    I thinking how difficult those rivets seem to be - and then you said they were stainless - that makes sense!

      I was riding the struggle bus trying to get those rivets in, then I realized they were stainless, duh me!!!! Only took 2 months for my finger to heal.

    I'm new to boating and just got my first job boat. Your content is extremely helpful and informative. Currently building a predator 670 with a beaver dam.thank you for what you do. And in hopes of getting into the haters corner, here is an awful joke. What is worse than ants in your pants?.......

    Hey that rubber o ring deal is pretty sweet. I’ve got a couple here and there on different stuff. But I use a plastic kayak eye on one side then the hook on the other. This way it all stays attached. Just put a zip tie on it or 550 cord for a handle. Once they broke since I riveted in the kayak rope loop things, I just used 1/4” bungee cord and that works better cause after you tie the knot. It’s already got a handle to grab with the extra after the knot.

    My sub floors are made of milk crates cut up and pieces to size. With just matt on top. And if you do roller liner on again, use the rust oleum one, but put play sand in it. It will keep the non skid forever but also comes out with a really even consistency instead of the weird dragging and running it does just by itself.

    Glad to see some content on the ole boat! That build is the perfect cat rig. How has that predator held up without billet rods ? I wanna use a performance 670 governor bracket to get my stock mud motor up in the 4300 rpm range but I’m not sure if valves will float 🤔. Your opinion ?

    • @SendItJonBoats
      @SendItJonBoats  2 місяці тому

      So far it's holding up good. Been running it around 4500rpms pretty constantly. I did the heavier valve springs when I ported the heads so I have not had any valve float issues. I plan on doing the performance 670 cam and rods at some point in the future to see what kind of increase in performance I can get. But so far it has been a really good engine.

    Hey scooter, how many sheets of stencils did you use on your paint job? How much did you pay for them? Do you have any links for the shop you got them from? How much paint in total did you end up using? Thanks bro!

    • @SendItJonBoats
      @SendItJonBoats  2 місяці тому +1

      700ish bucks, I didnt even count how many sheets but I will never ever ever do it again. Total waste of time and money. I scratched the hell out of it within the first 2 trips out on the water. I used 1 gallon of paint and almost 1 gallon of clear.

    • @SendItJonBoats
      @SendItJonBoats  4 дні тому

      I had to adjust the weight back as far as i can on the motor mount, and bend the skeg to the direction it wanted to pop out of the water. With those adjustments it made a world of difference. Try it and dont be afraid to bend that skeg as much as you need. I have had several that I have had to bend more than a few inches.
