To many great episodes to narrow down to one, Shane and the boat building was amazing to watch, however all your vendors seem to be the best in the biz, the plumbing and the wiring is art work, LOVE LOVE the boat, very excited to start watching you fish it!! Congrats on a stellar job building this world class boat and for around that $100k mark is the cherry on top.
I watched every video, because I like the channel but also because I was redoing my boat during the same timeline. Glad you are complete and congrats. I went to college in Miami so every time you go out I mostly know all the spots. Congrats to your wife for letting you get on the endeavor of planning a build. Felicidades Papa!
This was a very long journey but well worth it. Those guys built a lifetime boat, just how I would build it, properly. They put in the time, live and tenderness, engineering and professionalism into every step. No corners cut. On this sea trail, the boat looks plain but if people only knew how solid and indestructible it is compared to those dolled up over expensive boats out there. Now you know you have a real beast and a friend below your feet and it will keep you safe from all harm.
I would like to eventually know, as will a lot of other people, what was the final cost breakdown so they too can attempt to venture down this road well traveled by yourself over a year.
There is a sense and level of pride and accomplishment you feel when you do something like this, something the filthy rich will never feel because they don't have to care about cost or even how a boat is built.
Nothing like the satisfaction of a custom boat build to suit your every and specific need for personal and professional use. The nice thing is, you can always keep adding stuff and pimp out your ride as your finances allow you to.
At the end if the day, the results matter. You have a real workhorse, that will not stop, will not give up, will never let you down, will out perform mist boats in its class and even some out of its class.
A charter workhorse and a personal pleasure craft, the journey is not over, it's just begun.
Thank you Captain Mike for taking us o this journey with you and all you have taught us over the years about fishing and boating. Stay safe out there on the water and keep those lines tight.
By far the best episode besides this one would be episode 24. That Mercury will not disappoint. Great choice in power. Once the motor was hung, you could really see the finish line. Can't wait to see what's in store in the future.
Congratulations on the new boat. I'd argue that the electrical work done by kraken marine was by far and away the best episode. After spending countless hours redoing the wiring on my last three boats, I'm a bit jealous to see everything so well payed out.
Congrats on the launch!
Awesome boat!
Have watched every episode.
The nonskid was my favourite episode.
Awesome to see a build with so much thought put into it and quality components.
I just launched my build this week too after a 5 year build time so I know how excited you must be.
I hope you have heaps of fun with her.
Hey Capt. Mike, much deserved congrats!! It turned out awesome! I very much enjoyed enjoyed the electrical work done by Kraken marine. It’s absolutely beautiful. Cudos to him & you for choosing him. Tight lines!
Mike, I liked all your boat build videos but, my favorite is this one, EP 28. I actually felt joy that you are living and finally realizing your dream. The joy you felt with your wife must have been astounding! Now I will like to see your fishing skills and your thorough enjoyment with your family and friends. Thank you for using your skill and heartfelt sincerity sharing this experience and all your videos with us. Well done!
Congrats Mike!!
Gotta say, my favorite episode was the wiring..... maybe i’m biased, but Kraken Marine killed it 😜
For me was the neatest of the electrical installation, it looks ridiculously perfect, I am happy for you and Valerie for finally enjoying something that both have worked so hard for...I'm looking forward for those fishing & cooking episodes to come !!! Sail away captain
Awesome “take us along for the ride” series Mike. I’ve watched all the videos and until today, the rod holder installation video was my favorite. Maybe that’s because I’ve installed quite a few myself in some of my past boats (11 and counting). But today’s video where you’re now reaping the rewards for a lot of work, takes the cake. I guess it’s my personality of “now that you’re here nothing else matters anymore”, I just want to enjoy the fruit of my labor. Anyway, congrats brother. Now let’s FISH!!
I like all the videos in this series it really opened my eyes as to what all it takes to build a boat from start to finish. I am an electronics guy so I enjoyed watching the wiring and simrad installation videos the most. It turned out great congratulations on the new boat.
First boat documentary for me. Each episode was packed full of knowledgeable. So inspiring, I just couldn’t wait to see the next episode. Captain Mike, A special thanks to you for always being a positive influence for others to see. May GOD continue to bless you and keep you safe on the water.
I think I liked this episode knowing how good you must feel getting to take out your new boat! That has to be an awesome feeling. They have all been very informative. Thanks for taking us along. Now let's go fishing!!
"There Ya go, all Done" "Put the motor on there" 😜
Episode 7, Installing the motor Bracket was probably my fav.
What a fun, and informative Boat Build series. Congratulations Capt Mike! Always Looking forward to the Videos. Keep em comin ✌🏾
Very happy for you Mike.
Lovely boat.
I enjoyed the early ages, seeing the hull manufactured.
The whole process was very eye opening.
Thanks for all your hard work keeping us in the loop.
Congrats, Captain Mike.
Watching this boat come together has been super interesting! Sorry you had all the headaches and hold-ups that came along with the pandemic shortages. I definitely enjoyed seeing the hull and the top cap come together! It really shows the turning point of turning fiberglass into a boat! Tight Lines!
Yesss! I pretty happy for you right now! Awesome to see the boat finished and you back on the water. I followed the whole build. I actually liked the installation videos the best. The stainless marine Bracket was cool to see installed. Also the way Latitude does their non-skid was pretty sweet! Can’t wait to see some fishing videos up from the new ride! Tight lines! 🤙
Congrats on the boat! Looks amazing! My favorite episode was #21 - wiring. Not only does it look great but in the event something goes wrong it is nice to have everything labeled and easily accessible. It is amazing how far these electrical systems have come over the last several years. Hope this brings you lots of enjoyment on the water!
Congrats Captain Mike!!!!! This has been a fun series to watch & follow!!! I can't wait till a fishing video with your boat comes out!!!!!! I can't decide which of the 28 episodes I like best.
Awesome boat!! Been watching the whole series and the episode when you were having the boat wired up was the best for me. They did an awesome job and it was so clean and a neat job! Great craftsmanship went into all of the build! Congratulations on finally getting out on the water!
Congratulations!!! It seems like forever when you announced that you were in the market for a boat. I can imagine how long it felt for you. Loved every episode of the build. My favorite was probably when the cap went on the hull. It started to take shape there. Hope to see you out on the water.
Congratulations Mike! Cant think of anything I'd change. I think the wiring video was awesome, those guys can wire my boat anyday.
All the Best, now go catch em up. I also look forward to seeing the versatility of that boat and how well it works out catching bait in the shallows. If it goes reasonable skinny it could be the best all-around boat out there.
Way to go Mike! Congratulations to you and Val, lots of memories to come. My favorite video is the rod holder lay out. Made me realize I need more rod holders lol. Seeing your boat float for the first time really hits home and takes me back to when I bought my first brand new boat 2 years ago.
Every boat starts out as dream. A dream becomes reality one step at a time. I feel all of the boat reports were important not singularly but collectively as they documented your complete thought process from boat show to sea trials. Now your dream is a reality. Congratulations Captain. Tight Lines
OUTSTANDING Captain Mike!
Fantastic journey from beginning to sea trial. As crazy as it sounds, the episode where you laid out the vision and the plan, and why you wanted the specifics.
Good Stuff my friend....Good stuff!
Congrats Mike!!
Congrats Mike to you and all of the craftsmen involved with your well planned and execuited build! I enjoyed the whole series, the most important episode and my favorite is the “Sea Trial” shakedown.
Game On, Tight Lines!
All episodes were amazing! The information you bring to a newbeie like myself Is priceless and really brings things into perspective.
Personally im a gadget guy so the episode highlighting the Simrad instal gave me a few ideas of my own. I didnt even know you could get it with such a large screen..
Keep putting out great content.
Thanks
Congrats Captain Mike! The boat build came out amazing! I really like how you focus on the little details that make the boat functional for your needs on the water. My favorite video from the entire series would have to be the wiring video. I have myself a project boat and one of the next things I’m considering taking on in this project would have to be the wiring of the entire boat. This video has giving me ideas of how to tackle that project and giving me inspiration to do a real nice clean job with the wires. I hope you enjoy your new amazing boat!
Episode 28! Finally got to see the final project and I was actually considering getting a boat built for me. This was a great experience not only for you, but me too. I’ve learn so much during time and excited to see you start fishing again.
I love the Simrad system. I love it so much that after watching episode 26, I went and purchased the 9inch for my boat. Thank you and look forward to the next video.
Congratulations on the build and taking us through the journey. My son and I loved all the episodes but the best was the rigging for me.
I know your excited to be on the water in your new boat and I'm very happy for you, its been a very long year with everything that's been going on. I really don't know how you did it ! ! ! I enjoyed the whole boat build but the one thing that I enjoyed most was the wiring of the boat. That guy that did the wiring is a true artist of his craft for sure. That is the neatest wiring job I have ever seen ! ! ! ! ! A true pleasure to watch him work ! Not to diminish any of the other craftsmen that worked on your boat because they were all very good at their craft. You were very lucky to have had them all do work on your new boat for sure. You are a blessed man for sure Capt. Mike ! ! ! ! !
Congrats Mike. Been fun watching the build take place. My favorite was watching Corey from Kraken Marine do his thing on the wiring. As a 12volt guy for 30 years it's truly an art when it's done right and a matter of life and death if it's done wrong.
Boat looks great, nice and clean setup. Fave episode was the shell, cool to see locals building for locals. Great shop and everyone involved was informative. Thanks for the uploads in the process! Tight lines!!
Awesome boat, I think I was more excited to see it finally finished then you were.😀
My favorite episode had to be "All About the Bait" EP17. Sea chest WOW! What a concept!
A much earned congratulations! Mike we adore your content. Our favorite regarding the build of your boat helped us pick our own boat! It especially was the rod holder addition. We appreciate you and first learned how to work a casting net due to your educational content. We would be proud show off your awesome Reel Reports hoodie🎣🙌🏼
Wow, first of all congratulations captain Mike for having your dream boat finally in the water.
All episodes was really enjoyable to watch that boat from the beginning to the end all this guys work on your boat to get it ready for us to enjoy watching you fishing before you enjoy your dream boat .
Now iys the time for you you to make alot of fishing videos so we can learn and enjoy fishing with Captain Mike.
Man, so happy for you man. I'm looking forward to some fishing. Your video have definitely made me a better fisherman. Appreciate the content Capt. Keep up the good work. 💪
Glad to see the you on your boat finally on the water! Great boat build series!
Dope boat bro! Gives me hope with my current build. I would say by far my favorite video was the electrical episode. It's something that isn't on UA-cam. I can find videos about everything else, but nothing going into detail about all the electrical layouts. It's an art all to itself. I wish you would have went in depth more, I hope you cover all of it in depth in the future. Switches, circuit breakers and routing. Get out and enjoy that boat and put some blood on the deck!
I think it’s fare to say we all loved all the episodes, I personally found myself looking for new episodes every week. I’m hoping you make a few episodes on breaking in the engine and tweaking the boat.
Congrats Capt Mike , I did follow along and enjoyed the videos and learned about the work that went into your build. I really enjoyed the episodes that focused on the live bait and the pumps and the intakes to supply the live bait. Your experience showed on this build and every thing from the bait wells to plumbing and electronics.
So enjoy and good luck with the future 29’ 👍
Cheers Capt, 🤙🏻
Mike, I really liked the rod holder installation video. I never thought so much attention would go into that process but it totally makes sense now! Great job with the video progress along the way and congrats on the final product! 🤙
Mike, you did an awesome job planning this build. That boat is perfect.
I enjoyed the electrical rough/trim the most. That dude did a great job and made it look easy! Congrats Mike the boat is awesome. Now get us some fishing videos!!
whole build videos were great. episode 11 when pieces started to come together was pretty cool to see. enjoy it man
I love the simplicity of a single engine on this wonderful boat. The boat building process was interesting and I like the foam in episode. Very cool.
Congrats Mike..so happy for you..released from the prison we call land..Episode one, for many reasons is my favorite..the decision to sell a good vessel and invest in a new opportunity is massive and not without risk..especially in 2020..thank you for allowing us to share this adventure with you..and the "whisper grey" is really starting to grow on me... Tight Lines Captain..
I liked the whole series, but I think my favorite episode was pulling it out of the mold. Got to see what it was really going to look like. I also loved seeing all the time they put into the fine detailed work of the hull. Congratulations on finally getting the boat out on the water. Tight lines!
Glad to see you out on the water. I can imagine how you must feel after this process. Congrats. I liked the whole video series. Showing what it takes to build a custom boat. My favorite episode if I have to pick one, is probably the Simrad, or maybe the sea chest. Either way.
Foaming in the big ice-box, the way you planned it, but also insulated it I thought was top notch, that was my favorite episode of the this build. !!! nice boat
Awesome brotha!! 🔥 I loved seeing the fiberglass Installation. So awesome to see how all of this works. And definitely pumped to see more fishing content!
Congrats on the completion. Its an awesome boat for sure and I can't wait to see some fishing videos out of it. My favorite progress video was definitely the fuel tank installation as the process was very interesting.
Having an older boat I’ve learned a lot through your process! All of the episodes have been chocked full of knowledge and learning for me. I appreciate the wiring by Kraken and the thought process put into the rod holder placement! I don’t think I would’ve ever given as much thought to angles and location as you did! I’m taking notes!!
Congrats on the boat. For me the start to finish of the boat build its amazing how you put your heart and soul in to the boat build
My favorite episode is this one. Congrats on finally getting your boat on the water! Can't wait for some more fishing episodes...tight lines!!!
I've enjoyed all of the episodes but was definitely impressed with kraken marines work
Whoa.... so cool Capt. Mike. Congrats! Can’t wait to see the T-top and all your gear fishing. As for what was the best video of the 28? Honestly, all of them. I learned so much watching.... they helped me with my build/restoration. Gave me ideas.... helped me plan my next steps.

Congratulations Capt. Mike! It’s a beast!
Congrats Mike!!!
It was an absolutely awesome series to watch.
My favorite episode was when you were there to watch the hill pop out from the mold. The excitement and relief you experienced was fun to watch. I also thought at that moment you realized all the real work was about to begin.
Congrats Mike!! My favorite video was the bait wells! The thought that went into them, the planning and smart use of space!
Congratulations Capt Mike. What a journey it has been. I enjoyed every episode, every step of the way. There wasn't a favourite one as each one blended into the next. But the finished product, absolutely amazing. Tight lines and happy fishing.
Best regards from a sunny South Africa
Congrats on getting her on the water! I liked EP21, the electrical install, nothing says quality and attention to detail better than clean wiring. Enjoy brother!
Congrats Man! Loved seeing the fiberglass get rolled in and floor live well alteration.
Really appreciated the episodes involving the installations of plumbing, electrical and hardware. Gives me motivation to finish my build. Enjoy the new rig.
Congrats!!! Fair winds and blue skies....
The boat has become great. Congratulations. The best episode was the one with the boat trailer!
Wow, what a journey. As a builder by hobby, I thought the whole build process was pretty cool. The lamination process, the foam filling and the detail that was put into all the hatches. Also I found it very interesting to see the sea chest as your sea water pickup. That's exactly what we use in the navy. It makes sense to keep your pumps submerged and cooled at the same time. I was with you the entire way and glad to see you are finally on the boat. Are you still considering the top?
Awesomeness! Congratulations x1000. Next lets see the gear you load it up with (rods, gaffs, nets, ropes, anchors, safety gear etc).
this episode. to see it in the water was all worth it!! enjoy. I got my repower at Preferred as well. Great bunch of people
This episode! Boat looks awesome, can’t wait for more fishing videos!
Absolutely the best episode was this one. After all that time, seeing the boat in the water...you can't beat that !!
This has been hugely informative on all levels. Especially likes how you decided on the sea chest and the fish boxes. If you fish, these are the things below the deck that few people really think about and that video put a spotlight on it.. Cheers!
The best part of this boat built series would be the episode where you installed the fishfinder. Want to build my boat one day and seeing how easy it is to set up a fish finder gives me hope of catching more fishes in the future 😁
Congrats on finally getting on the water! She a beauty! I’ve enjoyed them all. The attention to detail throughout the build has been phenomenal! It looks like nothing was short changed. I think if myself or someone I knew was going to do a build I would recommend your blueprint! Awesome job Capt. Mike!
Glad you’re out on the water. It looks awesome!
Congrats Captn Mike. My favorite episode was the live bait well episode. Where you maximized your space and installed the large live bait well. Once again congratulations on your boat and the series enjoyed them all.
Boat came out awesome looking forward to seeing some more fishing! Congratulations and thanks for all the lessons about building custom.
Great you're in business again. The rod holders video was great. Enjoy your dream boat 😊
Congrats!! I enjoyed the gas tank install best. Looking forward to the fishing videos
Congratulations Mike, you deserve it. Enjoy. I definitely enjoyed the electrical and wiring episodes.
My favorite part was the hull fabrication, enjoy your new boat. Love it
Well done bro. Big respect from Bermuda. Favorite video was the plumbing. Definitely was a lot more going on that I expected. Glad you running on the water now. I’m gonna go outside now and work on mine!
1 year man!! Congrats on the new boat, I loved the past year watching your clips of the boat being built. For the past few years I have been really interested in buying a hull and build my dream boat out of just a hull. Now that I have seen your videos watching professionals and it still took a year (I thought 3-6 months tops), I might change my mind. With that said, my all time favorite episode was the bait tank episodes. first episode was the actual molding of the tanks them selves, then paired that with the brains and heart that pumps the tanks. Those tanks are what make your channel unique for live bait fishing. Most of the mainstream fishing channels on youtube have more of a focus on throwing artificials, yours is focused on Live Bait, I love it! Keep it up!! Side note, I wish I could have double thumb upped this video
Congratulations Capt. Mike. My favorite was Episode 2 where they’re hand laying the fiberglass. It shows how well built these boats are. Lots of cheaper boats have delamination problems 4-5 years down the road.
I loved the series. Particularly liked watching the fiberglassing! Enjoy the boat!
Glad to see the boat in the water!! My favorite episode was the wiring episode! I do customs wiring on handicap vehicular so it was cool to see someone else making a wire set up look good!
The episode where it came out of the mold. It was like the birthday you never forget. Just thinking of how you have the chance to have 100% input on how the boat will be custom crafted to your specifications. Beautiful boat. I know I am envious.
Congrats Mike! I think I'm good on boat builds for now, my favorite episode I think was the non-skid one and this one finally seeing her in the water. Looking forward to seeing her in action. Now go get some bait, let's go! 👍
Hi Mike, loved following the build on UA-cam and IG. Favorite part was finding out how much foam goes into the build
Congratulations Captain Mike !! She looks amazing !! I enjoyed watching when all the electrical was being done . That is awesome how they took there time and ran everything!! Thank you !! Fair winds and Following Seas Capt !!
this is great just in time for the summer fishing season... i am happy for you
Congrats Cap. Exciting day. I enjoyed the whole series man. Boat looks amazing. 👌🏽
The rod holder episode is my favorite, you can never have to many rod holders, N+ 1 is the way to go!! Nice boat, tight lines!
Man I tell ya what, I think I enjoyed watching the guys working the fiberglass more than anything. Crazy how good some guys are at it.
yeay yeay! you got her on the water! congrats Capt. Mike! fav part of the build was when the engine was mounted, you were stoked
Beautiful boat. My favorite part of the build was the clean electrical install. Clean wiring is a work of art.
Awesome finished product. Glad you decided to go with the Merc, you won't be disappointed. Tight Lines!
Congrats on a fine vessel ! The electrical section was excellent, I really have a better understanding of how it all works and what to look for as I venture into getting a boat down the road. The attention to detail was top notch and quality of components bullet proof. It's been very informative.
Cheers Greg
