That's a crazy looking boat, young man. You did an awesome job! I like that you didn't just cover it all up with decks and boxes everywhere. The way you worked out the rod storage saves a lot of floor space- just love the whole thing. Thank you for sharing with and taking us along for the ride. Time to split the water surface. Good luck out there.
Awesome build. I searched this title because I wanted to do this myself but after watching I don’t think I would finish in my lifetime! Have you ever calculated the cost including your time? I know the satisfaction you feel is greater than if you just bought a jon boat and you got just how you want it. Once again great job.
Thanks ! It was al lot of work and since I did it myself it was cheaper than buying an all welded boat. And yes the satisfaction of doing it yourself is worth it too.
I live your build. What di it weigh at the end of the hull/structure phase. Trying to build a light welded 14' jon under 260 pounds. Not sure if it can be done. Thanks Mark
Thanks! I’m not sure what it weighed but I think around 300lbs, I made it purposely light with 16 gauge sides and a 3/32” bottom. Now my only problem focusing on weight is when welding the 16 gauge sides warped and it doesn’t look as good but I’m over it now haha. Thanks for the question!
I would of skipped the carpet and put down more alum. Couple years back I stripped out my 18 ft removed the old glass/resin plywood and put in alum dia plate then primer and paint. looks good though very cool to build you own. If I had the welder to do so I would build a 2072 tunnel hull.
I though of that but I was also considering weight. I'm usually in the boat with bare feet and I keep the boat stored so hopefully the carpet lasts. Maybe the next one I'd do that if I get a bigger motor.
No main reason, the weight difference wasn’t huge and I had the plywood and didn’t want to spend money on another couple sheets of aluminum. Maybe it was dumb but I store the boat inside so it should rot. Thanks for the question
Thanks! Summer's finally here and I'll be enjoying her for sure. In this boat with 2 people and some luggage I see about 22km/h , my old lighter 14 vhull I could get close to 30km/h.
If I can remember correctly, I had the hull all fabricated, welded including gussets in 5-7 days of 8 hour working days . And I probably another 5-7 days doing all the small stuff like adding seats paint prep and painting, carpet, casting deck. All that small stuff takes more time than I thought.
@@dooryardfabrication3973 I was going to use 090 for all of it, I have some leftovers in the shop. I plan to use a 2x2x1/4" "T" for a keel so the bottom will be split all the way before I start. Did you use 5356 wire for the mig ? I have a push-pull Miller so I can go either way. I have been using 4043 for all my fab work because it welds better without all the splatter.
@@dooryardfabrication3973 I am in the process of building a mud motor too.I am using a GeoMetro G10 3cylinder 1000cc engine.I will build a big jon boat later. That will be a lot of satisfaction when you get your boat in the water.Good luck fishing!
Ok dude I’m hooked but if I watch this whole series and don’t get to see it on the water I PROMISE I’ll do whatever it takes to learn how to put a VooDoo Curse on you. Only takes me about 4 hours to get to New Orleans. Think I’m kidding? 😂
So does she kick? Joke aside, this is a *bitchin* boat, and to have seen that you went from sheets of (.090? .063? Aluminum?) to a boat i would give up my rod to fish in for a day is astounding!

Thank you so much! I like hearing the feed back. I'll have a video out before the summer ends of the boat in action!
That boat looks awesome bud, you did a great job!
DUUUUUUUDE this was an amazing series!! Very well done.!.!
Thank you man, don’t forget to check out the last vid, the test drive !
Great job
Que top, deu trabalho más o resultado foi acima do esperado agora é testar na agua
Turned out so good
This is simply amazing!

Amazing job man!!! Id love to.buy the plans you used for this boat from you
Thank you! I have no plans, if I did I would let you have them. It's an easy build as you go project!
Send one I can try it out love fishing 🎣 😎

I have almost the same as this boat
Nice! Big casting deck on it?
@@dooryardfabrication3973 Near! Mine is 80 cm long deck
@@MaskatuPescaruAmator777 nice mine is 6 feet long so about 180cm. I can lay down on it lol.
@@dooryardfabrication3973 I love what you did! Congratulations and success
Great build
Well done!
was the outboard motor home made as well? All looks amazing!
Yes it was, everything homemade. I have just made a new mud motor from a 670 predator . Just haven’t got the videos made yet .
I would of skipped the carpet and put down more alum. Couple years back I stripped out my 18 ft removed the old glass/resin plywood and put in alum dia plate then primer and paint. looks good though very cool to build you own. If I had the welder to do so I would build a 2072 tunnel hull.

@@dooryardfabrication3973 the alum dia plate would of been much lighter than plywood
Oh sorry I see what you mean, I thought you were just talking about the carpet on the hull full, and putting dia plate for an additional floor
What size was your aluminum sheets?
Sorry, I want to ask, what is the small hole under the machine, what is it for, please provide a video and explanation..
Ibam from INDONESIA
I think what you are referring to is the drain plug, if some water gets in the boat you can drain it when you take it out of the water.
I was wondering where's the flotation in case you put a big gash in the bottom....
jaka jest róznica w masie z poprzednia łodka co miałes silnik mud motor 13 km ? i jaka jest róznica w predkosci w tej obecnej ? na tym samy silniku
Nice
Why no storage in the front deck ? I feel like that's alot of wasted space but all in all awesome build brother.
I still use under the deck as a storage , usually cooler, lifejackets , and larger items. Thanks man!
why would you use wood and not just aluminum sheeting ?
No main reason, the weight difference wasn’t huge and I had the plywood and didn’t want to spend money on another couple sheets of aluminum. Maybe it was dumb but I store the boat inside so it should rot.
Thanks for the question
Nice!!! What surface drive is that? Custom too?
Yeah! I made that surface drive last year.
@@dooryardfabrication3973 that's badass!!!!!
@@azlongtales Thanks bud!!
do you make make also boats on orders?
I haven’t yet but I probably would
Wow man good work! Now get out there and enjoy it!! What kinda speeds are you seeing with the mud motor?
Thanks! Summer's finally here and I'll be enjoying her for sure. In this boat with 2 people and some luggage I see about 22km/h , my old lighter 14 vhull I could get close to 30km/h.
@@dooryardfabrication3973 that’s awesome man keep up the build videos 👍🏻
@@WVA541 thank you and will do!
how long .wide.high of the boat..i''m interested to make it..thank a lot..
It’s in every thumbnail.. 1448
It’s 4 feet wide at the bottom and about 5.5 feet at the top and 14.5’ long . The depth of side if I can remember is 20”.
What state are you in if you don’t mind me asking
@@OITM25 Up in Canada, New Brunswick (wishing I was in the states)
@@dooryardfabrication3973 how much aluminum would it take to make a 1436
How long from start to finish did it take in all?
If I can remember correctly, I had the hull all fabricated, welded including gussets in 5-7 days of 8 hour working days . And I probably another 5-7 days doing all the small stuff like adding seats paint prep and painting, carpet, casting deck. All that small stuff takes more time than I thought.
How much was the aluminum?
Aluminum was around 1600-1700$ Canadian.
@@dooryardfabrication3973 Where did you get it? I'm near Ottawa and that seems very cheap for the prices I'm seeing around here!
@@JEC920 I could be off on the price, when I bought the aluminum I also bought other steel with it so I'm just estimating .
Did you design this yourself or build from plans ? I'm planning to start my 1st real one soon and have learned a bit watching this. Thanks.
I designed it myself, if you know what you what it's an easy build as you go project. Start with the bottom , then transom then trace your sides.
@@dooryardfabrication3973 Thanks, I'm going to use 1/8" bottom and .090 sides, loosely following some of Spira's designs.
@@andy6043 good idea, I wish I did that. I did .090" bottom and .062 sides and the sides warped from welding .

@@andy6043 I like the idea of the T bar. Yeah I used 5356 wire but you can also use 4043 on 5052 aluminum
Nice job,you got'er done.
Did you build the mudmotor too?
She's done! Ready for a test drive now. Yeah I built the mud motor last year.
@@dooryardfabrication3973 I am in the process of building a mud motor too.I am using a GeoMetro G10 3cylinder 1000cc engine.I will build a big jon boat later.

Thanks man! Im just as surprised I went from sheets to a floating boat haha. I'll have a video soon of it on the water !
@@dooryardfabrication3973 did you have any plans you were following, or just a rough idea of what you wanted?
@@KommieCid just had a rough idea, started with the bottom and traced the sides, not too much planning needed besides ordering enough material .
or i know more detail for design..
Good work but wear a mask!
You are right there, I need to wear one all the time when welding and painting, those fumes are terrible
