I have so many ideas for this build, but always open to suggestions!

[@Helloooo253]

Love how clean you are. After every drill you vacuumed.!!!

[@mvboutdoors]

Haha, I hate having shavings everywhere. Clean as you go is better than a big clean at the end imo.

[@jennifervernon8041]

Nice a new series to watch and learn from.

Love the vid

[@robertaltomari2260]

Mike, you do a great job explaining things and I’m hooked on the channel. On the bear trailer build how many cans of the rust stop paint did it take.

[@mvboutdoors]

I want to say around 3-4, it wasn't too bad.

[@Reeder6Wisconsin]

Why would you not want pressure treated flooring?

[@mvboutdoors]

The solution used to pressure treat the wood is corrosive to aluminum.

I’m looking for a 1648 mod v. Newbie here in New York. Please advise

[@mvboutdoors]

That's a good choice of boat, they can be hard to find if you are looking used.

[@thegamingdog6025]

Where do you find your boats I look on fb marketplace and have been looking for months with nothing any suggestions

[@mvboutdoors]

Check every morning, sort by date listed and catch deals as they come in. Good deals sell fast. Be prepared to drive, every boat I've purchased has been 1hr+ away.
