Nice video. I purchased a Dixie bluefin few years ago . Bad engine and a leaves were probably a foot deep . The wife thought I was crazy for bringing it home . I completely redone it and it gets more conversation than any boat on lake . I believe it’s the only walk around in our area . We love it including the wife lol.
Really nice build, I love seeing old boats brought back to life. I have three that I am working on but they are more major refits. The hardest part here, is finding a good used motor for a decent price. I think my next project I am going to go with one more like this without all the major repairs and quicker turnaround. Great video and love the lights.
Your videos are so fun to watch! Thanks for posting the boat "flips". Not sure how others feel, but I would enjoy seeing a time line, or an explanation of how long these projects take to achieve. Congratulations on your channels success! This is good content, keep up the good work!
Nice choice of words 😂
Imagination, skill and a good work ethic.
You have it in spades, which is why your videos are so enjoyable!
Thank you for making this video, your refurbishment of older, neglected, but otherwise good boats is excellent, and will encourage others to do the same, thereby extending the lives of these craft, and the pleasure and usefulness they give.
Awesome job on that boat. I'm about to buy my first boat and been watching your videos. Makes me feel like I kinda know what I'm doing and should be easy to fix when I have to! Keep it up!
Really awesome that you guys give these older boats a second shot at life out on the water. Always enjoy your videos and you convinced me to refurb our boat!
You guys do great work! It’s awesome to watch you resurrect these boats. Keep the videos coming!
Please stop making great videos. I was up until 4am watching and had to leave the house at 6:30 for work. Thanks a lot. Here I am watching again. As long as you keep making videos I will never get any sleep. Cut me some slack!
All B.S. aside, I think what you do is cool as a cucumber. Keep up the great work,
Is it possible to purchase one of the refurbished boats.
Fantastic deal and good job! Your videos are very entertaining. I like the fact that you make them short and sweet and don't drag them to additional videos, although I am sure some jobs make it necessary. I would still watch them from beginning to end though. Thanks for the price breakdown.
Bro that thing is MONEY. The resale on those restored is insane. People love those things. That was a great boat.
I love this .I live in San Diego for last 48 years..I have had boats (dont now)up till last year.5 years I worked as deck hand on sport fishing boat and hired out to do boat work in the off season.needless to say I truly
Like your vid's.make alot more soon.all the best to you.
Great Mini! I've had several. Imported and restored them. Tons of fun.
Good job refurbishing the boats. Try some Toon Brite with a Scotch pad on your trailers to make them shine.
Guessing, Bay Pines ramp? I'm in Riverview and used it to go out John's Pass
John Wren ,noticed the Mini as it's what I do for a living in the UK. Tupmans Minis
I was shocked to see that. I believe its a Mini Innocenti from italy. Really just a rebadged regular Mini.
Thanks for sharing - great job restoring - boat came out nice!
I’ve been building outboards for 16 years the ox66 is a great motor , one of the best ever !
Nice job on that boat. Not keen on those paint flicks in the cabin. I would have painted it over. The hatch is an emergency exit and also to let heat out. A tip if you do another floor like that, put full boards at either ends and work to the centre, that is where your filler strip goes. If you reduce a few strips by a quarter inch, your filler will be the corresponding amount wider, so not as noticeable. Lift your ladder and secure with a strap when underway. Good luck with the next project.
It's funny because on another boat they did that on purpose. It's not to everybody's taste but I don't think it's horrible.
awesome job, you guys really cleaned this boat up nice. i love watching videos exactly like this so make more
Killer video on a killer boat build. All she needs are a few electronics.
I have that exact boat and it is currently at a local boat shop for a repower. Getting a new Suzuki 200 hp. It is a very solid boat. The old motor is an Evinrude 200 HP. It was sitting in my yard for 4 years unused and I recently decided to bring it back to life. Thanks for this video and some great ideas.
I think you and your friend have a good thing going! You two are a great team! Only thing, if I done it, I would have restrained the cabinet in the cabin. Compared to all the rest you did it looks really sad. Thx great video!
Good work. I'm not in to cabin boats but I like this one for some strange reason. Really like the stance, angles of this one.
Sounds like you live on I-95
man this is awesome!!! you should do a video to educate first time boat buyers. what to look for and what would be a cheap fix and what would be an expensive fix.
Great job guys.. I am 33 been out work recently due stupid autoimmune really kicking my butt. Love fishand cuddy cabin boat like you all do. I really enjoy your videos hopefully I can return to work soon and get a boar like this one. Keep the video coming again really enjoy them all!!
Excellent job bringing a nice boat back to life. Keep up the good work!
Great guy, great job too, I'm so addicted to your ingeniousness, keep the good work going, God bless
Front hatch is if you are piloting and someone is in the cabin coming to dock , the person in the cabin can just climb out and tie off . Or if you want to drop anchor , works same way . Loved that feature on my old boat .
Liking what y'all are doing. Got a project myself. Slowly getting it done but running into problem after problem
I have that same boat, it's a 1988. Painted with white Awlgrip. Replaced all of the teakwood with Starboard. Installed a 2 stroke 250 hp Mercury . It will do 50 MPH.
I bet many of us would like to see a vid of your boat
Aquasports are a known quality hull("hull truth"). Good choice with that I agree. Was looking at a well duded out Grady White a while back for an entry level off shore ride. Not a fan of the over the top new machines on the market currently although the new motors are very nice these days for repower.
Great boat guys i have a northbank 550 cuddy cab and i like installing thing in the boat myself like deck wash live well tank spot lights i bought a hydraulic steering kit i got the noat mechanic to istall as the motor had to be taken off enjoy the boat cheers.
Love this. Post more of the labor please I really wanna buy a project boat and would love ideas on how you do it. Looks beautiful!
The videos would be hours long lol
I see you have my babyfishkiller hat. That’s awesome. Great job on the boat💪👍
He wouldn't stop talking about the damn hat lol
Where do u sell them?
That Aquasport has all the qualities to make a beautiful boat , but what I really liked was that beast V6 outboard motor , that Yamaha is a powerful class act , one of the best made outboard motors
She should really move with that 200 hp
Aquasport was a direct competitor of the Boston Whaler boats
Of course Boston Whaler made some great boats but they were more expensive
I like the walk around cuddy cabin layout
You get almost a big center console and a cuddy which is really nice
Thanks for a great video
One of my favorite boats yet I wish I had the top platform I like the way the door opened up in the front for extra air and the windows good job guys
Great job. Perfect for a new owner to come in and finish her. I enjoyed your video alot.
I see this on Marketplace. Nice flip man!
That engine you bought is probably the best money can buy, they are fantastic engines, extremely reliable.
Full cut and polish? Just finishing a 1971 steadcraft 16, she looks beautiful.
WOW sir.....u n ur buddy r such patient artist ....i appreciate ur videos so much sir! Um shocked @ how fast dat engine started up....oh my! Keep up da great work....n until da next fantastic video....u guys take er easy n God bless u n ur family!!
I’m having a stroke reading this.
I’ve seen you do several bottom paint jobs. I’d like to see how you move the boat on the trailer to get where the trailer bunks are.
I would like to see you take the covers off the motors that you work on and I have a Mercury motor on my boat and I am having a problem trying to get it started I think it’s a Mercury 190.
What did you use to fill in the gashes?
The gashes are typically filled in with a two-part epoxy you can get it at most marine supply stores. Or you could just use JB Weld. And bottom painting under the bunks is done by jacking the boat up a few inches. You do this by lowering the tongue all the way down. Putting cement or wood blocks under the elevated rear corners of the boat covered by cushions. I use old towels. Then bring the trailer tongue back up to max, and prop up the front sort of like the back. I use a v shaped plywood rest on top of blocks to stabilize the bow. Level the trailer out and you should have a few inches to work that paint in there. Hope it helps. Aquasports rock!
James Shelnutt easy, jack up the front with boat stands under the back, then pull the trailer out and set the front on some blocks
@James Shelnutt go to 11:11 and look at that wooden contraption in the bed of his truck my bet is that he uses that under the middle of the boat and uses a jack under it to lift it up.
The hatch up front is an emergency exit for the cabin. Guess the usual square hatch didn't fit the look the engineer wanted.
I oddly think this looks better then just some boring square.
You did one hell of a job. And you’ve got one hell of a motor. I have a 94 Yam 150. I’d kill for an 11 year newer yam 200!
Man saying that thing runs really good is an understatement...that 200 purrrs. Love the drone shots!
Have done a couple myself. Great little way to make money. So many boats sitting in people’s yards unused for years. Elbow grease and some new gear makes it like new. Better than new to me because I’ll never buy a new boat.
This is the value and the family time is priceless.
Great video, great job cleaning up what is a really nice boat. That boat should handle choppy waters with ease! Cheers
Have a 1990 21XF Aquasport, great overall design in my opinion. Nice work cleaning up and repowering!
Man!
You get some really good deals out there bro..........what are planning to ask for that baby?
Hey bro,..great upload again as always...
How fast did she go wen you got on the water? You normally do a speed test but not this time...
Keep up the brilliant work😀
@ 20 min mark it sounds like the engine was breaking up some from a misfire or fouled plugs or something. I have a Yami 200 I know what they sound like. Probably wouldn’t hit a top speed and didn’t wanna advertise that as I’m sure he’s selling it. I’m sure it was fixed before sold
I've seen people in north Texas asking $4,500 for much less nice boats with only 40 - 50 hp motors. There is something about the area in which you guys live that has a lively market for good used boats, fairly cheap, and easy to renovate if you have a good work ethic, elbow grease and a basic knowledge of outboard diagnosis and repair. God on you, guy, this is one of my fave channels.
Looks like the boat turned out to be on its second chance ...Txs for sharing...
great job dude, nice little rig for someone, motor sounds nice. well done.
Nice job again, boat looks good, nice Yamaha outboard 👌👍✌
You are Amazing Eric. Thank you for your Great Videos and teacher us !
Awesome job! I am also a restorer and have found that little details make big difference in maximizing ROI. For example the drawers in the cabin could have been stained to look new and the striping on the exterior of the boat would have provided a nice touch if repainted. Little things like that make a restoration pop!
Excellent job love your channel
Absolutely!
You read my mind! Why stain all the other woodwork so beautifully and leave that small area unfinished?
Hey, new subscriber here.
Watched several vids. Love them. Only one request. Please discuss your costs with more detail during the videos. Thanks! Good luck with the channel!
I really enjoy your videos. The work you do is amazing. I would like to know how you sell your completed projects. I have always liked the walk around cutty's.
Hey bro!
Even if u still have to work to the small details,ur boat remains a vvvery nice one.
Succes nd greetings from a romanian living in Germany!
Hi; could you share some of the products, how you go about fixing some of the issues you've encountered...Thank you Phenomenal Job
I like the bench seat/hatch on the bow. Most boats with a vberth have escape hatches but nevet seen one that doubles as a seat. Clever!
Amazing boat! You did a great job. I have a 19’ Manatee that resembles that. Poor mans version I guess, but thank you, you’ve just re-inspired me to follow through with my project.
Great find and great job! Congratulations!
Loved the video and the boat work. Can we also get a fix up video of that sweet little Mini Cooper
Please don't stain the wood -- it's teak. sand it and use tung oil on it. That has been the classic treatment for teak for several hundred years.
Tom Herbert you won’t like me on my 1977 searay my wood was going bad cracking, chunks missing ,as well I sand and oiled but it was still not good so I filled in cracked and missing bits and primed and applied a black satin industrial coating . If in the future I get some time in the winter I may purchase some new wood and hand rub and oil it . But over all my faded but mechanical well taken care of Omc 351 powered searay turned out as good a results as this video and it came with a HD tandem axel trailer with surge brakes and all electronics some tools full subrella top that was badly stained and moss on it ( stitched a few seams and washed top and refinished it )1800 .oo Canadian and only used in fresh water and marina Serviced for 12 years including a full rebuild of complete out drive on the Omc out drive
I second that!
I was horrified when I watch the other video and I heard him say they were going to stain the wood....
lol right??
whos going to spend the time to lick that much wood?! :o
Sweet boat guys and good work btw where do you get the lead strip lights from? Thanks kb
Another awesome video, as always, keep them coming 👍
Great buy repowering made the boat.used motor prices are so expensive here on cape cod your yamaha was a deal ,keep up the good work
Cool seeing an old boat given some more time on the water!!
Hey brother great job !!
Where do you guys post the boats for sale when you're done with them ?
Would love to look at some of the ones you have finished for sale.
Another great restore. Bay Pines is a great place to launch from.
Nicely done. That boat turned out great.
That front escape hatch is in case of fire on the stern of the boat...from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠
I have the same boat. Thats for storage, someone cut the bottom out.
Like your content. Keep up the great work. I see a boat on the side of the road and wonder what it would take to fix it up. Thank you
Congratulations...excelent work in your boat. enjoy
Great work, but I hope the bilge pump is a beast because I would suspect the gas tank covering boards wont be water tight.
Good job! How do you paint the bottom of the boat in the areas of where the trailer is in contact? do you have to lift the boat for that?
Great job.. I wish i could restore something like this because i love to turn the rock into the diamond.. I like to watch the difference when it still ugly and the thing after being restored.. 🥰🥰
You seem to find lots of that style boat. It’s simple and great
Always so keen to see your next uploads
Really glD to see you give these older boats motors etc. A second chance !!!!
Exelente restauración 👍 FELICIDADES 👍 saludos desde República Dominicana 🇩🇴👍🐟🦈🐬
Great video ,lovely boat! I think you should name it "WOT KNOT" 😁
😂
How about "Stolen goods" like my comment?
I can’t stop hearing that
overall nice boat, what do you use to clean up the hull like that?
Out of all the boats you fixed up this is one of favorites good fun in the water👍👍👍👍👍
Man i cant take this anymore the envy factor is thru the roof the prices ur buying the boats at are mind blowing like ive said before boat prices in Australia are BS a total rip off, Eric ur killing it i would change the the rub rail just to complete the clean look good job anyway......do u send to Australia lol.....
Buy the stickers and finish the wood in cabin great job ! After having a 4 stroke Damn that motor is loud ! Tim Nj.
Do you recommend doing this if you do not have much experience with engines/mechanics with a lower budget? Not sure where you find these classic boats for such a cheap price its amazing!
Ufff that street sounds busy, cars every minute
It cleaned up good, the darker bottom paint helps by not having so much baby blue. What brand of paint do you use?
I really enjoyed this video because it has given me a lot enthusiasm in what is possible .
That's a strong motor! Nice boat/ good price.
superb job guys 👍👍 just look at the value you've drawn out of the boat by cleaning labour and few minor repairs that anyone can do😎, apart from the previous owner's that is😥
Nice restoration but you really should have done the exterior graphics and striping and the interior wood work on the cabin cabinets. That would have made it look brand new. Why did you decide not to do these couple things?
Because it wasn't a restoration
Great video, how much was roughly spent on rebuild?
Love what you did with the boat but where im from i would need something with more rod holders and some down riggers for some deep water great lakes fishing
How did you paint where the boat sits on the trailer?
Great video!
Great job!
You made one mistake, a trailered boat should not be bottom painted! It increases weight and drag to slow speed and increase fuel use. It stays on a trailer no need for bottom paint. If you want to paint to pretty it up use Awl grip or Imron. They will keep the speed and not use fuel.
nicely done ! what a sweet little boat !
Brother i love your videos and the're very informative. Could you make a video on how to hook up the oil tank with the wiring?
Great job as usual. I would have done a couple more things to make it perfect. Stain the drawers in the cabin, replace or maybe just remove the crappy vinyl trim panel on the 2 inner sides and remove the decals and paint on new ones. Finally maybe add a bimini if i could find one cheap. My only other comment is like some of the others. How can you buy that motor for $500? And how can you buy that boat and trailer for $1000? I guess things are different down in Florida. A decent running 200 hp Yamaha would fetch at least $5000 up here. The trailer would cost about $1500 and the boat maybe could be had for 2k with the blown motor.
You should show all the engine mounting, wiring, morse cable installations.
As always hitting the 👍on every video so much fun to watch!!
thas nice, looking very good how much will you sale it for . what state are you.
