polyethylene sheet and make a plastic "stripper" boat.

Shawn how are you doing the welding over the long seams? Special tool or trick ... tips?
I'm interested due too:
1. Prelude is worn thin and breaking under the seat and I need a bigger weld / patch on it. The # of patches to date seem to be just temp.
2. Have Burn that was cut up I have interest in getting Frank'n on it to create a mini OC for my daughter.
Where you getting all the plastic too. you seem to have access to a lot of doa craft.

Ahhh secrets secrets lol.
The long seams are all about patience and technique.
If u make it to town in July I'll show you what i do.
As for the DOA crafts, when you are ThE guy around that does the bomb proof welding boats just show up in trade sometimes
I also will pay cash depending on condition.
You are thinking the same as me on the little boat. I want to build one for my daughter as well.
Next project i will set up the gopro and get video of the process. Alot of it is raelly just 6 years of welding a hundred plus boats.
