I have had this issue with my ETech (30 hp) 2 times. Both times it was the water pump/impeller. If the motor gets hot, it will go to idle. Under warranty both times. Dealer is a good friend and said he has seen this several times. Probably due to not using often enough (1st time happened at...

Well, got plywood in yesterday, i ordered world panel's meranti hydrocore lite (supposedly just as strong as regular hydrocore but with about 10% less weight plus they only had enough for half of my order or 12 mm so they gave me okoume for the same price as the hydrocore lite to fill the rest...

So is the peel ply a 1 and done deal or is it reusable? This is another novice question: What is the best kind of wire for the stitching? I read about people using fencing wire, bailing wire, etc.

Mr. Todd, "A final suggestion for a biax user (the smaller boats don't use biax on the fillets)... buy a few yards of peel ply. If you don't know what it is, peel ply is a woven fabric that does an amazing job in helping you create quality and clean laminates for your fillets. You put it on top...

Thanks for all the replies. Definitely going to glass the interior. I think I will order RAKA's 6 gallon kit of epoxy with hardner to get started. I know this is going to sound weird, but I think I will probably enjoy the building process more than actually using the boat. I just like having...

I introduced my self on here several weeks ago, and stated that I would soon be starting a Devlin Cackler build. I've been collecting tools and finally got the courage up to order plywood(~$100 sheets of plywood make you think twice). I've got a couple or questions: 1.) How accurate is the...

Dave, I would appreciate any pics you have. I'm sure I will ask you many questions in the near future. Thanks for heads up Carl. I'm currently helping a friend out here in Little Rock build a drift boat; he is from Mobile and looked every where for marine plywood down that way; all he found...

Bob, after looking at the plans again, I think I understand what you are saying. That "step up" is caused by the cut out for the motor well; if I don't cut out the motor well, there should be no "step up". My next obstacle is going to be finding good quality marine plywood. I guess I could...

For the last several months, I have been helping a friend build a drift boat for fly fishing using the stitch and glue method and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The other night while I was on call, I decided that I needed a project of my own. I began searching the internet for different boat...
