Just caught up with nbr 2 here love the console looks great, She floats beauty for sure. Looks to be a really great family adventure . All the best to you and family and kudos for stepping out and making it work. I am building a houseboat as well just at pontoon and framing for deck stage now but winter pretty much shut me down. I will be posting photos of it next spring after the snow is gone.
I've watched this video over and over because it's in my opinion, the best houseboat hull design I've seen yet. Can I download some plans from you? You have to be a carpenter by trade? I bet your boys love going out on the boat.
Where did you get the diagram for your houseboat. I been looking but I have not found. I like this design and not platoons. Please let me know where I can find your plans. Thanks
Curious about the roofing. How far apart are the 2 x 4 rafters, what thickness plywood, and what did you waterproof and cover it with? Is it designed to be walked on?
Music isn't necessary. I want to do this but have no place to put it while I build it. How much time did ur take you to finish it total?also how much money did it cost for the supplies?
How deep did you make the base? I am preparing to build a 8x16 small houseboat and I am not sure how deep to build for the weight. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Tku
Could you list the products you used? I know you showed him in the video but there's no way to stop the video and zoom in on what the containers to see what the products are or how you use them exactly. It would be great if you do a video on the products you used.
Cheap pine framing, waferboard gussets, Internal moisture will destroy that construction in a very few years. Its fine to have marine ply hull but take it from a boat builder experienced in repair work for forty years humidity inside creates the most damage to framing not the hull.
@@edyrud2445 Never used cedar myself, other than canoe planking. Its soft especially white cedar so doesn't hold screws well , fibres crush. Cedar also has natural resins although white or eastern cedar has far less than western red cedar which help against rot but prevent most adhesives gripping well. Just not a framing choice up this way. I will add I have seen many a cedar plank boat rotted as well. Wish we had cypress up this way but white oak is the best we have locally for framing .
@Dani Hope In what world is a WOODEN HULL, made of fkin PLYWOOD "sturdy"? xD There is a goddamn house on top of that hull, ONE SINGLE POINTY ROCK is all it takes for it to sink. What do you mean... "Sturdy"?
@Dani Hope Fiberglass is okay, i guess, but whatever they used isn't NEARLY thick enough, considering the weight of the whole thing. The hull is still incredibly fragile, if that thing bumps into ANYTHING. The weight of the house, will ENSURE the hull breaks, immediately.
@Dani Hope The thickness of the plywood, is fkin IRRELEVANT, lmao. And no, a PROPER boat, does not sink if it "hits anything"... "What ever kiddo. If you don't believe me look up how boats are made at home." Homemade boats are precisely the problem, dipsht... A carpenter you might be, but a shipwright you are not, "kiddo"...
@Dani Hope "what crawled up your ass???" You did. "But who really cares what they have done it's theirs do to with what they please." And i warned them... Is there a problem? "Plus I'm 25 years older than you so yes you are a kiddo to me!" You have no fkin' idea what my age is, you condescending know-it-all. "It's a freggan house boat." Exactly a person is meant to LIVE ON it, it's meant to carry important belongings. So it's doubly important that it's sturdy and doesn't sink, even if you didn't dock the housebat correctly overnight. A boat should only sink if you handle it CATASTROPHICALLY wrong... But that boat is gonna sink at even the SLIGHTEST mistake. What the fck did you think saying "It's a freggan house boat" was gonna do, exactly? Refute me, somehow? ._. "You really need to take that massive wedgie out of your panties. Mello out." When someone patronizes me, i no longer respect them. Word of advice, a-hole... It doesn't matter how old you are, calling someone "kiddo" is condescending. I will rip you a new butthole, if that's what it takes to teach an old dog some humility.
@Dani Hope Well, i guess you truly can't teach an old dog new tricks, then. You thought that was a good thing? It's sad to think that you're stuck being a condescending prck for the rest of your life, it's not something to be happy about. : /
Like that you involved your kids good Dad reminds me of my dad lol 😂
I would love the designs for your build esp the details of how constructed Hull and sizes etc
Nice Build ! You must have some pretty good neighbors ! That put up with all the building in your driveway !

awesome build. I'll be starting mine in the next year or two. always good to see other people's ideas.
Incredible! I am not much of a handyman but I am thinking maybe I pay some of my family members who are!
Bet it drove your neighbours nuts having to look at that in the driveway the whole time! Pretty cool build!
Have you done volume 2 yet? I’m anxious to see it finished. It is really nice!
Lisa Hancock Guthrie there is a volume 2 and 3. If you subscribe to the channel you can see all three.
Great job, Lord willing I will be starting mine very soon.Can you please do a new video on the water would love to see it

Had to reupload, didn't know I can't use just any music I want. Lost all my views but I'm not doing it for views anyway lol.
Is this boat for sale?
NO music is necessary. That's where your Dislikes come from.
@@gordbaker896 not very hard to mute a video...
How wide and long is your boat?
Inspiring dude sweet boat !
Very nice work mr rud
wow thank you for sharing your build very nice job guys
Great job Edy
I am also interested in a copy of the plans. Can you post where you got them, or are they your design?
Good video. I want to build a house boat as well
Nice little thing...:-)
Your neighbors probably love you like mine love me😂😂. And we have 2 acre lots.
nice job guys! please video on the water ^^ congratulations!
Hey man do you have plans for this boat ? if so were can i get ?
Amazing
Awesome just subbed!👍🏼
amazing
Oh great build!!! 🤪
Bravo!
great video, how much did it cost you?
What did you cover the wood with?
That thing must weigh a hell of a lot. Any idea of the weight/dispacement?
question where do you get the Hull? is there a place to buy premade hulls ?
Very cool! Thanks for the inspiration! Whats the music you got going in the beginning there?
Hey do you think a couple inches of cement in the bottom would take out most the rocking?
It dosnt rock very stable

Daamn I bet the neighbors can stand him selfishly display his home just
Music isn't necessary. I want to do this but have no place to put it while I build it. How much time did ur take you to finish it total?also how much money did it cost for the supplies?
Please give information step by step.. That would be great for viewer's knowledge. Thanks
How deep did you make the base? I am preparing to build a 8x16 small houseboat and I am not sure how deep to build for the weight. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Tku
I have a 10' x 23' by 2.5' deep.
Google calculate buoyancy and try some of those links,most just need your dimensions to do a pretty good estimate
When can I move in⁉️⛵️👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Can you move a 10' wide trailer without wide-load permit?

You showed "them" in the video. Not "him". Stupid audio text.
And how was it on choppy waters
hi mi friend you are my hero do u know how much you spend in materials
Looks like you didn't wet out the wood before you applied the fiberglass. You've built it way too heavy for the size.
how much did it cost?
How much did the bottom cost itself?
Why did you show us a bucket of sawdust? (Woodflour).
i mix it with epoxy to create a strong bondo type putty/filler.
How did it float
Hi Ed,
Are you still doing this type of work?
Something tells me the stupid home owners association would be tripping out over all this
What happened to the background music? it’s like listening to a memorial.
whose music is it?
Question.... what is the wood flower mix?
wood flower with epoxy
anyone from india??
let's make one in our country
Any chance this is for sale?
What state are you located? text me 509-981-9503. i do not look at comments much.
I bet youve learned some hard lessons... all wood and glass.. eeek.
Cheap pine framing, waferboard gussets, Internal moisture will destroy that construction in a very few years. Its fine to have marine ply hull but take it from a boat builder experienced in repair work for forty years humidity inside creates the most damage to framing not the hull.
its ceader frame.
i have the money to keep a boat builder like you buizzy whats your phone number?

That's a flimsy-ass houseboat. >_>
That hull is immensely fragile, lol.
