Thanks for clarification.
Your contributions here are really helpfull.
It will be nice if you will have youtube chanell similar to Louis Sauzedde:-)

Hi Kevin,
does that mean that marine aluminium alloys are hard to stretch and shrink?
I saw some 60ft al sailing wessel and they were using english wheel for forming the hull.

Its a pitty nobody documented Albert E build on the forum.
Maybe this design is not popular as the inner space is not so big.
But lines of this boat are really neat.
Especially that one build by Ernest Demaray looks lovely.

We look forward to your build:-) I will be scared of electronics.... whats the weight difference between Holden and Toyota engine?

Any wood cut down during summer is wrong for boatbuilding.

Hi Charles, check Joshua Burks on youtube, there is detailed info about his costs, he is available on the forum also.

You all forget about splendid american wood known as Black Locust or Robinia Pseudoacacia.
French boatbuilders really love it, rot resistent, local and available without damaging rain forrests.

I feel your pain, so many possibilities, each has its advantages and disadvantages. Althoug i bought house with garage last year, only now i realized that nothing bigger then Flying Saucer will be hard to squeeze in. Its hard to decide which way to go. Wood or aluminium, trailerable or something big...

What about temperature required for curing, although Atlanta should be warm enough:-)

You are making good progress:-)
Hey man, i know you from youtube!
Nice series.

I am afraid you wont get so long plywood in Europe off shelf. But you can order them custom made, i believe, but what price? In UK should be present italian company Nord Compensati but cant reach their site at this moment. If you dont mind longer transport, you can check producers european producers...

It seems that hardest thing on boatbuilding is decision what to build :lol: Hopefuly and luckily i will move to place with proper space before summer. Although my wife will require some household tweaking, i believe this winter will finally start something. Still undecided, i was sent to Glen-L site...

I will recommend you below discussion thread.

Although i am not superstisious, i wouldnt use that

Hi Kevin, Considering dutch approach to thrift (outclassing Scotts:-) they utilized most ecnomical variant, thats for sure. What is even more valid today in the age of epoxy coatings for steel. I guess resistence stems from old prejudices. Welders are evrywhere, i guess main problem is lack of plans...

Splendid step into 21st century for GlenL. Really good idea. Now we need some new designs in steel :-) Considering popularity of retrolook and nostalgia last days, i believe there is chance designs as Elco 26 and similar derivatives will be nice addition to quite popular tugs and trawlers on inland ...
