Instant Boatbuilding with Dynamite Payson

by Harold H. "Dynamite" Payson

Dynamite Payson, the acknowledged master of the "Instant Boat," has teamed up once more with longtime collaborator and renowned designer Phil Bolger to bring you 15 new smart and able boats you can build with ordinary carpentry tools, a few weekends of time, and no previous boatbuilding experience. Using his well-proven taped-seam method, Payson provides full plans and step-by-step instructions to build:

  • a small, multipurpose skiff for sail, oar, and power
  • a pirogue for single- or double-paddle
  • a big pram
  • a maneuverable peapod for oar and sail
  • a shallow-draft sailing pocket cruiser
  • two rugged outboard-powered work skiffs
  • and more

Cut plywood panels to the clearly-labeled dimensions in these pages, glue and tape them together, and you'll be amazed at the sprightly and functional boats you create.
