If you want to see more about the boat, see the longer in depth videos here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d1PBdPW1VSs.html&ab_channel=Zaplethal If this looks familiar to you it's because it's a repost. My old video kept being inaccurately copy right claimed and I needed to reedit it with new music for you all to see. The boats name is maeumi, まえうみ or 前海 which means the begging of the ocean and is a play on my grandmother's last name maekawa まえかわ or 前川 which means the begging of the river
Your dad is absolutely correct when saying “they’ll never ask how long it took, only who built it”. What a gangster, congratulations on a beautiful boat!
The format and style of your videos are perfect. You show enough to be informative about what you did, but none of the other BS. The boat looks amazing.
Well done. Although I prefer restorations to the original, your resto-mod looks awesome. As an old codger, I much prefer the shape of these older boats to the new stuff. Brings back my childhood memories of the best boats.
Wow. Inspirational build. So great! Found my way to your channel via your home depot guitar today. New subscriber. I reckon you're gonna get a lot more of those very soon. Keep the builds comin!
I've done a fair bit of restoration (boats and cars) myself. You can be very proud of this project I know how damned hard it is to deal with a wreck and get it top-notch again. For every tiny rotten spot, there will be a big gap after taking the rotten stuff away. Working with fiberglass, filler, and paint isn't easy. So congratulations on the fine result...enjoy! :)
Hey brother, first of all, amazing project! After watching this for a few times, I finally decided to buy a similar boat. How much did you approximately spend on the restoration? I have two options, one boat in average condition with a higher price tag and one in a worse/almost bad condition with much cheaper price tag. What do you think, which way should I go, since I am a complete beginner in boat restoration? Have a nice day!
Wow i have a skagit 17 that was in basically the same condition of this, I always wanted to restore mine but couldnt get the funds together. Did you out a 50 horse honda on the back?
Ah man, growing up, every time I saw a derelict small boat like that I fantasised about revamping it - so cool to live vicariously through you on this project🥲
What kind of boat is this? Is it a Skagit 16? Is this a particular style boat or is that a brand. What year we thinkin’? Thanks. Sorry i know nothing about boats.
No need to apologize. It is the brand Skagit and 16 is the length. As for the style I'm not super sure, there is a little history doc online about the history of the company and boat types when you look up Skagit. I believe the boat is between 1958-1960? I think the companies warehouse burned down so it can't be older than that. But I recommend you research if you are really interested
Boat looks sick, but there is so much exposed wood inside the hull and un sealed screws in the boat this thing is going to rot in a few years. That doesn’t include the fact that he didn’t replace the original stringers which were rotten in one spot and replaced that with a tiny piece of wood with some glass over it. That hull is going to have issues.
Yeah you're right and you're wrong. The hull is completely treated and sealed, I showed that on a separate video just cut it out for the recap video. The old stringers were only small parts in the corners to hold some old seat posts, so I just put new wood for mounting points there. The rest of the stingers were made with 1/16 inch glass with polyvynal resin with no wood in them and the floor on it before was 1/8th inch normal ply so although I only used one layer of 1708 biaxial fiberglass and no wood in the stringers, which I understand is less than ideal, I tied it in with a 3/4 sheet of treated marine grade plywood decking that gave support to the whole structure and evened the laod out across what is a relatively small hull. Which I still understand isn't the right way to do it, but it is much much better than the original and that lasted 50 years, and so far this has lasted 4 years with no signs of wear. As for the screws they were just to hold the wood in place while I let the epoxy dry, all of them were removed and filled/sealed with thickened epoxy later. So it won't last 20 years of fisherman's abuse but it easily last for the 50 years of lake cruising that I built it for. I did mess up plenty more on my boat though, that is worth criticism. All lessons to learn for the next one! Thanks for watching the video and feeling passionate enough about it to comment
Is this a fake account? This build was completed quite some time ago, along with a compete Starr-to-finish video - certainly last year, if not older. There were accompanying progress videos too, none of which are present on this channel. While I can’t find the original, this feels like the video has been ripped from another account. Either than, or you’ve just reuploaded the complete build and inexplicably deleted all the progress videos.
