Boat Builder Central

Boat looks great. How heavy is she? Do you think you would be able to launch that boat by walking a trailer down a beach with 2 people about 20 feet? Thats what I do with my current metal jon boat. I have thinking about building my boat for over a year now. My other choice is to redo a 16 ft bass bo...

What size engine are you going with? I guess by your screen name you do I lot of Redfish fishing. Me too, here in SW Florida.

Do you like the front deck the way you made it flush like a flats boat. I was thinking about that also. You are doing a real nice job.

was talking about beam.

I thought this was going to be one of skinny type of flats boats that have been springing up all over the place. This boats has its place but its not for me.

the BS6566 nice price but a little heavy 25 lbs per 1/4 inch sheet. I guess the Eurolite is out of the question as mentioned earlier.

I like the fact it is lite and does not cost much. Is ply ok for this boat.
