Hi Jason. So glad I got to see this boat build. Super collaboration with Mr A. I'm going to say go for another. This could be your calling. And talking of calling. Maybe missed a trick with the boat name. Should of called it the foreman. But now you have a name for the series of boats. Foreman 6, 7, 8 depending on your wonderful sons age and when the boat was released. Please keep up the great videos and look forward to seeing what's next. Take care.

( I used to work in a boat shop ether building boats or repairing them) take a look at cris craft boats the cock pit is forward of the moter plus with a back rest will do wonders!

Usually someone with ideas has fairly strong inclinations to want to see those ideas materialize. So they run with what they brung and suffer the consequences. However, they also learn if they have any passion for what they are doing. I myself have plans on paper for a small rowboat i hope to build and it might have been built by now except for a friend pointing out that it would be too heavy to be a dinghy for my sailboat. That is when i had planned to make it out of thin plywood.

Adding a bigger fuel tank in the front of the boat will help, but it indeed need some ballast as well. A forward waterproof hatch would not be too hard to install to allow for access to the nose area.. good for storage too, which also adds some weight.. A bigger motor doesn't necessarily need to be a LOT heavier, but it will be a bit, and will need compensating for in the front..

[@thargy]

Think you need some ballast at the front to trim it out. Defo before you add a heavier engine. This was such a fun build!

[@Dslots_]

Exactly my thought when I pictured a heavier engine, faster speed, some whiskey, and the first wake it hits. Loved watching this though!

[@SenselessUsername]

engine trim brings the bow down once planing

[@jonathanlodge4014]

the last thing this boat needs is ballast! The cockpit should have been much further forward - human ballast is much more effective as it doesn't add weight. At the same time it is in desperate need of some bouyancy - and some thought about drainage. Theres nothing much to stop it sinking atm!

We used to have 1,5 horsepower on our small pioneer boat. It was enough to lift the bow high into the air. We even installed a longer handlebar to be able to steer it from the middle of the boat for better weight distribution. It never went beyond water plowing, but it was fun enough.

And that's the best part. Have fun and enjoy.

In high school I built a Mini Max. I think I got the plans from Popular Mechanics. I only had a Johnson 3 hp. A good friend let me use his 5 hp. What a difference.

Adding a box to the rear of the hull will improve its handling lot, that is a box attached to the transom, slightly lower than the transom, but flush with the top, creating a step. Then add a 20-30 hp engine and you'll have a wonderful racer. And sand the hull and cover it with glass fiber and epoxy and you'll have a great two-person boat!

[@robertcringely7348]

I have built airplanes from similar materials. The technique there is to use a nailing or stapling strip made of a thinner plywood. You nail or staple through this strip (no epoxy between the nailing strip and the boat skin). After the boat epoxy has cured you can carefully pull the nails and staples, which aren't really needed for strength at that point.

Great boat build and excellent videos guys. If you do get a more powerful motor, you should check the weight of it compared to the current one. You may need to add some ballast towards the bow or it may just tip the boat up on it's transom. Perhaps you could put a hatch in the top between a couple of the bulkheads and turn it into a storage locker to hold some weight, even if you only put some stones or rocks in it as ballast. It might be a good idea to do this even if you just stick with the current motor.

[@jimmccorison]

The Foreman looks mighty pleased with the boat. With its 3.6 hp motor, that boat would be a great learning boat for The Foreman. You can just go along with another boat to accompany him. Of course, you'd start with some starter lessons with him in your lap steering.

[@chuckwagoncharlie1733]

Brilliant build guys. My only suggestion would be to learn about planing and displacement hulls. The reason being that a displacement hull won't plane no matter how big the motor.

[@deathcogunit106]

Sounds like a challenge

[@timflorance4544]

The flat bottom will have no problem getting up on plane. Check out ABPA runabout classes. Typically just a bit longer and narrower than this build. I used to race a class A runabout that would go about 55 mph with a 15 HP Outboard. Rather than a seat you would just kneel in the boat and you could bring your body weight forward to get it up on plane.

[@rikardstenroos8628]

I have been scouting around the internet the whole summer for anyone that shows how to build a boat from a-z and finally, I saw your project :) . Thank you al 3 of you.

[@danlebich]

this was an awesome video! I really enjoyed it! for the future project when u upgrade the motor, yall should add a fuel tank at the front of the boat (bow), underneath the deck. and cut a hole at the top for a place to refill the tank. this will expand ur fuel tank and add some weight to the front so ur not so nose high with the person and motor in the back. good job lads

[@jr3nton]

you could probably use a brass, or a statue figurehead as bow ballast, probably easier than putting it inside

[@WarriusZ3r0]

Great outcome for a 5 min planning/5 days build. You should consider adding 15 to 20 pounds on the bow in order to help with the balance of the boat, because all the weight is on the back with the pilot and the motor. If you use a more powerful motor, the boat will pitch up and you might end in the water with a crazy boat on the loose without a pilot to stop him before it crashes on the opposite site of the lake. I'm very impatient to see what you next boat build will be.

[@voornaam3191]

Yeah, a turbine engine of three thousand hippo power would be fun. But there is no water on the moon. How about the submarine conversion kit? That is 900 pounds of lead in the bow. Better have a PBD, you might need to swim a while back to shore. How absurd do you want those weird suggestions? Try a doughnut.

Also, if you do go to a larger power gas power plant, you'll need to beef up your transom and be more concerned about your transom freeboard height. Have fun!

Very cool. The fact you guys pulled this off in 5 days with literally no planning is crazy impressive. Now not to sound critical, but 2 things stood out to me. 1.)

The bottom back end of the boat is totally flat, which is unusual in a ship design. Usually it has a more barrel shape and I'm wondering if this design lends to the unbalanced feel.

So needing something able to handle upwards of 35hp that boat was up to the challenge. I've built hydroplanes also in my past and run them at antique boat and outboard meets or just on the river to test and tube a freshly restored Outboard. 😀 Was always great fun and a blast! Fastest speed ever recorded for myself with a 25+ hp engines was 61 mph and a whole lot of white knuckles as I was holding on for dear life. But it keeps you young and vibrant lmao. Love this project and it hit a soft spot with me personally. 1/4" or 6mm Mahogany plywood was my choice and 3 layers of fiberglass epoxy resin without the fiberglass matting. It turns the wood fibers into Woodglass at that point and makes it completely water tight and stronger than just plywood itself. Cheers guy's and stay safe. 👍

[@davemillan3360]

The flat transom that is submerged is creating a lot of drag. In going through the water the shape of transom is as important as the shape of the bow. If you look at other boats/dinghies the transom will actually be above the waterline and the hull shaped to easily expel the water. If you would extend this boat with a foot or two making the stern slope up so that the transom is out of the water you would already see a difference with that 3.5 HP outboard I think.

[@millenniumtree]

The transom bottom above water line is for displacement boats, not planing boats. Displacement boats can travel basically at hull speed only (which is a function of the length of the hull), and will be very unlikely to get up on plane without an extraordinary amount of power. Planing hulls are designed with transoms that cleanly depart from the water at speed, leaving a cavity below the water line. This prevents the water sucking them back to hull speed.

[@davemillan3360]

@@millenniumtree she sits way to deep at the stern for a proper planing hull. The transom is submerged and there is no cavity because of the low speed.

[@millenniumtree]

@@davemillan3360 yes, transom too deep because of poor center of mass. Planing hulls always have part of the transom underwater at rest. Look at any speed boat. And technically, with enough power, you can make anything plane. 3.5hp was obviously not enough to overcome the poor center of mass of this hull.

[@davemillan3360]

​@@millenniumtree it's not just a poor center of mass, the boat is overbuild and too short for it's shape. Adding more weight in the bow will improve it somewhat but not make it good. They could add a removable section to the back. That way they can take it apart for storage and moving it on land, and then bolt it together when launching.

[@crustycurmudgeon2182]

Watched Michael's videos first, mentioned you might need some ballast near the bow with a larger engine. As it is, just sitting in the boat it's practically up on plane already! Greater acceleration could tip the aft end into the water...

[@elelegidoriginal]

Not a bad first effort - the heavy rear-biased weight distribution means that the boat is up on a plane when it's sitting still in the water! For the next boat, move the centre of gravity forward and remember that the framing of a boat goes on the *inside* of the hull, not on the outside, where all it does is increase drag. Take a look at a few production boats and you'll see that smooth hulls are the name of the game.

Cocktail class boat, originally called a “skua” and appeared in Rudder Magazine in 1939. Usually had a 6hp motor. Nice build.

REALLY, .... a complete full woodworking shop, and that is all you can come up with! 🤣👍✌

[@davidcrofts5246]

Yea..... the Foreman is gonna need his own boat soon!! Or maybe a set of Father/Son Kayaks to start with!

[@69sound81]

Looks great! Just a tiny little tip. Try to give the boat a little more space behind you so it doesn't wanna "wheelie" so easily. Well, i guess that can be a little hard when you only have 8ft to work with, but you can try to and it will feel better in the watter

Beautiful work God bless you. Can you believe Noah buid on arc in 100 years. Very educational video. I hope in the future you can build a bigger one.

Fun. I feel you need a little ballast in the bow though.

Well done guys. Tip. Hull speed is a function of waterline length.
