Boat Builder Central

I've done graphite on several boats and on my primary skiff it's been great for ~6 years so far. A few touch ups here and there but mostly because I was doing the bottom on another boat and had some leftover. I'm a big fan of how it wears when beaching and being drug; I'd do it again without hesitat...

Selling my DF20A, it's a 15" shaft, manual start and the lightest model possible at 97lbs. It has roughly 230 hours and has been maintained to the factory schedule. Starts first pull and runs great. Comes with maintenance kit, spare prop, manual, fuel tank and line. Looking for $2800, located i...

Do you have the epoxy/glass to go with it as well?

Thanks Fuzz, still for sale, make an offer. It's about as brand new of a package as you could get for this type of boat.

Thank you, luckily I have another GF16 though. I've found over the years I really, really like this hull. For a simple 16' boat it does almost everything you could ever need it to.

Selling my 2020 Bateau GF16.  This is the 2nd one I built and I was planning on keeping it at my inlaws lake house but things have changed.  The boat, engine and trailer have never seen saltwater. Boat: 1088 Okume w/ Marinepoxy and total fiberglass encapsulation.  Total Boat Wet Edge exterior paint ...

Thanks Jeff, it's a great boat but I've been told having 2 of them is a little ridiculous.

This is my second Bateau GF16 that was just finished and due to my current employment status I can’t keep both of them. To be clear this is a brand new boat, it’s only been out on the lake once for testing. Boat: 1088 Okoume Marine Plywood and Marine Epoxy used for the hull Entire bottom, inside and...

Oars were considered when I was building it but I never got around to putting them in. I think it might still be a good idea though, especially since when I've been out on the local lake it seems like the bass follow the boat. I wish they acted the same with my skiff when I'm actually trying to catc...

Thanks! I liked how the first one was rigged so I carried most of the same setup over. Unfortunately with my current employment status I'm not going to be able to keep this boat so I'll be putting it for sale soon.
