Thank you. This boat has already been passed along to another Texas 200 club member. I have been messing around with a hobie cat and might make some new hulls for it. Then also thinking building something large enough to do some comfortable camp cruising in. Jim Michalak design possibly.
If the bottom of the cockpit was slightly raised above the waterline, you would get a self-draining cockpit. I have a similar vessel with 15 cm Styrodura and under the bottom, going through sea waves is a pleasure.
Excellent video, Will. If I may ask, was there an option to use aluminum tube/pipe for the amas? What are your thoughts? Thank you for putting this together.
Thanks Daniel. I believe the plans called for .065 O.D. Aluminum tubing. At the time of the build I was having trouble finding any at a decent price. Finally gave up and went with wood.
