- The moment we have all been waiting for is finally here. It's finally time to launch and test out our TotalBoat work skiff! The skiff is also for sale on ebay at the link -
www.ebay.com/itm/-/201910876596?
The last thing for us to do is put on our final coat of bottom paint now that we have attached our deep runners. Then we are going to lift the boat up onto a trailer and bring it next door so we can mount an outboard motor to the transom. 50hp should do the trick. Before we swell up the bottom planking we are going to apply TotalBoat Teak Oil to the entire interior of the boat but not the bottom for now. Then we're just going to take a garden hose and run some water into the boat to help the planking swell up tight. Now we're all set to launch our skiff, down the ramp and into the water she goes. It's been almost 25 years since I've driven an outboard skiff like this I can't wait to see how it performs.
Also, don't forget to come meet Lou and see the TotalBoat work skiff with your own eyes tomorrow, April 22 8-3pm at the Jamestown Distributors Tent Sale in Bristol, RI. / 18814. .

I vote this as one of the all time best boat videos on youtube.
The best
I agree 100%
Have it on my play list - keep watching it over and over again ..... All this years...
@@istra70 Its awesome!
I can’t believe how stable that craft is. You stood all the way to the side and it was still flat in the water. A truly well designed, and beautiful working boat.
Watching a man fly across the water on a boat he made himself.
Absolutely amazing.
It’s probably the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
The most iconic vision of boatery I’ve ever seen.
God bless you Louie.
this guy needs his own show on like actual TV and stuff, the knowledge this one guy has about building boats needs to be put out there as much as possible, i hope we never lose this. ever
This series is Pure GOLD! Absolutely stunning photography and the sea-trial footage was so cinematic ! Bravo !
Gold Jerry! GOLD! :)
Presumably done by drone, does anybody know? Great production
Your craftsmanship is extraordinary. Congratulations on Mastering so many complex skills! I am spell bound listening to you talk about your work.
Lou, I've been an avid woodworker for over 20 years. I got my start by watching Norm Abrahams and the New Yankee Workshop as well as This Old House. As someone who has never owned a boat and certainly never ventured into boat building I appreciate not only your knowledge but ability to teach and explain as you go. I appreciate you sharing your craft with us and also your contagious passion for boat building!
Holy Moly. My father is a boat builder on Long Island and you guys are basically the same guy. I can listen to you talk about boats for hours. As a woodworker, I find this more informative than any book. You are a true master.
I have no wider relation to boats or boat building for that matter. I came here because I thought it sounded like a interesting project, stayed for the high quality videos and a warm person working with such passion. I laughed and smiled during this last episode. Thanks for the company, lessons in construction and lessons in life. Hope to see you soon again. /Tim, Sweden
This series has been one of my favorites on You Tube.Fantastic.Thank you.
Amen.
Jeff Ward: Bravo! Such a great series, thank you for sharing your experiences, knowledge, and skills with the world.
Best series I''ve seen on you tube!
I'm hoping the next project will have a sail as well.
I'd like to see a small sailing skiff,
if possible.
GREAT work Louis!

Hello Lou, Beautiful Boat! Look at that 180 deg. turn in the water. It's hugging the water throughout the turn. You're a great craftsman and boat builder / designer. Thanks for sharing your skills with all of us. It's the lucky man or woman that ends up buying the TotalBoat.
Hello!
I'm happy about your offer to answer questions and share your expertise and experience. Its quite a chance, from a guy who is so dedicated and guru like about boats and at the same time ready to do unconventional.
I found you and your channel a few years ago while looking for ways to utilize plastic in boat building, thinking I could somehow fuse HDPE-plastic and build a boat from it.
The freedom to move and travel with the most essential equipment and gear is vital to all enterprises of human kind. Further I believe that nowadays the freedom to be independent, unbound and autonomous is not as tollerated than the skills and abilities of the people actually are and would enable or make them.
Thats one of the reasons why I want to build a sailboat to come around.
A couple years ago I got that obsession to find a way to do that on a really low budget but making it as innovative and sophisticated as possible at the same time.
The style which appears most promising to me is something with carbon, glas or basalt- fibres reinforcement and/or meshed mats and then using UHPC (ultra high performance concrete, like Ductal(r)) instead of epoxy, with vacuum injection. I've seen Danish plastered more bulky concrete sailboats on youtube, so there is no doubt that concrete works ...
One of my role models is Coretin de Chatelperron goldofbengal.com/
Meanwhile he actually did what I was thinking about.
Also a lot of German Professors getting so called future- prices now for C3 (carbon concrete composite.. Ok they started that reasearch- project in 2014) even though they're more talking about the carbon than the new innovations in mixing concrete with "flowenhancers", less water and short staples and fibers which gives it more strengths.
So, I thought you might like the idea!
What do you think about this and what shape would you give a sailboat hull
why are cool boats so expensive?
Do you accept apprentice?
A big dumb grin came across my face watching you turn up the motor on the boat and ride it around and enjoy it. It's been a pleasure to see it come together episode by episode. Can't wait for the next one.
it's so damn smooth on those sharp turns like a hot knife through butter, I was in awe.
I couldn't help smiling when Lou opened up the throttle on the skiff. This was an awesome ending to this awesome series. Videography was excellent. Can't wait for the next series, Lou!
I binge watched this series of videos, I just couldn't stop. I cannot express my gratitude and respect for your skills with mere words. People who have never built or owned a wooden boat will not understand what it means to ride in one, let alone appreciate the skill that took to build this boat. I can't thank you enough. God Bless and keep you Sir !
Man honestly I would love to just sit and kick back a few beers talk boats and details for hours the pride you take in the work is awsome amazing work
This was a dream come true to watch. Thanks Lou!
Never have I looked forward to any youtube video being released as much as to this one. I like being AT the sea, not on the sea because I get seasick really fast. But watching you build this thing, has been a great pleasure. Even for an old landlubber like me. Keep on the good work and I'll hope someone with deep pockets is going to get this beauty off your hands. :)
So I have watched every single episode of this build and I have to say sure craftsmanship excellent design I wasn't too sure about the flat bottom until you put it on the water and watching it skip across the water absolutely finished it off for me. I was truly impressed I am truly impressed.
This series of 37 episodes is absolutely fantastic. From the standpoint of an educator, I really appreciate Lou's phenomenal style of straight forward explanation. I'm from Canada and was recently in Boston and could not pass up the opportunity to rent a car and drive to Rhode Island to meet Lou in person and pass on my appreciation for his efforts. It was a great day and a highlight of my short trip to the U.S. Kudos to his fill crew too, for the great quality of videos. I'm hoping to build a couple 13 footers for our sailing school coach boat fleet
Enjoyed every minute. Can't wait for the next build.

Absolutely fantastic! I've enjoyed every episode of this series and you have actually made me finally decide to go after my life long dream and build my own skiff. So I'm starting my very own skiff project this summer. A very big thanks for the inspiration and knowledge! Best ever. 👍👍👍👍👍
Mattias Flodwall Good luck!
Wow , what a great effort. That thing is fabulous. The world doesn't care about your feelings or emotions. It only cares about what you can produce. From what I see , you are a master at detail , and i don't know if i could pull it off . But you did teach me how to maintain some tools and somethings that will make my life easier
Lou you are a rock star!! My favorite "Lou" quote..."More fun then a bucket of quahogs" Love ya Lou...Long live the king of shipwrights!
Thoroughly fascinated by watching a real craftsman who really enjoys his chosen profession, loved every minute watching you build the work skiff. No question as to who I would choose to build my boat.
Seeing you pilot that boat is like watching a kid open presents on Christmas Day. I absolutely loved watching this series and can't hardly wait for the next project. Thank you so much for doing this for us.
Mike
So beautiful. A man with a true love for his chosen craft.
I think god would approve of this beautiful and somehow so natural workmanship. Well done. Thank you from Richmond Virginia.
Perfect music for this video. Driving this boat like a boss!!!
Great work!
Just watched every single episode. Neil is right. You DESERVE a Doctorate for your knowledge. What a GREAT series. I have say too, whomever was responsibly forl the filming/editing/audio, I saw not ONE single glitch. PRO production values start to finish...
I smiled the entire time just to hear the happiness in his voice.
She looks just so pretty all dressed up and on her way! Thank you for a trip down memory lane for me. The series was fantastic and you had just too much fun. More than once I wanted to be right there in the shop with you working on her, but alas, those days are log gone. Looking forward to what is coming next.
I've watched the whole series and determined IMO this man is a genius.....and the finest example of a craftsman. He not only has the talent & skills to build a work of art with the most basic of tools, he thoroughly explains all aspects of the build simply and logically .....he KNOWS what he's doing! I only hope that there are apprentices out there coming up behind him . His enthusiasm , and spirit is also fun, exhilarating! AND contagious!! I want to build a boat! .............. A sincere Thanks Louis for this series , your hard work and attention to detail, I really enjoyed it.....
Louis your craft's physical design of nuanced Proportion, advantageous nautical mechanics and balanced Aesthetics reminds me of the hearty proportions and a dedicated robust spirit of many creations by Michelangelo. the transcendent beauty of "Function over Form" with the finest materials and superior handmade craftsmanship transforming those materials into a uniquely masterful creation of the Shipwright Artist/Artisan. V bottom Skiff project-Yayy!
This by far and wide is the best boat building tutorial I've ever seen online or video. You sir are a testament to your craft, ability and teaching. I'm building my own fishing boat at the moment because of what I've learned here because you make it believable for the average woodworker to be able to do it and believe in themselves. Thank you and I wish you nothing but good health and a LONG happy boat ride. Thank you Thank you Thank you
I also rate this entire series with Jamestown and Lou as my most favorite ever! Craftsmanship unparalleled, professional videography/sound, no question left unanswered, and Lou's knowledge and unique personality make this a series unequaled on CZcams, in my opinion. Thank you Lou, and thank you Jamestown for sponsoring this treasure!
Hats off to everyone involved in the making of this video series! The production and camera work are first rate, and Lou is awesome.
I'm SO glad I found this series on CZcams. I'm a carpenter and a boatman. Got my first boat when I was 3.5 years old (41 years ago) Still, I have learned so much and enjoyed myself so much with an incredibly knowledgeable and cozy man. Thank you.
Greetings from Norway
This is by far the greatest series I've seen on CZcams. I'm a carpenter of 31 years. Building a boat is something I've always wanted to do and thanks to you I'm going to do it. The open design is exactly what I like. Very much like the skiffs me, my friends. Dad and others going back a few generations grew up with. It has been a pleasure watching your talent, skills and craftsmanship .
I believe you genuinely deserve an honorary doctorate for the knowledge you've gained and shared over the years! What does everyone else think?
Neil Rose I second the motion. best boat build I have seen.
I agree. from the UK>
doctorate why? he`s from a different part of ... of... life :D
The broken bone. Doctorates serve and transcend all walks of life and subjects. They are about advancement of knowledge. Need I say more!
sorry if i hurt your feelings i just wanted to say (with a humble smile) is i think he`s beyond titles and entitlement but if you see that way, you see that way and it`s fine too. again sorry any inconvenience. have a nice day.
Boat rides like it's on rails. Nice tight turns without banking.

I never was that much on boat builds, but this was the most interesting and well made video of a boat build I have ever seen. Mr Louis Sanzedde is a true master wood builder. I can't believe I was so in grossed watching the entire boat build. Watching the final boat send off in the water was so exciting. I think I saw the kid come out in him. Would of loved to off been able to work with such an amazing person to soak up a small fraction of his knowledge. Thank you for taking the time in sharing this awesome build with others.
Warm regards
Gary N.
Takes me back to southern Maryland ( Cobb Island ) and watching my uncle Herman build just such a skiff. Thanks
What a masterpiece. The skiff, the film, hearing Lou talk about boats. Loved every minute of it.
Also there are 5 ass-holes (at the time of typing this) who down-voted this video. What do you want from a video? This has everything.
Losers with no talent whatsoever who hate themselves.
Wow !! Absolutely fantastic. Hi Lou, I can't find the words to express how much I have enjoyed watching you're series it's been terrific. If only you lived in England you'd sure get sick of seeing me hanging about your workshop. I'm just in the process of trying to build my first boat ( 10' clinker ) and your are an absolute inspiration to us all. Good health and God speed many thanks, Keith.
Wow, standing up piloting a skiff with 50 hp sailing along with the wind at your face, man it just doesn't get any better than that! After all your happy building and having fun with it on the water is just great. I enjoyed watching you build it and seeing you have fun with it.
Really a profound intellect with Louis. Feel super lucky to have been able to watch this!
This "Total Boat" series was "totally cool!". Watched all of them on my 69th birthday and was reminded of the first boat I built right out of high school.(a 16' catamaran sailboat that I modeled after a 20' Tornado racing cat) Although I used marine plywood I did develop some similar techniques that were so well demonstrated in these video's. It is a joy to learn from a true master craftsman and helpful human being. Great experience well shared.
Just started watching your videos a few days ago. I'm a carpenter by trade and you sir are a great craftsman. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Amazing work!!
I binge watched your build all weekend, I do not usually sit long and I rarely watch TV stuff! All I can say is WOW! I subscribed, and feel I have been reawoken. My dad passed 3 yeas ago and that kind of " took the wind out of my sails " so so speak. I have built hundreds of RC airplanes, several small RC power boats, the log cabin home my father and mother lived in, 2 conventional homes, several chicken coops lol ect... You get the picture! Now I have decided to take the challenge to do something like this Skiff, Dory, or fishing Drift boat. I'm not sure what style of boat, but I have some research to do! I want to thank you Sir personally, and thank your sponsors for helping to reignite a passion for perhaps one last or final build! THANK YOU AGAIN!
Your the exact person Lou who you would bye a hand crafted boat off. The passion you showed in making the work boat was second to none, and it shows it in the finished product. Great job mate.👍👍
I absolutely love this guy. I was extremely happy to see him riding around the lake at the end of this series. I already can't wait for the next one!
Work boats are my greatest discovery. Beautiful boat! Congratulations and greetings from New Zealand
Great work, Louis! Congratulations from Russia! On this boat you look like a boy with the toy of his dream. I am the sailor as you. The name of my yacht is "Nika". She belongs to the russian national class L-6. If it is interesting for you, you can find some information about us in the Internet. Our class is not very old like 8 meter and other classic classes, but, maybe, it is the oldest class of yachts in Russia.
That's a beauty. Love the way it skims the water, yet handles corners. I would worry about being thrown overboard without more things to hang on to. But that's nothing that can't be fixed with a small center console.
This good old man is really admirable. He is a very good speaker, so detailed to his teaching. A very good carpenter working neat and clean, and oh! He is an amazing rider too!!!! I'm so very thankful seeing this video up to the last episode ....Thank you TotalBoat, you really pick a right guy sharing this piece of work to the whole world ....
I've smiled all the way through this last episode. Great job. I WANT ONE ;-)
You and the boat are a legend already!! Absolutely beautiful, the boat that is :-)
Robert Frost said it was his goal to have his avocation and his vocation be one and the same. I've been messing around with boats for 60+ years and can't tell you how much I enjoy your video content. Although I am familiar with most of your content I have never seen a more practical common sense approach to your work. Keep sharing as much as you can. Society needs to know what can be built by hand. Thank you😎
What a tough amazing skiff. I wish I could imagine the aroma of wood in Lou's workshop.I also wish I could never imagine the aroma of chemicals in a plastic boat workshop.Looking forward to the next project.
Awesome boat, love the tradition of those skiffs and how they are built!
That is one sweet boat! Lou, can't believe you're letting it go. I live in Central Texas so not much use for a boat for me, but I really enjoyed the series. Watching the auction with great interest as well.
I am a retired wood worker ,I,like you,have a shop. You are an artist that built a wood boat.You also have a gift in being able to explain each step where the least talented of us can understand.My hats off to you!
How pleased I was that Jimmy Diresta went to the Wooden Boat Show and included a chat with you, Louis, in his CZcams video, so that I could follow his suggestion to view this series - it has been wonderful! I have always enjoyed watching TV programmes and videos on how things are made, ever since the days of black-and-white BBC TV in the UK back in the 50/60's, but they nearly always left me slightly dissatisfied that they had not gone into the full details of what was shown - but this series answered every question that popped into my head as I watched, and you explained the 'whys' as well as demonstrating some very interesting and novel 'hows'.
I have taken up woodworking in my retirement, and viewing this series has been an inspiration, and - perhaps best of all - might curb my desire to get jobs completed in a rush instead of following your example of working out the best ways to complete each task with patience and thought, and so end up with a better job.
You have a wonderfully relaxed and confident style, and convey information from your vast experience without condescension that makes it feel as though we viewers are part of a chat with you in your workshop. Obviously I am going to need quite a time at my PC catching up with all your other items, but for now I thank you for this series which has given me so much pleasure..
The best series I've ever watched, can't wait until the next one!
Me, too, Tony! Lou and his team are naturals who never fail to educate and entertain. Lou's love of what he does comes through in every episode.
Been waiting all day for this video!
Nick Shamla you and me both brother

I loved listening to him describe the boat. Total pride in his work, but also sounded almost like he was seeing it for the first time. He loved that boat. Not just because he was the builder, but because it's a beautiful thing no matter who the builder was.
My heart sank as this episode came to an end. I have been in a you tube unsatisfying funk ever since, and then last week when series # 3 was announced with the first video. !!! I am alive again !! :)
Absolutely Fabulous , Really Enjoyed : ) Thank you so much, Me and My Little Girls Watched the Entire Build Series .
God Bless,
Dad and Daughters ( Toronto )
The skiff just sold! $21,100! Congratulations, Lou and to the buyer! This series has been awesome and I can't wait for the next one.
Caleb Smith thanks for the update. My "guess ". Was $15-20K.
It sold for $15,700.
Caleb Smith we need a name for her
I respect this man's work, but I would never buy a wooden boat!
If it sells for 15700 isnt a motor like that alone 7500? Doesnt seem like he leaves much meat on the bone for himself
Spent half a day watching your series. I enjoyed your style and learned innumerable useful techniques. Awesome. Loved the boat.
Wow. I did NOT expect it to be that quick and agile. Very nice!
Amazing.....I really mean that.
Many thanks.....all the way from London!
Such an awesome series. Thank you!
Jay Bates love to see video series like this frm you
maybe you should try making something similar...
Late to the show I know, but, amazing series. Award worthy. The kind of all American guy we all want to hang out with. Nice, knowledgeable, laid back, ridiculously intelligent, and introduced me to more words in this series than I ever knew growing up. He needs to create a boat builder's dictionary! Thanks Lou!
It looks amazing!!! You should build another one like this but with a bit more bulk and add a center console with a 60 horse motor and hydraulic steering. That baby would FLY!!!
This video series is the absolute BEST and most interesting video series I've seen on CZcams. I'm waiting with baited breath to see the next series. Thanks so much Lou!
I agree. If it's possible to nominate a Channel like this for some type of CZcams award then I vote for Lou and for this series.
Awesome boat, awesome builder, cant wait for more, all the very best from an english lobster fisherman, thankyou.
Dear, Jamestown and TotalBoat, Bangup great job putting together wherewithal and premiere Directing/Editing team focusing upon crown king Louis Sauzedde building/testing a hybrid work skiff that all looks and handles like the work of art and craftsmanship Shipwright Master Sauzedde envisioned. I'm inspired, please keep them coming!
Americans like Louis have built this nation with dedications and hard work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. May your seas be calm, sun on your face, and the wind to your back.
Wow that thing really handles. Nicely done.
I liked that it barely moved when he stepped into it.
Larry Teague that's a product of the flat, squarish cross section of the Dory/skiff hull. There are trade offs, but these are stable and handle weight well.
@@jacobmccandles1767 I watched the entire series, I am going to finish my 48 Chevy truck build to get it out of the way and clear a space to build my own work skiff.thank you for showing me how in great detail. I am a carpenter and woodworker and learned quite a bit from your video..subscribed .
Larry Teague I wish I thought I were up to the task.
@@jacobmccandles1767 I hope you aren't sick... You looked healthy in the videos...
How can you "thumbs down" this video ? Seriously !
The world needs more of this. Pure, wholesome joy from start to finish. Just beautiful.
man i really like this boat ... my dream boat!! wish i had one!! just moved by a river and this would be perfect. gonna try to build one one day ... hope i can get it done in time for my Dad to go out in it with me .
With that hooligan at the tiller, that ablative bottom paint isn't gonna last long!
Louie, you remind me of a Bible Verse: Have you seen a man skilled in his work...he will stand before kings (Proverbs 22:29). Craftsmen of your caliber are rare today. Especially ones who share their hard earned wisdom for free (Mathew 10:8). I've watched all your videos and I've learned so much, was never once bored. You have a captivating personality! I love the way you communicate. Congrats to your videographer and sponsor.i know from my own experience CZcams videos of this quality are quite time consuming, thus very expensive to make. It was refreshing not having Ads shoved in my face at every turn. I was hugely impressed on how you did all the work yourself. So many craftsmen have an ego and leave all the unskilled (mundane) labor to others. Not you sir. Whatever the task...you were right there busy about it with a great deal of pride. I must confess before closing...i love you and your videos so much, I can be found every Friday morning searching for your latest episode! Thank You Louis for being a Boat Builder and a Teacher too!
A great comment, so many people have said great things, don`t see that much these days Regards Brian from the UK.
very-very well said !

How can you not love this guy? What an awesome craftsman!
"I love it when a skiff comes together." (Said with a cigar in the mouth)
Great looking boat! where is the link to the ebay auction?
ah, I see it in the description now, I guess I was too early!

See the descriptions below the video.
It's a please to watch this level of brilliance and the outcome... Excellent job!!
Nice Boat🚤
Wow! Awesome series. I watched from beginning to end over two nights. I couldn't get enough. The craftsman ship and sheer knowledge of woodworking and tool skills left me shaking my head with aw. That boat is absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for this wonderful series.
You can go to stodoys if you would like to make it yourself guys.
Awesome tip Greg
Thx
@@trenapickel6060 Welcome
Here's a guy who is a pleasure to listen to. He is sophisticated in his knowledge & skills so he speaks of those...However in doing so he speaks simply so we learn as he goes & " shows". ALSO we know he speaks truthfully because what he has built & the quality of it presents an undeniable truth as it speaks foe itself!
Words are laim when it comes to my admiration for you. Inspiring? Artistic? Knowlegeable? Caring? Thoughtful? Leaving the world a better place? Those are just a few things that come to mind. Like so many others said, I hope your passion is not one of a kind and that you continue to inspire those yet to come. Even so, you already have done more than God could ask of any man.
Seing you swish past in that boat reminded me of when I was little, and we lived in Regina. there weren't any boats around, but we lived next to the railway track, and I'd watch the guys come ripping down the track with their caps on backwards so the wind wouldn't take them off. I used to say: "When I grow up, I'm going to be a speeder man, and wear my hat on backwards." Now we live in BC beside the railway tack, but the rails are gone. So I guess I'll say: "I'm going to get a speedboat so I can wear my hat backwards!" Nice boat!
Stumbled onto your channel. Didn’t take much time to realize someone who brings a world of experience to bear on each project. With all the “wanta bes” our there it’s great to find a teacher who opens my eyes to better ways. A true artist
Dr. Sauzedde! I build Windsor rocking chairs for a hobby. You taught me a lot while building this boat! Thanks a lot for many hours of watching this boat coming to life! I truly appreciate your explanations for every detail as you build it! Thank you!!!
Before watching this series, I didn't have much inclination to building a wooden boat. But now it is very high on my list of things to do before I cark it. Fantastic series and the end result is stunning. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍😀
