Jon,
Thanks for the knowledgeable advice. I have copied and saved it.
Regards trying to use cheap non-boat materials. Your time is worth something more significant than the cost of materials. Ease of use as well as cost are a factor as well. I tried PL glues and Sikaflex and probably 5200 as well. Epoxi turned out to be cheaper when bought in quantity, and far easier to use and get good results. The more so after I got some experience using it. Use little boats to get building skills with materials and techniques you will use on larger craft.
After building a Bolger boat you will find that you have a far more worthy boat than the sandbox it may appear to be. I built a Teal and someone with a very complex dinghy challenged me to a rowing race. Joke. His fancy dinghy neither towed nor rowed nearly as well as mine.

Duckworks sells Michael Storer plans for a hopped up PD Racer and has recently made plans for a 12 ft. version called PD Goose.
I always thought that the ultra simple PDR is a racing class that PCB would approve of….

Robert,
I was also thinking of the PD Racer or one of its cousins -- useful little
boat, very simple, not too much material, the plans are free to download and so
instantly available, and a troll through pdracer.com and Duckworks would turn
up some examples that could be both useful boats and the envy of the

There is always the tortoise as a brickette. I built it from the older Payson instant boat book
It could hold two adults and two kids and a dog.
I built it for the very same reasons and I learned some very valuable lessons
Like if you mix a large batch of polyester resin put it in a wide open container not a narrow tall plastic one ( exotermic reaction I won't forget )
€5 for two sheets is not a sign that the dodgy russian birch ply is excellent boat building material
And finally if you take your 7 year son on the maiden voyage and water starts to fountian in through a pin hole he may suggest you change hobbies using Sailor talk you diidn't expect him to know !
Still it was good fun and it floated and I had built it so I would totally recomend that you that you go ahead and build.
Here is a link to the only photo I have of that fine craft in Longwood harbour in Ireland
You may have to join PDR yahoo group but that would be no bad thing as there is lots of info about this type of boat here
If the link doen't work look in the pdr photos for "HULK"
Good Luck Building

thanks for the welcome. i hadnt planned on actually nailing as much as using some good wood screws. if i am right the brick is app. 8 x 4 which is pretty big for a pool but kids dont mind that much. our pool is 20 x 40 so they should be able to float around and paddle it. i probably wont use or build the sail rig though. i just want to get my hands dirty trying the concept. this is my first boat so i thought i would go small. is there a design that is smaller than brick but along the same lines? maybe a "brickette" lol

Dick,
I'm not sure of the reasons but silicone anything isn't the way to go. Check out pdracer.com for some ideas about the assembly of a slightly modified Brick. Also, if you want even more info on the construction details of this type of boat go to Duckworks magazine online (quick search) and check out the OZ pdracer plans by Michael Storer. Thise two sources will provide you with info on alternative glues and construction techniques. Best not to use silicone. Weldwood plastic resin glue ( powder mixed with water), pl premium construction adhesive, pl premium concrete repair construction adhesive (both in tubes), Titebond III waterbase waterproof glue (water cleanup, non toxic).... There are many other choices, most requiring more accurate joints than epoxy. Please look into them...
Sincerely,
Gene T.

Sounds cool, Mark.I had a good time paddling theEeek!I built. The short length was great for poking into little nooks and creeks around the lake. It was easy to haul around, too, without the ballast needed for sailing.
Looking forward to seeing pics!

If this is one of the real gutter sealents used by pros like Gutermans Choice it works poorly on wood. If water gets in it loses its bond. It is not like a silicone it is more like 3M3200 but not as good on wood. 3M3200 works best on wood that is sealed. GC works great on steel and aluminum like aluminum boats that leak at seams and rivets.

I've got the Cruising Canoe from SBJ#45 in the works, just as a paddling monohull. Panels are sprung w/ gun'ls and chines on. I 2x'd the magazine pages to pick out the sheer and put them onto the EEEK! bottom.
A not that special recession substitute for the 19' Diamond Cruising Kayak. Just a decent grade of Luan underlay, PL and some 1/2 x 3/4 molding, about everything but the ring nails came from Home Depot.
It almost got stretched to 14 feet for more displacement, but the rectangular panels seemed huge for my current pack everything away between sessions style of building, or for waving around in the wind on portage.
No pix yet, but thanks to Bruce, here's a rendering.

Robert, if you want some stickum from the box store, the best for
nail and glue construction is PL premium.
A Brick is an awfully large raft for any swimming pool, if that's
what you mean. It _will_ make a great sand box. The sail rig is
about half the project.
To suit your stated purpose and still have something left over to
motor, you might consider building Payson's Bolger Skimmer. It's the
same set of lessons. You need a good book to explain a lot of these
things, why not order Instant Boats or/and Build the New Instant Boats?

The only problem you may have is if you are going to paint the boat, paint does not stick on silicone and you may end up with large fish eyes on the areas contaminated by the silicone. To avoid that you may spray a light washcoat of 2# cut shellac before painting, so you can create a barrier between the silicone and the coating.

i am planning on building a brick. i am just building it to get an idea what it is like to build with plywood. it probably isnt going to be used a lot since we dont have a decent lake in Abilene. instead of using epoxy to seal the seams i was thinking of using a tube of sealent that is used for sealing gutters on the house.it is alot like tar but is a silicone compound of some sort. i know this isnt the prefered way but as i said it is just a test build for fun. do you think this will work for just a few summer months in the pool. my grandkids will think it is a blast and i figure i can always fill it with sand for my grandkids to play in when i leaks like a sieve.
