Building a small plywood boat based on the Tewantin

I built this boat in the summer of 2021. It is built from normal construction plywood and epoxy. Boat specifications: Design based on the Tewantin by Tim Weston: https://www.timwestonboats.com/small-... 3,4 m long and 1,5 m wide, final weight is 88 kg. Around 6 hp is a good motor size and the boat can safely take 3 persons (probably more). It planes with 1 person and my electric motor (ca 5 hp), but with more people in the boat it does not get up on plane with the electric motor. Materials list: 6 mm pine plywood, 4 sheets 1,4 x 2,5 m 9 mm spruce plywood, 2 sheets 1,4 x 2,5 m About 10 kg of epoxy Some glass fibre sheet, 160 g/m² Polyurethane paint, 2 liters (1 litre per side of the boat) Some planks, screws, etc... The total material cost was around 1000€. Overall I am happy with how it turned out, the only problems I see are that: It is a bit heavy (I could have used thinner plywood and less wooden details, but the boat would not be as sturdy) I should have put one or two layers of fibreglass on the bottom of the hull and the railing to protect it from wear. As always I am happy to answer questions in the comments :) Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:17 Specifications 00:37 Joining the plywood sheets 01:26 Cutting the hull parts 02:05 Building the hull 04:16 Hull interior 06:28 Painting 07:02 To the sea! 07:52 Test with 5hp electric motor 09:36 Final thoughts and outro
