    These builds are amazing! I am 70 and been a working toolmaker all my life. These vids give me goals to reach for fishing and take my small boats to the next level. Thank you for the inspiration to start to build again so I can go barefoot fishing in a refurbished boat.

  • @iBaloo42
    @iBaloo42 2 года назад +7

    Great project!
    Based on basic physics, the foam that you removed does not have to be replaced to provide extra normal buoyancy to the boat. The foam existed in the original build of the boat to provide lightweight structure to the seats, and maybe some buoyancy if the boat would be sinking (taking water while left uncovered on a dock, normal situation for day boat renting businesses on small lakes, or if getting flipped over).

  • @stompylee
    @stompylee 3 года назад +4

    I’m just catching up on the boats and the hard work here. I don’t know where to start, video edits and the craftsmanship is outstanding. This is what happens when you find something you love and show it to the world. You took it step farther and decided it wasn’t enough that we knew how to fish but started helping people build a cheaper better boat to catch more fish. This man needs an award.

  • @dozer8065
    @dozer8065 3 года назад +7

    i really enjoyed this video, as a marine tech ive learned some things i will use in the future, on a side note i cannot stress how important it is too label wires, service or installs, i even go as far as labeling batteries, main battery, trolling batteries 2-3 ect for 24-36v systems. 9 times out of 10 customers bring it back to load test, replace batteries, chargers ect, and labeling everything makes my job 100 times easier, its hard to remember how you have installed things when you work on 100 boats a month and its later on you have too service it, ALWAYS LABEL!

    This was amazing to watch really good work!! When I was a kid I loved my time 12ft alumacraft and did my own little build nothing comparable to this but it helped me win or place in the top 5 on many local open boat tourneys against guys in full blow bass boats. Some may have laughed at my rig but not when I brought the catch in haha.

  • @SmallieJonze

    Wow! Love this boat! I’m just getting back into fishing after a few years and starting from scratch…no gear, no baits, no boat. I’m stocking up on my gear and the last thing on my list is an affordable boat. I’m glad I stumbled upon this page and this group of people. These videos give me hope that I may someday have a bass-worthy boat!
    Thanks!

      @oldsilverdrew2471 2 года назад +2

      Fish don't care what you have for a boat. Only fishing snobs do. I've caught some monster fish from a $400 kayak. No electrical gadgets, no motors- just me, my rod, a paddle and the kayak. You can get into spots where no boat will go, and very stealthily too.

    I didn't realize until a few minutes in that was a brand new boat. Me and a buddy took a new 16ft with all bench seats and ripped it up and made a sweet little bay boat. It had a floor, front deck, center console with a 30hp, that was one tuff little boat.

    It all looks fantastic !! However i have one observation !!! Running those electrical wires through your switch panel you should use a grommet of some type !! Running a live wire through a hole drilled in the aluminium looks great but with vibrations will eventually cut through the insulation and eventually short out !!!!!! IMHO

    I love your videos. They inspired me to do lots of stuff to my 14ft square bottom polar craft. it's only 33" at the bottom...how do you feel about pontoons for stability? Also, nice voice-over edit at around 20 mins haha. If you want help with voice-over editing let me know. I am an audio engineer.

    Do we have to buy all those tools drills, metal cutter, and wtc when we buy kit from TB Nation? Or the metal frames in kit are already cut and measured, and have holes ready to drill?

      Tools are definitely needed to build and assemble any of these kits. Some are more labor-intensive than others.

    Awesome video and really helpful, how much would it be to do something like that without all the electronics?

    These are amazing videos. Is there a reason why you don’t just shorten all of the wiring that you have an over abundance of?
