Boy the comments on this are so demanding.... You've done a great job and most people should figure this out on their own. I don't know why so many people think that they are owed a tutorial and act irritated because "measurements" and "plans" are not given. Frankly you should sell them a plan if they ask for it. Well done you inspired me and I will struggle with the process. Cheers and enjoy your boating!!!

[@Odi00001]

Thanks man! That struggle with the process isn't half bad in my opinion, but at the same time I understand those who would like to have comfort of plans, so if I'd have them, I'd gladly share Cheers!

What a proper looking little boat. Nice job!

[@PainterD54]

That shot of the boat on top of that car reminds me of my 8 ft. duckboat on the top of my old Nissan two door station wagon. It got kinda scary heading to the lake doing around 65-70 mph on the highway. The wind sailing up the windshield of the car, under the boat gave it an airplane effect and made the car lose it's steering because it took all the weight off the front wheels! I immediately slowed down to get control of it! Be careful when carrying a boat on top of a small car.

Amazing that’s a great tutorial, the specs and size is up to the person but all the steps were there

[@kevinmencer3782]

Reinforce the transom, build out that middle seat as a box that you fill with buoyancy foam, and she'd probably take a 5 horse tiller outboard without even flinching.

Great job on the little boats can you give the dimensions of the parts that you cut out and you said something about the seat not being in the right position where would you locate it at thanks for sharing great job on the boat and the video

[@Odi00001]

Thanks Sides are 335x45cm, back is 105cm and seat is 120cm long. Seat position is ok, maybe it could go a bit more to the front, but even with four people on board it was still comfortable to row. Thing that i would change is the spacer on the front ( 3:35 ), it could be wider so the boat wouldn't be so pointy. Making this shape would be easier on kind of a frame, as seen on this cool video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2GtY2VugMtmrqs

hi just found this and its brilliant. just 1 question i cant find what angle you cut the nose anywhere in the video? or does it not matter?

[@Odi00001]

Hi, sorry for late answer, I think it was 25-30 degrees from right angle. Best to make paper model to see how different angles work.

[@hanoitripper1809]

Nice job , is it marine ply? Im thinking of making one also, how much does it weigh?

[@Odi00001]

No, standard waterproof plywood. Weight about 40kg/90pounds.

Im also looking to build a boat how much does it cost for 1m² of waterproof plywood 4mm ?

[@carlreinkemeyer3848]

did you do that with plans or just as you went

[@Odi00001]

I think I checked some dimensions on a plan like that www.dixdesign.com/dingplan.gif But didn't stick to them as I went with the build. If I were building it for the second time, I would build a simple frame based on some plan, bending sides 'freehand' for putting center bench and bottom 10 times was tiring.

[@jackcrossems]

I'm a bit late to the party, but what are the materials you used? How much plywood? I plan to make one of these for my friends and I

[@Odi00001]

Materials are shown on first slides, plus few recycled planks for benches. So three sheets of plywood. I wrote about thickness in previous comments.

[@user-ov4mk9ox8y]

Caught racing the SeaBus in Van. Harbour in my Bevin skiff: actually kept up for awhile. No sense of humour for those Port guys.

[@jackpike2202]

What thickness is the plywood used? Thanks

[@Odi00001]

5mm for sides and 6mm for the bottom, and as I wrote in other comment, 8mm for bottom would be better

[@mydenmel]

please add in to your discription box below the materials you use thinking of making one as well...

[@Odi00001]

Done

[@ivancastillo1449]

How many people can it handle? And what is the overall width?

[@Odi00001]

With two people it's very easy to move it around. Using this funny pair of wheels shown at 3:44 I can transport it alone. Also lifting it on cars roof is not difficult. Max width is about 125cm

[@Odi00001]

Sorry, I misunderstood you. It can take 4-5 not too big people.

[@roykexd]

How much did it weigh? Roughly?

[@Odi00001]

About 40kg/90pounds

[@roykexd]

How much money did it costs roughly to make this boat?

[@Odi00001]

About 300pln (80$ maybe) for plywood and epoxy. Most of the wood parts were made from some scrap laying around, paint was also some leftover. Buying plywood now and covering whole thing in epoxy, which I recommend, would be more expensive.

[@roykexd]

@@Odi00001 okay thanks :) I am thinking of making one too in the summer could you help me by maybe giving me some of the exact measurements you used for all the pieces you had to saw?

[@Odi00001]

​@@roykexd Writing all the dimensions would make a complicated plan, and if you change one thing, the rest may also need adjustment. The dimensions I started with were just sides height, total length and width (I have written those in response to HUX METAL WORKS comment. Other dimesions can be changed for builders liking. Your local standard plywood sizes also are important. You could actually build a boat like this or just a bit smaller with only 2 sheets of plywood, cutting one sheet into three stripes for sides and the back.

[@roykexd]

@@Odi00001 okat thank you verry much just one question how thick was the plywood?

[@Odi00001]

@@roykexd 5mm for the sides which seems to be ok, for bottom 6mm with more plys (heavier and stiffer) which is a bit thin, depending on users weight 8 or 10mm would be better.
