Can't see a Boating forum so here goes...

I have been in Thailand for 22 years.  Yes its a long time.  I have a (bad?) habit of doing kind of crazy things that interest me--for instance I have restored a 1957 Benz 190,  built (CORRECTION:  I GET OTHER PEOPLE TO DO THE WORK) a few Porsche 356 replicas (turned out VERY nice), wood-fired pizza ovens (before they became the rage) , portable giant BBQ, lots of weird things.  Whatever strikes my fancy.  

SO I have the plans to build a catamaran--I bought them from Robert Bruce Goodman.  The plans I have right now are for a fiberglass catamaran.  

I do know some people who can make the molds and do the fiberglass.  But making one boat would not make a lot of sense--makes more sense to make 2 or 3.

ALSO I know nothing about boats--of course that did not stop me from making the Porsches.  :)

Could also start from scratch and do aluminum.... if I can find someone who knows how to do it.

Anyway, would anyone be interested?  Would especially be interested in someone to join who knows more about boats than I do... not that that would be difficult hahahaha

Picture of my Porsche, just for fun.

Join a boating forum. Also search yacht building Langkawi Malaysia.

 

TV is great for the where is the best pizza and my wife stole our house type of thing

 

Nice porsche!!

 

 

Thnx for the suggestions... Was planning to do it here in Thailand.  Again, I never think a project is too difficult. haha one of my faults.

Just thought, especially if I go fiberglass, might as well make 3 instead of just one.  Share costs and especially get someone who has some knowledge.. there must be a few people here.

I know enough about boats to warn you this will be your most expensive whimsical adventure and possibly the one that sinks.
B.O.A.T. Acronym, Break Out Another Thousand and in Thailand that would currently be ฿31,994

Yeah that just makes me want to do it all that much more....

Maybe I have more money than sense....

That's about to change real quick [emoji16]

Look in the boating section of Bahtsold, there are other likeminded people there looking for "partners"

Here in Phuket are several cat building shops. My useless bro-in-law worked in one at Chalong. Come here and look around but be aware that fiberglass hulls are not really easy to build. Some excellent ones with the closed-cell foam buoyancy are being built in Australia and S-Africa. A good friend bought one of the latter two years ago and is very pleased.

 

Porsche looks good. You have skills.

 

Scrap the catamarans. I hate water.

 

Cobra replicas. I like fast cars.
