Garvey Style Skiff Build Slideshow, Stuart, FL

- The Garvey Style skiff is one of the best uses of the standard sheets of plywood. The length is two sheets long and one sheet wide. Marine grade 3/8" Okoume plywood, 17 ounce fiberglass biaxial weave, and epoxy resin are the primary build materials. I sold my original Garvey style skiff shown at the beginning built by my father, and bought at cost when I graduated. I sold it to a friend just to get the money together to build this one and learn how to build a boat from my father...
This was my first boat, built under the supervision of my father at his place of work, Jim Smith Tournament Boats. I have to thank my father for giving me the love of the water, fishing, and boats, not to mention his guidance in building my new skiff. I also have to thank John Vance for allowing me build the boat at the shop, giving me quick access to any and all materials, tools, and equipment to make it possible. Given the time and cost, it isn't really cheaper than buying a hull like my Saltmarsh 1444 from a dedicated builder like Ankona...
ENJOY!!!
Nice tidy build.Great job !
Many thanks, and sorry for the delay! I am looking a building another in about a year or so and will definitely make it simpler, stronger and more functional, so probably even tidy'er! There are many ways to minimize corners, cuts and complicated transitions helping cut down on both wood and glassing work. The idea is to get this to the point of about 10 sheets of plywood that can be CNC'ed, 17oz cloth (biaxial one site, chop matt the other, and put together with minimal finish work. I will always prefer epoxy, generally speaking but, in the islands this one may have to be poly...
@@TillerMicroSkiffs Biax. Glass is excellent material to add strength , stiffness and efficiency to a build , both in economy of labor & material (and therefore) overall cost . I notice there seems to be more use of it these days. Things are always improving . Epoxy is the way I think.👍
I`m sure your next one will be even better. Great job !
Wow amzing no grzy up2 k
Thanks! Yeah old phone pics made it only the 2k resolution it has... didn't ever intend for it to be on the internet. Going to do another in about a year. So 4k or more, coming soon...
did u have plans for this build
In short, no. The boat at the beginning with the old 25hp was the first one my father built. I sort of patterned off that boat but, I am putting plans into ACAD to help design of the next one...
@@TillerMicroSkiffs that would help us newbees a lot if u share it plans, i find i can follow even ikea lol keep up the good work i guess it was 16 ft long as 2 sheets plywood and 4 ft across at transom the width of i sheet of plywood if you could describe how you got the flare at the middle to the bow ie curve even a quick paper sketch
@johnmurphy9172 No, but could get you something rough as I patterned it off the old boat. Basically, I used 3 stations I patterned off the old boat transom. The secret to the bow is to bend both sides at the same time to get it even. I think I have the sketch I had to provide the state to get it registered. I will redo the video with some graphics in the future. FYI, check with your state. If it is under 16 feet, no inspections are needed in FL on homemade boats...
