Hello from New Mexico

I hope I am doing this correctly. I have been following/reading your posts for the last few months. I have really enjoyed, and educated (I hope) myself with them. At the beginning of the summer I bought a 1988 bass buggy (pics coming as soon as I figure out how) for $1500. It is my first boat, I had no idea if the family would enjoy the lake...after a few minor repairs/removal of rotten furniture, we have spent almost every weekend at the lake. We could not get enough! So, I decided to rebuild the old girl. I will start a thread in the proper place (as soon as I figure out the whole picture thing. Anyhow, I have the deck removed and would like to extend the front of the boat out and am having trouble finding aluminum z bar. Any suggestions where to find the stuff?

Thanks
Am excited to show progress so far and have you guys follow my rebuild. I sure have enjoyed yours!
