  • These made to order $950 kits will allow you to build your very own mini boat at home.
    American company Rapid Whale has created "Mini Boat," a miniature boat measuring 6ft in length and around 50kg in weight.
    The boat is made almost entirely of laser-cut plywood and is held together using a combination of glue and cable ties.
    Fiberglass is applied to the whole boat, increasing its strength and waterproofing. Mini Boat is powered by two 12-volt batteries, allowing the miniature rig to reach a top speed of 4 mph.

    Fantastic! Very well done, promises a lot of fun! Also great is the philanthropic fact that you offer the construction plans and printing files for free so that any ambitioned homeworker could do the ingenious mini boat completely by himself.

      Random Quacker!!!!!! It’s pretty easy when i was 4 my dad and uncle made me a big ass boat with only a old mini bike engine the propeller was made out of a can and the body it self out of really strong wood and some waterproof glue. I am now 15 and i still have it and it works the cost was almost nothing the wood was scrap wood and the engine had some problems so it was cheaper but my uncle fixed it so it cost almost 25 dollars.

      Téssio Fechine Those already exist. They've been around for decades, actually. However, you still need the license to operate them, and that costs around $8000-12000, depending on where you live and how that affects the costs of a flight school and its instructors.

    My kit would include a new plastic septic tank with an added keel and a more powerful motor. Foam inserts in case it got punctured. Buy a boat in which you can use as a surface style submarine for the same price. For an extra fee we can turd your boat into an actual submarine. How cool would that be. Included is a 1 inch thich see thru floor. If you buy the limited edition we wil install a working toilet for you. We call it the convinience package.

      Only in calm water's because if a wave hits you.. or the water ascends a little.. What will happen? Ofc it will get to your cables and Battery's.. This will lead you with 2 issuses.
      1.It will explode and it will make a hole in your boat and sink it
      2. It might catch on fire.. and you have no escape expect abandon it.. (Water would make it worse)
      So best to not buy this trash that shall be worth 10-100 pounds

    Totally expensive but awesome looks like easy storage as well I hope amateur don’t buy it and die lol but in two years I’ll buy the bigger one which fits two people iPod dock radio and sun roof built in .... for 1000 bucks it better go faster than 4mph offcorse u can tweak it as much as u want but the price tag is insane but great concept

    Buy inflatable 2 person boat from walmart $150. Trolling motor $80. Two batteries from amazon/ebay $40. Be on the lake in 30 mins. Not 3 weeks. Spend under $300. Not $950. Everything fits in any car.
