Rowboat to Bass Boat Conversion, Update #7

Turning an old aluminum rowboat into a decked out bass boat has turned out to be quite a project. I started working on this bass boat conversion last March and it has taken me until now to finish. In this video I bring you up-to-date and answer some questions I've been getting about the project.

    Glad you like them! The weather has been crap every weekend...but as soon as there's a bit of sun, I'll put her in the water and do a final walkthrough of the systems.

    💥 Wow... OMG... What a difference you have made on your John-to-Bass Boat conversion. 🙂😃😉😀😁 Amazing!!! I'm glad that you put in the hard work filming this process & bringing us along with ya for the experience. It motivates me (now that the weather is warming) to continue the restoration on my "Abandoned Boston Whaler" project; featured on my BudgetBuyer KZread channel. Thankyou. 👍👍👍👍👍

    Wow! She looks awesome! This has been really fun to watch as you guided the metamorphosis of the boat into a fishing machine. I hope you have better luck with the little LED light in your front hatch. I put the same one in my boat and it didn't last very long. Keep em coming! Can't wait to see her splashed.

    I'm doing a boat on my channel now. I got to this video while cutting my deck. Can you do a video on those spring struts? I really need to understand the mechanism before I purchase. Some detailed video and explaining how they don't over extend, or just bend past a upper pivot point. I love them, really looks like it will save my hinges. If you can do that vid, let me know. #youtubers 👊🏾
