    I was a truck driver. Came in off the road. Wanted to relax. Backed my pick up into the back yard to hook up the boat. It was gone.Wife sold it. Said it sits for a month at a time. Told her So do you! Got rid of the wife and got a new boat.! Living happily ever after !!!

    You did an amazing job. I have been building boats for the last 3 years and have always been around boats and fishing since I was 5. I can relate with you on a lot of this. Built 4 boats already. However be careful because it's addicting and frustrating... A year ago I gave up at one point and found myself at Cabela's dropping 30k on a bass boat... Amen to the wives that let us do these things. We own 5 boats and I want more LOL

    For anybody looking to do this I would suggest you get as wide a boat as your budget allows. You see folks doing 14x36 boats and I can tell you from experience those boats are very tippy and wobbly and can be easily considered dangerous when you get those high decks on them. You heard him say himself his boat is very wobbly.

    Beautiful job! Should be proud of your work. Thanks for sharing some great ideas. I have a new 1542 and am torn of how to make it ideal for both fishing and family cruising (20hp makes it scoot, troller helps my son and I pretend to catch fish). Might start with a rear deck like yours and some nice carpeted floor boards in middle and front like your middle section.

    • @take2fishing
      @take2fishing  4 роки тому +1

      HEY Brad and thanks for watching this Video. Man what a great comment to read for sure. I like your Idea about a back deck to start. Once you've completed it you can take the boat out and see how it handles for you. Then think about your next move. But great idea to get what works best for you and family.

    Really nice looking finished project! I’m curious how much weight all the wood added. I noticed someone asked how much lower it sits in the water. When my father and I converted a 16-foot SeaArk tunnel hull jon boat, we used heavy-gauge aluminum (welded) for the front and rear decks and the floor. And instead of carpet used marine vinyl flooring. Set up was slightly different with a side console for running and just two high-back removable seats for fishing. (one front with trolling motor and one on back deck) But with an older 2-stroke 70 hp motor, could run inshore on a plane with half a crab trap showing. Man I miss that boat!
