Freaking amazing build, bud! I've been wanting to build one of these since I built my foam kayak. Yours is exactly the kind of build I want to do. Thanks for sharing and for putting together a great set of videos. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say we'd all love to see another video once you've gotten it out on big water and broken in, maybe a long-term product review of sorts. Again, great job!
Thanks mate I've been slacking on the editing I've been busy chasing marlin in my kayak they are just about finished so ill be back into the vids really soon I will do a review and a run down of everything I just have to get around to it haha
Could you shove a codder pin through the wheel shafts when they're in the boat so you can leave them in when traveling? Seems like a hassle to shove in the wheels like that. Then you could just pop them out once it's off the truck.
Howdy from Texas! How many hours roughly did it take you to get to where you’re at now? Love the build and I’m planning to build one similar in the coming weeks! Looking forward to seeing it in action
Hey mate I'm not really sure the amount of hours I've just been doing it in my spare time while also fishing but am back into now im keen to get it finished now
Dude, I was so excited to see this video in my feed....that thing looks freakin sick...honestly it looks store bought..so what would you do differently if any..
Thanks mate it was great to finally get it out probably not alot really i think more grip on the bow is needed it was slippery on the paint i think I'll add something to the clear coat for grip but I have to get it out in the open and open it up and also see how it handles other boats chop and waves but it went really good ill do another test run vid once I've got it all painted
very nice work you have done . You inspire me to build one can you please send to me the megermente and the tronsen of the engine megermente please thank you
Thanks mate I'm glad I could inspire you 3.8m long 1m wide down to 910mm at the back the hull side is 850(front) -800 (back) And I don't have the transom measurements with me atm but the transom should be built around the motor you get because they can all be a little bit different depending on what brand you go with
Thanks mate glad I could inspire you to give it a go the dimensions are 3.8m long the deck is 1m wide up the front and 910 wide at the back and 850-800 wide on the hull side and I haven't got a weight yet but it is heavier then I expected I used more resin then I though and I didn't factor in the weight of all the extra liquids in primer paint and clear coat once I'm all finished ill weight it and make a more detailed vid about all of that info
Yea was very satisfying floating in my hand built boat knowing it all works Im not to sure yet if I'd change anything o need to get it out in the open and see how it handles at speed And i don't think wider maybe if I was a bigger guy but I wanted to be able to transport it on my roof I think I found a good balance of stability and weight I have to do a few more tests first
Haha it's pretty amazing I have an American passport aswell but I wouldn't want to live there my brother moved over a while ago and he's moving back to aus this year And the fishing on the east coast is awesome all year round so I don't need much else haha

I totally get it. It took me damn near 6 or 8 months to get videos posted after I finished my kayak. That's life..lol. Looking forward to seeing them.
Great job man! Congratulations! It looks great! Im affected and will fire like that project this summer! I hope to see it while shining !👌
Thanks mate! yea its really not that hard, I had minimal fiberglass experience before attempting this build
That flood line is sick. Your boat is bad ass. The real test will be the ocean!
Thanks mate! yea the real test is out in some chop once I've got it all sorted and registered ill find out how it goes
Could you shove a codder pin through the wheel shafts when they're in the boat so you can leave them in when traveling? Seems like a hassle to shove in the wheels like that. Then you could just pop them out once it's off the truck.
Cool! Congrats on the splash.
Cheers mate was good to finally get it onto the water

So how is the skiff doing after a year?????
Awesome stuff man 🙂
Thanks mate
Looks awesome mate, any chance of some approximate dimensions and weight? You’ve sold me on building one now mate
Thanks mate glad I could inspire you to give it a go the dimensions are
3.8m long the deck is 1m wide up the front and 910 wide at the back and 850-800 wide on the hull side and I haven't got a weight yet but it is heavier then I expected I used more resin then I though and I didn't factor in the weight of all the extra liquids in primer paint and clear coat once I'm all finished ill weight it and make a more detailed vid about all of that info
@@thefishinglair2467 cheers mate I look forward to that video
Had to be a pretty good feeling getting her out there. What would you have done different looking back? Wider?
Yea was very satisfying floating in my hand built boat knowing it all works
Im not to sure yet if I'd change anything o need to get it out in the open and see how it handles at speed
And i don't think wider maybe if I was a bigger guy but I wanted to be able to transport it on my roof I think I found a good balance of stability and weight I have to do a few more tests first
Cool man it came out great
How much do you think you’ve spent on the build I’m intrested in doing one myself?
Im not really sure maybe 1.8k-2.3k (aud) I spent more on paint then I planned to but but was roughly 500 on foam and 12-1500 on fiberglass
very cool
非常漂亮，不知能否在海上使用
Thank you, I just had it out in the ocean chasing marlin but I didn't have any luck finding one
Great progect! Can you tell dimensions of you boat please?)))
Thanks mate it's 3.8m long 1m wide at the front tapering down to 910mm at the back the underneath is 850-800 and about 290mm high
What foam density are u using bro??
Its Xps foam, it's a closed cell foam im not sure how dense it is
Also how do you like it where you live
Do you mean as in Australia? Or where that vid was taken that was just a local back creek I don't live on the river
@@thefishinglair2467 I mean as in Australia? I'm about over the state's lol
Haha it's pretty amazing I have an American passport aswell but I wouldn't want to live there
my brother moved over a while ago and he's moving back to aus this year
And the fishing on the east coast is awesome all year round so I don't need much else haha
