It's looking great. Love seeing the restore process. I wish I had time and space to do something like this. You could run a trotline from this boat. Look forward to seeing it on the water.

Thanks, Tommy! I think it's fair to say that we WILL run a trotline from this boat.. and I hope that it WILL be you who teaches me how to do it. I have a goal to get this thing up to 100% so we can chase those stripers in the fall.

@@CareAgainFishing I'd be glad to show you the ropes. My first crabbing boat was similar to yours. We definitely have to chase some rockfish soon.

I would like to request a breakdown of the project cost at the end. Now I want a little John boat THANKS..........

So cool I love doing this kind of stuff Between fishing and stuff like that is why I’m always way behind on house and yard maintenance On your paint like … You will be the only one who knows, notices or cares about the very small defects you pointed out but I do get it …you know. You could of course get some pinstripe tape and tape that line

I'm very fortunate to have a teenage son who's willing to handle the yard work (and does so at a reasonable rate). I haven't had to cut my own grass for the past few years. I definitely need to do a better job of budgeting my time, though... It's a good problem to have. As far as the flaws are concerned: We're all our own worst critics. I'm not one to let perfection be the enemy of good, but it would be nice to achieve perfection *just once.* (It's never gonna happen.)

Fasco Epoxies Super Slick is 1:1 by volume, not weight. You should use a volume measuring cup.

I looked it up. You're right! That stuff ain't cheap! (Neither is anything else these days. Just wait until you hear what I have to say about the cost of aluminum.)

How many times you think you've been in the water since then? Hows it holding up?

I'm in the ballpark of 20 outings, at this point. I haven't taken it easy on the boat, at all. It's holding up GREAT.

@@CareAgainFishing Thank You! I have a 1972 aluminum boat myself. I like your video. Probably going to go this route. It's the friendliest on the wallet considering boat paint costs. Thanks again for the video!

@@workforit2270 Thanks! I did my best. One thing I would recommend that isn't in the video: Don't measure the materials by weight. Measure by liquid volume (as the Fasco social media folks pointed out in another comment). The product is fantastic. It does everything I hoped it would do.
