Marty, thank you for continuing to make really great and innovation projects! Years later, I continue to be enthralled by your ingenuity and tenacity. I need to buy some King Starboard for some of my projects.
It is a lot cheaper than building out of aluminum and welding. A lot cheaper. It's incredibly easy to work with. You don't need any special tools. It's worth every penny when fabricating one-off stuff for boats.
Hi from the UK Marty! Thanks for the video. I think the first video of yours that got me subscribed was the outboard transom for the Kayak, and I have been curious about this Starboard stuff ever since. Nice to know more about it - I just wish this and some of the other things you have used/mentioned were available here in the UK. Tight lines mate!
"Starboard" is High Density Poly Ethylene sheets (HDPE) the stuff your milk jugs are made of. I'm pretty sure there's some around in your country under a different name...
Looks like great stuff. Would love to get my hands on some. Just a pity it's so expensive. $400 for a 6mm thick sheet compared to $75 for the same thickness sheet of marine plywood here in New Zealand.
Hi i m from pakistan working here in saudi arabia and i love fishing since 6 or 7 months and got more knowledge about fishing through different videos and anglers wow.
Man, I'm looking at renovating my 30 yr old boat, found your vids, was wondering what that stuff is, so I can use it in place of the wood for seats and other vinyl wrapped surfaces... even with the price of lumber now, holy smokes this stuff is pricey... You'd think China would have a copy for 30 bucks a sheet at harbor freight by now...
Hey Marty, ever thought about doing catch and cook/overnighters on some of the little beaches around you?? Would love to see some of the neat little areas you've found!
Stuff looks awesome. You did a great job on creating a lot of cool custom projects. It's got to be some of the most expensive plastic on the market? I was all in until I priced a piece for my needs 11"x22" $53.00 (not even including shipping)! Whoa, looks like I'm far too poor for a piece of good ol' Starboard.
Star Board is amazin stuff...A friend of mine works with it as well as plexi glass. They make cutting boards for restaurants, bait lids, and they even have a marine grade plexi glass and replace old windshields in boats....They have contracts with the city of Hillsborough in Tampa for all of their marine fleet police boats.
Like your Rockwell jaw horse! I don't have a work bench and that thing saves me. Folds also. I've got the knockoff. Cheers! Starboard rocks, wish it were less $.
You did not mention or talk much about whether it can be glued? I have been using expanded PVC purchased at Home Depot and it glues really well with PVC glue. Thanks for the great video. You have great ideas!
You make some the best DIY videos ever here on youtube. I love the fishing side as well and hope to see a lot more videos soon. Are you planning a new boating trip in the big boat soon?
Zoffinger… how does the weight of starboard compare to that of plywood or high-density MDF? Looking to build the next generation of a drum riser (a platform for my drums that is constantly set up and torn down and stored in the band’s equipment trailer).
Home depot sells this in 3'x5' sheets.. Its a little pricey but for something that will never rot its well worth the price. I used to when i replaced the decks in my bass boat. Easy to work with and no special tools needed.
Marty, I love your videos! However you have never paid for Starboard before. If a boat manufacturer buys in bulk its not bad. But run down and buy a small sheet and it cost 80 times more than wood. I would make all kinds of stuff if I got it from your source!
where are you located? we are in Lakeland,FL and travel with a stealth small 6x12 cargo RV conversion. sure there is a campground nearby. we'd love to come visit and rent a adventure for the day from you!!!!!!! ....thanks!
You’re just one of those guys who can naturally find exactly where two screws holes should go, how far apart, and how to make them even with eyeballing or a simple tape measure. Envious. I can barely get this stuff right with angles and rules 😂.
Hey Marty, Love the content. I have a question? What type of material do you use to fill in holes on kayaks or boats? Holes in Plastic Material. This would be screw holes or larger holes in excess of 1 inch? I didn't know if there was some sort of epoxy that works well with plastic?
It looks like HDPE Is it a 2 on the recycling symbol? I went to the web site it is LDPE just like HDPE but melts at a lower temp! Very cool all you need is a toaster oven to melt HDPE so you can melt this even easier! Cool
Hi Marty, I have a fiber boat that don’t have enough storage compartment(never enough) I want to install some ice cooler incrusted as storage at the front cause that area is a huge large storage but I need individuals storages .......any advice or suggestion you can give me please
Hi mate can you recommend an adhesive that will stick to this , I’ve used sika 291 but am not really confident on the joint unless it’s screwed as well
I’m trying to find a local place where I can purchase a 32x20 in white with rounded edges so they are not so sharp. Going to install it inside the center console to install electronics on it (amps, battery tenders etc.) can’t find a shop near miami.
Now I want to get some to make new thwarts for my canoe. I don't need to but I want to lol. Might have to wait on it though since it's around $85 for the 2 pieces I'd need.
You have a lot of stuff regarding fishing that is your craze you love fishing a lot. I also love fishing a lot ang my friends are sick of me especially fishing at night beach or any edge of see.
I was very interested until I saw the price of the material. You should tell us what the retail price of that piece of starboard that was given to you. I would use it much more if it didn't swell around wood screws placed into it, and if it were cheaper. Thanks for the great video.
I just resurfaced the hallway wall with a Thin Layer of Plastic Sheeting - - - My StepMom's PowerChair goes right through Sheetrock but barely gouges this stuff - $aving me a fortune in time & materials... GooD Stuff Marty, LJR-III Ormond Beach
This material appears to be HDPE plastic- Large sheets are available at Home Depo, and smaller sheets are cutting boards from Walmart-- Have only seen white...
Marty has not done much of anything with the boat and that is why he has not done a video on it. He is too busy building other stuff and dealing with the business end of things!
Got my Bob Ross fix, I'm good and relaxed now. Thanks Marty! Jim.
You are truly the everyman. A normal humble guy with unique talents and a love for fishing and beer. Your following is well deserved.
Marty, thank you for continuing to make really great and innovation projects! Years later, I continue to be enthralled by your ingenuity and tenacity. I need to buy some King Starboard for some of my projects.
I grew up on boats, always using starboard for the mods... it was always so super expensive but you can do anything with it!
Cool projects, but that stuff is crazy expensive for most of us!
It is a lot cheaper than building out of aluminum and welding. A lot cheaper. It's incredibly easy to work with. You don't need any special tools. It's worth every penny when fabricating one-off stuff for boats.
This is my favorite channel, I've been a subscriber ever since your video rainy day fishing and fishing with greenbacks.

Thanks for the vid..great info..much love from NC.

Nice stuff. Azek makes some pvc sheets that I have used for similar projects. Thanks for sharing
Great stuff. Very informative. I look forward to seeing new videos.

wow, 3 videos in 1 week!! Is this the new norm? I hope so
Love the stuff, I have replaced all the hatches and the swim platform on my boat with the anti-skid

thanks man, been looking at something to cut and replace my nasty old wood hatches with carpet on them. this is gonna be perfect for my boat project

Awesome man! You are definitely the O.G. of DIY and so creative as well. Could easily sell many ideas from your designs.
Love That Fillet Table Buddy!!
A true SuperStar having fun with starboard.
Great Product. Perfect for Marine Applications, PS, enjoy your channel‼️👍🛥🐠🚣🏼♀️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Zoffinger… how does the weight of starboard compare to that of plywood or high-density MDF? Looking to build the next generation of a drum riser (a platform for my drums that is constantly set up and torn down and stored in the band’s equipment trailer).
Marty: Master of Starboard!
Nice shelves and hooks , very very expensive but nice.
This is what made Marty famous his creativity and such a nice location
As always a great vid. I seen you were wearing your Zoffinger shirt in the vid. I would like to say thanks again for the one I got from you at Icast.
I used starboard back in the 90's, been around a long time.
Is it strong enough to replace a wood transom on a 14 foot boat with a 9.9 outboard... or am I better using marine grade plywood and resin coating it?
Enjoy watching your videos😎👍
Great video. Good info. Thanks a bunch!!!
Question?
Do you have a video on the transom support system you built for the pelican bass raider ?
What is the thickness of the starboard on the roundabout hatches? I'm trying to determine what to use for my hatches. Thanks, love your vids!
that’s a nice product and those lures 👍👍!
Home depot sells this in 3'x5' sheets.. Its a little pricey but for something that will never rot its well worth the price. I used to when i replaced the decks in my bass boat. Easy to work with and no special tools needed.
Cool channel Marty, I enjoy watching your videos
Do you have any tips on glueing it together? Or gluing starboard to HDPE kayaks or pedal boards?
Marty, I love your videos! However you have never paid for Starboard before. If a boat manufacturer buys in bulk its not bad. But run down and buy a small sheet and it cost 80 times more than wood. I would make all kinds of stuff if I got it from your source!
awesome place you have there!
Cool video. I live in Minnesota. Where can I find this, you know, a vendor for the general public?
where are you located? we are in Lakeland,FL and travel with a stealth small 6x12 cargo RV conversion. sure there is a campground nearby. we'd love to come visit and rent a adventure for the day from you!!!!!!! ....thanks!

You're still a freaking genius. I want to be you when I grow up. LOL
Love your vids , keep up the good work!
It looks like HDPE Is it a 2 on the recycling symbol? I went to the web site it is LDPE just like HDPE but melts at a lower temp! Very cool all you need is a toaster oven to melt HDPE so you can melt this even easier! Cool
Hi Marty- please let us know how to patch holes in polyethylene as you did when motorizing your kayak with a 5 hp motor. Thanks in advance!
Marty i have seen you use large thick blocks of Starboard, where can I get Starboard that is 3-5 inches thick?
New challenge..
Make an entire boat out of starboard and foam!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey just can't across your video, I'm trying to see if starboard is lighter than the PVC board.
where do you buy starboard cost-effectively? stuff isn't cheap from a couple places online.
Marty, have you glued starboard together or to wood? If so, what glue did you use?
Look at Permabond TA4610. It bonds HDPE to HDPE and HDPE to metal
Super cool stuff.
Can you use it in place of wood to replace a floor in a open bow boat?
And can you use its replace the wood between a inboard motor the outdrive?
Marty I live like 10 minutes from bull frog creek. Have you ever fished at willams park?
I would love to get some of that starboard for projects, but it's not readily available around here... :-(
That is some great stuff, although a little expensive, will last forever...
Great stuff Marty
Hi Marty, I have a fiber boat that don’t have enough storage compartment(never enough) I want to install some ice cooler incrusted as storage at the front cause that area is a huge large storage but I need individuals storages .......any advice or suggestion you can give me please
Hi mate can you recommend an adhesive that will stick to this , I’ve used sika 291 but am not really confident on the joint unless it’s screwed as well
Pls build a universal transom for all kayaks. This will be a game changer for anglers.
Excellent video as always, but why are your shorts all slashed up (11:00)?
You seem like an awesome dude. I wish you lived in my neighborhood.
I’m trying to find a local place where I can purchase a 32x20 in white with rounded edges so they are not so sharp. Going to install it inside the center console to install electronics on it (amps, battery tenders etc.) can’t find a shop near miami.

Dang even the spiders Love it =) cool stuff man~
You have a lot of stuff regarding fishing that is your craze you love fishing a lot. I also love fishing a lot ang my friends are sick of me especially fishing at night beach or any edge of see.
Marty, Todd is going to filet you and toss you over messing with all that starboard.😂😂😂
I love what you do
your videos are always fun
Have you consider making trolling mounts and etc. I know people would buy from you. I definitely would be one of your top customers.
All of those small projects are ingenious! Keep them coming!
Another great video
Looking forward to this

nice board
are the hatches in the roundabout boats 3/8" or 1/2" thick? I've gotta replace the hatch
boards in my sailboat'
Your work looks great. How do you get smooth edges with the starboard? No matter what I do, I can't seem to get decent edges.
Sos grossooo cuantas ideas....soy el chaki de BsAs ARGENTINA ABRASO FUERTE LOKOOO
Dude this is awesome!!!!!!!
Love your videos you have taught me a lot.as a beginner to the sport I thank you!! I'm in s.c. how can I get some of those cool zoffinger decals?
Im in S.C. too. Lets meet up and go to Tampa and meet this guy and maybe we could get a t shirt and some stickers.
@@brenthawkins204 that would be cool.! I'm in the Lake Hartwell area of s.c. what part of our beautiful state are you in?
@@jaybyrdsshenanigans I'm in Aiken S.C. near Lake Thurmond
@@brenthawkins204 that's not too far away we should go fishing. If you're like me time is Tite!! I am in HVAC in the summer I stay pretty busy.
This material appears to be HDPE plastic- Large sheets are available at Home Depo, and smaller sheets are cutting boards from Walmart-- Have only seen white...
What cutting tool works best on starboard
I just saw 4 empty cans of budlight in your bin.. lol
Nice seems fun
Hey Marty, new project or challenge..You should make a kayak from starboard. I mean you've made everything else.
Do you think I could make a console for my John boat out of starboard?
Hey Marty Iv was just in Destin this past week and I was wondering where your kayak rental place was
Can you do an update video of your big boat
Marty has not done much of anything with the boat and that is why he has not done a video on it. He is too busy building other stuff and dealing with the business end of things!
Marty I looked at the website, couldn't find pricing do you have an idea what a 4 by 8 buy 3/8 sheet wood cost roughly ?
Im going to look into star board.ty
Did you make a vid on the bait tank
