I don't really undestand how the stringers would be the height of the casting decks thouGh? I guess I'll check out some ph15 build pics to understand

What about keeping the stock stringers (which are flat boards laying on the hull) and not installing raised ones. That should add extra freeboard. The image seems too show the stock floor (sole I believe is the correct term). Howwill that effect performAnce and strength of the boat. Pretty much buil...

well i have the plans and materials already to go. but am cautious about how i want to go about building this boat. im looking to build a hardcore flats boat. i want the lowest possible sheer (for easy poling) with a full deck layout. i decided to go with the ob15 so it could fit in my garage and wa...

awesome boat, you guys are artists with these boats. i couldnt find the thread on the poling platform. i would love some info on it, to maybe come up something similiar for my boat. im building a ob15 with an identical layout, sheer lowered almost 5", decks in front and back, very simple. thank...

If I were make the beam wider like 6" would that help with being less tipsy

We were thinking a merc 9.9 but still wanted to have front and rear decks as well as a poling platform. Would the boat be to tipsy at 16' for poling and walking around? Thanks

How much do think it would affect draft? Also would it change the beam/width. Instead of trimming what about just removing 2' off the back and moving all inside supports forward to keep the boat widthes as wide as possible

I really want to take on the project of building my own technical poling skiff, but 18' is too long for me. A 16' boat would 10000x's easier to build/store in my garage. Is it possible to build by plans but to remove a 2' section out?
Thanks
