Thank the Lord there are people like you to show how to do things the right way. I wonder why a big company hasn't jumped into this large market.

It's still nitch to us.

Built a few myself and its enjoyable and when ur done and out fishing on that favorite lake its pretty cool feeling knowing you built a working Bass Boat. Nice work!!

Your opening monologue was amazing and exactly sums up how I feel about taking on a project like this too

I'm currently working on a 1982 Lund Mr. Pike 16". Your videos have helped me tremendously & has given me the confidence to restore my boat. ✌🏼️❤️🤘🏼

Intro was epic along with the entire video! Ya'll could turn a float tube into a bass boat I bet!

Outstanding! Just started doing a few simple rebuilds this year but after seeing what you’ve done here, well, let’s just say I’m gonna be kicking my next rebuild up many notches! Subscribed, inspired and ready for more...

You’re talented dude, true artwork!

The attention to detail is astounding! Even somethings as small as recessing the trolling motor foot control! The ocd gods thank you. I've never seen quality like this from any of the boat restoration vids I've ever seen!

This is easily the best boat build I have seen. You covered so many important things that others simply ignore. Great video.

I am truly blown away by your very thoughtful design process and the skill YOU possess to make it become reality! So many clever and useful ideas! I genuinely thank you for posting this and sharing with us. God bless you and your subscribers with much good health and good fishing for 2020. Again, thank you!

well-said friend, for the same reason, I'm obsessed with the idea of building single family small plastic fishing boats, but so far it's still ideas and plans. It's much harder to start from scratch than to start with something like you did. Salute to you!

This is some incredible dedication to put that much work into an older boat. I stripped down an older 1980's welded alumacraft flat bottom that was full of rotting carpet and it took a week of evenings cleaning the old marine adhesive off the metal lining. Such a rewarding experience though, but I wouldnt have had the patience to do all the stuff you did the right way. Big props from a fellow tiny boat lover!

Very inspired ..I was just like you ,I recently just sold my little boat and moved up to a 18’ . I just needed more room ..keep it going Bud ,nice work

Outstanding transformation. That looks as good as any rig that you could buy new, and it was done with love and safety in mind. Great job.

Great Concept and super attention to detail - I worked with Ranger for years, love to see how you build boats like Forrest did.

Definitely on my bucket list. Jon to bass conversion

I just recently saw something how you should have your trailer jack on the same side as your boat winch aka driver side. I never thought about it until I saw it and it make sense. You don’t have to reach over or climb over to raise or lower the jack. Just wanted to share that with you. Also Awesome build! I look forward to seeing the complete Coosa board tracker topper!

This is awesome. Congratulations on your boat. This is something you will enjoy with your children for a long time. One of the best things is that you made it, your kids will know that and that will instill a huge sense of pride. Again, awesome.

I'm blown away by the amount of talent and skill you have. I'm going to watch all your content and hope to hire you in the near furure.

Incredible work on that rebuild. I’m a huge fan of your technique and attention to detail.

As an electrician: Put the wire in some kind of sleeve! you will not regret. Hell, even in black split flex. That may not fill with foam. Sick video and superinteresting.

You sir are a true craftsman. I am 71 and have been fishing my entire life. My son is now fishing with his son and I would love to ask you to build a boat for them, I'm strictly shore fishing now but they would love it.

Wow man, great job on the build! You have a ton of ideas I want to incorporate on my next build. Kudos!!!

We do it to save money and have the best boat we can by building it ourselves, I'm 71 years old 6'1" 240 lbs and have a 14 foot semiV bottom, I'm on social security and on a snug budget, so I try to make my boat as comfortable and functional as possible, I fish I'm a lake where some guys have big bass boats with monster motors , but little budget boat woll chase the bass, a lot slower but I'm a fishermen not a showman , but I love adding more comfort to my tin boat. Thanks for the video.

Wow that was a great build. The quality is impeccable .thanks for sharing your build with us mate.🙂🚤

I love how you over did an old beater. Hilarious. Doing that to my boat which is what lead Me here

this boat is way better than a new designed boat! So sick! Im in love.

Im going to do this one day. when i finish school next year ill be looking for this type of diy project.. i had this in mind and found this looking it up, thanks for the inspiration

Mike...I have been with the channel for a long time. It never seizes to amaze me with your craftsmanship

Awesome. Would love to see a breakdown for someone who's never done this before. For example finding and buying a boat etc

Yeah thatd be great

Very interesting. I have a Lund WS 16, and you’ve given me some great ideas!

The anchor pole vid was one of the coolest and most impressive things I've seen

man, i don’t even fish but i got a 14’ because it’s all i could afford. my girlfriend and i love just being on the water. i wish that i could build to your level. all i want is to get the deck repaired. your videos are very helpful and i’m going to use some things that i’ve seen for reinforcing the floor and some waterproofing.

You can do it! You got this

Did this once , but you brought it to a whole new level .

Awesome man that level of ingenuity and creativity just blows my mind.

I’m on my 4th restoration 3 bass trackers and one Alumacraft Maverick 18” that i am working on now. And like you said it’s paid for.

The speech got to my soul! liked and subscribed

Awesome build , I have a 14 footer you definitely gave me some great ideas.

brush back into your brush strokes and keep a wet edge. when you start in the middle of your previous brush strokes, you can see where you started that brush stroke and it harder to get a straight brush line stroke throughout the whole hull. brush back into your paint and you can fade out your stroke and get a straighter line. thats my ''im a painter know it all" comment for the day. Thanks for the videos dude. im working on my mod now and finding your videos felt like a miracle. Only know paintting and carpentry so all this aluminum framing and wireing made me feel a little lost. thank god my friend told me about these. thanks man!

Great job! Build looks awesome!!!

You do awesome I mean AWESOME BUILDS. I'm 48 years old and pretty skilled and did a good job on my 14 36. But you are on a level that only you stand on . I'm thoroughly impressed and love you insights. Awesome vis and I enjoy every single one

Sitting on my kayak agreeing with your opening statement, absoluetly!!

Great job..!! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Love the vids! I'm tackling a 1979 14ft Seanymph remake this summer.

I’ve been working on a jon boat project for a while because I had to give up my high dollar bass boat to raise a family. I’ve added seats, new paint, a trolling motor, depth finder, and homemade 10 foot power poles that slide through some pipe straps/clamps bolted to the transom. The poles are made out of 3/4 inch schedule 80 pvc pipe with a taper cut on one end and a 6 inch wide T-handle on the other. This set up nails the boat down solid in most any condition. It’s almost like fishing from a mobile boat dock........

Great build. Lots of good stuff here.

You did a great job good luck with your new boat

Been wanting to do this for years. My dad and I did a Jon boat when I was a kid

50 seconds in and you already have me subscribed, well said.

You are a good teacher. Thorough! I have been inspired. Thank you!

Holy cow! That looks like a lot of work! I just want to go fishing😊 looks awesome!

Love the videos This boat looks amazing I been looking a for a cheap boat to do this but being in the military it’s hard to find the time to do all this but keep it up and keep the videos coming

I have a Lund WC14 that I blew out some seals on power washing it. Just put Gluvit on to fix that, can't wait to save up enough to mod my boat. Very intimidating project, and will take me a long time to do, but once the money is there, it's happening. Thanks for the inspiration and guide!

Awesome..ill be putting in an order for a kit here shortly. I have a 16’ 1961 lone star skipper i want to deck out. CAN’T WAIT

Man I can't stop watching your videos ...amazing work. Congrats ...all the way down from South America. Very inspiring

Love following your builds, you give me motivation to keep working on my bass tracker.

Very Nice.. I have one of those old Lund boats. Love the craftsmanship & instruction.

This is an awesome boat! I need to learn how to do this stuff

Very impressed ! Cheers from sweden

Awesome boat Here in Colorado there is not to many lakes but when the wind kicks up it gets dangerous

Nice work my man. You guys did a great job!

Awsome work! Really nice and a lot of information and ideas to suck in and put them in boats I want to build. Thank you for sharing this!

Awesome build and project mate!

WOW!!! Incredible boat. Dang the owner of that is one seriously lucky guy. Sure got me drooling.

Mike what an inspirational video man. Me and my two sons were going to buy kayaks and customize them for fishing, change of plans bro. We are going to do a Bass boat instead. Thank you again for the inspiration my friend.

Damn brother....you rock! After seeing this level of upgrade, you should be a busy man.......great job😎

Whao... Bro what an amazing job. Beautiful work, I can only wish my small nation were near your place, I would have been there everyday to provide you support. Love it my Brother keep up the amazing work. God bless

Very nice work! Keep it going TBN!

How can you not sub to this guy. Better head outside and get to work on my 14’er

Great build. Very nice love it

New to the channel! Awesome work! Keep it goin man killing it!

Man, ive been checking out your videos for a few months now. And I gotta say, that intro on this video was INTENSE!! But love your videos man! Thanks for the awesome and extremely Informative content

Great work, gods willing I'll be able to come see you to build one for me 1 day, keep up the great bro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Another great build! I love what you do, and wish I could do something like this for myself, and maybe as a business and use your kits etc.

Just got a 12' plastic john boat for $50 at a garage sale. Came with a small trolling motor too... A few fiberglass patches and a couple layers of flex seal later and its nearly ready to go. Just need a few rod holders and probably new motor. $200 spent so far, $500ish total budget!

What a build! Awesome! Following from Western Australia, eyeballing ideas for my 12ft Stacer and hoping to be TBN worthy one day keep em coming!

Broooooo this boat is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just acquired an alumacraft t14v xl, have a lot of work ahead of me this winter!

Great JOB !!

That was sick awesome boat!!!

what a great build!!!! holy fish stories!

I'm glad I stumble on this channel. Who give 2 shit if it does leaks (I do). Its the impossible, making possible. I would really love to come help for one weekend. Amazing work. Keep up the good work

"why do you do it" you can't explain it to those people. They'll never understand. Doing something most people can't or just won't. Building something from almost nothing and bit by bit watch it come to life. I get it.

man, this is straight-up talent.

Outstanding!

That’s some awesome work mike!!! I need help getting my electronics hooked up to my switch box. Anything will help. Thanks!

Dido " Ponds Solo Fishing " his videos are excellent, lots of info there. Thanks Mike !
