  • Jon boat builds will never be the same after this. On this journey of building aluminum boats into ultimate fishing rigs, I always try to raise the bar higher and higher. This 1648 jon boat is my chance to showcase almost a decade of experience, knowledge and skills learned. We also have a master class coming out for it! Stay tuned. All products used to build this boat are linked to this video.

    I've been watching your builds and other's for a couple years. I've always thought the pour foam being sealed off from the bilge and sides was a good idea but nobody seemed to be doing it. This is the best build yet. You've come a long way since the pool noodles.

    Someone needs to get this guy the funding, the facility, and the team he needs to just become a full on boat manufacturer.
    Production models of boats this quality could turn the small fishing boat industry on its head, depending on their retail price

    • @russellwest236
      @russellwest236 2 місяці тому

      Regardless of the price it will turn the industry on its head as there is nothing quite like this out there. He could be designing a fold out clamshell unit that drops from a helecopter for Navy Seals to use. The space savings and attention to detail continually blow my mind. I went to Industrial Design School, and alot of my projects ended up like this: a perfect blend of art and engineering. Great stuff.

    Again, an awesome build that showcases your highly developed skills proven over time. I have always wanted to learn how to weld. Kudos to you for taking the time to learn. I've said it before, you make it look easy. I appreciate what you do and the content you provide on your channel.

    Can you do a short video on electronics and there requirement as far as voltages, batteries, on board chargers, switches, fuses, ect. I love the videos I want you to geek out on electronics why someone would choose the things and why the put it together like that. Maybe use this boat as an example.

      Those are all Marine grade nylon connectors. I wouldn’t recommend them for saltwater, but there are no problems with freshwater applications. You can use either nylon or heat connectors in these cases

    Where are you out of? The spot you work out of looks like the residential lots in Phoenix (due to all the gravel I see in the landscaping) where my brother lives, but I was out to lunch with a metals rep from Haggerty Steel in the Quad Cities (where hwy 80 crosses the mississippi) the other day and he said he supplies your stuff? Are you in Illinois?

      It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
      Theodore Roosevelt

    • @aloexpp6805
      @aloexpp6805 Місяць тому

      It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.
