Hey you made me want to build a mini and I just recently finished building my first one last week and unknowingly painted it like Ed Van Halen's guitar! Thanks man it was totally worth building.
You guys should try putting a water pump on these. That’s what I want to do. Harbor freight has a 2 inch water pump that would run all day long for cheap. Way easier mounting and no holes in the hull because the pipes could just route over the top of the transom area.
+TheFillyFill that would be awesome! Then it would be easy to direct the flow for steering as well! I'm a little concerned about the speed vs the power needed though. It takes a lot of energy to suck up water, swirl it and shoot it back into water in order to propeller boat forward. I'd love if you did it so we would all know because that would be sweet! Please keep me posted!
Hey. I'm considering building one of the mini speed boat versions to use for canal and river fishing. Are there any plans or dimensions to help me with a good starting point? I have to day, I love these videos and mini power boats. Please keep posting up videos to spread the popularity.
In rough water those boats will sink! 😨 I almost sank a unsinkable aluminum boat but it had foam in the seats. But those boats are made of wood tho that floats, but in a quick rainstorm on a big lake I had my boat underwater.
most good sized marine batteries will last a good 3 hrs on full blast.. i sugest getting a 30lb thrust minn kota just because you can usually get them for $100 and the higher pound thrust motor dont go any faster. maybe a tiny bit faster but not worth it for most people
Hey Brian I can't think of a video that I can make of my boat in the winter, I could do repair/overview vid,? Advice?Love watching your videos as always! Keep posting!
+Anders Larson hey Anders! Yeah were not going to have any water soon!! Im also thinking of ideas for winter vids! As i read this i can think of a couple ideas.. of course a repair would be good but add an eplanation of the process that someone could use on a new build..(fiberglassing etc.) Another thing would be set up a tripod in your garage with boat in veiw and go over what you would change, keep the same etc. Go even go into how to build this kind of thing as a youngin! (I built a row boat with my dad when i was ten and it took two years because i couldnt drive or use specialty tools. It was super hard not being able to drive! Haha) if youve learned anything about boating or building or handling that would be good! Types of wood you used screws tools idk im just spitting out ideas for both of us! Good luck and for sure get a tripod or books or something stable (tons of people told me this lol)
This is by far the best micro boat I've seen on RUclips. I found your plans on gumroad for 2$; is there an updated version with more specific details? I would love to buy this
@@americanboathead5390 How you installed the motor, the dimensions of the beams in the middle etc. I'm not an expert, that's why I would love to have every specific detail so I don't f*ck up haha. Thanks for your response!
Ah i see! Well the motor goes through the floor through a sink drain then a section of bike innertube is hose clamped around them so water cant get in but the motor shaft can still rotate. I have a guide on how to build a boat it uses this one as an example. Its for sale at : gumroad half craft its kinda hard to explain but basically cut and recut till the dimensions are correct! Seriously thats how i do it!
@@americanboathead5390 Oh okay, thanks! I would give the advice to maybe make some plans so people can print these out and make their own mini boat. I think many people would be interested to buy these (:
@@Crostplay thanks! Its much harder than you might expect! Its hard to know what people do and dont know. Ie: some people just need drawing and some need instruction on how to use a saw and a drill etc. Most are somewhere in between!
Oh boy, that was almost as much fun as being there mate! Were those oil drums floating in the water? Great vid mate, really enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
+Mark McCluney they are actually big logs either left over from early logging transport, or placed there to protect the shore im not sure. Either way they could really pop a boat! Lol thanks for joining for another ride friend!!
+Bobob Jojack i got it at home depot. Called super glaze or something like that. 2 boxes and two little packs of fiberglass for the bottom and bottom corners.
+Brooklyn Avenue isnt it the most relaxing thing ever??? My brother kept leaning back with his hands behind his head looking like he coulda napped! Lol Its a unique extreme sport were into! Hahaha
This particular spot is right where Coeur d alene lake turns into the Spokane River in North Idaho. The bridge that you can see briefly in the video is hwy. 95 This little inlet (lazy river) is actually called Blackwell island boat launch and recreation area!
No way! I used to go fishing on that lake alot as a kid and go mudding up in the hills behind it as a teen! I outta take a mini out there! It'd be neat going from the lower lake to the upper!!
+Zenmaster6 i will! It hasnt gone yet... but it will!! My winch motor on my "rov" isnt strong enough but i may run it anyways! Thanks for watching and stay tuned!!
American Boathead and American Butthead, LOL This was a great video. did you have old US Marine band music at the end? I have been going to add them to one of my upcoming videos.
+Robb's Homemade Life yeah! Its down a ways on the youtube 'copyright free music' I think its perfect for boat videos! Its adventurous lol makes me want to film in black and white!
Hey, I’m a producer at @DailyBlastLive. Can Daily Blast Live & partners use this video w/ credit? Requesting permission for broadcast and all digital platforms. Thanks
+Jeremy Cleland gumroad.com/products/bqjFg this is all i have out so far :( Im working on more! Im wondering what people would want the most.... video tutorial,blueprints, instructions, life size pattern etc. But im working on more!! Thanks!
+Peter Peter hahaha the audio in this video angers me! Ill try and tweak it cause a few people mentioned what you said! Thanks for watching and cheers!!
Yeah lol looks like a big banana but it is incredibly robust. Im goin cruisin and campin in it next spring. Also im uploading a vid showing you my tugboat out the water hope its usefull. Just realised my thick scottish accent is hard to understand. I need to work on that.
yeah it looks sweet! i cant wait to see tug!! I like the accent! i have no problem understanding you! its cool its kinda like i can instantly understand a different language! i love language so i would miss the accent! i would however like to hear how Scotts do an American accent! I hear americans do australian accent trying to do scottish all the time lol
Hey you made me want to build a mini and I just recently finished building my first one last week and unknowingly painted it like Ed Van Halen's guitar! Thanks man it was totally worth building.

Are there any plans for this boat? Where can I download them?
Do you still have the plans for this boat?

Will do friend!!! Thank you!
American Boathead I'll be up there in two months time for a family reunions hopefully I'll see you on the lake in fernan 😁😎😁
How long does the battery last from start to dead?
These videos are amazing. Do you post the plans anywhere? I'd love one to chill in
Hey thanks!! Not really I just have some dimensions and a guide book. If you search 'half craft gumroad' you should be able to find them!
@@americanboathead5390 I found the dimensions now if plywood would come down in price I'd be all over it! Maybe next year. So cool man
Hahaha sad but true my friend...

Thanks man..how long will a battery last..and what motor would you suggest
most good sized marine batteries will last a good 3 hrs on full blast.. i sugest getting a 30lb thrust minn kota just because you can usually get them for $100 and the higher pound thrust motor dont go any faster. maybe a tiny bit faster but not worth it for most people

Thanks for the info, and good job on those boats
+Bobob Jojack yeah my pleasure!
Ok, this was awesome. I'm loving my version of the boat too.
+Brooklyn Avenue isnt it the most relaxing thing ever??? My brother kept leaning back with his hands behind his head looking like he coulda napped! Lol Its a unique extreme sport were into! Hahaha
American Boathead Yes, I head out early weekend mornings and I am back before my wife even wakes up.... I feel just as refreshed.
Dude cool little boats
Thanks! Super fun too!
Can u fish with it, close ocean
Could fish out of it but it's hard while sitting low. I tried once and my elbows hit the sides alot
What lake are you on?
This particular spot is right where Coeur d alene lake turns into the Spokane River in North Idaho. The bridge that you can see briefly in the video is hwy. 95
This little inlet (lazy river) is actually called Blackwell island boat launch and recreation area!
@@americanboathead5390 My teenage stomping grounds. Upper Twin Lakes,etc.
No way! I used to go fishing on that lake alot as a kid and go mudding up in the hills behind it as a teen! I outta take a mini out there! It'd be neat going from the lower lake to the upper!!
@@americanboathead5390 The Channel would be mini boat heaven.
