Sorry to hear you wont be able to continue Neel. Wish you the best with the sale of your boat and your home.

Well, at least we can agree that a new 60 4 stroke is extremely large, glad you weren't considering that.... Back to PWDULA's build.

TAB, Seems odd to worry about a 12 gallon tank when you plan a 60hp motor? :shock: Are you planning a NEW 60hp motor? I show the differrence being more like 40lbs comparing a new 40 to a new 60? Also, the 40hp the modern engines are enormous in physical size as well as weight when compared to the ol...

The difference between a craftsman and a hack is the craftsman knows how to cover his mistakes.

Welcome!

I dont know how your heart can stand to watch that process let alone take pictures but would love to see the process! Good luck!

Good point on the Skeg Roberta.

Without the Skeg I calculate it would just fit through the doorway. My concern is how you could get enough places to hold it and get enough people around it. Bow would be especially awkward.

Welcome! The world needs more Zips! You can definitely spread the expense out building from scratch. You can keep steady working going on just a couple hundred dollars a month pretty easily.

Welcome. A small stitch and glue boat is a great way to get started in boat building. Only recommendation is use good marine products. You probably don't need it for a simple 8ft boat but if you prefer books to the internet you might consider the "Boat-building with Plywood" book from Glen-L. Enjoy!

My local supplier had 3/4" actual thickness African Mahogany in random length from 6-14 ft and width of about 7" to 14". Most were about 8ft and 7-8" wide. You just plan out the best you can. I had the luxury of having a supplier nearby which helped a lot.

Looking great, like the engine turned dash.

Thanks for posting, look forward to watching your progress.

Really well done! I hope you are planning to take it to the Gathering!

Quick work!
