Thanks brotha

I really liked the offset live well, that really worked out well! This build is going to be another Tricked Tins Classic, can't wait to see the finished build! Great job, Matt, keep up the great content!

What size of rivet do you use to secure the floor back down? Currently in the process of pulling mine to remove old foam.

@@TRICKEDTINS thank you! Assuming stainless ? I've seen some guys say aluminum works better to avoid corrosion but seems backwards to me. I am trying to find the ones youre talking about, do you special order them or is there a link? TIA

Love your channel. Never miss an episode. ..... " DUDE "...... your white Tricked Tin shirts are bad ass !! Sick !! Lightweight, breathable & stretchy !! I bought 2. May invest again !! Hate to bother you but I'm ignorant in the working of the live well, pumps, inflow, overflow, and prolly the bilge pump flows as well. I wonder if there's a link you could share to the directions of flow, and why and how and complete description of the systems involved. It's muscle memory for you and your brain but I've never owned a motor boat (fishing boat) until recently and am restoring it now. It's not something you'd work on but it's a Lone*Star 14'/54" alum. rivet boat w/ a 71' Evinrude 9.5 hp motor. I stripped it, Gator Glide'd the bottom, re-painted the sides, have Reg. #, boat name ("8th day") and Lone*Star logo stickers all printed up. Painted the inside w/ Tuff Coat & a new (wooden ... inside and out) transom made of Wenge (fiberglass resin coated). I'm going to frame out the floor between the front & middle & middle & back benches for an alum. floor. Might make a bow deck of some sort as well but seriously thinking about a live well and want a bilge pump for sure & for certain. Anyway, AWESOME WORK MAN, and thanks for your generous consideration, Sincerely ....................... "Geaux Tigers" L.S.U. ... Steph

@@TRICKEDTINS ... sure do appreciate the reply and the offer. But, I know you're busy and I didn't want to bother you in explaining it to me yourself. You can see I'm long winded. I just thought you might know a link that you could send w/ out taking too much of your time. I'll research it more and maybe if I do run into something in my restoration that wouldn't take to much of your time to answer I'll hit you up. For now , get back to work and try to stay cool this summer. Love the fishing w/ your kids video. God bless, Sincerely ................

You are inspiring and a straight out Pro!!! Love the Channel and Merch

The foam is a coast guard regulation. They have to add it to get the coast guard approval.

Obviously, but they could use something that doesn't absorb water...

@TRICKEDTINS I'm not sure what else could be used in a rapid manufacturing process. Better drainage would be nice, but most foam will gather water at some point. There is a bunch of foam even in fiberglass boats.

Higher quality closed cell foam is more dense but doesn’t water log as easliy

@@TRICKEDTINS does tracker use “closed cell foam”? Is this the same kind that is in weldbilt boats?

@topsecretmx5142

Жыл бұрын

They probably use closed cell foam but then cut it which completely negates the closed cell part and allows it to absorb water. My older mirrorcraft used closed cell foam the put the foam in a trash bag when pouring allowing it to spread but not close off channels in the hull and it was dry 20+ years later sitting outside.

What hp motor would you recommend for a decked out Jon boat?

Everybody round here runs 9.9 with 20hp ecu. We have motor restricted lakes. I'd recommend a 30-40 if you can get away with it.

Those bottom through hull welds are important. I always crank my heat up and let her eat on those! Literally takes less than a minute to weld.

Remind me to never buy another Tracker boat. I had one a bunch of years ago, didn't like it, sold it, and now I see this.....pitiful.

I agree man. Ive had 3 and I love my pt190. The revolutionary welded hull is spot on. The only downfall is the foam.
