- 8ft Plywood Boat That Fits Inside My Car - Basic Water Testing & Final Assembly - Part Four
I need a small take apart nesting boat which will fit inside my car, but which is light enough for me to take down to the river and fit together easily.
This boat needs to be able to carry myself, plus all of my fishing equipment, but it still needs to be relatively small and stable. I am trying to reduce any possibility for capsizing to the absolute minimum by building detachable Outriggers, (or Pontoons or Stabilisers) which can be raised or lowered as necessary.
Today I am doing basic water testing to make sure there are no leaks and then I will strip all the fittings off, paint it and finally reassemble the boat ready for use.
I have absolutely no knowledge of boat building and I am not a professional woodworker, so please make any criticisms constructive ones. I can always learn from my mistakes and possibly build a Mark 2 version.

that smile at 7 37 is from a man whos made something and is enjoying his labours well done den i made a large canoe once i never got to testing it it ended up as a flower planter for a few years
Thanks mate. I never thought of a canoe as a flower planter before.😁😁👍👍
@@FishingwithDen yes it was ok seemed water sound but in the end I over built it and was to heavy but your build looks great and practical
Were gonna need a bigger boat. That thing is so cool man. You could just paint the floor white or replace it with white rubber. Your boat is so seaworthy. Hope youll give an update about longevity of your boat and lessons youve learned for the next iteration.
Excellent job, Sir Capitan Den!!! Respect!!!
Looks great Den and it works just wants the name on now The Lady Katherine.
I love the unconventional layout of this craft. Trying to make something that fits neatly into a car and work well on the water isn't easy but you've cracked it.
Thanks for your comments. They are much appreciated.😃
Get an inflatable kayak instead... :)
Never have to sand/varnish. Packs away small in your shed. Can stand up in it. Can fit a small electric motor. Lighter.
Nice work all the same.
I've had kayaks and I still own an inflatable. I even have a trolling motor, but all of these things have downsides when you get older. Next weeks video will show how comfortable the new boat is, plus how much storage room it has, but the most important thing is that I don't have to lift anything heavy like 80 Amp batteries for trolling motors or large outboard motors. My 5.8 HP outboard weighs 44lbs. Thanks for your comments though.
Great work and thanks for your great camerawoman.
You inspire me do one similar to that boat.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
That’s awesome Den, thanks for sharing.
Can’t wait to see your videos on the water in it.
Thanks Adsy. I might take it out and try lure fishing for native fish first. Not sure exactly when though.
Well done, Den! Thank you for sharing! Cheers!
I believe if it has holes it will be either litter or an item that nneeds to be taken to the dump. In no circumstances will it be a submarine. :) excited to see your boat
Haha, you did it!! Amazing stuff and good to see all those 3d printed parts. And on the side, he makes his own paddle to 😁
LOL. I wondered what you thought of my paddle Jeroen.😃😃😃👍
@@FishingwithDen I really like it. So fun to see the creativity you have and make wonderful things 👍🏼
@@timmerenator Thanks mate. Aeroplane next?🤣🤣🤣👍
Brilliant Den, congratulations on your boat building project, thank you for taking the time to share this project with us. Looking forward to joining you out on the water fishing.
I have only one comment to make, maybe an electric power unit, but maybe the cost is a factor. Stay safe and enjoy your boat.
Thanks Pete. I do actually have an electric trolling motor, but the 80 Amp battery is much too heavy for me to keep picking up at my age. Unfortunately, it also doesn't last all that long if you want to get from place to place. I know the little Chinese motor is very noisy, but it's also quite light and I can take an extra litre of petrol to get me as far as I need to go. I may take the trolling motor out sometimes, but I would probably still need the petrol motor if I want to go far.😃😃👍
Great Vid! Nice to see all the 3d printed stuff on there as well bet that saved some money. Just needs some rod rests spotted around? Look forward to "Fishing with Den on the Boat"
Thanks Phillip. I don't know what I would do without my 3D Printer these days.
@@FishingwithDen I have a Creality Ender-3 V2, 2020 in my wishlist but When I get close something comes up and hits my savings pot :( I have your STL for the punches all ready and waiting. Trying to get my head around design side and playing with FreeCad ( old brain goes into freeze mode but getting there )
@@Offcut55 I tried a lot of CAD programs mate. In the end I always went back to Tinkercad. My aged brain can cope with that.😃👍
a great project den,,well done its turned out good,,enjoyed watching your build,,thanks for sharing with us
Thanks Brian. I'll do one with me fishing from it at some point.
@@FishingwithDen i look forward to seeing that den,,keep going with the great vids
Nice! 👍👍
That's fantastic Den! Thank you for sharing your thought processes; a very interesting project and a great set of videos to watch. Have fun.
Thanks Ray
Fantastic job Den! Congratulations on your project, I enjoyed watching it!👍🏻🎣💪🏻
Thanks Dave. It was quite an enjoyable project to build.
Wow. This is amazing!! Good job!!
well done Den all you need now is an electric motor
I already have one Barry, but the battery for it is much too heavy, so I don't use it.
Whenever I do something like this DEN I always think how much easier it would be if I was 10 years old again😀, I was waiting for the Norman Wisdom moment. Very impressed with your boat!👍
Yep. I was definitely channeling my inner teenager there mate.
Great boat and well done you for a great construction, I thought you might have used one of them small quiet electric motors, you can get them very cheap these days.
Thanks Leslie. I do actually have an electric trolling motor, but the 80 Amp battery is much too heavy for me to keep picking up at my age. Unfortunately, it also doesn't last all that long if you want to get from place to place. I know the little Chinese motor is very noisy, but it's also quite light and I can take an extra litre of petrol to get me as far as I need to go.

Excellente my friend,
Love it.
Brilliant piece of engineering, well done.
Thanks Peter. After a quick scribble on a piece of paper, the rest was mostly done as I went along mate. There are things I might have done differently next time, but I'm happy with what I ended up with so far.😃👍
That is amazing ! Den you must be well chuffed..and the adjustable paddle you thought of everything 👍
You're certainly getting through my videos today Geoff. Thanks mate.😃😃😃👍
@@FishingwithDen well you are prolific in putting them out Den and there interesting to watch 👍
@@geoff738 It was my Lockdown Project Geoff. I had to do something or I would have gone nuts.😃😃👍
It looks like a fun boot. The way you didn't the connection to the pantoons you could make it a trimaran with outriggers that hold the platoons further away. For getting to places to fish not needed. But maybe if you want to use is as a fishing platform.
Thanks Ruben. I did consider having the pontoons further away, but during testing it seems to be stable enough for me to stand up and fish as it is. I'll know more when I take it fishing for the first time.😃👍
@@FishingwithDen can't wait for the video.
For float fishing or lure fishing it's stable enough. But not for feeder fishing
I can't remember how I found your channel, but it's one of my favourite fishing channels.
And I liked the 3d printed parts.
@@punkvisser I think a lot of viewers just stumble upon my channel, just like you did Ruben.
Well done and congratulations, Den. Considering it’s not and never was your day job, you must be delighted. I trust you’ll have a proper Oz-style Christening ceremony before you take it out for its true maiden voyage.
Thanks Paul. After all that work, I'm certainly looking forward to it.
Looks gud den hope you got the champagne on ice for the naming ceremony/ maiden voyage 👍👍👍
( haven’t forgot about the box build pics just not quite finished and also about to move house 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️)
I find that some of my projects get held up for weeks sometimes Darren, but you will get there in the end mate.
Nice one Den that motor is very noisy maybe a leisure battery and electric motor would be a good upgrade to consider Also you could run your Gopro from the same battery I really thought you were going to go for a swim at one point good to see you had a support network on the bank though in case of falling in and the lifejacket was a sensible inclusion Look forward to it being used for a trip soon in your summer Hope you have left enough room in the car for your fishing gear though 😃
It is noisy Barbara, but I already have an electric motor and the leisure battery for it is much too heavy. It also doesn't get you very far even at 80Amps. As for the support network, my wife can't swim!!!🤣🤣🤣👍
@@FishingwithDen 😃 OOps
Love your work Den - can you give us a bit of an idea on project costing 😀
I'll have to work it out mate. I bought items as I went along, so I didn't really keep the best track of costs.
@@FishingwithDen just interested on rough overall cost - don't go to too much effort Den 😀
Nice one Den, It's been a good project to follow on video, I noticed you have not named it or cracked or splashed it with some grog. that's an important tradition?👍👍
Good Point John.👍
Congratulations 🎊 👏 on you first boat 🚢 , have you named her yet lol 😆 I hope you catch a lot of fish 🐟. Keep up the great videos and all the best 👍 from colin bradford in Milton Keynes in the uk 🇬🇧 😀
Thanks Colin. It would appear that it is going to be called "The Lady Katherine' after my wife.👍
A stunning job Den! If you would put all your build projects in book I would buy a dozen :). A second book about your fishing tips and tricks would not be bad either.
Thanks Ovidiou.😃👍
Interesting. But an even narrower main hull, with two narrow outriggers, on alluminium poles, might be better ...
Hi Gordon. I'm sure you're right for general use, but this boat was made to carry all my fishing tackle. I suppose it's more of a cargo carrier than a fast craft.
fun
It is an interesting project Den ! You may need to consider more on water-proofing for wood and long time degradation. As well as strength of join/bolts.
I don't think it will be used all that often Ovidiou, but you may be right about more waterproofing. I suppose only time will tell.
For the 2 pontoons i guess PVC pipe is another options , let's say 6 or 8 inches diameter .. what do you think Sir ..
Another great video Den. Are you going to bring that boat to Canberra or Albury?🤣🤣
With the amount of kit I take to those matches mate, I'd need to hire a truck.🤣🤣🤣👍
Nice job Den… but no.. you can’t use it in the Canberra Classic. 🤣
Thanks Mark. Let's just hope the Classic goes ahead this year mate.👍
Great looking job on your boat I have a couple of questions if you don't mind how do you keep water from coming in around the bolts holding the from to the rear also did you have plans or did you wing it Great job thanks for sharing
Thanks for your comments. There is a rubber sheet between the front and rear sections of the boat to provide a waterproof seal, but I also made rubber washers which fit onto the securing bolts to make absolutely sure there were no leaks. You can see all of this in my Setup Video here: ruclips.net/video/Lcder-cJbiA/видео.html
Have you considered making the outriggers from foam to save weight?
It's a good idea, but I didn't think of it at the time.😃👍
Super Idee. Klasse umgesetzt. Und wann baust du ein Flugzeug??
Vielen Dank Ralf. Flugzeug in nächste Lockdown.🤣🤣🤣👍
Watch out for those crocs and sharks den 🥴
Luckily, we don't have Crocs this far down mate, which is a bit of a relief!🤣
How do you know if you have "sponsons," "outriggers," or pontoons?
If you need a longer paddle, you have sponsons
If you need a paddle, but not a longer one, you have outriggers ...
If you don't need a paddle or any other form of propulsion or steerage, you have a pontoon!
How is Aluminum pronounced “ah-lou-min-e-um”
Where did the extra e come from 😂🤷🏽♂️
The correct English Dictionary spelling of the word is Aluminium. Al-u-min- i- um. This spelling is used throughout the World except America and Canada. Can I assume you are one of my colonial viewers? 🤣👍👍
@@FishingwithDen hahah well I learned something new today 😂 and yes, I’m American lol
Side question - having built a boat using PMF, do you think it would hold up if I took it in saltwater marshes? I’m building a boat right now in my garage 😂
@@Mscott1529 No worries Mo.😁 To be honest, I don't know the answer to that question. I really only use mine in freshwater. 👍
