The ability to plane and go pretty fast with small engines is impressive and the amount of room they appear to have makes the Carolina Dories a good choice in my mind. Thanks Jeff
Just starting it’s April 3 just starting my key west 30 foot dory built.all I have now to do erect a shelter and I can actually start assembling it frames are all done plywood is all purchased can’t wait to get into this in June I’ll be off for three weeks and I’ll really get it getting my elbows into it I think you’re awesome plans they’re easy to read their simplicity is outstanding in my opinion looking forward to finishing this baby thanks Jeff I’ll keep you informed
Thanks Jeff, I will be buying your Key Largo plans in the next couple weeks (need to get my kitchen remodeling done 1st!), looking forward to the build
Could you also build an "axe bow" that is plum or straight to inch out a bit more length for displacement speeds? This would require torturing the ply some I think. Thanks for the video and the info!
Very nice discussion of dories, complimented by your beautiful and practical designs. One of these days, I'll build one. I'm curious about the possibility of a displacement speed version, with maybe some rocker, that I could use in combination with an electric outboard of maybe 10 hp.
Funny thing is with a rounder hull or a deep V hull in my opinion you need trim tabs to make them comfortable and stable. Flat bottom boats can be rough but only if your going to fast for the conditions. Otherwise they are very stable and great if you want a real work boat.
I came across your video. Great discussion. What size center console. That could hold 4 people and fishing gear would you recommend. Also what is the timeframe for part time build and cost
Greetings from Ireland. I have just found your channel and would welcome any advice regarding building my own boat. Sadly I am on a low low budget but do bring woodwork skills to the table. Thanks in advance, love the videos too.
I’m in Canada here and I am building the Key West 30 foot and I’m on an extreme budget also I found it’s easier to purchase things over a certain amount of months collect materials and so forth wood two by fours prefab all the frames and then pick some weather to start assembling I’ve been doing this now for seven months and I’m almost ready to start building in June the most expensive part of the project will be the epoxy and the motor good luck
Not to bother you but I have a RUclips channel it’s not professional but I am keeping track of my build it’s called Dan’s 30 foot Dory belt check it out if you have time like I said it’s not professional it’s all rough cut but I am recording everything on my build build
Question to anyone. I’m at Lake Superior during the summer and like these boats very much. Any idea how they would do in the big lake ? Thank you anyone.
I have built one of Jeff's boats and have plans of two more. If you go to the website it will answer many questions. It is not difficult at all just a lot of sanding. Good luck.
@@jonathanwatts.realtor You can, many use things like pool noodles cut to loosely fill the space. Some builders use pour foam, but it traps moisture next to the wood. Looser blocks (or pool noodles) allows the water to drain when the hull is pulled out and you remove drain plugs installed in the transom.

Well, the Carolina dories have a football shaped waterline (squared off at the transom) with a sharp, pointed bow to cut through the waves, so they displace better (move slowly like in rowing, sailing or trolling) and take less power. THey can also be sailed. The Pacific Power dories have a rectangular waterline so they plane easier and faster. The bows are quite blunt, but raised over the water, so they plane over the chop easier. They won't bump-steer or divert in a following sea, so they have greatly improved performance on a plane and moving through choppy water. They don't row or troll well as is, you'll need skegs to get them to perform well going slowly. See this video for more info: ruclips.net/video/rj-pOnziPpg/видео.html
Very nice jeff, i plan on building the 18 or 20 ft, i would like a cabin i could also camp on so im torn between the two ... do you have a photo with a cabin on an 18ft dory..
Sure, I don't think I can post it here, but here is a link to a video with it: ruclips.net/video/ryAjVeekA4k/видео.html I have a number of pictures if you email me.
any boat will pound if driven too hard for conditions, Michelak's little cabin boats are basic dories too.. like the AF4 etc (look to DuckWorks site for plans). 16-18 ft cabin runabout can slow plane with a 8-10 hp 4 stroke. there are limitations/compromises but 12-14 mph can easily bag 30+ mpg, typical 6 gallon tank will run ya around "forever". my 20 hp 4 stroke at most wants about 1.1 gph, the old Honda 10 hp wants about 0.6 to 0.7 gph at WOT, about half that running 2/3 speed.
I can understand that his family might not want to continue his work, but it's ridiculous that they're just letting his work go to waste. At the very least, they could sell the digital plans.
You're DEEPLY missed JEFF ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Sorrowful for Jeff's passing. Really wanted to build this boat. Carolian Dory
Min 14:30 it shows a boat that I would like to build. Do you have blueprints for this one?
Are all these boats the same?

Great. I hope you'll take lots of pictures and videos and let me publish them.
Love watching you talk boats jeff!!

Thanks for this video. A very nice overview of the Carolinian style boats.
My grandson and I built the Huntington harbor kayak last year. It was fun, pretty easy and floats nicely.

I really appreciate it, I'm from Florianópolis near the sea, and I want build a little boat for fishing on weekends

Is there any way to get plans for the 20"" Carolian Dory?
These are so cool! Would love to build one in the future to show off on the Pool 26 sandbars! Nice video with great information!
What is the size of the side hight
Now I'm dreaming about that 55' Tanuki as a long distance Atlantic crossing cruiser. Does it use a small inboard diesel?
Thanks

I would like to build a 20’ stitch and glue with center console for crabbing on the Oregon coast. How do I get more info? I would like to buy plans.
Can you please explain how the Carolina Dory is self bailing? Just trying to understand how with the framing “ribs”. Thank you
He added taller deck beams atop the main frames and a glassed over deck, with one-way drain scuppers in the transom.
When covering with deck and glass, do you fill the void with anything?

Well I’m about to tackle your flat back canoe as a trial run, for the real project on one of the larger Carolina Dories. I’m super excited about this.
Great job, love you videos!

I really like the 18’ Carolina dories and I like the pacific dories and I was wondering what are the main differences between the two? Thanks Jeff

These would be good in Port Phillip Bay in Oz
The longer ones look similar to a panga.
I didn't hear anything about sailing them.
Jeff would be very disappointed that the link to his site just lead to advertising for other sites having nothing to do with his boat plans.
I can understand that his family might not want to continue his work, but it's ridiculous that they're just letting his work go to waste. At the very least, they could sell the digital plans.
@@theroldfenty oh, I'm already part of that! But wouldn't that be copyright infringement to share plans?
I like your vids and would watch more if it wasnt for all of the commercials. Way too many.
I don't get to vote on the commercials. It's a RUclips thing. I just set them to be monetized.
Fools are born every day… No life jackets.
An incredible idea
Yee, I learnt lots how to build boats from
