Can You Paint a Boat with House Paint?
It can be done. I use house paint on most of my home built wooden boats (Acrylic Latex). It may not be the right option for you, but it makes sense for my approach to boating and boat building.

Paddling Where Boats Can't Go

This beautiful spring fed creek is slowly being destroyed by pests. When it comes to "boats" there is such a thing as the right tool for the job. I use my cheap iSUP board to access a beautiful wild creek of the Cumberland River in Tennessee.
Paddle Boarding May NOT Be What You Think

Assessing the SUP board from the perspective of a small boat sailor and adventurer. I had some preconceived notions about the stand up paddle board, and it turns out I was mostly wrong. The inflatable SUP is more than a pool toy and has it's place among a fleet of small boats.

do you think making a skiff out of pallet planks would be doable? of course ideally with planks that havent rotted, cherry picking the best ones
I suppose it would be possible if you could find them with boards long/wide enough. The little 4x4 pallets, no way. But you can sometimes find good hardwood boards on those that would be useful for making smaller parts on a skiff.
10:02 Carp ??
Yes, invasive asian carp. They're everywhere.
Thanks for all the videos. The are simultaneously relaxing to watch and inspiring!
Blasphemy! You must use 2 part epoxy high build low drag ultimate space shuttle bottom paint or your boat will immediately sink! Seriously though, a brass rubbing strip on your keel would be a really good idea. You could also use aluminum which you can get at Home Depot.
Another great video, sometimes the nearest adventures are the best adventures. I was stationed at Ft Campbell in the early nineties and lived in Linton on Lake Barkley. I used to drive over the Little River everyday. One Saturday I decided to put my canoe in the river and paddle to Cadiz where my wife would pick me up. I scared my wife to death because it was well after dark by the time I paddled, waded and dragged my canoe over numerous logjams to arrive in Cadiz. I was scratched, tired and sweaty, but it was a great day; sorry honey.
Always good to hear from someone familiar with the area! True adventures are usually not what you'd call.. easy. Sounds like you had a real adventure haha. Believe it or not, I have yet to check out The Little River, or much of anything on the East side of Barkley.
Splendid video! Love your approach and your spirit of experimentation and adventure. Proudly flying one of your pennants! Keep up the great content. Thanks you!
Thank you very much. Appreciate you!
My great grandparents built a houseboat from metal drums and wood to float and swim on the KY river. I applaud your efforts to do something similar on a smaller scale.
Yes, it covers and looks great..... at first. We recently moved into a 1940's farmhouse that prior owners used acrylic paint on EVERYTHING. Doors, trim, and cabinets, are ALL pealing and we will be stripping and repainting with a more appropriate paint. If "cheap and dirty" works for you and you don't mind painting it again, and again..... house paint does the job at a fraction of the cost. Some projects deserve a better finish while others look better with your money saved in the bank.
His boat doesn't stay in the water (like a yacht tender pulled along by its painter) or the weather, so the house paint will last and last and last. In fact, he has done no wood preparation, sealing or varnishing, just paint which I would have done for absolute maximum longevity regardless if it's stored indoors when not in use.
You may be right, but that kind of extensive pealing could also be the result of poor or nonexistent prep work (sanding/cleaning before paint). There are also different grades of acrylic. latex is a lot better than vinyl. Absolutely, some projects deserve better.
@@cumberlandrover Could also be moisture in the wood. Used acrylic paint on dry new wooden boards on my house and there are no problems whatsoever after 4 years, and it rains ALL the time here.
@@cumberlandrover I think you nailed the perfect answer for an infrequently used boat. You can use it when you want, beach it without worry, take it home when you're done, and slap another coat of paint on it when it starts looking shabby. Of course it's not "best quality" but it's best price for the right application. Well done.
New sub here. Bro you have inspired me to build my first boat. Just need to finish my garage...
Try Teflon keel/skeg strip. Very common on herring/ sardine skiffs in the bay of Fundy where boats are drug up long distances.
Great idea thanks!
A good source of teflon can be found at surplus industrial ,food manufactureing used equipment stores. Etc.
Works nicely with power one would have in the shop.
Never painted a hull nor a wood hull but I painted the interior of my fiberglass boat and it's lasted year. My thinking if I had a wood hull I'd used house paint as scaping the ground , gravel water I doubt marine paint would fair any better.
Strange title ! Virtually every dinghy ever built can do this !😂
Not fully rigged they can't! There are a few commercial dinghies that might be able, but most have tall stayed rigs that would get hung up in branches and even most kick up rudders wouldn't function in a creek that shallow. My skiff is designed to make this type of thing easy.
I wonder how good a thin strip of sheet metal wrapped over the bottom on the skeg would hold up?
We did the low budget car racing (Champcar) for several years. We painted our 1984 300ZX with house paint and a roller. It worked just fine.
You've never thought of fibreglass sheathing and then bilge stainless steel keel strips where it rubs so much on the skeg and bow?
I'm really not a fan of glass and epoxy. hate working with the stuff. Not saying I will never use it. It's obviously effective. I would be more inclined to tape the chines if anything. Part of the experiment with this skiff is to demonstrate the utility and practicality of plain old wood without hi tech materials. A protective strip on the skeg is a good idea.
Looks like your 12 footer is your Goldilocks boat. Not too big; not too small.
It really is!
Talking house paint brings to mind that somewhere in some boat book on the shelf across this room, the author talks about doing a kind of ersatz fiberglassing with house paint and sheer window curtain material.
I have never used house paint, however I have used Rust-oleum paint. Boy did my friends make fun of me. It really did last and I was even surprised. Eventually they the test of time proved the paint. I’ve got some house paint. Must be time to build another boat. Ha ha.
I LIKE IT ,...maybe a sharks mouth on the bow Mike
Heck yeah man! Haha
Wonderful! So calm…
Kind of sad seeing that creek that color. I've been near creeks like that and they smelled awful. Too bad so much pollution.
in the words of Tommy Callahan "Stop playin with your dingy!"
What are all these trees doing in that water?
Are those shoes your own CR brand? @5:50
No, they're Floafers. EVA foam moccasins. Similar to Crocs, but easier on the eye and stay on your foot better.
Multi-talent, hat off!
Beautiful eye catching lines..super filming & narration..bet Wooden Boat Magazine would love presenting this via a full write-up. Canyon , with big gratefulness, and I'll 2nd- ' for sure- Saucy
What resources would you recommend for learning to build a boat? I'm inspired by your videos and would love to build one that's good for river and coastal sailing/camping and could take 2 to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids.
The Sharpie Book by Reuel Parker is a great place to start.
Nature is resilient, no matter what mankind throws at her, given time, she bounces back. I've always felt that mankind can make the planet worse for ourselves but in then end it will go on with our without us.
Absolutely
Looking at that dirty water and all the logs and Sticks, I bet you went over a fishing honey hole, especially since it is so hard to get to, I love your channel, I hope you do a catch and cook video sometime! Also again your videography is getting so good and well done
Fascinating - thanks for pushing your boundaries and ours into some of the other waters in the area.
How do you get a plan to make these boats
The muddy water in the beginning is high in suspended solids and silt, likely from passage through pastures and farm drainage systems. The fish breathing at the surface in this area show that there is too much organic material in the water, and the O2 content is low. When you hit the creek, the clearer water and gravel indicate a substrate which has some bedrock outcrops and is more natural. That's why it's cleaner and noticably changes the character of the river. If there is a river conservancy in your area, it may be useful to get them to look at the farms and town runoff in the turbid parts. Frequently, it just takes a little mitigation to get smaller rivers back to a healthier state. And more often than not, farmers are very interested in improving the ecosystem adjacent to their property. It makes it more productive. And it's better fishing!
Hey Google tube censors, ya'll got some catching up to do with me. I have insulted you panty waste passes many times in the last couple hours. Waiting...tick tick,tick.......?????!!!!!. Yes, I like punctuation and being censored makes my day, fkn snowflake's
do you havve any dimensions/plans anywhere i would love to build this
I really dig your channel, Sir! I'm upstream on the Cumberland in Wilson County, TN. If you ever find yourself this far up the river, say Howdy as you pass - this video earned you a bowl of beans and a few hoe cakes!
Nice explanation! It seems like you should have seen some turtles in there.
I did see a few, but they're tough to film. They're usually sunning on a log when I see them, but they spot me from a long ways off and dive into the river.
Thank you for the film of the fish especially
nice documentary of the "MUDDY ONE" I dont wanna sound like a know it all but , be careful when NOT on the lpublic lakes if I remember right KY laws on this are a bit unique in a boat/floating , its not tresspassing but a foot on the bottom of the creek IS TRESSPASSING everything in KY not documented as PUBLIC land Iis PRIVATELY OWNED land and quite likely precious to someone beware dope growin areas for traps/ or owners if you saw many clams it aint poluted the thick red mud just looks like shit Ive been up it maybe a mile or so from the ohio river end in a motorboat LONG AGO got to see an ancient dock that had steps up to an old nightclub time long past from even b4 me and i was born in 67 I dont know its poluted anymore but the crap i saw in the early 70,s exceeds all immagination to what it looks like now IF you accidently slipped in then you may have died from that bath nice vid Mike
Lord help us if you run out of creeks thanks for the ride
There are endless creeks in this region. But even revisiting the same places never gets old because the landscape is constantly changing with the seasons and over the years.
What type of pollution is in the Clarks River? Ag runoff? I'm only vaguely familiar with it. I'm in Central Kentucky. I've paddled much of the middle Cumberland River above and below Lake Cumberland, haven't made it down as far as LBL on the water, though.
I'm just speculating about pollution. Can't say for sure. Ag runoff is very likely. The river also runs through some populated urban areas and always looks really dirty there.
@@cumberlandrover Yeah, urban/suburban runoff definitely doesn't help anything. Keep up the good work!
You have the most wonderful channel!
Thank you very much! Glad you're enjoying it
Ha! Enjoy Tennessee. You should bring a collapsible Tenkara rod.
I have a cheap telescoping rod I use sometimes. There were a lot of fish in the lower creek. Sight fishing can be fun in the clear water, but sometimes its frustrating to see fish that won't bite haha
What an absolute beautiful boat. Well done mate.
We Tennesseeans welcome you and we are glad to see you visit. I rejoice to know your visa was approved. Bare feet are fine seeing as you are from Kentucky (and a northerner) we are just happy to know you are walking on your hind legs these days (using a SUP is easier that way) I hope your tail isn't too uncomfortable tucked into your pants like that. In any event sailing attracts enthisasts from all species and we in Tennessee are an open minded lot. Love your videos!
Are plans available for this boat?
I always enjoy your explorations , they are similar to adventures I had in my early days in canoes and later in sea kayaks. Really nice filming, keep finding these gems that are remote, but close by. Thanks!
Thank you. I will not see chemicals in the water until it is too late ❤
Do you carry protection? Personally I would be worried about getting attacked by a hog, I’ve seen many hog hunting videos where attacks happen
People attack the pigs in every video that I have seen on the subject
Wow Rover your videos are getting so good, great intro and editing, also you are going hard with the “survivor man” style shots and I know that requires a ton of tedious backtracking, thank you for sharing your explorations and all of your hard work. Ps I was hoping after you spotted the wild boar that the next scene would be of you by a campfire cracking a beer with wild bacon cooking lol. And have you looked into Inflatable Kayaks ? Well I guess you did mention the paddle board kayak seat. Thanks 🙏
