PREPARING YOUR QUICKBOAT
FOR YOUR ADVENTURE
In this chapter you will learn how to assemble your Quick-
boat, attach an outboard motor, pack away your Quickboat
and keep your Quickboat beautiful.
2.1
ASSEMBLING YOUR QUICKBOAT
The easiest way to learn how to assemble your Quickboat
is to watch James’ assembly guide on YouTube. You can
find it at this link:
http://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=3LbFQybP38E
or
just Google “How to assemble your Quickboat”.
Please note that the foredeck assembly has changed since
the video was developed. Please follow the instructions in
this guide to build the foredeck section of your Quickboat.
IMAGE 1. The Quickboat is packed in two bags; the long
bag with the hull and the short bag with the other pieces
that make up your Quickboat.
IMAGE 2. Open the short Quickboat bag and lay each
piece of your Quickboat out as if you are building the boat
without the hull. Keep the black padding aside to use when
you are packing the boat away.
IMAGE 3. Lay the pieces in the following order:
1. Motor plate
2. Transom
3. 2 x power transfer poles
4. Skipper’s seat (the one with the Quickboat logo on it)
5. Extender bar
6. Crew member’s seat
7. Cross brace
8. Nose cone
9. Foredeck plate
IMAGE 4. Open your Quickboat hull bag (the long one)
and place the hull next to the other pieces of the boat.
Before you start to build your Quickboat, you need to
assemble the foredeck and the skipper’s seat.
Assemble the foredeck
The foredeck is asembled from three parts: the cross
brace, the foredeck plate and the nose cone.
IMAGE 5. Unfold the foredeck. Slot the triangular shaped
foredeck neatly into the groove on the cross brace.
IMAGE 6. Pick up the nose cone and slot the groove of the
nose cone into place onto the foredeck.
IMAGE 7. To complete the structure, thread the white strap
through both loops of high tensile strap. Secure this strap
by threading through both metal rings, passing back over
the first ring and threading through the second. Pull down
firmly to ensure the foredeck is secure (IMAGE 8 a-c).
