- DIY mini boat build. This boat has been designed and build by me. The inspiration are the Dutch bakdekker type boats.
The video is a collection of build pictures. At the end 2 video's of the first test runs. The second boat is my sons boat. A video of his build will be on this channel.
The boat is not yet finished. The steering is a test setup. The current dash is just a mock-up.
Materials:
Bottom 10mm hardwood ply, ( waterproof glue ).
Sides and deck 4mm hardwood ply
Glued with PU foaming glue, the most important parts are glued with fibre reinforced glue.
Screws only where I thought it needed extra strength.
2 base coats of PU primer. Polyester filler. 3 coats of outdoor high gloss paint. The visible wood has - been coated with very strong paint for floors.
Other stuff
30Lbs electric outboard.
60AH tractor battery.
PWM controller for the motor.
Battery voltage indicator.
Cut off outdoor chair.
Do not start about polyester please:
Boats do not need polyester to float, ask Columbus. In fact encapsulating wood with polyester is fine until water seeps in. And it will. If that happens it rots from the inside out.
Don't get me wrong, I love working with polyester, build my camper with the stuff.
Super cool. I would love one of these
I like your designs and how professional your work was it was very impressive I subscribed.
@@RobbsHomemadeLife Thank you so much.
The speed boat is for sale.
Great job may I ask where you got your plans thanks for sharing
Hi Hux,
Thank you.
We designed them ourselves.
Great job do you offer your plans for purchase?I am interested thanks
@@huxmetalworks7371 Great question!
I could make the plans from my drawings and from the boat. I would be very proud if anyone would build my design. :-)
Hoe stabiel is zo'n bootje met golven?
Hoi Alex.
Zeer stabiel. Had ik ook niet verwacht. Misschien omdat je bijna op de bodem zit is het zwaartepunt heel laag.
De stabiliteit is iets waar je bij het instappen op moet letten. Ik leg de boot in water van 10cm diep. Dan kan je instappen zonder dat de boot kan kantelen. Als je eenmaal zit vaar je gewoon weg.
@@dennix01 zo'n dingetje maken staat nog op m'n lijstje om eens te doen. Een sleepboot variant.
@@alexwolf8044 Een sleepboot vind ik ook erg leuk.
@@alexwolf8044I was just telling my girlfriend I’m making a tugboat‼️
