How to build a plywood kit boat !! Step # 1 "The Building Form"
got a name for her ??? … Caitriona , Ariana , Gertrude ???
Sweet... going to look into this.
Are these still available?
Yes!
Lose the music!
if you added more weight to the bow area or foredeck would the boat plane better considering the aft section outboard weight and passenger weight off the cg ???
Why the music, just why
how do you buy the kit
Hi Earl, Go ! to zzzipkit.com. or give me a call (714-206-5222) We have kits in stock ready to ship.........
@@zipkit1967 cool I need to make some room in my work shop should be getting back with you soon
Hello, are you open normally?
what size engine do you use I have a new suzuki 20 is it to small for the zip
Where is part 2? And the rest for that matter?
how do you think the zip will perform with a 20hp suzuki 4 stroke
Awesome, what material type's? Solid wood or plywood?
Both! Plywood planking and solid hardwood frame.
For planking all plywood? For finishing, epoxy / fiberglass?
What type of screws were used on the plywood, and were they pre-drilled and with a countersink, or not
Cavitation refers to bubble coming off the prop. Not sure what these plates would do for that. Plates look like trim tabs that effectively lengthen the waterline and should help with porpoising.
How did the plates do? Been a year with no follow up
Did you ever do the follow up on the plates?
Dp you guys ship internationally ?
South of France for exemple ?
Did you use any fiberglass over the puzzle joints, or just epoxy between the seams? Cheers
the price been raised?
Man there so cool. Olde clinker style ski boats. Resurrection. smaller and cheaper. I would love to try and launch something like that in our river. Great work.👍
In the kit comes the cutting plan for cnc, in case I want to have it cut in a company?
One of these with a mid mount chev 350 or 351 Windsor would be unreal!!
Por gentileza como possa conseguir as medidas desse barco para fazer
Bravissimo 👏
Move the engine back about 6” and you can also raise the motor up 2 inches and put a More pitch prop on.
I have to order one. Just what I’ve been looking for for a winter project.
I think it would be interesting to build one out of pvc
would be really fun with a 3 cyl 70-75 OMC on the transom. probably no heavier at 220 lbs than a big clunky 4 stroke
What is the interior finish?
Everything is encapsulated in epoxy resin with a top coat of marine varnish.
@@zipkit1967 is there any fabric used in the process?
@@nomansland4811 Not on the interior. 7oz.Glass cloth on exterior bottom and sides.
@@zipkit1967 Thanks.
Is this a Glen L kit? Honestly didn’t know you could get a kit. Thought just plans.
Yes sir ! available from Glen-L or direct from www.zzzipkit.com
@@zipkit1967 Thank you.
That’s a unique and beautiful take on the Zip. Using the kit, instead of building the whole thing from scratch, how many hours does it take from start to finish?
ruclips.net/video/k2BRnqPzsqE/видео.html
@@zipkit1967 cool!
outstanding craftsmanship.
What’s the max Hp rating or engine weight recommended for this hull?
Hi Michael, Glen-l recommends 40 horsepower maximum. We have a 30 horsepower 4 stroke Suzuki on ours and realized 30 miles an hour with two adults a cooler and couple of Grandkids. For more information on the Zip see the link below and please check out our ZipKit, www.boatdesigns.com/14-Zip-twin-cockpit-runabout/products/378/
Very cool. Talk about a time saver and getting perfect frames.
No directions? Just music and some dude pointing now and again. No thanks.
Hi Dave ruclips.net/video/CxUodlkZjG8/видео.html Try this one .
Cool stuff. Definitely subscribing
That's nice the zip comes pre cut now I built the old one from glen l that you had to cut your own wood chines plywood parts
Thanks Michael! Yes the kit does save some time..
Great job
Thank You !
I am sure you will find a good way to do this on the Stodoys website.
can this be built in a weekend
No, it takes approximately 300 hours from start to launch. please save the time lapse video of have one of our builders James. ruclips.net/video/k2BRnqPzsqE/видео.html
Trailer cost/how to get one
I'll check with Peter as to where he bought it. We have a list of products needed to complete your ZipKit build including the trailer if you'd like more information please email me at mark@benchmarkprod.com
Hello, are you open normally?
How long did it take to get to the finished product? By the way the boat looks great 👍
Hi Phillip, We conservatively estimate 300 hours from start to launch to complete the Zip from the kit. See the time lapse of our builder James. ruclips.net/video/k2BRnqPzsqE/видео.html

I would feel safer picking it up rather than shipping, so it won’t get all banged up
Come on by ! We are in Westminster, CA
Man I would love to TRY to build this, what about shipping what is the cost to ship across the country to the east coast and how careful are the shippers
I found out $550 for shipping, are they careful about handling and shipping?
@@jamespolucha6911 Yes, we've had good luck. We use FedEx priority LTL with a lift gate service an call ahead appointment.
@Dan Coffman. The "Zip" is a Glen-L Design and they already sell all the supplies in kit form for the Zip. www.boatdesigns.com/14-Zip-twin-cockpit-runabout/products/378/
I do alittle wood working do you think I should be able to assemble this ? Sure looks nice
Hi James, Sure! it doesn't take any special skills or tools. Basic hand tools are all you need handsaw, plane, drill, and screw gun
So you have already fiberglassed and epoxied the bottom and sides at this point?
Is this kit suitable for coastal waters, or is it only suitable for inland waterways and lakes?
I don’t think it’s big enough for rough waters. I read somewhere in one of their runabout pages that these boats are meant for protected waters.
Congratulations!
Feels like it had not been troubleshooted enough before the additions. Crisp edge to transom?, Wrong angle on transom? Weight distribution? Wrong shaft engine? Feels like this kit rarely has porpoising when built... On rare occasion utility built boats have this. Tank near the rear? heck, I'd even say engine wedges could have solved the trim issue.
