So he says... I would be more convinced if he was not using every "boat
post" to troll the group. But either way, I am almost ready to start my
newest boat, just started buying wood last night. It's a 16 foot Whaler
in plywood, loosely designed to mimic a classic 13 foot Boston Whaler
Hull. Amazingly the hull will cost a dollar a pound and it will weigh
just about 500 pounds (plus tax...

Unlike my Camper design this hull is not dependent on the weight of the
wood so I will build it of exterior plywood and doug fir. It will be a
self jigging boat, if I was at my shop I could knock it off in a week...
but we will see how I do with the neighbors and how much flack I get
from the town...

Cool, keep us posted. Are the sketch plans online anywhere?


Here, check this out.

It is not supposed to be a huge "development" in hulls except that it
is a somewhat complex hull that can be self jigged and built in about
30-40 man hours, for less than 500 bucks. When it's done it will weigh
less than 500 pounds and be 16 feet by 6 1/2.

I was really looking to create a planing hull that would take little
gas, and be as dry as a low sided boat can possibly be at speed. It is a
protected water boat as are most of my designs, meant for partying and
playing on the river or lake, fishing, sunning, and just hangin' out...
