Love the series from Maryland

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching from Maryland!

[@johnwalsh6237]

You guys do excellent work!! Beautiful

[@FishBumpTV]

Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@landieballard4563]

Hey brother I enjoy watching your channel. I do fiberglass and gelcoat repair for a living myself. You do really good work and I like your 29 footer you built. Very nice boat brother..

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks you so much! It is always good to hear from other fiberglass and gelcoat guys! I appreciate you watching and commenting

[@hubertanderson7044]

Mark is a man of very few words but it’s great to see you and your brother doing the boat together

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks!

[@jacknewman45]

Man what a build series. I watched all the videos in a few days and now I gotta wait as you put them out haha

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate you watching. More videos coming soon!

[@ropeman3916]

I'd hate to be the first one to smash a weight into that deck!😂

[@FishBumpTV]

It has already gotten its first dings in the gelcoat, that's ok, I know a guy that can fix them! Thanks for watching!

[@AllyXTB]

Excellent workmanship! Most people only see the outside, but it's what isn't seen that means the most. You aren't building a boat, you are building a tank. So happy to see someone else who builds stronger than necessary.

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks so much! We are building this boat to last a lifetime, and then some. Glad you can appreciate that.

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

Incredible work(s) to watch & I'm your average dummy sucking this up..... lol, but you're the right teacher for the likes of me & that's a fairly tall order. I've got to agree that the amount of good quality Prep Work you put into the job will be what measures the final looks & how well it holds up. Half arse'd sanding & failing to be consistent starts showing itself before you ever get finished w/ a project. So I like the extra attention to corners in the hull & all the extra glass work adjoining surfaces that makes it all like one strong piece. Many cut those corners as too hard/too much or not needed. They are if ya want it to last? peace

[@FishBumpTV]

I appreciate that! We believe in doing quality work, and building something that will last for many years. I am happy that you agree with that! It seems like so many things are now designed to just be throw away items. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

Throw Away Society >> Ohh Yeah, don't get me going on what I call the, "Walmart Syndrome" ? They might be the largest employer in the United States but think how many small Mom -n- Pop businesses they've run OUT of Business? When the Walmart's first hit they had to kill Kmart & many other box stores & Amazon which we all use is more of the same but I digress. Yes, I like seeing stuff done the right way b/c it's easier to do the Prep Work now that to fix a problem after you're in the water or to lose the whole project. You proved to me you wanted it done as right as humanly possible. I like that...... peace

[@FishBumpTV]

So true! Thanks for watching!

[@markrowe2227]

The details count especially in a boat build. It’s not only going to be a beautiful boat but a very safe one as well. Can’t wait to see it!

[@FishBumpTV]

Yes Sir! Beauty doesn't matter if she isn't safe and durable. Got to be sure she will bring you home, no matter what the conditions are! I think we got that covered! Thanks for the comment!

[@kennethemichael]

Nice progress. Can't wait to see it finished.

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks Man! Appreciate the comment!

[@pbpager]

The attention to detail and how precise and neat everything is makes this build so addicting to watch. Good job Capt!!! When I go to apply black webbing gel coat, should the base color gel coat be dry or tacky during this process? Anything specific about the nap roller that will achieve that Kenner texture in the gelcoat?

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks! Appreciate you watching! The gel should be tacky when you apply the webbing. A fairly short nap like 3/8 is good all around. Recommend buying a quality roller that is made for resins and gel or you will end up with a lot of roller hair in the finished product. I was using a corona small diameter roller in our livewell-fish boxes on this latest video. They work very well. Good luck with your project!

[@johnbarker2698]

The attention to detail is incredible! Can't wait for the next video, love seeing the progress!

[@FishBumpTV]

Thank You Sir! She is coming right along, Can't wait for our first trip out!

[@sunshineacresbrangus7560]

This is amazing!! Love seeing the details coming together. Great job Uncle Joe and Uncle Mark!!

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks, Man! I really appreciate it! We are getting close to the end now, can't wait for that first fishing trip!

[@tommyreddick5300]

Lookin pretty killer fellas.

[@FishBumpTV]

Thank you, Thank You!!

[@hullhealersboatworksrestor4377]

Man the attention to detail is amazing. Take it from someone in the repair and even boat building industry, it’s so rare to see any kind of pride in building boats today! What mold/replica is this from? The drain recess and using starboard so it didn’t laminate was GENIUS! You been building boats before this one? I’m opposite of you, after 17 years in the business I just sold and closed my shop to become a captain. For 36 years it was my dream and I’m now done with boat refinishing and repair and a captain lol.

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks so much! The hull is my design, it is a boat I have been wanting to build for a while now, it is perfect for my style of fishing. Glad you liked the starboard drain recess, the drains work great in the boat! My father was a boatbuilder, and I grew up around the business, but I always loved fishing and being out on the water. I fish full time during the season, but still take on some boat projects in the off season. Congrats on following your dream! Welcome to the club CAPT! Will you be running fishing trips, or some other offshore work? What part of the country are you in? Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@hullhealersboatworksrestor4377]

@@FishBumpTV I am located in Stuart, Fl so southeast coast. I will be doing bottom fishing and slow pitch jigging charters almost exclusively. The occasional wahoo, dolphin, tuna, sailfish trips as well but I’m a Mutton man at heart. I grew up on the local head boat 2 trips a day in summer as my summer camp/babysitting so I learned how to target and dial in on the snapper young and fell in love from there.

[@FishBumpTV]

Very cool, we are getting into slowpitch Jigging, we really enjoy it. We are in a big red snapper area, very few mutton here. Sounds like you have a great plan. Good luck to ya man!

[@curtisdietz9434]

I love your channel, fantastic information and workmanship!

[@FishBumpTV]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy it!!

[@hankgibson8848]

When you say “primeing” (in this case the Coosa board; do you mean laying down a initial coat of resin? Then the final coat or any glassing is over a still tacky substrate of resin? Can you elaborate? I apologize if it’s been covered in other videos…you mentioned it several times in this vid as something you always do. Thanks and great channel!

[@FishBumpTV]

Happy to clarify. We always apply a primer coat of resin prier to our main application of fiberglass and resin. We usually let it cure first, then we wet out the surface with resin and lay our glass down in it. We always use laminating resin, which will stay tacky even when cured. If you use finishing or waxed resin this can create a problem with bonding and the primed surface would have sanded before adding more layers. We have a recent video titled how to fiberglass over plywood that shows the process in detail. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@mikethedesertrat]

Hi, great video. New subscriber. Q: Do those floor drains drain to the outside of the hull or just into the bilge? If you have a video showing the details of the plumbing can you point me to it? Thanks.

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks, welcome to the channel! They drain outside the hull. I have a video or two in our boatbuilding series that shows some more of the details. Hope they help!

[@richarda241]

What episode did you make the rod holders and how did you attach them to the hull?

[@1957cajun]

First to comment! Good job y’all!

[@jakejacobson2999]

What’s the length of the boat? Very awesome build guys

[@FishBumpTV]

It is 29 ft long. Glad you are enjoying the build! Appreciate you watching!

[@capttomharty]

Gotta ask... is there a hull #2 in the works yet?

[@FishBumpTV]

Nope, still working on Hull#1. Then we are going fishing! No plans for hull #2. Considering selling all molds and patterns when we are done. Appreciate you watching, and commenting!

[@1957cajun]

First to comment today! Good job y’all!

[@FishBumpTV]

Congrats!! Thank You Sir!

[@davidduckworth9094]

Nice work question why on earth don't you use knee pads believe me you will them soon.

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks. My knees don't really bother me, guess I am just lucky that way. But I am not against knee pads or any other kind of PPE. You have to do whatever makes the work more comfortable, and productive for you. There may be some knee pads in my future, who knows! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@Rodneydncn]

Loving your video series! What do you use to color your resin hardener? Food coloring or something resin specific?

[@FishBumpTV]

Thank You! The red dye we use comes from our fiberglass supplier. It seems to be made for this purpose, Other dyes might work but I would hate to risk messing something up. It comes in a very small container and a little goes a long way. I believe I show the container on the video were we are fiber glassing the cap. The thumbnail is titled LETS GLASS. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
