I'm a blacksmith (not ferrier) and welder, and have the equipment I would need to weld aluminum. I just disagree. The plywood epoxy sandwich is...
OK, so after cruising the Bateau site, I found the XF20. I enjoyed the design so much, that I abandoned my desire to 'design' my own, and bought...
Yeah, when we go out now, there are times where it's questionable if it's even water. more like a mud slurry. (Currently go out in a 14/36...
I spent over an hour on this site last night, that 18' skiff looks miiiiiighty interesting... thanks again for this reference
Ok, I just looked that up, that's almost what I had in mind when I said V, only better:) Could be up to six (4 adults 2 children) but I would...
Ha, it would appear so, but no. I couldn't get the balsa to bend at all so I had to cut and tape. I really am considering a modified V on the...
Thanks, I'll check it out. My reasoning for the 1/2 inch is because this will be going in flooded timber and super shallow (mud)ish water. I was...

If I misjudged the sentiment, i apologize. Keeping in mind, it's a modified flatbottom skiff hybrid (best thing I can think to call it) ... The...
Awesome! Thanks for the share, I just can't watch enough of these builds.
I am working on the details, pics of the scaled model I've made... but the long and short, this is going to be a hybrid Fish/Duck boat. The...
I will, thanks!
Strength is a huge consideration (as well as trying to keep it as light as possible) I had no considered the pure strength would be greater. Thank...
Thanks!!
actually, i'm spending 7k on the motor, and my desire is to make the strongest boat I can as it will face some abuse here in North Texas. What I...
I might name my next kid Phil! This is great material to think about. Thank you
Howdy folks! I've read a bazillion threads (or maybe 30) on the Exterior Grade Plywood vs Marine Grade Plywood. I've searched all over, and...
