The V-Bottom Skiff is going out the door! In this episode we put on our final coat of TotalBoat Wet Edge topside paint and also a final coat of Spartan Red bottom paint. This has been an amazing build and it's been so fun to share it with all of you. The boat is headed to the outboard motor shop to have the engine mounted on the transom and then we'll get her back, oil the interior and put her in the water for some sea trials in Rhode Island before delivering her to her new home in 10,000 lakes in Minnesota. We want to especially thank TotalBoat and everyone else who helped make this build possible.

She is a beauty sir. If fuel ever prices itself out of existence you can put leeboards on and it'll be a dandy sailor.

I’m on my ninth can of beer this evening folks so, please forgive me for spouting off. I have so enviously followed Lou building this boat, dreaming about living aboard while, cruising the great loop. Facing the fiercest of weather along the intercoastal, the Great Lakes and then leisurely floating down the Mississippi and into the Gulf of Mexico only to do it all over again. I sensed how proud Lou was of this boat and it’s design and it’s construction process and I just drooled over it. I commend him on his accomplishment!

@SMKreitzer1968 Год назад

That has turned out fantastic Lou! Great work.

@paulcarlsen4088 2 года назад

I got into into boat building just recently-about four years ago, I built my first rowing skiff. I applied way too much epoxy, and had many other “learning experiences with that. I then built two stitch and glue kayaks, a teardrop camper, and now a sailing dinghy. It is truly an addiction. The only problem that I have now is I am living in landlocked Idaho. Lakes are now boring to me. Being close to retirement, I see moving from here. Call! And another problem I have is one cannot find marine plywood in Idaho. I don’t like to build with construction grade plywood.

exciting stuff Lou!! cant wait to see it on the water!

@stevewaterhouse3025 Год назад

Hay Lou, love this boat! A big well done from NewZealand! It's just what I need to pull a few lobster pots and get after some ground fish! It's a wee bit big for my needs, (launching from the beach), but I have already started gathering materials for a 19 or 20 ft version. With all other dimensions being identical, will this sit in the water ok being shorter? I think you have covered this in a past video and it will be just fine. Looking forward to the Orca project !

Why haven’t we seen this darn thing on the water yet!? Did something bad happen???

@billbaker9623 2 года назад

Lou, you have created beautiful craft. Can't wait to see her in the water. Just as a matter of curiosity, how do you think she would perform with a center console? i can see her making the run from Florida to the Bahamas.

@shoresharp8349 2 года назад

She looks good Lou , will you finish the sole boards in the bow and stern?

@peehandshihtzu 2 года назад

After Lou's description of that boat I'm curious if she has a single sister, LOL. For real, what a gorgeous creation this is where you can't find the line between function and form. I've learn so much here and have loved every minute of it, thanks Lou! :)

@harveymcfuddlestein5575 2 года назад

A work of art, Lou. Gorgeous. You inspire me to be a better craftsman and teach me things with every single episode. You are by far my favorite YT creator. Thank you!

@dwaynekoblitz6032 2 года назад

It's actually quite sad that you'll never make another one. When that's the only boat in the world I wish I owned. She's absolutely beautiful! I'm so envious of the owner. This has been the best boat building series ever on any channel.

@mikearthur8993 Год назад

the beauty there is Lou has done all he can to empower you to build one for yourself! go get it sailor!

I have been watching your channel for years and it inspired me to build a ply on frame boat I built a Spira Kachemak design and have been enjoying it for years Thanks for this inspiration You are a great craftsman

@Finn-McCool 2 года назад

What a journey. It's interesting to me that you will never make another boat like this one. However as a lifetime of furniture making has taught me, it's not custom if you make more than one! 😉

@ZacVaper 2 года назад

Any bracing going in between the stringers and transom to help support the engine? Love the boat.

@markturner9293 Год назад

I've missed the putting the boat in!! Is there a clip showing how it went on water?

@KeefyKat 2 года назад

LOL, That 3D animation at the end threw me off! awesome.

@sil2005 Год назад

absolutely beautiful sir you are a true craftsman!

@robinhodgkinson 2 года назад

I built a small framed V bottom skiff a few years back - on YT. Loved it! Loved building it so much I sold it and now almost finished building a 21’ folding trailerable trimaran. But for this one I went over to the dark side. It’s an epoxy/pvc/fibreglass sandwich construction. Light but strong. Modern design modern materials. She looks fantastic. And will sail beautifully I’m sure. But I gotta say I much prefer building in wood. But had I built it in wood it would not be half the boat this one is. Boats, they’re always a compromise, one way or another.

It has been our pleasure to help and follow along with this incredible build!! Amazing work, Lou!

@larryg.4398 2 года назад

I’m glad Total Boat has helped Lou with this boat. I’m hoping to build a boat and plan on using their products

Lou I love your passion ❤️ great build as always

@raytheron 2 года назад

Oh, Lou, what a beautiful thing you have created! And it's absolutely wonderful to share in your pleasure; to see a master craftsman and his work is always a joy. I feel especially privileged to have my name on your Patreon board and to have been able to follow the creation of this masterpiece.

@stevenrgates 2 года назад

It's encouraging to watch your craftsmanship come alive. A wooden boat is on my bucket list. Unfortunately my bucket has a hole in it but as soon as I can I'll plug it.

@oikkuoek 2 года назад

It is very nice, but I spotted the bit where the perpendicular boarding has it's weakness. It's 3-5 feet forward from transom, where it should lean against the wake there is slight indent. Straight running boards with framing you can shape that to more spoonlike for more efficient hull. Lou's hull although has it's stability on it's side, but needs a lot more motor.. Thank you, Lou and the Crew! The spark of inspiration has ignited! Can't wait to see her in waves!

@Stan7670 2 года назад

Just beautiful!

@Vendelcrow1948 Год назад

Hi there from Sweden! Fine videos, very instructive too !! Its common here to use keel iron, i.e a band of metal under the keel, from the bow to the stern. My open clinkbuilt, wooden double ender, 7 x2 meter,have such a band, three mm thick stainless steel and slightly wider than the keel plank. It spares the keel, since wood is strong lenghwise, but less sideways, and its impossible to avoid touching stones,etc when landing here and there....So this steelband spares the keel. Is keelband common where you are??

@sanchezshots Год назад

The beauty of self designing a boat is looking forward for her performant ! GOOD WORK.

@TheDan7004 Год назад

Wow! Looks amazing! Is this your favourite boat you have built?🎉

@vitofish961 Год назад

Lou it's a beast. 👍 Question: what is the best chaulk to use on a juniper planked skiff, with oiled interior that will live on a trailer after 16 years of summers in the water. Thanks

@reTool462 2 года назад

What a truly awesome creation. To have the skill to make something like that is brilliant. Have to say though, I am really looking forward to the orca build.

@alandunn5521 Год назад

Enough Suspense! Where's the 23 foot v-bottom skiff and when is it going to hit the water?! Want to see Lou zipping around the harbor in it.

@ramonschery6120 2 года назад

I will never get bored watching Lou's videos! That skiff is a master piece. But I'm a little concerned about there is no wood protection for the inside wood. Lou, will you oil the inside wood or use another product to protect the wood inside the boat?

@thomasarussellsr Год назад

She's a real beauty, Lou. Great job from design to fruition. It looks so much bigger out of the shop and up on the trailer out in the sun. I fell behind on watching videos as I helped my mother get through her first round of chemotherapy, but I can hardly wait to catch up some and see not only this beauty on the water, but where you've gotten to on your other build/s. Keep on keeping on, brother. God bless.

@gregoryh4601 2 года назад

Lou. That is one Sexy Fishing Boat. I would Pay to See this sweet Boat on Lake Erie on the Western side and catch Walleye around the Island and at West Sister Island To. Lou thanks for this Ride .

@FarlandHowe 2 года назад

@georgem8200 2 года назад

What type of outboard you slapping on there. I personally would consider a diesel for fuel safety and economy. Can't wait to see it in the water 👍

@Johnmcgovern54 2 года назад

Who bought it? And how much much was paid for it? Was it an auction? Pls comment on the terms.

@gnohn9366 Год назад

That’s a good sized boat. I wonder how much HP it will need.

@DM-pe2iy Год назад

I'd take that boat over a $20million super yacht any day. I love that boat.

@ptrollip1 2 года назад

@jamesmcnaughton5092 7 месяцев назад

Would be a great boat to rake clams out of if you could accept that it would get beat up while working out of😢 might be just too good looking to work out of
