Hello Dylan Thanks for the video. I have done everything you did in the video. The #2 LED on my EMM is still lit and the engine will not stay running (it runs and then shuts off) any idea how to get the EMM LED to reset?

I build boats for a living. 25 plus years so far. I have been looking for a project like this.

How thick is the coosa board for the transom?

Nice ! From Amazônia Brazil !

hey i have a Q, can we pain over a super old cracked gelcoat after a little bit of sanding?? or should just sand the whole boat to the fiberglass?

Scary shit!

Yah boy😂

Hey Man, awesome job and really appreciate you sharing all your know how. My dad and I just started a full restoration on our 73 mako 19. My dad bought it new and it’s been the family heir loom all these years. These videos have been a huge help for us. Question on stringers, can you share a little more on how you trace the hull curvature onto cardboard for the new stringers? Want to make sure I get that right with the curve of the boat. Any advice would be huge! Thank you!

Etec has to be the worst designed outboard ever made. What dumbass engineer would make injectors the size of a baseball? And you what? Let’s make it even more of a pain of the ass and make the injectors different for each cylinder. Why?? Fucking dumb

Nice work man, coming along.

great progress, especially in the balmy June Florida sun

New subscribed from Somalia thanks

I'm enjoying this project very much! Thank you for sharing!

What do you recommend to fill smaller holes? Like filling the holes for the t top to then re-drill into them. T top screws seem a bit loose.

Could you please do a video on replacing an EMM ? I would like to know if it can be done without involving a dealer. Thanks!

Hi my brother. I am presently repairing a 17 ft mako. The stringers are rotting and there are dry spots in the Woven roving on the floor. I know I have to repair those, but the side of the boat songs a bit hollow. The side are originally done with woven roving too. I am wondering if the hollow song in the sides need to be strengthen as well? Please let me know your thoughts.

Dylan !!!! I have a question for you. I'm restoring a 1976 Mako-17 angler. i cut out the old transom and I measure 3/4 inch for my transom. how thick is your transom ?? You are doing great on your Mako-17....

Awesome work Dylan, that thing is going to last a lifetime. The guys on Classic Mako would love this thread. What type of outboard do you plan on going with? Not sure how much longer the Johnson on my 171 has left, wondering if a newer 4 stroke will be too heavy or not.

He'll yea brother lookin good

I love this project. Keep making videos.

Heck yeah man it is looking great😮😮 believe it or not we are still in demolition mode😢😢 North Texas weather has been a pain to say the least🤬🤬 we just finished cutting all the stringers in the Cajun👍 I am hoping to get to your level one day LOL👍

Can’t wait to see it come together.

Pretty sweet, will be a nice boat.

Looking good!

Dude don’t dump the silica on the ground. If your dog swallows or breathes it in it can cause cancer of their lungs or stomach! Sweet live well and floors.

I have done alot of fiberglass repairs on boats and your video is excellent. Great Job!

VERY NICE VIDEO SIR...

Good work Was wondering what is the the sheet of pre cut squares you used for live well, name of material please lol Thanks

Hey around 3:30 to 4:20 can you explain why you laid all that in the keel and what you did with the mixture there? Did you pour all that resin to let it hold the stringer while you set it, or let it dry and set stringer on top?

Can I reuse foam to refill hull if it is not bad or wet?

*How much did this Transom Repair Cost??*

These videos are a tremendous blessing to me. I just started my Mako project yesterday.

Amazing work

You're pushing way too hard with the roller trying to get those bubbles out you did not use enough adhesive that's not going to stick properly. 🎤 💧

Man, phenomenal work! You’re a boat restoration beast!💪🏽 I’m learning a lot from your videos and have them all saved for when I start making modifications to my MonArk!💪🏽

Nice work...!!! How tall and wide is that center console...??? Thanks

Do u got an ig by any chance

Wow Bro that is coming out amazing 😮😮😮!!...With all the rain and tornadoes here in North Texas I haven't had time to work on my Cajun 😢😢😢...This definitely inspires me 😮😁😁👍

🔥🔥🔥🔥

You need a head mount for that GoPro

Getting ready to start my 17 Mako project. Thanks for the tips and inspiration. I hope I'm as good with 2 hands as you are with 1 (while holding the camera all the time). Thanks for the great content!

I"m trying to get rid of mine while your trying to add one... I prefer a portable bait tank/livewell

Absolutely top notch. Really great work!

Hey if your cutting in the future get a 4inch diamond edge disk, cuts through fiberglass like a hot knife through butter

Glad to see you back. Was thinking Dylan be awol lol

Looking forward to seeing more of this getting rigged out!

What material is this

I moved my live well from the port seat to the rear, re built the entire back section of my boat. Since old well was insulated it is now the built in cooler.

Gotta make the fishes happy with round corners.

Looks grear, love how its coming together!
