That is pretty neat. Many years ago, I remember seeing on the news, where people made a boat out of paper milk cartons. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers! ✌️
Nice! My single occupant sailing camping boat design was delayed due to taxes going sideways and local regs... I’ll get it done one day! BTW... Watch out for the paddle leash in rougher water! It has your neck in mind as a target. Have a good one!!! 😎👍🤘
Looks good Paul, times like this makes you want to find 10 foot long sheets of Coroplast. I know it can be ordered but it's spendy... I should say you use to be able to order it! I was playing with the idea of a Coroplast catamaran.
I'm thinking of making a boat for my local river. I wonder how well Coroplast would hold up against rocks, broken concrete and trees. Maybe I should try to make a sit-on-top kayak from PVC and pool noodles. I'll have to check the local regs, but they have a float-down every year here, and a recent attempt to require stickers for any flotation device was voted down, so maybe it's doable.
Hi Paul, there's a clear specialty glue ,LePage is the brand name , for plastic, it works great on coroplast. I used some in my last kayak in a hole where water was seeping in
Hi Paul, what thickness of the fluted plastic do you recommend? I want to try and do one of this but I don know if the material is available down south where I live. Great content anyways, much love from Argentina!
Do you ever re-use your zipties? Clip them right where the tip goes in to the ratchet, or else slip a knife tip into the ratchet to release without cutting. Save you some money and time spent driving to the hardware store, as well as less plastic sent to try landfill.
I do, just what you've suggested. I have a ton of zip tie stubs. Sometimes I save just the heads for joining two flat panels together, like a nut and bolt. A paper clip also works for releasing the cam.
Hi Paul I'm finally getting around to making it , made a few changes, I'll send you an email once I'm done . Hopefully some videos in the near future too Edit : also Paul, I'm thinking of a front bulkhead as well , mainly to rest my feet against to get more torque when I'm paddling.
1967 iwas 7 my cousins lived on the s w side of Camano island they found a old tender washed up on the beach . Well we thought it would be a good idea to go for a boat ride . There was 10-12 kids the oldest was 10 . 4 of us rowed the rest bailed water. It had bad leaks. Anyway we were halfway to Japan ok maybe a couple hundred yards out I could still see the bottom . All of a sudden the bottom turned black. I could see some white then realized a killer whale was under the boat it was huge. I think we may of hit mach 12 rowing back to the beach. Smh that's what I was thinking about while you were rowing around in your yauht
Beware: The HO life jacket will not protect you from the vicious Lamprey Eels of Lake Superior. Given time, they will munch right up through your bottom and you will sink.
You were the first person I ever subscribed to here ,and it was because of that yellow boat. I thought it was just amazing
You never fail to amaze me with your creativity, persistence and a positive outlook. Good work Paul!
Well done Paul, Nice and light and good for a little fun fishing too, win win!
been following for a while now so proud of you coming through with a lightweight kayak like this i might pack one for a camping trip !
Great job, Paul! Really enjoyed watching the development of this kayak!

Paul is one wild and crazy guy! Keep up the good 👍 works Paul. Many thanks 🙏🏿
Love it! Well done. I really like the improvements you made along the way. Thanks for sharing!
a lot of small sail boats use dagger boards on both/either side, they may be more effective against wind than a rear skeg
Interesting little boat.
Thanks Captain Coroplast, Well done!
LOL! Thank you!

I just purchased the plan and am very excited to try this with my Boy Scout Troop - Thanks!
The refinements are so great
Love it. Looks good and reasonably sturdy.
Great work !! You keep popping up when I search interesting projects !!

Nice disign. But i liked the one sheet plywood best. I like the fact you newer stop improving. Awesome job!
thanks for the video, the waves made me laugh well !
Good Job Paul.
Love this. I think I might have to purchase the plans and build a boat for each of my family! 😂
If you do send pictures of the results!

Nice process!
Really cool, Paul.

I like it! I might build this one.
Paul... Does it have a bilge pump?
Yes! it's called a sponge.
Very cool!
can you get your hands on 5' x 10' coroplast and prototype a 10' boat? I would love to see it. thanks
Cool. It reminds me of a kayak made by a Russian guy from plastic wrap.
Excellent 💥👍👍👍👍
Could you please do your version of those kayak coolers. The ones that look like mini kayaks
Life size origami .. . . Super cool
No fiberglass, no sanding, no paint, no chinking, no welding, just a folded sheet of fluted plastic and a few cable ties.
Very cool. Will be waiting, home on water)
That's is sweet man cool 😎 👌
Can you make a mobile bear proof safety box?

Just need a splash skirt

Good day Sir, i need the diagram, i want make it with sandal sponge
A catamaran? Better stabilization! Greetings from Argentina
Idea for a sponge bean bag... Pull them out and sponge the water, $10 on ebay for a brick the size of your head
Thanks for that
Is it faster than your previous version?
I've yet to do a GPS reading but it looks like it's a bit faster and tracks better even without the rear stablizer fin.

Solar powered trolling motor....... 😁
Too bad I’m so far away from you Paul, I just threw a whole stack of Coro in the waste bin.
Nooooooooo!!!
who accumulates used coro? it seems all the development permit signs around here get thrown out by the developers. thanks
Cela ressemble plus à un cercueil qu’à un kayak…😱
I love your projects, but I'll stick to my inflatable on this one.
