I have seen This Video (Ep. 1 to 3) since they were Brand New so many times, and dreamed so much about having one of my own.... Now that I finally have one TO REBUILD... (buying new was Not an option) I'm again watching this with All Passion ! Thank You so much !
Okey, guys. As a proffesional boat builder (learned boat building in vocational school for 3 years and built yachts for 2 years) you two are doing TOP NOTCH QUALITY PROFFECIONAL WORK. I shit you not, its a joy to see all steps done RIGHT!!!
My question is where do I find a wife/girlfriend that would actually build a boat with me? You certainly don’t come across that everyday. You have done an amazing job on that thing, I’m really impressed!!!
Thumbs up Brooke. This is one epic build. I love restoring old cars but the effort you & Dennis are doing is applaudable. Used what you had to make a Backyard boat slinging/ rigging machine is what makes our country so Great. Cheers.
Looks Awesome ! I bought a 16` aluminum hull fishing boat. When I put it in the water, it had a bad lean to the driver`s side. I gutted the boat back to aluminum, tore out the sprayed in foam that was water logged causing the boat to lean. New floor boards. Outdoor carpeting, anchor winches front & rear with remote switches. 85 HP Johnson. Pedal operated trolling motor. New driver & passenger seats from Cabela`s. My Dream Machine. I enjoyed it that summer, then arthritis took that from me as well. It`s too much to handle.
Fantastic job guys, I used to build Thoroughbred Ski Boats, so I can appreciate the time and effort you've gone to, maybe you should now tear it apart and start taking some moulds and produce your little gem for the fishing industry. Well done! cheers, Wayne.
Of course, now that you're almost done all the "experts" come out with what you 'should' have done ... as if you are commercial boat builders with all the heavy equipment in a fancy shop somewhere. To rebuild a boat this nicely, by hand , on the ground, in your backyard, I think you two did an absolutely amazing job! But then, I think you are absolutely amazing anyway! Beautiful job ... Great videos!
Great video. I never thought of using the honeycomb board. Going to use alot of this information when I go to rebuild my boat. When I get the fallen tree out of it. Hurricane Michael hit us hard here in the Florida panhandle. So awesome you went with a mercury. Glad to see that
This is a project you both will remember for a long time. Even if you can buy new, this is a great way to use your skills and be very enjoyable throughout. Great job and thanks for sharing. Cheers!
You took me back 40years I rebuilt a Boston Whaler, made my owen center console, resine was 1dollar a gallon, catalist free,I had a Merc. engine also,,,thanks again
Girl I'm a fiberglass laminator and boat builder, been repairing boats before you were born, and I think you did a bloody good job, well done both of you.
Great job so far Brooke, a handy tip to know is that honeycomb board soaks up a lot of resin making it heavier than it should be, try giving it a light coat of resin first and let it dry then a light scuff before glassing properly, you will use a lot less resin and nearly halve the weight. Great work otherwise 😀
Ahh...filling , sanding , measuring up, fiberglass, trimming , gel-coating , itchy showers.. rince and repeat... brings me back to my time @ Riviera @ GC all that time ago...great vid guys!
Would be an awesome feeling of accomplishment to take that boat out and use it knowing how much you have made it your own. Great job guys, best husband and wife team ever!
You guys are amazing, all I got from my Mrs was abuse about how much everything was costing and all I do is work on my boat and how much it stinks and why is it taking so long ? etc.
Wow, you 2 have put in a bucket load of hours into the restoration, and it looks awesome, it's been fun watching the transformation, can't wait to see the finished product!
Monumental effort, bravo! Looks gorgeous. I have to admit. I subscribed to your channel because it included two of my favorite things. I thought you couldn't get more appealing until now. You're tough as nails too! Please tell Dennis in his green sledding hat that he doesn't deserve any pity. Tropical plants in the background and you. You would have to force me to wear clothes if I was him.
Very good job and a decent amount of HP too. Hope you have many days of fun fishing with your new boat. It must have taken many hours and money but end result is awesome.
When you hoist the boat up like that, with just chokers no yoke, you put a lot of pressure in places it's not designed to handle and it can get crushed in from the sides due to it's own weight tugging inward. Some sort of yoke should be used to get the lift to come straight up, not from an angle. Save all that angling for the fish.. Great job on the build and with all the video documentation. Thanks for posting..
Great job working on boat 👍😊 lots of hard wrk but i imagine very satisfying 😝 was good viewing Watching how much wrk goes into boat building 🤔👍Respect from Steve In Queensland 🏄♂️🏖
Wow! You two have done a very impressive job. Can hardly wait for your next episode. Yes, you have inspired me to take on my fixer upper. I just need to learn a lot more about fiberglass work.
Just a tip when painting or applying the resin. After you sand down the hull in between coats of paint wipe the hull down with acetone which cleans and gets rid of any impurity’s
Awesome work on your boat. I learned a couple of fiberglass techniques that I can use on my boat. Thank you. What is the commercial name for the honeycomb board you used?
I'm not sure what the commercial name for the HB board is but this is where we got it from. 😉 I couldnt see it on their website after s quick skim but I'm sure if you asked they would know what your talking about. allnex-coomera.business.site/
