where can i get plans for a plywood boat and what is stitch and glue method for joining the wood? Why is quarter inch plywood to risky.How bout honeycomb method with quarter inch plywood sandwiched together with honeycomb structure in between. Also where can i get CAD viewer on the net.Can i submit a design to an engineer to test.Is honeycomb a proven method.I would like to make a boat about 12 to 14 feet long for fishing in lakes and able to attach at least a 9.9 outboard motor. Is fiberglass worth doing and how expensive is this technique.I thought I would use three coats of any kind of primer with three coats of marine paint or concrete (covering) paint on the hull or bottom of the boat.I was going to use brass screws also.I thought about using ribs and incorporate them into the seats to be out of the way.Also the seats would also substitute as storage boxes.I planned on making my own set of oars with three pieces of wood each.I also thought of attaching an upright seat to the bench type wooden seat I was going to install. Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!

Is epoxy absolutely necessary to waterproof a plywood boat and how thick should I make the bottom,flat part? I plan on building a plywood boat and will buy plans.But was wondering about the thickness of the plywood to use and can I just use regular plywood (exterior use type ) instead of marine plywood.And do I have to steam the plywood for bending into shape for the sides as the bottom will be flat?I plan to incorporate the ribs into the seats to cut down on the amount of plywood I use.I plan to use a thicker wood , probably planks or solid pieces of timber for the transom.Also I don't know if it is worth it to use epoxy for waterproofing the boat.I do plan now to use galvanized,stainless steel, bronze or brass screws.

Does anyone have any plans and instructions on how to build a small easy to make sail boat? My mate and i have been wanting to build a boat for a while now and want a boat that a 13 year old can make for really cheap. We want one that can go out on the bay and be stable.

So if anyone has any designs or plans (step by step instructions would be handy) that you think we will be interested in please send then to us.

What do you think is mandatory to have on a boat for a weekend adventure with Dad, G/F and a 10 year old girl? Hi! My b/f and I are about to buy a project boat and plan on fixing it up over the next couple of months. I'm trying to figure out what we need to stock it up to make sure everyone has a fantastic time for weekend excursions. The boat is older, but we're just planning on updating the cabin, it's a 24' boat with two bed spaces (plenty of room for us) and we'll be on a fresh water lake. My b/f has a ton of boating experience, I have very little and am just trying to find out as much as I possibly can. Thanks! Thanks so much. I already know what is legally required, I, however, am looking for what would be fun to bring aboard and have a good time. I know all the basics, sunscreen, life jackets, etc., I mean entertainment! Thanks again.
What length and weight must my boat be to achieve 50km/h with a 39-HP outboard Diesel? I am currently building my own boat. My plan is to find an aluminium hull, attach a 39-HP Yanmar outboard Diesel to it (available in Australia, in case you wonder if I can't spell "Yamaha" properly or got my facts wrong because yes, it really is a diesel, too), and put my own superstructure on it. It's supposed to be a commuter boat, a glider, with which I hope to cover 12km in an inlet every morning and night. It's salt water, usually calm as a lake, but can have a wind-induced chop of up to 1m at times. I'm grappling with the question now whether I should get the smallest possible boat (3.3m) or go a bit bigger to get better planing ability (up to 6m is what I was thinking). Thanks for your help!
