Thanks man! Love to hear it! The video and boat were both so much fun to make! And I hear you, if you don’t like Jazz then I don’t wanna be friends lol
Doing this project with your dad has to be the best part! My dad never did anything with me, he worked 7 days a week and was from another culture. Nice job on the whole project! More opportunities to have good memories with your dad too! 🙂
I hear you man! My dad works a LOT too. But the trick is everyone’s busy and no one has time, you just gotta make it. I will remember this boat build forever :)
I did a 14 ft boat build back in the late 80’s with plywood only no paint or carpet, when I got into the water my little 8 hsp wouldn’t get it on plane, discouraged me so I tore it out, hope you have better luck than I did. Finally got me a 20 hsp redid my plywood with paint, carpet etc, and I was set, caught more fish out of it than my fish ski boat. I loved doing the build, you’ve done a fantastic job, keep up the great work and videos. Good luck fishing.
Go with a 25 h.p. if u can find one, it has another cylinder vs the 20 h.p. i have a yamaha 20 but wish it was the 25 on my 16 ft skiff but it does the job
I REALLY like the little bass boat build! It is the perfect father/son fishing rig for making memories on the rivers, creeks and sloughs. I wish I had my Dad's old 14 foo deep v with the 20 HP Chrysler to do this with.
This is my favorite small boat build video.. I like how clean your wiring is. I probably would have opted for a swivel seat on the front bench over the casting platform but that’s just me. The motor upgrade in your subsequent video was a good idea.
fun video, one thing to consider , with marine epoxy you would not need to punch holes through your transom to mount your transducer, just remove the red paint and glue your mounting block to the bare aluminum.
I purposely did not want to use adhesive. With the bolts, there’s no way it can come loose. Also, after a year there’s been zero leaking thankfully and if it ever does, I’ll just touch it up.
Great build idea. The finger loops stapled onto the compartments' lids will pull and/or loosen once they get wet. on my john boat, which was a similar build, we used 3/4" stainless steel screws and a washer just big enough to secure the strap. That should put you without any worries
Love the build! I would pull the motor off, and 1.) put on a sawhorse and repaint the motor, the same color as factory. Same for the prop/lower unit. You can maybe get those decals from an old supplier, but if not, just clean them up the best you can. Make that motor look almost factory new again. 2.) Friend of mine got a rod rack on his bass boat, that 5- rods can be mounted laying down on side of top casting deck. Point here is, you do not have the length of the top deck as long as your rods, so the butts will hang off edge into the leg area, but not bad. It is organized in a not so wide mount, so you do not step on your bass rods, while casting. A must have... 3.) I would add another same seat on the other side, for another person to fish with you. 4.) I would mount some cup holders for drinks on the side of wall near your seats. I agree, bilge pump would be good. If you want to put a larger motor; a good 25hp merc. would get you around plenty fast. Just get a little larger tank. That's it! Great job!!
Okay first this comment is great, thanks! :) and yea there will be some more small upgrades. At first I wanted a 9.9 Mercury but now I'm already looking at a 25hp lol, it would absoulty fly! But for now I'm super pleased, I did this build for super low money! :)
@@hyper.orange can you give me an approximate price please, im 15 trying to get a bass boat and this is encouraging me, i can do everything here except electric work, but even just a John boat can be expensive, i probably would slap a trolly motoe on anyway, i had a friend who turned his prop around and put it on the back, it seamed cool to me
Around $3000 Canadian / $2300 USD $1500 for boat, trailer , and motor $1500 for trolling motor, material, paint, leather chair, etc **Already had the fish finder, transducer and lithium battery
I have a 12 ft just like urs and it's been modified close to URS but u took it to a higher level I really love wat u did n this has encouraged me to do some more things almost exactly like urs I think u did a great job modifying this n I hope you have a lot of good times in your new boat .....thanku I really enjoyed watching ur video 😊
I love reading comments like this man! This boat has been one of the best things I’ve ever done! So many great memories! Do it, modifying it to the max is what made it so fun.
im liking the removable decks, been thinking of doing that to mine too, ive got a 1956 v hull 14' with a 1965 9.5hp motor, same trolling motor style, garmin striker v4,
I have a 12’ smokercraft I’m thinking about doing something similar. Just trying to figure out tackle box spots and gotta get rid of the tackey wood panel bench seats and do something better
I see you take it out on st clair but what are your guidelines? I have a 14ft i decked out with a 9.9 on the back. The sidewalls aren't very high and ive yet to take it out there.
Yup I take it on Lake St Clair a good bit. Weather and wind direction is everything. You really got to prepare and watch when you’re on a small boat. I’m extra cautious! I don’t mess with stuff like that. Because I have a weak motor, I also am very aware of how far I go out. Because it may be nice at one point, but St Clair can turn on a dime. When it’s nice though the boat is awesome. But my advice is just extreme caution eh. Its not worth it, a lot of times I cancel it sucks but the right call.
Awesome build! This is getting me motivated to get my own boat and modifying it. The end result is clean and tidy and definitely well worth the effort. Tight lines bro!
I’m 16 years old and saving up my money to buy a jon boat, this video is really giving me great ideas and some inspiration I love it man keep it up and keep living the dream 🙌
So I’m wondering how the lid pulls have held up I was thinking about either drilling a finger hole or some kind of flush mount pull for mine but your setup looks pretty good as well
Boat, trailer, gas outboard motor was used $1500 CAD ($1111 USD) and I spent around another $1000-$1500 CAD on the trolling motor, wood, carpet supplies, paint, etc. Now 05 2023 I have an even nicer trolling motor with spot lock so it really depends how you build it Also depends how much time you have
I have a question why did you put the carpet on the front floor and the two front seats if you covered it with the wood and carpet later, also what boat carpet did you use?
The front deck is removable. So if I wanted to use it the original way I can. The carpet adds a soft and flat platform underneath, it also reduces noise and there isn’t any shakes. The carpet is outdoor waterproof carpet from Home Depot.
Im building a bass boat john boat and im wondering where did you get the paint and what the name of that color red is i want to paint mine the same color
I just ran across this video and I have something to ask ! How big is this boat ?? I have a 11 footer I'd love to do something like this to but I worry that it's too small .
I’m watching your video again!!!! I have the same type of boat and I’ll be doing the exact same thing to mine. Great Job. I’m excited to see how mine is going to come out
Good work. May I ask how fast it goes with 1 or 2 people onboard with that 6 hp evinrude? Worried about the speed and whether it can still on plane after so much additional weight😂
Yea its does sometimes. Goes around 10mph/16kmph with max weight Not the fastest but better then nothing. Im planning on getting a 20hp Merc on it! Im just happy to be out on the water.
@@hyper.orange Yea that's what I would imagine. Mine goes 10 mph with 2 ppl and 16 mph with myself. 6 hp outboard. it would be awesome if you can put a 20 hp outboard on, just wonder is it rated for that much power? Mine only rated for 7 hp🙃
Yea I hear yeah. I was looking at a 9.9hp but the 20hp only weighs 10lbs more then my 6hp. And with my weight of the boat I think it will be perfect, and regardless I just want that extra push. Heard a lot of good things about the new Mercury's so its just a matter a time! Everyhting is just so expensive now but a motor upgrade is for sure planned.
@@hyper.orange yea I think the weight is not the problem, but the thrust. 20 hp is much more than the weight of the motor which is only like 100 lb or so... good luck! Mercury/Tohatsu outboards did improve a lot in recent years. get the EFI ones, much better than the problematic carburators...
Yea I hear you! I’ve been doing a lot of research! Also outboards are so expensive in Canada! Hopefully I get some type of upgrade by the end of the year! Just got my carburetor cleaned on the 6hp and she’s running great!
Nice !!! My first Bass Boat was 72' Sears Gamefisher fiberglass 10' skiff. It was rough, needed paint but it cleaned up good. I fished out of that thing for 10 years. Had a Gamefisher 2.5 hp.motor . Trolling motor was a Paddle 😂
Boat, trailer, gas outboard motor was used $1500 CAD ($1111 USD) and I spent around another $1000-$1500 CAD on the trolling motor, wood, carpet supplies, paint, etc. Now 05 2023 I have an even nicer trolling motor so it really depends how you build it
Great video. My wife and I are trying to but a house, right now, but I want to get a boat after that. This was a great, inspirational build for me. I've thought about doing something like this, but wasn't sure how to go about it. Seeing you do it really helps. Would have loved a little clip of you fishing from it at the end, but still, great video.

Thank you! I completely agree! I do plan to upgarde to a Terrova soon, just cuz I really want i-pilot the way I fish! But the traxxis has been great for what is it!
Final result looks amazing. Motivational and inspirational to anyone with an old boat.
Thanks :)

Terrific video….and a great job on the boat….hope to see some vid of you on the water fishing!!!

VERY Nice built! Do you have to register this boat for this size and small motor? In our state said boat 12' + and 25hp+ needs tittle and register.
Not in Ontario because it’s under 9.9hp
What brand is it?
Lund
That lil boat was a beauty before! After is just flat out killer!!!
S tier comment man! Thanks
I just got a 12ft v hull and after watching this I’ve got so much motivation to pimp mine out now.
Do it man! It’s a lot of fun!
Love it dude! This is like a Dewalt commercial
Haha thanks! Dewalt has definitely been good to me
Do you feel like its more stable now with the deck vs stock v hual floor when walking in it?
It is way more stable now. Very happy with it. A big factore is also the weight. You can check out my videos of me using it to see for yourself too.
What a cool project!! The end result is very cool as well. Congrats on this build!! Enjoy it!!
Thank you! Glad you liked the build, it was so fun to do and even better to fish!
I have a 12’ smokercraft I’m thinking about doing something similar. Just trying to figure out tackle box spots and gotta get rid of the tackey wood panel bench seats and do something better

Great vid 🎉
Informative, not quirky and keeps you interested.
Thanks and the good feedback helps
Nice job. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun in that boat. Good luck
The boat has been the best thing ever!
Nice job on that little boat. Looks amazing
Thanks you! It was a great build to do!
How do you secure the wood on the floor to the boat??? Rivet or screw into the supports?
No screws or bolts needed. The weight and snug placement keeps it in perfectly. Doesn’t move or come up at all.
I see you take it out on st clair but what are your guidelines? I have a 14ft i decked out with a 9.9 on the back. The sidewalls aren't very high and ive yet to take it out there.

Don't have the space for a boat but this got me pumped to start a clean project
:)
How did you keep the frame of the front casting deck did you drew into the side of the boat of just screwed it down to the seats?
It locks into the side metal to stop from moving and the weight and tightness is enough to keep it down. Also It is removable.
Awesome build! This is getting me motivated to get my own boat and modifying it. The end result is clean and tidy and definitely well worth the effort. Tight lines bro!
Love to hear it man! Thanks so much! If your curious I have an upgrade video on it! Cheers man

Wouldn't half Inch plywood be thick enough? I want to do a similar type of deck on my 14' aluminum boat.
I wanted to make it heavy duty
So I’m wondering how the lid pulls have held up I was thinking about either drilling a finger hole or some kind of flush mount pull for mine but your setup looks pretty good as well
Yea I hear you. I’m happy I didn’t drill any holes, so far the straps held up great and I think it looks cleaner. Keeps the inside dryer too.

Would have loved a little clip of you fishing from it at the end, but still, great video.
Thanks man! I’m really happy with the out come for what it is.
Check out the channel, there are multiple videos of me fishing on it.
What paint did you use in the interior
Same as the exterior, Solignum marine paint, marine red.
Are the staples already rusted?
greetings from Germany
Staple are stainless and are holding up great still. Hi Germany, say hi to Porsche for me.
How much did the build cost in total? Not including the tools you used.
Boat, trailer, gas outboard motor was used $1500 CAD ($1111 USD) and I spent around another $1000-$1500 CAD on the trolling motor, wood, carpet supplies, paint, etc.
Now as of 05 2023 I have an even nicer trolling motor with spot lock so it really depends how you build it
what carpet is that?
Water resistant outdoor carpet I got from Home Depot
Good call on the trolling motor. A good one transforms your fishing experience more than you realize... until you use a bad one.
Thank you! I completely agree! I do plan to upgarde to a Terrova soon, just cuz I really want i-pilot the way I fish! But the traxxis has been great for what is it!
Nicely done
Thanks!
literally the coolest boat i want to make one just like it!
Thanks man! I’m so happy with it! If you can go for it!

Hyper orange can you use a wood block to mount a trolling motor
Yes you can. In my newer video I have a new bow trolling motor and new mounting system and used wood with the steel in the front
