    Dont pay em no attention Mr. Martin. I've seen those fish you've caught off that deck. It served its purpose very well.
    You continue to inspire me to catch the next fish and you have been for 30 years! God bless you sir!

    Roland still getting it done! Nice to see a fishing legend promoting inexpensive ways to get out there and enjoy the water. I love pulling up to the ramp in my 14 ft Jon boat with homemade everything, small outboard and bad camo paint job to see some poor soul in a $50-60k rig who can't figure out how to get it in the water, much less catch fish😏
    Well done, sir.

    ROLAND! Respect the homebrew from a veteran. If you're ever in Arizona, we have some MEAN bass down here on the Colorado River. Would love to show you the deal out here

    Good job. I really like to watch when you punch through the heavy hydrilla with power everything. Pole, sinker, line. And yanking out big hidden bass underneath it all. Like the flippen and pitching king of the Delta. Big ol Dean.

    Roland Martin! I wanted to thank you for your videos. Your energy, spirit and enthusiasm makes your videos OFF THE HOOK! I've watched your videos on senko fishing over and over and it's finally paying off. Topped by PB two days in a row. Bite was tough today, so I whipped out my blue sharpie and painted the tail of my green pumpkin 297 and they hammered it! It has completely changed my fishing life, considering all I could use was top water or rapalas before watching your content.
    I'm your biggest fan and will sing your praises to every young fisherman I meet. And if I ever enter a kayak trail tournament, you will be the first one I thank when I reach shore as the champion. (I'm dreaming now, but I also dreamed of catching fish on soft plastic for 30 years! And look at me now!)

    Your the man Roland. My father in-law and I redid a 14' aluminum boat this past winter. Basically just the three wooden bench seats and the transom. Just at Lowes yesterday to pick up stuff for a deck. Since it's a V-hull, I'm putting the deck down on the bench seats to keep a lower center of gravity. I like that you reuse and recycle. Fish on!

    Subscribed. I watched you and Jimmy Houston growing up and learned a lot and I have caught many fish throughout the years to include missing my state record twice by 6 oz. I pass on what I learned to my kids so I guess one could say that I passed on what I learned from you and of course some of my own knowledge picked up along the way as well... lol. Guess you have influenced more than one generation in this house and I am sure many others. Had no Idea you had a channel on youtube but I am glad that I found it. Keep it going. I can also say, viewers on here do like to know that you read their comments where it is a different venue than watching a TV show. It is a more personal theater, if you will.

    Hi Roland You may have seen these before Cam Cleats or Open V Cleats they may be faster, more convenient and provide adjustable depth for your anchor lines. You can search those names, they are not expensive. By the way you gained even a bit more respect after seeing the milling machine in your shop !! I enjoy your videos.

    Nice low $$$ set up. I'd drill pilot holes with an 1/8" drill bit rather than using screws to mark the holes through the old pattern. I'd put the seat base on after the finish, to avoid the overspray. I might even have spent $20 for a couple of yards of marine carpet. I actually thought it looked OK unfinished, once it weathered a bit. New deck should be stronger. For my fat butt I'd have another layer of wood under the seat mount area, perhaps a 12"x12" scrap of plywood. I like the way you've got the anchor system done, simple, cheap & effective. If I remember correctly you can't use a lead anchor in my state though.
    I'd like to see you try out a plastic Pelican or Twin troller boat in shallow water.

    I wouldn't worry about what "everyone" else thinks about your old deck. Whatever works best for you is all you need. If "everyone" else could put the quality of bass in the boat that you do, then they can get their own RUclips channel and show us how it's done.

    I personally would add a water seal by Thompson the clear nothing fancy. With Florida sun ☀️ might hold up better? So when it does rain 🌧 beads up no worries. I’d also add an electric bilge pump. For those big gully washes. The only thing that concerns me is lack of flotation if the boat 🚣‍♀️ fills up with rain 🌧 while fishing and the pump fails going to have a Titanic moment. I’d box 📦 in some spray in foam or something to keep you afloat in emergency. Gators 🐊 and rut rough don’t mix.
