An 18' All Welded Aluminum Boat is having trouble getting out of the water on take off and it sits too low in the water when stopped. The boat has a heavy motor on a jack plate. The sides of the boat are only 20". The solution is to extend the back of the aluminum boat to give the boat more flotation. Watch the boat builder (Warren Rockwell in Chalmette, LA) as he first explains his plans to extend the boat in part 1 of this topic. In Part 2, Warren will demonstrate how he expands out the Aluminum boat.
