Hello!
My name is Filipe. I'm from Brazil and i'm a new HF forum member.
I'm studding mecanic engeniring and i love boat. Now i have a project to make a "house" boat (in portuguese barco caseiro).
I don't now this is the right name in englis but i try to explane this.
I'm tryng to make a boat myself. Obvius the motor i gonna by, but the boat i gonna try to make in my house.
Have someone here a project?
A motor boat like yours can be make in wood? or must be in "plastic'' (i dont now the name of "resina" in english :confused )

Felipe,

Welcome to the HD Forums! :good

While many of us have assembled our motors, I can't think of anyone that has built a wooden hull here.  The majority of us have professionally built fiberglass hulls.  While most of our boats came with a working engine, many of us have rebuilt our engines at one time or another.

Your project sounds very interesting, though, and I hope you will share with us any progress you make. :D

Good luck with your project. :good

Felipe,
You can build aboat from wood, fiberglass, aluminum, steel or concrete...your choice. I have personally used wood to build a 9 foot & 14 foot boats (runabouts)
You might take a look at www.glenl.com. They sell plans and other stuff to the home builder market. Hope this helps.

My dad built a wooden boat when I was a kid.  He covered it with fiberglass cloth and "painted"  a resin material over it.
