Here is what i got 12 pcs of 2x6x16 feet, 4 pcs 2x6x12 feet,
2 pcs 2x4x16 feet, 15 pcs 2x4x8 feet, 2 pcs 1x8x10 feet,
10 pcs 1x3x8 feet, all very straight and kiln dryed to 16-18 %, all spruce.
This is what i would like to do, build a boat 15-16 feet long and 6 feet wide at floor
and out to 7 feet at top of sides its called the beam i think,the sides will be 33 inches high,
with a shallow vee bottom, outside to center drop of 2 inches,
it will be a powered by a 18 hp johnson outboard with a full back seat and a full center seat,
and the front will be a 4-5 foot casting deck, with a round v front.
i want to start to close the sides in at 8 feet i hope this will make the boards more easy to bend
into shape, and i saw a picture of a fishing boat with that shape and i liked the look,
then if i use a 2x6x16 for the center keel and 2x4x16 for the two outside keels,
and use 2x4 for floor and sides ribs,then cut 2x6x16 in half to give me two boards,
3/4 thick by 5 1/2 inch wide 16 feet long,and use then to cover the hull,
then cut 2x6x16 into 3 to give 3 boards of 3/8 thick by 5 1/2 wide 16 feet long,
for the sides,will put together with screws and epoxy,and cover the hull with
cloth and resin 4 inches above the water line,then use epoxy sealer on the rest of boat,
and on the inside also to keep the water out,i will paint the hull and the outsides,
would like to keep the wood look inside the boat,as you can see i never build a boat before,
but want to try,i have a big shop with heat, so i can build the boat inside,money is short so want to use,
the wood i got at home,will only have to buy screws,epoxy,cloth,sealer and paint,
i have a motor and a trailer but no boat.will use on the Ottawa river in Canada, for fishing mostly just me and my son.
