i like this one a lot Jeff , it actually has nice Lines and it looks fairly simple to Construct because of the “Skinning” of the Plywood onto the frames

It looks like your website has been sold. Can your boat plans still be purchased?

With Jeff passing, I can no longer purchase these plans. The website is down. Does anyone have a copy to share with me? I can pay.

What is done about water intrusion? It looks like the hull would hold water between the frame members. Is the inside glassed and epoxied to preserve the wood. I’m extremely tempted to get these plans but I’m concerned about the damage the salt water and sea air will do in the long term.
@tjkid073 жыл бұрын
Water intrusion? Where might it intrude from? Salt water and sea air are NOT an issue with wooden or fiberglass boats. The only think they can affect are the metal parts, and if you use stainless, as I suggest, there you go. The worst thing is FRESH water, Mostly intrusion from rain. That will cause dry rot, which in not dry at all, and which salt water cannot cause. That is why I suggest that they be kept out of the rain (stored under a roof,) with plugs open and the tongue elevated. More in this video: spirainternational.com/vid_yes_09_Decks_Seats_Cabins.html Here's how I suggest you keep the insides treated: spirainternational.com/tipsandtricks/200601_finishing_the_insides.html

I'm sick of this pandemic. Hard to get anything where I live. I drove four hours round trip to purchase a wood stove. I been wanting an alweld brand boat going on almost two years. If your lucky enough you can get one in six to eight months . I've always liked wood boats just never found the time to build one I feel safer in a wooden boat. Thiers no marine plywood close to me. I'm thinking about exterior plywood. Then wrap it in fiberglass. I'm just curious at what it would cost to build one.

Appropriately how much do these boats weigh when finished. I know there can be a huge difference depending on customization and actual materials, but what is a range or lower limits?
@tjkid074 жыл бұрын
Go to the website and download the free study prints. On page 1 of those prints is the hull weight and maximum displacement.

Has anyone built the Matagorda yet? I've been thinking about it for a couple years now, but with a pilot house.
@tjkid077 жыл бұрын
Yes, I think a couple have been built, but I haven't seen any pictures yet. They usually take a long time to convince someone to send them.

skiffs are generally very stable, I've seen videos of people in skiffs on open sea although I'm not sure I'd be quite that brave

The reason I call these Garvey Dories, is because it has a Pacific Power Dory bottom under water: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/27/f7/e1/27f7e1a8c0dd23c7c2b24609937fa88b.jpg
