Homemade boat !! Tango skiff

Thank you brother! 🙏🏼 was all worth their smiles

Thank you 🙏🏼. All the best on your build.It feels like you’ll never get there but all worth it in the end.

Seriously amazing 🤙

Thank you 🙏🏼. I was surprised at how well she runs.

He's got to be going about 35 which is pretty impressive for that little 28 SPL. I've always liked those little Evinrude's. They're super reliable.

@@thatunknownguy2680 yeah they are 💯 great motor's!

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks man! Yeah I also considered using foam. It’s still on the table,I might just use it for the next build 😉

This type of boat construction is called stich and glue in case you'd like to research further.

Thank you 🙏🏼

😘😘😘

Thank you 🙏🏼. Forgive my ignorance,what’s the benefit of trimming the motor? You’re the second person to suggest it. I’m new to the whole boating world. And great idea on the kill switch,added to the to-do list 👍🏽

@@eastcoasttrekker9676 reduce bobbing of motor, increase speed, ...

A good starting point is always make sure the cavitation plate is parallel with the keel using a straight edge. By appearances on your setup I would take the tilt pin and drop it down one notch. Very nice unique build 👍😎

@@eastcoasttrekker9676 man be proud as hell I know people that have been into boats for years that couldnt pull off a build thos clean. Well done!

@@eastcoasttrekker9676 at about 9:43 when the boat starts bobbing at high speed on flat water, you can trim that out of it. Note how smooth it was around 10 minutes with the big dude in the front. Same result different technique. Pushes the front of the boat down. I spent hundreds of hours in my teens in front of a motor like that, great rig. I have great respect for someone who builds their own boat as a way to get started on the water. Excellent vid.

Saudações Marco.. estou querendo fazer um também. Uma dúvida.. a borda dele é alta suficiente pra entrar no mar ?

I lost some receipts but if I’d have to average,I’d say approximately $3500,motor and trailer included.

Try clicking the link again, I corrected it.

@@eastcoasttrekker9676 That resolved it. And their page did explains the unique transom design. Thanks. One more question for you - what kind of plywood did you use. The picture early in your construction lead me to believe you didn't use Marine grade. No biggy, that's always a debate. I'm of the opinion that if you pull your boat out of the water after use and keep it dry in storage, non-Marine grade would probably be fine and would be a more economical option for first time builders. Marine grade is currently about 2X more than good quality construction grade.

Thanks man! I hit 32mph with just me on it and 28 mph fully loaded.

Also did you use 3/8 ply and 1/2? I can’t find both 3/8 and 1/2 in the same ply.

It’s the tango 15. I did use 3/8 for the majority and 1/2” for the transom. Worth mentioning I did not use marine grade plywood. I’ve used the boat quite a lot last season with no visible weak points. My boat never stays in the water and is stored in the garage so that’s another thing to consider.good luck with your build!

@@eastcoasttrekker9676 awesome! I’m in the middle of the build and went with 15/32 exterior ply. Pretty much 1/2 inch. Was a hassle bending the hull but I got it done with some ratchet straps. Im modifying the plans and making it a flats skiff. Just started gluing it up! Thanks for the info!

It was rather easy though,just time consuming.If you can read and follow instructions,you can build this boat. Why should I need to trim the motor? It runs perfectly flat on wot,the bobbing on the first full speed run was because of excessive weight in the back, second run was flawless when weight distributed evenly.

There's a dude in my marina that I see every morning fishing. He's probably about 70, but honestly he could be older. He fishes out of what equates to a plywood box, and uses a random piece of wood as a paddle. People have been building boats out of all sorts of materials for many mannnnyyyy years. Everything in life is relative. Oh and ECT is right, this type of boat construction IS easy. There's a LOT of room for error, and things don't have to be perfect. Don't be so negative.

@@eskaymotorsports600 Negative . i was being light hearted and comical.

@@eskaymotorsports600 No I know a bunch of guys who have decided to make their own boat and got $3000 into it and quit. You can fish out of a plywood box if you are a hobby fisherman. You are correct but if that is the case buy a used Jon boat or small aluminum something. Boats are cheap if you do your looking around and unless you are good at building things and have a specific design you cannot buy anywhere there is no need to build a boat. I bought a fully rigged 14' alumacraft with a 20 hp outboard on a shore lander trailer for $150 bucks off craigslist once. I got a Stratos Tennessee addition fully rigged with a power drive and 115 hp merc for $500 because it had flooded and I cleaned it up and carpeted it and fished it for a decade before I sold it for $3k. Unless you have a specific design to work up that is unfindable building a boat is just a lot of work for a boat that will not be as nice to use as one you could get off the craigslist.
