Pimping Out My New Boat! 

Professional trucker here... That guy on the Honda riding mower backed up that trailered boat like a pro!

Where can I get a deal like this... Everyone near me is selling their tin boat with a 5 horse motor for 7 grand

A few things to note. 1. That paint on the motor looks like a factory paint job. Beautiful. 2. The LED lighting takes it to a luxury level and is very functional. 3. That thing ran and sounded like a dream when you were out in the water. 4. The drone footage and editing was perfect. 5. Please tell us how much money you put into repairs. And last but not least. The level of skill your buddy has with backing that thing out with a lawnmower was legendary. Like, extremely impressive. All around 10 outta 10 for the build and video. Instant subscribe and thumbs up.

I’m a Detailer in the Seattle area for over 15 years and I love how you guys are fixing up older boats for use because Fiberglass lasts so long and it’s a shame for boats to get neglected and then just destroyed after nobody wants to assume the responsibility of renewing. I only have one small thing I noticed. I understand it’s pretty simple to just paint it but you could have buffed it out and it’s brand new again plus the paint still needs some type of UV protection so it doesn’t powder up and disintegrate under the Sun ☀️. 🤔 I would have cut it out with a white pad and Meguires compounds including 2 coats of Cleaner Wax and 2 coats of Pure Wax. For the Topsides and for the Hull I would have done 2 or 3 coats of Cleaner Wax and after I would go with Teflon for 2 coats applied with an orbital for the extra penetration and saturation for long lasting protection. I would also use Metal wax for the T Top and rails so the salt comes off easily. 🙂 If I get a boat like this I would buff it out unless she would come out speckled from thin GelCoat. God Bless you guys you do great work! I appreciate how thorough you are. 😏🖖🏼🇺🇸

“It’s a Honda it would’ve started already” hell yea

The best boat related videos out there. No BS just showing how to get things done. Always look forward to the next one. Wellcraft are great boats too.

You need to wear a respirator whenever you're sanding, buffing or painting. Protect your lungs! Nice job on the boat!

When you were coming by the bridge, it looked familiar to me, even though I'm in NY... My grandparents lived on Treasure Island up until they passed in '12/'15... I used to fish under that bridge when I was a teenager (I'm 43 now). Got a lump in my throat when I made the connection (grandparents were my favorite people).

I love seeing older boats saved and restored it’s so satisfying!

Who needs sleep when the boat guy posts

This is a beautiful channel. The sincerity of the Boat Guy, his craftsmanship, and diligence to film and edit...I thank you, Boat Guy.. so relaxing and fascinating. With stickers!

I'm buying my first boat monday. It's a 20 footer from 2001. I plan on doing alot of this same stuff. Excellent video, thanks for sharing.

Well I don't want to say i'm jealous, but i'm jealous. That's a steal! Not every day you find a diamond in the rough like that

Dude this is one of my favorite rebuilds from you. Nice score for sure. I really appreciate how you show all the work it takes to make gems out of forgotten treasures. Keep em coming.

I applaud your creative content. My total boating experience is a short canoe trip, a day spent cruising a 30-acre lake in a rowboat, and one short ski boat adventure. I'm 69, and for various reasons I probably won't ever get in another boat. Yet I am fascinated by your videos. I love to see the boat come alive after some application of a little common sense, a sensible amount of money, and a lot of diligent effort. Great job.

That's amazing, the difference after you painted it. The motor looks brand new. Nice job!

Eric - you and John do a great job! I know there is tons of stuff you guys do that doesn't make it onto camera. I hope one day to buy a boat from you because I know you will have put quality time into it. Every boat you get is 101% better that when you got it. I love watching you guys transform boats. Keep up the good work!

Amazing job, Love these videos. My brother and I just did our first, 1988 17' Pro LIne, paid 3500, had 4800 in it after we were all done, sold it last week for 6500. That boat sat for 3 years and took us all winter ( we both work full time as well) Not bad for our first go round. Learned alot watching the Boat Guy. Keep em Coming.

you did a very good job on the restoration of this boat. Your visions are very professional. The way you explain every thing is just outstanding.

Love this boat!225 Johnson what a beast!

The drone work is literally fantastic

Great job! As someone whose rehab'd houses, cars, boats etc myself, I enjoy watching how thorough you are & how great they look finished. I've often used that boat ramp at Bay Pines.

Beautiful boat! Nice work! Those OMC v6 motors were screamers man! Love seeing those still slinging steel.

You are a talented young man . Looking forward to more projects .

Glad people appreciate Johnson’s personals there by far my favorite

That came out really nice. Going on 2 years with my boat and still has not seen water yet so i understand all the work u did. 🤙🏼 good job brother.

My dream boat . I've always wanted that size and style ever since seeing my first one. Fantastic job great work.

I watch all of your videos and I keep watching this one over and over. So cool. Nice job guys! That's a $30K boat all day!

I've watched a few of your videos and I'd say this is the best one yet in terms of what you initially paid, your total investment, and how it turned out. Great looking boat!

When the engine reved high on startup around 3:45 it sounded like a straight piped Ferrari f12

This things is PERFECT, just like the doctor ordered. Perfect size, , brand, shape, engine. This is on my bucket list, ill be looking for one of this for sure. Hope I can get a good deal, put some work into it and have a good boat in my hands. If I ever get one of this it will not leave me for a looong looong time. 👌👌👌👌👌👌

That is so cool, especially the Johnson topping out 45 👍 great looking boat.

It would be cool see a cost brake down on how much the build end up costing

Very impressive.....enjoyed you guys hard work...so shameful that there are millions of dollars spent on nice boats and are left out in the weather to ruin, proud of the people who bring them back to be used again....keep up the good work.

Never gets old watching you guys work your majic. Thanks for sharing. Someday I'll have to hit you up and buy one of your restored project boats!

Nice work on the boat, it came up great. I love the sound of 2 stroke outboard at full noise.

the 2-stroke sounds so sweet

Wow what a deal! This thing looks perfect after the elbow grease .

Wow I work with a bunch of truck drivers, and that guy backed the boat out with the mower like a BOSS. Nice boat.

Killer job. That boat looks sooo good. Love your rehabs!

I can't believe how cheap you get things! Over here in Australia thats a 30k boat even the way you brought it! Probably 40k after you fixed it up! Madness

That's a lot of boat for $2,200 And it's a really nice fishing boat as well, just a lot of cleaning to to and some minor repairs, nice find! If I was living a bit nearer to you - and not in Europe - I would buy it from you in an instant. Great fishing and sports boat and great performance as well.

Great watching your restorations in every way. Thanks for your time effort.

Awesome refurbish to an older boat. Loved the video and amount of details. You guys kick ass, keep doing what your doing!!

i get so overly excited whenever i see you upload these types of videos xD

This shows the difference in prices for in-landers / land dwellers, that boat in KY would have been 6k -7k w/ trailer here in the "as is" condition.

Looks amazing from day 1 to final finish. Awesome job !!!

I wish I had your skills and knowledge. I would love to bring my boat back 2 life

How do you always just magically get steals on boats that run like a charm 😂

Damn this is awesome, wish I was friends with them so I can watch and learn in person. Thankfully they make good videos. I want to own a boat one day but I want to restore one like you do so that I can learn the ins and outs of a boat. Great find like always... congrats and thanks for the videos

I so enjoyed this video. May have cost some $$, but the sweat equity pays off . LOOKS GREAT! I am a newbie, ready to retire at 55. Sometimes you have to pull the trigger, live and learn! Thank you Boat Guy!

I watched it again Eric Loved the lights and looks like a New Ship to me Great Great Beautiful !!!

Well done. Polishing a turd. I can't always afford shiny new things, so I understand hard work to make something I can afford nice and something to be proud of.

I love the sound of the older 2 stroke v6 mercs and jonnyrudes

My favorite boat that you have restored. Great job.

You did a great job with boat. This is by far my favorite channel. Keep up the good work.

You need to drive that straight to Barbados for me.....

it amazing what u did to this boat dude, really inspires me to find a good buy and do the same thing

Somebody's life was coming to an end and this became yours for a song good job brother really good work well put together video as well thank you for sharing

I miss doing this type of work!! I miss working on a different boat every day or week! Cleaning and restoring being able to turn something around yo look and run like brand new and seeing the customers satisfaction is like nothing else!

Will be moving to FLA from TX this fall , I'll continue watching your builds, and be looking to purchase a boat in 21.

People always talk about watching that guy building pools in the forest at 3am but ThatBoatGuy has me ready to sell a kidney to buy a yacht that I don't need

Perfect size fishing boat! I'd be happy with it! Nice job!

I have my wife watching now. She really liked your transom lights.

I've never seen the inlet at John's Pass so calm!

Lets hope this awesome transformed boat gives Eric the funds he needs to upgrade his plastic bag shoes 😁 amazing work again Eric. Got much respect for you.

I have no clue how you are finding boats like this for that cheap. Blows me away

Loved every minute of this video that was a hell of a deal on that boat.

Impressive boat and impressive trailer reversing skills

What is it worth now? What did you sell it for? That’s the information that would be the cherry on top to know! Awesome refit! You are a real pro and love your station

Awesome job bros! Thank you for sharing!

You guys made that look so easy! I had Sea Ray Laguna 21 back in the day. Congratulations on a good job!

Enjoyed every second of this video, you guys really did a number on that boat! Those LED lights really made that boat a bad bitch 💯🔥

When the time came for new registration numbers for my most recent boat I looked online for some catchy graphics & such. Got nice multicolored shaded numbers and letters for not much more than basic stick-on mailbox fare. You should try some fancy numbers next time. Good looking boat too, by the way.

I am so stoked to the amazing job you guys did. Wow. Kudos. You rock!👍👍👍👍

I'm glad you guys got a good deal my dad recently bought a 1988 20ft runabout with a 4.3L mercruser . I can't remember the price but under 2k, turns out not a single piece of structural wood was good, he had to completely rebuild the transom and replace the stringers, plus it had many stress cracks in the gel coat today was the first real test of it on the water and as soon as the engine hits around 3000rpm at around 35mph the engine either throttle downs or dies. My dad's too stubborn to listen to reason and has already put 150+hr working on it. But at least he's got something to get him through quarantine.

foe the older boats like that that are faded i reccomend Poly-Glow instead of regular wax

This is awesome, makes me want to get started on a similar project.

Love it! Just found your channel and have been watching all types of your vids. I grew up in the SW Florida area near North Port and I'm moving back in a few months after being in Colorado for about a decade. Cant wait to get back and get a boat and start hitting the water again!!

One of my favorite boats that you've done. Very nice.

Fix it up and sell it to me for a profit. That’s exactly what I’m looking for!

Love watching your restoration work on these “Gem’s”, you guys do beautiful work!!! I glad you let us know how much you paid for the boat, but could you please let us know how much you put into the boat and how much you sold it for if you did? Thanks (:

You did an amazing job! Very jealous of the incredible deal you found!

Dude's a G on that lawnmower

Just curious, how often do you come across a $3000 or less boat like this? If it’s common enough, I’ll fly down and drive back to Washington State with a boat. This is a 10-20k boat all day up here.

That looks fantastic. Great Job. A question, can those speaker lights be seen from the water? If so maybe one should be green to match the navigation lights as a safety measure. Love the videos!

The engine paint job came out looking great!

Nice work on that boat you guys have done a great job she looks fantastic

be interesting to see the condition of the water jackets inside that motor. Looks good externally, could be trashed inside (runs ok though)

You guys should list the paint and stuff you used

You do amazing work. Love the transformations.

This boat is awesome! I'm so jealous you found such a good price too. I'm a teacher at an alt ed school and I'm always looking for new ways to reward students with great opportunities. It's not always clear to some teachers, but rewards often work better than just consequences. Figured it could be a great way to incorporate field ecology and biology work as well. Since March-ish I've been on the hunt for a great deal like this but I haven't found my unicorn yet. Full jealous! Congrats, she's pretty! Subscribed.

So many little details. Endless almost. Sweat equity. Looks freakin great

Dagggum 2200 bro around here everyone selling there old busted Jon boats with a trolling motor for 2200 nice find man

Wow awesome job turned out to be a beautiful boat make anybody happy to own that newer older newer looking boat great job congratulations

Always a nice start when you don't need a shovel or leaf blower.

TheBoatGuy is eating pancit!!! New sub for that pancit.

Only in FL you'll see a guy towing with a lawn mower lmao

What a deal, wish I could find something like that in Tennessee!!

Thanks guys, I'm motivated to start my project.
