Haha, thank you guys! I've definitely missed sharing projects with everyone these past couple months (i promise there's a tone in the works and uploading soon!) but as you know, these vids are a Full time job at times and well.... life has been busy and TH-cam hasn't been high on the priorityy list. On a related side note: Big cheers to your Channel, I just checked it out and really dig it. You've got a new sub! Cheers Andres and Ali!
Looking good, been waiting to see this one! Using my 2 smoke Yam 9.9 I get 26mph (loaded w/beer and 55#'s of dog) on my 1973 14' Cricket build from 2021. The Cricket was a sub-$300 FB Marketplace find - boat, trailer, and 15hp Johnnyrude. Will make a vid with/from stills of that boat soon. Currently building out a 12' tri-hull (think Sears Gamefisher clone) that should handle chop a little better, she gets 24mph with the Yammy. Both are built with 'expedition/camping' in mind - i.e. open floor plans, to be able to sleep aboard. I love a small efficient fun boat - especially when they are cheap! :D Looking forward to Part 3!!!
Right on! These sound awesome and super functional for your intentions. 👊🏼. I just googled the cricket and found yours on microskiff, it’s super cool! Good luck on the new build, would love to see it when it’s done! Cheers!
Favorite channel!! You have inspired me to get into boat building and I'm now 2 small skiffs deep and never turning back!!! Love the channel keep it up
Search YT for it. There's one that a young guy made in Sweden or Denmark IIRC, as a school project. Good results, a good bit more engineering is needed. :)
@Life at the Waterline I believe I have watched all the diy videos. Waverider in Australia is the only company that makes one that's not ridiculously priced. I assume no one makes in the US due to liability. I'm sure someone would forget to pull them up and crash into a sandbar.
So glad to see you back. Love these builds. So inspired I'm going to have to do my own. What size of ply and what grade did you use for sides? What are you thinking for the tops of the gunnels? Was going to try splitting some drain pipe and sliding that over as a mold on mine then glassing over that. Might be faster than a ply shelf
Hi Tom, thanks so much and thanks for the question. The sides were made out of super cheap 1/4 sande ply. Not the best for boat applications but…. Considering we’ve laminated both sides and they will be completely sealed / never drilled into / compromised …. I’ve had great success with this wood. :) For gunnels , I’ve been really split. I love that idea / style with pvc or water pipe insulation, very easy and functional. But… I’m leaning a lot towards a wood cap ( I’ve got some cool pieces that are hardwoods and wood look slick). Time will tell haha! And right on, stoked to hear you’re inspired to do a build! Definitely share / update , I’d love to see how it goes! Cheers!
im currently building a custom 1989 chaparral 162 xl about 700 pounds possibly 600 being i gutted the whole boat for more room what size motor would you go with I have a 115 ,1975 Evinrude but it is a manual tilt and I think it's a bit too much for this 16 foot boat do you think a 50 or 60 would push it without having to max it out or idk i'm new to boats lol
Hi Stacie, I think if you build it bare and light enough you’ll have no problem scooting around with a 50 hp motor. The old evinrude 2 cyl 48 spl , 50 hp , and 55 hp are all essentially the same motor and great candidates for a budget motor and super reliable / strong if you find a decent one. Good luck with the build and keep us posted!
@@diywaterworld thanx that is a big help and I will I am going to post the videos of the full build as I go. right now I am replacing the stringers and floor and I stumbled on your videos and realized you are doing basically the same so I figured your probably the best person to ask for advice . love your videos by the way
Man good to see you back bro. 🙌 I thought you died or something bad. 🤔 didn't see you for months. I was a bit concerned. Love this channel man and sick vids 👌 🙌 👍 😎 EDIT: What is that ryobi tool called you cut the glass with man??
Thanks so much, yeah that seems to be the shared consensus... I had a few folks reach out wondering if I was lost at sea on a tiny boat adventure. :/ But all is good, youtube requires a lot of attention and priority on my end for the way I try to engage and share and honestly the last couple months has been extremely busy on SO many levels of life. Regardless, I apologize for getting folks worried, I've missed sharing and engaging with everyone and I'm stoked to get back into the groove with uploading these last couple months of builds / adventure. Cheers!
It’s kinda weird, you talk about PPE when glassing and grinding but then you drive to the ramp without wearing a seatbelt. Statistically, you are more likely to crash your car, than have an industrial accident 😂
Oh man…. That went right over my head! 🤣🤣too funny buddy. Thanks for the positivity and I can’t wait to share the next vid! Im working on finishing it up as I type this! Hope to upload in next couple days. Cheers!
Thought we lost you there for a second! That thing has got to move! We love these wild builds! Keep ‘em coming! 🤙

2 of these and a bridge deck would make a sick cat

That is one slick boat!
Thanks my man! It's a fun ride indeed and boy oh boy wait till you see the next part! Haha. Cheers Wayne!
Pretty cool. I want to see a super small hydrofoil boat. That would be cool.
Search YT for it. There's one that a young guy made in Sweden or Denmark IIRC, as a school project. Good results, a good bit more engineering is needed. :)
Haha, yes that would be cool for sure! Perhaps one day! I’ll have to put on my thinking cap for that one! Cheers and thanks for sharing!

Love the channel - you guys deserve lots more subs, will try to help spread the word.
Хорошая работа, хорошее видео, которая вызывает уважение!!! Какие размеры лодки у вас получились?
Good glass work is truly impressive to see done
Thanks so much! All it takes is practice and not being scared to mess up ! 😅cheers!
Oh. man, it looks AWESOME!
Thanks so much Elle!
That's a cool one man. Glad to see you building again. Maybe I can come down sometime and help out.
So glad to see you back. Love these builds. So inspired I'm going to have to do my own.

Super Awesome Build, Was Such a Big Learning Experience.. Forrest you are an Awesome Builder bud.. Got to.do this again soon... #Yewwwwwww
My man! SUCH a great time and so much fun together, I’m already looking forward to our next endeavors! Cheers buddy!
Love your content.
Thanks so much Nathan! Glad you enjoy the vids and thanks for the channel love!
Give us some measurements, how wide did you leave the hull, height of plywood at each end
It's that outboard short shaft?
So real question, why not through bolts instead of screws??

Do you have a link to the first part to this build mate?
Hi Scotty, absolutely! Enjoy and cheers! th-cam.com/video/aN7iJ8E1pIA/w-d-xo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
@@diywaterworld Cheers mate, much appreciated.

@@diywaterworld awesome mate. Look forward to the mad adventures 🤪
I only see part 2. Where are the others 3 and 4.
It’s kinda weird, you talk about PPE when glassing and grinding but then you drive to the ramp without wearing a seatbelt.
Statistically, you are more likely to crash your car, than have an industrial accident 😂
pretty significant crack in the boat at 0:42 :/
Hi Anthony, must be something that looks like a crack in the vid. There definitely aren’t any , at least not yet 😅😂
@@diywaterworldAw I’m only joking fella 😅 look again and you might see the “crack” 🍑 boat looks great, can’t wait to see what she can do!
Oh man…. That went right over my head! 🤣🤣too funny buddy. Thanks for the positivity and I can’t wait to share the next vid! Im working on finishing it up as I type this! Hope to upload in next couple days. Cheers!
