How to build your Own Boat fast

You can build your own boat fast provided you take the initiative and spend maximum amount of time and effort to build it.  No one would be in a position to estimate how much time you would take to build a boat.  If you are in a hurry you should spend more time each day, but at the same time you should remember that ‘haste makes waste.’

Generally speaking a boat would take as early as forty to fifty hours of labor to be completed.  It depends on the builder how much time he spends on the boat each day or each week.  A simple boat can be completed with a minimum of $700 to a maximum of $1000 depending on the cost of material at the time of your building the boat.

You could try the Dolphin 12 which is a very simple and easy boat to build.  You will require less tools and material as well.  You can start with a boat that is less than twelve feet by six.  This would be sufficient for a few adults and a motor to be fitted and roared over the water.

To build a simple boat you will need some clamps, nails, a drill, a ruler, a jigsaw, an electric planer, paint and a few assorted grade belts.  Along with these you will need materials like plywood, oak wood for the stern and cypress pine wood for the seats and the cockpit.

With all this in readiness the next step is to start building your boat.  You surely will have the manual with you.  Make sure you follow the measurements in the manual accurately when cutting the plank.  If you make a mistake the boat will not be perfect and you could end up with a boat that is not ready for the water.

So if you want to get the best of your money, first estimate the time you are going to spend on building the boat, give priority to the building so that you could finish it at the earliest.  Make sure all the construction materials are perfect to the manual, especially when you are doing the curves of the boat, they should meet well and not leave any gaps that would let in water.

You can build a boat as fast as you can if you really make up your mind and take up the job.  You can even plan to download the 3D software from the internet which will save you fifty percent of the time you are planning to spend on building a boat with a hardware manual.
