Awesome, this was super useful as I crunch ideas around of what I might do. TBH this boat is really cool, and with the plans, relativley easily achievable.
It's a simple layout for a little boat - and the versatility (sail, row, power) is nice. I hope to have mine in the water before the end of the year. Other "life" things have slowed my progress down - but I am at the varnish/paint stage for the topside and the bottom side is water ready!
Excellent video explaining the process and the benefits of taking the class. The only thing about building something yourself is knowing and fretting over every little imperfection. But that's what makes it uniquely yours. Great job!
great job so far Wayne. was surprised to see you finished so quick. your ideas for finishing sound really practical without going overboard. looking forward to you continuing your project.
The Jimmy Skiff II is a great boat. I built one last winter and have have had a great time sailing and fishing with it this summer! I clocked in at 183 hours but also built the sailing and did a lot of varnish. I varnished the whole interior and exterior transom but painted two tone green/white on the hull. Probably the longest part is getting the epoxy fair on the inside to make the varnish look good. With all the little nooks and crannies its super time consuming to sand. Seriously so much sanding.
Wayne! This is awesome that you took the plunge and are building one of these! We've looked on CLC's website a ton, and they have so many cool boats! Can't wait to see your finished product!
Great Video and very thorough explanation! I think another advantage of going to a class to build this boat is that you won't need to get a lot of clamps from Harbor Freight or Home Depot if the school has them for you to use. My concern has always been what to do with all those clamps after building the boat? Guess you'll just have to build another!
Nice looking Skiff. I've built a 4m self bailing solo skiff using the same methods but looking to build something more like this for the family out on the river. I have to ask what happened to the 1977 Datsun Skyline?
Get yourself a flush trim bit for your router as opposed to sanding, you'll be able to use the bottom board as the level to trim the overhang off no problem. Love the boat!
Congratulations!!!! Been waiting for you to show us on your accomplishment great job!!! Would love to see it all natural like those old wooden Cris Crafts
Your doing a great job on that kit WtBG, I would have to do something like that in a class also, if I didn't it probably not get done. Like you the finishing at home wouldn't be a problem. I can't wait to see more on the Jimmy Skiff till it's done and on the water.
Your Jimmy skiff II is going to be so much classier then the aluminum boats that many of us run. This boat will give you a feeling of euphoria every time you take her out.
Absolutely gorgeous love it!! You should be very proud of your boat You will enjoy it for many many years. Stick a new Suzuki 6hp motor on there. It only weighs about 52 pounds.. I think your boat is perfect!!
Amazing job Wayne. I’m impressed. I’ve built model craft before and maidens were always incredibly gratifying, can’t imagine a full sized boat. I’ll bet you’ll have an ear to ear grin when you get out there and film it. You will film it right? 😅
When I built a canoe back in the day at school, our teachers favorite part was sanding. Had the same class back to back( 6 hours total a day) and we would spend close to all day just adding resin and sanding it back away
I would love to own this boat at some point, but as a 15 year old, there are probably some other things I should be spending my money on 😅 it would probably take me quite a few months more than others but I seems so nice taking this out to the lakes of Utah
No I have never done any woodworking projects before. I built a wooden model boat over the winter just to learn a bit about stitch and glue, but that's it.

Honestly that's a sweet boat. And you built it! I would love something like that. Very cool.
Thanks!
Thank you, it is marvelous the boat you made and the way you show us how to do it.
This is really cool. She looks great.

Thanks for sharing!
I love these! They remind me of pirate dinghies!
I’m in Montana and I want a Jimmy Skiff after watching the video. Great job, thanks
I think the navy blue color would look sharp on that beautiful boat you are building! Nice work Wayne! Looks great so far!
Thanks!
Wayne! This is awesome that you took the plunge and are building one of these! We've looked on CLC's website a ton, and they have so many cool boats! Can't wait to see your finished product!
Awesome, thank you! Hopefully it will see the river before the end of summer.
Great video, I love that you can motor, row or sail. I am really looking forward to seeing this boat on the water.
Thanks!

good point! I actually bought a bunch of clamps just in case!
Looks great nicely done
Thanks!

It came back with us and was my first car until it was totaled in 1986.

Yeah I agree, but the labor involved to keep it looking sweet.

Very cool. Very nice. Is now on the list. Thanks for the content!
Awesome job! I like your paint and varnish plan, she will be beautiful.
Thanks a bunch!
Thank you
Looking good! I am excited to see it finished and on the water!
Wayne, that is looking beautiful. NICE work! Let me know if you need any tools (routers, cutters, etc.).
Will do!
Your Jimmy skiff II is going to be so much classier then the aluminum boats that many of us run. This boat will give you a feeling of euphoria every time you take her out.
Good Boat Wayne ! ..... Excellent design and Nice Looking ! ... Very safe and simple ! ..... Cheers ! :-D
Glad you like it
Awesome little boat nice job
Thanks 👍
Good work ❣️⛵
How do you manage getting the boat onto and down from the truck bed if you’re not using a trailer?
I think it might be tricky to do solo sine the boat weighs over 100 lbs.
Absolutely gorgeous love it!!
You should be very proud of your boat
You will enjoy it for many many years.
Stick a new Suzuki 6hp motor on there. It only weighs about 52 pounds..
I think your boat is perfect!!
Thanks! I hope to try something like that on there sometime in the future
Amazing job Wayne. I’m impressed. I’ve built model craft before and maidens were always incredibly gratifying, can’t imagine a full sized boat. I’ll bet you’ll have an ear to ear grin when you get out there and film it. You will film it right? 😅
Of course I will!
Seems like a fun and rewarding activity
When I built a canoe back in the day at school, our teachers favorite part was sanding. Had the same class back to back( 6 hours total a day) and we would spend close to all day just adding resin and sanding it back away
Wax on
Wax off
been waitin for the vid, looks good
Nice Wayne !
Thanks ❤
Very cool. Congratulations!
Thanks!
Would you by chance know of van rietschoten & houwens built dinghy sailboat
No, sorry I have not heard of them
Nicely done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful boat, im definitely interested in building one! The work on a wooden boat is never really finished
I just recently finally got back to work finishing this boat - and it’s such a pleasure to work on.
Cool boat sir, Ive followed you for many videos.
I appreciate that!
Well done, good sir.
Thank you kindly
I would love to own this boat at some point, but as a 15 year old, there are probably some other things I should be spending my money on 😅 it would probably take me quite a few months more than others but I seems so nice taking this out to the lakes of Utah
A big factor is being able to keep it out of the weather.
In tx Farly boat works has a class to build these if anyone is interested.(I’ve never done it)
I really like your boat. It is going to be a ton of fun.
Thanks - I am excited to get it completed
How far off the coast can you sail this until it gets dangerous?
I wouldn't be going far in any small boat. These are for decent weather, moderate winds and calmer waters
YOU DA MAN WAYNE!
Tiss a nice lookin boat Wayne
Thanks!
Amazing very nice ❤a wooden boat building videos 🎉 Best contact 🌹 my favorite channel love you guys.... form Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
If I were to challenge all of my non-carpentry skills; I'd do the class for sure. Being the comic relief is something I'm good at.
Can’t wait ‘till I finish mine- John
You're well on your way!
Well done, Wayne! A great platform for lots of fun. And I'm sure the ibuprofen was hit last week.
It was an ibuprofen week!

That is my boat and the class I had thought about building
Well it’s not the Tally Ho, but it looks nice on my iPad, good job!👍;)
Solo un palabra... WOOW
gracias!
