The Boat

[guitargeek1122]

why dont your windows have screens? or glass? Bugs must have ate you up all night!!

[asssface2000]

its a floating glory hole

[greensburgla]

What is the hull made out of?

[mattamiller]

@greensburgla 1/2" OSB fiberglassed on all seems

[FrankenFraud]

Some words of wisdom, I'd reconfigure your stove pipe set up. That is unless you want a fire. Because that sure doesn't look like a double or triple lined stove pipe going up through your wood roof.

Just a heads up.

[jjdatme]

how much money did it cost to build the boat not including the moter ??

[mattamiller]

@jjdatme Just over one million.

[WorldStove]

sweet! the hull looks like a giant pdracer.

[flyhighsi]

I need some advice. I am about to embark on building a houseboat from scratch and where it will be situated will mean a logistical nightmare when it needs to come out of the water for the hull to be maintained.Therefore i am looking for the best material to build the hull with to reduce maintenance. A steel hull that is then "sprayed metal" has been suggested. I have also been told that this could last 50 years or more without neding to come out of the water...Any advice would be great....

[mattamiller]

@flyhighsi I would search for a user by the name of hustn99, here on youtube. If you have a question on boat building he's THE man to talk to. Nice guy too. He's under my subscriptions list.

[davetileguy]

@flyhighsi Unubtainium is the most ecinomical and longest lasting material ,go to ReedRichardsdotcom for prices

[MrAwesome10000]

i would love to have that during bird season cause its easy to shoot from but not enough windows

[BenSoley]

that boat is sick :)

[ravenlorans]

Did you have to license/ register/ get a title/ pay tax on it? In Florida you would have to. Oh and a 5gal bucket with a toilet lid, hole cut in the bottom and hull makes a great toilet.

[danielmaddox01]

tom sawyer and hucklebarry fin lookin asses

[akamaster09]

thats fuckin sick dude! if u made that good invention!!!!!!!!!!!!

[asssface2000]

i bet a lot of gay sex happens in that shanty...........

[chip1cob]

Im buiding a odd looking boat at the mo, out of offcuts in the garden and seeing boats like this tells me, all the people telling me im crazy litterally means they dont know shit.

[mattamiller]

@chip1cob Building our shanty, and floating it was some of the most fun I've had. My memories will last a life time.  Look forward to seeing your work.

[ltuomela]

its a ice fishin shanty man..lol..converted for summer..

[darkesthour117]

Looks more stable than many production boats ive seen.

How does it handle in rougher water?

[darkesthour117]

by the way, I think that this boat is beautiful, and could kick the A** of any boats within a hundred miles of me ;) (srry keyboard won't let me make a colon so i'll just wink)

[Lambycapo]

thats so awsome is it stable when you are sitting on the roof?

[mattamiller]

It's stable, you would be pretty hard pressed to tip it over.

[mattamiller]

@Johnnymitch74: It's 14 feet by 7 feet, the hull depth was somewhere around 18 inches. Check out my other videos with the 3d annimation it shows the design better.

[walkertongdee]

It's not all about a 50,000. dollar boat is it.

This is pure enjoyment without frills or money, this is real boating!

[mattamiller]

Thanks bill, I couldn't have said it better myself. How did you end up in Thailand?

[walkertongdee]

well it is a beautifull country with freedom and low living costs.

[mattamiller]

Thanks!

[ebusdk]

great to see how he enjoys dipping his head in to the water his mate just pissed in.

[CAOBAS]

That's the best.

[srvinfinity]

How can you see where you are boating with the "shanty" blocking your view?

You might use some side mirrors. That could work. Or do you rely on a buddy to give you directions?

[oneofakindfrom86]

cool

[studuke7]

how much did cost to build

[mattamiller]

We garbage picked lots of the materials, no more than $400. Could be done for even cheaper

[MrSmokerl4d]

ok now thats bad ass

[mattamiller]

Thanks

[ibcnunabit]

All you guys wanting something like this, just Google "shanty boats." There are lots of plans out there, some free. These were popular in the 19th century through the 1950s' and lots of poor folks used to live on these things.

[Bagpipe13]

cool chairs on the roof

[mattamiller]

Thanks

[03edgex600]

is that a gamefisher you got running for an outboard

[mattamiller]

Yes, good eye!

[bonyfingers13]

no just fLAT DOWN PAY YOU. SRRY CAPS through mail

[mattamiller]

Send $300 down payment, it'll be ready in a month!

[bonyfingers13]

[mattamiller]

Do you have a down payment?

[EducatedSwampRat]

Now this is something i would do. do you buy the boat party or just built it?

[mattamiller]

I would highly recommend it to anyone. We built all of it. Keep me updated if you decide to build one.

[studuke7]

the coolest thing ever

[mattamiller]

Thanks, means a lot.

[xixero303]

Nice one! Now what u need is to put a steering wheel up on the top where the lawn chairs are, have it connected to the motor with a cable of some sort. Than you can see where your going instead of having to sit behind the wall all the time.

[jaknil]

Thanks for the response video, a first! Always nice to share your mad plywood boat projects. My next build for the commuter boat will be a corrugated steel kayak!

[arewethereyet9]

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i want one!!!!!!!

[brightcarver]

sweet!!!

[Catfishingonthejames]

How in the hell do you see where your going?

[mattamiller]

Yeah, we just kinda had to peer around a corner it was originally suppose to be a sail/paddle powered. In the end we put a 2.5 HP motor on it. It wasn't enough, but it moved.

[snorky500]

Hey, This is toothpick ocean liner builder Wayne Kusy. Thanks for the message. It didn't to my message center. Dont know why. But congrats on your boat. Dont drink too much. Wish I could join you! Sincerely Wayne

[clamcrabber]
