Montana Boatbuilders offers the most complete plans and kits available anywhere.
Our plans include over 60 pages of step by step instructions. From setting up your workspace and choosing helpful tools, to detailed instructions for building seats, dryboxes, steam bent knee braces and laminated, curved parts, these plans will walk you through the process of building your perfect boat. The clear and concise drawings pages are all formatted to fit on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets and come in a handy binder for easy access.
Kits:
Our kits include precision cut plywood and dimensional pieces with pre-cut scarfs. All the necessary wood, epoxy, fiberglass and screws are included along with a starter kit of mixing sticks and cups, rubber gloves, brushes and rollers and squeegee. You provide sanding paper, paint, varnish, and basic tools required such as a handsaw, screwgun and router to round over your edges. Some models will require more skill and time than others, but all are designed for the first time builder and the instructions are easy to understand in non technical terms.
Plans versus Kits:If you are a complete woodworking novice, have limited time, or simply want some steps done for you, we highly recommend purchasing a kit over plans alone. With the kit, we have done many of the more difficult steps including scarfs and rounded cuts, for you. In addition, the kit includes most of the necessary materials such as fiberglass and epoxy and plywood, in the required amounts at great prices, saving you the hassle of ordering from many different suppliers and paying individual shipping on materials. This allows you to get started building sooner rather than spending hours on the phone arranging shipments. Many times, our kit price is less than the price of ordering all the parts separately. Kits may also be custom ordered if you would like to modify your own boat.
Boatbuilders Forum:
We also have a web based bulletin board that allows builders to interact with other builders of our boats. This forum has several highly experienced people who regularly take part and is a fun way to both ask questions and answer them. If you have a question about our kits or plans, please don't hesitate to drop us an email for more information.
