Hi All, A friend of mine built this for me out of scrap 5mm plate leftover from a fullsize boat. It is a copy of a Leeder. I dont alum weld myself which is a shame because I would have overlapped the plate to make chines and also a keel,the top deck I would have curved not flat plus a 5mm overlap.I dont know if i will proceed with this build. cheers
