Sheet aluminum source?

I am debating building a boat, well more like making a 40" jon boat 72" wide at the bottom. I have a 4'x10' sheet of .90" aluminum, but I need another 4'x5' for the bottom, and an 20"x8' sheet for the transom.

To the naysayers, I've had some quotes on the boat I want, 15'x 6' all were in the 7500$ and up for just a bare boat. I have a donor boat, half of the sheet metal needed, and the skills and tools to do the job. I have yet to see a 6' wide jon boat any where, thought about converting an air boat hull, but all of those are fiberglass that I've found. Basically I'm to cheap to spend more than a decent truck costs for a jon boat.

My reason for wanting a wide boat is I have zero balance and jon boats tend to throw me off of them. Durn things are like a bucking bull.

Anyway, does anyone know of a source for sheet aluminum?
