Intro: Construction folding boats from polypropylene sheetI have already had experience in building boats "Skif" of wood. As a result of its use, I wanted to make the boat as light in weight and with the possibility of storage unthe bed or under the wall in the garage.

Step 1:

Bring to your attention the process of building a folding boat made of polypropylene own design. The boat was conceived light, compact, reliable - stability,maneuverability and ample. I sailed on a boat over 300km and is fully satisfied with the result! Boat weight about 40kg in the assembled form. Board height 50cm, wid1.20 m, length 3,75m. Transported on a car roof. Very stability. Under the motor 3.5 hp with 4 people on board is 10km / h, with one person speed of 12km / h. Going shore in 9 minutes.

When folded, the boat is a flat pack size 4 * 0.60 * 0.05 meters. Paddles and fin fit inside, sitting separately.

Step 2: To build the boats need 4 pieces of 5 mm thick polypropylene. I chose 4m long sheets of them to get a boat length of 3,8 m.

First marked out the pattern on the sheet and cut out using a jigsaw. Next, using the manual milling machine cut grooves along the edges of the sheet to be able to beside and bottom that allows you to fold the boat. Milling depth of 0.3 mm slot width 5mm.

Further, the sides and the bottom are connected by means of bolts and nuts. Between the sheets used sealant. Assembly of the half boat check for leaks, collect wateinside. Leak should not be. Next, connect the two halves of the boat and check for leaks again.

Step 3: In the boat has three seats. I t can is 4 people. Aft transom mounted to the motor. The seats are attached to the sides of the bolts. Under the seats installed unitsbuoyancy foam. Under the seats and floating keel blocks is inserted to enhance rigidity.

Step 4: General view of the patterns represented on the photo. Good luck!

This reminds me of a porta-bote, the old style with the small motor mount. New Porta-botes seem unbelievably expensive. I basically had one given to mesome years back, and received many hours of pleasurable fishing with it.

How much did your build cost? Where do you source your polypropylene sheet? Can the polypropylene sheets be purchased in various lengths?

asi2007_ukr_net says: Oct 5, 2014. 4:55 AM REPPP sheet buy from companies that are engaged in the construction of swimming pools and water tanks. It is best to use a sheet of 4m * 2m, then Patteboats without waste. Bought at the price of $ 30 per 1m2, ie $ 240 PP + 500 pcs of bolts with nuts and washers + tube of silicone sealant. For themanufacture of leather material used for shelves + foam.

You made it at home. Here is our boat made from 4 mm polypropylene sheet,and it's somewhere weird at least i think so. if possible,i want to discusswith you to improve. here is the link http://youtu.be/7eYN99DjbLE

asi2007_ukr_net says: Nov 29, 2014. 12:14 PM REPThank you for rating. What would you like to discuss?

asi2007_ukr_net says: Nov 29, 2014. 12:26 PM REPSo, now looked your video boats. You did? Original. I'm such a structure has not yet been seen. But I think for a quick trip, it is not necessaand I am perplexed by the buoyancy of the blocks on the sides. But all in all very interesting. Where are you from?

asi2007_ukr_net says: Oct 6, 2014. 12:55 PM REPUnfortunately no photos of the process of dismantling. The boat is going for 9-10 minutes. I made a boat for 4 days.
