[@worldboatskiff8709]

Glad you enjoyed

[@labtrainer09]

Even though I'm a subscriber and had set up an "alert" for your new videos, I never knew about this series until I stumbled on it this morning. I'm really glad I did. In my not-very-humble opinion, EVERY amateur who's planning to fabricate a console, a seat base, or a deck box for his/her boat should watch this series first. Like all your work, this build is professional, careful, and thorough. About five years ago, when I built a console for a client's 16' Carolina Skiff, I used a virtually identical process, and it worked out very well. Literally the only difference was that I bought MDO that was finished on both sides. I can't wait to see what design you choose to build next. Watching you work in your shop is a privilege and a pleasure. Best, Chris

Chris , thanks so much for the kind words I know of your professional status and I am honored by that. I am standing on the shoulders of giants of the men that I learned how to build a Skiff in my little Community in Houghs Neck Quincy, Massachusetts and I have now sold building plans to many people throughout the world so they can get on the water. I have looked at all the designs that you have suggested to me but I do not have the garage space to build those beautiful boats.

Thank you for your sharing your centering technique I don't even want to tell you how I've been doing for 30 years, but I would have measured by default , it's embarrassing, amazing simple yet never occurred to me and I work in the trades, lol, you learn a little thing every video you watch on here, thank you for sharing.

[@worldboatskiff8709]

Thanks I’ll have to watch my video to remember what I did.

[@MichaelRodgers670]

I really have enjoyed this series. I live out in Saipan and I am looking for a boat to go back and forth from the small island inside the reef and maybe outside the reef on calm days.

[@worldboatskiff8709]

Thanks I’m glad you liked it.

[@jeffs5093]

[@mattevans-koch9353]

That is a good looking boat. You definitely need to make another one. Is the new owner going to install the motor controls and steering cables? Thank you for sharing. Have a great week ahead.

[@worldboatskiff8709]

Yes brand new 30 hp outboard. I will bring you along for a test ride.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

@@worldboatskiff8709 Looking forward to that.

[@hotshot902]

Do you think you could put a cabin on this boat? Something like a maine fisherman style, back to the seat where you put the center console. Steering station on the right side, entrance center or left side. Big enough for a bunk. Just trying to picture this in my head to see if it would work as a weekender, or travel the ICW. Any plans or line drawings like that available?

[@oneteamproperties2577]

where did you buy the centre console hatch boxes from ?

[@worldboatskiff8709]

Boatoutfitters.com

[@jamesgalligan3096]

I have the boat because Jerry is my dad’s friend

[@worldboatskiff8709]

You got that right James

[@equipementetoile4695]

Ton vidéo né pas complet why

[@worldboatskiff8709]

I don’t know

[@justinbiondi]

Protip with large holes saws (when you can) predrill the cetner hole completely with the same sized pilot bit. Use paste wax to lower friction. Works pretty good.

[@worldboatskiff8709]

I love pro tips thanks.

[@mick8669]

So when do we get to see the completed project with the motor and steering all connected?

[@worldboatskiff8709]

You’re right I’ll have to get on that
