Dude this looks great, I like it a lot more than other conversions I’ve seen.

[@CastingWithCJ]

Thanks, I have an update video coming out next Wednesday showing some new additions!

[@sativa2050]

great work on the boat and video!

[@rtshort]

Nice looking boat. You did a great job.

[@CastingWithCJ]

Thanks

[@timbiffis6306]

Looks like you put a greasy 2 stroke on it. Looks awesome

[@Sidneycarson87]

Hhhaaarrrd‼️ new subscriber here 🫡 Man this video just got me fired up for real! I’m looking to do the same thing after Christmas. I appreciated the content no doubt. I was looking to see how to message you about the boat details, but I couldn’t figure it…

[@CastingWithCJ]

What would you like to know?

[@HarlyGuy13]

Very nice build. How much more would you say it would have cost to use aluminum rather than plywood? Again great job!

[@CastingWithCJ]

I would have to look at tiny boat nations website but it took 2 8ft prices for the top deck and one 8ft price fore the walls of the compartments.

[@johnlongest5488]

Great job man. That's a lot of work. Curious about the rivet attachment you found on amazon for your drill.

[@CastingWithCJ]

Yeah it’s an attachment that the drill chuck latches onto and has a handle you hold so it can work like a normal rivet gun but it’s super cheap it also came with different sizes for whatever type of rivet your using.

I meant to comment from my fishing channel…2 new subscribers lol

[@dwirt1515]

Wow, Great Job! You mentioned in the video the name of the company where you got the aluminum framing from. What is the company name/link?

[@CastingWithCJ]

Tiny Boat Nation

Thinking about doing something similar, what size trolling motor did you get and what did you do for batteries?

[@CastingWithCJ]

I have a 12v 55lb thrust minn kota on it and I run one battery for that. I’m posting an update video soon with the new rear motor that runs on 3 lithium batteries

[@midwest_finesse11fishingch47]

@@CastingWithCJ awesome thanks! How many ah is it? And how long during the day does it last? I know that depends on conditions but just looking for a rough average if I do something like this.

[@CastingWithCJ]

@@midwest_finesse11fishingch47 I use a deep cycle lead acid for my trolling motor and it lasts all day I’ve never had it die and if you wanted a lithium I bet you could get a couple days worth of use out of a 100ah.

[@joshmontgomery866]

Curious if you ever got around to getting your lid struts?

[@CastingWithCJ]

I did I actually recently installed them I will be making a better update video soon

[@outofbody6797]

i have the same boat, do you have an IG? im referencing from youtube builds and you have the exact boat i have, to the T. what grit did u use to sand the exterior paint?

[@CastingWithCJ]

Yeah CastingWithCJ On Instagram. And I used 120 to get the most of it off and then smoothed it with some 240

[@BrunellHoneycutt]

What paint did you use

[@CastingWithCJ]

I used rustoleum paint for the main coat and rustoleum aluminum primer for the base

[@carlitomadethatbeat]
