A little tip for you when you use your Minn Kota take you main motor out of the water and your electric motor will be more accurate as the main motor works like a keel
Love watching your videos - I'll have you know that I helped with this restoration. Watching all your contortionist moves getting in to all of the nooks and cranny's of the boat; my old back began to ache on your behalf. It is my contribution to the Channel. 👍
Great restro video, very motivating, being I just want to build a nice jon boat!! You have alot of patience. (must say, didn't care for how to calibrated a fancy trolling motor that I'll NEVER be able to afford, especially after watching 1.5 hours of a restoration, but as always great job& video
Wow, she sure shined up nicely! I scrap older glass boats, they aren't as shiny lol. Im glad to see them get resurrected instead of coming to me to be crushed!!
OMG !! What a way to bring back the beauty in that pwc you got . The patience and joy you put into it will be turning heads . I was with SanFran Boat works and down in Tarpon Springs and yes I have been involved with this kind of dirty jobs . You did good . If that RAM has a Cummins and is going to pull this boat to the ramps , can you atleast give it also a nice good and heavy compound buff and bring back that paint . Finnese will pop that colour like this boat . I just subed and will be watching more . Watching from Kleinburg ON... Wish I was back in Tampa Bay or East Bay
For those you complaining....You can buy a brand new 2024 key west 1720 for 30k.....or get a 2004 key west 1720 for free and then spend 15k or less repowering/ fixing it up good as new. The choice is yours 😉
@FirstLast-tw1qf With this particular boat it works. I repowered and restored one from around the same year with a brand new yahmaha 4 stroke for about 12k, great little center console.
This was a great series. I've got this boats' twin. I ended up buying the same tonneau you got. The 90 is being replaced as I type this, with a new 4 stroke. These are great boats.
Nice job! I love the open rear of that style for fishing. I have a similar older Kenner 1902. About to repower to max HP. Yam sho 25” 150 or ProXS 150? The yam is heavier.
As long as the extra 30 lbs or whatever isn't too much for that boat, wouldn't see why it would be for a 19, I'd go with the Yami SHO 150, I like Yami's 150 the best, but the ProXS is nice and reliable too, but my preference in 150 would be the Yami
I’m telling you, try out 30 second cleaner from Home Depot. Or Lowes. Get a small pump sprayer that hold two gallons. You mix it with a gallon of water and then spray the whole boat down. The green and black mold melt right off. Easiest cleaner I’ve ever used.
A die grinder with a carbide but bit will get your Ezy out out. You need to cut the broken bolt out. Or just drill it out and helicoil it. That top hole I would have tapped a tapered thread , to thread sealant and screwed in a grub screw
If the boat has Moly’s Lube anywhere on the boat then there is a good possibility Born Again Boating did some kind of work on the boat. Lol. Love your content man
🤣 and now I'm addicted to smelling gas. 😅 I open the thermostats and gutted them. The water here in Florida (Tampa Bay area) or even anywhere in Florida, doesn't really get so cold that thermostats are really necessary. You did a lot of fine work on that boat. NICE job 👏 👍
If modern engine ecu will try to burn extra gas by changing injection timing (longer and delayed injection) just to heat up the engine block, older engine burn less gas and better when at the right temp. you don't want to run without thermostat, engine will be too cold even in florida with water at 80 +
Anodes can go bad from age as well, they can wear out from the inside, you can weigh them and if they are 50% or 2/3 gone weight wise they need replaced too. These we just wanted to have everything changed to have a specific time to account for when a complete service with everything was done :)
So many questions! What batteries are those? I have a 24v trolling motor. How do I get all my batteries in the CC? Who did you use for the dash panel?? What sprays are you issuing to clean?

I like your videos af rebuilding boats. I'm from europe and does also rebuilt older boats and engines. Was wondering about when you talks about the speed you are running in your boats, that's always in miles, is that sea-miles (Knots) or just normal miles?
Looks like a Yamaha 6Y5 speed gauge which will do kmh/knots/mph. And will do km/mile as trip. Not sure why it doesn't have an option for nautical miles tho. The tach is probably also an 6Y5. But logically for an European sailor "knots" would be preferred "speed" term 😉 From a fellow Dane. 🎉
@@BornAgainBoating Is that common in "private" boating in the US to use mph? I have only met a few new sailors in Denmark referencing km/h and once they get a certificate or any competence regarding boating then everybody is switching to knots in relation to speed.
1:05:49 In my opinion the cleaning and polishing should be done before installing those nice and expansive equipment and accessories, i think you have messed up the finish of that new trailing motor
hold up> if you were getting water into the tank, gas fumes can get out of the tank. huge fire risk to leave it unattended. I don’t think just sealing the deck to prevent water into the gas tank area is an acceptable fix jmho
I have a 98 1720 that needs a lot of clean up imo. It runs great… but a freshening of systems is in order. Do you have a link to the parts / hydraulic seal kits etc you used?
Here's what all we used: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SlfxzGKlJv1StWFJ2XCW5pBBX-hLjd0cZnzNW9GEq04/edit?usp=sharing Here's a cost breakdown as well: ruclips.net/video/uAvCwAaWlW4/видео.html
I wish the cost of materials and suppliers was listed on a separate link on all the videos that people make for a DIYers. Your video was exceptional, but for the loss of that information. My rating would be 9.5 out of a 10 for this video Thanks
Love these restoration videos, but how does one take ownership of a wrecked boat, so easily? FL does not have ‘vessel salvage rights’ laws. (This means you cannot claim ownership of a vessel that has been abandoned.)
Unfortunately it appears you have a fresh water application trolling motor. Not sure, but if I’m correct, this one won’t last long in a saltwater environment. Hope that’s not the case. Great restoration otherwise.
I appreciate you saying that, I just looked at the vent and I'm surprised I didn't notice that when I was looking at it, the fuel tank vent is on a direct 90degree fitting pointing straight down and the hose goes straight down! No loop or anything so any spray or water that gets on or in that vent could get into the tank through the vent :/ wow
Couple things, the fuel pick up, residual from when I first pumped the tank, and also the fuel vent is just straight down to the hose so any water that gets into the vent cap will get into the tank :/
I repair boats for a living. If you ever take a pump out and housing you break the integrity of the gaskets and sealing of the water pump housing. Between the harden impeller and the gaskets you just broke the sealing on you could cause a sealing issue and the bent impeller wont pump at 100% Anytime on any tear down on a gear case always change out the pump housing , gaskets and new impeller . I mean if you are 20 miles out in the ocean you really want to trust your life and engine to a 10 year old plus hard impeller and worn water pump housing and gaskets? I have seen 100s of impellers break off inside the housing and quit pumping all together and you can burn up a power head in about two minutes Not worth rolling the dice on . I do love the video and you restoring the boat. Please people never put in the old impeller and housing and gaskets always have a complete pump kit on hand and change it out and do it right.
Another reason to never buy a new "big company" boat. Looking at all that garbage wiring and craftsmanship, I'd rather take out the neighbors garbage than have that. But for free, I'd fix it all like this guy, then shame them 😂
Using gasoline in this manner is highly dangerous! If the engine backfires it will ignite the spilled gas. Use a sealed bottle with a small tube to direct the gas inside the carb! You want to teach people about boating with this wreckless dangerous methods.
I couldn't keep watching after you said it was ok to run that gas through the engine, said the pump impeller was ok, then used JB weld to fix a thread. Terrible repair.
Good luck finding a saltwater fishing boat that was only used in freshwater. Saltwater isn’t really an issue. It’s the lack of care and cleaning after the saltwater.

Where were you when I was working on the electrical on my wakeboard boat. So happy I found your channel
Nice resto, only other thing I would have done different if it was my boat is use a heli-coil on that broken off bolt. Good job!
An amazing job, looks outstanding!😊
Awesome and outstanding content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

Really enjoyed the vid bro...didnt talk much just got to work and got it done...🙌
Why not use a heli coil for that broken bolt? JB weld?
you doing great, but according the impeller the fins where bent and if you have it out anyway, just replace it
This video reminded me of "that boat guys" videos. You should do a collab with him. Great video!
That’s what I was just thinking! I’m pretty sure TBG cracked the formula on making a boat vid, this one was also a great video.
We've talked about it, just haven't figured out a good way to do one yet :)

Had to explain this to my wife, she's on board with the latter
Are you sure about those #’s more like 30k new 44k fix old boat it’s called “selling the dream”
@FirstLast-tw1qf With this particular boat it works. I repowered and restored one from around the same year with a brand new yahmaha 4 stroke for about 12k, great little center console.
Repowering alone is going to cost 13k minimum
Resale on a 2024 is going to be much better than a 2004.
This was a great series. I've got this boats' twin. I ended up buying the same tonneau you got. The 90 is being replaced as I type this, with a new 4 stroke. These are great boats.
Awesome! Congrats on the new 4-stroke, you fuel bill is going to be thanking you lol
The best boat restoration i have ever seen!!
Thank you!
In that case it must been the only boat "restoration" video you ever seen.

Thermostat housing hole.... had a few of them its pretty common because of cooling water cavitation and sand

Thank you :)
Looken awesome!..a job well done I'd say!

Yeah, agree here. The 30 second stuff is amazing, its mostly bleach. However, its plant safe unlike bleach so it wont kill everything around it.
Those old 90s are indestructible.
Great job Aaron.
Thank you!
Que hermoso trabajo felicitaciones
waits of time...if you want to run the motor , to see if it work , run a jerry can straight to the coupler on the motor
A die grinder with a carbide but bit will get your Ezy out out. You need to cut the broken bolt out. Or just drill it out and helicoil it. That top hole I would have tapped a tapered thread , to thread sealant and screwed in a grub screw
Boat looks beautiful I’m doing a 17’ boat eating on my HIN number before start
This takes a whole different set of skills and patience
If the boat has Moly’s Lube anywhere on the boat then there is a good possibility Born Again Boating did some kind of work on the boat. Lol. Love your content man

Great review.😍
at 7:56, what is the name of the cleaner you were using? Love all your videos, they have been so helpful to help me with my Yamaha 90hp 2 stroke
amzn.to/4adf6Ld
Invest in a pressure washer. Wash that boat clean before you do anything. Also running that bad gas through there was insane.
🤣 and now I'm addicted to smelling gas. 😅
I open the thermostats and gutted them. The water here in Florida (Tampa Bay area) or even anywhere in Florida, doesn't really get so cold that thermostats are really necessary.
You did a lot of fine work on that boat. NICE job 👏 👍
The purpose of your thermostat is to open when your engine is hot to cool it, it has nothing to do with the temperature of the water
If modern engine ecu will try to burn extra gas by changing injection timing (longer and delayed injection) just to heat up the engine block, older engine burn less gas and better when at the right temp. you don't want to run without thermostat, engine will be too cold even in florida with water at 80 +
Awesome video, great channel, you got my sub. Thanks for sharing

Hi, why are you replaceing the anodes, they dont look worn?

I need one of those
Be a cool neighbor to have.

Love these restoration videos, but how does one take ownership of a wrecked boat, so easily? FL does not have ‘vessel salvage rights’ laws. (This means you cannot claim ownership of a vessel that has been abandoned.)
As long as you can get to the owner of the boat, it's not bad, if the title owner is unknown it's a big hassle :( almost not worth doing it
Unfortunately it appears you have a fresh water application trolling motor. Not sure, but if I’m correct, this one won’t last long in a saltwater environment. Hope that’s not the case. Great restoration otherwise.
You're right, but it's a river boat on the West Coast of Florida, really doesn't get much offshore action

Do you work at a dealership as a tech or how do you know so much?

@@BornAgainBoatingawesome, I was wondering how you knew everything, I’m 20 years old and now I work at marine max as a marine mechanic.
They suffer from gas vent leaks because they’re made of plastic and break easily. I fix my problem with a stainless steel clam shell
I appreciate you saying that, I just looked at the vent and I'm surprised I didn't notice that when I was looking at it, the fuel tank vent is on a direct 90degree fitting pointing straight down and the hose goes straight down! No loop or anything so any spray or water that gets on or in that vent could get into the tank through the vent :/ wow
@ 👍 all the 1720 suffered the same problem.
i doubt that engine got flushed much, thats alot of build up
Your meticulous attention to running wires pleases me
So, how was the water getting into the fuel tank?
Condensation. It happens to anything with a tank that's in environments that have large changes in temperature.
Couple things, the fuel pick up, residual from when I first pumped the tank, and also the fuel vent is just straight down to the hose so any water that gets into the vent cap will get into the tank :/
That motor was submerged. It’ll give the new owner problems for the life of it.

And that is why I'd NEVER buy a boat thats been run in salt water....junk!
Kind of a problem if you live on the ocean. Hello from Vancouver island btw
One man's junk is another man's treasure. More for the rest of us then since you're picky as a child.😆
Good luck finding a saltwater fishing boat that was only used in freshwater. Saltwater isn’t really an issue. It’s the lack of care and cleaning after the saltwater.
That will be hard around here for us salmon/crab/prawn fishermen. Just give it a freshwater flush each time when you get home easy-peasey.
