Randall, unless you definitely need this much space, you might consider the smaller GT23 version. It's shocking how large and how much labor the GT27 requires. Ours is coming out well, but WOW has it been exponentially more work than any of the previous boats I built before.

There are debates about this among many builders but generally I was convinced by a few that if the space is thoroughly filled with foam and well sealed, the risk of condensation is low. In open boats where rain and spray often collect in the bilge, that may not hold true, but especially in a dry insulated cabin interior, I suspect condensation will not really be an issue. Hard to say for certain. Only time will tell.

45 minutes for what?

It's very difficult to say for sure. I ordered them three or more years ago and it took over a year to get them to close the deal. I don't know the exact model number but they're a gray tinted acrylic insulated model, about 19" h x 32" l or so.

Bought the same plans several years ago and then stumbled across a Yukon Delta at a good price. I told the wife I couldn’t build as much boat for the price. Still looking to build one though. Looking forward to seeing you float this one.

I edit in Adobe Premiere Pro and I use the royalty free music library on CZcams.

That's a commercially ordered/welded aluminum outboard bracket but the installation is shown in an earlier video.

Yes I grew up on the Mississippi in Dubuque, IA. Now we're just a short distance away from it again living in River Falls, WI. This boat will be perfect for that river.

@@LiveDontWatch I grew up north of St Louis, where the Missouri and Illinois converge. Spent many hours on the river above lock 27, the last on the river. It’ll be a great River boat. Beware of the rolling tug wakes!!

Yes, I wondered about the towing logistics. Having had a similar size boat in the past, it was very easy to get to the towing limits, and not getting away from standard braking systems and into the expensive breakaway load area.

The boat should come out at or under 6000 I think. It's around 4000 now plus 2000 for the trailer.

Thanks for your patience... Part 9 is FINALLY here. When it finishes uploading, it should be available at this link: czcams.com/video/pd7s4Hrsaos/video.html

Hi Mark. The rear scuppers are from Seaworty Innovations and were labeled as "316 SS EZ Scupper 3M VHB Mount - 12 deg angle" at the time I purchased them. If they still sell them, that should be enough to track them down by Google Search. Expensive, but very well made and attractive. The forward scuppers are actually hawse pipe covers with these specs: "316 SS hawse pipe - 1.5" x 3.75" hole, 5.5" x 2.5" flange" purchased on Amazon from a vendor called "MarineNow." Then I asked my dad (a steel fabricator) to mill down the flange to only about 1/4" deep (instead of 2.5") to make it shallower than the thickness of the forward hull. It's really just a cosmetic way to make the side scuppers look more nicely trimmed, but is probably totally unnecessary.

Checking in for episode 9… very much looking forward to next installment - thank you!!!

I loved your episode nine, and a move in not bad, so you know what I am going to say now, roll on ep10

Hi Mark, They're acrylic double pane molded windows on the sides, ordered from Anhui Maygood in China. They manufacture them for Dometic. In the front and back, they're self built frames around fixed, single panes of acrylic plexiglass. About 5/8" thick, I believe, which is probably overkill but I was worried about wind pressure when trailering on the interstate. After a 1700 mile trip to move to Wisconsin from Georgia, they held up great. They probably could've been 1/4" or 5/16" thick instead to save a little weight and cost.

Thank you. Fingers are crossed for another video! Be safe and Happy Holidays!@@LiveDontWatch

It's right at 8'6" wide. The original design had it at 8'10", but I shrank the width 4" to keep it within the normal max trailerable width and avoid the need for a special towing permit in some states.
