Hi, CNC steel boats have been around for quite some time ! Cheers, Mark
I suspect you can't get the torque that you really want from an outboard. If it's a motor boat I'd be looking to make sure it motors well. With a...
I would suggest you rethink your idea of an outboard. An inboard diesel will give much better service. Cheers, Mark
Hi, Don't under estimate the effort level for sandblasting and paint. If you can build inside and get wheel abraded steel go with that ! Cheers, Mark
Hi Allan, Old thread, Phil might not be online here anymore. I'm pretty sure he just used a regular alternator - I think this was before PM...
Hi, We were in the same position of wanting a traditional hull but with steel as the building material. Murielle ended up designing our boat...

Hi David, Your project is very similar to our boat building project, except our is based on a Brittany Tuna fishing boat. I would like to...
Hi IanH, Are you sure you can't find existing plans that will meet your requirements ? If there is something close you might be best working with...
Hi Tony, The real advantage of having the boat done in CAD is that it allows direct cut to build without lofting on a floor. If you have the...
Hi Jon, If you can buy a similar boat to what you plan to build you will probably do much better. There are many used boats on the market and if...
Living beside the build saves so much time & added security for tooling. You don't really need help for a 50' boat in steel. My wife built ours...
No problem building and registering a boat in Canada. Our steel is very high quality compared to what you will probably find overseas. Why not...
LiFePO4/LiFeMnPO4 Batteries have a big chunk of the marine sector. Lots of people using them, they are more stable than the more power dense...
The inclining test involves ballast (friends), a plumb bob, bucket of viscous liquid to dampen plum bob (dish soap I've read is handy) and beer....
