Video is of a stitch and glue boat I built. Design is from Renn Tolman and is 27 feet long. It is currently powered with a 2001 yamaha 150 2 stroke. Top speed is 36.6 knots @ 5200 rpm.
What a lovely boat you've built, and really quite large, too! I particularly like the cabin windows, large and plenty of them. She looks to be a strongly built boat which has plenty of space for fishing and relaxing. Sensible use of the auxiliary motor.
Bro, I'm sorry again for stomping the Like Button!! Oh man, I just love your Boat. After 45 years of building houses, furniture, Decks, and about , yes almost everything a Saw can cut, it's time , Right here to make THE RENN TOLMANN, SKIFF!! YOU ARE AWESOME BROTHER.!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR POSTING YOUR VIDEOS MAN. I don't know how to send you pictures, but I know someone who will. I'm so happy to have finally found EVERYTHING I'VE DREAMED OF RIGHT HERE!! I HAVE ORDERED BOTH BOOKS !!! Yer the MAN!! P S .. New Subscriber!!
Carvin -- don't forget to go on over to fishyfish.com. Great group of guys that will help you get through any questions while building your Tolman. If you're in Maryland, you can stop by the boat barn... always something going on in there. Just pulled out a 24' Jumbo to be used on the Chesapeake bay. Next up is a 30' by 9.5' Great Alaskan Kodiak.
@@davidwilson1288 Thanks , I'll get to that site as soon as I get back from Key West. One thing that's really got me " juuuust" a bit puzzled, is to get the exact measurements of the side wall design and bottom.. I'll get to you and the bunch asap bro man.. ALL I think of now is that answer.. to those exact measurements..its killing me to figure it out...My book will be arriving in a few more days from Alaska.. I live in Florida, so it may be a week more.. so glad I've found All of you fine people bro. !!!!
Hi,Im from philippines my husband is a fisherman, buying this kind of boat is a fortune,but maybe i can built this slowly maybe a year or more the only problem is the blue print for this one,buying a blue print plan in the web need a card,which we don't have.Anyway is a Beautiful Boat.
Especially with the skills and work ethic of filipino ppl I have seen you will do great u should do it.Buy the book plans are in there by renn tolman Alaskan skiffs👍
I haven't personally filmed the boat running, but there are a couple videos out there. I'll see if I can find them and upload to my channel. One of the videos I'll try to find is of the Jumbo running around 32knots about 60 miles offshore in the Atlantic. (It was a pretty calm day though lol)
Fabulous job, man I would love to build this exact boat. On the bones of my backside at the minute though. Any hint at what it would cost? Thanks in advance, and again superb job.
I built the boat hull for under $10,000. I just finished another 24 foot for $16,000 with a used refurbished trailer and a low hour used 140hp suzuki outboard
Since these are home built boats, my answer is just my opinion and someone could certainly build cheaper or spend less time building. Mine was built for around 25k without electronics in about 800 hours. I'd say an average number would be 40k. I spent around 800 hours, but 500 hours is a good number. I ended up building all the aluminum rod holders, rocket launcher, and hand rails which took a lot of time.
Barco apto para alta mar. Lo he tenido a 90 millas. Embarcación muy segura con cámaras de flotación selladas, imbornales de cubierta, costados altos y proa.
Did you foam the bottom ? I've seen some boat builders cut holes and then shoot it in one corner and then wait a while until it comes up in the other corner so it's better for the waves and comfort
It is a composite design. Instead of more framing typical of dory types, this design creates a very strong and lightweight hull with more usable hull space. The tolman 20' standard skiff can fly on a 30 hp. Frames and stringers of typical dories also create points of water capture that leads to rot. The Tolman interior hull is thus easier to maintain.
Yeah, that was probably me Matt or could be David Nolan who sadly passed away a year ago. We would often buddy boat out 90 or so miles offshore. His Jumbo used to be red, but is grey now. Pretty famous guy that Dave Nolan. I miss him!
You're right Rob, but it wasn't that bad. I used a few long boards I made, some pneumatic board files, DA sanders, and electric sanders. I made a few of my scarfs poorly and just used drywall mud knifes and 6' floats. Thanks for watching!
Interesting comment... this boat is a plywood cored fiberglass boat. A notable difference between this boat covered in e-glass and epoxy is the weight. A similar 27' boat built with a mold and chopped fiberglass / polyester resin would weigh twice as much. This boat weighs in around 4300 pounds wet.
A break deck would have been suited to this boats sheer, would have allowed the cuddy to be lower in height and a much dryer vessel. I definitely would have taken a few degrees off the sheer caps and made it a bit safer to walk or egress and regress the vessel which I find very unnecessary to have, thus levelling the gunnels somewhat. Not my boat so what can I say.
Look up Novi lobster boat. Some boats break the gunwale upwards next to the pilot house and raise the sheer. This boat is a Tolman Jumbo which wouldn't be a Tolman Jumbo without the dory flare.
Seems like that is designed for crab lobster trap hauling near the steering wheel? Tolmans are known to be pretty dry - the chine flats and spray rails etc. dont think there is much to improve upon
Short answer is yes to all of the above. This boat will last more than my lifetime as long as the epoxy/fiberglass is not breached. If it gets breached.... just fix it! Here's another short answer... it's easy to build. I mean easy! Anyone with minimum woodworking skills can build this boat. Some epoxy and wood flour(saw dust) can fix any mistakes you make. In fact, I had to remind myself not to make cabinet grade cuts. You want gaps in your joints to let the epoxy fillets to soak in.
What a lovely boat you've built, and really quite large, too!
I particularly like the cabin windows, large and plenty of them.

beast of a boat man. i am counting down the days till i can finally start my own build.
My only regret is not building it sooner. Good luck on the build and let the sawdust fly!
Awesome build, and boat! Really appreciate you sharing this - Very nicely done, and very beautiful, strong boat brother; Awesome!
Thank you!
She's gorgeous, congrats!
Absolutely beautiful build! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Eric. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Great job. Nice touch bringing pop out fishing. Wish mine was still alive so I could take him.

Awesome boat
Great work. Just the colour mmm
lol... the Admiral picked the colors.. ha ha
Hell of a job
Nice work !
Thank you!
Nice build , well done it looks great
Thanks for watching Kevin
cj8mule where can I get plans
Renn Tolman wrote a book called 'A skiff for all seasons'. You can also find the book and support on Fishyfish.com
Excellent job, well done
Nice work....😊
Thank you

Hahaha I forgot I was watching a boat build was zoning out to the music
Ficou excelente parabéns
Nice work! I'd love to see some footage of her up and running. Seems a bit light on power though for 27 feet, I would have expected twin 150s.
I haven't personally filmed the boat running, but there are a couple videos out there. I'll see if I can find them and upload to my channel. One of the videos I'll try to find is of the Jumbo running around 32knots about 60 miles offshore in the Atlantic. (It was a pretty calm day though lol)
Way too much HP for the Beauty, but just my thought.
My Gosh she's a dream!
Beautiful work either way. I am impressed on your performance on a buck fifty!

How much is it to build a boat like that? And how long does it take? Beautiful workmanship!!!!!

Ese barco es para el mar? O solo para lagos y aguas tranquilas?

@@cj8mule wao... Gracias por la aclaración, puedo preguntar cuantas capas de fibra de vidrio le puso al casco? Me parece una maravilla de bote
@@andrewebmaster5376 Fibra de vidrio de 6 onzas con epoxi en proa y techo. 10 onzas de fibra de vidrio en cualquier otro lugar.
@@cj8mule gracias voy a copiar tu método amigo es practico y rapido
Did you foam the bottom ? I've seen some boat builders cut holes and then shoot it in one corner and then wait a while until it comes up in the other corner so it's better for the waves and comfort
I don't like the pour in foam and certainly wouldn't recommend it. If you want extra flotation, I would use closed cell sheet foam or pool noodles.
My onewuestion is why make it out of plywood then cover itall in fiberglass? Waterproofing? Strength? Looks?all of the above? Thanks!
It is a composite design. Instead of more framing typical of dory types, this design creates a very strong and lightweight hull with more usable hull space.

Hey, thanks! Just wondering are you related to my math teacher from last year???
Sencillamente, extraordinario
Thank you.
Theres a guy in NJ that fishes one of these 100+ miles offshore
Yeah, that was probably me Matt or could be David Nolan who sadly passed away a year ago. We would often buddy boat out 90 or so miles offshore. His Jumbo used to be red, but is grey now. Pretty famous guy that Dave Nolan. I miss him!
That’s a lot of sanding you had to do. I kno from experience lol. I have a porter cable DA electric that works great
You're right Rob, but it wasn't that bad. I used a few long boards I made, some pneumatic board files, DA sanders, and electric sanders. I made a few of my scarfs poorly and just used drywall mud knifes and 6' floats. Thanks for watching!
That was a lot of sanding, but scraping it while green helps. Although, many people don't sand and just leave a work boat finish.
Beauty!
Thank you.
Why not build one with fiberglass
Interesting comment... this boat is a plywood cored fiberglass boat. A notable difference between this boat covered in e-glass and epoxy is the weight. A similar 27' boat built with a mold and chopped fiberglass / polyester resin would weigh twice as much. This boat weighs in around 4300 pounds wet.

Here's a link Sean Michel of the Jumbo running: th-cam.com/video/PTOOECZkCoQ/w-d-xo.html
Also wheres the keel :P
A keel wasn't necessary for this boat. There are strakes some people build, but I don't plan on beaching.
Huh, cool!
A break deck would have been suited to this boats sheer, would have allowed the cuddy to be lower in height and a much dryer vessel. I definitely would have taken a few degrees off the sheer caps and made it a bit safer to walk or egress and regress the vessel which I find very unnecessary to have, thus levelling the gunnels somewhat. Not my boat so what can I say.
Well.... thanks for watching. I've put over 2000 nm on her this year alone with many of those 60 to 80 nm offshore. I assure you, it rides dry.
what is a break deck?
Look up Novi lobster boat. Some boats break the gunwale upwards next to the pilot house and raise the sheer. This boat is a Tolman Jumbo which wouldn't be a Tolman Jumbo without the dory flare.

I agree John. I just uploaded a video on my channel to show how dry. th-cam.com/video/CPjIG5PA9ao/w-d-xo.html

By the way this is my second account so I am also the person who asked those questions
