Thank you all so much for your support. I finally reached 100K subscribers and 100K views on a video. This was a great 61st birthday present! I'm hoping to make more interesting stuff in the future, so stay tuned and have a great day!
Keep coming up with more ideas!!I've been going through depression over the past years. I seen some of your diy a few yrs ago and thought one day it would be nice to do these type of projects and now I've got a handful of great ideas I'm currently working on. You have inspired me to do so many things!!! With all my heart Thank you sir.
Bloody love it.. Reminds me when my dad and I rebuilt a Paulsbo, (round bottom), wooden boat in our garage...when we lived in West Seattle. After it was finished, we slowly putted up to Kingston...from the Duwamish. Loved that boat
I was canoeing in a beautiful Old Town wood and canvas canoe in a cypress swamp once. We got up on a cypress knee and poked a hole in the bottom. Being on the back side of the swamp, we were in a pickle. Luckily, I had my first aid kit and used a piece of moleskin to repair. It worked and allowed us to paddle out. Your duct tape fix made me think of that adventure.
Увлечённые мужики типо Вас, получают удовольствие ✨как дети 👶👶🍼, Вы светитесь 🧐🤓🤗🤔🙄👏👏👏👍🤝✌🛥🚣♂️как и Я, с Вами. Спасибо 🙏💕что Вы есть! Только на таких как Вы мир держится!!!!
Absolutely love your builds :) Since getting the first set of plans have now also gone CoroPlastic and will have a little fun once the weather gets better.
I absolutely love your addition of the captains boating hat! :) Its the most *perfect*, yet subtle "cherry on top touch" that highlights your awesome water speedster! *Very* nicely done sir. I don't think anyone else could've executed it better than yourself.
That is great ideal. I have a suggestion for putting on the final top panels, use a piece of thin hardwood bent and shaped to fit similar to how you shaped the framing wood underneath, then instead of putting screws directly into the coroplast causing the deformation detentions where every screw is, you put the screws into the trim that runs along where the screws go, and this will apply even pressure on the coroplast and have an even appearance of deformation pressure detention. It will look really professional, and it will be stronger. That seems so fun i could try it myself.. You have a good eye for designing. You know how to take a few simple and cheap materials with a little imagination and knowledge you have something worth the effort.
so great! creativ and clever solutions. I bought a construction site from your bike trailer last summer. 2 trailers built, 2 weeks of great vacation with my son. the video reached 2.3 million clicks. i admire your work! greeting jenni.swiss
Man, this has been a great ride. Thanks for that. The final product is remarkable. It has that beginning 20th century handcrafted flair of antique race cars and open cockpit airplanes. And it seems to ride well in the water too. Oh, I just subscribed to the channel. So, happy belated birthday!
Paul, the lord really loves what you do and how it inspires people and stirs their hearts, but most importantly he love you more than you would know. As Johnny cash would say, say a prayer to the man upstairs. Have a good day buddy!!
Nicely done. Awesome little project. I've been wanting to build something about that size to use one of my 7.5hp Eska outboards on. They weigh just under 40-lbs.
Great job on the upgrades Paul i like them. I think i will try to build myself a mini boat when i shift house and get settled next month. Have a great day Choppersrule1
You should just do it but over the course of a much longer period of time where like, okay I think this day I finally have 3 hours I can do some parts of it...etc.I hear you though dude!!
Well mate that's a bloody ripper very nicely done ,I'm building one at the moment lawn mower powered inboard custom everything .it's the second one and a mini boat and absolutely fun to create something out of used junk I love your approach to keeping it lite and simple mate brilliant effort cheers
The style reminds me of a feathercraft. I sold my 1955 feathercraft vagabond last year . I sure do miss my little boat. I put a 95 model 60 hp Johnson. It was just scary lol but I loved it. Nice little vessel buddy.
Hi there Paul , I've used corraplast on a few projects and the were both a success, This year I'll be constructing a canoe/ kayak from the same corraplast signs here at work that used to get tossed in the trash one the advertised special is over , Recycl reuse I say. Awesome little boat you have there Captain Paul . Best regards from Lloyd way up here in Ontario Canada.
I love the design, looks awesome and is affordable. I would love to build one but I don't know how strong the coroplast is? Obviously it must be strong enough for you to have made it, but I don't want to end up in the water bobing around with a lost engine a the sea floor after some use. Not expecting it to be indestructible or last forever but I thought I'd ask how strong it is before I put a motor on it. It is a 2.3 hp evinrude 2 stroke motor that will be going on it, lightweight but don't want to risk losing it. (I can only get black coroplast if that makes a difference?)
Nicely done, Paul! Another enhancement to consider(my guess is you already have) - A shroud mounted to the rear deck, perhaps open to the rear, which functions as a sound isolator for the operator. I realize that will create a challenge with operation of the start arrangement you currently have.
Built my first boat out of 2 sheets of 3/8" Plywood with 375 1&1/2" wood screws holding it together & fiberglassed over the seams. It had a nice strong oak keel. Put our 18hp Sea King O/B engine on & man did it fly. I outrun my friend Scotty in his 18ft. Larson with a 135hp mercury OB. My boat was a pumpkin seed hydroplane & sat 2 people.

Love the videos Paul! Awesome creativity and ingenuity. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
The best thing to come out of America for a long time. Thankyou.
Bloody love it..

Loved that boat
What did you have for power?
I built my first boat 'Liberty' in my best friends basement in west seattle back in 1998. Love that area!
Always great to watch another Paul Elkins boat building video 👍
This boat is fantastic! Great inspiration for next summer or over the winter project!
I love watching you build things.
🙏 My dear Paul Elkins You are a simple masterful craftsman in our contemporary time. Hat Off Sir 👏
Amazing to watch it all come together Paul, love watching your videos.

Beautiful boat, thank you for sharing 👍
Awesome build. Really liked the vid. Straight forward. Great job on the boat.
Well done, I love your videos and really want to make one of these and the bike camper too. Thanks for being inspirational

Brilliant video and what a lovely little boat. Will definitely try to build this.
Awesome Job!! Looks like a lot of fun!
Yet another great video. Paul, your lack of superfluous waffle is so refreshing (and relatively unique). Keep up the good work, please!
Love the captain’s hat! I wish I had your enthusiasm, creativity, skills, and style!
Очень хорошая лодочка! Надо будет ребёнку такую сделать!
Absolutely Love It!!! I have been loving all you do for years! Keep up the Awesome!!!!!
This man has inspired so many good projects and good ideas by far the best DIY Person out there!
Amazing! I'm so impressed!
Paul, I loved the design, execution and video. It reminded me of the 1960's Mechanics Illustrated magazine's wordless workshop column. Strong work.
Thanks Robert. I remember those as well. Learned a lot from them too.
@@paulwelkinsdiy Hello,I would like to ask.How do you call thiw material?
@@stylianoskampouris6608 : coro-plast or Ten test
I love it! I always watch this daily hahaha
great stuff !,, my dad & i built our own boats, years ago,.. lots of fun.. & a good learning experience, . for young people !
This boat was so simple to build compared to a wood or fiberglass boat. Great for a beginner.
This is amazing 👏. I love your work. Intelligent.
That is great ideal. I have a suggestion for putting on the final top panels, use a piece of thin hardwood bent and shaped to fit similar to how you shaped the framing wood underneath, then instead of putting screws directly into the coroplast causing the deformation detentions where every screw is, you put the screws into the trim that runs along where the screws go, and this will apply even pressure on the coroplast and have an even appearance of deformation pressure detention.

That seems so fun i could try it myself..
You have a good eye for designing. You know how to take a few simple and cheap materials with a little imagination and knowledge you have something worth the effort.
WOW. such a cool and original design. and now i want to build my own boat.

Looking Good Captain Paul..:) Love to see that boat with a 200 HP Merc..:)
INDEED!! I'd let you take the first go!
Paul . You turned that Coro into a piece of Art.
Man, this has been a great ride. Thanks for that. The final product is remarkable. It has that beginning 20th century handcrafted flair of antique race cars and open cockpit airplanes. And it seems to ride well in the water too.
Oh, I just subscribed to the channel. So, happy belated birthday!
Thank you! I hope to add more projects in the future.
Paul, the lord really loves what you do and how it inspires people and stirs their hearts, but most importantly he love you more than you would know. As Johnny cash would say, say a prayer to the man upstairs. Have a good day buddy!!
Great laugh love the caddy shack hat!
Nicely done. Awesome little project.
I've been wanting to build something about that size to use one of my 7.5hp Eska outboards on.
They weigh just under 40-lbs.
Fantastic Paul! Great to see your channel growing and your inventions continuing! - Kevin
Thanks Kevin. Checked out your site. Thanks for the ride! You've got BIG ones!
@@paulwelkinsdiy haha thanks Paul I'm hoping to get a lot more footage come spring time. There is so many places around here I want to film!
You are a real inspiring genius thanks
Great job on the upgrades Paul i like them. I think i will try to build myself a mini boat when i shift house and get settled next month.
Have a great day
Choppersrule1
Definitely the most ingenious guy on the tube! 👍👍
Excellent job, Paul.
Cool little boat
I'm impressed with the 4mph at half throttle. Truly impressive! Such a cool little boat. It would be great for putting around in large ponds all day.
The booze cruiser
Hey Paul its nice to see you are still building. Looks like you have more build room with the move.
That was great. Gave me great idea
cool build. nice to see a green electric outboard motor on it
I’m a 14 year old boy and I love watching your videos you really do inspire me
BEAUTIFUL!
Very nice work, Paul. I love watching home made craftmanship with a budget. Not sure how anyone could give this a thumbs down rating!
I would never been able to make that leather seat look as good as you did
Bloody brilliant. Wouldn't be the same without the hat. Love to see it with a 150 on the back. Greetings from Australia.
my friend, i would like to have time to do this, i still have to work, but your mini boat was a charm, congratulations. rio de janeiro- L. Ripper
You should just do it but over the course of a much longer period of time where like, okay I think this day I finally have 3 hours I can do some parts of it...etc.I hear you though dude!!
"not super fast, but still super fun!" great build!
Desde Panamá te felicito excelente trabajo eres un genio has hecho un bote pequeño a escala WOW.👍😃
I LOVE your boat!
love it well done
Well mate that's a bloody ripper very nicely done ,I'm building one at the moment lawn mower powered inboard custom everything .it's the second one and a mini boat and absolutely fun to create something out of used junk I love your approach to keeping it lite and simple mate brilliant effort cheers
I like that. Good job.
This is a great idea!!
Would love the blue print for the wooden frame and the Coro paterns. So clever, MacGyver lol
Mighty fun and inspirational, as always!
Thanks Fantom. Still get a kick watching your vids. Try fluted plastic next build. Fun stuff.
Paul Elkins Thanks! To be considered, even though I’m more of a plywood guy. Boat and campervan are both on bucket list.
Yeah real nice. 👍👍👍
Look so great
Perfect weeken project i would love to make this
Silly fun! Bravo!! Love the hat...
Very cool Mr Elkins.
Subbed.
Lovely stuff !
Now this is awesome
That is so cool ,I'm inspired! Thanx!
Very nice sir, wow

Amazing man!
Me and my dad are in the process of making a little boat
That one looks so fun
The style reminds me of a feathercraft. I sold my 1955 feathercraft vagabond last year . I sure do miss my little boat. I put a 95 model 60 hp Johnson. It was just scary lol but I loved it. Nice little vessel buddy.
woww!!! beautiful 😍
That’s a dam good boat

En ocaciones las cosas muy simples no hacen felices este amigo se ve su cara de felicidad mil likes buen viento y buena mar
Gracias Don!
Very nice project congratulations. regards
That is so cute. I can see why you have the smile on your dial.
This is pathetic!
I’m just kidding, it’s a neat little boat!
I would love to see you build your own car. You’re so talented.
Mary C most likely already done :)
@@thebluelazor234 He has videos where he did that, and plans for them are available on his website.
@@kevins1114 Here was a trike I build several years ago. Some day I'll make a better one!

Hi there Paul , I've used corraplast on a few projects and the were both a success, This year I'll be constructing a canoe/ kayak from the same corraplast signs here at work that used to get tossed in the trash one the advertised special is over , Recycl reuse I say. Awesome little boat you have there Captain Paul . Best regards from Lloyd way up here in Ontario Canada.
Thanks Lloyd. Would love to see what you've come up with!
The "Coro-gami Wizard" !!
Good job!
I love the design, looks awesome and is affordable. I would love to build one but I don't know how strong the coroplast is? Obviously it must be strong enough for you to have made it, but I don't want to end up in the water bobing around with a lost engine a the sea floor after some use. Not expecting it to be indestructible or last forever but I thought I'd ask how strong it is before I put a motor on it. It is a 2.3 hp evinrude 2 stroke motor that will be going on it, lightweight but don't want to risk losing it. (I can only get black coroplast if that makes a difference?)
Nicely done, Paul! Another enhancement to consider(my guess is you already have) - A shroud mounted to the rear deck, perhaps open to the rear, which functions as a sound isolator for the operator. I realize that will create a challenge with operation of the start arrangement you currently have.
Awesome... 👌👌👌😃
great job!
Built my first boat out of 2 sheets of 3/8" Plywood with 375 1&1/2" wood screws holding it together & fiberglassed over the seams. It had a nice strong oak keel. Put our 18hp Sea King O/B engine on & man did it fly. I outrun my friend Scotty in his 18ft. Larson with a 135hp mercury OB. My boat was a pumpkin seed hydroplane & sat 2 people.
GamSa ham Ni Da” is right word.!!!
👍👍👍😂😂😂
you're too nice .... how to have fun with ingenuity and courage ...... is the maximum of happiness.
Cool boat
You'll either be the terror or the envy of the waters. :D
Love it so cute
