Yep, I have too. It happened when chasing a fighter and my own ship was shooting at it. But I wonder why the leader here chewed out number 10 for shooting at freindlys-that being me I suppose being hit by his shrapnel.
eXcellent Video Sgt D, put me down for a subscription :) 👍21 Love that C model w the 4x 20mm Great ending views from the exterior has that gun camera effect.

Did you build that from a set of plans? I was in a home depot and saw 3 sheets of 5/8 roofing sheathing that were so warped and 90% off so I bought the 3 sheets and saw at a Lowes a bundle of 1"&4" and 1'&2" lumber that was 65% off and built a 20' tunnel hull plywood and wood johnboat. My dogs thought I was nuts until I put it together.
Great build. Nice application of the K.I.S.S. Principle! And you did it w/o plans. I'm looking to do something similar to down "weight" my boat. On a personal note, I would have switched paint colors w/the lighter grey on the interior and the darker color on the hull. I'd like to think that it could be hotter than BLEEP in the summertime. Good job!
Please can you email me your plans and measurements, everything don't have to be exactly right just a sketch pencil drawing close enough will be good enough for me thank you.
It cost about 700 bucks. I spent a week or so digging the hole by hand; I needed the exercise anyway, but I hit solid rock at 30 inches deep. It would have looked a lot different if I had been able to dig deeper. I am finishing up the wooden "garden shed" over the bunker right now. You can't even tell that there's a concrete bunker there.
This boat is still in good shape. Took it out a few times with an electric trolling motor. It plays second fiddle to my alumacraft/Mercury setup, so it sits face down under my carport out in back. Thinking of pulling it out and painting it green to cover up that ugly paint job I did on it. Been working on a wooden ultralight aircraft from Fisher Aircraft,for last few years, so boat building has been put aside. But this boat is staying in the family, never getting rid of it. Good solid little boat. The Game Warden who inspected it liked it, stamped and approved.
SGT D Always wanted to fly an ultralight or do some paramotoring, but not sure I’d wanna cut my teeth on a craft I built. I don’t trust my skills that much. Lol. Glad to see you still active here. I started a plywood bass boat about a week ago and keep coming back to this vid. Mine is inferior in every respect. I just don’t have some of the tools I need to make long perfect cuts, but I plan to use kwik wood to fill some of the dubious seams on the bottom, and silicone the inside. I also plan to use fiberglass fabric on the outside of the bottom like you did, but I’m not sure what to buy? What product did you use for this?
@@adammeade2300 For the fiber glass I bought what's called a: Mas Epoxy kit from Jamestown Distributors, and I also got the fiberglass cloth from them too. It's pretty expensive but hard as a rock. 'Mas' is the name of it. There's all kinds. As far as tools I didn't use much fancy tools, at the time I just had a skill saw and a drill and some sanders pretty much. I have a whole bunch of clamps. Didn't ever use any caulking or silicone seal. I glued it all up with either T88 epoxy or Tite-bond wood glue in places. Used plain 1/4" plywood and other wood I had around. Just painted the heck out of it. I would dry-fit something together, make sure it fit right, took it back apart and then glued it and screwed it back together. Dry-fitting first is important. I was wrong, I remember now, I got that epoxy from Chesapeake Light Craft. not Jamestown Dist. It's been a while. clcboats.com - good place to look at stuff for boat building.
SGT D Right on. You sure did well with what you had. I have all those tools, save the clamps, but think those are cheap as dirt at harbor freight. With my approach, the only angled part of the boat is the dead rise at the bow, and the sides curve in slightly at the bow, but the rest of it is essentially a box. I tried several different approaches with the bow but would always run into unforeseen issues with matching angles and such. Just need something to get me out on large ponds and small lakes until I finish my degree and can get a proper aluminum craft. Anywho, thanks for the quick answer and good luck with all your projects. Godspeed!
Thanks. I should fix the paint job so it is accurate to be red five, been putting it off. It’s perched majestically up on a high shelf in my woodshop. I have other hobbies that are colliding with eachother. It’ll be finished some day.
@@8311XHT yeah seriously dude it looks amazing, I'd love to build loads of massive starwars ships if i had the time and space, I've always wanted to build a at st walker about 5 feet high and paint a super detailed finish on it.
Good job - nice idea with the bolt-on jockey wheels ! How about superimposing the length, beam, weight, thickness & type of plywood ? Thanks for sharing your build !
Great little skiff, but I was wondering, how is it holding up for you so far ???. By now, I am guessing that you probably wished that you had glassed all the way up the sides of the hull, and also probably added an additional layer or so of fiberglass to the entire hull.
