- My 7.8m Boat. How to build a plate boat.
This video is the build process of my plate boat.
I go from the truck arriving with the flat-pack on the back right through to the boat being on the water.
The build process is laid out in an easy-to-follow video.

Hello, My name is Jarrett and I live here in the U.S.. I have been looking at making my own boat, of course I don't know how to weld. I am planning on taking a welding class at a local community college. I know I have a ton of questions, the first is, do you have an idea of how many hours of welding you have into the boat?
Your video in my opinion is the best that I have seen, it get's right to the point and actually shows how you did it. No disrespect to all of the others, but you took us through your process in under 10 minutes. I tried watching another, it had three parts, each about 30 minutes, the boat looked really cool but all I really learned was what the guy's feelings were. Anyhow, I like your work.
Hey Jarrett
Thanks for the comment
Stoked to hear you have been looking into building your own. Here in Australia there are a few businesses that sell the kit boats and also run a welding course, So you can buy the kit and welding gear off them, learn to weld through them and also have them there for advice throughout the build. Not sure if you have something similar in the U.S. but I always thought that was the ideal way to get it done without prior experience :)
Hours.... I wouldn't know where to start.... What I will say is whatever you think it will be double it hahaha!!
There would be a few hundred hours in the welding but in my opinion the grinding and clean up etc. is where the time is haha!!
Thankyou heaps for good feedback I really appreciate it.
I was hoping to keep it to the point, and quick- Glad it worked.
Let me know if you have any other questions
@@MattyRacingLife I am in Australia, which businesses run a boat welding course? Thank you
by the way, the cockpit where you stand is called the sole, not deck, the athwartships members are called floors, you made a nice job
yeah nah this is australia mate and that is not an enclosed cockpit so the whole thing is a deck buddy.
you are not a boatbuilder, you do not know terms even, but you succeeded, well done. After 50 years i still mark my plates by hand, sure the plates are now developed by CAD , but i'd never trust some company or other to cut them by cutfiles
by the way how much did you pay the designer
in regards to towing weight, i,m guessing your 79 tows it, does the 79 have the standard 3.5ton maximum tow capacity? how much does the boat weigh and the trailer? thanks much.
Hey mate
We weighted it full of fuel on the trailer but with no gear and it came in at 3.51t
Keeping in mind it holds 720l of fuel
I just tried to not tow it full too far to kind of balance the extra weight of the gear once loaded if that makes sense.
In terms of performance- 79 and even my work hilux towed it just fine
@@MattyRacingLife thank you!
Hey mate what was your level of experience with welding before taking this on?
The guy who welded the boat was honestly pretty experienced.
He is a very competent welder and we used some scrap aluminium to get use to the new welder/ different types of aluminium.
If you have not done it before and are not competent I would absolutely suggest doing a welding/ fab course of some type
Not sure where you are located but there are a few options
Nice one Matty , I've been looking at CNC Marine kits and my father in law and myself are really interested. He's an panel beater from the old school and manufacturer who knows his way, so I'm pretty lucky there. But it will be a new experience for both of us. Cheers for your construction and sharing it. Great motivation mate! Enjoy your hard earned fruits of your labour :)
Hi Chris,
Sorry about the delay getting back to you mate its been a wild time of year haha!!
Mate that is really exciting!!!
Make sure you keep me in the loop with the build I would be very interested to watch it come together mate!
Seriously amazing work, absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing. WOW!
you let me ask ? How many mm thick is the body of the tau body?
Can you give me a diagram to cut and process the hull
Hey mate,
Im assuming by 'body' you are refering to the hull?
From memory I believe it was 5mm
How long did the alloy build phase take you, and was it just your self or how many buddy’s helped you with the fitting ?
Have you built boats before ? I did watch the full video, maybe I missed these questions
Thanks man
Hey mate
From memory, the actual alloy phase was about 2 months, we had the boat on the water in 5ish- from memory
It was super quick, and quicker than I would probably suggest haha!!
Not because we rushed anything, just because the build took up our whole lives for them months, it was literally work, then head to the boat.
We would regularly get to the workshop and camp there for the weekend putting in wild days…. But we wanted it done haha
Just one mate really, and he was the brains of the operation not me, that’s for sure haha
He had built one smaller boat, another kit and was a very competent welder, he really was the reason it came together so well I just cut stuff up and used a grinder haha!!
In my opinion, if you can manage the welding side of it, and are some what practical minded it would be possible without doing one previously
Hi Matty. Awesome video. I am looking at one of these. Where are you located ?
Hey mate,
Im in Newcastle NSW
What about you?
More then welcome to have a look if you are close enough!
Great video, is that boat all 6mm including the transom? What size engine did you go for, watching on my phone, cant see the size.
That thing turns like a weapon its so smooth
Ill grab some good footage sometime soon of it doing some hard turns :)
I can full lock it at 25 knots haha!!!
I think that duo prop really helps it bite in
awesome vid again, How do you find the Duo prop suzuki? Thats what im looking at in the 300hp model for my boat, Any Updates from BloodBank Jason on his boat? Heading to brisbane this weekend to visit Ralf at compass, cheers Matty.
Hey mate,
I have 300 hours on it now and so far i'm loving it!
My god it has some torque hey its impressive!!!
Flick me a message if you are ever keen and Ill take you for a spin!
Still working on Jason to make a video on Blood Bank. Its a weapon of a boat.
@@MattyRacingLife Youre too kind mate, i'd actually love to up on your offer and happy to chip in for fuel! Im in sydney and we just got smacked by a lock down, newcastle isnt too far also! Should i try and find you on facebook? Thanks mate
Awesome video mate 👍
How many hours welding/assembly do you reckon ?
Honestly mate, I don't think I could put an accurate time.. I know that's not extremely helpful haha.. But it was a lot
Hey mate quick question what welder did you use for the build and how did you find it?
Cheers
Hey mate,
Thanks for the comment,
It was a metal master unit from down the central coast way.
To be honest I'm not 100% sure on the model I think it was the metal master Pulse 250, Not 100% sure on that but mate
4.30sec, looks like someone is passing on a message hahah
Hahahaha!!!!
Geez I didnt realise I included that picture haha!!!!
Just a joke between mates, haha
Great pic up mate well done haha!!!!
You owe me a fishing trip lol. Sidey s mate lol
Absolutley mate!
Soon as lockdown is over lets plan something!!
nice look cheers mate very helpfully!!!
Hi Sean,
Cheers for the feedback mate appreciate it
Why cant you pullthe front first then work to the stern has it ever been done regards 😊
I wish i had your skills. Great job.
Thanks mate!
I cannot take the credit Mark was the brains of the operation haha!
Appreciate the kind words, Cheers
I want to do this and laminate abs to the bottom as a extra protection layer
Good job mate, I'm going to have a crack myself with a cnc Marine kit. What welder did you use. Did you go for a pulse welder?
Hey mate,
It wasnt anything too fancy, it was a pulse mig but yep.
Is the hull 1/4in aluminum?
If my conversion is correct, yes... 6mm
Great effort we’ll done
Thanks heaps mate appreciate it.
Awsome looking boat big and safe.
Thanks Frank,
I am very happy with it mate it came out great and handles really well.
Thanks mate,
@@MattyRacingLife
Im in a 2005 5.6m trailcraft love it to bits. Its definitely a banger. I think she is 15 degrees dead rise. As Revenge is so wide (awsome) does she bang. Looks like she got 15 degree dead rise or someware close?
Good vid and really helpful step by step breakdown of build👍
Thanks heaps mate appreciate it.
Hope it was helpful.
Awesome job! Love the boat. The video is very good. First one I've seen that talks about the build. I am literally inside my center console wiring up my Nav lights right now! Ha ha. It's like 1m x .75m and hot as heck in here.....mine is a much smaller aluminum plate boat. But I can really feel what you are saying about the construction of the boat. Thanks for posting the video.
Thanks heaps for the comment and feedback mate I appreciate it.
How did you go with the nav lights?
Thanks again :)
