This was sick. I’ve been trying to come up with a plan to enhance all the space in in a jon boat and this was a great representation!

[@busbys002]

Awesome boat Nate! Thanks for sharing your build.

[@chadcooper7087]

Incredible. I love it. I'm even more inspired to get cranking on my build.

[@KeepFishin]

Nate, I dig it man. I am also a marine and I have 2 Purple Hearts. I have been wanting to make a tiny bass boat in the theme of a Purple Heart also to match my KZbin channel, keep fishin’ which focuses on helping those with PTSD understand that fishing is a true therapy. Again, awesome work brother

Yeah, this was way cool to watch. The end result far blew away what I was expecting. Really top notch, quality work. If someone showed up in my driveway with something like this at Christmas, I would be so thankful. Simply beautiful in craftmanship. Well Done Nate.

Class work many thanks guys

[@ericpierce4510]

Watching your videos for build idea's and how to accomplish certain things. I have a late 50's to early 60's Richline Challenger 14' V-bottom I am working on. Not really sure of the year as a previous owner Refurbished the boat in 1969 and threw away the data plate attached to the wood from the transom. It was consequently registered as a Kansas Home built. With money tight I am slowly transforming it into a decked tiny boat. Thank you for the videos you guys put out, and please keep them coming.

[@batmandalorian5504]

amazing work !

[@henriksodeland8718]

now that is an awsome build... i love that center rod hatch.. im gonna copy that.....

[@PaintballShyguy]

Awesone build. I see now that I need more angle aluminum..I got some 1' square tubing thinking it would be best but I'm liking this.

[@tbnationoutdoors-nateeckhold]

Jorge Rivero thank you

[@JT_70]

Glad to see that you are using 3/16’ diameter rivets. Most other videos use lots of 1/8” rivets. Your pneumatic riveter looks like the one I got from HF. It works great especially when using the larger diameter rivets.

[@theweswillard]

Great job Nate!

Real nice outcome! I personally want some different things but the build quality and forethought is on par no doubt. Id like a lower floor all around & a trolling deck in front but not all the way up to the top. But would love some lockers/storage & a live well ! Nice job Nate!

If rivets were good enough for world war II battleships, they're good enough to catch 4 lb fish.

I need to find out how to get those decals. Getting ready to wrap my Lowe roughneck in a pretty sick skull pattern. When I seen what sham did with wrapping his boat . I knew that I was going to have to soon .

[@bryanhuihui1148]

Beautiful build very inspired to one day build my own don't know a lick about working with aluminum but very comfortable with fiberglass ever consider building one with a steering wheel under 16ft

[@B-DINO]

Nope, there's not enough room on a 16ft as-is let alone with a steering wheel. He's answered that question multiple times in other videos.

[@raysquires17]

Beautiful boat… wish I had talent like that

[@j-town2325]

Sweet ass boat... looking to have someone do my boat out in California.. cant wait to have mine done that way someday...

[@B-DINO]

Do it yourself. Trust me. Save $2,500 for parts. Get the boat and do it yourself. That's what I'm doing. I'm using a friends garage and I have no experience with riveting but if I run into problems I can just purchase the guy's patreon and he will tell you through it step by step and it'll give you access to a ton more videos of the entire process

[@macsmith2092]

That's amazing

[@MrLongboarder87]

Sweet boat build! Get some Cleco fasteners, makes life so much easier.
