Power Boat Plans

has anyone built an aluminum boat before?

i am thnking of building my own aluminum john boat and using the propulsion from a jetski to power it, i was wondering if anyone had taken on a project like this and had a few pieces of advice to offer while i am still in the planning stages. the biggest concern i have right now involves the tunnel for the intake, should i use the original fiberglass from the jetski or build up a tunnel out of aluminum for it?

While I have not built a john boat of aluminum, I have built or fabricated a lot of other things. If this were my project, and as it is the scoop you are talking about, not the tunnel itself. Aluminum is one of the most expansive metals, and I do not see you being able to seal a fiberglass/aluminum interface with much promise of it holding long term.
I would fabricate or mold a new one of aluminum so it would have the same expansion rate as the metal around it. Electrolysis is not an issue, but I think the thermal expansion difference would be on the seals.

good luck on your project, sounds fun.

RadioControlled Boat $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A radiocontrolled boat is a boat controlled remotely with radio control equipment. Electric Sport boats are the most common type of boat amongst casual hobbyists. Speeds are far below 15 mph advertised speeds and run times are less than 10 minutes between recharge. They are often toy boats bought at Model shops and retail outlets and sometimes modified for better performance. Due to quiet running, low speeds and simplicity of electric sports boats their use is common and are widely accepted at local lakes and ponds which is not the case for internal combustion model boats. This has led to the growth of Fast electric. Scale boats are replicas of fullsize boats. They can be small enough to fit into your hand, or large, trailertransported models weighing hundreds of pounds. More often than not they are a miniaturized version of a prototype, built using plans and/or photos, although there are variants of the hobby that utilize freelance designs. Another offshoot of this hobby is radiocontrolled submarines. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Skipjack (Boat) $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The skipjack is a type of sailboat developed on the Chesapeake Bay for oyster dredging. It succeeded the bugeye as the chief oystering boat on the bay, and remains in service due to laws restricting the use of powerboats in the Maryland state oyster fishery. The skipjack is slooprigged, with a sharply raked mast and extremely long boom (typically the same length as the deck of the boat). The mainsail is ordinarily triangular, though gaff rigged examples were built. The jib is selftending and mounted on a bowsprit. This sail plan affords the power needed to pull the dredge, particularly in light winds, while at the same time minimizing the crew required to handle the boat.
