you should use one of these arc welders doit yourself.jpgread the instructions  ...... when the metal dont stick...you do this invite a few buddies overfor a few watch that ground make sure you wear your sunglasses if you have big hair, wet it down. then you and your drunk friends can argue who is the better welder get ready to set sail with your new homemade top. while you launch the boat your friends hold up a sign at the ramp while the other fisherman talk about your new top then you start to ... thats all there is to it..good luck | ||
