We Saved This Boat 

Nice choice of words 😂

Is it possible to purchase one of the refurbished boats.

I bet many of us would like to see a vid of your boat

Aquasports are a known quality hull("hull truth"). Good choice with that I agree. Was looking at a well duded out Grady White a while back for an entry level off shore ride. Not a fan of the over the top new machines on the market currently although the new motors are very nice these days for repower.

It's funny because on another boat they did that on purpose. It's not to everybody's taste but I don't think it's horrible.

John Wren ,noticed the Mini as it's what I do for a living in the UK. Tupmans Minis

I was shocked to see that. I believe its a Mini Innocenti from italy. Really just a rebadged regular Mini.

I oddly think this looks better then just some boring square.

I would like to see you take the covers off the motors that you work on and I have a Mercury motor on my boat and I am having a problem trying to get it started I think it’s a Mercury 190.

What did you use to fill in the gashes?

The gashes are typically filled in with a two-part epoxy you can get it at most marine supply stores. Or you could just use JB Weld. And bottom painting under the bunks is done by jacking the boat up a few inches. You do this by lowering the tongue all the way down. Putting cement or wood blocks under the elevated rear corners of the boat covered by cushions. I use old towels. Then bring the trailer tongue back up to max, and prop up the front sort of like the back. I use a v shaped plywood rest on top of blocks to stabilize the bow. Level the trailer out and you should have a few inches to work that paint in there. Hope it helps. Aquasports rock!

James Shelnutt easy, jack up the front with boat stands under the back, then pull the trailer out and set the front on some blocks

@James Shelnutt go to 11:11 and look at that wooden contraption in the bed of his truck my bet is that he uses that under the middle of the boat and uses a jack under it to lift it up.

I have the same boat. Thats for storage, someone cut the bottom out.

Absolutely!

You read my mind! Why stain all the other woodwork so beautifully and leave that small area unfinished?

spike little hello I moved to Canada ,as a boy I to got my boating and fishing disease while living in Maidenhead on the River Thames in England ,my friend that went to our school took us boating on the Thames and my father and I would go for walks on public foot paths along the river . After we moved to Parkhill Ontario I got a part time job while going to school at a Gm car dealership I learned to do auto body and fibreglass , mechanical repairs , painting , auto and boat detailing . My boss would have me go to Lake Huron with my girl friend to detail his boat a couple times a summer and after I was done he would let me take his

The boss would let me take his boat out for the rest of the day after I finished cleaning it which took 2 -3 hours returning at sun down . Since moving to the Great Lakes I have owned several boats which I restored ,presently working on a 1977 searay SX 220 powered by Omc 351ford 235 hp , I purchased it and tandem trailer for $1800 everything works but needing a good cleanup touch up wood redoing

I also take my ham radio tranciever on over night stays so If fish don’t bite I fire up the tranciever and talk to the world using Lake Erie or Huron as a ground lololololo

Tom Herbert you won’t like me on my 1977 searay my wood was going bad cracking, chunks missing ,as well I sand and oiled but it was still not good so I filled in cracked and missing bits and primed and applied a black satin industrial coating . If in the future I get some time in the winter I may purchase some new wood and hand rub and oil it . But over all my faded but mechanical well taken care of Omc 351 powered searay turned out as good a results as this video and it came with a HD tandem axel trailer with surge brakes and all electronics some tools full subrella top that was badly stained and moss on it ( stitched a few seams and washed top and refinished it )1800 .oo Canadian and only used in fresh water and marina Serviced for 12 years including a full rebuild of complete out drive on the Omc out drive

I second that!

I was horrified when I watch the other video and I heard him say they were going to stain the wood....

lol right??

whos going to spend the time to lick that much wood?! :o

He wouldn't stop talking about the damn hat lol

Where do u sell them?

😂

How about "Stolen goods" like my comment?

I can’t stop hearing that

The videos would be hours long lol

Because it wasn't a restoration

He said what not at least 3 times in each vid

Omg tell me about it! I’d be drunk by the 10 minute mark.

That and "way much better". How about just "much better"?

Thomas Waldorf I agree something that would take a hour would make a big difference

Wouldn't you know? If the water can get into the foam, it can move around. It would tend to run to the back of the boat and you'd have a soft floor and transom as a tell-tale.

It didn't come with that Yamaha. The motor it came with was sold for parts.

I know, but they said they only have $1700 in the boat total, so I assume they also got a sweet deal on the outboard too.

He got the motor for $500 somehow

D B My father picked up a IMP 1969 Aztec V for the same price. It has a 160 HP engine

Miles Rand lot of good deals , some people buy boats but loose interest and leave then outside to rot boats and car are a lot of work so most people today have an interest span of a few min so for us few who are willing to sacrifice time to keep our hobbies alive we can locate a few forgotten boats cars for great deals

nick king Yep! We now have it up and running

hey there, Timbo...since when does a boat TURN into a shag-wagon...by definition ALL BOATS are shag wagons!

Robert Livingston what’s fishing like in superior , I only fished Huron and Lake Erie?

@@nickking1510 cold water and generally smaller fish than lake Michigan I've never fished the other lakes, but there are some monster Lakers that get cought. Just heard about a young lad that pulled in a 47 pounder a couple weeks ago.

Robert Livingston at the Sue they have a population of self sustaining Atlantic salmon that spawn there and can be fished with waders and a fly rod escaped from a university project or salmon farm and I have heard there are big coaster brook trout on the Canadian side and lake trout

I have fished Lake Huron tributaries since the early 70s in Ontario ,I was trying to fish the day and evening the Edmund Fitzgerald sunk at Southampton and later that day at Goderich Ontario the wind made it near impossible i Remember driving home on highway 21 the wind of Lake Huron was so bad it could hardly keep my car on the road .

@@nickking1510 I've honestly only fished out of Marquette, and it's pretty much a lake trout and coho fishery. But browns, Kings, rainbows and splake can all bend a rod.

Thank you. Cane here to exactly mention the same.

German Floridian description

I’m having a stroke reading this.

I imagine they painted the first lot, let it dry and then shifted the boat on the trailer and painted the spots

I was thinking the same thing. I agree with the other comment from Tom below. That's what I would have done. Can't think of another way to do it without a lift.

You can use the trailer to lift the rear of the boat. Lower the tongue all the way down then block up the rear. Then jack the tongue back up and it’ll lift the rear of the boat off the trailer

Yeah I saw

@@ThatBoatGuy Can you drop a link to the LED lights you use.

@@JasonCooper242 they were just cheap amazon led strip lights. Only $13

@@ThatBoatGuy thanks man - keep up the great work bro. Inspiring!

I would've just replaced that entire wooden area, maybe also get it re-treated
