[@markrowe2227]

The Buskens Bay Beast revealed! I love it! Let’s Go!

[@FishBumpTV]

HaHa! You Bet, That's the most excitement I've had in a while! Glad you enjoyed seeing the process!

[@J_Childs]

Congratulations on a smooth delivery doctor Buskens!

[@FishBumpTV]

HaHa! Thanks, it was a Happy Day!!

[@patrickaldrich1140]

I was on the edge of my seat! First I was hollering at you to quit hammering the boat, then I was yelling at Logan - "don't stick your finger in there!" Then I was hollering at Mark when the winch stuck "don't stick your fingers in there Mark! Hit it with the hammer!!!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@FishBumpTV]

HaHa!! I know Right! It was kind of crazy, Wish you could have been there to help out. we could have used you. Glad you found it entertaining!!

[@stevenpratt4699]

I can imagine the sense of accomplishment. Nice job Brothers!!!

[@FishBumpTV]

Yep, it feels pretty good to see a boat that you built pop out of the mold for the first time! Glad we can share the experience with you all. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ericcope8216]

That's awesome, You were pretty calm for all the work that has gone into it so far, I would of had a meltdown.

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks! I tried to stay calm, but it was pretty nerve racking. Especially when the winch wouldn't let the boat back down! Glad it worked out.

[@MyLooneyBin]

[@garyandrews746]

The finished product looks quality i have just completed a 3d first stage model of a full scaled catamaran the waiheke islander that is certainly quite a project to design. Is around 19m long 5m high and 11m wide. Each canoe is around 3.5m wide. The first design has multi hull mast flyover deck main inner deck 4 stairs leading to interior for twin below deck rooms shower and toilet on each canoe. The aft section is wide enough for 4 people seated and all sizing and heights is for a 5.8ft adult. The accomodation section and main deck lower is honeycombed. Main galley is step to below deck with all round views. Keep up the good work.

[@FishBumpTV]

Ver cool, sounds like an awesome project! Thanks for watching!

[@boatrepair8351]

Congrats man! She’s a beauty. So much hard work

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks! It has been the most challenging boat that I've ever built For Sure! Thanks for watching!

[@boatrepair8351]

Next time hook up the water hose and float that bad boy up out of the mold! Def save u from some grey hairs 🤙🏽I’m watching this over and over again. I can see the stoke in ur face

[@FishBumpTV]

@@boatrepair8351 Yep, we used to do that on some of our other molds, she started to separate as soon as I unplugged the vent on the bottom. I could hear the air sucking in, and then she popped! Pretty Exciting!

[@bradthomas2313]

Yes I apologize I watched all of them for a few hours last night because I couldn’t sleep lol shared your videos to all my buddies because I’ve been talking about doing this but my 2 daughters in high school and just graduated high school and I really Love projects like this and they really want to do this and I’m a Home Builder from Framing to finish carpenter so building the mold would definitely not be a problem for sure just got my first ski boat last year and and want a challenge I started watching KZbin channels on Fiberglassing and I am fascinated with this and have watched hundreds of glassing videos(: My father-in-law raced cars and I remember 15 years ago him fiberglassing pretty much after every race LOL which means lots of crashes ha ha but I’ve started fiberglassing and practicing just doing boxes and stuff and gel coating and my father-in-law teaches auto collusion and refinishing at our local college and is taught me how to paint and another buddy owns a autobody shop so the gel coating and painting won’t be a problem the building the mold won’t be a problem fiberglassing won’t be a problem so why the heck not😁seeing how I know a lot of people doing a lot this stuff everyday and hundreds of videos and sorry for this novel😬😝 but none of us have really had boats and really don’t understand the shape that we need to do and it’s hard to find I guess what I would say a set of plans and dimensions so I guess where I’m trying to go with this and your boat is exactly what we are looking for I don’t know what exactly what length yours is but it definitely looks like a perfect size but if you have and have a set of blueprints for your mold and measurements if you would be willing to give or even sell me a set that would be incredibly awesome again sorry for the novel your boat is awesome looks great good job and have a wonderful weekend..(: Fish on my friend hope this made any sense😬 Thx keep making these videos👍🏼👊🏼

[@FishBumpTV]

Glad you found the videos interesting! Thanks for sharing them with your friends and family, that really helps the channel grow! Sounds like you have a good knowledge base, and excitement for this kind of work. I grew up around Boatbuilding and fiberglass work, and our family has built several hundred boats, some over 50 feet in length. The boat I am currently building is 29 feet long, with a 9.5 foot beam. 160 gallons of fuel capacity and projected draft of 15 inches. I plan on using it in our fishing charter business here in Gulf Shores AL. I don't currently have any plans that I can offer for sale, as a lot of what we do is planed out as we go on the shop floor. Since I am the designer, and the builder I don't require the same kind plans that a first time builder might need. I can tell you that it costs LOTS of money, and takes LOTS of time to to build a boat this way, but its certainly possible to do if you have those resources. I am working on a new video right now that details more on how we actually build the molds. I think you will find it very interesting. Hope this answers some of your questions. Thanks for watching, and welcome to the channel!

[@bradthomas2313]

Sounds good I’ll keep an eye out for it.

[@ItsMe-rm9xw]

I will be back down June 11th. Gotta have this thing ready to fish on. Haha. Looks great and looking forward to being on the water again…even on the other boat

[@FishBumpTV]

Awesome! Man, I'm working on it as hard as I can go! It is a massive project. Hope to have it going this sometime this summer. Thanks for watching, and commenting!

Awesome work.

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@ryanhurt8190]

Wow Mr Joe. Uncle Earl McDonald wold be so proud. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Just curious on what the powering will be on the back? Also any idea what the deck layout will be? You are the man. Keep up the good work.

[@FishBumpTV]

Good to hear from you Ryan! Man, I hope Earl would be proud, I miss that guy! Good question on the power and layout. I plan on twin 150, 175 or 200s. But motors are really scarce right now so I might have to go with a big single in the 300 to 400 hp range. It will have a rear deck that's a lot like your 19 ft Buskens, then a large midship live well, leaning post, and tackle center all in one. Then forward of the console a large cooler for clean ice, and drinks. Then seating for 4 to 6 in a u shape configuration. With a 4 foot bow deck, with a large anchor locker. If your ever in the area give me a call and I will give you a tour of the shop. I really appreciate you watching and commenting on the channel!

[@ryanhurt8190]

I’m still overseas but I will hopefully be home in august. Can’t wait to see it.

[@Bentleymetalworx]

Makes my salt boatworks 14' build seem trivial lol. Late to the party but excellent work and design. I'm near silverhill I had no idea we had this level of skill local.

[@FishBumpTV]

There is a lot of work in any boatbuilding project, I wouldn't consider a skiff build trivial at all! I am considering doing a skiff build project at some point on the channel because I think it is the perfect kind of boat to start your boatbuilding journey on! Thanks for watching and commenting, it is much appreciated

[@Bentleymetalworx]

@@FishBumpTV Yeah these Flats style skiffs are taking off in popularity. There's Lots of conflicting info on methods and materials out there. I know auto paint and body but these resins/ poly and epoxy compatibility took a min.

[@FishBumpTV]

Yes, marine and automotive may have some similarly, but definitely not the same! There can be a learning curve for sure, I hope the channel will help shorten that learning curve for some of our viewers. Thanks again for watching!

Hi Joe, I found out about your channel this evening from Joy Rob..... I snowbird down in GS, and didn't see any of you guys last winter because of covid. Was out to your place when you were working on the plug?? about 3 or 4 yrs ago. Nice to see it come out of the mold. Would have liked to see that in person. Sure looks nice. Probably see you guys in a couple of months. Tell Mark hi from me. Jim

[@FishBumpTV]

Hi Jim, Good to hear from you! Yep, covid has messed everybodys schedule up. Had hoped to have the boat done by now. We are back to work on it now that the charter season has slowed down. Hope to post a new boatbuilding vid soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.

saya suka perahunya .panjang dan lebarnya serasi..❤

[@FishBumpTV]

Thank You, Glad you like it!

[@artongashi6206]

Very very nice, how many layers of gelcoat should be used and how many layers of fiberglass should be used to achieve the right thicknessy? And what should be the sufficient thickness of the body of this ship?..

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks, Glad You enjoyed the video! We typically do 2 coats of gelcoat, one coat sprayed horizontally, and one sprayed vertically on the mold. There are 10 layers of biaxial glass on the bottom, which would be 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick. The sides are 6 layers which would be 1/4 to 5/16 inch thick. Hope this was helpful!

[@artongashi6206]

Thank you, yes this helps me a lot, I work with Fiberglass mat and I want to work a boat for 8 people with dimensions 5m x 2.2m . But I have little knowledge and for this reason I asked you.

[@bradthomas2313]

So did you build your mold on your own as well and if so did you come up with your own shape or how did you go about doing this I would love to start a project for my off time for the next couple years. :-) And it looks awesome by the way great job(:

[@FishBumpTV]

Yes, So It started by drawing a side view, and a overhead view with a scale ruler. I knew what size boat I wanted to build based on boats I have owned in the past. the problem was, nothing like what I wanted was on the market. After drawing the plans the next step was to build whats called a plug or pattern. It's the mold, for the actual Mold that you build the boat hull in. The plug, or pattern is a exact replica of the boat you want to build, but it's built out of wood and is faired out with specialized fillers and primers. Then the plug is polished and waxed to perfection. The actual mold is built on the outside of the plug, it consists of 18 layers of hand laid fiberglass, then heavily braced with framing and more fiberglass. It is a pretty complex process, I have been working on it for 6 years in my spare time and have spent tens of thousands on the project so far. I had hoped when I shared this on youtube it might inspire and inform! There are several more boat building episodes other than just the one of us pulling the hull from the mold, be sure to check them all out as there is lots of info and details in them. Hope this answers some of your questions. Thanks for watching, and welcome to the channel!

[@DOC17p]

Thanks you for shared your amazing videos.the must informatively and helpful that I can find on you tube. My dreams is build my own boat.I saw the progress of your job and I learning to much but I would like that yo(if it’s possible)help me in some details for example when you may a plug wit 1/4” carpenter plywood and staples you put a fiberglass before filler and primer and second what gecko and resin

[@DOC17p]

Sorry ,what resin pump sprayer do you used and where u can buy?thanks in advance

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks! I would be happy to answer some of your questions. Yes, you would first fill the spaces between the plywood strips with filler. Then fiberglass over everything, then apply more filler, and fair it out. Then your primer. You would want to use a high quality tooling resin when building the mold. Your local resin supplier should be able to make a recommendation. The resin pump that we used is a Phoenix Apollo, I believe they are located in Florida. The one we are using was not brand new, we got it used. Hope this answers some of your questions, And good luck with your project!

[@mosalim7119]

nice boat and work what is the deadrise of this hull

[@FishBumpTV]

Thanks! It is a true variable deadrise hull, but the average at the transom is 17 degrees. length over all is 28 ft 10 inches. fuel capacity is 160 gallons, estimated draft is 15 inches. plan on powering it with twin 150 175 or 200 hp outboards. Appreciate the views and comment!

[@getcrazyfpv2498]

Sick!!

[@FishBumpTV]

THANKS! We just posted a video of the first ride, with the whole build documented in between. Hope you enjoy it, and I appreciate you watching!

[@xersis31]

How many layers does fiberglass have to be for it to be a boat

[@FishBumpTV]

Small boats could have as few as 2 or 3. Large boats could have 20 or more. The boat we are building has 10 layers of 1708 biaxial glass on the bottom and 5 on the sides.

[@billleeds4938]

[@Whalermansteve84]

What’s your total investment so far ? Looks like a sweet boat

[@FishBumpTV]

That's a good question. It's hard to say for sure. That's because I've been working on it for several years during the winter months, and have been buying supplies as needed. The build is really in three parts, the Plug, the Mold, Then the actual Boat. I'm sure I have thousands of hours, and tens of thousands of dollars in it so far. I can tell you this, It has takin more time, and money than I thought it would! By the way, thanks for subscribing, and commenting. I really appreciate it!

[@ArjayMartin]

How heavy is it? How many layers of fibreglass? How big is it? Why did it take years?

[@FishBumpTV]

I estimate the finished weight to be around 4500 pounds, dry weight. That would be without fuel, batteries, or motors. There are 10 layers of biaxel glass on the bottom, and 6 layers on the sides. The boat measures 28 ft 10 inches down the centerline with a 9 ft 6 inch width. It has taken years because I am building it mostly by myself, and I run a year round fishing charter business that keeps me very busy. I also had to build the plug or pattern for the boat, then the actual mold was built off that , then the boat was built out of the mold. It's a very labor intensive, and expensive process! There are several other videos on my channel that explain a lot more of the process in greater detail. hope this answers your questions. Thanks for watching, and welcome to the channel!

[@ArjayMartin]

@@FishBumpTV thank you for answering. Could you employ people (firstly on a share of the business basis, so not as bad for cash flow) and start pumping the boats out to sell? What would the retail price be of that boat? $150k?

[@FishBumpTV]

We may build some boats for sale in the future, but right now we are just focusing on finishing this one for our charter business. The finished cost for a boat like this could be anywhere from 150 - 200k depending on options.

U need bond braker

[@FishBumpTV]

The first hull out of a new mold is usually a little tougher to release, especially will a rolled edge design. After we introduced a little air through a fitting on the bottom she popped out pretty easy. But I will check out the bond breaker for future projects, Thanks for the suggestion!
