In a scaled-down boat the hm is excessive but it can be matched to the rm by scaling down the rig by a mere 8% which, for a gaff rig (closer to the original than the somes sound 12-1/2) should keep the sticks short enough to store inside the hull for rowing or trolling.. A 12 ft skiff is about the maximum you can get out of two sheets of plywood, and still have the traditional skiff looks. cutting the plywood for this boat you will be using about 91 % of the surface area of two sheets of plywood. very little waste, that is. hardly enough for a pair of oar blades.. The boating forum - replacing the plywood decking on my boat - would it be better to use 1/2 ply and use 8 or 10 oz cloth with epoxy or just use 3/4. this shopping feature will continue to load items. in order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading...
More plywood boat video... make a plywood boat with one sheet of plywood. easy to make, this boat is a good starter project to learn about wooden boat building.. It lasted at least 12 years. i'm planning on building a small jon boat and i'm going to use plain ol' plywood. the difference is i'll use that primer/epoxy paint combination and hopefully i'll not have to go through that oiling again. i doubt if i'll last another 12 years. this plain ol' plywood jon boat should outlast me.. I have a calendar with a picture of the herreshoff haven 12 1/2 in it. i look at the picture more than i should. wondering why, it has occurred to me the curving lines of the haven has the quality of a young boy to it..
