    This is definitely the coolest, most badass shallow water boat I've ever seen! It's beautiful! And to top it off its a prop tunnel with good size pods. I love the build pictures also

    It's been a year since I commented on here and I still enjoy watching this perfect build come to life. My welding skills have gotten much better and the only thing I need to build my own is space!! Thanks for the video

  • @jimgarrett7078
    @jimgarrett7078 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Beautiful design and execution. However, I am a traditionalist and would much prefer a fair sweeping gunnel cap than one with a hard angle.

    • @duvalferrera4401
      @duvalferrera4401  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks man. I tell you what... There are a few things that I would change if I built another one... The rake on the bow, the float pod configuration... but over all its turned out to be a pretty cool set up. Honestly... I spent all my time doing the figuring on the hull and very little time with the decking etc. Things could definitely be tightened up and refined on the next one...

      @jimgarrett7078 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      duval ferrera In most things, our second and third attempt always involves improvements and slight modifications that make a big difference. Please video the next one so we can enjoy your gifted fabrication skills and see your changes. And please make the sheer/gunnel cap a fair sweeping curve - it will add an air of professionalism to your work in my most humble opinion.
