The wife and myself took my boat out for the first time this year, caught a bunch of bluegills( to eat) and bass (released). Take your time on these projects, it’s a lot of work that needs to be done step by step.

Next time you visit Depot or Lowes, look in the paint aisle for the 5 gallon buckets. They have lids that are watertight, that unscrew, they're called Gamma lids. They are bigger than the hatches you found, and watertight, you'd have to put the bottom part of the lid in the hatch, but if you wanted to go that way, that's an option you might want to consider. Love the project, thanks for sharing.

Hello Wayne, Was just thinking about your boat deck & floors. Back in the olden days before modern non skid. We would apply a coat of resin & sprinkle coarse sugar on the surface before it dried. Then rinse it off after it dried/set up. The sugar would melt , leaving tiny craters where it was. It provided a great non skid surface that was the same color as the rest of the hull. Maybe do some experimenting.. Just a thought..

That's wild! I do need to consider my options for making the floor safe.

Hi Wayne, John from class here, another great video - the wood grain on your outer hull looks so good that I feel it would be a sin to paint-my thoughts recently have been that we built wood boats for their beauty- and to show the wood. I’ve been on the fence a bit, but will likely varnish the interior and paint outside. Maybe your boat would benefit from the opposite?

It does look good on the outside but I feel that in the long run I’ll be better off with it painted… but I haven’t committed to anything yet.

The bow hatch There's a cheeky way, and save on matterals Cut the hole out, and use the center of the whole to make the hatch, just gotta put something around the bottom of the whole to catch the center hatch

Hello Wayne, The boat looks great. I would install the oar locks because it would provide a couple of points to install fishing rod holders without scratching up the sides of the boat with clamp on rod holders . Scotty makes a nice one that fits the oar lock socket. I wouldn’t cut a hole in the deck because upon opening through gravity they always allow water & dirt in the hull . Instead I would install a hatch on the vertical bulkhead. You could safely cut a larger access for safety equipment & gear. It’ll be better protected from water & dirt that you’ll track on while boarding & you’ll be able to easily vacuum it out & inspect the area in the future. Thank you for the update. Have a safe & relaxing Memorial Day 🇺🇸weekend.

Yeah I hadn't considered cutting an access door in the bulkhead but that makes a lot more sense especially since I do not intend to install a mast. Thanks!
@Valco4583 ай бұрын
@@WayneTheBoatGuy That would retain a more classic look on the boat & you could actually just frame around the opening , leaving it open. Just cut the hole several inches above the deck to provide a bulkhead. It’ll provide a nice clean place for lines, boat fenders, life vests & such. Open air will prevent mold & mildew..
