Custom Runabout

The building of a custom runabout barrelback.

[@jcat5150]

As a former cabinet maker, who's boat building experience consists of a single stitch and glue kayak kit, just let me say this is absolutely gorgeous work! Thanks for sharing.

[@PrinceKlutz]

In the early sixties, my parents had a 19' Chris-Craft Barrelback. We worked our asses off rebuilding it, then it got wrecked while on the trailer being towed to the have the new seats put in, but I'll always remember the good times we did have with it. Thanks for sharing, and hope you get a good return on your effort.

[@GoMiGman]

So what happened, did it get wrecked to the point where it was considered a gonner? What a shame if that's what happened. I hope it wasn't because it wasn't tied down!

[@staudtj1]

She's a Beauty! Real nice vid..... shows what kid of work and skills necessary to build a craft of this quality .... Nice Job!

[@Slumberjacksix]

Beautiful boat. Well done!

[@NYCBobby]

Truly masterful. Gorgeous beyond words.

[@polarbear9434]

Beautiful boat. I would love to buy one

[@DarkMatter-ob8uo]

Beautiful boat...Well done

[@EarlRausch]

Its not a pretty boat. It is rather a Beautiful Boat! What detail.and craftsmanship. We all should feel so inspired to make things of beauty.

[@yahatinda]

Nice finish job,great classic look.

[@locoslair]

Wow! Beautiful job

[@justinlamorie389]

Nice! I’ve built canoes and kayaks, would love to build a boat like this.

[@kevinlawson904]

Awesome job guys I love wood working and would love to build something like that but im sure I could even come close to that, I would love the plans

[@hellsbaby127]

That's something special, I started with wooden boats, then as most, ended up building grp boats, and hated almost every minute of it! "anyone can mould a grp boat but few have the skills to build a wooden boat"

[@md10591]

what a beautiful job . congratulations .

[@fletcher3913]

It's hard to think that you have so few thumbs ups and comments. You have a beautiful boat!

[@jimmichell3246]

beautiful boat, where I could get my hands on the drawings, I would like to make now that I start my retirement.

[@andrewtreloar7389]

Any chance I can get these dimesnions, drawings or plans?? Absolutely stunning!!

[@brandonlee8313]

BEAUTY!!!! so inspirational 🇺🇸👌

[@brinjoness3386]

12 out of 10 for the boat, minus 2 for the music= 10 out of 10

[@harryfinlayson9649]

Beautiful, craftsmen perfect.

[@KennedyFrota]

Gostei muito,show! Uma verdadeira joia em madeira, parabéns artistas de primeira linha mundial!

[@Colaaah]

That is absolutely a piece of beautiful functional ski boat artwork! Please have in it your heart to email me a copy of your blueprints. I'd love to build this! And believe me, I'll do it justice with have 2 trades in woodworking and construction so your name can be on a plark somewhere in the boat or on the rear cvoner or something. Beautiful work mate! 😎👍🍻😎

[@randomx4289]

Beautiful boat

[@mediumpimpn]

That's awesome.

[@pjwlk]

Awesome job. Thanks for sharing...

[@vanderjag]

i would love to be your apprentice...wow

[@anthonyxuereb792]

Top job

[@MilanDupal]

Great work!

[@toadjam12000]

Covering boards were originally a walnut stain over a red stain. There were never black from the factory.

[@GoMiGman]

I like how you altered the order of some of the top construction, perhaps to throw people for a loop as to how things were done? lol, I don't blame you. Also missed a few steps like the final solid piece of transom and some other things here and there. The design and shape especially the curf and curve of the hull at the stern and that shape of the transom is just outstanding. The music helps as well. Cheers.

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Nice job but get an Italian to do your interior next time,then she will be perfect!

[@medicolas]

It could sure us a classic pleated leather. I'm not a MINI Cooper fan, but the interiors they put in the clubman a few years back almost won me over!

[@thatdutchguy2882]

***** Give the interior of a Spyker supercar a looksy, they might draw you to the dark side of the force.

[@medicolas]

That my friend... is dead sexy! I love the exposed shift linkages and that steering wheel!!! The gauges are like fine Swiss watches. This runabout with that level of interior would be unbelievably beautiful. I totally understand period correctness, but the level of craftsmanship that went into the boat screams for the same in the interior. Have a great day!

[@AweSomo84]

Looks amazing

[@timneaves519]

I just saw something beautiful created,thank

[@jameslane9918]

👍🇺🇸 excellent job

[@pedrosilvaprado]

Beautiful, great! Just the upholstery could be better... Congratulations from Brazil!

[@knowsbetter1]

Mighty fine I'm telling ya.

[@terrysmith3051]

Very Nice video and sound track. Very relaxing. Thank you.

[@djtutty76]

Dreyn 77 I bet you don't get invited to many parties

[@dreyn7780]

Those party people were born before the A bomb and some people were unfortunate to be born after the A bomb and its changed the world! Deal with it! Social butterflies by now have realised they were completely wrong to destroy the children's future, now the children have grown up, they get to speak. Endless partying kills the children born into that craziness.

[@PeteM234]

So why is a boat steering on the right and not the left? Really nice build guys. A beautiful job. Will you take a check? Ha! pete

[@kierangreene6714]

Nice boat unlike the music that goes with it!

[@CamoShirt]

always wondered why the steering wheel was on the right in a boat.

[@westmonroe-r1v]

You inspire me must start mine

[@JohnKennedyRealtor]

Waaaao that’s a nice boat. Can you share all details with me. Plans, hardware etc...thanks in advance

[@MegaMouseSEC]

Nice build. Was it from a kit or just plans??

[@crimdell]

0:49 - Wow, that's a huge gas tank! 3:23 - Oh, that's why. Good call.

[@jenellemcguire9383]

Your covering boards came out nicely, Not green looking.. But did you stain them black like it should be? or cheat and thin down some black paint? seen that done far to many times.. and the upholstery could be a bit neater. Another question, is it an epoxy or 5200 bottom? hope 5200. skipped the bottom planking in the video

[@findvoltage]

you would do well to learn some manners.

[@jimmygrant3212]

Michelle Ross looks like they painted the covering boards which are not supposed to be black or dark walnut. The dark walnut is for the 20’s and early 30’s boats.

[@diegoantoniosanchez4439]

*impresionante* !!!!!! Comercializa los planos y el proceso constructivo? Saludos

[@TIMEtoRIDE900]

Because you yield "right of way" on the water It matters more in a cabin cruiser

[@colinstohr6063]

nice boat mate

[@pat5986]

magnifique!!!!

[@Alexsander998]

Good work!!! But,how many time to need for that project?

[@kirbyyork7669]

If I built this boat, could I use a jet drive instead of a propeller?

[@paulh7589]

I appreciate the wonderful woodwork (and the great music). I fish in the gulf quite often.If you were 30 miles out would you rather have a wood boat or a fiberglass sandwich hull? Wood boats are beautiful for lakes and rivers and I love them, but you have to think about your passengers safety.. I have to think about safety all the time as most folks are idiots when it comes to being on the water. Sorry if I came off a bit harsh.

[@randycarlock341]

Paul H what would you be doing 30 mi out in a runabout?

[@deanhoward1374]

Wooden boats have been at sea for quite a few years. You can have the strongest Hull in the boating world but if a hose splits or a skinfitting fails... wood or GRP it's sinking.

[@Paha480]

Круто! 5+

[@Lexxx-i6r]

Крутяк :)))

[@TomasAWalker53]

Like pieces of funiture or a grand piano.

[@karavoznaks]

You still doing custom builds?? I am very interested

[@tobinprowant10]

I'm just so curious about how much a boat like that cost?

[@claudiosanti8069]

davvero bravi!!!!

[@musmusmeong]

God

[@Vintagecraft13]

We took the measurements off an original Chris-Craft barrelback.

[@guitarboy646]

nutzlooby is there anyway you could send me some measurements for building one of these

[@milosspasic9856]

I am from Serbia, how can I get a precise drawing of a boat

[@mattrajh7049]

what kinde of wood did you use? is it possible to get plans?

[@pshnazzle]

what is the asking price for this boat? If it isnt still for sale, do you take orders?

[@philv2691]

is it still for sale? I tried your website listed at the end of the video but says it does not exist

[@Vintagecraft13]

the planks are all african mahogany. this boat is actually for sale right now.

[@joevald3]

You imagine loving to go to work everyday

[@MalachiJacobs.]

Were did you get the bout plans or what are the boat plans

[@xanderpinero]

Great build+++ What kind of wood planks did you use if you don't mind me asking?

[@davidmendes1039]

[@davidmendes1039]

[@shekakargbo3420]

I will try to build it

[@АндрейБашавец]

Доброго времени суток ! Меня зовут Андрей! Я с РОССИИ возможно вы о нас плохого мнения как о стране..Но я простой трудяга из деревни которая находится на северной реке Сосьва. С детских лет на реке и на катерах ходил как с дедом так и с многими мужчинами нашей деревни. С того момента как первый раз увидел катер RIVA зародилась мечта построить такой же катер Мечтаю уже всю сознательную жизнь. Мне 43 года и дети мои тоже ждут реализации нашей общей мечты...Помогите пожалуйста с чертежами подобных лодок. У нас в стране подобные чертежи найти невозможно.Прошу откликнитесь кто может. С уважением Андрей. Спасибо вам уважаемые люди Америки.Сильной и достойной нации.

[@MrVyatheslav1]

Уважаемый Андрей рад что Вы мечтаете о своей лодке. Похожие лодки в России строят, а с чертежами это вы зря они стоят дорого. В СССР была лодка "МИР" Издательство ДОСААФ от 1957 год. очень похожа только из чего будете строить если у них это красное дерево то у нас его в магазине не купить. Я строю в основном яхты из стекло пластика низ, а из фанеры верх. Ничего вроде не плохо выходит. Если что надо обращайся. vk.com/vsemparus

[@АртурМалец-в4ч]

привет Андрюха ) тебе стоит меньше смотреть ящик )

[@allesleiwand]

[@valeratahoe742]

It's not a video. The music is dreadful. Your interior looks like you found a couch on ebay and put it in the cockpit. Delet this
