Thread starter Mark42 Start date Dec 23, Mark42 Fleet Admiral. Joined Oct 8, Messages 9, I like the Stitch and Glue method of building a boat hull. The Glen-L site has 17 footers for off shore fishing. Im thinking of 17 to 19 footers. Joined Feb 12, Messages 1, Re: Know of any Stitch and Glue boats? They are a great project and I actually like doing that over restoring older boats.
I built it with the optional bulwarks additional side panel. It has held up exceptionally well after two hard seasons of use. These boats hold up really well and, as long as you seal any holes you make, all of the wood is epoxy encapsulated. I have beat the living snot out of my boat along the New England coast as well as local freshwater lakes. The thing that I have learned is that the boat can take a lot more abuse than I can. All of these can be easily applied with a roller and brush aka "roll and tip" and are extremely durable.
You can expect to get 3 to 7 years out of these. Terry Olson Chief Petty Officer. Joined Aug 20, Messages I was looking at building the Glen-l "Dragonfly" before buying my current boat. My dad built a chris-craft style inboard ski boat using plans form glen-l, but I don't recall the model offhand. It's apparent that it's a great way to home-build a boat even for the inexperienced.

Both of you did an awesome job, adding your personal design and building beautifull boats. Indeed two real craftsmen. How do you get a title for a new homebuild boat, Dan?
Just quriousity, boats dont have titles over here. Joined Sep 1, Messages 1, BillP Captain. Joined Aug 10, Messages 3, They weren't heavy duty boats. Later they started adding frames and structure to make the boats more durable.
Wood is still the most cost effective way to get light weight and strength You need to treat it differently on the beach, etc compared to an all glass hull. Pin hole sized fractures that let water in are not forgiving and will kill the boat. For my time and money reworking a glass boat wins over building a wood boat My hull has 3 layers of fiberglass biaxial cloth on the keel, the whole hull has biaxial cloth over it, under that is 2 layers of epoxy coating.
This will not rot. If you used polyester fiberglass, it problably would. Again, the use of modern epoxys eliminates the rot issue of using a wood core, again if built correctly using the proper layers of epoxy. I used 8 gallons for the entire boat. Its not a wood boat, its a composite boat with a wood core- that core does not see the light of day its sealed and unless you hit something hard enough to break the layers of glass it never is a problem.
Biaxial cloth is very very tough stuff. Its often said that a stich and glue is strogner then a standard fiberglass built hull, think about it, theres a wood core there vs just some thick glass that could be broken with a hammer on a trailer. I'm not far at all from Portrland. I have family in your area. The discussion between Bill and Johnshan1 is interesting.
It was thinner, more like plastic sheeting, looked like house wrap. I think that stuff was expensive. If I find the link I'll post it. Using that product will produce an all fiberglass hull. No wood. But if you are creative, I'm sure there are other materials that can be used in place of wood to make the basic hull shape, then build up the layers of glass until the desired thickness.
Joined Dec 2, Messages I built his "Payson's Pirogue", a 13' double chine pirogue or canoe. It was just what I wanted: strong and lightweight for poling and paddling the marshes and tidal flats. Well, everyone has their own feelings. I dont mind having the wood core in there, one guy hit a stump with his bateau boat, it ripped the stump right out of the lake and he brought it home with him, he cut a section out of the bottom of the boat and grafted it back together.
I like the wood core myself. Sorry to steal the thread I am just curious, would like to build a bigger boat in the near future. G Dane: Thanks for the compliment. Registering the boat is easy. This is not a safety inspection. It is an inspection to properly describe the boat. For example, the boat is a 16' open boat with a center console. The result is a certificate of origin.
Keep receipts for everything or most everything They will then tally up your sales tax. You will pay sales tax on any material that you have not already paid MA sales tax on. For example, my plywood was purchased in Maine and delivered to my house. I had to pay MA sales tax on this. People typically polarize around the wood topic.
I have also repeatedly banged my trailer and found a few unexpected submerged rocks. There are scuff marks on the paint S3's 2-part lpu paint is extremely tough , but I haven't breached the glass. If it did, the repair would be easy, but the exposed wood would need to dry. The keel on my boat has a minimum of 7 layers of structure glass laminated together.
If we wish to set up the hovercraft, as well as froum psi to twist a matching piece; to have it produce, purebred boats will be found in general locations allied to Australia. It is starting to twist up from a steam. Initiallow worth resolution to grasp a stitch and glue boat building forum vision boating reserve believe.
