Beautiful resto ! I like this idea for sure.

Amazing job! I’m debating doing the same to my boat now I have an excellent hull. Grady White 257 advance 2004 Thing is, I also want to re-power which will be quite an expense I’m debating doing all the paint and rubber rail And then re-powering the boat Updating the cushions and Enclosure Anyway, great job on your vessel amazing!

IMO Should’ve been more frugal to make it sensible

wow awesome boat restoration! plus its was you fathers which that alone make it even more valuable. I wish I had the money to do something like this so I can enjoy it with my kids. looking into buy an older mako and do the work my self... Cant say it enough... great boat man!!

Smae I will restore an auction boat or build my own

I own an 86 23-6 Mako and would never let it go for the new expensive junk they sell today.

That is a great value! I would love to have the shop he's talking about do my scout.

You have a boat that is better than the original. Congrats. Awesome, Awesome job. Beautiful

Ño! Thats nice!

Love the build. At the end of the day, if you’re happy with your restored boat, that’s all that matters. Congrats.

Yeah I looked at new boats. The prices were shockung. I pulled my 97 Key West into the barn. Two months later I pulled it out better than new. Every hose, fitting, pump and wire in the boat was new and done right. I even added custom fiberglass fish boxes and seating improvements. I'm very happy with my decision and i still have no box payment.

Great job! I like the modifications that you made! Sweet boat!

Hey 10 grand for a boat, another 10 for a motor and 30 in fiber glass and the like and for 60k you get a lot of boat.

The biggest selling point is to have it set how you like it and i have to say this im not hating just a counter point if i was to start with buying a hull that alone is 8-10k than lets say re engine with a 2020 etech 10-14k depending on power another 70 to set it up exactly like this you’re into the 80-100k range and alot of people i know i would have to finance that money you’re in the same range of what i spent on a brand new 2024 Yamaha 255 fsh where really the only thing that it doesn’t have that i wish it did is that upper helm other than that its all good but the boat is lookin good just a counter point and most people dont even know Yamaha makes center consoles

Would have been helpful to post what the traction rating was for the tires you had on that truck. The traction rating is stamped in the tire sidewall, and also provided in the specs from the tire manufacturer. Probably too late now?

beautiful boat

Restoring a boat is great but I have helped a couple mof my friends restore a couple of saltwater fishing boats and it is "HARD & EXPENSIVE" work and you need to know what you are doing!

Love that boat! Turned out really cool. Interesting to me…you didnt install trim tabs. Do you sometimes wish you had them?

i like your AS way way better then a new AS any day I'm choseing this boat if i had a choice

anderson barket i think

Beautiful, gives me hope for building my dream Boat. I don’t wanna spend $150-$200,000 on a new boat.

Depends where you live. Sometimes rebuilding an older boat can cost double the price of a new boat. Around here it costs $1000 for an oil change so rebuilding an older boat is out of the question

Beautiful

Sorry you lost the truck the good thing is it did not get run you over when you lost foot grip and went down. That slip looks like it was totaly cleaned after the fact I'm sure the marina had insurance issues after this happened. Insurance companies dont like paying and Im sure they went after the marina to coop the losses.

Looking at the video I am trying to figure out how you get to the second station, I did not see a ladder.

I noticed that your deck hatches don't have gaskets on them does any water on the deck end up in the bilge eliminating the self bailing deck

I appreciate this video I live in pines. I recently purchased my father in laws 31 scarab. I don’t know shit about boating and been getting jacked by mechanics lol

My boat has the bilge wired where it will come on without then batteries being on. I though almost all boats do the to prevent that from happening.

I believe that is a fake bill dance but yup I’m familiar with that guy

Not only do you have an awesome boat, the sentimental value of it being a boat that belonged to your father is incalculable. Fantastic job.

Awesome video! Love seeing these!

You could have gotten a new one for this price

Man great looking boat!

That cushion work at twice the cost would still be a bargain.

I am currently restoring a 1997 19' CC Trophy. I have the wiring complete for all her electronics. I put new bilge pumps in new fish finder and interior lighting. New cooler, cooler cushion and deck mounts in front the CC. I rebuilt the controls and bought new cover and handle for it. I have mr steering lubricated and it now works great. The hull and interior are in great shape and I've actually been below the deck inside the hull throught the hatch under the CC. All stringers are still solid .when I wash her she shines up like a new boat. My next step is to grind out some spider cracks and some stress cracks on the side of the top of rail and fill and re gel coat. After that it's just painting the deck buffing the hull and ordering some cushions for the seats and front bow. This boat will mostly be used in large lakes in Florida. Occasionally going to the intercoastal and in shore fishing shrimping and partying 😂. After being caught in a Florida thunderstorm in a 19' Lund Tyee and watching the bilge struggle to keep up with the ridiculous amount of water coming in I bought a self bailing deck and put two 11000 gallon bilge in it and I'm adding a third below the CC in the center of the hull. Lake George can get nasty fast with 6' waves and brutal winds in a thunderstorm. You get that chop it's not like the ocean the waves. It becomes short between intervals and intense like 3 waves at a time. I've seen the temperature drop from 92 degrees to 72 in less than 30 minutes. When you're body is use to 92 and the temperature drops 20 degrees you freeze so bad you can hardly function 😂. We bring rain gear and jackets now on perfectly clear hot days. Here in Florida everything can change on the water in a hurry. Going down means swimming with the alligators.

I might have missed it but I didn’t see any bait in the net to “fill the live well”???

Can’t wait to see it with the mods you want to do

Ahh yes that’s my favorite fish to eat. Less dense than tuna, much firmer than a grouper or snapper. Great for the grill, but bad for the back!! Great fish!

Amberjack, helluva fish to catch

Is that Dentex ?

Thats a fish

Looks great bro! I’m in the Miami area looking to restore a 98 proline I got for 1k so it just makes sense to restore. This video gave me some motivation!

I am planning to do the same , Restore my older boat the way I want her instead of buying another one and save me some money, Thanks you have make me made up my mind.

I have the Chevy version of this truck. New 2024. It was a mess and needed a software update due to limp mode issues X2. Was resolved with a software update (hopefully). That interior layout not good in that one to what I have. Love the truck and abandoned the F250 in the process (recalls were many). This is a much better truck even with the initial issues so far. Ford is crap. UAW is crap! These unions need to be absolved in the auto industry. Unions are democrat crap that creates crap outcomes.....at higher cost to all of us!!!!!!!

So that was me in the whaler behind you I saw ur truck starting to roll back and I jumped on the throttle. I still feel bad how your truck went in man it really sucks some people say I overreacted by jumping on the gas hard I just didn’t want my boat to get smashed up under the dock. I totally feel for you dude and it sucks but it could’ve been worse thank God nobody got hurt

I hate the intro and I won’t be subscribing, specifically because of that.

one improvement should do power coat the metal polish so it will last long.

Beautiful work!

why can't anyone make a truck now that looks like a truck ?

That is fantastic and I don’t think you’re crazy at all. My grandfather had the 22 aquasport as well. She will fish a lot bigger with that bracket.
