Just started my little baby midget boat. 1242 with 18" sides all .090. Going to put 3 1x2 braces in the bottom with maybe 2 2x2 or 1x2 braces going across. Got a 4'6" rake and going to have about a 18-24" deck. No seats or boxes in it. Might build a base to pull in and out when I need for me but going to have a lt on it for now and no need to sit!!! Hoping to have it in the water next weekend if I can get the bottom braces rolled Monday.

Well I couldn't wait on the braces so I went ahead and started on it. Got sides tacked on and pipe in the front.

Deck and grab rails put on. Used a piece of gunnel for the brace at the end of the deck and turned out pretty nice looking!

looking good!!! that lil boat will be able to get in some skinny ass shit!!

nice boat!

Braces and transom tacked on. And I can still pick the front and the back up with one hand without a strain.

That boat would be bad ass with a 12hp copperhead on it!

that boat your building reminded me of this one that was built by cottonmouth 10x36. sick little boat, they put a 6hp copperhead and was getting top speeds from 23-25mph

That tiny copperhead had enough prop to push that boat 28 mph? That's hard to believe.

That's pretty badass then. I just didn't think it would swing enough prop to see that MPH. Sweet.

yea i didnt mean to give the wrong top speeds. but 25mph on a 1036 is badass

25 on a 1036 would feel like 45 I put my 20hp on my 1236 and i was skeered

one bump and your out lol

or a sharp turn

haha

My pops has a 12' baja scat cat with a 40 merc with a little work and a chopper prop...that thing's made to go fast, and a little over 50 in it is hairy so I could imagine a baby skiff.


But then again, that little 12' boat went 94 mph with a 225 Pro Max in the early 90's...

A 225 on a 12' boat? I'd love to see how a 12' boat floats a 225 outboard!

13', my mistake. This is a fiberglass catamaran we're talkin bout, and a 2.4L 225...not a 3L like the big ones today. They weren't as heavy. Ill see if I can find a pic of it. I think everything was up under the bow, maybe some extra weight too. It looked dumb.
