Great job. I have a 1989 17' classic Montauk that I bought for 6k. I put a lean post in last Spring and love the way it feels. I'd love to repower and paint.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Rocco Jude thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
My 18 outrage has all the goodies too start with just added Penn downriggers and power steering GPS chart plotter ,and trolling kicker, ready for some blood on the deck.
I did it with a 13 whaler twice. Very similar set ups. I played around with the placement of the console by changing where and how I placed my fuel tank (under the seat, in the back, in the console) and also by using a jackplate that extended my motor out. Very very functional and fun. If you don’t mind putting in some elbow grease, ripping out and changing things, working with fiberglass, the end results are only limited by what you can imagine. The space is a little limited with a 13, that’s why I moved the console towards the front and extending the motor back, and keeping the fuel more aft allowed me to place the console more forward and still balance nicely. The console being more forward allows more space to move about. It got on plane quickly even with a 25hp with two people.
Looking to do a center console on my 15, what height did y’all end up going with and how’d you figure out where to put it for the best balance? Turned out awesome btw!
The console is 36” I believe but slightly short. The balance is a guess almost because weight of driver will vary the balance anyways. Put the console in and go with what feels best to you.
Is that just like a matte black gel coat on the exterior? Im not sure if its the camera angles not showing any gloss on the paint job or if you went with a flat paint option .
They are not backed just pre drilled, filled with 3m 5200 lagged. They are just to hold fenders, would never use for mooring it. Imagine one could open a side underneath the rub rail then slide a plate under the gunwale and send a bolt through that and then seal back up and cover with rail. Good question
I am thinking about doing the same thing with a fuel tank. But I have had no real reference. My understanding was that the vent had to be outboard which gives me caution. Have you any knowledge of wether doing it the way you did it is considered safe other than your personal experience. Any reference or data that you know of. I am probably going to do it anyway. But after doing yacht restoration for over forty years. I actually don't have a answer to this

Currently redo my 17 Boston Whaler, i obtained last month.
Wow!! That thing looks awesome!!
Thanks!
Outstanding work. Boat looks amazing! 👍
Thanks!
Super cool video. Great editing.
Thanks!
I have a 17ft I’m prepping to overhaul. Is it a good idea to have the gas tank below deck or above? 🤔
Nice work sir
Thank you.
Sick build. How much that paint job cost inside and out?
Around $3,600
Currently doing this to my 14' wahoo.👍
My 18 outrage has all the goodies too start with just added Penn downriggers and power steering GPS chart plotter ,and trolling kicker, ready for some blood on the deck.
awesome!
I have a 1963 13’ whaler. Is it too small for a console like this? Thanks and beautiful work
Appreciate your comment and compliment, it was 24” wide which was ok sized on the 15’ it was difficult to walk around for a big guy.

Hi does your buddy build those councils ? $?
What was the price range on redoing the whaler about ?
It was around $12,000

the console is a urethane while the sides and bottom are two part gloss but sprayed which gives it a glossy but textured more durable finish
I think that’s just orange peel
I thought the console was HDPE;
Sick🔥🔥🔥🔥
How did you install those cleats without access to put a backing plate or a thoughbolt ?
They are not backed just pre drilled, filled with 3m 5200 lagged. They are just to hold fenders, would never use for mooring it. Imagine one could open a side underneath the rub rail then slide a plate under the gunwale and send a bolt through that and then seal back up and cover with rail. Good question
what did you use for the the canter console rigging channel. Is it fabricated?
It’s custom fabricated.
What size prop are u running?
Honda 11 x 15
how did you get the console in 1:06
We decided not to use that console and instead got a custom fabricated one
@@fishorstarve6803 i think that console looks cool though and might want to use it
Creety _ we still have it if you want it. I believe we paid $600 and shipping is included.
Sweet
What size gas tank did you install?
It’s a custom made 10 gallon inside the console

What speed are you getting?
34 mph
Thanks I’m rebuilding one just like it soon finished
It's a shame you didn't include any footage of the sea trials ...
There’s another video where we run it out on the lake so check that one out!
how much
The boat sold for $17k
That is way too cheap where I'm from!
