Making cratch cover steel

[Ben Johnson]

Hi, soo like most peoples boats the front of the boat has a plastic tent like cover.

My boats only 35 foot and the plan is to have a toilet and sink in the front, i tried making it with Marine ply and just made a mess, (First time using my dads jig-saw) so im going to get someone to make it with steel.
Has anyone done this and know does anyone who can do this kind of work? How much do you think it would cost?

Remember to take account of the extra weight of the steel that will be used.

 

My daughter used to live on a boat like thing that had been extended with steel at one end. Even building a concrete seat at the other end didn't get it to sit level again.

The Op is not talking about extending their boat. Just having a steel frame added. A different prospect I would say.

But don't forget you will have restricted head room. Wooden cratch's tend to have a 6" lift to increase head room.
