Rib Boats

 

  

A

carrying capacity and interior space that are way above average: these are 2 of the many advantages offered by the MAX range. 

Its large diameter buoyancy tube provides comfort and ensures you better protection against water spray. 

Stable and safe, the MAX is particularly suited to 4-stroke engines. 

The MAX offers outstanding value for money, making it the ideal choice for owners of sailing boats or small motor yachts.

ON a river cruiser,you often have 2 external ribs along the boat,on each side of the boat, very close and parallel to the water line. They don’t seem to have any function, and some boats dont have them…HOW do you call lthem?
thanks
thank you, champer!

Rubbing strakes. They’re there to take the wear when you come alongside something, rather than damage the hull itself.

They can also, as an adjunct, keep down spray from the wash.

Not always fitted, but often present when a boat spends its life frequently going alongside quays, wharves, other boats etc.

Magic moments with P23 and P27.

I plan on building a plywood boat and will buy plans.But was wondering about the thickness of the plywood to use and can I just use regular plywood (exterior use type ) instead of marine plywood.And do I have to steam the plywood for bending into shape for the sides as the bottom will be flat?I plan to incorporate the ribs into the seats to cut down on the amount of plywood I use.I plan to use a thicker wood , probably planks or solid pieces of timber for the transom.Also I don’t know if it is worth it to use epoxy for waterproofing the boat.I do plan now to use galvanized,stainless steel, bronze or brass screws.

+ For years plywood boats were just coated with oil based paint. You can bend and screw the plywood to your frame(the better way is to steam it to shape). The plywood should conform if the boat is not too big and you are making a small skiff or row boat. most people use bronze screws but depending on how long you want it to last, you could use others just remember that even stainless steel and galvanized fittings will rust in ocean water or if given enough exposure. If you plan on using an engine the transom will need to be reinforced and braced(even a small outboard).
After your paint dries put the boat on saw horses and fill it with water as a test for both strength and water tightness.
Good Luck, as you can find used boat for pretty cheap this time of year and just improve them, or is it the challenge that you are going for.
The thickness of the wood depends on your size and weight carrying requirements. Marine plywood holds up longer. Be your own judge. Is the boat disposable and for light duty. How many years do you plan on using it?

4 Sports Boats from the SB&R Forum took part in a trip circumnavigating the IOW on June 26th 2010. A fantastic day out!
