How To Build A Small Flat Bottom Boat

how to build a small flat bottom boat

How do you build a flat bottom boat? most homemade flat bottom boats are jon boats made from low-priced plywood that’s very easy to work with. begin by building the boat bottom, then add the transom, sides, bow and prow. then add trims, seating, a storage unit and fittings before applying the finish. here we cover these steps in detail.. I put an 8 hp outboard engine on it which was fine but the boat can also take a bigger one, maybe 15 hp or so. you need about 4-5 sheets of plywood to build it. about 10mm for the bottom and 6.5. Budgeting the building of any boat is important, however home made flat bottom boats tend to be extremely affordable. plans will range from $45 to $75, and with wood (many flat bottom boat builders use laminated plywood) costs factored in, a 15 ft. to 17 ft. boat may only cost $250 to $300. of course, that does not include the time spent building..
