What did you do different from them for it to withstand the engine Joe?

You should post a video and drop a link. I would love to see it.

I've noticed that some videos have "NO MUSIC" in their titles. I guess we're not alone in our love of videos that lack distracting music.

Agreed i can watch without loud music

Agreed

@@williepierce3933 Hey Willie, just read your comment and thought... you're the kind of guy that likes to watch people make stuff! :) I just started building a Stand Up Paddle board out of plywood you might like to watch! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nraHnJSYy9e-e30.html Cheers, Aaron

Do you have pictures of your design

I usually build small things such as Clocks although I recently got onto the idea of building a boat as I want to live off-the-grid and self-sufficient. The two boats I would like is a bass boat and a small ocean boat. With your knowledge and expertise would it be cheaper to build a boat or buy one?

KYAfield

I would build this boat 15'8" & Glass the exterior - Wood boats got Aluminum boat beat on many points except durability - but if wood boat is keep under shed roof it will last many years - Good house latez paint does very well as well as MDO plywood or underlayment fur for bis savings over marine ply- the money saving on ply will pay for the epoxy - Great Video - Thanks...

Ps my plan style boat would be grate for duck hunter's and people who never seam to have enough room because ya forgot ya have a lot of 6ft 348 pound linemen in the family XD, fyi so thank on it and come up with your own ideas on how to improve this basic model. Just an inspire tip.....

Check out Spira International, several free plans. Excellant advise on materials and fasteners. Building my second Spira boat now. Lot of fun, and when your done, you can snicker when you see what your buddy’s boat payments are.

"Just an old plywood boat 75 Johnson electric choke" 🎶 🎵

4 years later did youu n your son do it ? I hope you did ! Spending time with sons is the best ! Let us know

I've heard all the advantages to using marine grade ply and all the problems with using exterior grade Yada yada yada... But I've yet to see a boat made exterior grade plywood fall apart quickly. I'm no purest so I enjoy comments from people like yourself! Thanks!

Iam doing that this year for my senior project how did yours work out

@@evandupuis6633 I’m tryna do it in 8th grade to go fishing 😂😂

randy beard I’m somewhat familiar with the Cache and cypress boats you may be able to use cypress sides at less than 1”if you can acquire it in your area. You are are on the right track. I learned so much about wooden boats and big duck gun from the old men around Thebes and now I are one haha.

KYAfield those that are negative about the project have missed the whole point, and beginners can build them with out to much trouble , I for one think it’s a very nice little boat and it will serve its purpose camping up river, fishing, hunting . It’s all round a very handy boat. Think I will build one myself .cheers.

interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover home boat building plans try Joolaim Rudder Replication (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.

@@fishmut you aren't going to get anywhere fast in it, it's basically a wooden box, just as easy to find a better plan with the same building system

@@colstace2560 Not just as easy. Anything that's not square is going to have compound angles and curves that make the job much harder. If you're a beginner, or you just want a boat fast, this is the hull for the job. I built one myself several years ago.

@@colstace2560 the point was to build a simple boat that anyone can build on the cheap. If you want a fast boat then don't build a Jon-boat as we call them around here. They are perfect for some pond fishing though. easily pushed around with oars or even just a trolling motor, and extremely stable which is what you want if you are fishing a small lake or a pond. I like it. I already have factory built canoes, kayaks, and aluminum V-bottom boats that are good for various purposes... this boat design is excellent for fishing or duck hunting on still waters. Also good for smaller kids to take out alone (on a pond with proper life jackets) since it is so stable. Personally I would angle out the front and put a layer of fiberglass on it (outside only) before adding the runners on the bottom, and painting it. I would also remove the original screws and put final screws from the outside in. No offense intended. I wasn't trying to lecture you, just addressing your concerns.

+Harry Paul Garcia UPDATE: Flat bottom boat build complete. I also wrapped 2 layers of fiberglass and epoxy on the outside. Inside, I added sterile sand in my lacquer seal to make it slip proof. I added gunnels to make it easy carry. My master piece boat build. Thanks for all your assistance. Now, I need a way to get my boat around. Pictures available if you wanna see my baby.

with the fiber and epoxy what would say she weights in at?

Agreed. Anyone know where there is a list of measurements and types of wood?

Ronald Reed Cost prohibits using new marine plywood. Afriend bought a boat made from chipboard , was sealed good and really ok Had a chev corvair engine and small aircraft prop.. chipboard held up ok because it had been taken care of.. He used it all for a pattern and built a new boat from recycled signboards from old US 66. ( hi grade marine plywood with Fiberglas) on one side . Save all f g scraps and used May work for you.them to seal sloppy fitting seams.

There are a wide variety of plywood products available that are suitable to boat building. Depends on what you need to get the results required. There are European marine and even aircraft grade plys with beautiful exotic top layers. Modern sheathings and coatings increase the longevity.

@@slackbomslack6212 the plywood looked like very standard construction plywood (though they reference it as marine grade) and those boards were poplar. I would not recommend poplar. I'd recommend white oak or even live oak unless you have some cedar on hand. I dont recommend a solid board for the side walls of the boat. I also dont recommend such a box sort of design. But then I have never built a boat. Have a dozen books on boat building and have worked wood 30 years but I'm yet to build my boat.

@@thornyturtleranch6152 LOL My friend this boat is Perfect for shallow bays, lagoons and swamps. It's just a plywood version of a flatboat. It's not made to cut through 5 ft seas miles offshore in the gulf!

Is the second sheet of plywood a half sheet?and what is the weight limit of this boat

@Robert, I clicked your channel to see what kind of video expert you are, and you only have one "video" that isn't even a video! LOL It's a slide show! haha With as many dislikes as likes. LOL The video you're criticizing has over 1.5 MILLION views, and over 5,200 likes. I think you have 4, if you don't let the dislikes cancel them. LOL And if you don't like my responding to your shit "video" and shit "comment", then you shouldn't comment on youtube. And for the record, I'm a decent carpenter, and I found this video interesting and fun to watch. So it has ALOT more value than anything you can produce.

It’s not rocket science is it ?

Robert I

Don’t have any videos up, probably should. Working on my second boat build. First was 16’ Dory and this one is 24’ Fishing Dory. Don’t have any negative comments either though. If everyone would build a boat, there would be less bickering on here. Great fun and the end result is valuable. Not to mention getting to tell everyone; “Yep I bulit this boat form the stem to stern.” The ladies smile and the guys turn green. Everyone should give it a go, you will like it. You learn a lot building a boat.

3/8 ply is not light. I have enough 1/2" in my garage to build a six foot FBB, the sheet weighs about 70 pounds.

Marine grade has no voids and better glue- - cheap-o ply thats painted or varnished will be just fine if you aren't gonna keep the boat in the water.

They can't build a boat either. They built a box.

You like to watch a couple of men work on their wood together.

yeah nice Jonboat.

I've got some wood skillz if you wanna take a look...

jk

Just funeral expenses

Looks like it's well under $200. Even if you were to put a finish on it

The best way is to coat it with marine grade epoxy and then paint with epoxy paint. Aft that it will last a lifetime. Using marine epoxy can pay for itself too, eliminates the need for marine plywood. A cabinet grade plywood makes a good “core” for your epoxy coating. Not hard to do and makes a very strong boat durable boat.

adam courville This is a simple boat with a simple purpose. No need to over engineer things. ll they need is good paint.

adam courville haha what ever I have built a boat stitch and glue fiberglassed and the whole lot, took me ages to build it because of the winter we had here at the time , the cost is expensive also doing it this way , my boat turned out great but a shit load of work, I like simplicity,this little boat they built is perfect if you look after things properly, paint is all that is needed and will last many many years so don’t fool your self.

It's a box, no shape at all, LoL it's a throw away boat, get 5 yrs and build another one
