Can someone please call 911! I'm having another heart-a-yak! Just when I think I have recovered from the previous video and think there's nothing more he can do! He brings it to another magnificent level. It's ingenious, thoughtful, inspirational, professional and magnificent. There's a new word definition for this level of craftmanship... Zoffinger! Now he says there's another video coming. Thanks for the warning. .. I'll know to get checked into the clinic beforehand. Marty, this is incredible. You have gone way beyond and I am incredibly grateful. Thank you so much!
Marty I wouldn't be suprised if i walk through Acadamy next year and find all of your innovations on their latest models. I sometimes help with Heros on the water and have met several veterans that would definitely benifit from your desing. You sir are a true craftsman; a bit lax on the safety side for my taste but a great builder non the less. Keep the videos coming I don't miss a single one!
Marty back at it again with the DIY! I've seen this kayak in person and it exceeded my expectations. The seat was super comfortable and the work he's done to the yak is magnificent. I would hope kayak companies view these videos and would give Marty a chance to "Pimp a Yak".
Awesome Job Marty, I am sure everyone one of us will re-watch this series over and over and copy every thing you did..Love it..those pontoons put all of ours to shame time for me to make some new ones....
Great video. Some tips from fiberglass enthusiast: Epoxy resin will not melt the styrofoam and puts off less fumes. Recommend 3 or 4 layers of the glass that you are using. Laminate resin, then sanding resin on top. One sand job and one layer of sanding resin to finish it off. Should not need 20 layers of resin (too heavy). Keep in mind that sanding resin should not be applied on top of another layer of sanding resin unless thoroughly sanded.
For smaller projects like pontoons you may want to try a pneumatic palm DA sander if you're so equipped. It won't eliminate the need for hand sanding, but it will make short work of sanding. Proper respirator is a must as well as a paper suit.
I had a great time talking and listening to you at the meet and fish! Unfortunately I flipped my kayak when a speeding boat went by and lost all my rods, wallet, phone, etc... also because of my loss I will miss out on the H.O.W. event on Oct. 1. But it was worth it to get to meet and talk! I will be modifying my kayak before any more trips. So maybe next spring will be better!! (after pontoons and seat!)
I thoroughly enjoy your episodes and look forward to them daily. Sounds like you are headed toward a lifestyle I envisioned 35 years ago, only difference, I was married. Be careful, the main purpose for women is to change men to their liking.... and they have devious ways to do it.
man you are awesome. I'm an artist myself and I love sculpting. I work a lot in clay. but watching you customize this kayak is just so inspiring. it's awork of art. great job man. love your channel. I'm hoping to move to Florida one day, it's on my bucket list. have a great week.
I used to build large Shrimp tanks out of a Styrofoam Material down in Fla in the 90s , it came in 4'×8' sheets which could be bought 1" all the way up to 6" thick and the fiberglass & resin could be applied directly The Company I worked for used to ship Jumbo Shrimp Live from Florida to Manhattan And California We used to bring the shrimp temp down to almost Hypothermia temps while shipping my boss would never tell us What the water coolers temp were and they would be Shipped live by air all over the United states and put into Tanks in very expensive restaurants, They would come back to life My boss was the only person doing this and was a Multi Millionaire from doing this Great video..Just subscribed, ps I think the material could be ordered from Home Depot or Lows, I don't remember which one
Oh my god Marty I was so into the video for the fishing part of the meet and greet and then it was the end of the video lol keep it up man I love your videos
love it how you eyeball everything. I do the same thing. people will ask me what the measurements are on something and I have no idea. I just made it fit. lol.
Marty, love watching your videos!!! Been looking into kayaks for years now, came close to buying one but life called and that had to wait but getting close to FINALLY buying my first kayak at age 39 :) can't wait to get on the water! You're less than 4 hours away from me, would be cool to fish together someday. Keep up the good work!
Hey Marty, I bet you'll miss your workshop once you go and live on the boat. ;) You'll miss not being able to tinker, unless of course, you hire a U-Store it shed and keep IT as your workshop.
Marty, your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. Entertaining video. I'm planning a Yak trip to Clearwater/ Tampa area, do you have any recommendations for intercoastal day trips?
You are a freaking genus. Why don't you start a business doing custom kayaks and accessories like this? You could make a fortune off the ideas you have!
You should try using a roller next time to get the air bubbles out before it set up it makes the fairing process easier and makes a stronger part. you can also put wax paper over the glass before it cures and then use a dry plastic spreader to to work out the air bubbles. like videos you have some good ideas. Cheers!
Hi Marty If you want to really get those spontoons smooth use auto body filler over the glass and sand it smoothhhh. Then paint it. There are some brands that are waterproof.
The kayak is looking great. Marty, you have gone above and beyond on this build. Patrick is gonna love it.

Well said, good sir. I cannot but wholeheartedly agree.

best part of the week is always your upload!
Great craftsmanship. I really like those rails and paddle rest for standing up - excellent idea.

Looking very cool Marty, Patrick will be styling out on the water!! fish on!
Marty please be safe outhere with the storm keep making those awsome videos everyone loves
Marty, you could be the swiss army knife kayak maker! He ought really like it when you are done!
Awesome Job Marty, I am sure everyone one of us will re-watch this series over and over and copy every thing you did..Love it..those pontoons put all of ours to shame time for me to make some new ones....
Fiberglass is some gnarly stuff, my grandfather got emphysema from years and years of building boats in Miami and Venezuela.

That extended wrench was ingenious! Kayak is looking awesome. Can't wait for the maiden voyage.
I am developing a much greater appreciation of the hard work and dedication you apply to your videos....thanks for doing what you do,
I had a great time talking and listening to you at the meet and fish!

But it was worth it to get to meet and talk! I will be modifying my kayak before any more trips. So maybe next spring will be better!! (after pontoons and seat!)
Now that is what I call, dedication to detail. I loath working with fiberglass. Looks great, though.
Marty; you went above and beyond your duty. you are a truly genius!!!! Great job, keep the videos coming.
I thoroughly enjoy your episodes and look forward to them daily. Sounds like you are headed toward a lifestyle I envisioned 35 years ago, only difference, I was married. Be careful, the main purpose for women is to change men to their liking.... and they have devious ways to do it.
Man this guy is a freakin Genius. Seriously. Is there anything he can’t build . Love the videos . Awesome work man
It's going to be so cool. Nice job. Can't wait to see it action.
Thanks Marty for another interesting kayak build video keep up all your great videos, well done.
I really love the homemade wrench idea for usage on the unreachable interior parts of a kayak! Definitely going to use that idea!! Thanks Zoff!!!
man you are awesome. I'm an artist myself and I love sculpting. I work a lot in clay. but watching you customize this kayak is just so inspiring. it's awork of art. great job man. love your channel. I'm hoping to move to Florida one day, it's on my bucket list. have a great week.
Getting mighty close to 100k subs!! Well done, Marty!
Really enjoyed part 7. Can't wait to see it all come together.

Hey Marty, I bet you'll miss your workshop once you go and live on the boat. ;) You'll miss not being able to tinker, unless of course, you hire a U-Store it shed and keep IT as your workshop.
Marty, your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. Entertaining video. I'm planning a Yak trip to Clearwater/ Tampa area, do you have any recommendations for intercoastal day trips?
I also love inventing things for my kayak.👍
Great video keep up the great work!
Excellent job Marty!
Inspiring video! Thanks!
Awesome work mate fair play.
Your one bad dude... I live in Texas..Wish i could've made that meet and greet. One Day...
watching this build has been awesome. lol i almost don't want to see it get completed.
I'm telling you brother... go for PVC pipe and boom! Done deal.
Thanks for sharing!
GREAT JOB just WOW!!
Marty keep safe in this weather man!
You are a freaking genus. Why don't you start a business doing custom kayaks and accessories like this? You could make a fortune off the ideas you have!
You added a walker to a kayak.... Ahahahahahahahahaha
youre so talented that I think you should start your own business and call it Marty's Custom Kyak's!
Muito bacana ! Gosto muito dos seus vídeos e principalmente do espírito deles ! abc Roger
A work of art
Love the video can't wait to see the meet and greet and the delivery of the yak to the winner
Love it Marty!
You should try using a roller next time to get the air bubbles out before it set up it makes the fairing process easier and makes a stronger part. you can also put wax paper over the glass before it cures and then use a dry plastic spreader to to work out the air bubbles. like videos you have some good ideas. Cheers!
Awesome job! What's the height of the grab handles and the self? Wanting to try this on my yak .
How can you give this away after all this care and effort?! Your a good man Marty
It would be cool if the stainless steel was on the other side, so that way he had a little bait prep station
Nice crowd Marty!
it's so awesome!
Hi Marty
If you want to really get those spontoons smooth use auto body filler over the glass and sand it smoothhhh. Then paint it. There are some brands that are waterproof.
nice work. You should take them or do it yourself and make molds of the pontoons. Then you can just glass the inside of the mold.
I see all your videos and i like your kayak and how you fish
Just heard about the hurricane, stay safe bud!!
Pleeeease post you my favorite person to watch on UA-cam and I've already seen all of your videos!! 😭😭😭
Now,your just building a fort.
cara dia ubah kayak tu jd serba serbi ada..sempoii bhaq hang
Ran into Zoffinger today prepping for Hurricane Matthew. Lets go fishing
Crap you keep secrets when you see you're doing meet and greets with the fans, I'll be there next time for sure.
Killer Great Job
I have a question how much would you charge me to make stabilizers for my kayak
so awesome.
I'm gonna try to make some pontoons like this
I was having a withdrawal from you not posting buddy, finally got my fix today haha. #SaltLife #TightLines
stay safe with the hurricane coming Good luck
Great work Marty the recipient will be floored . What's the status on the big boat ?
