Project Mako IS SUMMERTIME READY! Nonskid and gelcoat prep and application !

[@ytsponge6658]

"Half whatever you want to call it." I love technical terminology! The work you've put into the boat looks amazing. You guys are doing a great job. So much closer to getting on the water. Can't wait to see you out there!

[@CheyenneLeeBehrsin]

Thank you so much! Sometimes I have to filter my language a bit😂 videos of us catching fish on it coming up this week!

[@stevedoe1286]

@@CheyenneLeeBehrsin I have seen on Instagram but would like to know what was that big fish you caught posted a couple of days ago

[@Plumpplumberbalding]

It's cool to see y'all fixin' up a boat. Makes your videos mean more. As you've said, you're a 5th generation, so fiberglass ain't nothing but a thing. I lived in Key West 30 years ago, and we had a fiberglass party fixing a dinged up hull. Appreciate that you're doing the lower budget thing. Cheers!

[@young11984]

Not removing those rod holders would have drove me crazy every time i got on the boat lol, i cut a hole to access the back side and used it as a speaker hole when i was done with mine. The taping around the console and access door in the floor was a nice touch and looks great, i used the Sea Sucker double drink holder with dry box on mine as its suction cup mounted and easy to move around or take off to use near the grill when cooking out. Its looking great and cant wait to see some fish being brought in on it, be safe out there.

[@stevewolfakaheliarc2696]

What a fantastic Job you guys did on this Mako! Just beautiful!!!

[@leebrowwski]

Such a photogenic and amiable duo. I dare say that a television deal for the new series Flip that boat! should start up. Congratulations.

[@CheyenneLeeBehrsin]

Thank you ☺️ That would be fun! We actually had such a good time doing it that we want to do more! Lol

[@redfishradical]

Round edges are THE BOMB... Daaaaaaaayyyyyuhhmmm-nation!! KILLER JOB Cheyenne!! Congratulations on all of that hard work paying off so nicely and your new Piscatorial Plunder Vehicle being ready to go slay & fillet! Work ethic 2nd to NONE, MAD SKILLS as an Outdoorswoman Extraordinaire, Culinary Skills, you're fun & funny and-oh yeah BTW, step off the edge of the world beautiful.

This comment made my day! I loved it! So THANK YOU!!

Came out looking great Cheyenne. I can't wait to see you out on the water.

[@chadmitchell5634]

i restored an old chapperal 204 fisherman a few years ago teak and all and recently bought a new center console but still wish i had just done another restore on something like that so great job keep it up .

[@rickmiller4152]

awesome job on the Mako!! It is so much fun watching your progress...... have a ball !!!

[@CheyenneLeeBehrsin]

Thanks Rick!!

[@akarooster3399]

I'm so interested in these reno vids. Cheyenne. Please keep the vids comming. I can't wait for the final product. Although, as I think about it, it'll never end. Keep living the life. 👍

[@Kristian_Saile]

Wow, this turned out great. Just picked up a ‘90 Mako 22 for free but it’s been sitting unused for 10 years, outside in Northern Michigan so to put it lightly, it needs some stuff... 😆 Thanks fot the inspiration

[@gilbertdelgado6703]

I noticed when you were having difficulty trying to remove some rod holders, your screwdriver was not exactly a top of the line tool. Phillips head screwdriver tips wear out and in turn strip the screw heads out. Get a good brand magnetic tip screwdriver so you can use replaceable tips. When removing stubborn screws, apply heavy downward force while turning the driver and that will help tremendously. You can also tap on the end of the driver handle with a ball peen hammer as you turn the driver. Good luck on the next boat project, this boat looks amazing, love the aqua color.

[@mastagator]

I think that’s a great job. It really did come out well.

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

This is so much fun to follow, so cool to see some real people , using elbow grease to get to their dream. You guys are fantastic, keep sharing the videos they are awesome :)

[@deanyoung6133]

It looks very nice Cheyenne Lee I'm sure your going to get a lot of enjoyment out of your boat :-)

[@txhypnotist]

Perfect for the price and I'm sure there will be more boats in you guys futures to rebuild. Had fun. That's all that really matters when it comes to projects of all types.

[@TheRunForrestRunxx]

I just bought the same mako. Curios what size the console is? LxWxH? i like the open room on this set up and I am looking to go the same route. But i will be doing the complete restoration from stringers up over the next year. Awesome boat and keep the videos coming!

Great Project ! Those CW Trees are invasive and dangerous, chop it down! lol Great paint job....As they say in da Islands..."So far, so good....."

I didn’t realize they were invasive or dangerous 😬 guess that CW will have to go

[@karlgharst5420]

Caulk the edge of the blue tape - then wipe off thoroughly with a wet rag for sharp lines!

Be fun to see the finished project. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidlinihan3626]

Looks very nice! I like the colors. Waiting for the next update.

[@CheyenneLeeBehrsin]

Thank you! Now to pick a color for the hull. I like the idea of white but it’s also tempting to do the same shade of blue as the deck

[@davidlinihan3626]

Cheyenne Lee I like that blue. Subtle but enough color to stand out.

[@scottblackwell5789]

I'd love to see you do some surfing Cheyenne....I'll bet you bring the entire beach to a standstill!!!!

[@jeromesuggs8330]

Haven't read all the comments but try a pump up sprayer when applying bleach.Your hands and forearm will thank you. Lol. Looking great guys.

[@CheyenneLeeBehrsin]

That’s a genius idea! I detail boats too so that would come in handy!

[@jaredlocklear720]

Great job on the boat and love the color, any plans for commercial fishing with the boat? Or scuba diving?

[@CheyenneLeeBehrsin]

Most likely not scuba diving but yes to commercial. Just Spanish mackerel which I’m not looking forward to now that the boats all pretty

[@jaredlocklear720]

I understand they do make a mess. But it will make for another great boat re-do paint job...lol Can’t add and price tag on fun!!

[@gilbertdelgado6703]

Some of the guys I fished with for Albacore here in California would put a 30 gal plastic garbage can on board they would put water in about half way and would bleed the fish in that. It helped a lot to keep the boat clean.

[@cvgamg]

That’s a lot of damn work ! Looks great tho you guys 🦅

If you guys rub talc powder on your skin that is exposed it will keep you from keeping so itchy and also have a cool shower afterward not hot

Wow, boat looks great, much better! Why not paint the hull, you can roll it and still look great.

[@DHKEYWEST1]

Boston Whaler blue.

[@DHKEYWEST1]

Whaler use the blue for many years, then they cam out with a off tan which was not hard on your eyes and not as hot on your feet, but they all pounded your ass to death. New Whalers are not as bad. But they are narrow boats.

[@danielunderhill6086]

I had the same thought on the blue. A friend of mine had a 13’ BW with a 70 hp. It would literally jump out of the water on take off and chine out of control eventually at top speed. The transom started to crack so he bolted up 2 steel brackets for reinforcement. Dangerous boat but not too many of our friends could out run it. Good times on the water!

Have you seen the series on Florida Sportsman dealing with boats like yours? I remember reading about a cool catamaran flats boat a guy made and then I discovered him at the boat ramp in Tampa!, that was 30 years ago. Put a wetsuit on under that and you’ll lose weight!

[@CheyenneLeeBehrsin]

Haha I think I’d pass out if I put a wetsuit on too😅 yes to the florida sportsman show I love project dream boat!

[@DHKEYWEST1]

Still wearing flip flops. LOL

[@drewcama5481]

Oh I thought a Mako was a fish! Yeah that's right, hardware not appliances, to be a technical know it all. I'm sure you appreciate that. Are you bleaching in your bare feet? Are you pressure washing in flip flops? Oh the workman's safety board would not be impressed. Mr. know it all suggest frog tape for masking so the paint doesn't bleed under the tape and you have nice crisp lines. The cup idea is smart. Powder blue and now just a little pink for a delicate contrast!
