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.

That is exactly how I would describe it! Beam is 7 feet and hull has alot of depth as well.
I have a kayak that is 17' long and weights 45 lbs. 
BlondT. She does have sweet lines doesn't she!
Catch myself running my hands along her just for nothing. 
I will gladly put up more pictures as things progress.

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. |

And some recent pics of whats going on inside the hull.
Chase tubes under sole for fuel, steering and controls, electrical, and bow light.

Thanks, I was planning on finishing in time to launch this summer, it is possible but I don't want to rush the job just to finish it in time.
I'm aiming for a high level of fitting out, finish work and paint.
Something less than perfection but more than a homemade workboat.
I have waited a long time to own a boat like this, so one more seaon without it won't be a dissapointment. |

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. |
