Anyone looking to remove old decals/stickers if nothing else get a heat gun and just apply some heat to it. It softens the vinyl and adhesive making it a little easier to remove.
As I grew up I was always told if I were to paint something and put it in the water to always ways use a marine paint so I wouldn't pollut the water around the boat because an oil based paint will leach oil into the water anyways great build I hope u have great times on the water iv got a 14 foot Johnny boat did some work on it plan to do more thanks for a few tips. Be safe on the water.
When trying to make a template for the front, lay the cardboard on top of the gunnel and trace it, it may be a bit wider but it's the Exact shape. if the front piece of plywood is cut tight there is no need for framing? The boat tapers smaller?
I didn't know you had to put harder in that tractor paint from tsc. Guess that's why mine is really easy to scratch and it took forever to dry. I painted my boat trailer black with that paint and ended painting over it with the rust - oleum truck bed coating paint. You got another subscriber and y'all did great work on the boat and trailer restore \ build. I hope mine turns out that good after I have the money to put it all back together. Im doing my first boat restore \ build on a 1966 Mirror craft 14ft vhull.
Why is almost everyone painting their boats "Battleship or Primer Grey" it's so plain. Cover the trailer with a tarp and flip the boat over to lay on top. Much easier to work on.
I have the same trolling motor on my Bass Tracker and was wondering how I could fix that cumbersome foot pedal! Still unclear on what you used to recess it in the floor. Could you tell me exactly what that pan is?
im not sure if I can post links in comments but I will try at the end of this comment but if you search for aluminum dryer vent box you should get a couple of links with what we used. here's the link to the one we got www.lowes.com/pd/IMPERIAL-11-75-in-x-20-125-in-Aluminum-Dryer-Vent-Box/3203053?user=shopping
Curious why the center section floor wasn’t removed and replaced. It looks like you built a second center section floor and put it on top of the original floor.
First your a very talented guy ..Keeping it simple was smart..you gave it what it needed to catch fish..i just bought my 1st boat yesterday...looks alot like yours in original condition..you have given me all the ideas I needed..if I may ask what would the ballpark $$ spent to re furnish it as you did come to....TY
that paint made it pop nice great job with the boat i like how the hull was framed out to make a nice flat even surface to walk on the captains chair up front was a nice touch as well as the carpet you got yourselves another subscriber
Awesome work guys. The only thing I see is the fenders on the trailer seems a bit small. It might rub on the wheels over bumps? Is this boat a 14 or 16 footer?
you could be right if it got pretty bumpy. We went a lot bigger than the original wheels just for looks but we probably went a little too big for keeping the original fender size.
This is sweet. I have a 17' flat bottom. I want to do this to mine. But I know its a lot of work, time and money. If you don't mind me asking. What did something like this cost to redo?
I've watched several videos in conversations of boats and even though u did an amazing job it's not a job boat? Not one video I've watched gets this right which blows my mind. A Jon boat is a flat bottom boat what you are working on is v hull boat big difference..
I’m looking to do something similar, one worry I had was if I cover the gas tank and store with the battery will it be potential fire hazard without a blower or is that just on inboard motors?
Ive seen a few people ask but I cant find an answer, how long is the boat? I am looking to buy either a 14' or a 16' and it would help if I knew what this boat is. Thanks great video!
You guys did a great job on this boat. I'm a little proud of mine also. 14 ft. aluminum Starcraft, 30 hp. electric start Johnson with hydrofoil fin, 3 padded swivel seats, marine radio, stereo radio/cd player with 4 speakers, bimini top, automatic bilge pump, flat, carpet covered floor, electric trolling motor, fish locator, depth finder, GPS, level floatation in seats, running lights, floor lights, spotlight, oars, just in case, rod holders, cup or bottle holders, top speed 30 miles per hour, (32 with tail wind) Had people remark that my boat is the best equipped 14 ft. on Lake Stclair. Trailer has side guides and non-skid walk out platform. No wet feet for me! LOL! I love this boat.
That's is an incredible restore and rebuild!! I have been wanting to get a boat for several years now, and I really thought I wanted to get one already built and ready to run, but you guys have inspired me to get one and do my own buildout. I will have to give this some serious thought. LOL!! I saw a few other people ask, and you never really said. but how much did it cost? How much for the boat...how much in materials etc., to get a completed build?
I just asked my friend and he said boat plus trailer was 1000$, Johnson motor 1750, trolling motor 500, and probably 400-500 to redo the boat and the trailer
Great build. Good attention to detail. Always concerned when foam is taken out of a boat and not added somewhere else. Family of four died in California a few years back when gale force winds swamped their boat in June Lake, a high altitude trout lake in California. Attributed to foam removal. Boat sunk in middle of lake in 45 degree water.
They should have been off the lake long before any gale force winds. People need to be observant of the weather when in a boat on a lake or river of any size. They were not too smart.
@@mattblake9936Actually it does. A gale can develop out of nowhere in mere minutes. They died because of hypothermia even though they had life jackets. Flotation foam would have made no difference.
Hola amigo excelente proyecto! Tengo un bote similar y lo quiero restaurar parecido al tuyo, que me recomiendas en materiales resistentes a el agua salada...? Saludos desde Costa Rica.. Pura vida! 🇨🇷✌️🎣😎
The original plan was to leave the inside as is but later on in the project we decided to paint the inside and it wasn't at our paint shop anymore so we just decided to brush it
We have a local paint supplier since we paint houses for a living and i just asked them for some automotive paint. So i don't think its some big name brand sorry. The color is "oil slick"
@@jakinwalsh Can you please tell me the name of the paint store you purchased the paint from so I can see if I can locate the exact same paint and color? I looked everywhere online and can not find the color "Oil Slick". Also...tried to locate the source from the name on the can but all I can make out in your video is the name Paint Spot but no location or state for the store.
Looks good but i got one question for you . Why do you have ores in the boat when you don't have any ore locks ? Even if you did there is no way to row it because you took out the bench seat that you sit on to row the boat . And what did you do for your navigation lights ? I did subscribe to your channel . Maybe that was more than one question .😁
Thats a good point i think when my friend bought the boat it just came with ores. Not sure why lol and That bench missing in the middle is actually factory we didn't remove any benches. There aren't any navigation lights on this boat

i was screaming "heat gun!!!" at the screan when you were taking off the stickers
haha yeah sometimes that can end in a gooey mess and since we were going to sand and paint i wasn't worried about little scratches
Exactly lol
You guys did a great job at keeping it simple and doing a great job. Think I’m going to do the exact build in my boat!!

awsome setup but can you please explaing how did you do the part that supports the fromt deck?

But I’m serious if you need another project I got one for ya definitely need help with my boat
@@jasonmartin9985 win win
You didn’t show the supports up under the front deck. Would really like to see what you did for this.
Agreed!
It is awesome that you guys know how to do all that.
A really nice job guys! I personally like the fact it's simplicity and clean lines. Thanks for sharing.
looks beautiful boys. is that a Michigan registration number?
Yup sure is
Great job on the boat and trailer guys! Attention to detail and not rushing anything pays off big time. Enjoy!
Nice build. Lots of good ideas for me if I do one. I think I might be doing one this winter.
🤔So your friends a very good watcher isn't he 😉😆🍻
Amazing work! It’s looks amazing. Pretty much looks factory brand new!
What length shaft trolling motor did you choose? 14' boat? thanks
Great price and well built. Bought it for my twelve foot boat to get around the lake. Very powerful and easy to install.
Heat gun is your friend with stickers.

you don't "have" to put that hardener in it but it definitely helps
Man, clean and simple was right. You guys did a terrific job on that restoration. Every ‘old boat’ out there deserves this
Very well done guys

Great work gentlemen! Quick question, why doesn’t anyone ever use the rim of the boat to get the angle for the template?
You should add a support brace from motor foot to trailer for hauling to take strain off transom
that's a great point thank you!
First your a very talented guy

We were thinking around 300 for the wood, carpet, paint, seat, etc. and another 200 on the trailer.
How fast does that 25 Johnson move that boat?

Perfect little boat great video
This is sweet. I have a 17' flat bottom. I want to do this to mine. But I know its a lot of work, time and money.
If you don't mind me asking. What did something like this cost to redo?
My friend thinks it was around 500 to redo the boat and trailer
🤘
Great job! I have one almost identical I will be starting this week. Trailer first, then the boat!
I've watched several videos in conversations of boats and even though u did an amazing job it's not a job boat? Not one video I've watched gets this right which blows my mind. A Jon boat is a flat bottom boat what you are working on is v hull boat big difference..
I've watched a ton of videos to get some ideas outfitting my boat and i gotta say, you guys did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the kind words!
Use a heat gun when peeling stickers.....way faster!
Lol yup
A rubber wheel woulda took care of those decals real quick. Nice job on the boat though. Hope it's still holding out for you.
Guys great job with the boat I really enjoyed the creativity.
Keep up the good videos.👌🏾
Do you guys provide boat repair services?
I’m looking to do something similar, one worry I had was if I cover the gas tank and store with the battery will it be potential fire hazard without a blower or is that just on inboard motors?
That boat is awesome great job
Great craftsmanship! Best resto I've seen by far! Your boat came out really nice..
Thanks!
Great job guys I wish you were in my area to help me

1989 Lowe 14’
@@jakinwalsh Awesome thanks!!
Amazing! Sizes????
Are concerned about removing the floatation material? Did you inject some foam elsewhere? The boat looks real nice!
Would it not have been easier and better coverage to paint before you did anything else?
definitely would have been easier but the original plan was to not paint the inside :)

hay battery needs to be in a plastic cover box...and....where's the water sump??
Just what Im looking for simple ideas as I have a similar very old boat my main concern is rebuilding the transom

Paint stripping wheel on a grinder. Makes short work of paint removal on aluminum.
Are you located in GR, MI ? If so, do you offer the paint services to spray a boat similar to this ?

@@greggmeyer5836 You have mere minutes in "45 degree water" even if you're clinging to a hull.
@@UguysRnuts still doesn’t go against his comment, they should’ve been off of the water
@@mattblake9936Actually it does. A gale can develop out of nowhere in mere minutes. They died because of hypothermia even though they had life jackets. Flotation foam would have made no difference.
Why don't you apply heat to the stickers while removing them?
we didn't have one
If this was automotive paint, how has it held up? Awesome build!
Just found this. Now I just need to find a decent tinny and do this. I might just put in an anchor well. Awesome job.
What paint did you use on the underside ? The whole build looks great 👍
One thing you forgot, drink holders lol. Great build.
We are definitely going to have to add those! :)
That's one thing I have to add to my boat now that you mention it. I got a 14' Northwood
Looks great man
How much was spent?$
Great job!!!
Hola amigo excelente proyecto!
Tengo un bote similar y lo quiero restaurar parecido al tuyo, que me recomiendas en materiales resistentes a el agua salada...?
Saludos desde Costa Rica..
Pura vida! 🇨🇷✌️🎣😎
usa madera igual pero pintala antes de instalar para que aguante mas.
Wondering how many quarts of paint you guys ended up using?
I think it was about half a gallon on the outside of the boat and about 1 quart on the inside
Boat looks great I'm your 475 subscriber.
Thank for sharing man!new subscriber here
What is the best type of ply wood and sealer to use to replace on seats?
why not just staple the carpet makes for easier replacement
Nice job
Nice job
I may have missed it or have'nt read far enough but why paint with brush when you could of sprayed it like bottom?????
The original plan was to leave the inside as is but later on in the project we decided to paint the inside and it wasn't at our paint shop anymore so we just decided to brush it
23:55 “You ready??” 😎
Good job guys. Very nice attention to details
Nice jobs guys. Will be repainting my 98 alumacraft soon
noob question.. are there any drain underneath? wonder if it will accumulate water under the seats..
yup there's a drain in the back and underneath is all open so it can drain out if any water gets in
Where are you located in Michigan?
What is the brand of paint you used? Very nice job on the outside of it.
We have a local paint supplier since we paint houses for a living and i just asked them for some automotive paint. So i don't think its some big name brand sorry. The color is "oil slick"
@@jakinwalsh Can you please tell me the name of the paint store you purchased the paint from so I can see if I can locate the exact same paint and color?

Why wouldn't you paint the interior before the modifications and carpet?
we made the decision to paint the interior after all that unfortunately
What was that “oil slick “ paint? Where can I get that?
Awesome boat build! Great job
Great video I watched the whole thing
Do you store the boat inside or outside, do you have any problems with the wood rotting?
stored inside
would be sick to tell us what grit you used
180
How many person can load this boat
4
Fire extinguisher???
Under the front deck! :)
Think you could paint the hull if you didn't have a sprayer?
Oh yeah! It’s all about the prep. Just make sure it’s sanded really well.
This video is therapy.

You boys did a great job and thank you for sharing.
What did u do to support the front deck. Did i miss it. Im having the same dilemma
at 40:48 you can see what i did but i didn't explain it well or show it well sorry
Great job fellas
It's nice to see two people working together so nice, good job guys
Thank you!
