@5:40, I live in central Florida. One time when I was a kid, I went with my dad to go look at a hog trap out on a friend of a friends property. We find the trap and the owner was whizzed up in his 4x4 after having come out of nowhere not even knowing that we were arriving at that specific time. He had seen us in his scope from his truck apparently. The 70+ year old florida rancher comes down and greets us and goes over to the trap with us. There is a spare corn feeder sitting there that he is leaning on while my dad and the man were chatting. I notice a smaller then a baseball but much larger then a golf ball sized nest of angry yellow jackets (easily 18-25 wasps) on the bottom of the feeder. I interject and say "sir watch out for that wasp nest there" and he said "oh, them? Ill get em." Then he proceeded to reach out with his bare hand and snatch the wasp nest (wasps included). He did it quickly but calmly and crumpled it between both hands. After a quick rub or two he let them spill out onto the forest floor, the wasps and nest reduced to crumble. I was in absolute awe. I loved smashing a wasp nest with a stick and running but this man was a legend to me for that. My dad raised his eyebrows at the situation for a minute then continued on. That is an old memory that I just remembered. Sorry to spill that out here but I hope someone will enjoy it. Only in rural Florida.
I had warts on my hand and knee when I was young. Doctors, otc products etc.. nothing got rid of them. My parents had friends from plant city and we were visiting for a 4th of July barbecue. My moms friend said her dad, whos property we were at could get rid of warts. A while later he started a conversation w me and asked me if I wanted to take a walk in his orange grove. After about 20 min he asked if knew the way back to the house. I said yes and he said to go ahead and head back and he'll be a few min behind me. About month later I noticed a LOT of the warts were gone. Another week or so and they were all gone and Ive never had them again. I have no idea what he did or didnt do but after he did or didnt do it my warts were gone. My moms friend(his daughter) laughed and said ....I told you!
@@dsberube he said that he wouldn't have picked that shade of blue at the paint store, but that he would have missed out on a great color because the boat looks really good painted that color.
@@cr4zyj4ck I realize that. @gorp27 phrased his statement oddly. Why not just say that the boat looks sharp. No need to contradict the boat builder's decision on the paint color. I was simply supporting the decision on the boat builder. That's all.
I honestly believe you could do that for a living if you had an large garage where you could work on several boats at once. The lighting on those boats is killer!
What an amazing restoration! Unfortunately I'm not that mechanically inclined, nor DIY capable...yet! Keep it up! If I were in FL I would definitely come and buy a refurbished boat or engine from you. Happy 2020 to you and God bless.
Love your videos man! Would be cool if you showed what products you use ie; paint, cleaner, bottom paint, stains, fiberglass repair. Keep the restorations coming!
Get a plastic putty knife and put a t-shirt over the edge and burnish the tape on your stickers well. Outward on the edges to press any bubbles out. Pull the tape slow and steady at a 45% angle. I used to lay alot of vinyl. Should stick better and be easier to apply. Looks great! My fav boat yet
Those drone shots were very well done! I was a bit sceptical about light blue when you started but it turned out awesome! Looking forward to future videos.
I didn't like that shade of blue, At first, but after the restoration was finished, all I can say is "Holy shit!". You have a great eye for this. You know what you're doing and you do it well! Boat looks so sharp!
That boat came out amazing!!! You make me want to go out and buy another boat and fix it all up like this! I love watching your videos and can’t wait to see the next one!
Awesome restore. Love the lights and the color. Just picked up an 86 Robalo 2520 with dual Yamaha 250s that needs a lot of love. You gave me great ideas and inspiration. Having grew up in St Pete and with an aunt that lives on lake Seminole, I spent a lot of time on the lake. New subscriber and look forward to watching more of your videos.
Hi that boat guy I am a boat guy my self from the netherlands Amsterdam. and I love to watch you fixing old boats I have watched all your video's. I fix boats to smaller ones just canl boats 4 to 5 meter and smaller engines 4 to 15 hp but just as much fun . Thanx for the great video's keep it up. greetings from Amsterdam Holland :)
Amazing transformation. I had my doubts on your pale blue colour choice, but when finished, it looked a treat. Great job, great video. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍
Yeah, I didn’t know too much about the blue at first, but it turned out. Looks awesome. Done a great job. Enjoyed the video. ….Tiny ( Len Price ) Houston MS
I wish I had your skill set, lived where the boats are, but mostly, the energy of being young. Really nice stuff. The shots of the boat under way using "follow me" with a drone turned out fantastic. They do in all your videos.
I know. I never said they were not. The only carbs I ever degunked were on small engines. I'm sure this guy would rather mess with carbs over EFI any day though.
Nice job on the auqasport .I really enjoyed all your tips on servicing the engines . I've learned a lot from you .you do a GREAT JOB of explaining what you are doing and I really appreciate that . You are great teacher for someone like me who mechanically declined thanks for everything Chris
Boat looks amazing!!! I just picked up a 1988 mckee craft offshoreman... FOR FREE!!!!!! I CANT WAIT to get it running... just wish i knew what i was doing.
Hard work pays off. Labor Time starts when you start looking for a boat to restore. Not when you start restoring a boat. Labor Time ends when the boat is sold. Great job man with the documentation to prove that the work was done and how it was done. :)
Always love when you do another project - i've enjoyed all of them. Quick question.. you have taken the effort to completely paint and transform the look of the boat, how come you didn't order a new set of graphics for the outboard motor. It just would of finished the project off perfectly. That aside, I love what you do and achieve - bring on the next project! Cheers
That boat looks amazing friend!! . I bet a Carolina fan would love this!! Oh btw man i cringed a lil when you didnt use bumpers at the dock, you put so much work into it and i was surprised you didnt use bumpers. Great boat , if i had 13 grand id buy it. 30 years old and looks beautiful
hey brother, great job on the boat. I would have given the gelcoat a shine but that's personal preference. She looks really good in that baby blue. The LED lights were a nice touch. It was a pleasure to watch your video.
He flips them you will find them on craigslist tampabay. I was going to get his last one but was too late. keep searching it filter for the boat type it will show up
Awesome job guys !! No need to buy a brand new boat if you are a capable human ... even if you have the money restoring your own is way more gratifying
First, great job on the boat project!!! Now, I know nothing about boats, but I thought that color outside was going to look messed up. But you made a great choice, it turned out really nice, the lighting really sets it off. Again, great job!
we’re practically neighbors. I’m on 64th St S and 2ave S. Pm me if you ever need an investor, partner, or a hand I have experience and tools. would be interested in joining the operation
@@ThatBoatGuy are u in florida? Think u are but cant make out exactly where?? I want to use your services to buy a used boat for my daughter and I..i used to have a concept 27 but we're looking for a smaller used cheaper or less expensive.. Im a single parent(female) and might need your experience in the mechanical department..lol. Im good on the rest.. Im in fort.myers florida..are we near each other???
That Aquasport is a great fishing platform. We fished one for years. That boat crossed the Columbia River bar countless times without a hitch. Very nice rehab. Someone is going to buy a solid craft.
Well done! What a find too. Nice to find a diamond in the rough and bring her back to life. I'm hoping one day to do the same. Center console is the way to go too for a good fishing vessel.

Yeah. Waiting for epoxy to harden 24 hours is a fact of life.
Very nice. I’m addicted to these videos.
I now know what I want to do when I grow up!
Aquasports are some of the best boats ever. Built by guys who loved what they did and knew what they were doing.
We didn't see the 4hp start and run😕😕
A Romantic Sunset Cruise? Adorable!
What an amazing restoration! Unfortunately I'm not that mechanically inclined, nor DIY capable...yet! Keep it up! If I were in FL I would definitely come and buy a refurbished boat or engine from you. Happy 2020 to you and God bless.
Love your editing. Gets right to the point ti what matters
Those drone shots at the end make me wish I lived somewhere I could own a boat.
I have just recently found your channel and am addicted to the content. What you do is amazing!!!!
Love your videos man! Would be cool if you showed what products you use ie; paint, cleaner, bottom paint, stains, fiberglass repair.
Keep the restorations coming!
Really love what you do! Taking these beautiful old boats and making them like new again! Well done!!!
Thank you!
@@ThatBoatGuy do you not have to register every boat that you test drive in the water? Or you just take the risk?
What a great job ,I hate to see boats in Dry dock or a field just wasting away
@@ThatBoatGuy I found a 1980 Aquasport for sale in Naples powered by a 150 evinrude 2 stroke. Please let me know if you'd like the link. Thanks
@@ThatBoatGuyI am a huge fan of your show! And I was wondering if you sell the boats that you restore?? And when are you going to do a new show??

That blue looks badass goes good with the blue on the motor cover
thank you

Great looking job on the boat!!!
If I was the previous owner I'm gonna cry and want it back 😭💙 turned out like new.

It definitely takes some skills probably, but an average person could teach himself. It takes a lot of time and money more than anything probably.

Fixing is probably pretty easy. The hard skill to acquire is to know it's worth fixing in the first place.

Cool build! I’d like to see more on the product, tools, price & process of your paint job. 👍🏼 cool video subscribed!

Great job bro. If I’m ever able to buy a boat. I’m coming to see you first.
Love seeing trash turned back into treasure. Your upgrades are a great touch.
like putting make up on an old hore. lol
Well done! You should really open a restoration shop.
Maybe in the future I will!

What is the name brand of the gel coat? I can look up where to purchase it. And also the deck paint.
Lol there is none
Another nice project. Congrats on the new boat!
thank you

hey brother, great job on the boat. I would have given the gelcoat a shine but that's personal preference. She looks really good in that baby blue. The LED lights were a nice touch. It was a pleasure to watch your video.
Merc phantom black works great and new decals, invest in a spray rig, otherwise looks good.
You take apart carbs with so much confidence and it's awesome. You obviously have alot of knowledge and experience
I love the LED strips that you use in all of your builds. Could you drop a link as to where you buy them? Thanks!
Fireship1 really anyone on amazon works. I’m sure they’re all from the same factory in China anyway
Another great video. I like the blue inside of the boat, not sure about the outside.
Yo had to try the 4 hp to see how it did with the boat. Overall a good running and looking boat. HOW MUCH DID IT SELL FOR ??? 🤔🤔🤔
Ya he never says what he sells stuff for, I know he might like to keep that private
Exactly what I wanted to see in a boat restoration video. Great Job!
Thank you
Can you give me any details on the paint color and brand?
That boat looks fantastic especially in the evening.
The seadek pad should be at the Helm when you are standing
This has to be the best channel on youtube
Do you have a link to the paint you used on the outside of the hull? I love the color and wanna put it on my Carolina skiff
M&C Fishing it’s looks like Interlux paint medium blue. I painted my boat the same color.
Awesome boat! You should be proud of that one!👍
Great job! That thing turned out amazing. How does it pull with the short trailer frame?
That boat is awesome. I really like it! Hell of a job, I really like the blue LED lights.

How does that paint hold up? I’ve always heard it’s a bad idea to paint over the gel coat!
I painted over my gel coat in 2011. Still holding strong to this day. Just scuff it up good.
Didn't he sand off the old gel coat? I think so. Then he left the new coat as is for the "flat" look. No polishing or buffing.
Awesome job guys !! No need to buy a brand new boat if you are a capable human ... even if you have the money restoring your own is way more gratifying
Nice
Watching this again 9 months later wish I could of bought this thing it came out amazing and hauls butt too, always great work guys!
