Pressure wash. Sandblast. Pressure wash again. Paint. Done!

The way I put line on my spinning reels is ! I just do my best to fill the spool ! There is no perfect twist free method ! Again I just fill the spool with new line to the best of my ability ! Then I get into my boat and trail the line off my real behind the boat ! Trailing just the line and nothing else tied to the end of the line ! This method takes every bit of twist out and makes everything perfect ! You can also use the method in a really large field by walking and trailing the line behind you !

Right to the point great video keep up the great work can’t wait to go fishing 🐟🎣🐠

Mono is the strongest line actually.

Rustoleum offers marine paint. Ebay has it listed for just $25 per quart.

Why didn’t you knock the dense out of it? It would’ve been very easy. Made the boat look much nicer. You need to know. Be glad to talk to you and show y’all. Tell you whatever you desire.

I like the way of explaining things and passing over your knowledge to the audience, speaking without a wild 🤡 enthusiasm or stupid gestures, your voice is well balanced and right wordings implemented, that being said ☝easy to understand and memorized 👌

Really good information. Thank you so much.

Did you realise you spray painted your camera ?😳

Harbor freight has a sandblaster for like $30. It’s junk, but probably worth if for cleaning up a boat

Maybe a sandblaster

One more tip to add thanks to my dad in 1983. Rivets. He made a very solid 2inch + dowel from solid heavy metal. I should add the photo of it. Then with two guys one with the heavy dowel and one with a hammer and punch. Tap every rivet to seal up the boat. Ya it takes a while but my leaky boat was water proof. Once you find the first rivet together. You just say next. Tap tap. Next. Tap tap. Do this before you paint. I've had two of these tin boats and after selling the first one, I watched it drive off and said to myself, I'm going to regret this. And I did. So luckily my dad had one and gave it to me before he passed in 2004. I'll never sell it. One thing I miss from my old one is the extended wooden seat in the front. Which also was great for stuffing things under and of course. Using that seat to lean back on like a recliner. Using extra old life jackets for padding.

This is excellent information for anyone considering refurbish8ng an aluminium boat. I'm doing my 13.5' Quintrex, and I've never attempted painting aluminium in the past. I was looking for a matt or low sheen option for the interior to reduce glare. The hammered finished looks excellent. I'm leaving the outside in brushed aluminium with probably 400 grit finish, maybe polish up below the waterline for really gliding through the water. Thanks for sharing 👍

I am surprised laser removal has not become more popular yet. Hopefully the market will have more rentable workshops in the future. Laser will burn all the organic material and leave the bare metal (no risk of denting the material in the process).

Nice job! Even at double the price (at least 400) here in Canada, its is a transformation.

It's look OK not perfect.

It is obvious this young man fishes in lakes the vast majority of the time. I've been fishing for trout for 70 years ,all of which has been in rocky moving streams. If the stream has stocked fish, line visibility doesn't mean a thing. If it is a relatively fast moving stream with lots of rocks breaking the surface creating eddies and pockets of still water, line visibility doesn't mean a thing. Until fluoro was invented about 20 years ago and became popular about 10 years ago when the chemists made it manageable, the only line available was mono. Fisherman have caught countless hundreds of millions of trout on mono. The part about catching trout in muddy water is pure stupidity. Trout don't feed in cold muddy water, especially high cold muddy water. Then we come to the odd man out in these fishing line debates. Dry fly fishermen. A Fluoro tippet is dead in the water, it sinks. Then there is the main floating fly line. Glow in the dark orange, red, yellow or green are the favorite colors. They are the size of cooking twine and can be seen 100 yards away, so visibility obviously doesn't matter. What does matter in all of these scenarios is lure presentation and manipulation. Knowing where to cast a lure and how to control it's depth and retrieve speed it what catches the fish, not the the visibility of the line or the lack thereof. My choice of line is 10lb OHERO ADVANCED BRAID in blue. It's stated diameter is .012 mm. That is smaller than 1 lb mono. Zero stretch, zero memory and $27 for a 300yd spool.

Did you clear or seal the bare aluminum?

Thanks for posting this video... I have an old v-hull that my Grandfather bought new in the late 1940's that needs some hardware refits and a TLC paint job... I'm gonna try your method, as I am not set up for big painting jobs, and this seems very doable and won't kill my budget...! I also subbed your channel!

For river/stream trout, i've been using 10-14lb hi-viz fireline with a 3-6lb fluoro leader for quite some time and has been very successful for me.

Thank you for this... so helpful.

What about run off

I repainted an aluminum boat a while back and used spray on bead liner over a textured finish on the interior of the boat. It turned out pretty good.

If you don’t paint the bottom, if doesn’t make sense.

You’re creepy asf

Nice project. The bare aluminum bottom looks great.

Most people have no idea when you dont flip the bail Over and pull the line tight to the spool you just wind slack on to the spool and you end up with a mess and buried line which will make you insane. Flipping the bail Over is the start but you ALWAYS have to pull the line tight to the spool and wind until you have tension sufficient to keep the line tight to the spool . I flip my bail and tension the line so fast after every cast you wouldn’t even notice me doing it. . Store you reels in a dry dark place and you dont need to respool new line . Ive used the same mono for over a decade and it has remained fine with no issues.

Would it be necessary to strip down an anodized hull down to bare metal? I've often wondered if a good spray paint would adhere to a clean anodized coating.

Would you do this for a boat that goes into salt water?

liked and subscribed! What a great channel.

I hate carrying multiple reel line for trout finishing. I just want one that does it all. I'm just starting out so this video really gives me great infos in choosing the best Line. Thank you for this awesome video, very much appreciated. :)

Greats job buddy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Can give a sprayed look with roller and brush for 1/4 the price

Can do this in less than 2 hours with a sand blaster

Heck ya, I just picked up an old aluminum boat for a few hundred bucks, gonna be doing this

It's great, you're just missing a few letters.

Si está padre solo unas letras t faltan

No fucking way I’m using the same rod lmao

probably a lot cheaper to get supplies and same paint at Manards , probably more like 100 bucks if you don't buy their paper and off brand tape that does the same as frog tape. Also can recycle amazon packing paper , that's what i use when restoring vintage tractors . I collect the packing paper every time , thank you Amazon !! If you watch your plastic rolls, paper , tape, and other cheaper items I'm sure you can get the cost down even further. Great job on the boat I have 14 ft Montgomery Wards ill be redoing soon.

Badass

Came upon this topic when trying to decide. Wanted to give braid a shot in some Ultralight fishing for trout. I paired up 0.3 (7.5lb) braid varivas avani with a 3lb fluorocarbo from varivas all which are jdm lines. Paired with a shimano vanquish 2019 And a Graphite leader belleza ux super ultralight. I think my biggest ick is tying the leaders 🤔

Well done!

Nice video. Thanks!

Yeah, do everything right.Time to go fishing. First cast, lure gets a treepounder from the dept, spins back. Cry looking at my twisty line 😂

Aircraft paint remover works WAY better... put it on and within minutes all the paint bubbles off. Leaving you with clean bare metal. Sure... it will destroy your lungs and cause your kids to be born with 3 arms, but it's so worth it.

Min 1:43 can I drink that orange juice?

Back when paint strippers were far less environmentally friendly you'd be able to just hose the paint off after letting the chemicals sit for just a couple hours.

Looks great,but does it leak? I have a boat like that looking at me right now. Great job 😊

What a beauty, great job. She looks amazing.

And wire wheels are fine as long as there brass. They also sell scotch pad style discs for your grinder that work even better
