Did you buy the kit that comes with materials or did you get the materials separate

My apologies for the delay in putting a complete build video together as well as running her! Life has thrown every curveball imaginable and some you wouldn’t want to. I ended up replacing the 15hp Evinrude 2-stroke with a new 20hp Tohatsu 4-stroke. With the additional weight of the outboard, 6-gallons of fuel, 20lbs of ice, two guys and gear she drafts only 3” and will cruise half throttle at 20mph all day long. Solo I had her to 29mph with throttle left. At that speed it felt like all that was in the water was the prop! Early July of this year I sold Skipjack to a guy in the DFW area. I just don’t have the space for two boats now that we have built a house on our property. We will publish a complete build video as well as some new content. I just got back to Texas from a week long trip to Florida with our camera guy chasing tarpon and snook as well as hanging out with and learning from Flip Pallot, Blane Chocklett, Brian Fletcher and a passel of other new friends and fishing partners. If you would like to see a video of our adventures and shenanigans, let me know! Until next time, all the best and God bless. ~Michael

Yes, just as a filler/backer to keep everything inline.

What was that black coating before you did the fairing? Those panels didn't seem to fit real good at the stem, was that the plans or maybe your cutting ? Not meaning to sound critical, sry. 👍😊

Speedy recovery! Great video. I haven’t pulled the trigger to buy this same plan. Any issues with the paper plans? Or your ideas to better this boat plan. Wanting to build a small skiff and exhausting the internet of different boat plans.

No issues at all with the plans and I did make a couple modifications but nothing too radical

It was graphite mixed with resin to increase its abrasion strength.

Alex Mendoza, thank you for commenting. When it is calm waters, it is awesome but when the wind picks up your body and the console becomes a sail making it very difficult to paddle against.
