You guys did a great job at keeping it simple and doing a great job. Think I’m going to do the exact build in my boat!!

A really nice job guys! I personally like the fact it's simplicity and clean lines. Thanks for sharing.

Man, clean and simple was right. You guys did a terrific job on that restoration. Every ‘old boat’ out there deserves this

Great job on the boat and trailer guys! Attention to detail and not rushing anything pays off big time. Enjoy!

You guys did a great job on this boat. I'm a little proud of mine also. 14 ft. aluminum Starcraft, 30 hp. electric start Johnson with hydrofoil fin, 3 padded swivel seats, marine radio, stereo radio/cd player with 4 speakers, bimini top, automatic bilge pump, flat, carpet covered floor, electric trolling motor, fish locator, depth finder, GPS, level floatation in seats, running lights, floor lights, spotlight, oars, just in case, rod holders, cup or bottle holders, top speed 30 miles per hour, (32 with tail wind) Had people remark that my boat is the best equipped 14 ft. on Lake Stclair. Trailer has side guides and non-skid walk out platform. No wet feet for me! LOL! I love this boat.

You boys did a great job and thank you for sharing.

Great price and well built. Bought it for my twelve foot boat to get around the lake. Very powerful and easy to install.

I've watched a ton of videos to get some ideas outfitting my boat and i gotta say, you guys did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing!

Nice build. Lots of good ideas for me if I do one. I think I might be doing one this winter.

that paint made it pop nice great job with the boat i like how the hull was framed out to make a nice flat even surface to walk on the captains chair up front was a nice touch as well as the carpet you got yourselves another subscriber

Just found this. Now I just need to find a decent tinny and do this. I might just put in an anchor well. Awesome job.

Wow great update to a simple boat

Awesome boat build! Great job

Good job guys. Very nice attention to details

Nice jobs guys. Will be repainting my 98 alumacraft soon

As I grew up I was always told if I were to paint something and put it in the water to always ways use a marine paint so I wouldn't pollut the water around the boat because an oil based paint will leach oil into the water anyways great build I hope u have great times on the water iv got a 14 foot Johnny boat did some work on it plan to do more thanks for a few tips. Be safe on the water.

When trying to make a template for the front, lay the cardboard on top of the gunnel and trace it, it may be a bit wider but it's the Exact shape. if the front piece of plywood is cut tight there is no need for framing? The boat tapers smaller?

Nice job 👍

Great job fellas

awsome setup but can you please explaing how did you do the part that supports the fromt deck?

I didn't know you had to put harder in that tractor paint from tsc. Guess that's why mine is really easy to scratch and it took forever to dry. I painted my boat trailer black with that paint and ended painting over it with the rust - oleum truck bed coating paint. You got another subscriber and y'all did great work on the boat and trailer restore \ build. I hope mine turns out that good after I have the money to put it all back together.

Anyone looking to remove old decals/stickers if nothing else get a heat gun and just apply some heat to it. It softens the vinyl and adhesive making it a little easier to remove.

That's is an incredible restore and rebuild!!

I will have to give this some serious thought. LOL!! I saw a few other people ask, and you never really said. but how much did it cost? How much for the boat...how much in materials etc., to get a completed build?

Just what Im looking for simple ideas as I have a similar very old boat my main concern is rebuilding the transom

Great build. Good attention to detail. Always concerned when foam is taken out of a boat and not added somewhere else. Family of four died in California a few years back when gale force winds swamped their boat in June Lake, a high altitude trout lake in California. Attributed to foam removal. Boat sunk in middle of lake in 45 degree water.

you could be right if it got pretty bumpy. We went a lot bigger than the original wheels just for looks but we probably went a little too big for keeping the original fender size.

Looks good but i got one question for you . Why do you have ores in the boat when you don't have any ore locks ? Even if you did there is no way to row it because you took out the bench seat that you sit on to row the boat . And what did you do for your navigation lights ? I did subscribe to your channel . Maybe that was more than one question .😁

Do you store the boat inside or outside, do you have any problems with the wood rotting?

@walshconcretecoatings

stored inside

I hope yours lasted longer than mine did. After only 3 years the plywood started warping and delaminating. I sealed mine on both sides and the edges with marine varnish and then covered it all with outdoor carpet like yours. It stayed out in the rain and sun because I didn't think I'd need a cover. The rain would run off and out the back. If I ever did it again I'd invest in a cover even though they only last a few years themselves. A cover is a lot cheaper than all the work and material I put into it!
