17' boat building project
Been at this project for a few months now in my spare time.
Almost ready to flip it to start the inside work.

Nice! I was thinking this winter of doing one of those Brockway style skiffs. What plans did you use, I like the V rather than the flat bottom..but my boatbuilding skills may not be up to something more complex like yours.

My plans are from Bateau.com. They have plans and kits for a wide variety of boats and skill levels. |

Thats the thing. I know almost nothing about all the mechanical aspects of a fully equiped center console fishing boat.
Wiring, pumps, fuel lines, steering etc. But I am eager to learn and looking foward to it.
Another picture here of my oldest son and myself just before the flip.

After looking at the plans available on Bateau.com I think you are building their Fast Skiff 17 model... Are you building a center console or tiller steering version?

Actually, it is the C17 or Classic 17 hull, but eliminating the cuddy and going with a center console. Very similar to the layout of the
Bateau C19. |

Thanks. My son thinks it is fantastic. I built the barn a decade ago not knowing I was going to build something like this, but it's perfect. |

Progress... Center console with seat under construction.
Seat is removable for access to fuel tank (19 GAL.) and controls.
Fuel tank area will be completely sealed off from the console wiring.
Seat sides will have small vents to allow fumes to escape.
