Thread: Kitset Boats

I did a 4.6 centre console, every bend in the pontoons is a different degree
Which adds to bend cost, got sent the wrong keel plates , slow to sort things
Just little things that turn the job to a shit job
Plus you loose a shit tonne of interior space with a pontoon

But our big one was thru hall marine and it was fantastic would do another in a heart beat

You can also put foam in to aid boyancy


Only thing I will add which I'm just starting to learn
It sounds cheap but there is a lot of missed family time/fishing /hunting time while you are building it
And if you only save a couple of grand it mite not be worth it
Just my 2c anyway

Mate everyone but me is asleep, even the dogs are asleep on the floor(who let them in ), tv is on but I muted it as soon as the wife crashed so I am on here because, well I dont have a boat to build.

That wee dingy I recon I could knock out in a weekend for basic hull not including fit out of all the extras I would want, a pontoon on the other hand would be a lot of work.

Googleing Hall marine....

Had already looked at them, dont do anything small enough.

Why dont any kit providers provide the fucken price on their website? dont they want to sell them?
