[@TheDtrolinder]

Beautiful job.. my worries are over. Now to finish my hatches.. Thanks!

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I greatly appreciate it, good luck on it man!

[@Realestateinspection]

Attention to detail is paramount, nice job!

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Thanks man

[@CJKeegs]

Dope boat

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Thanks man

[@dennisjordan9004]

Very well done. Nice and neat. Sometimes you have to walk away from a difficult problem to clear your head and it always seems you come back with a solution. Great job!

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Most definitely! Thanks so much.

[@WAEofFishing]

Great work as usual. Your attention to detail and cleanliness is ridiculous!

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Thanks man! Getting there!

[@druhake7618]

Just started watching your videos man and I have to say you have "Inspired" me for sure.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Awesome man! Now go build a bad ass boat!

[@druhake7618]

@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats I'm trying to man that's for sure. I picked one up a month or so ago. Already had a few mods to it. I added a few things to it for now so I can fish it this year and see what I like and dont like so over the winter it will be my project.

[@troy4119]

Why didn't you just countersink a couple of holes in the wood and then seal it instead of grinding the screw heads?

[@tylera1796]

I know this has nothing to do with the hidden hinges but how did you install the boat seat deck plates so that they are hidden?

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

One is inset into framing under casting deck, one is built in to underside of livewell hatch, one is mounted to middle bench under decking. Follow on Instagram for detailed images of all. ADUBJONES on there

[@ARob16x]

For an easier route piano hinges are pretty well hidden and way easier and way faster to install. Plus long term they will last

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I had trouble finding a 1/4 inch piano hinge. Also the whole point was not tying hatches into the deck but tying into the framing. But if I did half inch decking I'd be piano hinging all day!

[@PureFishermenTV]

Nice work Anthony. These two videos will help a ton when I do my hinges sunday, Love the attention to detail man. Thanks for the vids

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Awesome, glad it can help! Not the easiest method or best based on preference but how I did mine.

[@PureFishermenTV]

@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats All good man !

[@PureFishermenTV]

Hey I'm curious which latches you used for your doors. I have a decent sized 3/4" thick door and contemplating using a stainless handle or plastic. Just wondering how you feel about the long term durability of yours.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

@@PureFishermenTV I am currently filming my latch video. Step by step, shows how to modify them, put them in , a couple things extra I do to need them up, also my thoughts on the product and what I actually used.

[@PureFishermenTV]

@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats alright thanks. I'm in a bit of a rush so I'll go stainless. Glad to hear your'e making a video on it, thanks!

[@flaindiantownflaindiantown7171]

Brother everyone of your videos is just so on point. The boat looks amazing because you put all your love into it and you are truly a perfectionist.

[@jeffwardecke2230]

google "double offset piano hinge" :-) work great and you can cut to desired lengths. Great Vid!!

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Thank for the suggestion! Much appreciated!

[@northernoutdooradventures3883]

Set the clutch on your drill and it will be even more consistent then hand torquing your screws. Practice on a scrap piece of hatch material to get the right clutch setting.

[@centralcoastcamper9631]

Clean installation with attention to detail. Great work!

[@chipsammich2078]

Looking good man. I hope they hold up long term.. I don't want to be a hater but I'm skeptical.. like you said they're small but if they feel good and are aligned perfect the pins and hinges should last a long time..

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I was skeptical too but just like my thin decking it's all in the construction process. If they suck ill let you guys know in my review videodown the road. They work greatthough,feel real solid, line up nicely. It's amazing what that bit of adhesive does to tie everything together a little bit better. Also, I baby my stuff so I'm thinking not beating the hell out of it when I use it will probably help. lol

[@andylimb]

Once again another great video. I would love to see a walk around recap at the end of one of the videos.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I will do a reveal video going in depth on entire build when boat is done.

[@jwc111684]

Why grind the screws down when you can just clearance the decking?

[@offgridwhitetails8768]

Anthony Very nice brother. Question. Why would you not use quality grab pop rivet vs having to grind down screws ? Let me know If this boat comes up for sale. I want first grabs. Lol.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I used screws to tie into the wood framing. There is wood under the metal around the livewell and the whole rear is wood framing. I felt it would work better. You never know, boat may be for sale to a serious buyer.

[@offgridwhitetails8768]

Anthony Jones makes sense now. I should e known that seeing I’ve watched the damn build. Lol. Anyway. I’m serious if priced right. Priced right may not be the correct terminology of course taken in account the man hours put into a project like this.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

@@offgridwhitetails8768 Yeah man I know I'd never get the labor back. I'm going to build another boat though. Still figuring how I want to do it though. - Build a TopGun2 faster and better than than TopGun1 , keep it and sell 1. - Build 2 based off a client ordering it and I build it for them - or just build a simpler version of TopGun1 and sell it.

[@Realestateinspection]

I see you use stainless screws, what about hinge? Zinc, Nickel I know you painted them.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

They are 1inch by 1 inch satin nickel sanded and painted. We will see how they do, I'm confident they will be ok. I got them at Lowe's, manufacturer is Gatehouse
