how do i build a boat?
> Posted by admin in build boat
My and my buddies want to build a cheap boat. We don’t care if it sinks but we would like it to last a little while. Our plans are to make it about 5×8 and we have barrels like a pontoon boat. Any suggestions on how to build it and and what to use to make it water proof.
strap the barrells together tight as you can, bolt brakets of some kind on top (seal the bolt holes with 3m 5200), bolt on a plywood platform.
save money and weight by using 1/2" B/C exterior grade plywood. Might need 3/8" for stiffness. Saturating it in polyester resin, then finish the top side by adding a layer of fiberglass cloth.

It’s for a physics class.
it requires you to be able to seal the cardboard, so it doesn’t absorb too much water, after that its a fairly simple plan, using a design like a canoe, kayak or dinghy, create a displacement area big enough to support the weight of a person, it should be around the same size as a normal boat, as the displacement pricipal won’t change too much with the material. The hardest part will be stopping it from absorbing too much water, but as long as you can keep structrural integrity, it should get you there, I’ll leave the water proofing up to you, it is your project after all.

how do I unhook the hour meter on my boat?
> Posted by admin in boat plan
Everything is hard wired but I plan on keeping the boat for the life of it so I don’t care if I have an hour meter. The reason I want to unhook it is because it clicks every 3 seconds and it drives me nuts.
Easy two-step process:
1. find the wire attached to the meter.
2. snip-snip.
I look for some investors for boat building in Iran.?
> Posted by admin in boat building
I am an expert engineer in naval architecture from Iran with 11 years of experiance in GRP boat building and look for persons who are interested in investing and technical supporting in this industry in Iran. The low labour cost in my country would surely be a benefit. I can manage the team required for handling a boat building company so that the both sides acheive the goal. Could anybody introduce me where I can find the involved people in this matter for negotiating?
Iran?!
Why would any intelligent business man want to invest in Iran. Especially boats!? You have the US carrier fleet right off your coast. No one can say there won’t be a war within the next 5 years. Investing in Iran is just plain STUPID, unless your India, China, or Russia.
