I have 4lb test clear fluoro on my ultralight trout rig but I just hate how difficult it is to tie my knots or thread it through a bobber. Thinking about swapping it just to make my life easier when tying knots. Great video! Thanks!

Thank's for the video!

Best answer to the question I’ve found. Well done Sir!

Have you ever had the boat turn brown after you put the stripper on?

$200. When ? In 1975 ? Those 12 spray cans of paint is more than half that amount 😱

People please use Aluminum Oxide sanding discs can get at Harbor Freight, dont use sand paper, also use Marine Paint. DO NOT USE NON MARINE PAINT ON A BOAT.... Unless you want lung cancer use pink filters ONLY for sanding, do not use pink filters for painting. Use the appropriate white filters for painting..

hey boss, what kind of composite board was that? thank you

Здравствуйте а дно не красите у лодки ?

What paint should one use ifnthey were to paint the bottom?

Late to the party - but wanted to add something: I really don't see the advantage of reeling up with the line coming of the spool in the same direction as the rotation of the bail arm. Firstly, filler spools are usually much larger in diameter than the spool of the reel - especially close to the arbor. So at best you are getting somwhat reduced line twist, never zero. Secondly, if you manage to spool up with no line twist whatsoever (using a drill with the spool attached and 'manually ' winding it on, for example), well, then you will have the line twisting as it comes off the spool during casting. And if you ever need to remove line twist and you let the line float down a river or you cast on a field, remove the weight and reel back in while holding the line under tension between your fingers (so it can untwist) - well, then you are in the same boat as if you had spooled up the line coming straight of the spool in the first place

I'm officially confused. LOL I have spoken to Rustoleum here in Australia about using their paint on my aluminum tinny and they say not to use it. I have spoken to two different people at their office, and both gave me the same answer "We don't recommend it and you should use marine paint" ARGHhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Great content man. Keep it up.

Great video and great job.

Does it leak? I have an old 12 foot aluminum boat, no drain plug and it takes on water

I hope it was an etching primer

Steel wire brush on aluminum is an invitation for galvanic corrosion between steel and aluminum. You should have used aluminum oxide sanding pads. Your respirator filters do nothing for paint fumes. Those filters are for dust particles only.

just wow I learned so many things. tyvm

Do I need all that stuff? Like what’s not needed?

Great info but....Less than $200.00 ? Would like to shop where this gut does.

Great info! I have a spinning setup my main line is 10lb mono and my leader is 6lb fluro is that fine that my main line is 10lb mono I’ll be fishing ponds and lakes for stock rainbow and brown trout on and off shore and some times some little rivers and creeks I also will be using Carolina rigs or rigs with weights using worms and powerbait and the water is clear and kinda stained would this setup work?

Man when was this video made? Try and buy that material in todays time! (×3)

Can I use colormaxx fusion instead? It is more readily available

Why didn't I see this earlier - I used paint stripper and they are 50 dollars each. but still not working as good.

Wtf no

Here's a tip, prior to painting, put hot tap water in a bucket then set your rattle cans of paint inside , shake cans and repeat until cans are warm, the paint will atomize and flow way better plus every bit of the paint will be used! Especially if you use bedliner or undercoat paint.

Great results, really like the color. I have an old aluminum boat, and she looks rough, but I am too sentimental to paint her. The faded paint is from being out in the summer sun on high adventures. The dents and dings are stories and character of a boat that has stories to tell. Big fish have been caught and even bigger fish got away for next time 😊

I'm using 6# mono. For your average trouts small mouth bass. Is that good? 😅

You need charcoal filters for spray painting not p100s

Stainless steel will corrode aluminum.

Always hook a safety chain to your boat motor.

I've owned several aluminum boats in my lifetime and I even camouflaged a few that I hunted out of. I never repainted any of the others, because the factory paint was still in good condition. My last boat, a 14 foot Proline V-bottom, has no paint at all. This is the way it came from the factory and since I no longer hunt, I like it. When I first bought it (used) I replaced the wooden seat tops and they now have side by side pine 2X10's left natural and painted with clear a spar urethane. I just buffed the aluminum a little to make it shine and it looks great. After looking at many boats since then, I've come to realize that I'm the only person on my lake that has an unpainted aluminum boat!

Great video. What needs to be done prior to check for leaks in the rivets and welds?

GREAT VIDEO BUT ONE THING YOU HARDLY HEAR ABOUT IS WHERE SHOULD YOU START THE KNOT AT THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF THE SPOOL WHEN STARTING OUT

Orange strip is great stuff for an Aluminum boat. Gluvit or Total Boat aluminum epoxy will seal up the bottom seams and rivets. Just in case. Primer, paint, done. Never, ever, ever use Flex-seal on your boat.

Great video! I can’t wait to redo my old aluminum boat now! Thanks

A couple of cans of Rust-Oleum Bed Liner sprayed on the floor now wouldn't hurt.

Very informative thank you

I'm thinking of using monofilament green #4, with a 4# fluorocarbon leader. Although that leader might be too heavy to suspend much.

This is awesome and helpful.

Look at the color of the water. In cedar Water which is dark, a green line is fine. Use a small sinker because trout with take you to the rocks and near the edge. Split shot sinkers are fine and you can take them off or put more on easily. Trout like most fish, like movement.. I always prefer live bait mostly Canadian nightcrawlers that are left long,

I always use Power Pro and according to the weight of the fish. It'can through lily pads easily and some logs. It's strong but if it gets caught in a tree, you have to cut the line. Lake trout are much bigger and I don't fly fish, When in streams, it is natural for trout to move swiftly through the water.

This was a great job done to an old aluminum boat. Given today prices this is the way to go!!!

I'd have used a pressure washer before the stripper and to remove the stripper after it did it's work. Nice video!

wow really great job . i like the idear of stripping the paint off ,great information thank you for shairing

Thanks for sharing, doing the same thing to a 1966 mirrocraft 14ft aluminum boat right now.

It would be best if you never sandblasted an alloy boat. It destroys the integrity of the aluminium and effectively blows "grit" into the pores of the metal. People think it’s preparing a surface; it's not true… Let's delve into the fascinating world of chemistry. When oxygen in our atmosphere interacts with aluminium, a reaction occurs. This reaction manifests as a discolouration of the metal. It's the metal's way of trying to form a protective oxide layer... If you paint the alloy surface, this aluminium dioxide will eventually reject any paint applied to the metal. Metals need to be sealed to separate the Oxygen from the alloy. Polish, even the excellent carnauba wax, will also be rejected from the aluminium. Aluminium needs to be sealed, and some space products are now available. Google ‘marine clear coat’ - avoid urethanes - those are not UV-stable so that they will crack. That crack allows the ingress of water, and again, you get bubbles under your paint. The best polymers we have found are made in the USA. One is attributed to projects for NASA. The greenish marks on the metal are, I think, Zinc Chromate, which is old-school aircraft protection paint. Still used today but the clear coat polymers are better.

Just wondering if perhaps I should consider getting a can of Gluvit for the rivets and seams. Yes it will definitely increase the cost of the project as Gluvit is not cheap. 😏

Nice video. I have restored the inside of my boat and ready for the outside. This video will help me tremendously. Big thanks!

This is pretty much the same method I used on my boat. Mine is a 16' and I painted the inside a matte gray and the outside a semi-gloss red. I also chose to leave the bottom unpainted as that was where the most wear would be. It's been good to go with no scratches since 2021.

With all the work people put into painting and then paint it RED the worst color as it fades in short period of time now they end with a crappie red
