14 foot Polarkraft Frontdeck and livewell modification

[@seanthomas8487]

It's nice to see a boat builder on KZbin roll out videos and quality work. Keep up the good work 🫡🫡

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks brotha!

[@bobwalsh719]

Great save! My current Jon has the same small livewell,, more like a Bait well. You guys are metal magicians!

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks Bob

Dude, Matt!… I would take a few damn vacation days just to go watch, learn and work with you for a few days. I absolutely LOVE working with people who are so highly skilled and know what they're doing. I watch your vids while at work (I'm a photo retoucher by trade) and I have to stop to really look at what you're doing because the shit is literally like fine art! My brother in law does what you do but on glass boats so that's where my experience lies and I'm dan good, but learning this aluminum stuff is so interesting to me as well. My first boat was a 14' Johnboat that my neighbor (BFF at the time) and I bought together with money we earned from mowing lawns and we put a front deck on it with my dad's help and it was one of the sickest rigs anywhere we went, and his 25HP Merc allowed us to rip at 30+MPH. He ran that and I manned the trolling motor and we crushed it for like 3 years until I moved away. I have my bog boat and am likely going to build myself a Strator 201Pro XL this year, but a nice 16' tin rig would be nice to have as well. Sick vid as always. How do you not have a few million subscribers yet? SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT TRICKED TINS PEOPLE!!!

Thanks homie! Definitely appreciate it brotha!

[@maddgoatee9708]

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks brotha

[@marksteele2661]

Excellent work as always! Love the layout in these !

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks brotha

[@ijohnnn]

Cool that you cross break aluminum for rigidity just like we do in the hvac industry from duct

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Yessir

[@christinerogers5331]

Nice build, Matt, I hope everything works out for Austin to move into your apartment, I can only imagine the kind of builds you two could turn out! I've got my fingers crossed! Take care and be safe!

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks. Hopefully it works out

Thanks homie

[@coltensawyer6761]

I just bought a 1752 polar Kraft Jon. Bare boat. It was a jet boat so long ways on the bottom ribs are very beat up. Any repairs or way to help with that ? Weld all new angle over them? or any ideas to tell are local welder would be great! You know more then me !

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Id have to see it brotha. Idk

[@coltensawyer6761]

@@TRICKEDTINS thanks for the response any way ! I’m relatively new to boating scene so learning as I go. Maybe one day if I made a short or some how sent you the pictures you could give me advise but who knows it’s a lot of trouble to go through for you not getting the money for the work I’m far away! Anyways have a great night man! Love the builds videos

[@c.shoefish]

Another great one!

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks brotha

[@floyd6545]

Another killer boat. Great layout. I could do some serious fishing in that boat! Why the hell you gotta be so far away?

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Hahaha sorry brotha

[@dansundberg2526]

Those live wells actually work great . They just fill up to the level of water line of the boat . Not great to keep bass in all day but pretty slick otherwise

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Maybe for bait

[@joffrechampagne7908]

Did you match the dead rise for the front floor ? Great bend/ match

[@TRICKEDTINS]

We literally just bridged the gap between the font deck and middle bench.

[@jeffbrummette1622]

So if you run up on any bank then the live well is basically torn up? I don’t understand the concept here on this build at all. If you have time could you tell us why the attachment on the bottom wouldn’t get drug off? Thanks Jeff

[@TRICKEDTINS]

It doesn't protrude through the hull. It's flush and welded solid. It will outlive 100% of the rivets in this hull lol.

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

Nice !

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks brotha

[@hammerstoneartifacts4986]

fill a big cooler with water..... Anything but Rivet holes in your F#$#ing keel.....

[@TRICKEDTINS]

I think the keel was welded but those holes were close lol
