Just a heads up, that's the wrong style of light for the bow. Bow lights are Red/Green to indicate port and starboard. The white light goes on the stern. This is so boaters at night can identify if your vessel is coming towards, going away, or broadside to them.

[@2vintage]

Yeah I know, I was just using lights I had to test the lights out.

[@matthewlittle6940]

learned something new today lol had no idea. Thanks for the info

[@jackmehoff2961]

@@matthewlittle6940 when anchored at night, you would just run the white light. If you had your nav lights on, it would give the impression you were moving.

[@southernslipping4225]

Lol I don’t think he knew that because he said both lights working

[@jackmehoff2961]

He`s young, he`s learning . I`ve encountered some really dangerous people on the water .

Turning out to be a nice boat put 2vintage on the side of the boat that would be cool . Thanks for all your hard work on the videos and your hard work on the boats and dirt bikes and stuff. Awesome. Keep them coming.

[@robertcraft-pj2jp]

Safety glasses joe!!!👍🏻😊

[@seansysig]

The floatation foam is integral to the safety of the boat and its passengers! It also quiets the ride especially in rough waters.

[@davidmclain43]

No problem just put liquid foam w/spray nozzle

[@notagain8661]

If you use foam, make sure it's "closed cell" or you will be building a sponge brick! 😉

[@GratefulEd907]

I’ve never heard that. I’ve been a lots of small metal boats with no flooring or foam. I assumed it was for noise?

[@donpampel3332]

Our old non floor aluminum boat had the foam built into the seats.

[@danrodgers9295]

@@davidmclain43 do you know how cans that is @ 7-8$ a can? , not to mention good foam going to landfill you daft ignorant person

What a transformation!! I’m excited for you with how this project is turning out! Thanks for the quality videos and hard work.

[@tomdombrovski432]

Doing a great job!, lots of hours yes, but look how many memories you can make with your family, priceless

[@fitzfitz2801]

im all for taking shortcuts where possible but ............... the one you took was removing the styrofoam in the hull and not replacing it its there for several reasons 1 rigitity of the floor , 2 sound deadening , 3 and most important to keep it afloat when it takes on water and it will you wont know the hull is full of water till its sinking the manufacturer put it there for a reason small fishing boats always take on water and you wont know till it has 6-8 inches of water and sinking the sump pump will be under water and most likely will burn out before removing the water

[@derekschwanbeck1725]

That foam would not stop it from sinking.mine sank same boat.its for sound proofing .

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

I've never messed with boats and I never will, but I've gotta tell you I'm a bit concerned about you not replacing the foam under the decking, mate... Manufacturers put it there for a reason... 🤔

[@taftbruce7975]

It takes a ton of hours!! I lost the carpet in my Lund and replaced it with seadek Eva foam , so far it’s awesome, two seasons on the dock !! Love it !!

[@markhensley9378]

Complete metamorphosis! This is a big project for one person. I'm very impressed, I really am. I've done a few boats with my dad and they were all a lot of work and time. Your boat was way dirtier than anything we started with. I'm really looking forward to seeing more on this one. Thanks again for your time today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

[@RickBrown-s3c]

Love the videos. Woodworking tip. Raise the blade on your circular saw to make smaller radius cuts.

[@MrLangDog]

He is the master of understatement. He takes off more decal in 20 minutes with the rubber wheel than he did with heat and razors in 2 hours..."Works pretty good" 🤣 Boat looking good!!!

[@neutonrenda2303]

Cool, I had a Battleship Grey Audi TT back in the day! You would never know it was the same boat looking at the interior already.👍

[@randymelissabutton2159]

I can only assume this is for your personal use, by the way you are going the extra mile. Great transformation!!! Can't wait to see it on the water.

[@elguaguero23]

You did an amazing job on that boat , you really made it look easy, thanks for sharing this video

[@snowyowl7042]

Boat is coming together. Look forward to seeing you and your brothers on the lake

[@danrodgers9295]

Bottom of lake ?

[@chrisryder1546]

Great video. Don’t forget the plug in the back drain

[@scottanderson7160]

The boat is looking great. I learned something new the (eraser wheels). For myself I like circler saws with the blade on the left side, you can see your blade and the cut, there called worm drive saws, you can get then in 7 1/4 or 4 inches. I also preferer to cut on the ground with 2x4 under the sheet. with sawhorses you get the sheet drop and can bind the blade. One more thing its easier using a paint roller, if bend open the roller frame around 3/4 " . You will enjoy the boat keep up the good work.

[@troyrunyan249]

Great job! Lots of work you did on this boat! When using the rubber wheel you had the safety squint going on!

[@larry-wells]

Joe you brought back memories when i did my boat replacing the wood and carpet, think i had more glue on me then the boat.. lol great video.

[@AAE-cg1il]

It’s looking really good. If that motor runs steady for ya……you scored really big.

[@bobbymckinney1264]

Good looking boat 🛥 it sure came along ways from where it was

Great job getting it this far

[@mattdogg02]

Was worried I wasn’t going to see a video today after not having on on Wednesday! Thanks Joe!

[@greathornedowl3644]

Great Job, great project for many of us weekend shade tree mechanics

[@jeremyulmer4724]

To cut arcs with a circular saw, it's best to either set the blade to only stick out a little bit, or hold the saw up so there is much less length of blade in the wood. Makes going around the curves easier.

[@michaeleshbaugh6797]

Or cut releaf cuts that's how I was taught to cut corners or curves but usually use the method wit a band saw

[@wyattblackwood3927]

Jigsaw !

[@sentinobis4261]

yes and put 2x4 under to hold the plywood ..it help a lot^^

[@jackmahogovv]

Looks good. You may want to cut those screws down that are protruding into your storage compartments that you used to mount the hinges. I would end up ripping my hand open on one of those things when trying to get something out of it.

[@blackbartbartholomew7122]

Great Job! I think I would have glued some foam insulation together and filled in where the foam was removed. I’m not a boat specialist by any standard. Still very nice. Get a fold up canopy they’re fairly inexpensive and possibly keep you from getting skin cancer out in the direct sun.

[@RiderJon-offical]

And this video didn’t disappoint once again. Nice job once again!

[@johnkluttz4704]

Joe, Might be a good idea on your interior color. The summer Sun will really heat up that dark color. Maybe a light blue or off white. Great job. Nothing like an old boat.

[@aarongrabowski3775]

Boat looks gr8 now Joe. Nice job!

[@edwardcarpenter2217]

Looks great 🎉 can't wait for the first boat ride

[@danrodgers9295]

It’ll probably leak threw cheap caulk on livewell pump n sink cause he took all foam intended for buoyancy out lol

I've been using cheap oven cleaner to strip paint from my boat. Works awesome so far. Rinses off. Not even using a pressure washer. Just a garden hose.

[@raynyhus2026]

Make sure you get those wheel bearing repacked and new dust caps or bearing buddies installed. Looking good.

[@solanaceae2069]

White light goes on the stern. Needs a green light on starboard and a red on the port side *(of the bow) to be legal to run at night.

You're working fast and steady, Good job ,man . The next Harley you rebuild, I buy it.

[@bankrolldon255]

[@leekarpinski4038]

Grait job Joe

[@stumpy351c]

I highly recommend you put a new prop on the motor. its going to shake and and cause bad vibrations through out the boat and cause excessive ware on the bearings in the lower unit from being out of balance. you will also get much better performance from the motor.

[@kalaharimine]

Nice progress Mr Joe, is it strange that it's so relaxing to see somebody hard at work. Look forward to the actual boating and you and your family having sone fun, I certainly miss it.

[@alanquevedo9696]

Excellent ! I loved the approach less talk, and more workmanship, and for me this is probably the best restoration video I have ever seen. A lot of KZbinrs get longwinded, thank you or getting it because this is what I wanna see great work ! Like to see any changed or mods like lighting or performance enhancements to the boat as well.

[@mmaaddict78]

The primer he used will work. It just won’t hold up for as long as aluminum specific primer. It will still hold up for many years though.

[@danrodgers9295]

Zinc chromate primer for aluminum but he hacked everything else so at least he’s consistent

[@locker1325]

That's a real nice boat. I always prefer a high pedestal seat in the back also. Maybe you can add that later. Hopefully all that would does not add too much weight. It looks heavy.

[@FishingwithCristina]

That boat is beautiful you've done a wonderful job on it.

[@wyattblackwood3927]

Removing the decals and sanding the boat is definitely a job you do while sitting on a cooler full of beer. 😁 Looking sweet, Nice job !

[@zeelastman]

Best thing about a johnson pump is you don't need much caulk, I found it always made my caulk expand to just the right size.

[@OldTimerGarden]

After painting, adding some graphics would look cool.

[@cahallc]

Those eraser wheels dont like heat so next time you use it. Put it on something like a right angle drill with slower rpms. You can press a little harder when slower and works way better ive found

[@Zappy1210]

Looks great Joe. Nicely done sir. Love you content, just a personal suggestion. Perhaps on parts like for instance you spreading glue on the plywood, maybe 4 times speed it up?

[@robertwolfe8680]

You are doing a fantastic job on the boat. I think that you will have a good time riding around and fishing in it. You should change the prop because it will vibrate and shake like crazy. It will also take out the bearings in the lower unit. A new water pump impeller would make a big difference in the cooling of the motor, this is an easy and inexpensive job. Enjoy your boat and please be safe.

[@timjordan3671]

You should put antisieze compound on the lugs, it keeps the threads lubricated and in 51 years I've never lost a lug nut or wheel. I had to spend the night in the woods up near Mt Saint Helen's 1972. We had a flat tire, when Mt brother and I try'd to get the lugnuts off we broke the crossbar. Never had that problem again.
