Thank you for the response and I have made some progress with my concept and Line-X approach. I had to adjust my desired boat length from 14ft to...
Thank you for your comment but part of this experience is to do something that no one else has tried. That is part of the fun. This is not just...
I agree, once I verify the weight, I may make the decision to make it a 12ft boat to be closer to my target weight or I may make it a two piece...
I also am planning to put 2 V shaped ribs running approximately 10 feet long equally spaced from the center which will provide stiffness and help...
First let me say the boat is going to be Line-X, not used as an abrasion coating and yes I will need to do something to gain stiffness across the...
So my plan is going to start by taking blocks of pink foam board covered with boat heat shrink as a release film covered with polish. Spray...
As you stated the final goal is a unique shape and weight savings. If I can't end up with a boat that is less than an aluninum rowboat, what's...
I would rather not go into details but let's just say you have the same stiffness issues across broad spans similar to composites.
What you mostly see on line when looking up LineX is a coating placed over things for various purposes. Most well known is as a sprayed in truck...
I have been doing some more thinking about this project and I think for purposes of wanting to travel a road no one has done before and the...
I guess where my head was at with the flatter bottom is for general stability when fishing they have a tendency not to rock side to side, where as...
Wow, I'm not sure which I'm more impressed with, the small boat you made or how fast you wrote all that after my post. My plan is to just use...
Hello all, Finally got a chance to complete my foam mockup of my design concept. Foam is a little rough to save time but it clearly shows what...
I did see some of those and they are pretty awesome. Yes I kinda have that as my backup plan if the overall boat weight turns out to be too...
Now that is some serious number crunching but I completely get where your going. I just haven't had access or researched enough yet to do the...
