Bill of Materials (BoM)

24‑Foot Trailerable Welded‑Aluminum Winter Fishing Boat (San Juan Islands, WA)

Revision date: December 29, 2025
Currency: USD
Print setup: US Letter (Landscape), 1‑inch margins

Scope

This BoM is a procurement-oriented baseline for a welded-aluminum, trailerable (~24 ft LOA) fishing boat with an enclosed cabin, diesel cabin heat, porta potty, small sink, single-burner stove, and an open cockpit sized for a fish-cleaning table and coolers. Major components are priced as “street” examples or budget allowances.

Important pricing notes

  • Prices are snapshots from the listed URLs and can change quickly (shipping, taxes, options, and dealer rigging not included).
  • Aluminum quantities and scantlings are placeholders pending finalized hull geometry, stability, and structural design.
  • “Allowance” line items are budget placeholders when published pricing varies widely or is quotation-based.

How to adapt this BoM

  1. Finalize principal dimensions (beam ≤ 8’6” for trailering), weight targets, and power selection, then update outboard choice and trailer capacity.
  2. Freeze hull plating schedule (bottom/sides/deck/cabin) and framing scheme; regenerate CNC nests and update sheet counts and extrusion takeoff.
  3. Convert allowances into real parts: wiring gauge schedule, switch panels, electronics suite, and fishing outfitting.
  4. Run a corrosion-control review: isolate stainless from aluminum, define bonding strategy, and select sacrificial anodes.
