how much stronger is tig welding compared to this?

This is a 17ft ?

where's the rest of the videos

I just watched your video from repairing the transom. Can i have your number im doing the same on my boat and have some questions

Stay focused and stay humble, Mr. Rodriguez. Great and good days will be upon you!

Aye! Fresh video, and slaying 'em. Proud of you, Derek. Keep living the dream!

That’s so incredibly frustrating. Especially when there’s not much that you can do about it. I can’t believe directors don’t consider those things better and plan accordingly. Nice video homie!!

How did you paint the whole boat? Take the motor off?

Really good job

you destroyed a perfectly good boat. how many times have we seen somebody spray some shiny new paint and say "look at what i did"! you can do it too... diy. then the next guy has to spend hundreds of dollars to get that crap off, then only to find that the metal is ruiend underneath. no, its not "textured". the aluminum is gouged, thinned and weakened. more prone to crack. who takes a grinder to alunimum? a kid that doesnt know anything about what hes doing. so youve painted a couple toys a year or two ago. that was a nice boat... before

Nice work! I'm planning to gut & renovate my 2000 pro team 165 next winter. Ilike your center rod box. I think I'll do the same. I'm still running the original 40 horse 2 stroke that came on the boat. I rebuilt top to bottom back in January instead of replacing it. Looking forward to your next one!

Any idea where I could track down a console similar to that one?

What size plywood did you use

Awesome work sir. I know this is an older video but hopefully you will still see it. anyway always remember that those big batteries must be able to vent during g the charging process. They produce a large amount of toxic and flammable gas while charging so always install a vent cap or two. Also in case of emergency access use strong 3M velcro for the lid instead of 4 screws. Hope this helps. Once again an awesome job on the build. ◊very impressed.

Good job. Nice to see new gen not afraid to work 👌

Hey Derek, can you advise the paint code and color name for the primer coating you used to paint your boat, I really want to use it on an upcoming project boat I'm working on this year!!!

I know the vids are 2 hrs old…not sure of ur age but I’ll admit I’m impressed by ur fabrication. What is ur experience…

Mr Derek , how is the transom holding out, looking at buying a 1993 bass tracker

Just bought one of those poly strip wheels for the angle grinder, and my fear is that it is too agressive, it's definitely scratching up the aluminium, and I think it's thinning it. :(

Amazing videos. Saved me a ton of time with the livewell. Keep it up.

For anyone wondering, you can now purchase custom sizes for a complete fry hatch lid system that has a drain port already in place for water.

That channel will only hold so many drops of water, before the dry hatch becomes a wet hatch, you didn’t say or show how the water drains out of the dry lip track.

Good Luck on the new build boss, cool vid!

How did you determine that the transom was rotten?

What thickness aluminum decking did you use?

You Derek, how's college life?

Should have just used paint stripper to remove the paint much easier.

You have any issues keeping the black cleaned?

How about starting out by telling us something about the boat i.e., brand, type, age, size, how did you acquire it etc. "Backstory" intros tend to make for a more interesting video. Gets the viewers more involved in the project.

How thick is the transom wood? Will need to to this to my Pro17 also

You did an amazing job!! Now I have to do mine😫

You get what you pay for

It is aswume seeing someone so young doing such a great job. Keep it up. !! That being said you used ply wood that is made for subflooring in a house instead of marine grade ply wich is much better quality. But the resin shold help. Aswume vid.

Great Job!!! Is this a Pro Team 17?

TbN. Great video

What year is the boat?

Great work

Nice work young man. Question: What did you use to replace the factory foam?

Did you rattle can this boat white or how did you do it?

Hey what spray paint did you use?

I have to say you did an excellent job young man. I’m planning to rebuild the transom on my ‘89 Bass Tracker TXS and I hope it goes as half as good as you made it look. I’ve got more confidence after watching this Thank you for making this video. I think I’m gonna go with a composite transom, but then again, I may just do it exactly the way you did yours with the wood. You’ve got me thinking about restructuring the front and back decks too lol. This is why I love these old Bass Tracker aluminum boats. You can rebuild them the way you want them and they’re just about like new. That is if you don’t have any damage to the aluminum hull, and that’s not beyond repairing either.

Absolutely outstanding video! Now, can you help me out regarding what you were saying about the EVA foam versus carpet… Something about it being flush but not having to worry about it if it’s carpet??… I am totally lost on that part… ”It” is gonna stick up a little higher that way ”It” won’t bind?… What exactly are we talking about here regarding the hinge, carpet, EVA, and the height or flushness?? I watched several times but can’t figure out specifically what you mean.

Where did you find the diagram? Looked everywhere and unable, the website is not very helpful.

Not bad for a teenager

😆 🤣 😂 you cant be serious. Hit One wake and bye bye hatches 🤷‍♂️ i wouldnt expect anything more from tiny boat nation. If you want some professional work hit me up kzbin.info

How deep are your ribs? mine are 1.5" deep having a hard time finding the right foam to make up 1.5" I like the build I am going to borrow your design

Where did you get the boxes on the front

How well does the paint hold up?

I watched your Tracker build, Great job. Watching this one now, Really impressed. You dont see many young kids (Im 46 so forgive me) actually get out and work to get something how they want it. My kids will barely get off the couch to get a drink. Apply that work ethic to all you do and the sky holds no limits.

This young man's fearless attitude inspired me (63) to take on replacing my transom. It's not going as well as his and the videos are not nearly as good but we press on, keeping it real as possible. If you want to see it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKfamHWbfLmDpck
