DIY Adventure Skiff Boat Build : PART 2

[@artbobik3516]

Wow - that place sure looks a lot different from when I went there around 1990 - it was a little building and I think a little farther North of there - As you can tell from my Icon I was a Sub sailor, both SSBN and SSN - I finished on a Sub Rescue out of Key West - that is how I wound up living in Florida since 1967 - I love your idea so far, I screwed up and lost my last boat of over 30 years and am thinking of building a new one to replace it but do not have the space to do it at home - I am been subscribed and following your builds for some time now -

its time to reach up an grab your dream an build it, no time like the present, forest has such a great way to go about easy builds

[@mauricewalle]

Yeaaaa buddy... Really like the pre boat build process. This always ensures you get the max out of any build.. The creative process is not something that happens on demand but evolves as we are inspired by other boat builds but sometimes random things.. Keep going buddy.. YEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Awesome video Forrest! Such a cool place to get ideas from! Can’t wait to see how this thing turns out! 🤙

[@zerofox7347]

I’d love to see inside that navy boat. It’s a huge hull I bet it’s got a lot of cool stuff inside!

[@chrisbrock6056]

Great to see the adventure skiff back!

[@diywaterworld]

Thanks Chris and right?! It’s been a min ! Stoked to share this build with everyone. Cheers!

[@kaisailor1]

Yep, Been there! I used to live at the other end of that Island. I really miss it there.

[@andrewjohnson6146]

That place looks awesome loved to visit it it’s amazing how those navy seals engineered those boats to fit their needs and they work building something like that would be able to withstand the harsh weather

I'm looking forward to part 3. Thank you

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

Looking forward to this project! I like the idea of the stepped hull!

[@AX01Adventures]

Sounds like another fun build, nice video showing the Navy UDT/SEAL museum. Tons of respect for those sailors. Aircraft style sheetmetal seats riding on suspension would be cool. You could use racing seats from Summit or Jegs and gas struts/shocks maybe. I love those aluminum boats, actually, I just picked up a new G3 1860 welded aluminum Jon boat. It’s gonna get a OMC sixty degree V-4 looper, 90 hp. Still looking for 50 mph in a skiff…lol

He's Back!!!!! been waiting on your vids bro keep the uploads coming!!! much love from Orlando!

[@CohlFam]

Forest did my first twin cam VTEC swap in my Honda Civic😂💪🏻 guy is a brain w anything he puts his hands on

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

Awesome! This is going to be a bad-ass skiff

[@fishkb1602]

You definitely need removable seats on this build and that sick paint job 🤙

[@deltabravo1811]

I'd build from scratch, long, narrow v-skiff bottom, reverse open transom, reverse sheer, low freeboard, outboard well, racing dingy style cockpit with wide gunwales for hanging off, similar to a Yukon 800 boat.

[@cbrusharmy]

That Hinckley, though: nice

[@ryanh.8896]

Brother!!! I can't wait to see how this one turns out!

[@jasonwoolard1886]

Dang!!.. u r back!!! Awesome !!

[@checkthewater39]

[@diywaterworld]

Haha. Do it! Thanks buddy, I hope you enjoy the build!

[@brionhannan1204]

GUNS!!!💪. Sailing from FL... you're good😜

[@diywaterworld]

Haha right on! 😎 I think you’ll like the end result!! Cheers!

[@jamesreed600]

My suggestion is a ponga style skip.

[@CALLMUAH]

Sick!!!

[@daveb1870]

Neat fact, the navy was doing step hulls as early as ww2 with the pt boats used extensively for testing and evals/sea trials. Its not a new concept it just took 50-60 years for the civi's to catch up.

[@sharifsalem]

Where is part 1?

[@jorgeperezdeprado8941]

Silent choice exshost system

[@RoycoNL]

at 14:45 that's a lot of draw! XD

[@russellhood2718]

Frothing at the mouth when entering a Navy base huh 😂 I'm still watchinv though

[@OldTimerGarden]

I'd look into the laws of the Bahamas before building a military replica boat. Some places even outlaw wearing camouflage clothing in their country. Always look into other countries laws because they often oppose our own laws.

[@bigfootz8090]

Put air soft guns on it

[@davescheer5038]

🌴 well Forrest that place will give you wet pants and not even being by the water , those boats are bad azz ! It’s great your getting your creative juices flowing, but remember while doing this your on s budget the military isn’t 😆 so your boat will be open hull design, it needs to be able to cut open water water , yet small enough to Cruz around inshore, the slide mounts are cool , D rings 👍🏼, explaining a replica 50 cal to the Bahamian water cops telling them it’s a signaling device 🤔 a smaller donzi cigarette hull would be a way to go , we don’t know what your budget is, this is going to be a great project, I hope you can give us a lot of video on what’s happening, are you building from scratch ? Would you consider doing a stitch and glue build ? I’m still trying to get my project nano skiff done , the weather is holding me back ( no it’s not I’m freak’n lazy !) 😆 can’t wait to see you build the boat ! 👍🏼

[@chriswilson8911]

When you going to build a boat totally from scratch

[@shender944]

If you build the machine guns they will need to shoot water !!!

[@melvinrawlings1457]

Did not like this video. Def wasn't a fan of it and would def prefer less talking and more productive work and explaining as ur building instead of the way u did it in this video. Still love what ur doing on the channel. But anyways keep up the hard work and dedication and much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤
