Building pontoons
Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2019 6:41 pm
Hello Everyone,
I'm a welder fabricator and I'm think about building pontoons to sell for people who want to put together their own boat. The end caps seems to usually be dome shaped, likely pressed out from a die set. It would be out of my budget to get a set of dies built to start out. I was wondering how much the domed shape effects performance. Would a flat end cap loose performance or is it more of an aesthetics thing? Also if anyone has any tips on building the nose cones (or even better a template) that would be great! Thanks
