At just 4 years old, your son’s interest may be temporary, so I’d not invest heavily into exactly copying the design from the movie boat. Get a...
The grain looks like it goes to hell on the far end of your board. I’d try cutting a piece off the other side, but cut it wider in case you need...
You’ll want to remove the motor and pretty much everything else that’s not an integral part of the hull or cap. Removing the angle between the...
It does look like a retired shrimper hull, and as such can carry tremendous loads above the waterline. I’ve seen many commercial vessels safely...
Did I miss something here? Some of the replies above seem to know what boat, method and materials are involved, maybe my crystal ball is smudged?
Laminating thin strips can form the desired curvature without putting excessive pressures on the hullsides. Brace the inside with stick braces...
Vinylester is a step up from Iso, and epoxy is often overrated. You can build a very solid boat using ISO, it is the industry standard, and there...
Here’s a picture from the manufacturer’s website, clearly showing considerable stern down posture with no additional weight in the stern. A...

When putting out to sea alone, one needs to accept the fact that they are venturing into an inherently dangerous and potentially deadly place....
Fallguy’s warning about removing the liner intact is very valid. You might want to invert the boat before separating the liner from the hull,...
After more research, there are $pecialized coatings for this purpose, but I see lots of recommendations to just seal coat the interior with waxed...
Forgive me for asking for information that has already been discussed, but I’m reading a lot of conflicting input, need to clarify. I’m...
The devices shown were pretty clumsy, would be more than a handful in high winds/rough seas or if the victim was the least bit weak or injured....
Looking at some other YouTube videos, looks like the windward foil is held close to the hull, and the leeward foil is deep for lift. One thing for...
It will likely be the Titanium of woods. The cost will ultimately decide whether or not this material will be useful in ordinary marine...
Woo Hoo! Interesting to note that the Windward hull is throwing so much spray, I’d think that it would be high in the water compared to the lee...
I would have rounded the corners and used a rubber gasket. There’s many profiles available, pretty easy to use too.
It doesn’t even look like a bass boat, and I doubt that it’s a serious racing boat either. Maybe “ski boat” would be a closer categorization of...
If the bulkhead is showing as a high spot, gelcoat is not going to repair that. It’s much more likely that the hull side is pushed in adjacent to...
