A cedar boat I built a few years ago

[coastal1]

This was my first attempt at a cedar planked boat. It still needs final sanding. Length is 12ft. beam 4ft. 16" depth. My ex-wife confiscated it so it now resides in GA. I will be building a few more boats as time allows.

Cool... looks like you did a good job. Too bad about that outcome, though. :-?

 

[jeff...]

Wow - inspiring, I wonder :eusa_thin ...

 

[erasmussen]

Looks like a good boat just too bad you cant finish it:-(
cant wait to see the next one

 

[Matt]

Very cool! I am dying to build a boat, but first I have to work down my project list a little bit... So, hopefully someday I will try to pick your brain!

 

[cskipper]

Nicce boat.

Matt, if your list is like my list and you wait until it gets shorter, you may never get it done! :lol:

 

[jeff...]

Any plans you could post? Your boat is real inspiring, I've been thinking about trying to build one for a while and never thought about cedar being boat making material. Cedar sure is light when it's dry, so a boat made from cedar would be real easy to carry.

Thanks

Ben, that a fine looking vessel. Sorry you didn't get to finish it . . . the finished cedar would be beautiful.

Better luck next time

Nice job on the boat. Hope you get to build the next one soon. I would really like to try building one.

 

[jeff...]

DaveO - you should have built one of these already, shouldn't you?

 

[coastal1]

Hey, sorry no plans...this one is of my own design. But I can steer you in the right direction in getting started with a few general guidelines of length,width and a few angles you need to know. Just let me know the size and style of boat you are thinking of. Plywood would definately be a better choice for a first time build. But i've built both and can help with both

That's a great looking boat. I hope your "second attempt" turns out even better!

Jeff,

By the time you finish the deck around the pool, you might not want to look at cedar for a while :rolf::rolf::rolf:

Ray, I apprciate what your saying, but I'm also thinking I would have enough left over to build a boat like this I could test it out in the pool - yeah right :slap:

Good boat, sorry about the location of it now. Guess you told her to go float her boat, and she did. Look at it this way, you worked out the kinks with that one, and the next one will be so much better.

Beautiful job. Sorry you didn't get to christen her. However, given the precept that "A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into", at least you aren't pouring money into that one!
I've have about 5 years of old Boatbuider magazines I got when I was living on the Gulf coast and never had the time to build one. Thought I would when I moved here but that's not looking too good for the near future. Good to "meet" someone who actually "got-r-done":eusa_clap

Go

 

[coastal1]

Hey Go, It was a little cheaper to just let the boat go with her than to try and divide it. I've built a few boats...and plan to build more as time and space allow.

Plus a divided boat don't float :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry couldn't help myself:-D
