1999 DuraCraft 1648 Bass Boat Rehab

Picked up a '99 Duracraft 1648 Bass Boat that has been sitting for at least 6 years. Trying to get it back on the water and sell it.

He’s back. Glad to see you at it again

[@CHSFeed]

First time on your channel. Awesome job on the boat and like the way you share the content. Subscribed and wish you all the best.

[@carsonproductions1220]

The paint you did looks great!

[@Mezunaaa]

Some of your older videos have the comments turned off, but I just wanted to say thank you, your videos have been great as a reference as I work on my Jon boat build. I live in East Tennessee, hopefully I can get it out on the lake before the end of the season

[@jmccarty480]

She's a beauty! I'm in the same boat (pun intended) looking for an older aluminum skiff to pickup and redo.

[@russellg5849]

I like that boat! I have the same trolling motor on my boat and it's a 1989, i was wanting to replace it but it still works good. Glad you showed labels on it. Mine don't have any info on it beside Evinrude, my direction indicator came off also. It yeeted itself off, as my kids said 😅

[@scotthaley344]

First video I could comment on. Love your builds dude. Plus I saw your AAR sticker in one of the videos 😉

[@slabhappylures]

i own the 95 alumacraft 15 ft with the 76 johnson 70 hp i get 42 mph out of her for a little boat she is scary fast but if you want to putt around in 2ft of water this is that boat. love this video

[@daleley7645]

That's a great way to make some extra cash, buy it right and fix the little things is something can't or don't want to do. I enjoy all your videos.

[@countryfriedent]

awesome video.. thanks for sharing! i was shocked how that paint job turned out. i would've fixed that battery wiring too. i was expecting about 40 mph when i seen that 75. i have a 94 alumacraft superhawk (console) that i bought 3 years ago and upgraded. i hear you on the rehab vs the build, haha.

[@melvinrawlings1457]

Hell yea bro great content as usual. I just love that console with the seat built into it in the front. I def want to try amd find one like that for my 14 smokercraft magnum. Keep up the great content and much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤

[@benhardy5829]

Yep. My new fav channel ever. Besides thatboatguy but I mean cmon. More Jon boat builds!

[@moztheravensfan]

another great video

[@timroyall6513]

Great video, and great boat! You should make some good change on it.

[@barntt]

Seafoam !!! The longer you use it the BETTER it Runs IMHO!

[@beavisbrowne3497]

Very cool!!!!!

[@SystemFreak17]

I fish an 03 Duracraft Xtreme 1648. almost the same layout just with thicker gauge aluminum. surprisingly good riding hull I just wish it had a little more horsepower than a 50

[@Chalz108]

18:40 that must be why they had jumper cables in the boat 😂

[@SaNdMaNCuSleep]

Sweet boat. Wish you were close enough for me to come get it. 2 states away from ya.

[@bidkid2020]

I have four batteries one of them is a lithium battery just for the livescope and the other three to run my trolling motor plus other accessories and one dedicated to the gas motor the other two are ran in parallel still 12-volt system but a deeper well to draw from enjoy the video thanks

[@centralcoaster33]

Elbow Grease = $ Nice work! 💪👌

[@InfiniteBeatzAz]

Watching the first few seconds of the video after looking like a idiot at the dump trying to back a trailer up has me feeling some type of way haha

[@backwaterboatrehab]

🤣🤣

[@dwightaustin7577]

You should try painting on some plastic dip on those seats. Several thin coats.

[@terryporche9059]

Check boat speed with a handheld gps unit on ground speed. You will find that the speedometer is wrong.

[@jeffhenson1994]

wait were u been

[@WNCworks]

It should have a stator on the motor that charges the batteries. Probably why they had the batteries connected, so it would charge them both...

[@backwaterboatrehab]

You’re right. I’ve just never seen anyone try to charge both batteries from the motor. Quick internet search shows it is indeed possible though.

[@C_K_Williams]

Batteries in parallel (+ to + and - to -) will maintain 12volts but increase the amp hour to the total of both batteries. Batteries in series (+ to - ) will increase volts but not the amp hour. Two 12 volt batteries in series will create a 24v system.

[@rickypierce8889]

When will we see another vid?

[@greenbowshrimper]

Hey buddy. Not related to this video. But how do you like that transom mounted power pole on your g3? Any regrets mounting to the transom?

[@13hawks32claws]

Nothing wrong with cherry picking a boat to try and recoup some of that burned up Jon boat money. 🤘🏻

[@wattsartworks]

Hey bro- I’m in the middle of a Lowe 1652 full out conversion. I’m going to fish and duck hunt with it. I just started removing the foam from the inside of the rear bench. My wife is seriously questioning my decision to do this as she thinks this styrofoam is what makes the boat float. Now, I know it’s merely used as a supplemental material to hold the boat above the surface after a massive tsunami OR a dreadful capsize. How can I explain this to her in a logical way without causing a war? And….am I even correct in saying it is on the boat for the reasons I stated above or am I way off base, too? Oh and uh, GO VOLS!!! (From Hendersonville, north of Nash.)

[@rexsaye423]

Great video.Hows the quality of duracraft?

[@backwaterboatrehab]

Seems to be pretty good for it’s age.

[@DeeBeeThree446]

Please keep it green.

[@backwaterboatrehab]

Shes staying green... just left with its new owner

[@jackbuchanan5983]

Where are you located at I'm very interested in the boat I have cash but I live in Tennessee

[@vapinbachelor289]

Wowe the comments aren’t turned off? Wow

[@mobile323]

Why turn off comments on your boat painting videos?

[@chrismcbay232]

Hey bud I got a 14ft Jon boat with a damn good trailer and 2 motors I’d sell ya trying to come up with some cash and don’t have time to build the way I want

[@205KingWoolen]

You selling it

[@melvinrawlings1457]

What u did with the seats is janky as shit😂😂😂. If u plan to flip i would def invest in some new ones and just sell for a little more in my opinion bro. That damn thing got on plain real quick

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

Does this dudes city and county know he the one taking all their street signs to use as flooring on his boats?

[@Chalz108]

He has a video where he said he knows someone who works for the road department or something and when a sign gets minimal damage they retire it

[@Chalz108]

Something like that

[@LetsShave61]

If i had the 5k, id buy that ugly green bass boat lol. I love green.
