Planking the bottom of our Diesel Duck 41, Maryland style planking! SDP Ep. 74

- Bottom planking, Maryland style, getting the bottom closed in. I know it's been a while, my focus was needed elsewhere, but we'll never quit building our dream boat!
This is this is the story of a complete boat owning and boat building novice and his family, constructing a 41’ full displacement trawler yacht in the backyard of their upstate New York home. While I consider myself a fairly advanced amateur woodworker and DIY guy, I’ve never owned a boat before and certainly have never built one either.
The naval architect, George Buehler, designed this boat, from his Diesel Duck line, with the home builder in mind. This design has been licensed for professional builders in China and Turkey, but George’s goal was always to make the large, blue water cruising boat within the reach of the average person.
His commitment to a design that was attainable for the average handy person, resulted in his first book, Buehlers Backyard Boat Building, detailing the process. His designs often include building materials and fasteners available at the big box home improvement stores.
George believed that a robust, comfortable and safe cruising boat could be built with less than ideal, traditional materials. While he acknowledge that less than ideal materials may limit the vessels longevity and resale value, his design would get people safely out on the water while the other guy remained landlocked saving for a design he would never be able to afford to build.
Many traditionalist scoff at his mostly hard chined designs and deviation from traditional methods and materials. However his maverick approach has made the dream of crossing oceans in a home built boat a reality for many around the world. No matter what the “experts” say, his designs have been proven over and over with literally hundreds of examples cruising the worlds oceans today.
Our goal is to be next!

Goodonyas! Rocks are hard, water is wet, it is what it is! Priorities! Well done!
thumbs up to another diy family guy. may all your sea dreams come true.
Post as you want. Its your boat. Its your youTube channel.
I'm just here for the ride!
good to see you and the fam is alright glad to see the boat going again
Love Beuhler's designs. That boat is exactly what I would want to build and do the loop in. I've built some rowboats, dories, and got a good start on Stambaugh's Red Wing before the big C did a number on me. Congratulations on the whole beautiful effort.
Looking great
Just found your write up earlier. I have always wanted to build a sailboat but have been looking at trawlers and tugs lately. Enjoy the journey. I will be following your progress.
On a side note, please don't lean over the table saw blade or reach over it. I am a contractor and do risky things but try to come out of this with all of your digits and limbs in tact.
Glad you're back. We've missed seeing your progress.
Responsibilities always seem to get in the way. remember when you were a kid didn't even know what responsibilities was.
Good to see you again buddy.
Yoooooo i wasthinking about that you havent uploaded in a while an godspeed
Scott, I sure wish you could put out longer, more frequent videos but I do understand the constraints. I love your channel and can't wait to see that beauty in the water!

Good to see you are back Scott and looking well.
Good to see you back mate. What an awesome experience, watching that rocket launch!! Can’t wait to see more progress on the boat. Cheers!
If I get a ladder and get up on my roof I can see those launches. Planks look good. Keep it up man.
Glad to see that you are alive and well, your 3 month silence had me concerned.
That was crisp sound quality
Hi Scott great to see your progress and always look forward to your build videos, very jealous of your workshop as well. All the best Simon
Good to see you back...
I enjoy the content but I wish you would post more often and make your videos longer if possible.
Thanks Scott. Very nice to see another quality episode. I wish you continued success and appreciate that you are sharing your efforts with us
Hey Scott, great to see your back..
Hope all is well with family.
Progress is looking good.
Take care,👍
It was just about 12 hours before you posted this video I was starting to wonder what happened to you. glad to see you back.
That is gonna be one heavy boat.
I’ve seen that planking in hand built Chesapeake Deadrise (Oyster) boats.
Good to have you back with an update. Progress looks good. Thank you for the rocket launch! Best wishes to you and the family. Take care and have a good week ahead.
Always enjoy your craftsmanship. Keep it going.
Ha! I've always wanted to see a rocket launch too.
I`m glad to see you back, I thought you had packed the idea up.
Good to see you Sgt.
super congratulations, it's a real carpentry at home, and it's progressing really well...!! congratulations for continuing all the bottom like this which I suppose will receive after a layer of fiberglass to be well waterproof...!!
Glad to see you back! Hope all is well
Keep it up love your channel!
Nice work and I have to say lots of peanuts in the gallery to ignore!
Great to see you put out another video missed seeing the progress. Looks good Scott cheers have a good one.
Just so you know Scott, you were missed! Just yesterday, I checked your channel to make sure I hadn't missed any videos
amen
those launches are pretty spectacular. was passing through that area (Titusville?) on an extended bicycling tour back the spring of '96 and watched the launch space shuttle Atlantis. it was at night, between 3:00 and 4:00 A.M. and even from route 1 on the coast it was bright and very loud.
hope everything we be fine on your side
I have no clue how to make a boat. But I wanna try
Love your boat but would like more videos of your build
This style of bottom planking just seems so wrong to me. I know it's been done for years this way. Salt and Tar did theirs like this but to my way of thinking, if you, God forbid run her across the rocks length wise planks would just slid along where as this looks like more chances of the rock digging in and tearing off a plank with disastrous results. Long planks have more fasteners in them so they'd be harder to rip off. Just my thoughts though. Looking good Scott. Hope all in your family are well now.
Is that bottom going to be sheathed in ply and glass also? Just wondering as you didnt mention anything about caulking seams and you was cranking the planks tight with clamps.
If I'd known you were going to be down here for a launch I could have hosted you.
Wondering where you got to.
what many paner blades have you been through?
hope your ok?
Please post something !? WAY over 6 weeks now.
Be careful! I cringed when I saw you drilling and screwing and reaching over the still running table saw.
i have to tell you ,lots of work but for 200k you can buy a great boat another 50 k ,and will have a super yacht it is only my 50 c

HI THERE ARE YOU STILL ALIVE .... LOL JUST ASKING....
Love this build, i get excited everytime you upload a video. My only criticism is you should have turned off the saw before taking the plank off the sled, you may be skilled and not worry about yourself in that situation but you are by virtue of posting on here encouraging less skilled people with not so good habits
Where are you? Stopped dreaming?
not sure wearing gloves while using a table saw is safe
I worked in a cabinet shop putting myself through college. When using the table saw, my boss required me to not raise the saw blade up any more than absolutely necessary to minimize the damage done in the event of an accident. We had a guy who worked there who cut off his pinky and ring finger with a table saw. I like your videos, but you scare me working around a running table saw blade.
Are you out of prison yet????
