How They Are Made
page 1 of 4
Each boat hull starts as a collection of bass craft wood ranging from 3/8 inch down to 1/16 inch thick. Each piece is cut from a template and may be beveled or notched to allow other pieces to fit properly.
Key pieces necessary for structural support are dry fit to check for accuracy and then glued in place using cyan acrylic glue (the common super strong glue sold under a few brand names your probably familiar with).
If we were building a real boat, a form would first be made and the structural skeleton pieces such as the transom (rear), bow stem (front), spine (keel) and ribs of the boat would be very precisely placed and fixed in place.
