Great Alaskan 1.0

First video in a probably long series of video on building my 28’ Great Alaskan fishing boat.

Very much like a Tolman. Sort of bigger little brother…

I hit the subscribe button! I hope you don't come to regret building a Great Alaskan in such tight quarters.

[@rhenryinoregon]

I know. It’ll be tight. I have an option to expand if absolutely necessary.

[@forgot2be]

I greatly appreciate your videos, but please give us a little longer videos with more details

[@rhenryinoregon]

Thanks for the comment. I’ll see what I can do. The latest videos did a little more in depth on what I’m doing.

[@tomanderson3007]

Be sure your caster wheels are steel/iron, not rubber - else you won't be able to move things around once you get some weight on them. I learned that the hard way when I built my Tolman Skiff.

[@rhenryinoregon]

Thanks for the tip! I looked at weight limit but now I’m wondering. I guess I should replace them.

[@tomanderson3007]

I would definitely replace them if they are not metal. Regardless of the weight limit if they squash down just a little bit you won't be able to roll it. Even tiny metal ones about 2 in in diameter are better than the great big rubber ones. Some of the nylon ones are hard enough to work, but I wouldn't chance it with the Great Alaskan.

@@tomanderson3007 yea, I think you’re right. I looked at them again and it probably would be a problem. I hope I can find the receipt for those six casters!

[@rhenryinoregon]

@@tomanderson3007 I have purchased metal 1000 pound casters! I will install them when I have the boat hull hoisted for flipping. THanks for the comment.

[@C-Henry]

Just don't use water soluble putty to fill the gaps and you'll be fine.
