That was rusty, this is some of my slicked on stuff after I got my steady hand back. (Tripod stand I built)

I cut a slot lengthwise in 1” pipe with a circular saw for my cap rail and welded it in place. Lots of long welds on the chine edge and the cap rail. Plenty of time under the hood during this project.

Looks awesome! Fine work right there.
What welder setup are you using?

I have a Lincoln Square Wave Tig 200. It’s an inverter machine. Wished I would have had a nice mig setup though for the long runs.

I was going to say I bet those runs sucked. But at least you know it will be one heck of a boat!!

Can't wait to see the progress.....

Rebuilt one very similar a few years ago but removed the tower and went with a grab bar with tiller drive. Extremely fun little sled just didn't have the time to two boats and sold it.
