Inboard center console boat plans9/16/2023 ![]() ![]() My father-in-law and I have experience welding, fabricating such things as steel trailers, up to 32' long to haul my sailboat, woodsplitters, log haulers, etc, so we are up for the challenge of making systems like engine, steering, cooling, etc work on a boat. If anyone has further thoughts on something that may fit this description, all help would be appreciated. Response Marine offers a wide range of welded aluminum boat designs and plans, cutting kits, and design services including. My thoughts are much more along the lines of the Seabright Tunnel 21, or this type of boat, where a reasonably small (sub 30hp perhaps, and likely used) diesel would be able to propel an alumimum hulll at acceptable (for us) speeds. The classic Boston Whaler Montauk remains one of the most popular center console boats out there, thanks to practical design, rugged utility and easy. ![]() And although I would love the thoughts of an off-shore capable boat, with 140+ hp diesel, this is way, way more money than I want to spend, on the engine, for one. However, as the designer's website mentions need to keep the weight low, the difference in chosing alumimum vs wood may be a deal breaker in terms of performance? ![]() I really like the look and idea of the Seabright Tunnel 21. I don't have an ideal size as we could have fun on a small runabout, or on a larger, more capable boat that could take us fishing further off-shore, but of course, costs go up for a larger boat and engine. (looking at the Mumby 48, if you wonder which one!)Īnyway, this small power boat would be a feet wetting in aluminum boat building and the boat would be used by myself, and my father-in-law, for inshore / somewhat offshore fishing on Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, depending on it's size and stability. I would really like to find a design that I can build in aluminum, as I already weld, and have hopes of building a much larger sail catamaran, in 5 + years time, from Alumium. Of course, it makes me realize that I don't even know what I don't know, with respect to boat design.Ī couple of thoughts, and clarifications. ![]()
