BUILDING MY NEW SKIFF
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2017
- This is a short video with some of the process while I was building my skiff. It took me a year to build the skiff and it is the first one I have ever built. I would like to build another since you learn a lot when you do something for the first time. The skiff does very well in the water but there are things that I would do differently the next time as with a lot of things in life. The skiff will run 42 mph GPS indicated speed. I also built the stainless steel trailer that I haul it on. Hope everyone enjoys the video as much as I have enjoyed my skiff. Until the next one, thanks for watching thumbs up if you like the video and subscribers welcome.
Great boat, great plan, excellent build. Great video, thanks for sharing
What a absolute cracking job 👏👏👏👏
Wow, the lines on this hull are glorious! great work
Looking forward to an On The Water video with a commentary on what you recommend for the rookies like me who are getting the itch to make a big commitment to a project like this. Thanks again for sharing. It looks amazing.
Nice work! Tight Lines n Good Fishing
✌️❤️😁
Work of art
❤️ that incorporated a full thru hull Kemal... May don’t do that and I believe they suffer in the long run without..
Beautiful!! I know what that took to build. Ground up .. sweet!
Very nice .Beautiful lines.
Thanks, learned a lot!!
Good job One of the nicest skiffs I’ve ever seen
Una construcción naval muy práctica, eficiente y resistente.
very nice
Complimenti Bellissima barca grand' lavoro fatto dà un grande uomo Grazie
that's a TANK !
andrew k. ennis Andy 42 mph gps.
nice build!
THANKS, first skiff, hope to build another soon with very different approach.
You inspire me great job
lv2mine lot of learning took place when I built the boat, lots of changes for the next build. Thanks for the comment.
Incredible! Thanks for posting. Any video of it on the water?
Sandy Strait not yet, I built it and have used the boat several times but not had anyone to video it.
That's a great looking job i love your work can you give more details I would love to build one just like your's I have looked at a lot and your's is the best
Thanks for sharing
Good day !! I thank you for you nice comment!! I am not sure that it is the best but I appreciate that. I literally built this skiff from intuition!! No plans or anything we’re used. I can tell you that whatever you have in mind as far as size goes , do the build proportions on 1/3rds. Meaning if you want 16’ long then make the width at least 5’ wide, so on and so on. Make you sides in proportion to the width, unless you just want some really tall sides for some reason. Totally flexible as far as more goes, but try to stay at or above .
Nice boat! 60 horse tiller, bet it runs!
42 MPH GPS
That is awesome Wyatt! very well done!
CNC4XR7 thanks Sam, first skiff so lot of things I would do differently next time.
hi everyone ,if anyone else needs to find out about wooden dinghy boat plans try Joolaim Rudder Replication (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
I truly appreciate that you built the boat from your mind. I want to build one and I'm glad that I was able to see this done. The only question i have is can I use any wood or what would you suggest that is affordable for the frames and ply-wood?
gvyberv I used pine boards and regularly 1/4” plywood then applied the two layers of fiberglass and then sprayed about 20 coats of gel coat on top inside and out.
GREAT SKIFF like the slight deadrise in the bow- couple of questions
Where in NC did you get the marine ply and how much per sheet and how much did the boat cost overall?
Secondly- where is the follow up video of the ride, draft, drive- stats on planning ect
I did not use any special materials to build this skiff. If you notice the plywood is just your ordinary run of the mill 1/4" pine variety. I looked for some Cypress to build the skiff but had little success in finding any that was affordable. I have not made any video of the boat in the water, I guess I have been a bit side tracked with my other passion, machining, to make one. The boat handles well, and considering the weight of the engine, batteries, and gas tank all being in the stern, it has a pretty decent sit to it in the water. I learned a lot of things building this first skiff, and there are many things I would do differently. as for plans there are none, I just built the boat. My great uncle was a boat builder and as a child I watched him many hours as I did my father as he did a lot of boat repairs. I grew up half on land and half on the water.....LOL!!
JAMES HOPKINS I was just going to ask the same question he did but luckily I decided to take the time to read the comments before I start typing away lol. But you answered the questions I was going to ask. How ever the one question I would love to ask you is would take the to do a recap video explaining what you did during the build and what would you do different please I would love a walk through on you home made boat because I would like to attempt building one my self
Is there any way you could draw the plans for this skiff? it seems a lot more first time friendly than other builds I've seen. awesome looking boat btw.
Good luck with that one Tyrone,it took me a month to find a free plan that suited what i wanted and didnt take steven hawking to figure out.the brockway skiff is what i ended up with.it is similar tp the boat in the vid.
Wow you’re skiff is beautiful. May I get some rough plans I would love to build one. I’m a Machinist as well
I have no plans, I just built the skiff as it came to me.
@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC I know the feeling mate. I started to build a 16ft dory that landed up being 19ft when I finally finished it ! Well done with your boat though from us down here in New Zealand.
@@johanvanderwouden6862 thanks for the kind comment. I really want to build another just have too many projects at the time!!
Very nice build and your glass work was done well. Very sturdy with heavy ribs and flooring, brass fittings below water line. Hope ya have years of fun with it. Question: being a glass over wood boat does a dent in the glass sandwich water and rot the wood ? thanks :)
MegaBait56 yes if the glad is fractured or punctured water can seep in and cause wood rot. Also just glass alone is not waterproof so keep in mind when glassing it is a good idea to seal wit gel coat that has wax in it. There are two layers of glass on this build inside and out, and I applied 30 layers of gel coat, the first 26 layers I applied with a medium mat roller and sanded between each layer. The last four layers I sprayed on applying each layer at flashing point to avoid sanding then let it cure for a week. Then I sanded, and blocked then buffed.
@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC , my "Down Easter boat" the " 8"x8" wood which is glassed over the motor mounts bolt to leaked in water under the S.S. Lag bolts 18 yrs. old. Now this winter i have to pull my diesel remove the 8"x8" wood and replace after i remove the whole deck :( the 8"x8" is like a sponge.......and i have soft spots in the deck too...........good boating............
MegaBait56 there is an epoxy you could dig out the wood and back fill, there is also one called wood rot repair, it’s a thin viscosity resin you pour in and the wood if dry absorbs it and solidifies, just some extra ideas. Good luck on your project. Also consider laminated robin woven to replace your wood.
@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC , thank you, i know about the filler epoxy which i have used in the past for smaller repairs but on the wood to support the motor i'm going to replace them with the laminate type. Don't want any twisting in the shaft or worse. The deck i'm going all synthetic with glass on top n bottom with a grit on the top. Sucks when i'm fishing and ya feel a soft spot under your feet. I have my boat now in a heated well made tent poking around all the fiber-glassed wood. The hull is totally thick glass as is most of the boat except for some support areas that are wood over glass. She's a single diesel down the middle that cruises in the low 20's knots and has been good to me. All hardware is bronze above n below the waterline. Thank you again..........
Me gustaría saber si se puede conseguir los planos de ese skiff boat? Esta bonito.
Good evening I'm sorry i missed your reply thanks for sharing i from your reply if i understand you said 1/3 method i got that can you tell me one thing how due i figure the side heights will this method I've never build a boat thank you for sharing your work and information
Yes, the 1/3 method applies to every thing. You can get the figures and use a thin cut of wood to illustrate the lay of the lines and make adjustments by eye to please your tastes. The beauty of building anything is that you can make it look like you want to!!
Good luck and happy building!!
Hello, greetings, congratulations, great project
Could you tell me where I can find the plans and boat measurements, thanks. Saludos desde Lima Peru.
There were no plans for this boat. I built it from scratch out of my head. The boat is 15 foot 6 inches and 42 inches wide on the bottom, total width is 48 inches across the stern. I learned quite a lot building this skiff. Think in thirds when building, 1/3 rd the length for width for example.
@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC Thanks for your answer, I will apply imagination and your video to build my boat. thanks for the advice.
beautiful boat friend. where do you get plans for boats? thanks
Thank you. I just built it as it came to me, no plans.
How long did the build take?nice boat 👍🏽
tattooartist13y the build mostly took a year of three days a week. But near the end I was forced to stop working on it and the boat sit in finished and I finally finished complete after 2 years.
Awesome sir would you like to share the size of the frame i will love to reproduce it for my school thesis good job
Pas Seaman 15 1/2 feet
I meant the vertical and floor frames progression, from the transom to the last V on the bow.. If it is possible mate will be awesome, thanks for answering
Pas Seaman Skiff is built of plywood, so when I laid the chime I just stopped the tempers at the widest point then let the natural bend of the wood determine the transition . Nothing on this skiff was steamed.
Also, the bee runs to the stern.
Bravo. What do u use for the coating/finish.
Ali Saleh it’s called “gel coating “ I sprayed 24 coats and then sanded and buffed!
Nice boat , looks a bit heavy ? , how's the boat holding up , did you do another boat since this build , I'm thinking of doing a stitch & glue build , but I want to make it wider and 14 to 16 ft long , have also thought about just using the stitch and glue as a mold and doing a fiberglass hull out of the mold and painting it instead of gelcoat , I have to find out about registration on a homemade boat hull yet ?
Dave Scheer no I have not built another boat yet, this boat is 15.5’ weight is comparable to its size. Boat is very solid and runs about 45 mph. Very smooth. Registration is not that hard to do, you have to apply for a title and then you can get your registration easily.
JAMES HOPKINS , I'm in Florida , does the boat need to get inspected by the state for flotation and motor capacity ? What would you have done different on your boat to make it better ?
Dave Scheer I didn’t get mine inspected. You could check into it, different states have different rules. My biggest change would be to have more V in the hull, then I would most likely use stringers instead of the cross beams,/lumbers.
Very nice. I'm sure you realized you need water drainage holes between the bays in the floor by now.
Tom Hutchins they are built in
Clearly seen at :53 and 1:18. Clips move quickly. Perhaps you didn't see.
Did you use a set of plans for this boat? I live in new Bern and just built a lys
Tyler Egan no plans, I just built it as it came, learned a lot.
Très beau travail bien soigné, les couples sont très solides.
Juste une question, quel est l'angle en degré que fait la quille avec l'étrave devant le bateau ? Merci.
Well, hope it was good!!! I’m not multi lingual!!!
Adn p14 Tevest looks like French, not multi lingual.
@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC
mots clé : étrave , quille, angle ? 45° ? , 65° ? Merci.
Adn p14 Tevest there are many angles on the boat. The transom has a 15* angle, the bottom should have been more than the 5* angle I used. The sides have about 10* on them but not over that due to the plywood construction. You just can’t twist plywood but so far
Shes a bit heavy... for the size... Have you seen a ""Tolman Skiff?.""
I think it's worth your looking at.
No I have not seen his skiff. I built this skiff just from my thoughts no plans or copying any style or make. It is not that heavy considering what is in it. Serves me quite well.
half inch plywood or quarter inch, which one is better ?
I used two laminated layer of 3/4” for the stern and 1/4” for everything else.
@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC thanks man 🥰
if you could be more detailed about making a boat and teach us how will be great .
Hey bud where did you get the plan
Gerald Paul no plans!! I just built her!!
James what plans is this
NO plans, I just built it.
Was the keel place and frames evenly notched to lay in
Each frame and notch was custom cut to allow for rise, and the stern was tucked at the top, Albemarle style. This is the first skiff I have built. learned a lot of things that I would do differently on the next one. Nothing was steamed on this skiff, all laid in naturally. The 1/4" plywood panels were pushed to the extreme of flexibility to carry the lines that you see.
@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC good for you,im building a hybrid myself,stitch and glue brockway with a little more rocker and alot less weight.that boat of yours is a work of art.excellent.
Can I have a drawing please?
trường đệ võ no drawings to be had she was built from my mind.
Can these plans be purchased?
JW Fortenberry I built this skiff out of my head, there are no plans. I grew up watching my great uncle build boats 50 years ago.
JAMES HOPKINS That is the best home made boat I have seen. Plan on building one soon.
JW Fortenberry I learned a lot since it was my first try, nothing was steamed so that worked great but I would change a few things for sure next time. Been working one out in my head for two years now.
excellent work... just shown way too fast... I got motion sickness just watching it...
Peter Sylves you need to stay on land!!! LOL!!!
WHY NOT BUILD A 25 FEET BOAT ?MORE SPE RIGHT ?
yusuf saleh shop was not spacious enough!! LOL!!
@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC OH .I HOPE YOU MAKE BIGGER BOATS 1 DAY .GOOD LUCK TO U
My eyes
Good job tho
This hurts my eyes.
Jim Garrett I’m sorry, used GoPro slide app to create it. Doesn’t seem to bother me!!
Is this a teaser for a movie? Nice build, horrible video.
Greg Cole could be!!! LOL!!!
Hahahaha! 👍
The video mores around and transitions too fast to really see anything. As soon as I start to look at something, it's gone from the frame.
