Are you a rock star? A big name singer? Someone faster in videos? Just wondering, with the hat turned wrong. You surely didn’t wear it for less wind resistance? Nice boat, nice video, thanks for sharing with all of us.
I wore the hat to keep the hair out of my face. It wasnt sunny so i wore it backwards so the camera could see my face and hopefully veiwers would feel more of a connection with me. If I had known that some people wouldnt like it, maybe id wear it backwards all the time because i tend to push back at anyone trying to tell me what to do... ask my parents!! ( Next video, backwards hat just for you friend!)
Hey i am putting together a boat building guide!!! here are the measurements if anyone is interested! thank you for your interest and support!! ""gum.co/bqjFg">
+Brooklyn Avenue I havent finished it yet :( i was unsure if anyone would want it! Lol the top (thank you for the compliment btw) doesnt have any fiberglass on it which helps, also i think the curve helps it look better too. Like how its not a flat top, i put wood in the middle so the top would be domed a little. Its so shiney from the 'bar top epoxy' its not as purdy up close either lol. I wonder how detailed the building guide should be? Any suggestions? Thanks!!
Brian Davis Thanks! Here is some advice: you know of EVERY imperfection in your boat, but to the rest of us, we don't see those things, to us, your boat looks cool! Don't forget that most people will NEVER get as far as you have already. This speedboat style boat you built here looks like a micro version of a very high-end speedboat, something only doctors and lawyers own. But I know that you keep thinking about every flaw in it.... I feel the same way about my builds (I mostly build tiny campers). I have a nauticraft peddle boat that I turned into a sailboat... But there's this great river right next door to me that is too shallow for a sailboat so I want to build a copy of your boat here. I am going to try and build it tomorrow. I like Paul Elkins' boats, but yours here is even cooler. As for an instruction guide, I would say that the main thing is to have pix of each major step. This helps me think that I can build it too. Anyway, I will buy your measurement plans now as they will be a help.
+Brooklyn Avenue Thats exactly what i was going for!! In my town, every year there is a classic wood boat show and thats where my inspiration is from! Suuuuper expensive some of them. wow that is some good advice! First of all the 'inboard' set up i have is not good for shallow water its more than a foot below! That is my main change. But the look suffers from motor on back. I would also make it a few inches wider at least if not more... its all a trade fashion or function. I have the building guide almost ready at home and im out of town! I can send you some pics if you want of the process! Email facebook text whatever you want! But im going to get that plan out quick and do a section on close up detail regrets! Thats a GREAT piece of advice!
Brian Davis Thanks man! The measurement plans I got from you already will help me to start, I can cut out the bottom piece, etc. I like the dimensions small, they work for me, I like the idea of carrying this in my pickup truck.I like that it will be relatively light (My sailboat is 384 pounds). I agree that the outboard motor hurts the look, and that what you did is very cool. Fortunately, the water in the Wekiva River (the river in florida right next to me) is deeper than 1 foot in all places, so I should be OK. When I say shallow, I mean that my sailboat needs at least 3 feet of clearance in all places, which is why it's a problem. When a sailboat gets stuck in 2-3 feet of water, you have to get out and push it. Here, in Florida, the alligators look for idiot sailors. With your boats, rowing should be easy if something goes wrong. And they are so stylish I bet that people will fight over towing me in...Seriously, people get excited over novel looking boats. You spoke about this experience... you like that you get interest, but sometimes it feels funny when people pay so much attention.
One fine looking boat! Keep making refinements Brian. Find a home for the battery and add blocks to keep it from sliding around when the boat shifts. Definite thumbs up!!
+Paul Elkins Thank you! Most of things i did different than yours made for worse handling. I figured the weight of the motors down under the boat would keep it from tipping. It does not. It tries to roll the boat hahaha And its not removable so the boat is much heavier and very awkward to haul/store. Thats what i get for choosing form over function! I may lock the motor and add a rudder... I never thought about my battery sliding but that would be super bad!! Thank you for your videos and your advice!! Just a side note, your coroplast boats are genius!
+model nutty The motor is far enough down for the blades to clear and then some. Im curious how it would act with a shaft twice as long.. i dont think it would ever climb all the way to the surface... and if the boat FEELS unstable when i turn it may still be safe especially if i dont turn too sharp at top speed! ;) more testing! i want it to be stable enough for fishing...
longer lever arm = more force, slightly slower acting but lots more determined! it'd help to put maybe 12 degrees angle on the shaft (shaft forward at bottom) so when it tries to roll, it's a little more like banked turning. I'd give it only an inch of clearance to prop tip for less leverage, it'll be slightly more than that when turned if you put that down angle in. less a worry if it's not outside chine grabbing, like turn left but leaning hard outside right (been there, ouch!).
+model nutty That would ideal! I think i could do it too! Angle bore a hole through a block etc! I hate to give up on the inboard, but its flawed from the get go and after everything it may still handle poorly! Ill try cheap and easy first of course! ;)
Nice job Brian. It's good to see someone with an inventive mind trying out new things. Especially with boats. I like electric drives, be interested to see what you come up with next. Cheers Tim
+Tim Weston Thank you! There is an upside to not well funded. The main thing being the freedom to just 'make it work'! The downside is the i wind up with qwirky boats that dont handle great! Lol its really fun either way and comments like yours make me proud and glad i put the videos up. Ive gotten great advice so far! I would love to make an electric boat that uses lipo batteries and a brushless motor... but they are still quite spendy... thank you for watching! Cheers!
Cool man, that boat is awesome for people 5’8” and under looking to be uncomfortable and drive a tiny boat extremely slow exclusively in tranquil water!
+Anders Larson They arent very expensive or heavy either! Cooler than canoes and kayaks i think! We need more builders!! I wonder how many just dont do videos? Your wood boat did awesome on your last ride! Ahoy mate! Lol lovin it!
That's a great little boat !!! years back I built a 8-foot hydroplane and put a 10 HP on it....that thing really flew....but the boat you built here is really cool....I think I am going to build that style boat next for fun....thanks for posting your video.
+adrien fabre i have the plans for sale online. If you google gumroad halfcraft you should be able to find blueprint a building guide and full sized patterns (unavailable at random times if i am out of town) let me know if this helps. I also have a video that explains how i make the plans and why they cost what they do on americanboathead @youtube
+TheSpeakerClub TSC the guide is srep by step how to do it. But for the pieces, you need to either make them up or use the blueprint to make them OR the plans plus pattern package has payterns that you cut out and then put together using the guide but its more expensive.
WUNDERFUL !! The exterior lines are well done......the flag adds a great touch. The steering linkage is awesome engineering ! I'm impressed for sure....
+mybeachshack wow thank you!! I like to say it's perfect from far but up close, it's far from perfect! Hahaha thank you for watching and commenting!! Totally made my morning!!
American Boathead Im a framing carpenter so I appreciate good craftsmanship. would love to see a tutorial on how to build this. if you could engineer two stabalizers one for each side that can fold into/on the side of the boat or up on top of the back(lambo style) that would be clutch! this is the best small boat ive seen yall went all out!
all you posters out there who dont view your own videos for sound are really tiresome might as well call all of you clickbait. ps beautiful boat, great job!
took the words outta my mouth definitely ordering your boat pattern package! i cant wait to build this and pull up to the beach at Lani Kai resort here in Ft. Myers Fl. Itl definitely be the talk and we will make a video of it all for you.
One of the best videos I've seen on youtube!!, rippling water, perfect clarity, fun concept... keep making them, definitely subscribed.... I made one "Solar boat on antrim lake" may of 2013...
+Brian Smith wow man thank you!!! So peaceful! thank you for subbing! I will definately build another! I need to finish a couple projects first! Im going to look for your solar boat!! Cheers!
Well, he has the hat on backwards, does that add to the speed? No, well, I’ve always wondered why people turn their hats on backwards. Neat little boat, the propulsion unit needs to be mounted so it has a release, because as is hit something, ya got leaks. Great video, thanks for showing. Give a thumbs up.
NICE little boat. i will be checking out your other videos. i have built a few boats this size but in clear polycarb (that i have on my channel) but not out of wood, at least not yet. keep it up!
lol! i like the "flavor" of your videos! the clear boats are exactly that 100% clear, and water tight! i would post the link but youtube automatically designates a link in a comment as spam and then flags you as a spammer.
Only issue with low speed boats is they are actually deadly, impossible to avoid danger or even navigate away from say another vessel or wave lol. Safer toy just for a pool.
Do you think that a large boat going 30+mph over waves is safer? I'm pretty sure a mini boat that stays where it very obviously should, like by the shoreline and away from waterfalls and damns etc. Is 100x safer. I may be wrong, but your comment sounds completely ridiculous... impossible to navigate away from a vessel or a wave???? Well I guess your right about waves.. pretty unavoidable on water.... smh...
+leegenix damnit theres NO duct tape on this boat anywhere! Hahaha someone else said that too. but the paint is exact same color lol and there is tons of unfinished stuff! Lol is it the bottom part that looks like tape?? Oh well haha thanks for diggin it and for watching!!
I'm glad to hear it's not Duct Tape. That means I dont have to worry about you guys sinking. Ha...But even if it was Duct Tape, you guys are cool and still Rock.
Tesla Boat: The Bruce 22 is the fastest electric boat in America. You can even practise water sports with this electric boat! Watch our latest video: th-cam.com/video/qKCMRzfUFDs/w-d-xo.html
+Jim Joned no presure at all to answer this.... but how much would you expect/ be willing to pay? I would love to build these and sell them but i dont know if it would be profitable on any way... thanks for watching either way!!
American Boathead + I made a sailboat about the same length, and then assembled a trailer from Harbor Freight. Make leaf springs from 1/4" spring steel rods, if can find some: Alro Steel. Buy a few extra. Two per side for my application. Add your boat and trailer sprung weight, divide by two, for spring flex rate. Make it to settle about 1" from the boat weight. Or 6" diameter PVC tube section cut out, slowly heated, flatten, shape. I don't know the endurance of the PVC though. Spring steel rods work. My boat, close to 70 lbs, rides plenty smooth.
I've seem a couple of boats done this way, but not as pretty as this one. The only difference I saw was how the electric motor was mounted up closer to the boat with a stick steering and the throttle was on the steering lever. They had twin batteries mounted up front to cover the motor, lights and depth finder. It was a pirogue design and also used for duck hunting down in Louisiana.
keep working on it, few small points if you run aground you loose rudder and power, if you hang the drive off the stern it can kick up instead, or put a skeg in front of the drive to protect it from hitting anything, first try new boat wear a PFD, also bring along a paddle if you lose power you are not helpless
dude I really like your boat it's beautiful I'm not trying to diss you but I'm wondering why the out Drive has to be two feet below the bottom of the hull, in short did the propeller need to be that far underwater?
I have one made from cedar strips. Looks a little tipsy. I think I would make mine wider next time. You have to sit on the floor of the boat to act as ballast.

bit slow that boat? or not?
American Boathead you push your Patents!
always hook the positive side up first,especially with a battery between your legs,,Then remove the neg. first when taking the cables off.
Hey i am putting together a boat building guide!!! here are the measurements if anyone is interested! thank you for your interest and support!!
""gum.co/bqjFg">
Do you have the full plans yet?! Also, how did you get the top of the boat looking so great?!
+Brooklyn Avenue I havent finished it yet :( i was unsure if anyone would want it! Lol the top (thank you for the compliment btw) doesnt have any fiberglass on it which helps, also i think the curve helps it look better too.

how far down is the motor pod? deeper sure does give longer lever arm to try to roll it. it's looking cuter with the additions.

TH-cam brought this little gem to my feed... I can't believe it's been 6 years!
Good times!!
Nice job. I love the old Chris-Craft/ Lyman "look". Brings back great memories. Thank you
+Justin W i love chris crafts!! Thanks for noticing my inspiration!!
Nice job Brian. It's good to see someone with an inventive mind trying out new things. Especially with boats. I like electric drives, be interested to see what you come up with next. Cheers Tim

Jump to 3:30 unless you want to watch the boat being moved to the water for over three minutes
Cool man, that boat is awesome for people 5’8” and under looking to be uncomfortable and drive a tiny boat extremely slow exclusively in tranquil water!
It's so cute , i would love to see a pair of midgets in pirate costumes piloting this little boat LOL
+Matt Treya triggered?
Billy C. LeWorth hehe
Billy C. LeWorth pirate if the carribeans
no chihuahua's . Have them pilot the boat! Or a Monkey!!!!!!!
Wait what ?!?!?!?!
Such a cool guy building boats is so fun! I don't know why more people dont do it keep being awesome!
+Anders Larson They arent very expensive or heavy either! Cooler than canoes and kayaks i think! We need more builders!! I wonder how many just dont do videos? Your wood boat did awesome on your last ride! Ahoy mate! Lol lovin it!
That's pretty cool, but for some stupid reason I want to see it do 90mph. I'm jaded.
+briansmobile1 that would be awesome! Even 10 or 15 mph would be cool!
A three hour tour, a three hour tour. Looks great.
+mattsynth allllll day!! Thanks!!
Smooth man ... Smooth
that thing is ridiculous and fantastic
+FrankValchiria exactly! And i have a love and hate relationship with them! Lol proud and embarassed lol
Cute boat, cute guys, what more could you want?
Well, beer...
+ShavinMcCrotch totally! Lol
Pretty nice little boat, I like the electric motor conversion. Stick another little engine in it and make it a jet boat!
+jedediahbc that would be soo awesome!!
it needs to be about 3' longer with a jet ski motor in it lol BRAAAAP!!
+Spyderbuilt oh man that would fly!
+Spyderbuilt oh man that would fly!
This was absolutely great. Your enthusiasm was infectious. I was very impressed by the quiet little motor. Good job guys!
this was very anticlimactic
That's a great little boat !!! years back I built a 8-foot hydroplane and put a 10 HP on it....that thing really flew....but the boat you built here is really cool....I think I am going to build that style boat next for fun....thanks for posting your video.
+Edmund Dunn Thank you for commenting! Yeah 10hp makes those hydro planes haul butt! I would love to make one some day!
is it unrecording?? is it on,,, how does this camera work??
Nice, no noise pollution.
thats not a boat, thats a costume.
Awe a fellow Kootenai county resident... I see you’re a man of culture
+Dusty Mullaley haha yes culture, this area is not known for it lol i love it here! thanks for watching!
Unrecording haha. That was funny
+Jay T its happened before! Lol
This is so awesome man id love to have one of these or something similar
THIS BOAT HAS TOO MUCH POWER!
BE CAREFUL NEXT TIME
Great little boat! Enjoy
+Neal Shue Thank you!! Im still a little nervous in it, but enjoy it i shall! Thank you for watching!!
Would it be possible to have the plan? great video
+adrien fabre i have the plans for sale online. If you google gumroad halfcraft you should be able to find blueprint a building guide and full sized patterns (unavailable at random times if i am out of town) let me know if this helps. I also have a video that explains how i make the plans and why they cost what they do on americanboathead @youtube
OK. thank you
American Boathead Is it the "Creative boat building guide" that has the plans for the boat that you're using in this video?
+TheSpeakerClub TSC the guide is srep by step how to do it. But for the pieces, you need to either make them up or use the blueprint to make them OR the plans plus pattern package has payterns that you cut out and then put together using the guide but its more expensive.
Generally I'm not interested in boats but this was such an enjoyable vid, thanks for sharing.
+Mark McCluney thats a huge compliment thank you!!
hmm unrecording
Love me the barrel-back Chris Craft!
+Foghorn Leghorn me too! All the wood chris crafts are beautiful!!
name this guy mr. mumbles
Sounds good captain go fuck yourself
Major LMAO! XD
From Dick Tracey?
Many thumbs up for waving the American flag and also for a really cool boat! Thanks!
+Les Mack thank you! I almost dropped the flag in the water!
Hi
+Shiloh Neely hello!
i think i know u
+Shiloh Neely oh yeah?? Are you related to shay?
yes
im her brother
Like all the timber finish - like a tiny Riva!
+racketman2u Thank you! It wants to be a Riva or Chris-Craft when it groes up! Lol
the style and craftsmanship are amazing. beautiful wood finish.
+MrSpanky473 thank you!! It doesnt look as good close up in person but i still love it!! Thanks for watching too!
This is the most coolest thing ever
+Hamad YT thank you!! It's also super fun even though it's on the slower side lol
WUNDERFUL !! The exterior lines are well done......the flag adds a great touch. The steering linkage is awesome engineering ! I'm impressed for sure....
+mybeachshack wow thank you!! I like to say it's perfect from far but up close, it's far from perfect! Hahaha thank you for watching and commenting!! Totally made my morning!!
They always say that a boat is like a hole in the water into which one pours money. Well, at least you have a small hole. I think it's cool as hell!
cool tiny boat and yall dis a fantastic job on making it look really good
+Marco Mattio thank you!! I have a few more boats you might like if you like this one! Thanks for watching Marco!
American Boathead Im a framing carpenter so I appreciate good craftsmanship. would love to see a tutorial on how to build this. if you could engineer two stabalizers one for each side that can fold into/on the side of the boat or up on top of the back(lambo style) that would be clutch! this is the best small boat ive seen yall went all out!
cool little boat
Insane build
all you posters out there who dont view your own videos for sound are really tiresome might as well call all of you clickbait. ps beautiful boat, great job!
took the words outta my mouth definitely ordering your boat pattern package! i cant wait to build this and pull up to the beach at Lani Kai resort here in Ft. Myers Fl. Itl definitely be the talk and we will make a video of it all for you.
Dude that boat looks good man
+Jonathan Vick thank you!!
Hahahah "if it gets boring press pause" idk that just cracked me up. But yes very cool.. Quaint
+Lucas Mercier haha thanks! Yeah he shoulda paused right away! Lol
Love the wood work
Thank you! Wood is naturally beautiful!
One of the best videos I've seen on youtube!!, rippling water, perfect clarity, fun concept... keep making them, definitely subscribed.... I made one "Solar boat on antrim lake" may of 2013...
+Brian Smith wow man thank you!!! So peaceful! thank you for subbing! I will definately build another! I need to finish a couple projects first! Im going to look for your solar boat!! Cheers!
Well, he has the hat on backwards, does that add to the speed? No, well, I’ve always wondered why people turn their hats on backwards. Neat little boat, the propulsion unit needs to be mounted so it has a release, because as is hit something, ya got leaks. Great video, thanks for showing. Give a thumbs up.
I wore the hat to keep my hair out my eyes and didnt need to shade my eyes. Thanks for watching!
sweet looking design
1 minute into this I realized I've already watched this. But it's so great I'm watching it again😊
Yes!!!! Thank you!!!
Wow! Very fast!
Very neat!
Very cool
Foarte bun 😀😎
One suggestion; make the boat a little longer and wider and off the electric motor and put an S&S Harley engine in it. :D
+Dan Butterworth hell yeah!! That would be so awesome! I have a predator 670 vtwin that might work!
That is so cool. You have done an excellent job. You should be very proud. Looking forward to more.
Ha! how cool is that! That's what being a maker is all about. Great video, guys...
+errick51 a maker yes! I love that term! Thanks!
mini kid rock moment all you need is a hot song
how does this boat video get more views than Paul Elkins boat videos. hes the OG and boats go like 10mph!
Man I wish I knew! I thought his had more views. I have a bunch of videos better than this and they don't get any views. It seriously blows my mind..
NICE little boat. i will be checking out your other videos.
i have built a few boats this size but in clear polycarb (that i have on my channel) but not out of wood, at least not yet.
keep it up!
+Ray Pena
+Ray Pena what is tgis clear witch craft you speak of??? Im off to your channel now!!! Some of my other vids are scary so be careful ;)
lol! i like the "flavor" of your videos! the clear boats are exactly that 100% clear, and water tight! i would post the link but youtube automatically designates a link in a comment as spam and then flags you as a spammer.
+Ray Pena Oh man those poly carb boats are insane!! i have soo many ideas for this stuff holy crap THANK YOU!!!!
Glad you like them. i have a few more ideas for those boat types so keep posted!
Brian, that's a beautiful little boat you have built. It deserves more than a trolling motor tho--don't you think?
+eugene Morrill yeah it needs a nice quit 10hp honda or something lol it needs some handling upgrades too lol
I was expecting it to fly, but it is still very nice lol
+Camilookb you and me both! Haha luckily it feels faster than it is! Its like a kayak speed but easy! Thanks for watching!!
I chose this for my last video before i went to bed... I have to wake up at 6:00 for first day of 7th grade luv what u do
+Offical UnkownBrains careful buddy! You might think about mini boats until you MUST build one! Lol thanks for watching friend!
Only issue with low speed boats is they are actually deadly, impossible to avoid danger or even navigate away from say another vessel or wave lol. Safer toy just for a pool.
Do you think that a large boat going 30+mph over waves is safer? I'm pretty sure a mini boat that stays where it very obviously should, like by the shoreline and away from waterfalls and damns etc. Is 100x safer. I may be wrong, but your comment sounds completely ridiculous... impossible to navigate away from a vessel or a wave???? Well I guess your right about waves.. pretty unavoidable on water.... smh...
That is such an awesome creation
that's such a cool project! props to you man! you should make a little spot to put the flag
+Ajw312 yeah i should! Ive almost dropped it a few times! USA !!!
Man, that is so cool. I dont care about the duct tape or the little unfinished stuff. It's fantastic. You guys Rock.
+leegenix damnit theres NO duct tape on this boat anywhere! Hahaha someone else said that too. but the paint is exact same color lol and there is tons of unfinished stuff! Lol is it the bottom part that looks like tape?? Oh well haha thanks for diggin it and for watching!!
I'm glad to hear it's not Duct Tape. That means I dont have to worry about you guys sinking. Ha...But even if it was Duct Tape, you guys are cool and still Rock.
+leegenix ha ha thank you!
Lol my babies first boat, cool little thing though.
Over 600,000 views?! Congrats man!
thank you!! i can barely believe it!
That is a beautiful boat! Great idea.

I would love to see a mini trailer built for this!
+HypeBeastCentral I made one kid a but I called it a mini boat dolly!
American Boathead + I made a sailboat about the same length, and then assembled a trailer from Harbor Freight. Make leaf springs from 1/4" spring steel rods, if can find some: Alro Steel. Buy a few extra. Two per side for my application. Add your boat and trailer sprung weight, divide by two, for spring flex rate. Make it to settle about 1" from the boat weight.
Or 6" diameter PVC tube section cut out, slowly heated, flatten, shape. I don't know the endurance of the PVC though. Spring steel rods work. My boat, close to 70 lbs, rides plenty smooth.
looking mighty bizzare !
That is awesome boat
+Kynan Wilksch thank you! And thanks for watching!
That's a cool boat man!
+Edward Berry thank you!
Full speed as baby duck paddles by him lol
I've seem a couple of boats done this way, but not as pretty as this one. The only difference I saw was how the electric
motor was mounted up closer to the boat with a stick steering and the throttle was on the steering lever. They had twin
batteries mounted up front to cover the motor, lights and depth finder. It was a pirogue design and also used for
duck hunting down in Louisiana.
+James Maxwell that sounds amazing!!
this is just fantastic
+Quinn Daily and super fun!!
I want one looks so cool
+hitman harvey gotta build yourself one!!
American Boathead really
really cool great job building.
thank you for watching!
This is super cool. Was hoping for some mental speed for some reason lol 😂
+wolpod vlogs thank you!! I think we ALL expected a little more speed lol i just got a newbmotor to try so well see!
Very nice.
Congrats.
+Ioannis Zorgianos thank you!
some people like tiny houses AND some like tiny boats lol. its cool I would put a jet ski motor and drive in it.
smooth man man smooth lol sounded so much like dale gribble
+angelzfan714 hahaha i cant unsee it now! Lol
keep working on it, few small points if you run aground you loose rudder and power, if you hang the drive off the stern it can kick up instead, or put a skeg in front of the drive to protect it from hitting anything, first try new boat wear a PFD, also bring along a paddle if you lose power you are not helpless
too cool, good job guys
+Curtis Jordan thank you!!
dude I really like your boat it's beautiful I'm not trying to diss you but I'm wondering why the out Drive has to be two feet below the bottom of the hull, in short did the propeller need to be that far underwater?
Nice one Brian! I get the jitters too when launching a new boat, I think it's a healthy fear of the unknown :-) Cheers S
+ksjdhg lol yes its definately fear based! Cold water, sinking, failure etc lol thanks for watching!!
I like it Brian. Mike
+Mike Fifer thanks!! More to come!!
Cute Lil boat
+Lane Weeks thank you!!
I think it needs some floats. Or side construction, like a speed boats.
I have one made from cedar strips. Looks a little tipsy. I think I would make mine wider next time. You have to sit on the floor of the boat to act as ballast.
cool boat man man
hahaha thanks
It would be neat having something about that size with a jet ski power pack.
Haha yeah!!! It would fly!
