Boat Builder Central

I would get some extra epoxy just the same... its nice to have some extra when you (like me decide to add a console or do a repair..) And i woild definately glass the sides if i were to build another GF14.. it will keep the paint from cracking and add years to the life of your boat .... doing the la...

Ok.. ive bought 3 sets of plans (GV15, PH16, OB17) to study and decide what to build next and after my GF14 evo2 :D the boat will be used primarily as a skiboat and play pen, but some trips and picnics. the lake im on is about 15 miles long and never more that a mile wide.. waves are almost never mo...

Hey builders and boaters.. i have re-launched my gv14 i built a few years back.. the bottom was as specified built in 1/4 inch but seemed a bit flimpsy and the engine i had on it was a tad anemic.. also with noone in the boat to keep the nose down it was a little to much "nose up attitude"...

Ill try and get the trim right this weekend and get some rund with the GPS to what she tops out at.. im allready considdering re-faring the bottom and getting the transom edge sharper, this can only mean one thing.. time to get a new project going instead of re-re-doing somthing that works so well a...

wow that is a good deal... im sure the shipping will be a bitch but on the other hand ill have somthing that worked first time out..

do ýou have any experience shipping to europe, or perhaps an outlet here??

never tried a hydrofoil, just a tiller extension that did the job perfectly, so when the honda died and it was time to shop for another engine and i found the nissan/tohatsu 18 horse 4 stroke with remote and electric start.. so the forward steering conversion seemed logical... (the honda was only a ...

Ive just finished stiffening my GF14 by laminating a layer of divinycell on the inside of the bottom, and this got me thinking.. as im about to embark on building a GV15 for skiing to get the most out of the 70 horse evinrude i have... would it make any sense building it in 1/4 inch (or even 4mm) wi...

hmm i guess the only extra cost was the steering kit, i ordered a teleflex kit from ebay with a 13 foot cable, steering wheel and a steering arm for about 200USD all included, the motor control box with gear was bought with the engine, as was the fuel tank.. so the complete extra cost for me was abo...

and here is a few pics of the finished evolution of the jon boat now named the green flash (its painted out and in with a epifanes PU paint in opal green) http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s295/deuce_454/IMG_0510.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s295/deuce_454/IMG_0512.jpg http://i155.photobu...

I completed a GF 14 a few years back, the panels including the botttom was 1/4 inch as specified in the plans (3/8 inch ply for bottom was optional but i opted fro 1/4 for weight reasons...) the floppy bottom and nose up attitude under power have annoued me ever since so this spring i built a consol...
