Interesting comment... this boat is a plywood cored fiberglass boat. A notable difference between this boat covered in e-glass and epoxy is the weight. A similar 27' boat built with a mold and chopped fiberglass / polyester resin would weigh twice as much. This boat weighs in around 4300 pounds wet.

Yeah, that was probably me Matt or could be David Nolan who sadly passed away a year ago. We would often buddy boat out 90 or so miles offshore. His Jumbo used to be red, but is grey now. Pretty famous guy that Dave Nolan. I miss him!

Yes, the book has some cabin plans in it. There is also a forum called fishyfish.com that you can find many great examples.

oh yeah. These boats are tough! I have over 6000nm on this boat now.

The red jumbo is just a little shy of 27'. The green jumbo is 27' 1"

@@cj8mule Thanks for you very prompt reply! Great looking boat!

Hard to say since it was a few years ago. Probably around 300 hours. I've since completed a 24' version of this boat and took 500 hours to complete. That was including welding all the aluminum hand rails, rod holders, and rocket launcher (rod rack on top).

Barco apto para alta mar. Lo he tenido a 90 millas. Embarcación muy segura con cámaras de flotación selladas, imbornales de cubierta, costados altos y proa.

@@cj8mule wao... Gracias por la aclaración, puedo preguntar cuantas capas de fibra de vidrio le puso al casco? Me parece una maravilla de bote

@@andrewebmaster5376 Fibra de vidrio de 6 onzas con epoxi en proa y techo. 10 onzas de fibra de vidrio en cualquier otro lugar.

@@cj8mule gracias voy a copiar tu método amigo es practico y rapido

I built the boat hull for under $10,000. I just finished another 24 foot for $16,000 with a used refurbished trailer and a low hour used 140hp suzuki outboard

Carvin -- don't forget to go on over to fishyfish.com. Great group of guys that will help you get through any questions while building your Tolman. If you're in Maryland, you can stop by the boat barn... always something going on in there. Just pulled out a 24' Jumbo to be used on the Chesapeake bay. Next up is a 30' by 9.5' Great Alaskan Kodiak.

@@davidwilson1288 Thanks , I'll get to that site as soon as I get back from Key West. One thing that's really got me " juuuust" a bit puzzled, is to get the exact measurements of the side wall design and bottom.. I'll get to you and the bunch asap bro man.. ALL I think of now is that answer.. to those exact measurements..its killing me to figure it out...My book will be arriving in a few more days from Alaska.. I live in Florida, so it may be a week more.. so glad I've found All of you fine people bro. !!!!

Especially with the skills and work ethic of filipino ppl I have seen you will do great u should do it.Buy the book plans are in there by renn tolman Alaskan skiffs👍

please do an internet search for a book called Tolman Alaskan skiff. there are plans for this boat in that book. there is also a great forum called fishyfish to answer all your questions. there is a similar boat you can look into called a great alaskan

It's a squeaky suspension seat from tractor supply. Costs $109.

@Tommy Evan If I had to do that, I'd just get a new girlfriend!

Obrigado

Thank you

Thank you

The green tolman does self tender. Although, I only raised the stringers 2 1/2" above spec, it wasn't enough for all the extra weight I put in the stern. Water will come in when a big guy like me fishes in the stern. (especially in a following heavy sea) Ping pong ball scupper flaps eliminate most if not all water entering, but lets water exit. I do have a large bilge pump under the deck, but has never been used. I would have to hole the boat to get any water under the deck. The red tolman does not have scuppers and uses a bilge pump to get rid of fish blood/water. There is a build thread on fishyfish.com titled 'Southern Maryland Jumbo' for the green Tolman. The red Tolman has a build thread on the bassbarn and woodenboat forums.

@@cj8mule Awesome. Those are some awesome boats you guys built. I recognize Dave Nolan's red one. If it was me I'd have to have a hull that self bailed! How long did your build take?

@@jjnb57 It took me 16 months to build and was my first build. I could do it in 12 months now and am planning a build for Feb 2020

@@cj8mule Awesome. Again, great job on the boats. I want to have one myself one day.

Economy was very good and quiet. The boat has sold and went to a fellow on the eastern shore of Maryland. I have no complaints... the boat performed great. I ended up building a 27' tolman jumbo so I could tuna fish in the atlantic

I don't remember many videos of the chieftain in the water. There is one short video on my TH-cam channel. There is also a nice restore thread on the starcraft forum on iboats.com

8 feet 6 inches

27 foot or 8.22m

Lvl... I think versalam is a brand, but same thing. Sourced them locally and had to remove some wax before epoxy

@@cj8mule Robert Storms--- are you preparing to build? About a year ago you said you couldn't wait to build one.... If so, be sure to check out fishyfish.com. There are so many of these being built right now.

None from this year yet. I'll try and get some more of the "Uncle Keith" while out tuna fishing.

lol... the Admiral picked the colors.. ha ha

Thank you Eric. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Well.... thanks for watching. I've put over 2000 nm on her this year alone with many of those 60 to 80 nm offshore. I assure you, it rides dry.

what is a break deck?

Look up Novi lobster boat. Some boats break the gunwale upwards next to the pilot house and raise the sheer. This boat is a Tolman Jumbo which wouldn't be a Tolman Jumbo without the dory flare.

Seems like that is designed for crab lobster trap hauling near the steering wheel? Tolmans are known to be pretty dry - the chine flats and spray rails etc. dont think there is much to improve upon

I agree John. I just uploaded a video on my channel to show how dry. th-cam.com/video/CPjIG5PA9ao/w-d-xo.html

The bottom panels and shelves are lofted onto the plywood. Here's a link to the plans: www.amazon.com/Tolman-Alaskan-Skiffs-Previously-Seasons/dp/0966871111/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0/139-9373258-2117912?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5SH9CMVQSB7S2MB7B464&dpID=51tG7oh53ML&preST=_SY344_BO1,204,203,200_QL70_&dpSrc=detail This link will also help you: fishyfish.com/

I haven't personally filmed the boat running, but there are a couple videos out there. I'll see if I can find them and upload to my channel. One of the videos I'll try to find is of the Jumbo running around 32knots about 60 miles offshore in the Atlantic. (It was a pretty calm day though lol)

Way too much HP for the Beauty, but just my thought. My Gosh she's a dream!

Beautiful work either way. I am impressed on your performance on a buck fifty!

I don't like the pour in foam and certainly wouldn't recommend it. If you want extra flotation, I would use closed cell sheet foam or pool noodles.
