I watched your Tracker build, Great job. Watching this one now, Really impressed. You dont see many young kids (Im 46 so forgive me) actually get out and work to get something how they want it. My kids will barely get off the couch to get a drink. Apply that work ethic to all you do and the sky holds no limits.

Looks great Derek. I can’t wait to see it once it’s tricked out with the decals. As always, thanks for sharing your lessons learned. I am learning a lot from you and the others at TBN. I am thinking of doing a small boat for local lakes, these videos are very encouraging.

How about starting out by telling us something about the boat i.e., brand, type, age, size, how did you acquire it etc. "Backstory" intros tend to make for a more interesting video. Gets the viewers more involved in the project.

Finally. Someone knows how to use a spray can. Not pushing the actuator 5000 times. Got a jon boat 1860 getting the spa treatment now. Great work. Great YT production too.

Appreciate the kind words and good luck with your boat!

Looks great. I redid my 14 foot jon boat on my sons channel k squared outdoors. And I never repainted it. And now the jon boat green is looking old for all the newness. Thinking of doing rhino bed liner on the bottom and a metallic gray on the sides to match my truck. Nice video thanks!

Awesome man! Good luck with the project!

Hey Derek, can you advise the paint code and color name for the primer coating you used to paint your boat, I really want to use it on an upcoming project boat I'm working on this year!!!

Just bought one of those poly strip wheels for the angle grinder, and my fear is that it is too agressive, it's definitely scratching up the aluminium, and I think it's thinning it. :(

Hey man how’s the paint holding up do you use it in salt water or just fresh water

You have any issues keeping the black cleaned?

Hey what spray paint did you use?

How many coats of black did you go with?

And is it just normal rustolium paint ?

Hey brother what part of Illinois? I’m on the chain

Should have just used paint stripper to remove the paint much easier.

What type of spray paint did you use and how many cans?

Rust-oleum protective enamel in semi gloss. I want to say I used about 6 cans of paint and 3 cans of primer

you destroyed a perfectly good boat. how many times have we seen somebody spray some shiny new paint and say "look at what i did"! you can do it too... diy. then the next guy has to spend hundreds of dollars to get that crap off, then only to find that the metal is ruiend underneath. no, its not "textured". the aluminum is gouged, thinned and weakened. more prone to crack. who takes a grinder to alunimum? a kid that doesnt know anything about what hes doing. so youve painted a couple toys a year or two ago. that was a nice boat... before

What I don’t get is all the other people here praising someone for doing it completely wrong, and on a platform where those same people will obviously follow this bad information. I mean kudos for actually fixing a boat but Jesus at least do it somewhat correctly to reach people how to do this sort of thing.

You get what you pay for

No…stop showing people sh*t if you don’t know wtf you are doing
