Boat Builder Central

ah! Gotcha! Very cool!

So omitting it in exchange for a center console seems like it would be a concern? How do you compensate? Do you had another layer of glass or something?

So the center bench is not structural?

Hi Guys, This is Tony from Skiff Life. I met a few of you guys at the last rally where I brought my latest build, a FS14 Low Sheer: https://www.skifflife.com/2963975/boat-building/ I'm going to build a GF16 next for knocking around here in SW Florida. I have a few questions, some of these may need t...

Hey guys this is Tony. I’m sitting out a storm on SEWELLS point . Hoping this is going to pass shortly. If anybody is monitoring the board text me at 239-470-0863.

I'm not sure if the video of the SK14 running with a 8HP Yamaha 2 stroke made it to the forum so I thought I'd share it running up the Estero River here in SW Florida. This run was with +340 lbs. gear, motor, person & full 6 gallon gas tank with beefed up construction (double taped seams, glasse...

Thanks Mike, sounds great...I love your build! Do you have a pic of the placement and type of drain you are using in the cockpit?
