How to make Watertight Seats on a Skiff PART_1

First part showing how I built the new watertight side seats on my skiff!
This is something I wanted to do almost as soon as I launched her after the initial build.
It should provide a lot more comfort on low wind days as I don't like to sit on the floor.
Also it will add even more buoyancy to the boat in the event of a capsize as well as reducing the amount of water when swamped. Hopefully as the water movement when swamped will be now restricted in between the seats the skiff should be more stable while bailing out.
Spring will come and I will tested it! 😁

Que barco bonito . Fodão

[@raytheron]

Bom trabalho!

[@buzzmenz8517]

Teo, I am planning on adding a bench seat between front and middle seats, but not quite as elaborate as yours...what are the width of your seats measured at where they meet the middle seat? Thanks for your videos. I have adopted some of your mods on my GIS.

Agora fica mais confortável até andar no barco!

[@macfarlanenz1]

Thx for the video. I only sail boats with side tanks re trimming and one's back. I need to send you ear muffs for Christmas! Rgds from NZ

Why not add some watertight access hatches on the sides for storage?

[@conornorris6815]

love ur videos man keep up the good work

[@beyondthis7]

Nice ad lib work there Teo.. love the background music too...

[@Antipodean33]

good idea, probably stiffen the boat up a bit more as well

[@matiaslucero4648]

Good job Teo!!! Congratulations

[@benalla39]

Looking forward to the capsize tests. It will be interesting to see if the extra buoyancy makes it harder to right and whether it is possible to invert the boat fully. Are you planning to fit hatches?

Muito porreiro :)

I really enjoy your how-to videos. You really have a knack for it. Love the way show us your thought process and your attention to all the details. Even when you make a mistake you are able to gracefully adapt and work it into the plan. Cant wait for your next project. Maybe a bigger racing class boat with a more complicated rig. Maybe a 5.0 meter Cat or trimaran. Fantastic job on filming and editing also. Love your sense of humor. Keep up the good work.

Nothing better than fresh lemon from the tree! I envy you climate ;)

[@TheCrioGod]

I'm eager to see the final result! Best regards mate!

[@AndreBandarra1]

Nice, I finally got my little experiment together and today the first time doing epoxy. Runny stuff isn't it? Now I understand why you guys thicken it all the time for diffrent applications. Great job dude :)

[@robhosailor]

Good job Teo! 👍
