14ft Star Craft restoration Timelapse

[@coreyclark7165]

Man you guys have evolutionized the concept of this craftsmanship. I have built a tiny bass boat off watching your videos. It might have taken me 2 years due to kids and weather but I couldn't have done it without your videos or inspiration. Thank you

[@mnsgunner4758]

Awesome build want me one of theses one day only change I would’ve made was bigger front deck

[@curiosoneee]

I tried to stop but I just couldn't . nice job .

[@fishin_eh]

This is simply outstanding. I can't get over the finished product, epic! Keep up the great work, and you guys are def inspiring me to take on a little project !!

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thanks a ton!

[@wayne-oo]

So satisfying to watch start to finish !

[@TinyBoatNation]

I thought maybe if I talk less people will watch it longer

[@wayne-oo]

That was sweet man well done.

Thank you kindly

[@alanroberts3765]

Love it

[@mattaneshansley5349]

That camera gets some awesome shots! Nice work. Since it's a budget build and idea what the actual cost is?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Like 3kish. It's essentially cut in half of what I usually do.

[@randyleiter8254]

Awesome build. I've watched dozens of TBN Builds. Learn something every time. Have you ever considered doing a boat trailer ??? Sounds like a dumb question, but if you can't get it to the water, should hv built A picnic table...any thoughts. Keep it up, awesome work

[@TinyBoatNation]

I have several videos out on trailers.

[@tjFalcon91]

Sorry I realize this is an older video. But I can’t find where you mentioned how to fasten the framing to the wooden sub-floor. Looks like maybe rivets? Since you drilled holes in the already resin’d sub-floor, how did you ensure water couldn’t penetrate the framing rivets into that sub-floor?

[@TinyBoatNation]

It’s part of a playlist

[@the5thround206]

How do you make sure your not going over the weight capacity of the boat when you do these modifications? Iv got a 14' Starcraft rated at 800 lb and would like to restore/ mod it but how much actual weight can I add without running into trouble? Thanks for the videos! Great inspiration 👏

[@TinyBoatNation]

800 pounds does exceptionally high weight rating for a boat. You can wear everything or just know the weight of everything you’re putting in you can also just make sure you try to use a max efficiency model using the lightest stuff. You want to go light in the 14 foot boat because there’s only so much horsepower you can run in a boat that small.

[@isaacmathewsmusic]

Does the floatation foam in the boat like that lift the hull out of the water more or is it only to keep the boat from sinking if flipped over?

[@TinyBoatNation]

It keeps the boat from sinking in the event of an emergency, and it also helps that ride smoother through the chop

[@hammer9856]

One ugly duckling converted to a beautiful swan... Truly breathtaking.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thanks! It’s a solid canvas for anyone if you can find a boat like that

[@212caboose]

Silly question- what's the garden hose for?

[@TinyBoatNation]

It was for subfloor drainage, but I went a different direction with the deck and ended up not using them and sealing the deck on the sides.

[@daniel.barajas8755]

If I was doing a wooden deck and wooden hatches should I use the tragedy of using the garden holes?

[@dopefishtanksandbirds2106]

Do anyone know if they sale cool rims for trailer I have a shorelander 12ft trailer and I like the look of TBN BOAT

[@whateverbitefishing9535]

🤘

[@shanegadberry1037]

How long did it take to do this and what was the total cost spent on the boat?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Was like 3.5-4k total and took around an month

[@jeffreylocke8808]

$3,000 dollars for saving a 1954 aluminum boat sounds just fine to me. Really nice build.

[@TinyBoatNation]

It was about just that! Spot on cost analysis

[@sotaboy8040]

Have you guys any opinion on elco outboard?

[@TinyBoatNation]

EPropulsion is better

[@sotaboy8040]

@@TinyBoatNation thanks for the input. I was looking at making myself a bigger boat that will handle the larger waters we have up here in Minnesota so was looking at their higher hp models (they have up to 50) and the amount of cash if have to shell out for lithium batts and a solar system to aid in charging. So, there goes my latest hike in the water idea that I'm gonna throw cash away into! Also, I was thinking of making a river car topper until I ran across your yak killer. I ride a wheel chair and was wondering if you guys would make custom sizing on your deck frame kits?

[@shaftedoutdoors8184]

Do you have dimensions of the bow plate. I have the exact same boat

[@TinyBoatNation]

It was one of our kits that we put together. You determine the size of the plate when you install it. tbnation.net/collections/budget-build

[@isaaclafond8473]

How wide is the boat?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Idk, like 42ish at the bottom.

[@alwatts4367]

I am a large guy, 6'5-365lbs. I am wanting to redo an old Tracker boat but worried about your hatch kits holding my weight. Is that something I would have to worry about? What is the weight limit on your hatches or lids?🤔

[@TinyBoatNation]

They are 1/8” and have under supports. They will hold

[@alwatts4367]

@@TinyBoatNation Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Love the channel and the site!

Can you guys pimp my boat ❤
