You are a great teacher. Your videos are motivating me to try something I have never done. I know it won't be as easy as you make it look, but you sure make it look fun. Thanks for sharing your gift.
I just gotta say: I'm a lifelong DIYer and I've wanted to revamp the interior of my 16 foot jon boat for years - move the console, add a live well, easier access to spaces while on board, etc. I actually did a boat about almost 20 years ago but added way too much weight. The hold up has been using aluminum. I don't weld and I didn't want to drop money on a mig welder that could do aluminum and I didn't think that rivets would work. I found this channel last night and stayed up most of the night designing the new layout. I will get started on it right after duck season is over. Thanks.
So I've always wanted a jon boat but being always on the move and never being able to settle down in one state makes it harder. Wife said heck with that this year and got me a 15ft fiberglass boat. All the wood inside is nasty and has to come out. Thanks to your videos I got an idea of how to build my boat. Any ideas for floor framework for a 1970s fiberglass boat? Thanks for what y'all do
Just wanted to comment and say thanks for sharing you knowledge and skills on this art form, keep up the great content. Wishing you and yours tall the best!
Have you guys ever thought about building a rod locker without all those tubes and just an open space. I had an 18ft bass boat and hated those tubes. Such a pain in the rear. That was the first thing I removed from the boat. Made putting rods in and out so much easier. Having been in a bunch of Pro's boats as well, I have never seen one that still had rod tubes in it. When I build my tiny boat in the future it will not have rod tubes.
Great boat restoration TBN!! Have you ever thought of using (6061-T6)alum. "T" bar for amazing support on the main rails or are they harder to get and also McMaster-Carr has a wide variety of Piano Hinges that ships anywhere in the north america next day???
What boat would you recommend to look for. I'd like to do a deep v 14 or 16. I'm looking for recommendations I'm planning on a build over our Canadian winter. Keep up the awesome work.
Big fan here, learned a bunch so far. Any clue on how many feet of angled aluminum is used on a typical 14 foot build? I'm roughly guessing 50 but honestly have only a very rough guess
I have a question for you my man. I’ve watched countless of your videos and can’t find one that answers my question. I have a Lund deep v im building. Have the whole deck framed and dry hatches framework (without draining system) as well as the lids for them made. I plan to use wood for the rest of the deck but with the square aluminum hatch, and it being raised up, how do I get my deck to be the same hight with the wood? It’s looking like my deck is going to sit lower than my hatches. Can you help point me in the right direction?
6:20 It's hard to see the work you are doing in the garage because of the glare, camera angel, and moving too fast, pre piano hinge install. I'd like to see how the first 2 pieces are sistered.

How’d it go ?
Yea, how'd it go??
Saving tiny boats. So cool!

Awesome! Always enjoy your workmanship and creativity. Enjoy your amazing ability to make your projects come together. Thanks for teaching us how!
Looks great!
Got a used 16ft aluminum v-hull boat. Your videos are a tremendous source of knowledge and advice for custom builds. Subscribed!
Awesome build
I'm hoping to get a project boat in the next couple months. Your channel has been an encyclopedia of information. I appreciate the content
Great video!
Coming along great. Exited to see how it turns out
About how many feet of aluminum angle do you typically use per boat build (i.e. what is a good starting quantity to order)?
You guys ROCK!! I have a 2004 Alumacraft 1442 NCS Jon Boat. I live in Wisconsin. I now have a winter project!
@@TinyBoatNation You may be hearing from me LOL
Cool boat
if the order is made and sent to Indonesia how much is the price boss
Sweet looking boat my 4yr say I like that I can walk around the deck.

Rod tubes are awesome
What size rivets do you primarily use?
Did u do the video for the chill mod?
what length, width, and brand rivets do you use. And are they waterproof?
what is the size of those pipes and how thick is the material?

U should look into fiberglass fabrication. Might be too heavy for Jon boats

Charles Young 300 ft give or take
Yooo
just to support the channel
That sub floor is interesting
at the 10 min you put an expansive foam in the space of the rods
Why ? and what is it like matter?

You route down a 1/8” groove into the plywood to fit the hatch flush in
We just published a video series about how to do it. They’re in the recent videos if you check my channel.
Where do u get the angle aluminum? Everywhere I look it’s expensive af, so I cut up a ladder lol
How do u build and what do you use to build the bottom of the boat, like the base?
@@TinyBoatNation whats the best type of wood if i was goin to make my frame and everything out of wood
cool
💪👍
Why don’t you ever put a side console with steering and throttle?!
Takes up space! Tiller life!

@@TinyBoatNation Then that means I get to watch them all. Keep on Keeping it on.........
