    I did a 14 ft boat build back in the late 80’s with plywood only no paint or carpet, when I got into the water my little 8 hsp wouldn’t get it on plane, discouraged me so I tore it out, hope you have better luck than I did. Finally got me a 20 hsp redid my plywood with paint, carpet etc, and I was set, caught more fish out of it than my fish ski boat. I loved doing the build, you’ve done a fantastic job, keep up the great work and videos. Good luck fishing.

    fun video, one thing to consider , with marine epoxy you would not need to punch holes through your transom to mount your transducer, just remove the red paint and glue your mounting block to the bare aluminum.

    Great build idea. The finger loops stapled onto the compartments' lids will pull and/or loosen once they get wet. on my john boat, which was a similar build, we used 3/4" stainless steel screws and a washer just big enough to secure the strap. That should put you without any worries

  • @lydiapawlak8564
    @lydiapawlak8564 2 роки тому +8

    Love the build! I would pull the motor off, and 1.) put on a sawhorse and repaint the motor, the same color as factory. Same for the prop/lower unit. You can maybe get those decals from an old supplier, but if not, just clean them up the best you can. Make that motor look almost factory new again. 2.) Friend of mine got a rod rack on his bass boat, that 5- rods can be mounted laying down on side of top casting deck. Point here is, you do not have the length of the top deck as long as your rods, so the butts will hang off edge into the leg area, but not bad. It is organized in a not so wide mount, so you do not step on your bass rods, while casting. A must have... 3.) I would add another same seat on the other side, for another person to fish with you. 4.) I would mount some cup holders for drinks on the side of wall near your seats. I agree, bilge pump would be good. If you want to put a larger motor; a good 25hp merc. would get you around plenty fast. Just get a little larger tank. That's it! Great job!!

    I used to have a 12 foot boat similar to the one you transformed in this video. The one thing I did to mount my trolling motor was to bolt a piece of plywood onto the outside of the bow, that way I didn't have to worry about it falling off during transit from the lake and home and visa versa. Also, I had a 9.5 HP Mercury outboard on mine. It was a good motor, but I wished it had been a 4 stroke instead of a 2 stroke. Great job, the boat looks great.

    Those are some good old boats. We skied behind and fished from one a lot like that when I was a kid. I think it had a 20 merc on it. I fish in a 10ft jon with 4hp merc and foot controlled trolling motor. I've had several bassboats in the past but have fun catching fish from my one man mini boat now.
    Edit: your boat will handle a 25 if your transom is strong enough. Should run 28-30mph if set up right.

    I love the forsight from the start, "she may not look like much," But I myself knew that was could for, "look at all this potential!"
    Honestly, I've been thinking of buying a boat myself, but looking at whats 'New' or 'Newly-Used' online, makes me cringe just a bit..
    I had the same thought as this video the other day, "what if I just bought a little stink hole of a Used boat, and Made it my own New??"
    And Now.. I Am Inspired! 😃

    Nice! only thing is I would suggest you add a bulge pump! You never think about them until something happens, but anyone who has experienced dumping their coolers and other containers out over the side and using them as desperate bails while praying they get back to the dock before it sinks will not even go out on a boat without one...

  • @kentyler966
    @kentyler966 2 роки тому +2

    Your Evinrude is a great motor. You should run TC3 2 stroke oil at 50:1 ratio, if you can buy non ethanol gas in your area I would always use that too. Good choice on the minn Kota with variable speed. This model lets you exactly get the rpm to match what you need. It’s not a spot lock motor but miles ahead of the usual 5 speeds forward models. I’ve never seen the mount you used to attach the troller up front, going to check it out. I’ve been looking for some type of bracket.
    Need to keep in mind that extra weight is not your friend on these type of projects.
    PS. Keep an eye on your water discharge. If you lose water pressure you fry your motor quickly.
    Easy to replace the water pump if you need to.

    • @kentyler966
      @kentyler966 2 роки тому +1

      P S. I see you have a grey fuel line. Be aware some of these are not compatible with ethanol gas. The plastic center line actually softens and either collapses or small pieces break off and plug your carb. Straight gas is better for your motor, does not attract moisture or collapse fuel lines.
