De25 build

[Pat4]

Hi Guys,

After a few years of inactivity on boat building i’ve now started the DE25.
It will be a modified version. Just like my 2 previous boats.
I’ve been thinking of it for quite some time now; about how to.

Decided to give it a go and see how it all turns out....

Thanks for the OD16 pictures and have fun with the new boat building adventure.
Where in the Netherlands are you? I am born next door in Belgium and kept one of my boats in Veere, Zeeland.

Can't wait to see how you build it out.

Hi,
I’m living about 140 kilometers from Veere and 40 kilometers from Belguim. In a little town nearby Breda. In the hart of “De Biesbosch”. Lots of water; rivers, small lakes, creeks etc.

The changes I made to the original plans are:
Raised the sides 7”
Added 3,8 ft in length in order to put the outboard in a covered well. Total lenght now is 28,8 ft.
Changed the bottum from 3/8” into 1/2” thick ocoume ply
Put on a swimplatform.

All the above is already done and it looks good so far.
I will post some pictures later.

I guess a lot of you will tell me that this isn’t gonna work but I think it will. It has to because I allready did it.
