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.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yea I knew the little lights were crap when I bought them but, I used three different styles to see which lasts longest. Thanks for watching and thank the kind words.
The boat is sweet and can't wait to see the maiden voyage and first catch.
This project is getting closer to a happy end, finally. Just wondering to see it in the water.....take care.
Your a pro, great job
Beautiful job and it took a lot of work. I’m very proud of you for your dedication to this project as I would have given up long ago! Thanks for sharing.

I'm working on building the same type of setup currently. But have not decided between a vhull like this and a flat bottom

Looks great in day and night, rigging electrics on my inflatable atm bit of a pain not many places to run wire.
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 👊🏾

@@EngineeredAngler absolutely! Your approach and filming is great! Creatively re-purposing is the best!
Franco, the boat transformation is outstanding! What was your total investment in materials alone for the build? $1200-$1,500? Keep up the the great vids!

With a 4hp it’s going to be a very long ride to your fishing spots. Have you ever add up all the weight you’ve added to the basic boat?
