14 foot welded aluminum boat build

[@buckem858]

One of the nicer ones i have seen just a simple boat. I really like the way you did the hole thing. The floor everything is looks super clean. I was thinking about doing one myself. Really enjoyed this thank you.

[@multiplemyelomaigm8542]

Brings me back to building Cope boats on Vancouver Island, nothing like the noise of cutting 5 or 6 stacked 20' sheets of aluminum with a circular saw and an agressive blade. Great looking boat by the way.

[@EM-hu2bj]

Thanks! I’m building a cope winter harbour 23 right now! Also finally just got custom ear plugs which are totally amazing for that kind of thing.

[@multiplemyelomaigm8542]

@@EM-hu2bj I worked for Bruce Cope when Cope Boats was just 14.6' and 16'6 centre console boats. I remember building the first windscreen boat, great times. Cheers.

Thank you very much for all 4 clips from Thailand.

Very beautiful boats, my father used to build boats but of course I was too busy with more important things, girls ,to pay any attention to him,, after two divorces I would have probably been better off with a beautiful boat keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your knowledge.

hello friends, greetings to meet me from Indonesia. want to ask at the same time advice if possible???. why did you stop uploading videos again even though your videos are good and very good. my only suggestion is if you upload a video about making a ladi boat if possible up close and with parts, so we who are watching can learn from you and the video is closer, don't go far. thank you. sorry if i'm being presumptuous

perfect job my friend,water doesnt come inside the boat from welding places? it could be wery thin holes l think.

Looking for the same type of boat plans maybe 10-11ft maybe not as wide. Do you guys sell plans and lofting plans.

Every part of you is seen to be doing this with great experience. What thickness of aluminum sheet do you use. Can you share a project for me to try to do in my workshop. I am writing to you from Montenegro.

[@EM-hu2bj]

Hi Dejan, This boat is made of 1/8” (3.25mm) 5052 plate, except the transom which is 1/4” (6.5mm). I am working on plans for this boat, and will have them available on my website when they are done. There are more details on the materials I used in the video description.

[@twistedjigco.548]

Ahhhh yes, I would love this for the rivers. What gauge do you use? Thank you

[@EM-hu2bj]

It’s 1/8”, with 1/4 on the transom. For a 60hp Yamaha jet I would do 3/16” for the hull bottom. Cheers!

[@twistedjigco.548]

@@EM-hu2bj thank you guys, what’s the best way to go about getting those meterials? Probably around $1000-2000 in material ?

[@EM-hu2bj]

There is a list of materials and alloys in the video description if you are interested. I get my materials from a Canadian metal distributor where I have a commercial account. There are also several local outlets in my area that sell to the general public for reasonable prices. Prices vary depending on your supplier, and current market pricing, but this build was just under 2k for the aluminum.

[@MrProxtor]

You taking apprentices who already completed foundations? exactly the type of welding work I wanna do!

[@EM-hu2bj]

Hey! Not at the moment, but if you’re ever on Cortes Island you should come by the shop :)

[@MrProxtor]

@@EM-hu2bj For sure! Might have to borrow my old folks 27 foot sailboat for a week on the water trip and come over there. I have a friend on Quadra I was going to visit once some of this pandemic starts to cool off. My home shop is slowly growing and I am making small aluminum frames for things to start, and if a real job/money comes along might be able to make a small bass/lake boat for a project. Just hard to get into a aluminum shop as a newbie to the trade when your pushing 40. But boat building is the reason I got into welding and outa IT/data analyst desk work. Decided to follow my heart.

[@EM-hu2bj]

@@MrProxtor I was doing web development before I decided I didn’t want to spend my life in a chair. I started small too, working out of an open car port for years.

[@MrProxtor]

@@EM-hu2bj That is awesome. Thanks for that comment, Makes me feel better with taking up this new trade and that I am not the only one. Everyone in my class were all young teenagers, 2 were even still in highschool. I only have a my Lincoln MP210 currently but I do have the spoolgun for aluminum. Steel im set, got my Rod oven, and a few spools for GMAW,FCAW, and a couple of CK TIG torches. Just gotta get a machine for AC TIG. Was thinking of the Squarewave 200. Curious as its hard to tell in time-lapse, Are you using pulse on the spool gun?

[@EM-hu2bj]

@@MrProxtor yep, single pulse for most of it, and pulse-on-pulse for the areas where I really wanted to keep the heat down. I started off with a millermatic 211, so pretty similar. I’ve got the squarewave 200 as you probably noticed, and it’s a good machine, although I could use more power. One day I’ll upgrade to a Dynasty 280 😁
