BUILDING A FISHING BOAT In my Garage (Start to Finish)

In 2018 I built a fishing boat in my garage. It's 25' long 86.5'' at the chine and 102 at the top. The built took 9 months to complete and is one of my bigger accomplishments to date hope y'all enjoy.

Nothing more satisfying than watching a craftsman create something.

[@sharonkasper5126]

Truly one of a kind aluminum boat. Structural aluminum is not cheap but labor and determination is free. Nice job.

[@slange455]

Labor is not cheap you can always be doing something else that actually pays you if you got this level of skill and a shop

[@mikexhotmail]

@@slange455 And then get that money to buy....a boat?

[@tedwards1679]

And the wife wonders why i watch KZbin. Awesome build!

[@ohkay3644]

Have a look at the lateral line on KZbin great fishing show and shows some pretty cool boat builds too

[@BigBeavrSlayer]

The sheer amount of time and welding wire is astounding, the scope of this kind of custom build is what assures me your content will always be fantastic and I will always be here watching Stu. Fantastic work!

[@jasongrinnell1986]

I was wondering how much wire it took. This is a fantastic build.

[@AdventuresOutdoors]

Total Respect... amazing work. Few people would take on a job like this. Great results!

[@thomaswashington5006]

Success is when it floats on the water … not in your head. Excellent, thank you for sharing

[@mikelee6936]

Just found you. I'm from and still in Louisiana. I can appreciate a well built boat as well as anyone else. This boat is without a doubt the most well built aluminum boat I have ever seen, nd I have been around 71 years. Great job. Stay safe....... subbed

[@reelnraideroutdoors2932]

I was listening to River Certified last night back from the lake…. Awesome boat. Awesome skills!

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

If production boats were made that well no one would ever need but one their entire lives! Really nice job!

[@Reeser00]

This thing is a tank! Amazing work. I can’t even find the time/motivation to put a new floor in my boat. 🤣

[@patriot2864]

True Industrial Artist! Beautiful work.

[@hookmore2023]

Fantastic video. I usually start to watch videos like this then move on to the next with out finishing it. But man......watched to the end . What a great boat have some greats times in it ...a treasure for sure.

[@paulherbert9353]

Always dream to have a boat like this of my own .... really admire his work and effort you put in to it..... i wish to go fishing on this boat

[@mikecole1624]

Hey Stu. This definitely the coolest time lapse video on KZbin. Awesome job!

[@steelheadxxxx]

Very well built this boat, all the work on this boat looks great, so strong built that you can call it the ‘elephant taxi....good safe boat👍👍

[@chriswilke]

This is unbelievable. Great job. I wish I had the skills to do this.

[@shoresharp8349]

Great build what a hell of a undertaking!

[@frankfrank5821]

Very nice build wish I could go back in time and learned skills like this it's awesome to see the work that goes into building something like this. Thankyou for sharing 👍

[@ronniegillaspy]

That there folks is one hell of a fabricator!!!!

[@ryanperry9472]

Wow man! That has to be a seriously strong boat! Amazing work!

[@waynepollard7823]

Amazing job, I remember watching the first video in the series and can't waiting to see the next then the next, and getting to watch you fish out of it! Very well done!!

[@bigjimar77]

OUSTANDING! alot of hard work paid off. Awesome boat.

[@robertjenkins9747]

Outstanding metal work. That is built like a tank. I loved the Transom design and build. Lot of $ in all that Aluminum. Great video. I'll check for the individual videos.

[@bryantblake1877]

Wow! Nice job, especially the welding! That boat will last 2 lifetimes! 😊

[@garyogreen6958]

I like the video and awesome job on the boat. Wish we could've got a little closer look at your finished set up. Nice work !

[@davidrivera6599]

inspiration happens everyday and you guys are that inspiration. well done!

[@Umakemelaff]

Nice! Welding on the floor before a float test! Bold!

[@423alonso]

👏👏👏 my hat of to you Sir amazing work and craftsmanship God bless....

[@johntrew7980]

What an awesome creation! Thanks for sharing! Superb talent.

[@pauldrake2170]

that is the reason I started watching your channel.... It really was epic for sure

[@arkyhunter2750]

Watched it all when you built it. Amazing to say the least, awesome boat. And you didn't even have a nautical engineer or whatever that crazy dude kept ranting about. In my opinion you have one of the most fishing friendly boats I have ever seen.

[@TheGuruStud]

It's built at least 10x as strong as necessary. O_O

[@kevinmelton914]

Seriously that's impressive! That had to feel so rewarding

[@jjc032681]

Dang man, I admire the skill. Great work.

[@bbcustomoutdoors]

What an accomplishment! That thing is built like a tank, it seems.

[@adrockey]

Dude! That a navel battle ship! I started watching your channel because of this build. I just don't remember how much bracing you did in the bottom of the hull. Awesome build! Now you just need to mount a few 50 cals on top of it and become your own Navy. LOL

[@solexxx8588]

Aluminum is such a great material to work with. A water-cooled spool gun will make the job easier and faster. Great job buddy!

[@elbertspears2757]

Very impressed great job man! It was a pleasure to meet you at Lake Fork..

[@jaykreed2718]

Very awesome!!! Would really like some more info on this build. Very curious on an around about cost of just material. No time included. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. Watched the whole build on your other channel. I’m just now ready to make a move.

[@gerlanaraujo1527]

Sensacional demais 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 fantástico. Parabéns pelo belo trabalho.

[@TheNick08332]

Love the boat i want one like that with dual consoles all the way up front where the whole back of the boats open to fish and big bait tank

[@BASSNGRASS]

That was the coolest thing I’ve watched in a while..Awesome work

[@ralphpearson5420]

You my friend are a bad ass in every sense of the word. Enjoyed the video congratulations on your efforts.

[@kennethdavis459]

Great job very nice boat wish I had one I love the great outdoors and fishing

[@Kahramdy.]

Great job bro very nice boat I wish I could have it and cross the Mediterranean sea great job👍

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Wow this is by far the most impressive boat build on youtube Man your stress levels must have been astronomically high the first time you put that boat in the water

[@alteredexistence4115]

That had to be quite expensive, but in most ways worth it because your getting exactly what you want. I just want to turn my 14 ft. aluminum into a "bass/fishing" boat and I don't know how or where to start. I can't and dont have the equipment to weld either, could use rivets but dont want to poke a ton of holes in the hull. Anyway, well done!!

[@huntingNfishingwithcnboutdoors]

That’s kool to say you built your own boat.😎🤙🏾💪🏾

[@geraldbalciarjr651]

Good Job, That is a good size tiller.

[@roberthance1187]

That's a big boat man lol... So much room for activities!

[@dindogecain5393]

[@capt.shaffer8655]

Major manufacturers should take tips from you. What an awesome boat!

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

[@gerlanaraujo1527]

Ótimo trabalho ficou ótimo sensacional 👍👏👏👏✌️💪

[@dylanthurman87]

I’d like to know what the material cost was

[@ISOSAILING]

[@vieuxacadian9455]

Parabéns pelo trabalho meu amigo

[@jimmycaltabellatta5575]

Truly amazing.

[@ak8511]

Great work buddy! I too am building a speed boat at my home 🏠

[@SurprisedHidingCat-ug7fn]

Nice boat and great ride

[@garypollard9770]

I am just amazed by this. Your fabrication skills and imagination are great! Did you have some kind of a pattern or did you just draw this up on your own and start building? Would love to do this but my skills are not as good as yours and don’t have a shop! My son is fixing to build one soon tho!🤔

[@Flembgemb]

This is an awesome video and series I was curious if you kept track of the costs during this build. I am wanting to build something very similar just a few feet shorter and would like to know a ballpark estimate on what it would cost. for the material and consumables. Trailer, motor, electronics and everything else would be a separate cost. I understand if that is something you would prefer not to discuss on here though. An alternative option would be if you had a parts list of everything you used to build it. I appreciate any information you have for someone wanting to start this journey. Thank you

[@alistairfurnell126]

Hay nice Boat build man.New Zealand

[@harrismachineproductsinc.8324]

I have to commend you for taking on such a project and finishing it! Well done! How hours did you have in it?

[@thecableguy1128]

[@shanemckay8204]

Watched most of the series on your other channel still very impressed. What kind of welder did you use for the aluminum

[@nannamoonpiee]

Amazing job. You are Very talented

[@rodneywroten2994]

I watch every video you did on the boat. awesome job sir. Is it everything you hoped for?

[@BlindSymmetryLurePainting]

Nice job , she's a beast. 👍👍👍

[@jeffb8781]

Wow what a job. Long days I hate to ask how much materials cost on this build but a really nice job. 👌

[@driftlesshermit9731]

Nice job ! Looks better than anything that is commercially made. She's a tank. I'm really curious about material price.

[@antonhuman8446]

Excellently executed!

[@lildaddymc.1502]

I tell you what that is a master piece I got a 14 foot jon boat I am thinking about cutting in half and making it wider and a few inches deeper

[@mikerafone4736]

Outstanding project, very well done. Still, you should be wearing PFD's

[@sethblack5309]
