Glen-L Malahini build part 1

[@miketee2444]

That is a dam good job on a nice looking hull. I like the idea of planking the cockpit sole. The typical plywood floor with no air circulation ends up staying wet from day one. I don't care what product you try, wood with water sitting on it will soon fail. I like the subtle hook on the bow lines. Kinda has a hint of looking like Reggie fountains boats

[@simonjfoord]

Thanks!! That was exactly the reason I planked the sole with small gaps. Get water into the bilge and pumped out quickly. You are right the bow stem does resemble a Fountain powerboat - just wish mine would go as fast!!

Great build, great video, thanks for sharing. Oh, and I did build a boat trailer just like that back in 1971. Boat looks so pretty on the plane. Thanks again!

[@simonjfoord]

Thanks!

Wow! Nice job on that side planking at the bow curve. It looks really fair at the bow. Beautiful looking hull.

[@simonjfoord]

Thanks!!

@@simonjfoord It's tough to get the frames fair so the bottom sheeting is nice and fair. Most aren't and have to use a bunch of fairing compound to get it looking good. Your sheeting came out fantastic. I've built 2 wooden boats and know the struggle. Mine were an 8' and a 12' so not very big or complicated. Nothing like that beauty you built there. Great job.

Great video. Your work is very nice!

[@simonjfoord]

Thanks! Appreciate that

Man you move fast, seems like you just flipped it last week, looking great. i am hoping to have my zip on the water july/august ish

[@simonjfoord]

Thanks for the encouragement! Just got done with the electrics and finished the sub-deck last week, working on ripping and planing the mahogany planks right now. Hope to have mine on the water around September (in time for the Glen-L Gathering here in Tennessee). Always enjoy your videos - great job.

@@simonjfoord how Long did it took you to build the boat?

[@Ringele5574]

I'm curious as to the plywood you used to plank the boat. To my eye...and I'm no wood expert, it looks like big box store spf.

[@simonjfoord]

It is not marine ply, instead exterior fir ply. My understanding is the glue and laminating process is the same but greater risk of hidden voids. I sourced it through a local lumber yard, the quality is way better than big box store. I have built two boats using this quality with no problems so far. I inspect it carefully before installing.

Wooden boats and jazz , sure fire fish catcher

[@rjwintl]

Why not build it right-side-up like the Vikings did on modern day sawhorses ???

[@simonjfoord]

May just do that on my next build - just call me Floki...

[@jakestrickland1323]

How long did this project take? I've been wanting to build one of these for a while and I'm finally getting the time and money to do so but just wanted an idea.

[@simonjfoord]

About 19 months, of course it never really ends!

What paint for sides staining on kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoPVY5eZgtmFbpY?

[@simonjfoord]

Minwax water based stain - red mahogany as I recall. Need to let it thoroughly dry before coating with epoxy etc.

[@Menzonoid]

@@simonjfoord oh thank you, I doubted about the stain before epoxy very nice look
