A friend and I got him to build 2 identical boats after we priced material, a shop to press brake the parts, and welding it ourselves it only cost us approx $250 ea more for him to build them and they were perfect plus he added extras we did not plan to do. He is a real and great person that you do not find often.
Must be wonderful to have such an amazing craftsman like Mike.
I always liked Mr. Kliebert on the show...even T-Mike. I wondered why we didn't see more of them. When I watched the episode he did this on, I was an instant fan.
They don’t like the camera much
I work with guys who know him real well they say he's a hell of a boat builder and could be a millionaire but he builds boats to pay his bills I hear he's not real motivated to make a million just lives a happy life style and thats it.
He’s just living a regular man just doing what he needs to do
Lmao
It’s always good to learn something that can help you in the long run mike took welding mechanics and blueprints in school look at him now
what most people seem to forget is it was a custom made boat to the customers specs, not only that he use a much heavier aluminum than you would get at the local boat shop.. Most commercially made boats are just like cars they are built with a budget in mind for the average person/general public, so to get a high quality custom made boat you must pony up a little extra money, you want quality you gotta pay. REMEMBER you get what you pay for.
should do a whole show on this bloke and building a boat
I was just telling my wife that the other day, I'd watch it
Wow that was impressive, truly impressive
watching this i learn and respect these guys, people tend to stereotype thinking
they are slow. i am from Brooklyn NY where theres a store on every corner,
these people are proud of what they know and do, they live off the land and survive,
i wish i knew half what they know,,
That's a pretty awesome skill, being able to build it by himself in just one week is mind blowing.
i wish i knew how to weld aluminum. very valuable skill to have.
For an all welded aluminum boat, $4000 is not bad. You can't compare them to the cheaper riveted hulls.
Nowadays the aluminum alone costs more than $4000!
Mike does good and makes them at a good price
I know mike very well he builds custom made boats in his own shop on his own property is live in Missouri and do a lot of fishing he'll be building my next boat by the way he also does alligator hunts I've been gator hunting with him had a great time mike and his wonderful wife miss melody are some of the most honest and friendly people I've ever met they make you feel right at home and the food is better than anywhere mike is a great cook and don't minder showing you how to do it thanks Mike and melody I'll see you soon Brett Ferguson
My uncle built them for years. It is a pretty awesome skill to have. Hell, just welding aluminum is a chore in itself. I suppose these people that claim the price is too high, have obviously never shopped for a all weld boat. Nor have they spent much time in the Louisiana water ways. There will be times your boat will encouter a log or stump. It is unavoidable, and when they do, you will be better off with an all welded one than a cheap riveted hull jon boat, trust me.
Man's got a work ethic. Something many American's are missing these days.
Humble guy 👍
Great to see real skills. Good luck !
He was my favorite on the show. Next was Troy. Wish I could meet the dude
I love this video this dude is the best boat builder in the swamp love this guy
Mind blowing ... Amazing work Mike !!!!
That's 3/16" 5086 sheet. $1200 for one 4'x10' piece..
Still, no store-bought boat is built that HD.
Beautiful work and design !
Mike and I would get along real well!! seeing as how I am a jack of all trades!!!!
WOW He has got talent. not many people can build a boat Great job. Just wish I could afford one of his boats
i love this one
Nice looking float
That poor country boy probably has more money than half the county and he earned every bit of it!
This Man can cook too bro!!
guy is a fucking legend, aussies would love this show.
He built a cousin of mine a boat and that thing is a beast!
And Mike hunted gators. This guy is The Swamp People G.O.A.T !
Mike doesn't mess around
Daymm i need a boat like that
I wish I could get the blueprint for this boat
Why is he out of the Swamp People Show? He is their best character, lives a really interesting life. He sounds like he is singing when he speaks.
He has a gator farm that's a lot of work
Big Mike is a Jack of all traits
I would kill to have mikes workshop lol
A lil paint and a motor is what it needs ... Classic
Im just a ol country boy try to make a living,....AMEN

Looks like a Gator Trax boat, I think it is.
i need to know the mechanism for the motors, i just made a wooden bat an want to use the same mechanism for a gas motor as they do, anyone know a site or video i can find that out on???

Hello,good day. Was wondering if I can get a gator head shipped to me too Las Vegas, Nevada?
Thank you kindly.
I meet Bruce at Walmart ponchatoula Louisiana

Mike went blind welding without the hood on
We call that “poor mouthing” where I’m from. I have no doubt that man is a multi millionaire!
MY HAT FOR YOU GATOR BOY !
Hope the IRS aren't watching this lol.
@RONANGDD wrong his beard is the mask :P
Give a man a angle grinder and a mig he’ll built the world
Mike I really liked what you did but what I'm looking for as a 30 ft airboat you know anything about that
OMG it's the Engineers cousin!
nice v neck haha
Mike is a good man too.. He is my brother in law...
ILOVE THE SOUTH.OR THE COUNTRY SIDE
I wanna build a boat I'm 19 but hey I already sold 3 pits and doing 2 more with the $$$ I've gotten I rebut more tool SAME Time and comes out CLEANER
Make sure you know what you are doing. I've been told that welding aluminum is not that easy. We got our aluminum boats built by a guy near Fulton, Illinois. Practically indestructible.
Okay, he built a 15' all welded aluminum boat with live wells. Find me one of those for $700. You would be better off hunting for a unicorn.
Man he might... I know he gets a lot of request now to go hunting...my nephew t mike kliebert is on facebook...
what kind of a welder is that
orlos The Druid ohh he has the regulatory on the torch gun but why like the TIG I guess but you can regulate it
Spoolgun
@Bluevetteboy2012 That looks a lot like an insult to us. Yes, I'm from Louisiana and everybody I talk to, no matter where they're from, can understand me as long as they know English. Or Cajun French, because I speak a little of that too. I'm a Cajun. Show some respect. And by the way, Louisiana has only one "n".

This guy is sanding aluminum without a mask , WOW.
If he made one a week he’d make 208,000 a year
no, you have costs of materials, tools, machines, welding supplies, electricity... He might have made 50k a year back then.
Is Mike a brother to Bruce??
brother in law
I wanna build a boat I'm 19 but hey I already sold 3 pits and doing 2 more with the $$$ I've gotten I Bought more tools & equitment SAME Time and comes out CLEANER
@donasu67 cool guy, maybe if he had more publicity he would be able to get more buisnesseses
@Bluevetteboy2012 well, go away
I'd like someone to build me a 1/3rd scale LCM-8, about 25 long by about as wide as can be hauled without special permits. Heavy gauge aluminum, doesn't have to look fancy. Contact me, I'm serious about this project
missinglink516 if your still looking shoot me a message I’m not too familiar how to get your contact info but I build boats here in Virginia
im just a poor country boy trying to make a living
Das no cajun accent wat yall mean cajun locals?
Not for much longer if you don't wear a mask.
4000 making and selling boats no wonder people sell drugs
Mike kicks ass
over $4000 for a boat with no engine or nothing boy he didnt half rob them poor swamp turds !!!
gordon james
No one is forcing you to buy from him...
Sounds like he has a top reputation...
Hey dingleberry,
Have you priced a sheet of .190" 5086 Aluminum?
$1200 a 4 x 10 sheet..
Welders make $65/hour easy, so can it !
I hope he pays taxes on that money ...
Where is he now?
