Just finished putting the 3rd coat of Earthy Cane paint on the bottom of the boat. I will let it cure out and flip her. Then finish the top and inside.
This blog is dedicated to my attempt at building the perfect outdoor boat.
After researching jon boats, V hulls, skiffs, and duck boats I decided to build my own because I couldn't find one that suited all my needs. I wanted the shallow draft of a flat bottom, the stability of a pontoon, be able to withstand 1'-2' chop, unsinkable, carry 2 people and all my gear, be small, and not "break" the bank.
Therefore, I have designed a boat and will attempt to build it. Measurements are general and will change as the building goes. The design will change as well depending on forthcoming issues.
I live in Tennessee and spend every free moment in the outdoors. I love my family, enjoy a roaring campfire, fish when possible, hunt ducks in the winter, hike every trail I can, kayak when feasible, and love my dog. I write for outdoor publications and websites. I believe we are symbiotic with nature, not its master.
