- In Part 1 we show how we built the hull and modified a “Deep V” trailer for our new houseboat, affectionately named “Woody”. The boat is built from Roy Schreyer's Dianne's Rose houseboat plans.
In the upcoming Part 2 we turn the hull. Do not miss that one!

Tell Roy Sandi & Lee sent you! His plans and designs are great...
Great job Roy!
Just purchased the plans for this tiny houseboat from Roy Schreyer. Looking forward to starting my own build next spring.
You will love the adventure
Been watching the designer's channel about this boat for a few years now. Seems like a great design. Good job on the hull! Love the colour, too.
Love the outcome
Wow, very nice, your video just appeared on my feed, and being a Houseboater I just had to see it! What a wonderful job you’ve done, that trailer is amazing!! Now I’m going to have a look at your other videos and I’m excited, houseboat videos are hard to find on CZcams! Thanks so much, I subscribed!!!

Thanks for this upload, will now go to part2 ! Very nice job!
Nice work for sure
A nick tidy job of that lot. Well done . ENJOY.
From a little research it seems like Roy using his modified v bottom has a pretty good little design there when I can afford it I'm getting some plans and building one for myself
Awesome! Just subscribed 👍🏼 love boats!!
Loved the video and your trailer solution- I subscribed.
Great video guys! Best/Roy
Showed up in my recommendations too! You're getting famous, Roy!
Thank you for all your help Roy. Great boat and great plans.
So easy
Love your 20 ft version of Roy's Dianne's Rose!! Can you tell me the towing weight of your boat "Woody"? I am subscribed and have watched your video's multiple times and am almost ready to start one for myself in the mountains of North Carolina! Thanks for your inspiration!!
Do not know but would think about 3000 lb with engine
@@backyardboatbuilders6417 Thanks for the response. I was afraid it would be considerably more. Hoping to build mine this winter. Maybe we'll see each other on the nearby lakes!!!
Thank you for your video!
I'm going to build one of these so I can fish for salmon from my bed with my dog.
How many hours did this take you to build and about how much money did it cost?
Good I am very nice
Can you please send me a link to get these plans i love your boat

How much waS the plan?
It appears your using regular exterior plywood, I was thinking of using marine ply on the hull and regular ply for the rest. What are your feelings about this?
The plans call for exterior plywood. All of our boats were built from exterior plywood with no problems. On our first boat I was concerned so I checked with a marine engineer. He said the difference in good exterior and marine plywood was only that marine had less voids making it stronger. However, we found that when exterior is covered with fiberglass it is very strong. I think the decision should be what the plans call for and what you feel comfortable with.
Backyard Boatbuilders Thank you for your research, exterior ply cuts my build expenses substantially.
for protected saltwaters and inland freshwater, exterior grade plywood is more than adequate when sheathed in epoxy and glass. Absolutely no need to spend the high price on marine plywood unless you plan on cross oceans with it. Literally no point in the added expense unless you have money to burn.
What kind of fiberglass and resin do you use?
Total cost?
What did you seal the wood hull with to make waterproof?
Epoxy and fiberglass cloth
Where did you get the plans from?please reply. Thanks

How did you bend the wood?
It was easy to do with a wet towel - plans cover it.
Fun to follow the build, but wish you would have shown the work actually being performed, via video footage, as opposed to a compilation of photos. Just one man’s opinion.
What is the dimension of your shade? I like it.
20 ft long - 18 ft wide - 15 ft high
