Step 4Don't Design It, Just Build It
Eventually I remembered that I could build stuff without designing it first.
So I filled my MP3 player with lectures from the London School of Economics, put on my Jackhammer Headphones, and just started welding stuff around the front of the boat.
I had a good collection of junked bikes and broken IKEA chairs to cut metal from.
I used my spoolgun powered by the Solar Golf Cart to do the welding. I ran the spoolgun on 18 volts for the thin stuff and 24 volts for the thick stuff. I used .030" flux core wire. I did the tack welds with the frame on the boat to get the fit right. Then I pulled the frame off to complete the welds so I wouldn't burn the boat.
