Dad's Old Boat get a New Life

In 2007 my dad bought this boat. He used it for years before it sat rotting away in his yard for the past 5 years. So we decided it was time to give it a new life!
A huge mission but now its a fish catching weapon!
Watch the last 5 mins to see the boat on the water and the BIG RACE with BEECHEY!
Want your boat looking like this? Hit up Owen from OMP Style!

When you build (or rebuild) a boat you start realising why they are expensive to buy. Love seeing old tinnys gettin rebirthed 👌👌

[@JonnyBrooksFishing]

pretty cool aye. will keep this thing forever now

[@stanleyshelby7460]

Well done Brooksy, as an all-in-one video instead of the old style episodes 1, 2, etc.

[@jordannaumov]

Noticed the tape over the Yamaha logo in the end of the vid. They obviously knocked back the sponno request ey? 😅

HAHAHA

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Broosky, Your a good man. Pimping out your Dads boat for him, very honorable. God bless

[@jonathanwoodburne5657]

You're making me cry, Brooksy. I'm leaking! Can't wait to see you and your Dad catching Barramundi together! You're a good Man and an incredible Soul! I don't have the words, Mate... Just bloody AWESOME! Ya LEGEND!

[@raymondbabb1970]

This is a man that loves his Dad. Can't wait to watch him catch a big slab on video. Well done, Brooksy. I hope my twin 4 year old boys love fishing as much as I do.

[@juanr.1779]

That's great brother hooking dad up is always great God bless you and your family and God bless all of you who are struggling and homeless because of covid-19

[@brisbanefisho9105]

Thanks for this mate! It’s exactly what I need doing to my boat, and I have a Brooker too! I’ll be giving Owen a call tomorrow 🤙🏻

[@vin18m]

Jealous. Glad you did it all in one video and didn’t make us wait to see the final product 👍

Can see how much ya love ya dad ❤ legend brooksy

[@ryanlamb3764]

From that starting point to that finish that's a sweet improvement/ upgrade. Look forward to seeing the trip with your old man if you show it.

[@paulsirens7259]

Immense seeing this one go all the way through, hats off to the lot of you. Made the old man proud I'm sure, loved the way he got in and parked his arse on the seat :) Good on ya Brooksy ;)

[@Arvo_Sesh]

This is bloody awesome mate, massive amount of respect for spreading the love amongst the local small business as well! Busted your balls in the last video "Thought you had become soft mate being on boats all day..." instead of being on the rocks but when it's something as sentimental as this and seeing your mans reaction was priceless! Take it easy Legend 👌👌 Yeww

[@JonnyBrooksFishing]

Hahaha cheers mate! Be good to get the old boy onto a couple of fish

[@roynichols5212]

So cool doing that for your dad. Good on ya mate. Tight lines on those Barras.

[@davidd8435]

Thanks for the content, this is also interesting like the fishing. Your dad is going to be blown away.

[@markroper9269]

Way to go!!! Hooked the old man up!!! You rock!!! Can't wait to see the first fishing trip!!!

[@mungbean84]

You'll have to do another little bonus with the extra footage of the next runs without "flooding" to keep poor old Beechy from cracking the sads. Plus a full walk through of all the bells and whistles once they're in and done. Also hope you're staying out of trouble with the big wet right now.

[@bobgeldof3751]

Great stuff brooksy, well done mate, memories to be made👍👍

[@Dubz_fishing_SA]

What a great video! Good luck catching the giants. That thing moves!

[@rusticthumper5500]

I wish some-one would bring this hull back into production. I had one many years ago and loved it. Thanks for bringing back the memories mate.

Epic vid mate loved seeing the build right through in one go. Keen to see some metery’s hit the deck

[@paulw9293]

These are great vids Brooksy, the old dunga boats (as long as there's no bad corrosion) are massively suited to this kinda transformation. You're definitely on a winner here & its super nice to do this for your old man. Hope he gets the chance to catch a cuppla mad barra yewww 🎣🤙✌

[@AJ29430]

Good job mate, paint the boat’s exterior, Dad will love it inside and out. Cheers for the effort on the channel, from Perth WA

[@frenchtoast963]

Beautiful man. Always wanted a boat and you are kind of making one. It doesn’t get better than that mate! Fully custom! I wish I could even afford a boat.

Cheers mate!

The lithiums are a game changer. I have a 24v 100ah setup as well and go multiple days without charging. Game changer. Good stuff.

[@MikeTOrangeCounty]

Yeeeeeman👍🏼👍🏼SO SICK🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@ripptydevibes2581]

I built my custom 16' jetski jon boat with a very similar carpet decking system and all I gotta say is you gotta get that man a pair of knee pads! With your high speed porposing (bouncing) you can weld two tiny 2" trim tabs made outa 1" angle to cure that bounce. I show that in one of my videos. It doesnt take much!

[@CaseyBoysNorthQueensland]

Looks the goods Brooksy. Bet you’re keen to bring the whip north.

All you need is a side console, 60hp 4 stroke with buoyancy pods each side of the transom and a 60 liter fuel tank under the floor and it would be a perfect allrounder

[@davidchipman7612]

a nice custom wrap on the outside will b smick

This tinny look long as I won the 4.4 aqua master from bergy fishing addiction and have been thinking later on just add big cast deck. I think as it's your dad's boat n doin work go all out spend as much as possible do everything right and get a sick wrap on it

[@greatwhitesfishingadventur2273]

[@That_MexicanSkider]

The higher the pin the faster the boat will go. 😎👌

[@scottypersia5715]

Put a seat in up the front for the old man. A proper seat with arm rests that swivels on a post inserted into the floor. There are plenty on the market. You'll need to cut a hole in the dance floor but you won't regret it. Don't put in a leaning post, they're comfortable about 10 minutes then a literal pain in the arse.

[@chrisoh6627]

Cool video. Humminbird is the best for estuaries etc. Just beware once you put a heavy fourstroke on it and the minn kota etc. You might start to see the structural/design limits of the hull. I have an F60 on a 420 Renegade, the fuel economy is great but top speed is nothing compared to a 60/70hp yamaha two stroke. Obviously the fourstrokes are heavy... A Suzuki DF40 is a beast 900cc but a second hand yamaha F40 would be pretty good and lighter but only 750cc. Plenty of people sell the F40s off Renegades because they lack the torque to push the wide beam hull when loaded up. Although etecs are discontinued 2stroke performance/power to weight is way better then fourstroke in the smaller outboard genre. Won't be long and sub 115hp outboards will be replaced by electric outboards.

[@mrmacaronicheese123]

Have you thought about sacrificial anodes? that's always interested me

Id run deck armour instead of carpet easier to clean still cool under food and pretty soft and you can have it done in cool colours and patterns to match your boat check it out good gear
