I have really enjoyed watching your videos. Reminds me of stock car racing with boats. Live way too far away to see you guys. I do belong to 2 boat clubs already. Lol
As usual, I seem to be a little late to the party. I hope that you're still monitoring your channel. I have thought of building such a boat for a while now. However, all I really know about boats, is that the boat goes on the water, but it's very bad if the water goes in the boat. You mentioned the requirements of the boats. Are there no dimensional or material specifications? You mentioned coming out to watch the racing, but you didn't say where it was happening. One of the reasons I've not followed up with building one for myself is that I have no knowledge of what "Boat Hardware" I would need, or where to get it. I can tell that you are in the US, but where? Also, what kind of speeds are these boats reaching while racing?
Rules to race with us are simple, flat bottom boat with a string trimmer engine. Dimensions and materials are all up to you. We race in the area around Greenville Ohio, if you are nearby you are welcome to join.
I sent that before I meant to. Looking at the map, you're just a little more then 200 miles from where I live. I've now watched some more if your videos and have learned quite a bit. Are you making your transoms from 1x4? The rest of the material appears to be what is called "Luan" in my area. I've also seen it referred to as door skin. It is low-grade plywood that is about ³/¹⁶". I say low-grade because there are plenty of voids in the inner ply. Thanks again for responding, and for the videos you've posted. Ciao
@@bob2161 I normally use hardwood for the sides and transom, that is planed down to maybe 1/4” or 5/16” on the sides and 3/8” for the transom. Then yes the bottom and hood luan works fine. We do have a website it is www.nasboatracing.com
@@theclevercraftsman that's great! Thanks for the info. If I'm looking at this right the transom needs to be beefy enough to hold the screws for the rudder mount and shaft strut. I imagine pine would bee too soft. I do have a few planks of oak I think I'll try. Thanks again.

Thank you for the response. Is there a website for NASBOAT?
