I do have all the plans. The Boat is Fir tongue ang groove. I waterproofed it with PLC adhesive. It is like liquid nails. Does not leak a drop. The bottom is 3/4 ply marine grade.
LOA is 16'5". I can find my measurments and send them to you if you wish. Happy New Year!
@Irascottsdale You also happy new year. Yes please I would like to make it and when he is ready to show you with some pictures. If the dimensions would like to send my e address r.muijselaar @ hetnet.nl
What a great boat...How long is it? The frame ballards are a great idea. I would like to start a boat soon but extra cash is a little tight right now. I recomend Jeff Spira's web-site and tutorials for useing a strongback jig. for another freehand boat .. a site called JK wood studio lake skiff.. There is a product called Dap weldwood, its a powder you mix with water ..a poly resin i think..builders all seem to love it. my neibor turned me on to it. it doesnt replace epoxy but it has its use
I'm looking to build a skiff for working on moorings, your boat would be perfect. However, I am a beginner boat builder and will need guidance, are there any plans you would recommend? Any information you could provide be appreciated.
Thank you for your lovely note. All has worked out well, and I plan to build a new boat in a year or so. I would like to build a down east type hull.The serenity III still prowls the waters both salt and fresh.
I wish you well Captain and keep the water close, it will always be there for you.
I have built a 49' foot boat myself. My wife had cancer. It went into remission and then she left me. I still have the boat however and she is my friend throughout all of the pain of my life.
There is a plan, though we may not know it! Build somthing quickly. Keep Busy! The Music to my build was warren Zevon "Keep me in your heart for a while"
Things will get better Captain! Cindy though gone is still in your heart! The Cancer will be treated, Your wife leaving you will heal as well. Build somthing now!
there has always been something powerful about the art of wood boats., better for the soul then any manufactured pill of broken promises., Outstanding my friend !
Daughter came down with Cancer, wife with blod clot, and son after deployment went through divorce with wife. All in one week! If I did not build the boat I would have gone nuts. Thanks for asking all is on mend and seems better.
@Irascottsdale I know how you feel, I got prostate cancer, my wife left me, my dog Cindy just died 3 weeks ago, I miss her so much. I am a boat builder, I'm so depressed if I don't start a boat project soon I will probably off myself. I want to sail away and disappear...
Nice video and boat, I hope you're doing better than me...
@ronmess01 I can, This is Ira the builder.I used poly utithane building adhesive. It is 100% water tight! I spent about $ 800 in lumber and paint as well.

@Irascottsdale I watch this video when all things seem to be going wrong. I hope someday to be able to build a boat of my own.

irascottsdale, I think your boat is still fun to watch.
I have a few questions and I would like to know how you've created the boot waterproof. And what are the dimensions, will you do that?
