Hull and keel fabrication

Aluminum sheets, typically 1/16 to 3/8" (2 to 10 mm) thick, are cut to the desired size often using a template. The parts are then rolled for shape, clamped together and welded to form the hull and keel.
System: Powermax30 or 45

Frame fabrication

Structural aluminum in the form of I-beams, C-channel, and square tubing, with wall thickness of 1/8 to 1/4” (3 to 6 mm), are cut to the required lengths.
System: Powermax45 or 1000

Component fabrication

A variety of shapes are cut from 1/16 to 3/16" (2 to 5 mm) thick aluminum for the fabrication of consoles, seats, tanks, floor and wall panels.
System: Powermax30 or 45

Motor plate fabrication

Motor mount plates are cut from 1/4 to 1/2" (6 to 12 mm) thick aluminum then welded in place.
System: Powermax45 or 1000

Vent and piping installation

Vent and pipe installation holes are cut in aluminum parts, typically 1/8 to 3/16" (3 to 5 mm) thick, often using templates.
System: Powermax30 or 45
