WHAT DID IT COST? Custom 8m Plate Boat- DIY Plate Kit Boat Hull Build 

I've spent my whole life building things I could've bought. It always costs you. Though building your own isn't about saving money. The process, the learning, the project and the satisfaction keep me building. So good job. You could have bought one but you built one. Well done.

Almost all RU-vid channels are Full Of S*** with their sponsored boats. You have been completely honest and helped many people with your videos 👍😁

Excellent vid mate!! I have been kicking around this idea for a while and there are few things that you have been really helpful in clearing up. The reality of the time and consumables is a huge factor and has helped me make a decision to buy a nice secondhand and custom adding rather than full new build. I am keen for a project but the advantages are not reality for me. I am glad that they were for you it's a killer boat!! Thanks again greatly I feel this video has saved me a whole lot of money lol....maybe

Thanks so much. I’m a pretty handy guy and have the time and space but your honesty has changed my mind. Still looking for a 27ft heavy gauge aluminum fishing boat!!!!

Cheers for that. Appreciate hearing the honest facts

That’s brilliant, you cannot buy a boat of that size with that setup for anywhere close to that amount, certainly the way to go! What would you change now if you could go and redo anything?

Thanks for the epic video Matty!! One day when your in lockdown or the weathers shit could you please do a walk around of ya boat , I've watched all your build videos an would love too see abit more of it cheers mate

Great video bro. Amazing how it adds up so quick, I was shocked and the figure at the end. Fair call on the time factor too. If I was doing it and it was gonna take 4 hours it would prob take me 12.5hrs lol

Great video Matt! An honest representation of what it takes to DIY a boat…for that matter anything DIY. Costs aside, there’s probably the roller coaster of emotions of the build itself. Anyway, as stated great vid, that’s for all your videos as well.

Cheers for all the information love the videos

Can you build 3 meter boat like polycraft Tuffy and preferred to have full cabin with 3 meter size boat just my day fishing trip along my local area

Thanks for sharing your experience. Does not include shop rent cost.

I am from United states. I was wondering if the cost is in Australian dollar or US dollar?

thank you, by mater of speech, I will get you to make mine and pay for it, no problem and you will do by far, a far better job than me, I can lay "birdshits" for welds, thank you for a very interesting videos

Hi Matt, great video. Can you tell me the gauge of Aluminium used for hull (bottom/sides) pls? Do you see issues with 5mm bottom and 4mm sides? Thanks Tony

Hey Marty whatever the hell you do for a crust I want a gig doing that too🤘

Thanks Matty. Do you have any idea what the boat and trailer would have cost if you bought them ready made.

Ive done a thing. Everyone backs up
