Love the build, especially love seeing the water test at the end!!!
Very nicely done, a really good fabrication of a well constructed craft.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you :)
j'adore, c'est typiquement ce dont je rêve. bravo très belle réalisation !
well done.. love to see another video of your masterpiece in any design of boat.🤙🏼
i believe this ol dude built the boat that was strong enough for the Italian Job movie.......
Wish I could have all the skills you have to have made this.
Pure genius. Would be cool to see a bass boat made from scratch like this.
That would be cool! I fished bass as a kid, but there aren't any around here ;)
@@EM-hu2bj do you sell these as build plans for international DIY boat builders?
That's the satisfaction of building with your on hands your own design ❤
Wow beautiful, functional. Great video too!
Thanks Meg :)
Lot of time put into the boat, looks like a quality build.
Thanks!
Do you pretty much spool gun everything? Or what percentage is TIG? Does that do well for making the seams water tight? I tend to get pinholes when I MIG seams. Just started a 13’ skiff build last week!
Wonderful. And I love the studio welding shop.
I sure am lucky to be working in such a fine shop!

I must Say A Perfect Job & Beautifully Done.
Thank You.
Plz plz post more!
Super impressive build.
Beautiful work 👏
Great design, very solid boat.
Nice lines, and she rides well....... good job mate!!!
such a lovely piece of work.. very inspiring
Thank you :)
Thanks to you
Nice job on your build of that boat
That's pretty incredible, dude - as a lifetime boatman, I'd be damned proud of myself if I burned all the wire to put something like that on the water someday!
Awesome job
Extremely impressive 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks :)
Beautiful!
Really nice work, and the finish is a nice boat
Ничего себе сколько много времени и труда в основном у сварщика. Сварщики вы молодцы
I spent about 120 hours on it, and I had a helper for pulling the hull together and bending on the strakes, plus a few other parts. Probably around 30-40 hours of welding.
Nice and strong, nice work. 10 thumbs up.
Nice work guys! I recently build 2 of Rick Welin's boats. (metal boat kits) I love your custom designs. Well done!
Nice! I'm building a Bruce Cope design next month - it'll be my first build from purchased plans.
@@EM-hu2bj what one are you building? I have been looking at a few on Specmar myself. I also like the cope designs too.

@@EM-hu2bj yup that's suppose to be a great boat. Hope you make a video of that one. It's on my list.
@@gregepp3082 I've built a Cope 11' mini jet. Things a ripper and geos together well. I design boats myself using solidworks. If you would like a look at a couple boats i designed check the link below. plans are free for now because the software im using is a student version and i'm not allowed to make profit until i buy the software which cost 5k plus.

Very nice build.
Thanks for the video! Well done!
Glad you liked it!
Please let us know when plans are available, I'd love to buy them when they are!
Gorgeous! So rad!
Thanks Sara, looking forward to seeing you up here again sometime soon!
Anyone building these
I'm fully jealous with your talent, skill keep it up, nice job 👍
Absolutely amazing
looks soooo much more comfortable then fibreglass!!
It is!
..it looks beautiful and tough
GREAT JOB
very awesome project boat built 🤩👍👍👍
A real work of art…
Cool work 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Interesting to see this built, well done. I am curious, why is the floor so high? and that space under the floor not used for storage? Just seems like the center of gravity is a bit high on this. But perhaps there is a reason for this..or this boat has a specific function that I am not aware of.
I love to have a boat someday...nice build..
Thanks :)
Wow. That is very cool.
Great video
Beautiful boat
Beautiful boat ,
Thank you, love it. For me, ideal would be higher rails--and I would love to see it on a dual axle trailer, why? Not weight bearing so much, yeah, I get this is more than enough. But with a dual, you can carry extra things in the boat without thinking about it--AND, when you have a high speed blow out, and it can happen, even with the tires maintained, you have an extra level of safety. Again, ideal world.
Thanks!
Higher rails are definitely an option.
Tandem axles are nice, but this rig will be going about 2km from the launch ramp to storage twice a year, on a rural road with a 60kmh speed limit, so no high speed blowouts for this one :))
Cheers!
@@EM-hu2bj I hear that, you if you can get 90 percent plus of your needs, you are great. I just always think about ideal designs, IF one starts hitting the open road, maybe to camp and fish, dual trailers can't be beat. Mine is on a single too, and I keep tires in top condition, and a spare; still in that ideal world I would take a dual any day. Fantastic boat, thanks for posting--and you can't beat that engine.
@@jimquanticI’ve been towing a single axle boat trailer for 18 years and not had a blowout. 2200 kms return trip from Australind to Shark Bay annually, we change bearings regularly, trailers been serviced and fixed as required
and I for forty years, and I too have not had a blow out. That said--and in line with boating in general a "back-up" for everything is a good idea. I carry a kicker engine--and needed it only ONCE in all these years, but still "best practice". SECOND is weight bearing, you simply have way more with a dual. @@boikebeagle
The gunnel handles are inspired. Nice and wide and stable. Draft must be very short.
sick saw skills!!
How did you find 16’ long aluminum sheets? Awesome job btw , looks deadly !
Great build!
Do you sell these plans?
Beautiful boat❤
Now you know why good aluminum boats are riveted.
I saw so much opportunity for storage before the floor went in, I want one!!
Very good construction of the boat here in Brazil, this boat would easily cost 25 thousand dollars. My family has a tradition of building large fishing boats measuring 10-15 meters out of wood, I'm interested in building this boat
A lot of work and some kygo beats
HADIR OM PAKET KOMPLIT, mantap bisa buat kemana saja
Nice job 👍
Thanks 👍
Yeah that boat came out nice.
Nice speed boat ❤️❤️❤️
wow, impressive
your video is great
thanks for yor information
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice boat.
Great Job, is that your own design or did you purchase the plans for this somewhere? I’m interested.
Not sure if i missed it. Would be good idea to fill underfloor with foam
Thank you very much
Great job
Very good, nice job
Thanks :)
Ficou muito show parabes pelo seu trabalho Deus te abençoe tamos juntos. E o meu sonho de possuir um barco de aluminio
I love this! Salute...
This is amazing
this is why I am in welding school I get to do this eventually
AH WHAT A FIND! So stoked I came across this. What does a boat like this cost? Inquiring from Victoria BC
Looks like a Lifetime boat I have one 14 ft skif 9000+
Hermoso la verdad muy novedoso. Haría uno pero con chapa galvanizada. Pero el modelo ese!
awesome 👍..
It's wonderful
Thank you :)
Wow fantastic bro
I like it amazing
good job
Awesome video. What was the cost of this build?
Great looking design. Did you stagger the longitudinal stringers from the strakes or try to put one on top of the other with the hull sandwiched between them?
Sandwiched them :)
Great video. May I learn what type of aluminum you used for boat building?
It's in the info for the video, hit the down tab.
The plate and sheet is 5052, and the extrusions are 6061. Cheers!
good job
Can I ask for the size and thickness of the aluminum plate?
Very nice work my man!!! Aluminum is not cheap these days but that thing turned out awesome. What size Honda did you put on it as I never saw the size?
Thanks! It’s a 50hp Honda
very good. can you share general plan for this boat if possible thanks.
Muito top show de bola ⚽️
Thanks، Good job. What is the thinness of the sheet of aluminum?
looks good, but why not have full size stringers like full triangle of metal sheet spanning from one side to the other ? that would make it much stronger, would provide more support in the chop.
also why not fill bilge with floatation foam for safety
Nice, very good 👍
Bagus banget..pembuatan perahu 👍🤝🇮🇩
How many man hours did it take? It's amazing
Wow very nice
This is wonderful! Do you sell projects like this?
Good job
Great job. How much did the boat weigh without the motor?
How many prise and speed plz tell me thank
What about the length and width of the item?
Where can we get the plans for the boat. It look amazing.
Hi Bruce, I will have them available on my website once they are ready
@@EM-hu2bj are they ready yet? I am also interested
How do you know what angle to cut the hull out when you first start? I saw you cut a curve, but how did you know what that should be?
it's very nice
great skill.
what is the boat size
Respect for being able to build this with just the two of you. What tool is used to make the crease on the hull sheet?
I cut a partial depth score (later welded up) and pulled the edges in with ratchet straps and chains
hi everybody, someone knows what's methods are applying in the construction process?? relationship with the welding process.. pls and thanks.!
Fantastik how many day ? Good job
