Ok, you want some frekin' boats?
 

I am about to embark in another boat building project. I have decided
to do it here as opposed to wrecked.boats.builders for a couple of
reasons.
1 I am JustWait, I can do whatever I want;)
The builders group would probably be pretty bored with such a knock
down build.
I know there would probably be folks here who would appreciate
watching a backyard build.
and fourth, I am JustWait, I can do whatever I want.

Anyway. Step one is to order some goo, you really don't want to buy
this stuff a gallon at a time. I am going to go he
http://raka.com/EpoxyPricing.html
and order a standard 3 gallon kit and he
http://raka.com/FiberglassTape.html
for a 6 inch by 50 yard roll of 10 oz fiberglass tape for the edges
and butt joints.

Next I will go he
https://www.boatdesigns.com/products.asp?dept=294
and get three or four boxes of ringnails, for this boat I will use a
lot of 2inch and 1 1/2 inch nails.

I have no connection with these guys except I buy my material from
them.

Now for the wood. I will get 7 sheets of plywood for the hull.
4@1/2inch and 3@3/4inch. I will also need a bunch of standard framing
material. A 4x4 for the stem, 2@1x4 for the chinelogs, 2@2x6 for the
sheet clamp rails (gunnels) another 16 footer for the keel, and a 2x4
or two for floor rails and non-detailed interior framing.

I will keep you all posted and do pics so stick around. Anyone who
feels this does not belong here, please contact the forum moderator;)

Trolls will be ignored, although they can feel free to make idiots of
themselves climbing the curtains;)

Almost forgot, I will also be using a sheet of 6 oz fiberglass cloth
between the two sheets of plywood that will make up the Transom. I am
of the opinion that you don't glue wood to wood, you glue wood to
fiberglass, more on that later.

I'll look forward to this. I've ordered more than one set of various boat
plans and actually started a sailboat before I abandoned the project and
bought a store-made boat.
BTW did you receive JohnHs permission in advance to post this on topic
project.

plans and actually started a sailboat before I abandoned the project and

That's a big problem for folks. Especially those of us who have
attention problems;) Hundreds of thousands of folks have bought boat
plans over the years, maybe 3% ever complete the build if I were to
take a guess. In your case, the boat was probably more complicated
than you had the time, or inclination to finish.. There are many
partials to be had everywhere. This build is different in that with a
little attention, a decent carpenter could build one in a week or two,
for less than 500 bucks. It's not pretty, but anybody with high school
shop a skill saw and a backyard can build one in a few weeks..

And just to address another question posed in another thread. Why am I
not building a "nicer" boat. I will address that once, here, hope you
are all paying attention;)
Health, lack of proper facility, budget, time... in that order.

Thanks again for your time, Scotty

So, anyway, if anyone wants to build along.. Let me know.. You can
build this boat with basic shop tools. Saw, screwdrivers, hammers,
files, sanding block, a metal dog for bending over nails (chunk of
steel) and a bunch of buckets, and stuff... A couple of changes I
will make to the Brockway plans I will be using a
Better nails. The origionals were built with galvanized (or not)
shingle nails, I will be using bronze/silicone alloy ringshanked nails
(boat nails, anchor nails). The origional Brockway Skiffs were sealed
at the seams with roofing tar and had to be soaked before use to swell
the joints (or not, they were wet boats anyway). Commercial fishermen
carried tar and chunks of plywood and a handful of nails, in case of
hull breach while on the water fishing the rocks;) I will be using
epoxy resin and fiberglass material to seal and as an adhesive for
this project. Other than that, we will go pretty much by the book
until we fit the interior.

Next, the build in a nutshell

He can't. He's a mindless lemming following a narcissist and a Trekkie

Interesting how he included himself in my reference to the "two

Now stop replying to the three stooges and won't even see their pathetic

Well, I was hoping to see something built other than a plywood
sheet boat...
Then show us a picture of your Zimmerman clone.
snerk
Snerk this. Why do you lie about your life? That bad?
That should be completely obvious by now. Ignoring the pest and his
two minions will be the best thing we all can do.

Yeah...as if you have a semblance of self control.............


Don,
Do you have any self control? Why not prove these bozo's what are
real boater you are, and not get sucked into these silly threads. If
you do, people will think you come here to discuss boating not to get
sucked in by the trolls. Prove to them that you are above it.

He can't. He's a mindless lemming following a narcissist and a Trekkie
(warp17).

Interesting how he included himself in my reference to the "two
minions". He defined himself with ten meaningless words. Poor *******.

Now stop replying to the three stooges and won't even see their pathetic
trolls.


DK doing his usual here.

Ok, you want some frekin' boats?

Those are awesome boats. Saw a similar beast a couple of years back at
the mouth of the river. Light as hell, standing room inside, and
totally trailerable. Very nice boat. What kind of mileage do you get
at cruise? Were do you play?

Sorry, my mistake with previously stating it was 3L as that would be
135 HP.

I never heard of a 175 HP 4 cylinder Mercruiser but they must be
around.

I would have thought more, I mean that works out to close to one hp
per cubic inch. What with a carb, no EFI. On the other hand, 3 liter
is pretty big for a four. The boat only cost me two grand, so I can
afford a wee taste of gas, even at todays prices.

Thank you. All units are equally convenient when you have the

all the physical constants, and a bunch of equations. 226 cu in.

The correct answer is 225.78769 (3.7X61.0237). Wow. That's cool. My wife

pocket ref by Thomas Glover into my Christmas stocking one year. ;-)

I never heard of a 175 HP 4 cylinder Mercruiser but they must be
around.

With 226 CID It has the same size cylinders as a V-8 big block.
Given the power, a much more reasonable figure than 3.0 liter.
I never heard of it either, but that means nothing. Glad it isn't a
big block. Hell, the hull has room for two of those guzzlers. I plan
to get two of the most powerful trolling motors made, for cocktail
cruises and fishing. Couple of golf cart batteries. Beat the price of
gas. Let those of a much younger generation buy the gas if they want
to ski.

Part 1

OK, strategery;)

Well, paint, sort of.
First thing to remember when building a work skiff is paint can hide
anything. almost anything at all. If you mess up and it's not
structural, paint will solve your problems so don't sweat it. It's
only a workboat, if you mess up on one side, just make the other side
match, no one will ever know;)

Second is don't "paint your self into a corner". I quoted that as it
is not to be take literally, but more like the old saying. What I am
addressing here is the impulse to cut off, sand, shape, or otherwise
finish parts before absolutly necessary. If for instance you decide to
cut off the ends of the sides or bottom and round the corners, "just
so it looks like a boat", you will surely be sorry. Later in the build
you will either knick, spill paint on, gouge, that part and now you
will have to take it down further than you wanted to make it right.
Another problem with cutting off overhanging parts and such is they
often come in handy later in the build to clamp on, hold on to, attach
a windlass to square before fitting the bottom, pull in the gunnels in
a similar fashion, temporarly nail to.... I think you get the point.
Don't cut it off, or sand it, until the last possible opportunity if
you can help it. seems like a little thing, but it is probably the
most important quick tip I could give you for such a project.

Anyway, cutting, and taking pictures try to get them up asap.. Scotty

I am about to embark in another boat building project. I have decided
to do it here as opposed to wrecked.boats.builders for a couple of
reasons.
1 I am JustWait, I can do whatever I want;)
The builders group would probably be pretty bored with such a knock
down build.
I know there would probably be folks here who would appreciate
watching a backyard build.
and fourth, I am JustWait, I can do whatever I want.

Anyway. Step one is to order some goo, you really don't want to buy
this stuff a gallon at a time. I am going to go hehttp://raka.com/EpoxyPricing.html
and order a standard 3 gallon kit and hehttp://raka.com/FiberglassTape.html
for a 6 inch by 50 yard roll of 10 oz fiberglass tape for the edges
and butt joints.

Next I will go hehttps://www.boatdesigns.com/products.asp?dept=294
and get three or four boxes of ringnails, for this boat I will use a
lot of 2inch and 1 1/2 inch nails.

I have no connection with these guys except I buy my material from
them.

Now for the wood. I will get 7 sheets of plywood for the hull.
4@1/2inch and 3@3/4inch. I will also need a bunch of standard framing
material. A 4x4 for the stem, 2@1x4 for the chinelogs, 2@2x6 for the
sheet clamp rails (gunnels) another 16 footer for the keel, and a 2x4
or two for floor rails and non-detailed interior framing.

I will keep you all posted and do pics so stick around. Anyone who
feels this does not belong here, please contact the forum moderator;)

Trolls will be ignored, although they can feel free to make idiots of
themselves climbing the curtains;)
