The problem with white oak, however, is distinguishing it from red oak that is not nearly as suitable for boat building since it is weaker and rots easily unless pressure treated with preservatives. The following characteristics should help in separating white oak from red oak.

four m (four ft x 8 feet)? A carcass is accomplished with an construuction gelcoat over Eighteen unit woven fiberglass. We listened right, I'm in adore with this heart.

Here the panels are cut to the correct shape and wired together with soft copper wire through small holes cut in adjoining planking edges. Sometimes a frame or two are used to facilitate in the bending and joining of the panels. Once wired together the joints are glued by applying large epoxy fillets to the inside edges. The wire is removed and the outside edges are taped with glass cloth and epoxy.

Several bulkheads are added and stringers may be glued to the interior panels to increase stiffness. This construction method, also called sewn seam construction, lends itself very well to small boat construction where the internal structure of frames and stringers are not necessary.

Lately several large production boats 56 feet have been built on the West Coast using this method. The commercial builder of one of these made his own plywood on a 10 by 60 foot vacuum table. Interestingly, many huge fiberglass boats are partially constructed using this method bows and sterns are still made in a standard fiberglass mold. Some designing skill is required to take a three dimensional concept and reduce it to a two dimensional drawing that can be laid out on plywood so that edges meet when the panels are cut and sewn together.

The first time builder should purchase plans rather than suffer the frustration involved in ruining several sheets of plywood "trying to get it right. Often, there are also ads for kits where the panels are already cut. Epoxy coating and perhaps even fiberglassing the panels prior to assembly will save lots of time in this construction method.

Learning to make the "no sand" interior fillets described is a must. Removing the copper wire can be tricky. Some builders fillet right over it and then cut it off flush on the outside. Here it becomes part of the boat. We heard of one builder who hooked the wire up to a car battery for a second or two and then pulled the red-hot wire out with a pair of pliers.

We like the idea of making small fillets using Quick Cure 5 and wood flour, or alternately using SilverTip EZ-Fillet wood flour putty every six inches along the inside seam. After a few minutes the wires can easily be removed and the regular fillet applied.

Talk to your plans designer and see what he recommends. Many people believe that traditional lapstrake construction makes the most beautiful boat of all. They long for a more modern method that produces a light, strong boat without the maintenance problems of the traditional lapstrake boat. Basically, plywood is cut to the proper shape and one edge of each plank is beveled.

These planks are attached to temporary mold frames and permanently attached to the stem and transom. The boat is usually built upside down with the very bottom planks applied first. Successive planks are laid on these with about a half inch overlap.

The laps are epoxy glued. Planking continues in this fashion to the gunnels. The result is a lightweight, stiff boat. The stiffness comes from the doubling at the laps combined with the bent planks. So far, only small boats have been built using this method. A chief aesthetic advantage of this style is that it allows for more roundness in the finished hull than other plywood methods. A possible disadvantage is that it is more tedious than sewn seam construction.

We can't conceive of building a boat in this method without epoxy coating and fiberglassing the plywood panels prior to cutting the planks.

The boat would be impossible to fiberglass once assembled. Doing it first means that except for the cut plywood edges the boat is essentially "epoxied" before it is even assembled. We'd seal these after assembly and use fillets to round them into the adjacent planks. There are several books available on glued lap construction. Check in the various boating magazines to find them. Buy a good design. As much as in stitch and glue construction, cutting and beveling the planks is critical to achieving good results.

Strip planking has been used to construct boats with lengths from eight feet prams to huge power and sailboats. The most common strip planked boats built today are canoes in the fifteen to eighteen foot range. Strip planking readily allows the builder to make compound curved hulls even in shorter lengths. Strip planking is simply the edge gluing of long strips over temporary mold frames. Most often these are male mold frames although some advantage is possible using female mold frames.

The strips are cut somewhat longer than the boat so that they are long enough to be bent around the curve of the mold.

Larger boats use scarfed strips to achieve the proper length. Western red cedar is often used to build canoes and smaller boats. It is lightweight and attractive lending itself well to bright finished hulls.

Redwood, Alaskan yellow cedar, Sitka spruce, and fir are also used. Several companies are now marketing veneer faced end grain balsa strips. This material shows promise for boats over twenty feet. If you stuck with the original thickness, you should be okay. Now that it's in place break out the wood clamps again and clamp it into place, use as many as possible since your drill force is going to be pushing against it.

Choose a drill bit that matches the diameter of you carriage bolts and start drilling holes through the transom in the places where the old rivets were. As you finish each hole make sure it's big enough for the bolt to pass through, remove the bolt and fill the hole with the 3M sealant. Quick tip: wear latex gloves. This stuff is a bear to clean up. First put a washer on the bolt and push it through the freshly drilled and sealed hole. On the other end put another washer, lock washer and then bolt.

Before pushing the bolts all the way through, apply a copious amount of to the areas when the washer will meet with the boat. Repeat this step with all holes left from drilling out the old rivets. Tighten the bots down as tight as possible using a normal ratchet or wrench. Give the sealant hours to cure. Note: The great thing about the 3M sealant is that it cures up fairly hard, but still has enough elasticity to flex when the boat itself flexes during normal operation.

If there was an aluminum cap along the top edge of the transom and it couldn't be salvaged like in my case replace it with 2 pieces of extruded aluminum "L" pieces. It works just fine and give the transom cap a nice finished look.

Bolt on your motor and hit the water. Next time: Building a fishing deck and installing pedestal seats in your boat. Great article. Replacing the transom in a jon boat. Instead of tracing both pieces of plywood and cutting, I bought a 2x4 sheet of plywood, cut in half lengthwise and glued together, then once dried, made the finish cut.

Saved time, and no need to try sanding the glue squeezed out. Tip 2 years ago on Step 1. I add remove the motor before drilling out rivets. It should go without saying though some may just start drilling. Question 2 years ago. Reply 4 years ago. No, the bolts should be enough to keep the transom secured to the boat. The glue is to mainly waterproof the hole you drill for the bolts. I read on the internet that AC Plywood is a great choice if marine ply is not available.

ACX grade is not the same as AC grade. Make sure it is exterior grade. Like all PVA glues, Gorilla glue foams as it cures; often pushing the pieces apart. By all means clamp the pieces together so that it doesn't slide out of alignment. Great and helpful article. What size carriage bolts did you use? I plan on putting a painted piece of red oak in as the transom but as I understand wood or paint against aluminum shouldn't be done.

So I plan to clean rear inside and then use an etching aluminum primer like Rustoleum's and then spray on two top coats. Now to find that fishing deck article mentioned.. I have an 8 foot inflatable West Marine dinghey that has a completely rotted transom and am trying to work on it in my shop. The old transom has been removed along with the plate for the outboard motor. I removed the transom and plate, and scraped the rotten wood pieces out of the grooves on each end of the area where the dinghey "locks" into place on each side, so it is clean of old wood and debris.

My question is: My old transom Wood Used For Boat Construction Oil is so rotted, if there anywhere I can purchase a new transsom for this OR any kind of "cutout" pattern that I can get so I can make the proper cuts into the new piece of marine grade wood that is to be the replacement. I am pulling my hair out tryiing to fix this with the proper fitting on each end Any help is appreciated.

Reply 9 years ago on Introduction. Here is a good video of you boat and transom. You might be able to get a good idea from this video and a few measurements in your boat. This is awesome just what I needed. I have a 16 aluminum starcraft with a 75 hp motor, the transom has rotted and it's time for a replacement.
