I love this build! I have a boat almost exactly like this that I haven’t touched yet. I’ve been waiting for something more practical to build, and here it is! Thanks Mike!

Mike! Stepping up the video production game! Nice! I love it!

I actually have this exact same boat. Thanks for your awesome videos so now I have great ideas of how to make this a truly functional boat

im glad i found the channel,ive been doing the ame thing in mo. for past 10 yrs

Really like build form mild to wild great work really like to c tiny boat setup for saltwater inshore fishing

I really like watching! This is awesome I really want a boat for myself but got to save money to do that

Great Job lads 🙂I will look forward to seeing the rest being done great work🙂👍🇨🇮

Great work, love the detail builds

I live in northwest Michigan and this little boat is a monster would work awesome on the thousands of small lakes and would work well on the motor sections of our rivers in fall for Salmon..

I’d love it!!! Rad Mike!! Thank you for the videos

Epic my friend … love your videos!!!

thank you for your video it cleared a lot of doubts.

This gives me a itch to build something! Looking good!

That is going to be one gorgeous little boat. I hope to be able to build, or buy, a similar boat one day. Dreams are what keep us going. God bless and greatest success.

Mike, what is the program you used to make the graphics in the beginning. I’ve been looking for one.

Question: What's the point of the drain hoses in the cat walk area that you're covering in pour foam? How are they going to catch any water? I'm about to start that phase of my build, and im just trying to make sense of it. Thank you!

Try oven cleaner then wrap Saran Wrap on top of it for a few hours to keep the oven cleaner from drying as quick. Also full strength oven cleaner thank me later

I'm trying to put a bow plate that can handle both the troling motor and anchor winch and then a small casting deck forward with a chair on a pole. All this while keeping the weight evenly distributed so I can hit plane fast. And i want to keep overall center of gravity low. I operate my little 14' starcraft on rivers and lake Erie so that's important. I think you've pointed me in the right direction. Foam is absolutely not an option.

I have an older glass bass boat I want to completely re-do similarly for electric only lakes. I am trying to figure how to build the foundation to attach the frame kit and build from there...

A large washer or something round with a hole in the center for the marker along those curves will give you a carbon copy of the shape.

Nice job

Hey TBN, I’ve watched several of your videos and learned a ton. I’ve got a Tracker 190 and I want to redo the front deck. It has two compartments behind the front fishing seat, and I want to turn that into one center rod locker with the 90 degree bend in the lid aft. Not sure if this is the place to ask, however thanks for your time!

No prob! Just emailed us support@tbnation.net or call us at one of the numbers listed in the description of this video and we can get you started!

Find the right size washer, put it flat on the deck against the side you are tracing, put your marker in the in the center hole of the washer and roll it against the side. Makes a perfect copy of the side.

If you line up all the visible screws so the X pattern in head are all straight up and down, it looks much nicer. Easy thing to do to make the final finish more pro and less DIY. It's free to do and is so satisfying! 😂

In watching it seems like the hose for water draining got sealed inside the expanding foam, is this true or is the hose still above the foam? If the hose is inside the foam how does it drain as I thought closed Cell foam does not allow water to flow through it?

@TinyBoatNation

It was there for a different type of mud, but we ended up filling the entire thing with foam. We sealed the deck off so that water can’t get in there. It’s in another video within the series.

The only buoyancy the foam needs to support in case of sinking is (the weight of) the negative buoyancy, which is broadly everything made of metal (including the outboard motor) and batteries. You can exclude the weight of water from livewell, gas, anything made of wood, and the weight of people with their own flotation devices. The 1,000 lb of displacing buoyancy you installed as foam on this boat makes the boat far unsinkable.
