Hey, when I get into boating conversations here, you should probably
know my point of view. I do most of my boating on the Connecticut
River and surrounding areas. I am an avid fresh water fisherman,
stream fishing still rules but lazy fishing on this boat gets more and
more appealing as I get older I have had one bigger boat once for a
season (22 foot Colombian), but most of my boating is in smaller
boats. This one has had a couple of good seasons and has proven to be
a pretty good fishing boat, and a great family picnic boat. Enough of
that, here is a link

Have fun guys, hope you are all busy boating today, I will see you all
tomorrow on the water.

Oh, and keep the laughing to a dull roar.

Nice job. There's something really neat about utility boats.

Thanks for the images.

Just,
I am impressed with your woodworking skills, it looks like the kind of
boat you would see professional fisherman using in Mexico, I am very
curious what you did to prevent wood rot or plywood separation.

Well as to my skills, I can honestly say this is not a good example.
It was intentionally built cheap and fast, no fillers, no sanding
beyond function and safety. Anyway, as to wood rot, as much effort as
I do put into it consists of cheap paint and epoxy resin/cloth. Most
of the plywood seams were covered with epoxy and fiberglass tape, not
for structure, but for water exclusion. Exposed edges were filleted in
with thickened epoxy too. The paint was on sale at the oops rack at
HDepot and cost about 20 bucks. The hull is exterior plywood with Doug
Fir framing, the hardest part was bending the big 2x6s used for the
rails. Actually did this over a couple of weeks on the boat with a
spanish windlass and some water and sun. It was built in a couple of
weeks time with a budget of about 450 dollars including flotation.
This boat will rot in about 10 years if taken care of they have been
known to last longer but that's what you get for $450 and a $20 paint
job. Then you build another one.

Great boat for the CT river. It swims in about 4 inches of water fully
loaded and needs another foot to operate the smaller engines. 6 people
can sit on one side and it won't go over but with the flat sides and
little rake, it is a wet boat in any wind, but if you don't mind
water, it can take a lot of shi*** and still get you home.
