TUBBY TUG BILL OF MATERIALS

The following lists the materials required to build the basic hull and does not include the cabin. Lumber and plywood required for the cabin are noted on Pattern sheet 2 of 2.
LUMBER: Mahogany, Douglas-fir, spruce, oak, or most any type of clear dry wood is acceptable. All widths are listed as NET size, while lengths allow for cutting to fit. The prototype used spruce for all cleats and similar parts and dark red Philippine mahogany for exposed members such as breasthook, sheer, bumper rail, and cabin parts. All lumber is intended to be cut or ripped from 1" lumberyard size stock; this will mean a new thickness after milling of about 3/4". A 1" x 3/4" cleat is ripped from 1" stock to a 3/4" width; this results in a piece 3/4" x 3/4". Parts listed as 1/2" or 5/8" are ripped to this thickness from 1" stock. It is recommended that the lumber to be purchased in wider widths and longer lengths and resawn to the required size.

PLYWOOD: All plywood is to be exterior (may have inner core voids) or marine grade (edge jointed inner core); interior grades will deteriorate in a marine atmosphere and are not recommended. Douglas-fir AB exterior plywood was used on the prototype. Plywood with veneers such as okoume or mahogany are optional. Plywood is graded by the quality of the exterior veneers with AA (best quality both sides) being preferable and AB second choice. AC panels are a very poor third choice with panels of lower grades undesirable.
