This boat was abandoned for many years, I bought it and restored it from bottom up! I was finally able to take it out on the lake and it did not disappoint, goes very fast and catches fish too!

Here’s the restoration video if you haven’t seen it yet. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nHTgmScUbCY.htmlsi=o0B_pDkZr-XMLgMY

@DW-hm3ki 5 месяцев назад

One thing to remember is don't unhook your front strap of your boat until you get it to the water. If you would have to stop quick your boat could slide off the trailer. I've seen it happen before. Beautiful restore!

Watching you redo the boat really brought me back to when I used to pickup a boat at a good deal clean it all up and set it up for my type fishing that’s been a long time ago I’m gonna turn 69 before too long here but you have put a spark in this old guy to start back fishing may even have to start boat shopping lol thanks for sharing , God Bless enjoy that boat it came out very nice you done good see yout

Watching this video really makes me miss my boat. I will offer this advice. Use ethanol free gas and check the drain plug area. I drug mines two hours to a new lake only to find the drain plug assembly has corroded and cracked. I had to load it back up and drag her home. I replaced it with a brass unit from Bass Pro shop. You really have her in prime condition. Congrats.

@Ace.Fisher 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for letting me know, been told that by a couple people already so I’ll definitely use ethanol free gas from now on. And I need to replace the drain plug assembly because the original plastic one on it is slowly leaking, not much maybe half a gallon for the whole day but still annoying that it does that.

Please bring more boat restorations. I really enjoy watching the RU-vid channels that feature these. It motivated me to bring my first one home. A 1979 Glastron. I would also like to see what the total cost was to restore your boat. Maybe an itemized list?

@Ace.Fisher 6 месяцев назад

@mgirard7161 6 месяцев назад

Nice job on the boat. Few pointers, the chains should cross to catch the tongue of the trailer if it were to come off. Also older motors are not ethanol friendly so need to use gas stabilizer that removes it, they make it for marine applications. Enjoy the boat.

@Ace.Fisher 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tips, the chains are not long enough to cross them other wise the catch on the hitch when I make sharp turns, but for the non ethanol gas I did not know but now I will. Thanks

Keep aiming up . Find a little bigger fix up and within 3 or 4 boats you can have your dream boat . Took me 5 boats untill I got the one I wanted pretty much free just alot of shining and cleaning.

Way to go. I just restored my 40 year old skeeter boat. Took me almost 3 months. Gutted and restored to immaculate condition. It was very surprisingly enjoyable. Cost of a new boat was waaaay out of my price point. No regrets. I wish you well my friend. Thanks for sharing with us. 🤝

@alecking6651 6 месяцев назад

Awesome series! I know you didn’t ask lol, but as someone who has spent well over 15k on motor repairs during my time owning boats, I would advise only putting ethanol free gasoline in your boat. And even add a fuel stabilizer just in case. Keep it up man.

This time of year is when I love crappie fishing. Usually early spring is when I stop crappie fishing and fish for bass. You could make good money restoring boats and then flipping them. It would be a lot of work but it probably would be worth the effort. You caught some good crappie and I enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing!

@jessicabenson9017 6 месяцев назад

And during the winter months try some small to medium size live bait minnows Figure out their depth and drop it literally on their nose Set your bobber depth about a foot or 2 tops above the fish you see depth Once you cast let it sit for a few minutes then Slow slow real in and mix in some slight pauses during the reel in Most of the time you don't even have to reel though

@arthurdsoto5751 2 месяца назад

You should always wear your life jacket when the big engine is running & hooked up to the kill switch. Also when you're by yourself fishing, wear a life jacket in case you fall overboard, if you do go over the the side & you're alone you can use the big engine to trim yourself into the boat. Be safe, happy fishing & GOD Bless. 🐟

Those water speed gauges are off they read faster than what you’re actually going. Check with gps see if yours is off. Mine was 3-5 mph off

@Ace.Fisher 6 месяцев назад

Ok I will look at the humminbird next time to see what it’s showing.

@achotrod 6 месяцев назад

@@Ace.Fisher Yeah the GPS is much more accurate . My water gauge says im going about 5mph faster then my Humming birds do. I have the same Helix 7 and same boat too.

@Ace.Fisher 6 месяцев назад

If it’s only off by 5 miles then it definitely goes 45 because after I trimmed it right it went over 50, but I have a 23 pitch prop on it which doesn’t belong on it, what pitch is your prop? I’m thinking to get 19p

@Nathanmr19771 6 месяцев назад

If it planes good and rpm’s are correct at wide open throttle and trimmed right then 23p. Seems high for a 90hp though. Mine had the 75hp and fastest I got with a 19p was 46 on gps. I’ve since repowered with new mercury pro xs 115,hydraulic jack plate and hydraulic steering. Whole new animal

@k.beeler4240 4 месяца назад

I have a 1994 Mariner (Mercury) 90hp that looks just like your outboard. Do yourself a favor and buy the kit to delete the oil/gas mixer pump. If it goes bad and they do... It will destroy your motor. I swear, Mine actually runs better and a little faster after I deleted it. Get you some rod socks too lol.

Fish are slow and sluggish in the winter and require way less food Therefore you won't hardly get them to chase or bite fake lures You pretty much have to run it by their face during those months
