    I am looking to build a boat similar to an ipb 16 or an suv 17 native ankona.

    I want to make a plug, then a mold, then a hull. Once i have a nice mold, What kind of lamination schedule would you guys recommend on the finished product on a hull? Also a timeline schedule?

    thanks so much

    Timeline....2 plus years for a part time amateur, if you don't lose interest.
    Layup schedule depends on hull shape, framing, stringers, bulkheads and desired horsepower.
    Final cost in materials and tools will be more than a bare hull Ankona.

    It will be 16-17 feet and run a 25 hp to 40 hp. Im not doing it by myself a bunch of friends are investing in the design and work. Then we will pull at least 6 boats off of the mold.

    It will be a flat bottom with a v bow. pretty simple setup. What would that schedule look like?

    Thanks in advance

    Hey cor21ee,
    I'm rebuilding a boat (slowly) and had a lot of questions on how to repair my 1967 skeeter boat. My flooring and the transome was rotten. I've removed all the flooring and replaced the transome. This has been a fantastic learning experence with the process. The best part is going to a custom boat manufacture and watching the process has been great.

       I've been visiting a boat manufacture for the last 8 months. The building process is awsome. I've picked up several (how to ideas) from them. My best advice would be to invest in the time to go to a custom builder, watch their processes, ask good quallity questions and help out where you can. It has been a jaw dropping experences. 

    my 2 cents.

    Had to dig around in my old links to find this reference page.
    Explains how scantlings are calculated, excellent white paper
    on the subject with tables and graphs included.

    http://proboatradio.com/2012/07/12/rob-schofield-on-scantlings/

    The rule of thumb that I was taught is quoted in the white paper:

    "Start with 2 layers of mat, then for every 10 feet of hull length 2 plys of mat and woven roving"

    There are a few people on here that could give you a lamination schedule and I think the reason you are not getting specifics is because of liability.

    The lamination schedule is determined by the designer/nautical engineer.

    Sorry. Try your question on boatdesign.net. Lots of engineers there.
