I think you do amazing things both in design and nesting. It is remarkable how the two seem to positively influence each other- a really cool take on form following function. As always, thanks for sharing with us. Please show us what is possible with a 5 x foot sheet of plywood. Originally Posted by spirit. Originally Posted by htom.

It would have been wiser to build a prototype before presenting the design. So the answers to your questions and the statements regarding possible concerns were more profound and not just assumptions. Nonetheless I will try to do my best: Hesp:. Flo-Mo, You have some very interesting designs. I have a few sheets of 3mm okume that were intended for a Stillwater Dusk , but may wind up as your one sheet wonder.
I mention Stillwater because you may not be aware of them and seem to have an interest in persuading plywood. They have come up with a few very nice tortured plywood designs that have a lot more contour than any other TP designs that I've seen. I built a Dusk for my wife because it is very light 28lb. It is fast for its size. The bright 'shear streak' on the boat in the picture is a 3" wide doubler of 3mm ply. Between the curvature, doubler and the 3oz glass sheathing, it is quite rigid for a 3mm thickness.
MN DAve, those Stillwater designs are interesting indeed. Do you have any photos of your build? Here are renderings of the 5'x10' and 4'x8' one sheeters side by side:. Wow, that larger sheet makes a BIG difference! Join Date Jan Location Alaska!

Decked over of course. The more for strengthening and decking. Perhaps just one float to make a super paddling proa. A question on cutting out. If a japanese saw is used to cut the straight lines with miminal waste, how do you cut the curves? Very thin jigsaw blade or stanley knife?
Brian, a good Japanese saw will cut all the gentle curves in this design. The R15 curves could be cut with a number of bites and finished off with a file. Not as elegant as the flo-mo use of a knife but certainly achievable.
What an interesting idea for building a trimaran! Cheers - John. This is wonderful new outrigger canoe by Solway Dory that shows what might be possible.
FloMo, thanks for describing the sequence. The first boat I designed and built a long, long time ago used flat sheets with a vee cut out to produce shape. What I found was that the transition from angled hull to round was "difficult" and produced a stress point.
However, you do seem to have put this transition point where the hull side is starting to flatten out. Looks like a great little canoe, I've got some materials from the local produce store and should be able to knock it out in a week or two by the looks of it.
I'll start a build log when I'm ready and let you know how it goes. Great design, thankyou very much flo-mo! Join Date Jun Posts 1, Join Date Apr Posts 2. I found this forum as someone had linked to this design. Has anyone tried building one yet? Looks like a candidate for my first build. If you are looking for some insight there is a how-to book, "Building Sweet Dream" by Pettingill which uses a similar approach to build several ultralight canoes.
But they do require two sheets of plywood. I'll have a look for that one. I've read plenty on the build method but never seen a one sheet canoe of this size or simplicity before. That's why it appeals. Most of what I've been considering use at least 2 if not 3 sheets and have a number of planks each side. Seems like this design has less to screw up during the build but still manages not to look like a pointy ended coffin once finished!!!
The book would be a good time killer while you wait. In the end no one on the water will know if your boat contains one sheet or two. Page 1 of 2 1 2 Last Jump to page:. Mark the spot with a magic marker. Then loosen the holding screws of the connecting links.
The lower unit should then slide down. Minor prying may be needed but do not force by using any pry bars the two sections apart. The engine label says to use SAE 30 motor oil mixed in the gas. Does this mean I can use plain 30 wt oil like I put in a car, or do I have to use outboard motor oil?
You can use that oil. You may get 5 miles per gallon from that motor. I have a Glasstream 18' open bow boat and it steers very hard.
It has a single cable rack and pinion system. I know that I can replace One Sheet Boat List with another one of the same type, but I see in catalogs there is a rotary type that is supposed to be much better.
Can you tell me if the rotary type will interchange with the rack and pinion type? You can purchase a steering kit from most marine dealers.
They come with cable and helm. You might have to modify the hole that the helm fits into. I am redoing the vinyl on my boat. I need to separate the throttle lever from the mechanism on the other side of the sideboard.
This is so I can re-vinyl that part of the boat. I have a Regal xl. I removed four screws already. Four other very large Philips screws seem to be holding the whole thing together. Any suggestions? It sounds like by the description, that you're working with a merc control box flush mount. Once the handle is removed, remove the four screws and voila! I can start my boat with the ignition key but I cannot turn Boat And Stream Questions Class 8 List the motor off. What could be the problem?
The starter is going to be starting a 40hp two-stroke outboard motor. It's probably the ignition switch. If you can get to the switch, check for continuity between the two "M" terminals on the back of the switch. With a key in run position and not in continuity put the key in off position, continuity. I have a boat with 80 horse outboard mercury. The boat and motor are from the late 70s. Despite the boat's age, I have had zero problems with the motor over the last 17 years.
When the boat was put away for the winter, the shift lever was in the forward position. When the boat was taken out of storage this weekend, I could barely get the shifter into the neutral position and could not pull it back into reverse. When I tried to start the motor the propeller would turn. Any ideas? Take off the cowling, and remove the shift linkage from the power head. Try moving the shift lever by hand, and then try the remote.
This will tell you where the problem is. My guess would be the cable, which is not to hard to replace. Besides, it's probably time to. You might also want to check the reverse lock. A rod comes from the lower unit that has two hooks on it. It is supposed to lock the motor to the tilt pin when the motor is shifted into neutral or reverse. Sometimes they corrode and stick.
My dad and I are trying to fix up his boat. The vinyl top was rolled up for about eight years and is stiff. Is there any way to make the vinyl more pliable or is it a loss? Just from experience and the information you've provided, I would recommend using the old vinyl top only as a pattern for a new one. These materials from just a few years ago are so incredibly inferior to today's technology, it's not worth trying to keep.
These days the materials are manufactured with new plasticizers and UV protectants that weren't even invented a few years ago. Make sure that if you use a garden hose that you do not turn off the nozzle while the hose is hot. Home garden hoses cannot take the heat and will burst under pressure. I have a small craft that was left in the water.
It was removed and it's covered with barnacles. The main part of the barnacles was scraped off. All that remains is a thin layer of barnacle skins. It's a fiberglass boat. I was considering using some kind of acid to make getting this off easier. Can anyone tell me what might remove it short of scraping and damaging the gel coat? Go for the scraping and then some sanding. Don't worry about the gel coat. When you're done, give it two coats of a good bottom paint. Check on the paint you use - some bottom Boat And Stream Cat Level Questions Volume paints have to go into the water right away.
You don't get blisters on the boat when it's in the water. They come from an osmosis build up in the lay up of the glass when the boat is made. Some get it and some don't. I've got some oil stains on the exterior vinyl cushions - I've tried and even bleach white but nothing seems to work. How can I clean them? Use some gas, it will take care of the oil. You will have to use vinyl conditioner to seal it. I have a Bayliner , 2. Recently the boat had a lot of work done. When I got the boat, it was idling very high.
I took it to the shop last Monday and just got it back yesterday. The mechanic fixed my idle timing, checked my fluids and cooling system. He put the boat in gear and he said it was fine. It ran perfect. I went to the lake today for the first time, and it floats, first good news. It took me a few minutes to get it running, and it sounded good. I put the boat in reverse, and I got this huge jerk and the engine cut out.
I put the boat in forward - big jerk and engine cut out. One of the times trying to put in it reverse it jerked pretty hard and worked for a few minutes. Put it in forward, jerked, and Private Boat Ramp Construction Questions cut off.
The last time I put it in forward and it cut off, I went to turn the engine over again with no luck. I swam over to the dock with a rope and pull the boat to dock, and then put the thing on the trailer. The mechanic said it ran in gear fine and said it was good. I don't understand what this problem could be.
You will have to take the plugs out of the engine and turn the engine over to blow the water out of the cylinders. If you are going forward and crank it into reverse real fast, it will suck water into the engine.
This is a stupid question. My boat says 8 people or pounds.
