Beto from Brownsville two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👊 brother yes sir awesome videos
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
Really nice job man. Cheers from South Africa Cape Town
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Hopefully I'll have a video of it on the water soon.
Damn fine job, sir!
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
Proud subscriber here! Nice work!
Thank you! Hopefully I'll be launching it soon!
cutre, I'd do the bumper rail without paint too, it will take lots of dings.
It looks like you used red oak on your transom just fyi white oak is a way better wood for boat applications. It doesn’t absorb water the way red oak does. But nice job regardless, looks good.
Man, congratulations! Well done.
She looks awesome. Great job!!
Can't wait to see her in action.
Thank you! I can't wait either. Hopefully soon!
Looks great. Can’t wait to hear how it handles
Thank you! I can't wait to try it out!
Such an amazing build to follow! Congrats on the completion.
Thanks Paul, I really appreciate that!
Looks great 👍🏽
Thank you!
Yes im about to buy a cnc kit for one
Turned out very nice! Excited to see some performance video.
Thanks man! I can't wait to test it out!
Good job.. What a good build.
Thank you!
Excellent job my friend! It looks like it came out of a box like that. Can't wait to see how it performs and how you really like fishing on it.
Thanks for the videos,
Keep up the good work.
Thank you, I really appreciate it! Just have to make her legal and then we'll test it out!
Good Job on the boat !!! It looks like a very well built fishing platform.
Thank you! We'll see if she floats!
Absolutely awesome!! Great work. I’ve been looking at several options and I’ve been following you for a few months. I want to try something similar. I’ve done woodwork fit many years and need to learn the glassing, painting, etc but it looks manageable. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you! I had never done the glassing, epoxy work, or painting, but it was all fairly intuitive. There are lots of resources online as well.
I'll be installing hatches in a few weeks, if we don't get any really bad weather that shuts me down. I'l have to go back and watch where you installed that hatch on the forward casting deck. Excellent work.
Considering there is about to be a very long wait to buy a new boat , definitely a good business to be in!
Nice work man!!! Can't wait to see you get it out on the water and don't forget to follow the "rules of the road " lol
Hey buddy! I appreciate it! I'll always remember "red right returning!" Believe it or not, learning the rules of the road in the Navy has helped me in my career and while fishing! Miss you man.
beautiful skiff,,,,excellent work sir ,,,
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
Just a small comment on building for others. Totally doable but remember your plans technically allow you to build one hull. You might be able to work something out with bateau, but make sure you buy a set of plans for any customer boat you build. Would hate for you to encounter some legal trouble.
My plan would be to talk to Bateau first. At minimum, I would purchase a plan for every boat.
Wow. That is a work of art. Truly awesome. I'm sure you've learned alot and I'm subscribing right now in hopes you build a second boat. Id definitely buy one if I could afford it
Thank you! I really appreciate it! I have learned a ton. It's funny you mention me building another one, my wife and I were just talking about that this morning.
It’s a great looking boat 👍 the reason for removing the sealant around the bottom of your hand rail is it’s an area we’re dirt and gunk can accumulate and looks bad , so as a retired boat and yacht builder of 32 years you asked should you build more boats, now I have to ask you , why , if your going to build them as a hobby pastime ? Do you want to build them to possibly make a profit as a side job or even turn them into a business, if you plan on building them to make a profit and a business I would tell you to make a mold for the hull and deck instead of all wood and glass construction, make those parts with fiberglass and composite construction, they will last longer down the road , the down side composite costs more ,the good point the size of the boat not a lot of material is needed, you would need to figure out your material cost estimation labor and over head, what materials like resin and glass layup are you going to use , epoxy resin or GP ( general purpose ) resin , will you gelcoat the hull and deck or paint it ? So there are many questions , if you plan two or three boats for friends, family or a past time , build them the way you built your boat , if your going into mass production go with glass molds , hope it helps , great little boat my friend 👍
I really appreciate the comments that you are leaving on the page! This one in particular was very helpful and was just in time. My wife and I were just having a conversation about what it would take to get a mold of this boat or something similar. I would love to have a mold and to make a few boats each year to see if I can turn it into a business. I have many questions about the process though. The first being, how to you create a mold? What are the legal ramifications of creating a mold from a boat that was built by copyrighted plans? How much does it cost to have a mold made? It is definitely something that I am interested in, as I think there is a market for a small skiff that can hold two people, be parked in a garage, and not be too expensive.
@@SchwindOutdoors ; hey bud , well now I know where your thinking , I to think that there is a market for this and maybe something just a bit bigger, so as far as the copyright issue you can’t build one from their plans at all , from what I was told the style of the boat has to be changed 17% but that would need to be double checked to make sure , now making changes to their style or plans shouldn’t be that hard as you could make it a bit wider & longer , add a inch to the sides , different deck hatch lay out , or other changes that you may think might be a better lay out , now on making a mold and this is the interesting part of stitch and glue , you build your Hull and reinforce its called a plug , and it will be glassed , sanded, faired to make it straight and gelcoated with tooling gelcoat, the gelcoat will have to be sanded and polished as this will be the finish on your mold , the mold is usually sanded , polished to a mirror finish, it wil be waxed with mold release wax allowed to dry in between each coat of wax and will need six to ten coats making sure not to miss any part of the mold , ( building you new Hull) the mold should be ready for you to spray the color gelcoat you choose , the gelcoat gets catalyst and it needs to be 22 millimeters thick when wet after it dries you do a 3/4 Oz skin coat of glass mat ( skin coat) make sure all air bubbles are out , if you have any air bubbles left in it will become a blister on your finished Hull part or will chip out , from there you add your lay up for your desired Hull thickness and strength, now you can add your stingers cross members , transom ( wood or composite ) so from there add in what you need to be integrated, bait wells , flotation and such , and you would have the deck mold to do . so then if your going to turn this into a business you have to do all the legal stuff , registration numbers and then you will have to get your boat approved by coastguard , so there is a lot involved, but once you gotten it all squared away and invested a lot of hard earned cash your ready to build boats ! My advise is go see a working boat building company, ask questions and see if this is what you want to do , hope I helped some , waiting to see your next video, 👍🏼. It might be cheaper to have the Hull and deck made depending on who you have make it , that are expensive, and you are talented enough to make your own , ( just remember if your building boats all the time -- you don’t get to go fish’n 🤣. )
Duuuuuuude helllllll ya. Slap a motor on that thing let’s go!
Almost there buddy! Just have to make her legal first....
Been waiting for the end result, dude it looks freaking sick! I just recently picked a skiff up too if your ever down to fish 😁👍
Hey man, I appreciate that! What kind of skiff did you get?
Looks Ah-mazing! Nice job! Looking forward to u fishing off that bad boy. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it! I can't wait to get it out on the water. It needs a christening in Redfish slime!
There ya go.

I would be interested, price point depending. But also, I am sure you have considered creating complete kits. I would be super interested in that!
Thanks for the content :)
I’d be interested in buying one
Yeah? If you're serious, feel free to shoot me an email! michael.schwind89@gmail.com

Congratulations on the completion of your project. She is looking good. You gonna name her?
Thanks man! I really appreciate it! You know, I'm not sure if I am going to name it. A lot of people have been telling me to, but I'm just not sure yet... Thanks for the comment!
It turned out great can you give a link to where we can get plans thanks for sharing great job
Thank you, I appreciate it! You can get the plans from BoatBuilderCentral.com mine is called the SK14.
Nice job... love your skiff
Would be great to have vid on the performance of your skiff.. then you can decide of making more skiff for anyone interested...
Greeting from Malaysia
I appreciate the comment! I will definitely be doing a video on the performance of the skiff. Hopefully the registration process goes smoothly and I can get her on the water soon.
You could sell those boats .I would love to have one but I could not afford just the materials .
I appreciate it! I've had a few people interested in buying one. I might build another one and see what I could sell it for.
Well, check in with Bearded Brads channel from Alabama coast, who does surf fishing and just asked if he might move in this direction. All the best brother
Hello, very nice work, can the skiff go to sea? Or is it a lake skiff? Best wishes .
This one was made mostly for bay fishing. So I wouldn't take it out it big water, but it is great for inshore fishing!
Olá amigo ... tenho.um projeto parecido com este... por gentileza você poderia me passar o tamanho dele e a largura p comprar com que eu tenho? ..obrigado
Any Luck getting her approved and registered? was thinking of making something similar and wanted to get some advice.
Yeah man, it was actually pretty easy. Just be sure to keep track of your receipts for any material purchased. They want to see all of that so they can charge you taxes...
Put the pole guides on the trailer
You won’t regret it
I was planning on it, but I can see my grab rail so well that I might not need them.
It’s not for you to see the boat
It’s for the boat not to come off the trailer when loading and unloading
You will see
Lol
@@homiedeehomiedee9963 Did this on my first wet test. Didn't have guides. Boat went sideways onto the trailer..
what is the length, width and height?
Length is 14 ft. width is about 4 ft. and I'll have to measure the height, but it's probably about 1 ft.
@@SchwindOutdoors thanks
I recently came across this build. Great job. What would you ask for ? if someone would be interested in a replica
Thanks for the comment! I need to sit down and calculate exactly what this boat cost me. What do you think people would be willing to pay for a boat just like this, including an 8 hp outboard and trailer?
