Thanks man! Sounds like a blast. If I had friends who were interested in restoring them I probably would too. No fun by yourself 🤣

Awesome I love my 15'4"

that's awesome

Congratulations on the boat. I’m looking this year to get something as well.

I would mount the hatch in the back in a way that I could put a cooler up there to sit on. That's really my only complaint

I just thought about your comment. I've done a lot of modifications since I got the boat and I have more advice. Sea dek is a game changer. Just know now that you should absolutely get some if you buy one thay doesn't have it. I also installed a bilge pump which made me way less anxious about being in open water. I'll make a video once I get a little more done to it but I figured it may help to tell you now

Hey man do you think the highsider is light enough to pull by hand on the trailer into a backyard ?

Yea it's definitely light enough. I had this same concern because I push it around my garage but its no problem.

How much was it? Came from the crab video. Not a boater, it would like something to crab/shrimp from and put out crab traps. Didn’t see the boat on their website.

My boat was $2600 for everything. It's definitely doable with a kayak if that's out of your budget. Your best bet to find one is to look around Florida for a used one. New ones have a 2 year waiting list

Whats speeds are you getting with that 8hp?

I was told the hull is 300 lbs with no motor. I'm making another walk through of it soon so keep an eye out. I've done quite a bit to it

I couldn’t see the trailer behind my truck either put the tailgate down do you want to get embarrassed anymore

I have a bar on my trailer that keeps me from being able to do that. It will open but at soon as I turn it will hit the gate. I just get out and lift the trailer straight now 🤣. I'll eventually put some pvc indicators on it
