This is the Mammoth breakdown, transport, and launch of my homemade backyard boat (yacht) build. Kaleidoscope. Volume #3. Before I started the build I put a lot of thought into it. I know most wonder why the desert? Well I drove the coast from Baja Mexico to Seattle looking for some property close to any water with sea access., to no avail. Mexico, too many import problems. Beach front in Calif. out of the question never get approval. Plus the salt in the air would contaminate my welding. A boat yard? Can't work the hours I would be working, and I'd have to hire yard workers, not working to my expectations. Then why the desert? If I have to truck it, once on the trailer doesn't make much difference how far.
When looking for a place to build, I would drive the course to the marina making sure there would be no obstacles. When designing the boat, it had to break down into pcs. I wanted to work with 20"x5" sheets of 5086 marine alloy aluminum to minimize the welding. I knew where I was going to make my sections before starting. I hope I've answered a few of your questions, Please watch, it's a long video but I tried to cover most of the process of my build. Thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribe.
