You can build your own boat using our plans and instructional videos!
These stitch and glue boat plans are for a light, compact and stable solo skiff to access shallow water. The solo skiff plans include full size templates of each part for you to trace and cut out yourself. They also include detailed assembly drawings.
The boat combines the features of a paddle board (SUP), kayak, and jon boat to deliver a multi-purpose boat that can be handled by one person.
This small skiff can be built in roughly 50 hours and costs less than $1000 in material!
These plywood boat plans perfect for a first time builder with basic carpentry tools. It can be paddled or powered with a trolling motor or 6hp max. The 6hp cruises at 15 mph.
The FRS-12 boat plans come with full size patterns, which eliminate measuring, lofting and all guesswork, and are available for purchase on our website.

Want to build one of your boats but don’t like the wood idea would the same processes apply if I switch out the wood for composite board?

@saltboatworks1139 5 лет назад

At this time, we don't have any plans for composite. But to answer your question, yes you could use the same concept. However, you may have some challenges keeping the composite core from deflecting while you build because it is more flexible.

@craigmonteforte1478 3 года назад

Does that make the boat a Wood Core boat that often rots from the inside? Or is that more In using Fiberlass resin instead ofthe Epoxy ?

@saltboatworks1139 3 года назад

A plywood hull with epoxy is very different than a vinyl-ester or polyester hull with plywood used in it. Marine plywood and epoxy boat building is used by some of the most prestigious custom sport fish builders, and when done correct will outlast and outperform other materials. However, most folks are familiar with rotten transom, decks, or stringers in boats with some age. Over 90% of those boats came from a mold and use an 'ester resin, which is not an adhesive (like epoxy) and thus makes a superficial bond with the wood.The problem is that the glass and wood de-laminate over time as the the hull flexes and moves, hairlines cracks in the glass are created and let water in. Coincidentally, these cost cutting manufacturers often use non marine grade plywood and drill holes and screw things into the wood without sealing the exposed wood. This is a recipe for disaster, but they built and sold the boat as cheap as possible... I have no respect for that.

@Pynenberg3 3 года назад

Typically you only need one layer of fiber glass. He also did one layer on the inside. The seams of the wood like the keel and where the sides meet could get two layers of 3-4" wide fiber glass tape if you wanted to go over kill.

what type of epoxy

@HighGear7445 11 месяцев назад

Concour on laying glass first. Also I use low visc epoxy and slow hardener. Something of that size takes two people wetting out and one person making up small batches as you need them. Temperature effects how well and fast the glass absorbs and I generally try for low 70's. . Too warm and the epoxy sets up to fast and to low and it's difficult for the glass to absorb in a timely matter. Your under the clock glassing and you have to keep moving. Also after it's absorbed you want to remove the excess with a scraper (called a bondo scaper) otherwise you can get runs. Also use a heat gun to release trapped air bubbles. There's a lot more to it then your video.

@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 3 года назад

Don't worry about imperfections. I found a finishing bondo at NAPA that will fix before your final final final final sanding and gelcoating.

@saltboatworks1139 3 года назад

Be EXTREMELY careful with non marine products. Some products have incompatible curing agents or solvents or will fail if exposed to water. In our experience bondo is one of the products that does not hold up well over time. We recommend using a marine fairing putty or marine glazing putty.

@saltboatworks1139 5 лет назад

@The Mystic Ruler The epoxy later in the video has an additive mixed in known as "fairing filler". It makes it easier to sand prior to applying primer.

@BigFiveJack 3 года назад

Please - At 2:36 - WHY do you apply epoxy to the entire outside surface of the boat before you fiberglass the outside surface of the boat?

@samuelmuldoon4839 2 года назад

I am not sure, but I think it is so that the fiberglass will stick to the wood. Essentially, the epoxy is gluing the fiberglass onto the wood. The epoxy was still wet when the fiberglass cloth was laid on top. If you let the epoxy dry before putting the fiberglass on, then I don't think that the epoxy would do much.

@mikejustice1196 2 года назад

Fairing filler? Was it cabosil?

@paulbriggs3072 Год назад

NO! You would never be able to sand that. Use West System Microlight.

@Lchop 4 года назад

Might have been easier to lay the glass out then let the resin soak through. Quite tricky putting it on when the resin is tacky. Well done getting it done regardless

@saltboatworks1139 4 года назад

With wood core construction it is important to have a good epoxy bond between the wood and glass. Therefore we coat it prior to laying glass. We fell any extra work to lay the glass on wet resin is well worth the confidence that our bond to the wood is as strong as possible.

@robertcain3426 4 года назад

@@saltboatworks1139 As a surfboard Glasser for many years, applying glass cloth to a foam blank, apply the he resin by pouring it on and spread it out with a sweet. As for not getting the resin through the cloth onto the surface of the wood, you can see if that happens. In any case the cloth floats on the resin which is why applying too much resin will cause the cloth to float to the surface of resin. If you are worried about the wood sucking in the resin and causing the laminate to be starved of resin, you should apply resin coat first, letting it gel and do the cloth layup within a few hours. I'd also lay the glass down one side overlapping the keel line by a couple of inches without any cuts. Do the same for the other side. You will find you have double the thickness of glass on the keel this way.

@brinjoness3386 3 года назад

don't apply glass to bare wood. the wood will suck the epoxy out of the glass as it dries. Best to apply 1 or 2 coats of epoxy and then add glass and epoxy.

@robertcain3426 2 года назад

You need to need to learn how to laminate. Watch a surfboard laminator, they laminate many boards a day professionally. There are many ways to 'skin a cat' but this way, the way you have applied the cloth is just made the job more difficult. You should run the width of the roll down one side of the bottom of the hull lapping the centreline and over the chine by at least 2 or 3 inches or more depending on the width of your cloth and the bottom half of your dingy. Repeat for the other side. Last, do the sides letting the cloth overhand the chine again. This way you have double over both your chines and keel line. If you think it's necessary to coat the ply wood first, themn let it set and then lay your cloth down and wet out over it with a roller or squeegy or with just a squeegy. You don't have to take the cloth off and make a difficulty of placing it back on. In life, we are always learning.

Why only one layer of glass? There is no way that would be strong or safe enough. Should have been at least three layers, otherwise that ply will get wet and the whole thing will be useless.

@saltboatworks1139 4 года назад

The main structural support is in the wood hull, the glass is to seal the wood and provide abrasion resistance. There are countless boats built with this method and no issues for many years. The use of epoxy resin which saturates the wood (unlike poly or vinyl ester) marine grade plywood make a very strong, safe and reliable hull.

@paulbriggs3072 Год назад

West System has documented boats built with one layer of cloth and epoxy that are over 30 years old and still in excellent shape.
