super simple long puddle duck?

thank you mr messabout.

tonight a friend and i putt together the hull .. on a 20 .foot displacement hull of mr lewis design .

at twenty feet she sure is long.
6.3 mph i think will be ok.

i used 2x10s and 3/4 ply on the bottom.. was surprised that it would bend that much.
but it did.
she twenty inches tall twenty feet long . rockers are five feet in length on both ends.
10" rise.
i will - try to post a picture .. but im not very computer savvy.

so far ? it really has been a super simple build . i've never built anything even remotely close to this.

two 2x10s .. two stringers to hold em up .. nail on the bottom ... and .lots of PL premium. glue.

hello outlaw... i have not had any time to do anything except run herbicides.
someday i'll get home and finnish it.. my plan now is to make her six foot wide 15 foot long.

the bottom half ofthe hull was easy to do. went together really quick.
hopefully ill have her finished late summer.

 

good to hear. are you going to leave the bottom at 4' then widen to 6' and cut down to 15' long? I did a model at 4' wide on bottom then came up 6" then out to 6' wide then up 2' straight but went with a pointed bow last 4' and brought the bow up at about 6" from base line. it's 18' long. it will look like a steam freighter with a pilot house.
goggle up TIMS boat and you will see what I kind of copied after. It's in Duckworks post when you bring it up.

kind of gives you an idea of the shape. the slant sides at the bottom gives you a no trip bottom and a better ride. I can take pic's and e-mail you or text if you have cell phone. let me know.

had to put in the dot's to keep the I in place

 

agreed.. I'm still messing around with it. trying to widen it out to 6 foot.
and leave the rocker aft in.
life and work keep getting in the way.. but I'll git r done . someday.

 

I'm just going with a rockered boat for now.
thinking a small top .. shanty boat style...
even entertaining the ideal of a center console. in the middle.?
lots of possibilities...

 

looks good so far. good luck.
