Glad to hear that the fishing has been good

Good to see you again! That boat looks like a real machine!

Not familiar with deck foam mat. Have worked on, helped built several commercial fishing and Naval vessels. Textured deck paint is waterproof and lasts decades. Open ocean for days and weeks at a time, with wet decks, that you can wash down at sea. Provided properly prepped and applied. Great traction in the worst of conditions. Tough as nails. Lights is up to you, but if you don't already have one, consider getting a solar panel set up. Keeps your batteries charged even when moored or in your back yard on a trailer. Know it cost money but marine batteries ain't cheap. Hope it helps or gives you options. Glad to see you back.

The knock off eva foam works works good. I had to use contact cement to hold it down though. The adhesive thats on the foam itself didnt hold up espicially in hot temps and started to peel so highly recommend the contact cement and weigh it down until it cures. I use it in a duck boat and works great. So far its holding up great. Has a few gouges into it but that was my fault throwing things into the boat. Also use cardboard to make patterns since its tricky laying the foam down in the boat and cutting as you go so much easier with patterns.

Good info!

Glad to hear you're good Stu! This boat is looking killer.

Tiny boat nation has a bunch of options at average prices, diy or pre routed. I am personally ordering marine mat brand, great glue, removes in one piece later on when it’s time to replace.

Hydroturf is the way to go !

Hey Stu great to see your doing good. Not gonna be much help with any of your questions though. I’m more into hunting and trapping than fishing. Hope to see more videos soon!

Glad you’re making videos again.

Good to see you are alive!

I use hydro turf on several boats and really like it. You can order it by the sheet

I really enjoy your trapping videos

I love how the boat turned out! Any fishing videos from it coming 😉? I enjoy all your videos!!

Thank you for sharing! That boat is doing well! Good luck with everything my friend!

That’s an impressive rig brotha 🤙🏼

With the cheaper EVA foam I've used it comes with adhesive on the back of it, however I would still get some 3m spray glue to put it down after you rough the surface a little. It does clean a lot nicer than carpet and it is pretty durable.

Boat looks great ,glad to hear you’re doing good!!!

That boat is looking good.

Good seeing you back. Looking forward to some fishing videos this summer 💯💯💯💯💯👍🏾

Great looking boat!

Hydro turf works great. very durable.

John oiler has some nice lights

There’s a lot of info on that decking on the jon boat groups on fb from my understanding the adhesive ain’t as good but you can use your own adhesive

Ive used the name brand hydro turf and it works well and is pretty easy to install. It has a better adhesive backing so you dont have to use extra adhesives. Pretty durable but if it sets outside the sun can eat it up pretty quick. If its under roof or tarped it holds up great. Check out Outrigger outdoors. They were the first with the adjustable lighting. We use there bow mounted lights and they work great.

Where do you find that kinda boat. Absolute dream boat. I love it so far. I can't wait to see what you do with it next.

I would check out Catman he put lights all around his boat looks nice

Could you make a video on how you made and how you tie off to your spike poles sometime.

I knew you were working alot. Let's go catfishing and crappie fishing. Hay do what you want.

💯

I’ve got a pretty nice foam in my boat and I really love it BUT it’s a rec boat I ride around on. I find the foam to be pretty fragile and I’d never use it for a sport boat like this.

Nice rig😁👍

Ive been curious about this project. Especially the motor set up... tiller vs center council...?? What kind of jack plate?

I wish i knew you was coming to Tennessee i would have put you on some good crappy fishing at dale hollow lake

nice.

I need some advice on how you made your egg bait do you have any more information on it if you were selling it I wouldn’t ask but you don’t to my knowledge

I personally hate bowfishing think it’s dumb and wasteful unless it’s silvers/bigheads that’s what ever but that’s me do some fishin catch some cats and crappie I’ll watch that all day

How do I go about contacting you. Want to get you on our podcast as a guest.

12v led lights don't burn shit

I’d say ask palmetto mountain man he’s probably the best hands down and most handsome man, really he’s a total thot but yeah I’d ask him his thoughts. He has been trapping and fishing since he was 3

Lots of “ any-way”
