Congrats FireAnt! Looks great. I had a couple questions for you! 1. With everything added to it, what is your suggested weight limit in people and gear?! 2. Can I do something similar to this with $3000? I don't need the fancy high dollar gear, maybe just smart buy on electronics and livewell. 3. Is it plenty of space for 2 people? Thanks for everything you've been a big help already!

thank you! 1. im not really sure, i can say that weight isn't a worry for me now that I've had it on the water. i wouldn't be nervous to bring an extra cooler or add more tackle is what i mean. i don't think i would add a 3rd person though 2. ohh yeah for sure. i wouldn't use an aluminum frame again, i would stick with red wood. but i doubt the materials costed anywhere near 3 grand 3. yeah it is for sure. me and my buddy take it out and have no worries. it works great!

it took me around a year in a half to complete. a bunch of it was me learning though, and i made many mistakes that i had to correct. but in the end it was worth it. i don't have an exact number for how much it cost, but it wasn't cheap. that seems to be a popular question so i do some math and figure out how much it costed me

COOL

What kind of boat ( name brand ) and where did u buy it , and price ?!

Did you do a video or could you do a video just about how to setup and install a live well system like yours. i know you explained the ins and outs, but im new to your videos and don't know if you did a video just for that

Nice boat dude. But you gotta get an outboard, you never know when a storm can come up on any body of water. I would say at least 9.9hp but I would get a used 15 or 20. Tight lines!

So this boat is 62" across the bottom?? Or the top? I'd be very interested to see the performance of this boat with a 9.9 since that's what I plan on doing . I'm just torn between a 14 or a 16 because I want a as much speed as possible. Also you say you wouldn't go with an aluminum frame for the deck on a previous comment. Whys that?

@fireantfishing

7 жыл бұрын

Thank you! its 66" across on top. I'm not sure of the bottom off the top of my head. i like the 16' because they will be wider. personally i think thats a huge key in these builds. i don't know how to weld aluminum, so working with it became very time consuming. it took me almost a year and a half to complete. plus attaching the wood deck to the aluminum was a pain. it cost a lot of money, and mike lopez did a weight comparison between the red wood and aluminum and the saved weight was not great enough compared to money and time spent. however, i might not be saying this if i could weld aluminum, that might have helped a ton.

I gotcha . Well I've located a 1452 and as of right now I'm going with a lot of your ideas.. I honestly just like the idea of aluminum frame (maybe because I'm an iron worker lol). I've been fishing 9.9 lake tournament series for awhile . Where I'm at there are probably 10-12 really really good 9.9 lakes within an hour so I been wanting to build a very nice Jon and I've had a vision for awhile . I was just searching around on here and stumbled on your videos and I swear this is what I had in my mind man... perfect . Once I start my build I plan on doing a video series on it as well and I probably will be in touch with you on some things if that's cool 😂
