The exciting **boat restoration project** of the **NAB 17** has officially kicked off for 2025! Despite freezing temperatures making **fiberglass repairs** impossible, our restoration efforts are full steam ahead with creative problem-solving and determination. This episode dives into key elements of the restoration process, focusing on designing and building moulds for a custom **live bait tank**, a critical addition for any sea fishing enthusiast. We’re also tackling **bulkhead moulds** and reinforcing the **gunnels** with sturdy gussets to ensure the boat's structural integrity and durability.
When working on boat repairs and restorations, cold weather can pose significant challenges. Fiberglass work requires precise conditions to properly cure, but that hasn’t slowed us down. Instead, we’re embracing the opportunity to focus on innovative interior solutions that will prepare the NAB 17 for its next chapter. Whether you’re passionate about **boat repairs**, enjoy learning how to upgrade and modify a vessel, or simply love following restoration journeys, this video is packed with tips, tricks, and insights to inspire your own projects.
From designing the perfect **live bait tank** to solving challenges with bulkheads and gunnels, this episode has something for everyone who loves **sea fishing**, **boat restoration**, or DIY boat projects. We’ll share practical techniques, creative problem-solving strategies, and design ideas to help you push through adverse conditions and keep your boating dreams alive.
Follow along as we transform the NAB 17 into a seaworthy masterpiece. Don’t forget to share this video with fellow boaters, fishing enthusiasts, and restoration fans.
