Check out my before and after V hull aluminum boat makeover. Today I share with you how I renovated a 1965 Big Fish Model aluminum V hull boat into what I think is the ultimate bass boat / duck boat conversion! Besides doing a makeover on this aluminum V hull boat with before and after pictures, I also made many modifications including duel trolling motor mounts, carpet, basket fish keeper, trolling motor handle extension and more! Thanks for watching and God bless!

Back when my dad was alive and before small bass rigs were a thing we use to buy or acquire small boats like V hulls and John boats to rig up and use for a season then we would sell them when the next project came along. My father named the company Rusty Hooks Boats after a nickname me and my buddy gave him after looking in his old tackle box. We had some great times and made a few innovations along the way and now I have started modding boats with my son to pass the creativity along. Nice video and never stop being innovative.

@thefrugalsportsman 2 года назад

I think it is so wonderful that you and your dad built such wonderful memories together working together! I too have fond memories of working with my dad that will stay with me the rest of my life! Keep up the great work and may you create lifelong memories with your son the same as was created with you and your father! May God bless you and thanks so much for taking the time to watch and share!

Hey Mr. Dave , I just stumbled across your channel while searching for boat makeovers. I’m currently redoing a 1985 14/36 John boat, motor & trailer. Just wanted you to know I really enjoyed your makeover of the VHull before & after video & gave me some great ideas. Loved everything you did! I also especially love your message at the end of your video. God can take our brokenness & fix us because he Loves us ! Hope you & John are doing well & still enjoying your fishing 🎣 & hunting together! God Bless 🙏 I did subscribe to your channel so I’ll be binge watching some of your other content. Thanks again ! Billy from Louisiana.

@thefrugalsportsman 11 дней назад

Hello Billy! You are so welcome and thank you so much for subscribing and for your encouragement. John and I are still fishing together and hoped to get out this week on the boat, but it didn't pan out. Maybe soon though. I'm so glad that you got some ideas for you own project and that the video was a help to you. I hope it all turns out great for you. Thanks so much for watching. Catch em up and may God bless you richly brother!

I fish small lakes in northern Ontario and have no need for a “big” boat. Been looking ideas for what I can do to my old aluminum instead of buying some super expensive new one and man you have done a hell of a job with this little rig

@thefrugalsportsman 26 дней назад

Thanks so much for those kind words. I really appreciate that. This boat has been awesome and gotten us into many of the smaller lakes where a big boat can't go. It fishes 3 people comfortably and does all I ask of it. I hope the video gave you some ideas to set yourself up with a similar rig of your own. Thanks so much too for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts and may God bless you richly!

@swilloughby41 3 года назад

Excellent modification! Exactly what I want to do! I've got a 12 ft v hull rowboat, 'docked' on a brand new trailer, and currently parked in my garage! Cannot wait to get in on the water. Your presentation, from beginning to end, has been inspirational! Thank you!

@thefrugalsportsman 3 года назад

@jaysnider4820 2 года назад

Take some of the black foam pipe insulation and put it on the edges of the plywood for the floor before you wrap the carpet around it. It protects the aluminum as well as filling in any space where your cuts may be off a little. Also prevents small items such as split shot sinkers from getting under the floor boards.

Hi. Great video. Thanks! I bought a 1956 Wolverine with a 25 hp Evinrude that hasn’t ran in a long time- i received a 1968 6 hp Johnson and my neighbor and i rebuilt it. New points,condensers,coils,plugs,impeller and rebuilt the carb. Finally took it out last week and it was great to see it in the water and have the motor run well also! Still have some stuff to do to it but was nice seeing what we have done already! Wanted to work on the smaller motor first- it was another neighbor who had passed and the wife gave me the motor for helping her with lawn cutting and snowblowing. I bow fish and the lake i have ben to has restrictions. Thanks again for more ideas! Have a good night

@thefrugalsportsman 2 года назад

Ray so glad the video was helpful to you! You seem like a really handy guy and it is so good that you were able to restore some of the old boat and motors and get them back out on the water. What a great feeling of satisfaction to take something that has been setting and putting it to use. Keep up the great work! Thanks too for watching and may God bless you my friend!

You have really done a fantastic job. I love your use of PVC. A lot of people don't realize there's more use for that than plumbing. I keep different sizes of pipe in the garage that I use for different things. I absolutely love what you did with the trolling motor handle. I honestly was thinking about that myself. I know Minn kota sells a extension and some of their motors do come with the extension. The only bad part it's not very long and it does not have a flexible joint. I never even thought about a flexible joint. That was absolutely genius. I also love how you cut the PVC to fit over the handle. I was thinking of something similar but your way is a hundred times better. I made sure to hit the like button and subscribe button I figure that's at least I could do with all the great ideas that you have given me.

I did something similar back in 92. A regular 14ft Flatt bottom john boat. In Florida we have Native plants everywhere. So once primed, i gave it a dark coat of green. Then picked assorted plant leaves. And used used them as stencils. Four colors of green. Amd some grey. I used green out door carpeting. I used old (small ) bucket seats from the junk yard. Just put regular "Gree" plywood on the deck with 2×s as a frame as you did. Definitely reinforced the transom. Was freaking great. All for a few hundred bucks. Amd some love

It looks very nice. If the jb weld fails try marine tex its a 2 part epoxy as well but is designed for hull repair and can even be applied under water. I used it to a radiator and it worked great and i also used it on a fuel tank that was leaking gas when applied, the gas didn't hinder the performance of the patch. The tank out lasted the truck. I look forward to your next build or seeing you land some big bass or crappie. God bless and enjoy

Excellent job! My only long term concern is your leak repairs on the bottom. Maybe it will be ok. But everything else looks like you did an amazing job! Thank you for your inspiring message that God loves us!

@thefrugalsportsman 2 года назад

Thanks so much! The boat does take on some water over a the day on the water, but it's not that much that it has been an issue. If is do have a problem down the road I can give the inside of the boat a coat of Glove-It sealer. The product is supposed to work wonderfully sealing even tiny holes. I just didn't want to put the money into it for now as the product isn't cheap. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share and may God bless you and your week!

You did a great job on the boat and loved the break down detailed video. You have some great ideas and have giving me quite a few ideas that i can use on my first boat/trailer build - restoration. I had a friend of family give me a 1966 Mirrocraft 14ft vhull boat. I have boat and trailer totally taken apart right now. Ive wire wheeled and painted trailer so far. Ive had to take my time and do what i can when i can. Ive had some bad luck with jobs and some other stuff over the past year or so and still having some pretty bad luck. I cant wait to be able to take my son out fishing on the boat though. He loves to fish just as much as i do. Im going to subcribe to your channel and i gonna have to do that basket livewell thing. That is a really great idea. I have one of those baskets but i also have made a few of those baskets myself for fishing. All you gotta do is grab a roll of chicken wire or rabbit cage wire from TSC or home depot and a bag of zip ties and make your own fishing basket the size you want. Thank you for the video and the message at the end!

@thefrugalsportsman 3 года назад

Thanks so much Chris for you gracious words. It means a lot! So glad too that you got something from the video and I hope some of my ideas helped. It sounds like you are on your way on a great project. Don't rush it and enjoy the journey. It will all come together before you know it and I'm sure it will turn out great using some of the creativity you shared. I'm sure your son will love it, but more importantly he will especially love spending time with you and building memories! Thanks so much for subscribing and watching and may God bless you and your family richly!

This thing looks great! Love the customization, Great Work! Enjoyed the video. I’ve got a 59 Lonestar 14ft V bottom I’ve completely redone as well. Love watching the videos for more ideas and mods 😁 when I got mine it looked rough but I had an image in my head of what it could be and I got her there! Great what you said at the end, those are strong words of encouragement. Keep up the great work!!

@thefrugalsportsman 2 года назад

Thanks so much Erick! I really appreciate you gracious and kind words of encouragement. It mean a great deal. Your boat project sound very cool and I'm sure it came out awesome!

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind feedback! It was a fun project and it took a little planning and work, but well worth it. I'm sure your boat will turn out really nice. Just focus on doing one small section every chance you get and it will be done before you know it and look great! Thanks again and God bless!
