Well, for $1000 I think I'm just going to buy a new 12' aluminum boat, a new trolling motor, and battery. I even believe I can get the...
I've been looking for a really cheap way to make a fishable boat to justify doing it. I could just buy a 12 foot aluminum jon boat from Bass Pro...
I've already seen those boat plans. You have to pay for them. Some other members sent me some links to free plans though. My creeks are Tygart...
What about just building a plywood boat and coating the whole thing in this? Will this waterproof a boat if nothing else was done?...
That link just took me to a page decribing the characteristics of fluids. I didn't see any boat plans.
Where do most boat builders buy plywood? All I have available to me are Lowe's and Home Depot and a couple of local hardware stores, all selling...
It's probably all imported from China. Does this mean anything specific? Seems I heard something about avoiding Sheetrock made in China but not...
I just left Lowe's where I had been doing some very unscientific testing on different ply woods they have, as well as some various pine wood...
I considered an inflatable, either a pontoon or just a raft. But where I fish, sometimes there are lots of snags and sharp objects that I fear...
Ok, I understand encapsulated to mean being completely surrounded, as in both inside and outside. I was thinking of applying it to the outside...
EUREKA!!! What about spray on or roll on truck bed liner? Or rubberized undercoating, as used on automobiles, for a hull sealant? Would this...
I watched the video Gary posted on YouTube of his little boat in action. He was able to verify 3-4 miles per hour using an iPhone and a GPS app....
I'm somewhat confused about the paint over a home sealant part. Sealant goes on first, then paint?
I'm building my first wooden boat. It will be very simply made, nothing fancy at all, modeled after a Jon boat in style. Most might even say it's...
I'm a home improvements contractor with extensive experience in multiple areas, including electrical, plumbing, carpentry, roofing, painting, trim...
Gary I watched your videos and I definitely want to build a boat like that. I love that it's "dry as a popcorn fart" inside. Exactly what I want....
Mr. Efficiency, if this is right, then my first fear with 1/4 ply would be more founded. I suppose I might make the area where my feet sit a bit...
Gary, I had that same thought on plywood being supported by water. It's funny but the more I read here the more I realize my understanding of...
That is awesome. Can you tell me more about that boat, like what's the wooden tab sticking up in the rear corner for? How long and wide is it?...
Is there a boat design that will allow me to sit at the rear and run the motor without having to worry about flipping it or swamping the rear?...
