Lets build a boat

Skybird · 06-03-22, 02:37 PM

There are many videos on youtube with shows like this. But this project somehow especially impressed me. I wish I had learned to do such things. Best thing I ever constructed by hand was a wooden christmas pyramide, though a bigger one. To turn scrap into a working engine and boat looks like magic to me.

Very nice, but i am all for sailing boats.
Apart from certain subs, of course

always thought it be fun to build a wooden sailboat or pt boat but with the prices way they are don't think it will ever happen

Now and then I use to watch people on yt build their own boat.

Here are some videos of such a build

And then it is this build of a runabout

This man here should have his own post I've been following his build from scratch.

Years ago my father had someone build him a thirty foot cabin cruiser which we would often take offshore for line fishing.

How could I forget the cabin cruise my father bought. He got it very cheap because it was a wreck-But my father was born with the right type of hands.

After two years or so-The boat looked like new.

It was a Classic Petterson boat

I can't remember which type it was.
