Yes, the 1/3 method applies to every thing. You can get the figures and use a thin cut of wood to illustrate the lay of the lines and make adjustments by eye to please your tastes. The beauty of building anything is that you can make it look like you want to!! Good luck and happy building!!

Sorry I’m so late replying back. I have not completed the lathe, I have needed it but since I have been able to get by without it, I haven’t had time to finish it. However, things seem to be easing off some so maybe I can get back to the project and get it done. My Instagram account has some more recent pictures. @WyattHopkins

No, not enough torque. As you can see there is the three phase marathon motor running the spindle.

There were no plans for this boat. I built it from scratch out of my head. The boat is 15 foot 6 inches and 42 inches wide on the bottom, total width is 48 inches across the stern. I learned quite a lot building this skiff. Think in thirds when building, 1/3 rd the length for width for example.

@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC Thanks for your answer, I will apply imagination and your video to build my boat. thanks for the advice.

Thanks, learned a lot!!

I used two laminated layer of 3/4” for the stern and 1/4” for everything else.

@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC thanks man 🥰

That is the end result!!!

@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC I mean after the swarf is cleaned off, it looks good but really hard to see the detail with all the swarf, no idea if it's a nice finish or a great finish with it covered in swarf

@@wayneshephard the other person’s comment should help.

I looked all over for a smaller engine, I happened upon the 60 hp on eBay and was a day trip to pick it up so that was the main reason for this. I had initially planned on 25 - 40 hp. Fortunately the displacement of the hull allowed me to sustain the 60hp. I had to really get creative to accomplish enough set back to get the plane height of the propeller within range. 42 GPS MPH and yes about a 6 second hole shot!! LOL!! I’m running a 4 blade stainless prop 15 inches of pitch!!

@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC Thanks for the info.

Thanks for sharing

Good day !! I thank you for you nice comment!! I am not sure that it is the best but I appreciate that. I literally built this skiff from intuition!! No plans or anything we’re used. I can tell you that whatever you have in mind as far as size goes , do the build proportions on 1/3rds. Meaning if you want 16’ long then make the width at least 5’ wide, so on and so on. Make you sides in proportion to the width, unless you just want some really tall sides for some reason. Totally flexible as far as more goes, but try to stay at or above .

Thanks Sam!

I have no plans, I just built the skiff as it came to me.

@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC I know the feeling mate. I started to build a 16ft dory that landed up being 19ft when I finally finished it ! Well done with your boat though from us down here in New Zealand.

@@johanvanderwouden6862 thanks for the kind comment. I really want to build another just have too many projects at the time!!

Thank you. I just built it as it came to me, no plans.

Note the video name. How smooth are Clearpath servos. And all I had to do was auto tune the servos using the free software you get when you buy your servos.

Me too!!! Such busy times!!

No I have not seen his skiff. I built this skiff just from my thoughts no plans or copying any style or make. It is not that heavy considering what is in it. Serves me quite well.

Dave Scheer no I have not built another boat yet, this boat is 15.5’ weight is comparable to its size. Boat is very solid and runs about 45 mph. Very smooth. Registration is not that hard to do, you have to apply for a title and then you can get your registration easily.

JAMES HOPKINS , I'm in Florida , does the boat need to get inspected by the state for flotation and motor capacity ? What would you have done different on your boat to make it better ?

Dave Scheer I didn’t get mine inspected. You could check into it, different states have different rules. My biggest change would be to have more V in the hull, then I would most likely use stringers instead of the cross beams,/lumbers.

yusuf saleh shop was not spacious enough!! LOL!!

@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC OH .I HOPE YOU MAKE BIGGER BOATS 1 DAY .GOOD LUCK TO U

Greg Cole could be!!! LOL!!!

Hahahaha! 👍 The video mores around and transitions too fast to really see anything. As soon as I start to look at something, it's gone from the frame.

Ali Saleh it’s called “gel coating “ I sprayed 24 coats and then sanded and buffed!

trường đệ võ no drawings to be had she was built from my mind.

Kermit Frog Amazon had them a few years ago but Tormach sells some that will work too.

@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC thanks for the reply. Is there a particular size I should be looking for, or are they making them for the Pm727? Looks like you had to make some aluminum adapter plates in the video...

Kermit Frog I believe a friend got some for a 440. Not sure if they discontinued them or not, this one on my machine was 12” wide and I made plates to connect to the machine

www.ebay.com/usr/xxuchen0?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 this is the seller on eBay that I get the thread mills from, really good to deal with.

Thepriest39 Amazon, search coolant nozzles.

Robin Vater the servos I am using are Clearpath. Teknic.com. I am using Nema 34 frame servos. I believe I provided the information in one of my videos. I will try and find it and email it to you.

Pas Seaman 15 1/2 feet

I meant the vertical and floor frames progression, from the transom to the last V on the bow.. If it is possible mate will be awesome, thanks for answering

Pas Seaman Skiff is built of plywood, so when I laid the chime I just stopped the tempers at the widest point then let the natural bend of the wood determine the transition . Nothing on this skiff was steamed.

Also, the bee runs to the stern.

Small Shop Concepts thanks!

MakoShark column was broken in half.

@@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC WOW how did it break was it dropped?

MakoShark I purchased the machine damaged, I believe it was dropped during shipment and I got it cheap. Decided to try to save the column. Hopefully this will hold. I have stress relived it through several heat and cool cycles and it is still together so we will see

Sandy Strait not yet, I built it and have used the boat several times but not had anyone to video it.

Kent Klapstein there is a boring process in Fusion and this is the use of that process!!! I do however have a boring bar set up that I use for any accurate bore or bearing pocket!!
