I am in the market for a 12-16 foot aluminum boat for fishing and want to do the same types of mods to make it useful. Really nice simple, inexpensive yet very effective mods. Nice work. Very practical.
that platform is AWESOME! You just doubled your space with that thing!!! My ADHD spotted that dog in the background! Adorable!!!! Having a good ole time rolling around! I think you can build anything! You have tricked out this boat! I LOVE seeing how you organize everything! 17mph!!! Holy cow that is awesome! I love Marie!!!! Speed is everything!!! ! Seeing Marie sitting up there fishing brought back great memories of my papaw on his bass boat! And the bloopers!!!! They are my FAVORITE!!!!
Thanks for watching. Harley likes to do pilates! She is usually in the videos at some point. Marie has an adventure streak in her and she has spent a lot of time on the boats.
@@BikesBoatsBivouacs okay I'm debating whether or not to actually screw down my new deck into the seats in the front for now I can just remove it or even slide it to the back or middle section I bought the 3 prong rod holders on Amazon I will put those where you put them on the Bayshark 2 , I named my boat " the Eden " after one of my girlfriends haha also stole your milk crate idea for my anchor and ropes for the front
I was watching you showing the deck you built, but got sidetracked and watched Harley Caroline when she started rolling on the grass! Haha. By the way, nice boat conversion, Scott! Haha.
Nice the way that you remodeled the boat, you got it set up pretty good man, are you in construction, LoL I ask because of the ladder rack on your truck, enjoyed the video brother 💯
Great video. I was brought here by seeing a Polar Kraft for sell in my area. Your work was right inline with what I want and need. What do you think about putting a Long tail 13 hp on a boat similar like yours. Long tail would be 100 inches long? I am not expirenced with boat motors but feel comfortable with lawn mower style motors. Would an 6, 8 or 13 HP be enough for a 17 foot PK? I used it for River fishing and taking family out to see nature. Appreciate the video and consideration of us Retired Marines that live on fixed incomes. Lots of time on my hands and seeking my next " PaPa" project. You made my day!!!!!! Semper Fi
Thank you for your service. I would go with the higher horsepower. I never used that type of motor so I am unsure of the performance. If you want to see USMCR retired Colonel Bob (my dad) check out my Ket west playlist. He is featured in a number of videos. A Fly Rod in his hand is a great video with a great song. Thanks for watching
Not bad need hummingbird fish finder. I would get a trolling motor with foot control for front. We did pretty much same thing with v hull Aluminum boat.

It is really working out well. Thanks for watching.
I own a 1460v as well and you have inspired me to convert her
It was that difficult to complete and makes a big difference when fishing. Thanks for watching.

Love the new mods. I recently purchased a Field and Stream bass boat. I'm glad to see this video. It gave me some ideas for my boat.
Thanks for watching. Looking forward to some Ohio fishing videos!
@@BikesBoatsBivouacs I'm working on one this weekend. We plan to camp until the snow falls. Lol...
That's a awesome boat Scott, its great that Marie joins in on your outdoor activities looks like you guys had a great time.
She has fun out there! Thanks for watching Rick.
Great job on the boat Scott looks awesome.
Thanks Ron, I had to make changes to it since I sold the Mako.
Love the Marie-isms! Speed is everything. And, I feel safe in the boat with you. Those are great, Marie!
She adds a lot of color to the videos! Thanks for watching.
Where did you get the eye hooks
I picked them up at the local ACE hardware store. Thanks for watching.

@@99fxgtjc I was nervous about fastening through the seats but in the end I did it. Good luck with your project.

Harley doing her pilates!
Great Video, Blue Marsh lake in Pa?
Thanks William
Yes, I fish on Blue Marsh alot. Also up in Tioga and in NE MD. Thanks for watching.
Nice the way that you remodeled the boat, you got it set up pretty good man, are you in construction, LoL I ask because of the ladder rack on your truck, enjoyed the video brother 💯
I'm not in construction although I can get things done. I use the rack for the kayaks. Thanks for watching.

Wow what a great way to make it a bass boat. With all those poles do you have a cane pole?
Missing from the collection!
You are a plethora of information!
Making the boat a better fishing platform
Not bad need hummingbird fish finder. I would get a trolling motor with foot control for front. We did pretty much same thing with v hull Aluminum boat.
A few more things in the spring and she will be ready.
