Can you install rails like the nu-canoe has that way you can adjust your seat back-and-forth when u load ur boat with ur gear. Just a idea. Tight line. 😃
Well,,,, Looked like my normal adventure with a Kayak lol,,, staying upright and aboard was always a feat accomplished, LoL,, Hate ya lost the glasses they Proud Of those things when ya buy em , the Boat project is impressive , Hell I may have to give this a whirl myself just for the hell of it , all in all Good Job
@@mrtilley66 dang right you got lucky that time, I laughed at it cause it looked like some of my mishaps LoL 😂, Glad Ya Found Em, saved you a few Bucks for sure ,
@@mrtilley66 👍 I built a camper top from the same material and fiberglassed over. Have been living in it with wife and two cats. I actually want to build a catamaran 34 to 42 feet range, and quite often find myself toying with idea of utilizing that foam. Let's see what the future brings. I am not surprised that the boat is working fine 🙂👍
So I would've looked back at your video to see where you fell in, went back on the little boat with a net and maybe some magnets and tried to retrieve the glasses. But you can always order glasses online and get them the next day or even 2 days later.
Thats awesome! Makes me wonder how she would do with a 9.9 or so on the back. Would need a beefer mount but easy to fab something up. I am wanting to build a micro skiff also. But with a outboard on back and a bow mount troller.
You can go to WalMart or almost anywhere they sell glasses or reading glasses and get a sport leash for your glasses so they won't get lost. A couple of bucks is a lot cheaper than a new set of glasses! LOL
Question... Have you considered using a hot wire foam cutter to shape the foam? I think that would work to put outward angle in the sides. A quick way to dispose of a lot of excess foam and save a a load of sanding. I used that method to shape some airplane wing tips.
Hi John, i made a small hot wire cutter but found the jigsaw a lot faster and left a smooth finish, I could have cut the ribs at an angle and saved some time but I used a belt sander and 80 grit paper only took a few mins. to ruff sand it to shape then I used a palm sander and hand sanded easy to do with foam.
What are the dimensions ? length and width ? I'm planning on one about this size and have a 5hp and a trolling motor Want to put on it. I enjoyed the videos. Thanks
Hi P MC, it is 12' /39'' I have a 2.5hp but have not used it on here i would have to beef up the mount for that. I did go back and move the motor to the rear so it would turn better that helped a lot.
yep.......that is going to be a fine "RicSkiff"........like you said, plenty able and stable..........it seemed to float almost perfectly in that pond.........does that electric motor come in a larger model.....(more HP)?......4mph + is pretty good, but with gear, may be less. i really like the width and the way it sits in the water......standing by for part 6..........
@@mrtilley66 you are in a good position you can compare all the cool stuff twin troller, the hobie exercise kayak and a good old John boat. Are your pmf boats better? I have gathered up big pieces of the blue foam from construction jobs I'm on I'm going to gorilla glue them into bigger panels and make my own fish getting boat

Looking forward to the next part. Pretty cool project.
I have to say...awesome video. Glad you are ok. Loved the wife saying you have plenty of money not to worry about the glasses.
Rick, you could not see this but at my end I was holding a card overhead giving you a 9.1 of 10 for that swan dive! Gerry
You are getting there!
Yep my buddy wanted to send it into America's Funniest Videos. Bungee cord caught my shoe. when I reach down and undo it there I went

Hi PM,I will just put a small seat on the box lid that turns 360 deg. that is why I tested it today.

I found my glasses the next day with a dipnet on a long pole I got lucky.

Title should be,
Diy foam kayak, having fun in the pond trying to find the glasses.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cameraman cracked me up.
I got lucky and found the glasses, the boat works great I fish the salt marsh 3 to 5 days a week in it.

Hi Wil, I went back out with my dipnet on a long pool handle and found my glasses un hurt.
@@mrtilley66 awesome!
Good video guys. That's to funny 😂.

I wonder how fast you can get a foam boat to go safely. I'm toying with sticking my friends outboard on and seeing what happens.
@@mandrewsvideos most of the fastest boats are foam core. Needs fiberglass in right areas.
Well at least the boat floated. This video reminds me of "The Turtle Man" show. Try using a cast net.
8:00 LMAO
Alotta boyuncy🙂🙂 no stubulity🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
great video and think we can make money on you falling in the water. haha

Where’s the new video? Looks great so far

Hi Max, yes it comes in 55 lb. and 45 lb. I got the 45, 55 may have been better but pulls more power from the batt and more $.
Its a trolling motor going bigger wont up the top speed. All trolling motors are torque based not speed based.
Faster than mine
The boat is a success, the glasses salvage not so good.
Hi Ron,I did find the glasses later so I got lucky.
@@mrtilley66 my dad said sometimes its better to be lucky than good
