Wow Oscar amazing as usual.your build quality and attention to detail is incredible. To have a boat built in a commercial shop to this standard of fit and finish would be brutally expensive, my hat is off to you. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Appreciate it. You guys partnering with Lou (Tips of a Shipwright) had a lot to do with me doing this project. How do we explore a partnership like that?
Well it's a process for sure. For me, I kept thinking about how fairing sucked less than the regret I would feel if my paint job looked like crap. Also, I had to learn how to fair and that learning process from knowing nothing to maybe figuring it out was only done through worn out shoulders. I'd love to see your project. Post a link and share if you can.
Yes, gelcoat is very common, but does require some specialized equipment if I am not mistaken. It's best sprayed in this application I think as well. Having done it, I couldn't be happier with the topcoat finish. It was not cheap, but produced a great result from someone who has never done something like this and as a rule hates painting. Keep the advice coming. I need all I can get.
Truth be told most people you have seen probably knew what they were doing. I probably made it as hard as possible on myself. The upside is I learned a lot about what to do, and not do, going forward. Appreciate it!
Glad all is good with you. Been missing your videos. Have you had a chance to make anymore progress? I know ya’ll have had extremely hot weather there in Louisiana like here in Ga. I’m ready for fall!
The weather has been brutal, but I have mostly been distracted fishing this summer, and work has picked up so the boat has fallen in priority. But, this week I hope to have the weather line up and I will start pouring foam in the hull to get ready to glue the deck down and keep it moving forward. Appreciate it as always.
This is beautiful man. Two Q's for you, the black stuff you sand off between coats, what is that? Also, lots and lots of plumbing? I'm 70% done building Tewantin by Tim Weston boats, only 12ft but man, I appreciate the effort. Im guessing you abandoned the 50ml pumps shortly after scarfing those sheets? She's an absolute beaut man, subbed and liked
Appreacite it. The black stuff is called a guide coat. It's a fine carbon like powder type stuff that attaches to your coating. Once you sand back everything, the dark spots are low areas. If you go back to Ep 36 you can see it in better detail. I became a huge fan of it. Also for the plumbing, there is a lot going on for sure, but I am attempting to make the boat as functional and have as many comforts as possible. All live wells will be insulated to double as drink boxes. Raw water pumps in every livewell, in addition to recirculating pumps as needed. But the biggest thing is preparing for having room to do new stuff in the future. I'd love to hear more about your project or if you have any posts or anything you can/will share.
Hello! I'm thinking about building a boat for myself and I spent a lot on your videos and it's a shame you didn't post anything else, I'm following you. My name is Marcelo and I live in Brazil, could you send me the project for this boat, I would be very grateful, and if you have more videos that would be even better. Hugs and stay with God!
Thanks Marcelo. I am still building the boat but it's a project and not something I can stay on as much as I would like. But as I make progress I will continue posting the videos. That's the whole point of all this. You can get the plans from SaltBoatworks.com. I am not sure what the international shipping looks like right now, but if you have any questions, I am happy to do my best to answer. How am I doing so far?
What would be the purpose of that comparison? You are assuming I couldn’t purchase any boat I would like. What if just maybe, I have some skills and I wanted to challenge myself and build something as its own form of enjoyment. That’s the reward for me.
@@Bigeaux20 I just thought it would show you could have just bought a really nice boat but chose to acquire your boat through a passion and hard work. It’s the only way to get that feeling of accomplishment on your first voyage.
I get what you are saying. I've said all along that in a twisted way, I am having a blast building this thing. And most people aren't aware of how little I have actually worked on the boat over the past two years. I still hunt a lot, and fish even more. There are times I go 3 maybe 4 months without touching it. But, it will get done in time. Appreciate you checking it out. Stick around. Hopefully the best is yet to come.
Very nice. Great lines. For me. Rather than build the hull. I’m taking a boat with a good hull and stripping it down ripping the top off and just use the hull. I think it will be less work. Having a wood boat that looks like a fiberglass boat is still a wood boat that will develop problems. Especially if it wasn’t built with epoxy.
I can certainly understand that approach. I would believe it would be faster. It's not as hard to tear and cut stuff out to get to a bare hull as it is to build from scratch. I just wanted to do it all from paper to finished boat. It has always been about the journey for me. Best of luck to you. I'm curious about your wooden boat and problems comment. My hull is a wooden epoxy fiberglass hull. What problems should I expect?
@@Bigeaux20don’t let his comments bother you. Epoxy/ply boats are quite durable. As with anything a person builds, the amount of effort to construct the object correctly and with as much quality as possible will determine how “good “ the thing is. A giant benefit to the epoxy/ ply boat is the tremendous weight savings over a conventional fiberglass hull. I am planning to build a Glen-L 16’ Cabin Skiff. I’ve been delayed by some health issues, but plan to start in early 2025. Your boat looks great and you appear to be a craftsman. Good fishing & boating to you!
Appreciate the insight. I am not sure about all that craftsman talk, but I like to think I understand concepts and I ask a lot of questions or do a lot of research into what I think should be done. I don't always get it right, but I intend to do the right things. Best of luck to you on your build. I looked at the Glen L stuff a lot and honestly came down to the Salt build or the B&B Marissa. I'm excited to see this one finished and floating with my kids to enjoy. Hang around and let me know if I get off the path.
@@kenyoung976 I see you are hoping to build a Glen-L boat. I built a 16’ Outrage by Glen-L a few yrs ago. I thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed the build. I just finished restoring an old Checkmate I found in a salvage yard. You will enjoy building your boat. Wish I had done this 30 yrs ago. If you do a search here on TH-cam, plug in Glen-L Outrage. You’ll find a couple of short videos.
@@kenyoung976 I would love to build a Glen L or any other wood boat. I just find it hard to trust a wood hull without a great deal of attention given to it on a daily basis. I will also be going with proven construction. No worries from the water line down. Lastly my idea of boating now has nothing to do with fishing, camping, cruising or skiing. I’m old and don’t have time to build one but do want the topside to reflect how we use it.
That’s what folks don’t understand. There is no cost on the enjoyment of creating something. It’s a joy to those who do it. In the end it will be way cheaper than purchasing and I will have learned skills I didn’t have, and challenged myself to accomplish something very few have. That’s worth a lot more than my time and money.

Appreciate it. I can’t wait to see it finished either. But that’s many moons in front of us.
Thank you for sharing...loved it
Appreciate it. It’s a process for sure.
Amazing job!
Appreciate it. You guys partnering with Lou (Tips of a Shipwright) had a lot to do with me doing this project. How do we explore a partnership like that?
Beautiful work man. I'm working on a 20 foot flats boat from boat builder central right now. Fairing sux.
Well it's a process for sure. For me, I kept thinking about how fairing sucked less than the regret I would feel if my paint job looked like crap. Also, I had to learn how to fair and that learning process from knowing nothing to maybe figuring it out was only done through worn out shoulders. I'd love to see your project. Post a link and share if you can.
Hey, great job did you know wax-type gellcoat is a great final coat to encapsulate the hull? Keep having fun!
Yes, gelcoat is very common, but does require some specialized equipment if I am not mistaken. It's best sprayed in this application I think as well. Having done it, I couldn't be happier with the topcoat finish. It was not cheap, but produced a great result from someone who has never done something like this and as a rule hates painting.

Wow. I have never seen anyone put that much effort into fairing a hull.
Truth be told most people you have seen probably knew what they were doing. I probably made it as hard as possible on myself. The upside is I learned a lot about what to do, and not do, going forward. Appreciate it!

Impressive.. I wonder if you took your hours x your pay rate + your material cost how big a boat you could have bought.

$100,000 in time and material But he has a beautiful hull

Probably more like $250,000. But it’s like a Van Gogh painting. How much did it cost to create, and what is its value now.
