30 Year Old Aluminium Boat Restoration and Custom Build!

[@ChappoCrothers]

This is great news. To be honest you lost me with the offshore stuff. I’m sure it’s popular and people love it. I always loved the accessibility of your earlier content. Getting out and catching a bream with the best gear you can afford is something I could relate to. I’m excited for this new/old direction.

[@liamhopper6202]

I agree not so keen on the deep offshore stuff

[@georger3239]

Here here!

[@thesaltybadger]

Funny eh , cause offshore is why I watch Timmy. What I’ve learnt from this video is his ability to visualise the potential of an old tinny.

[@officialWWM]

I agree!

[@paulfrench6076]

Nice job on the old girl....just bought an old tinny and you have given me some great ideas. Cheers Paul from Melbourne

[@cameronbamess697]

I was just re watching the boat build series with George and all of a sudden this pops up. How good!

[@novizadventures]

Hahaha me too

[@cakesnipher7024]

Same

[@fritzbatzke4329]

I’m new to your channel and I like how you explain every step in detail…mixing up your content with new and old builds is the way to go…everybody can learn and relate to…keep it coming m8🚤 🎆✌🏽😁

[@jessesmith9818]

I'm here for Timmy Turtle, whether is inshore, offshore or on land. You will always have my support.

[@rickfletcher8422]

Big shoutout to George again!! Man I hope you stay booked out forever!!! If I’m ever in the position I’ll order a boat and just pay the freight to get it south. Timmy once again you’ve blown his build out of the park!! Looking forward to seeing this beautiful rig catching you some Tucker.

[@michaelcurrie5147]

Great work timmy you've come along way from your 100mm polly pipe boats bring on the jack fishing while wating for the pot's to fill with big muddies wishing George a speedy recovery

[@MrHilltop77]

Who doesn’t love a tinny n trailer rebuild!!!! Hell yeah brother!🙌🏴‍☠️🌻🎣

[@MrJoshdeuce]

I know I do!

[@dazl2954]

Love the build videos you've recorded over the years and watching you grow in knowledge and skill. Still go back to watch pipe dreams and catching jacks.

[@mrcrankyank]

Unreal little build mate. A lot of thought got into it, looking forward to seeing the content from the new boat!

[@johnciancio3204]

I absolutely enjoyed watching this video Timmy. You done a really nice build mate👌

[@Creativenativesaustralia]

Keep inshore! Your estuary vids when you first started out was the best. Bream, whiting and flathead, chasing the bread and butter on light gear with lures

[@6knots6]

Nice build bud , great idea on the crab pots , might have to put in some hours with samauri boats to get a new motor , cheers for the vids

[@stephenbriffa2648]

He lives!! Gotta love a random Monday Turtle vid

[@thefishingveteran2853]

Love that you're going back to your roots. The inland fresh water fishing was what first brought me to your channel. On a slightly different, yet also related note, your skiff plans, which I downloaded a few years ago, is finally getting built this year.

[@mojokurk1637]

Hey I would like to get those skiff schematics .

[@thefishingveteran2853]

@mojokurk1637 All I need is an email and I'll send them to you. Well, I'll send them as long as it's OK with Timmy.

[@thefishingveteran2853]

Somehow my replies aren't going through. All I need is an email address and Timmy's blessing and I'll send those plans to you.

[@FishingWithTimmyTurtle]

It’s alright with me. They are in the description of the video I gave the boat away. Free for anyone to download 👍

[@adrianbaker7326]

Really enjoyed this episode. A huge effort to get all that work done, credit to you for giving everything a go.

[@snowybrah]

I used to own a sea hunter 3.7, great stable boat with high sides 🤙

[@johnharris7866]

Great to see you listened to George on the big build he is great teacher and bloke as well a trick is spray the leg with Armorial all nothing sticks to it easy to clean

[@adamsankey8702]

Dead set what an absolute weapon of a rig. I’d be so stoked with the outcome 🤙🏼🍻

[@jamesledwidge1913]

Good work Tim. Really looking forward to seeing this thing on the water. Hopefully it will get you back to one vid a week like the good old days. Cheers

[@ADVENTURE_ONE__]

[@WildTouring]

Love this kinda stuff mate 👌 👏

[@bl4de1977]

What an absolute weapon of a boat just awesome Timmy can’t wait to see it in action on the water love your work mate

[@harrykinnaird2664]

Getting back to your roots. Love this content mate and look forward to supporting your channel again 🤙

[@mattwitt3634]

Massively inspirational series of videos you put out! Thanks so much for the content.

[@anthonykhalil70]

Thx George hope you are feeling better. Good video Tim. Boat looks great.

[@Joebeutel24]

Awesome vid man, looks like a lot of effort went in but will be well worth it with some cheaper adventures to be had! Good luck out there mate keen to see some crabbing, will be good to see ya in the creeks again!

[@SergeKFishing]

Mammoth effort well done. Might see you out around the channel sometime. Bring on the cooler weather!

[@TOM20000]

So frigin cool mate!! Can’t wait to see it in action!

[@leegee3489]

Great job mate, it's come a long way from the day we picked it up. Still can't believe you made it home with that dodgy draw bar. 😂

[@danboutdoors]

Love the boat Timmy! The crab pot holder is a slick idea indeed!!! Although I see how much welding and work went into the rebuild but still a block of wood to raise the motor on the transom…

[@claudiodippolito5686]

Outstanding! Jesus Christ. What a boat build. Congratulations you have done an incredible job

[@regkershaw]

I've said it before and I will say it again bloody George is a legend... What a man he has a big heart. I hope all goes well with his health. In regards to Timmy well done mate. I've been wanting to do some upgrade on my old Quintrex hornet but have been worried about the cost of aluminium so I guess it will never get done. Look forward to seeing you use this boat. I bet Brett is jealous

[@charlierolla9576]

Nice work mate this is exactly what i have been planning on doing definitely some inspiration to pull my finger out

[@Dylanm68]

Timmy your back can you start posting more please man love the video. You got to do a trip with briggsy and cavy and the boys again miss them much love ❤❤

[@Maxrebow]

Reminds me when I was watching you figuring out how to strap those pvc pipes to that sheet of plywood. Ha ha . Thanks Timmy.. Always .

[@townsvilletonners7636]

Well done that tinny looks wicked now

[@samball8389]

Nice Timmy! Love the boat build vids. Maybe you could buy neglected old boats and fix into sweet little tinnies like this and flip them. Timmy turtle boat builds

[@marlibeckford1283]

Hellll yeah, keen to see some adventures!

[@Steele-Robinson]

Awesome stuff mate, so awesome to see how far you’ve come mate and to build 2 awesome boats is wicked mate you’ve come a very long way man wish you the best mate you motivate me to start my own boat build 🤙🏽

[@ThorD4602]

Mate

[@joshjohnson3005]

Well done sir. Looks lovely

[@blokefromthebush]

Great video mate. Well done

[@wurstest]

God bless George. The world needs more people like him.

[@MrNosajwhitey]

In the near future I want to do a project like this and hopefully will get a better idea if it is viable for me through watching your progress

[@TheTorkerman]

Cracking build Timmy!

[@danielolsen2955]

My mate just got a boat like this, in similar condition probs a little better so this will help a lot thanks for the help.

[@6metal6forever6]

Great inspirational vid mate, love ya work. Keep it up.

[@asya9493]

Queensland, boats, water and 1/2 dingo camp dog. Almost as good as NT 😀 Great project mate !

[@niahvail8506]

Awesome bro great job mate , you’ve been missed 🤙

[@DavidScobie]

Nice build mate. Was going to play a drinking game every time you say the word "smick" do a shot but it's only lunchtime here in Northern Ireland and I've got things to do today so can't get blackout drunk hahaha. Also pass on my best wishes to George hope he recovers soon from the surgery.

[@Finz0n]

After all these years, please bring back the og Timmy turtle on his little skiff chasing jacks 🙏 much love bro

[@murrayprosser5082]

Good stuff Timmy i got the same safety boots as you. Doing a cast deck for my 4.2 tinny so good info cheers

[@bobgeldof1038]

Timmy turtle returns at last, looking forward to seeing you out there on the water 🤙

[@huntervalleygroupptyltd3665]

Nice work Tim great video

[@declanwalker4992]

[@brusselsprouts6847]

Awesome looking boat !!! Would be great with a 60hp , you have done a fantastic job

[@KramSeattle]

Awesome build!

[@Rexy888]

Drawbar bolts make a alloy sleeve for em on the inside of draw bar crush tubes mate trailer looks solid 👌

[@mezzthejighead683]

Heaps keen to see this finished

[@cober155]

Im loving this content hopefully The Captain Magazine will do a video article on your builds soon.

[@colinmyers8841]

Hi and Gday from sunny Queensland , good job , to vid this one , thank you , cheers

[@lifeofmattmel]

Nice build mate!

[@chrisholt5001]

Looks good man just finish my inshore boat feels good 👍

[@jyduffy3519]

I was worried when you had shoes on to start the video. Glad to see you did your welding with the toes out 😂 Get something we can buy to support you Timmy, love your stuff

[@johnpineault5456]

All this makes me won’t to move to Australia !😅

[@SD-ft6gs]

I had the opposite reaction! Was worried he was still welding with flip-flops when steel is so much hotter.

[@adhdandme]

Can’t wait to see some fishing out of that thing.

[@joangeddes380]

Amazing work awesome job 👋👍🥰🤗

[@CaptainBax]

Looks like you forgot to put an outboard motor support leg on as well Timmy, it should run from your trailer ( I think I saw the T bracket on the trailer ) up to the leg of the outboard engine when it's tilled up, giving you more clearence. It'll also take some of the weight off and stop it bouncing around on the road, especially those corrugated dirt tracks or in soft sand. Hopefully stop it from putting too much stress on the engine mount or worst case, ripping the engine off if you were to hit a tree stump or rock. Other than that, it came up a treat, you can come and do mine if want next lol.

[@drewmorant]

Great episode

[@mojokurk1637]

Love your channel Timmy

[@Cookerab]

How can we buy George a beer? Maybe you should start Timmy Tinney boat company.

[@mattwalker6305]

Regards trailer would add swing away towbar extension for those muddy soft bush ramps. A walkway for retrieving the boat for hooking the winch hook on with those crocs up there. When get money set the spare wheel on a stub axle so if blow wheel bearing can change over quick.

[@georgeling7727]

Good work. I was hoping you would put a live well in it. Maybe next build.

[@lawsiesteve1649]

Had a Sea Hunter 3.2m as a kid with a 9.8 Merc. Great little boats. The cancer got it in the end, 35 years later.

[@davos1918]

This tinny build is awesome.

[@slowrps13]

Yewww Timmy's back!!

[@codem0de]

I'm very impressed. Have you considered working for George or restoring old tinnies? You're quite skilled at this. I definitely love these builds. Cheers!

[@SPORTFISHING123]

Best design friends

[@pepperedsteak5115]

love ya work timmy

[@regkershaw]

Timmy could you please give me the place you get the foam from as I need to replace the foam in my boat.

[@fredsmith4337]

Great job turtle boy

[@russellcameron9035]

You should do a little go fund me bro so we can get more content from ya! I would be happy to send some dollars

[@Kyle_Moss]

Timmy, sick build. But you'll probably want to put something to hold the crab pots like a bungee or something if they come a bit loose and get caught under that lip on the hatch you'll have a hell of a time getting it open

[@FishingWithTimmyTurtle]

I welded a plate in there as a stopper that the grab pots slide up and down on so they don’t get caught on the lip 👌 forgot to film it

[@Kyle_Moss]

@FishingWithTimmyTurtle love your work mate

[@ontic2354]

Commenting for the algo while still watching the trailer pull down. Timmy, I dare say you might have had an easier cheaper time to buy a similar boat without a trailer and then just build a trailer to suit. Nonetheless, that’s what project rebuilds are for. Hope this all works out well for you. Small boat like this makes sense for more content and less fuel.

[@ontic2354]

Nah, scratch that, I see how much of the old trailer you re-used. Good budget job. I’ll be interested to see how the paint holds up over penetrol. I would think an etch prime and topcoat would have been better. Also, keep an eye on the new gussets and structural members-doing that stuff is generally good, but it does move the weakest link to a new place. Still watching and commenting…

[@jsnmart97]

nice work

[@mojokurk1637]

Timmy how do you get building instructions for the wooden fiberglass skiff ?

[@FishingWithTimmyTurtle]

It’s in description of the video of when I gave the boat away! There is a link there for you to download it

[@jaibrown9386]

Been waiting for this what are you gonna build next turtle

[@SollysOnTheRoad]

Awesome vid mate thanks for taking the time to dick around with cameras and film it all 👍👍🍻

[@ThorD4602]

Damn, hell of a bender.

[@mezame1626]

2mm steel on the trailer how much is left and how much rust inside ya can't see, probably a Chinese trailer, sometimes it's better just to start over

[@DanMeyer-up9ef]

dude you are the best

[@scowy_sg2125]

FMD you could sink the titanic with this thing!! 😂

[@wimtheeuwen7315]

Just 2 video,s in 9 monds, but blaming the gas price and rain. You have some good sponsors to keep you alive. Working sucks hey.

[@FishingWithTimmyTurtle]

I run two channels all my videos have gone on the other channel. Sponsors don’t pay you I make less then minimum wage and it cost me 20k to run the boat last year. in the last 3 months where I have been living has copped 2.7m of rain. 73 raining days out of 91

[@mickthefisherman1562]

@@FishingWithTimmyTurtlegood to see you back Tim, well done.👍

[@joshangel8020]

Timmy, you are killing it this build is impressive. Am not sure if anyone has asked as there are so many comments but how do you go with weights and load distribution, is this something you just know or is it all pre- planned?

[@ofishallsupplies]

Hey Timmy, great work. You've come a long way from the old plywood down pipe setup 👍. Would you mind me asking what type of welder you were using for the Ally work? Was it the same welder you used on the trailer? Cheers in advance. Awesome work again.

[@kylediffusion9879]

Keep it up Timmy

[@FNQOutdoorAdventures]

Sick tinny mate.

[@JosephPossingham]

I can't wait for the crabbing video😉😋😊

[@somethinginthewater3802]

Timmy, wear gloves when applying penetrol. Just take a second and really think about your future mate, if it penetrates metal it's definitely penetrating your dermis. Love the content broskie

[@FlyingFish_TV]

Siiiiiick!

[@CHOPSZOOKER]

You can see where the oringinal u-bolts were on the drawbar before being moved to hold that crack together.
