I worked in a boat factory, pure fiber-glass , i advice you to fill the pipes with floating foam made with 2 halves of chemicals, it exerts much more floatability as boat denies to sink hah!

Now I no I watched and commented cause we talked on it. Guess KZfaq deleded mine. But again love the build can't weight till I make one. Been following you almost a year now and live your videos. Fixen to go watch the last of your new boat build can't weight to see you using that wish I could afford to build my own small boat. But great job on your first video again. God bless

So i started watching you because i was looking at building a lil pond runner. Got a bit addicted to watching your vids, but now i'm interested what would you change about the boat. One thing i see is connecting the front end of the pvc together so they don't spin, and how well are the parts hanging in i can see you have changed out the wood at least once from the missing spray paint. keep it up you got a great channel.

Hi mate, I just built one of these and I’m looking at electric motor for it...is there a couple of motors you’d suggest? Based on weight, power, ease of control, etc that’d be great (i.e. is a Minn Kota Maxxum 80lb too much?) Btw love your channel, went through it all and can’t wait for your next vid!

Hey mate, brilliant video mate.... Just a couple of quick questions if you wouldn't mind answering Do you know what your buoyancy would be using the PVC pipe and what your water displacement is like when fully loaded? What is the total length and width of the boat? Cheers Damo

@FishingWithTimmyTurtle 7 жыл бұрын

know idea about buoyancy or displacement never bothered to work it out. it is 3 metres in length and 1.2m wide

Just from the displacement of the pvc pipes it is about 280kg of bouyancy
