Boat Builder Central

Hmmmm, interesting discussion! I have carpet in my little boat, but I am a lure chucker and don't generally have mud and guts etc in my boats. If you are standing casting lures I think having carpet under your feet is less fatiguing. I used high quality marine carpet and have only replaced it every...

I keep waiting on updates man.

guess the holidays are not for building.

trying to see more so i can decide if the mg21/22 is for me

aah that clears it up/
I would certainly chose metric. i mean who uses imperial .

imperial guys don't get to offended, I'm joking

barraman, I am going through ur build thread.
your 10% scale was overall scale or just lengthwise?

nice boat

Michael's 60/40 sounds about right to me - 40% from the waterline to the top of the gunnels and 60% from there to the top of the hardtop. Thanks Lee for the detailed info. By 60/40 I meant 60% from waterline to top of gunnels, etc. Guess it's safer to opine 50/50 :D seems like u also want to build ...

Several points: - inboard - gull wing thinghies - freeboard First the freeboard. The PH22 is a flats boat, a type of fishing that does not exist in Europe but maybe in Suriname. That type of fishing requires a low freeboard. The GP21 has more freeboard. Inboard: That is a challenge. We don;t have m...

yes it is very aesthetically pleasing. i am thinking about this boat real hard, my dad is trying to force me to go inboard, because that's also aesthetically pleasing. but i rather not cus i wanna build a 2nd boat if this one i successful and saving money so i can just switch the outboard. also when...

The PH22 is a nice hull. been looking at study-plan en the pdf but i wonder if the depth of the hull is deep enough, to make it nice and proportionate looking with the hard top. is it easy to increase the overall depth(freeboard and or draft). or are my eyes deceiving me and it is deep enough? also ...

just to understand why do you not advise the ph22(if i use that one i wont scale it down to 21). reason i askis i like the shape of the bow and hul better if you look from the top. don't really know how to explain it as English is my 4th language but i like the bow shape better, and the rest of hull...

You can do that with almost any of our hulls. To build a hard top is much easier than to build the hull, we can talk about the hard top features later, choose a hull. What are you going to do with the boat and where? That will define the type of hull. You say you live in the Tropics but your locati...
