Amazing Boat Restoration Must See!!! 

@5:40, I live in central Florida. One time when I was a kid, I went with my dad to go look at a hog trap out on a friend of a friends property. We find the trap and the owner was whizzed up in his 4x4 after having come out of nowhere not even knowing that we were arriving at that specific time. He had seen us in his scope from his truck apparently. The 70+ year old florida rancher comes down and greets us and goes over to the trap with us. There is a spare corn feeder sitting there that he is leaning on while my dad and the man were chatting. I notice a smaller then a baseball but much larger then a golf ball sized nest of angry yellow jackets (easily 18-25 wasps) on the bottom of the feeder. I interject and say "sir watch out for that wasp nest there" and he said "oh, them? Ill get em." Then he proceeded to reach out with his bare hand and snatch the wasp nest (wasps included). He did it quickly but calmly and crumpled it between both hands. After a quick rub or two he let them spill out onto the forest floor, the wasps and nest reduced to crumble. I was in absolute awe. I loved smashing a wasp nest with a stick and running but this man was a legend to me for that. My dad raised his eyebrows at the situation for a minute then continued on. That is an old memory that I just remembered. Sorry to spill that out here but I hope someone will enjoy it. Only in rural Florida.

I would have never picked that shade of blue, but I would have lost out because the boat turned out really sharp looking.

A Romantic Sunset Cruise? Adorable!

I honestly believe you could do that for a living if you had an large garage where you could work on several boats at once. The lighting on those boats is killer!

Aquasports are some of the best boats ever. Built by guys who loved what they did and knew what they were doing.

That boat came out amazing!!! You make me want to go out and buy another boat and fix it all up like this! I love watching your videos and can’t wait to see the next one!

Beautiful boat. I’ve always been a fan of Aquasport, especially the CC,s

This is why I watch your channel for the amazing restoration work and repair you do on these boats and motors.🛥

What an amazing restoration! Unfortunately I'm not that mechanically inclined, nor DIY capable...yet! Keep it up! If I were in FL I would definitely come and buy a refurbished boat or engine from you. Happy 2020 to you and God bless.

Those drone shots were very well done! I was a bit sceptical about light blue when you started but it turned out awesome! Looking forward to future videos.

hey you're in my back yard. I used to live about a mile from Lake Seminole. Nice resto man!

Watching this again 9 months later wish I could of bought this thing it came out amazing and hauls butt too, always great work guys!

Those drone shots at the end make me wish I lived somewhere I could own a boat.

Great job man. Great to see guys taking pride in their work which is evident when looking at the finished product. Come up beautiful, well done.

Nice job on the auqasport .I really enjoyed all your tips on servicing the engines . I've learned a lot from you .you do a GREAT JOB of explaining what you are doing and I really appreciate that . You are great teacher for someone like me who mechanically declined thanks for everything Chris

That boat lays down beautifully at high speeds. Great job!!!

If I was the previous owner I'm gonna cry and want it back 😭💙 turned out like new.

Beautiful job, that blue definitely pops, and the leds at night just accentuate it. Well done. 👍

Hi, I'm uncertain as to how I arrived here,... But, I'm hooked! Thank you, Liked, subbed and rang the bell!

Great job! I wish you could restore my old boat but with your tips maybe I can do half as good.

Dang man, that boat looks great. I love the add on lights.

She turned out to be a diamond in the rough! Nice restore.

Holy cow!! That boat came out great!! Absolutely beautiful!!!

Another great restore Eric. You will have no problem selling this beauty!

Great job bro. If I’m ever able to buy a boat. I’m coming to see you first.

Really love what you do! Taking these beautiful old boats and making them like new again! Well done!!!

Amazing job. I love see people breath new life into old boats. Currently helping my dad re-do his 25' Parker, it's almost done. Got yourself a new Sub

That boat is awesome. I really like it! Hell of a job, I really like the blue LED lights.

Love your videos man! Would be cool if you showed what products you use ie; paint, cleaner, bottom paint, stains, fiberglass repair. Keep the restorations coming!

That blue looks badass goes good with the blue on the motor cover

The boat turned out really nice. Thanks for sharing 👊

Great boat! Used to live in TB and this brings back memories.

Always love when you do another project - i've enjoyed all of them. Quick question.. you have taken the effort to completely paint and transform the look of the boat, how come you didn't order a new set of graphics for the outboard motor. It just would of finished the project off perfectly. That aside, I love what you do and achieve - bring on the next project! Cheers

Cool build! I’d like to see more on the product, tools, price & process of your paint job. 👍🏼 cool video subscribed!

Awesome restore. Love the lights and the color. Just picked up an 86 Robalo 2520 with dual Yamaha 250s that needs a lot of love. You gave me great ideas and inspiration. Having grew up in St Pete and with an aunt that lives on lake Seminole, I spent a lot of time on the lake. New subscriber and look forward to watching more of your videos.

I love watching your boat projects. This one is a really good looking boat. Keep making videos.

Well done! You should really open a restoration shop.

Great job! That thing turned out amazing. How does it pull with the short trailer frame?

That's the best boat you guys have done yet! Wow what a difference man, really just wow

Keep up the awesome restores I love watching your videos! The attention to detail is spot on! 🤙🤙🤙

Merc phantom black works great and new decals, invest in a spray rig, otherwise looks good.

I love the LED strips that you use in all of your builds. Could you drop a link as to where you buy them? Thanks!

I’ve only seen a few of your restorations, but you do an amazing job and get great deals on boats.

That is a beautiful boat after you finished up with it, thanks for sharing this restoration with us

Amazing transformation. I had my doubts on your pale blue colour choice, but when finished, it looked a treat. Great job, great video. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍

What is the name brand of the gel coat? I can look up where to purchase it. And also the deck paint.

Love seeing trash turned back into treasure. Your upgrades are a great touch.

Great looking boat. The blue paint makes a huge difference.

I wish I had your skill set, lived where the boats are, but mostly, the energy of being young. Really nice stuff. The shots of the boat under way using "follow me" with a drone turned out fantastic. They do in all your videos.

Can you give me any details on the paint color and brand?

I love the boat job. I've always wanted that style of boat. Great fishing boat. Nice job guys!

you do amazing work, i like the fact that you go the extra mile.. very impressive.

Do you have a link to the paint you used on the outside of the hull? I love the color and wanna put it on my Carolina skiff

Yo had to try the 4 hp to see how it did with the boat. Overall a good running and looking boat. HOW MUCH DID IT SELL FOR ??? 🤔🤔🤔

HARD WORK DOES PAY,ENJOY YOUR WORKMANSHIP..THANKS FOR THE VIDS OVIEDO FL.

Florida dreamer amazing looks brand new ,love the lights n paint🤑💯

That boat looks amazing friend!! . I bet a Carolina fan would love this!! Oh btw man i cringed a lil when you didnt use bumpers at the dock, you put so much work into it and i was surprised you didnt use bumpers. Great boat , if i had 13 grand id buy it. 30 years old and looks beautiful

Nice

That Aquasport is a great fishing platform. We fished one for years. That boat crossed the Columbia River bar countless times without a hitch. Very nice rehab. Someone is going to buy a solid craft.

I have just recently found your channel and am addicted to the content. What you do is amazing!!!!

Makes me wanna restore a boat man great job 👍

The seadek pad should be at the Helm when you are standing

Love the Carolina blue ! Turned out awesome !

Love the colors. Lights. Shape of the boat

I would like to know the address where you guys sell these boats.

How does that paint hold up? I’ve always heard it’s a bad idea to paint over the gel coat!

Exactly what I wanted to see in a boat restoration video. Great Job!

Looks mint. Love your work! Thanks for sharing.

Do you sell these boats ? I’m interested if so

I bet those engines would look great if they were painted white

Awesome Job Dude's like watching all your Boat Restores...

I have been watching several of your videos this is probably my favorite you've done, looks great.

I fell like there is to much bule

we’re practically neighbors. I’m on 64th St S and 2ave S. Pm me if you ever need an investor, partner, or a hand I have experience and tools. would be interested in joining the operation

You take apart carbs with so much confidence and it's awesome. You obviously have alot of knowledge and experience

Really appreciate you posting up the prices, gives us casual viewers an idea of how much it all costs. Subscribes and looking forward to future videos.

Great job . Love watching your videos . I live on Lake Erie in Canada there is so many boats sitting around & need to be brought back to life it’s sad ! You do a great job !

I didn't like that shade of blue, At first, but after the restoration was finished, all I can say is "Holy shit!". You have a great eye for this. You know what you're doing and you do it well! Boat looks so sharp!

You’ve done such an amazing job - i love the blue, really a nice change from the all white! I love the duckegg blue that’s quite popular now.

I love how easy this guy makes carburetor work look

at first when you were going to turn almost everything blue i got really hesitant but now i know why... it looks AMAZING! great job and stay safe.

excellent video, the drone footage was amazing. keep them coming! im just a Local st pete fan enjoying these.

Great job!! I really enjoyed this one . Paint color looks awesome

Eeesh 42 mph!!! Sweet. Man those lights are too too cool!!! Love em!

Wasn't sure about the color until it was complete. Nice matte look too. Lights help set it off!!

you kidding me!!!! thats sick looking boat. i will look so some to restore myself. thank you for the good info and wish me luck bro.

Bud, been watching your vids for quite some time. Imo, outstanding stuff, great detail and great how-to elements. TY

Great job & nice center console....thanks for taking the time to edit & post!!!

Great job on the boat! looks like work but a lot of fun to restore it with some TLC.

That boat looks fantastic especially in the evening.

Love your editing. Gets right to the point ti what matters

Really like how this boat turned out.

That blue is freaking sweet looking. Beautiful job

wow, you made it, i have been thinking of doing a project like this i love it ! great vid, amazing boat.

Great looking job on the boat!!!

Great job on the boat. Love that color. That was some awesome drone footage. I’d be scared to lose my drone in the water.

Really awesome restoration man. The boat looks great!

Hard work pays off. Labor Time starts when you start looking for a boat to restore. Not when you start restoring a boat. Labor Time ends when the boat is sold. Great job man with the documentation to prove that the work was done and how it was done. :)

Both arms up for you Boat guy !!!!, besides the great film you also share the costs of this project with us , thats very AWESOME!!!.

Boat looks amazing!!! I just picked up a 1988 mckee craft offshoreman... FOR FREE!!!!!! I CANT WAIT to get it running... just wish i knew what i was doing.
