That’s terrible! I would put it like this: if you’re a handy capable person, and you have the space to do it and the time and desire to learn along the way, you can build this boat. But! It is physically taxing. There are days when I finish a six hour stint of glassing or gluing and I’m spent. I don’t have much time during the week to work on it so I pile it on on the weekends and it’s a hard job. Some tasks require a chunk of time but if you’re organized, a few hours here and there can mean regular progress. Some weeks I do well and some I don’t. Besides, you’re building it for fun so the only timetable that matters is the one you set, not someone else’s. Do what you can when you can and enjoy the build. Good luck to you and tell those critics that unless they want to come help, they have no right to say anything.
nice, i want to build one soon, got the plans too. so keep posting my friend. very useful. please if ispossible turn off this air filter, the sound mix the audio.
I'm down here in Eugene. I may never build a boat. But if I do, it'll be this design. I weld and have a truck that can pull a sizeable boat. I am going to look on the website and see if there is a powertrain option for diesel. I have diesel experience and tools.
I believe there is as it accepts other inboards. You could peruse them glacierboats.net website and probably some discussions on it. Here’s one discussion I found. www.glacierboats.net/forum/index.php?topic=751.msg4472#msg4472
@@kevinhornbuckle huh. Bout the best I can say is go to glacierboats.net and do a search for diesel inboards. There are a number of discussions on pros and cons, too speeds and mileage. If that doesn’t work send me an email at rhenryinoregon@gmail.com and I’ll send more detail.
@@rhenryinoregon Sorry. On first reading I did not get that you were joking about your boat. I thought there was a sunk example you were linking to. Anyway, I did see the informed discussion on the website. That is helpful.
Good on you mate👍I’m thoroughly enjoying every video you post. Keep it goin I love it thanks.
thankyou sir!!! learning so much from your videos
Nice! Thanks
I wish you could tell more people of how much work it really is, to build a boat. I'm being told I'm lazy for only doing so much on my build per day.

Thanks! The noise is the stupid torpedo heater. I’ll address that. I appreciate the comment.

Also, if you have the resources and space and basic skills, this is the funnest project I’ve ever done. (That’s assuming it runs and floats).
@@rhenryinoregon The link does not show. How can I look it up.
