I have gotten a great deal of joy and pleasure watching these videos. I want to build a boat of my own and and have gotten a lot of inspiration from your tutorials here. Also I love your shop methods! The way you dry fit all pieces to ensure quality work before epoxy/gluing together, perfect sir perfect! Also really appreciate the explanation you provide in these videos, it's helped me clear up some gray areas. Hope you put together more vids in the future. Thank you!

I need the exact same thing for my 65 17 foot Boston whaler. I use it to crab and duck hunt. Don't need anything fancy just basic console for steering and control's.

This has been a great video series. Your teaching style & video details are top-notch. I'd like to build a little boat, but I think a slight V hull would ride smoother & track better than a flat bottom. I realize your design goal is for accessing shallow water, but that's not so important in my area. I'm looking forward to seeing what your next design will be. Have you chosen it yet? Are you planning to make a video series of it too, or does it add too much time for you? Thanks for giving us these great videos. 👍👍

Thanks I’m just finishing up a boat that I just sold not sure of my next direction.

New subscriber here ! Have enjoyedwatch your skiff build series. Impressive skills you have along with attention to the finer 'finish carpentry' details. Quick question about you building the center console for the new owner. Does it change the boat planing characteristics due to a shift in weight more toward center ?

[@worldboatskiff8709]

No, the boat is balanced very well.

[@donfrazelle7752]

OK. Thx !

Why did you find it necessary to use duct tape to secure the dust collection to the track saw? Is it a defect in the track saw? I ask because I am about to buy one.

[@worldboatskiff8709]

I used duct tape not to hold the hose on but to hold it up out-of-the-way from catching on the plywood.

[@jaytrevino286]

what is the deminsion of the center console?

[@worldboatskiff8709]

18” wide 23” deep 38” tall

[@1Fine69c]

if you can afford anything from festool Im going to assume youve got the kind of money to just go out and buy a new boat lol.

[@worldboatskiff8709]

Actually I don’t own any festools I borrowed from my work.

[@1Fine69c]

@@worldboatskiff8709 oohh okay that makes sense. never had the pleasure to work with anything made by them.

[@kevinswanson3910]

What would the max hp rating for this boat?

[@worldboatskiff8709]

The new motor going on this boat is a 30 hp four stroke. I feel that that is maximum weight for this boat.

[@kevinswanson3910]

@@worldboatskiff8709 im going to purchase plans from you in the spring,can you give me an estimate for material cost?

[@worldboatskiff8709]

I think all in painted around $3,000.

[@kevinswanson3910]

How many hours did you take to build this boat

[@worldboatskiff8709]
