Good for you sticking to your guns and having them strip it completely to make sure there's no rot...Prudence pays off!You saved yourself future headaches!Always enjoy your sense of humour and candid remarks... keep doing the right thing!

[@gregsecore9625]

don't stress over one turkey with a big mouth that don't know what he's talking about with the plywood, you're always going to run into them things the bigger your channel get the more turkeys that will come on :-) I'm very happy to see that you are doing that boat right awesome job buddy glad to see you crack the whip. And demanded it done your way I'm happy for you

As a pipe fitter in the food processing industry I learned 304 stainless steel is somewhat magnetic . It will not hold up to different acids, salts, and other chemicals. Factories switched to 316 stainless steel , it helped. Some food processing methods caused Stainless steel to become pitted an wear away. Citric acid in stainless steel tanker trucks were always being repaired. That just backs up what your saying.

[@DHarri9977]

Hey Justin, things are moving along nicely the unseen details of the build are interesting looking forward to seeing more progress.

[@nicolacrickmar8829]

Always best to have a template, you don't want to waste any due to a bad cut. Just ignore the bashers saying you are using ordinary plywood not Marine, its so obvious that you are only going to do this once so it will be a large five star Diving boat. 'The tide is high' back to the Blondie song! Lol. Love the T Shirts.

[@nevergiveup-db6fp]

Hey Justin, please read ! when the fiberglass resin did not set up, it was mixed wrong not enough Hardner when the Bondo balls up under their putty knife it’s got too much Hardner you might assign one guy to do all the mixing so it’s all the same after you train him, how to do it, right And then take an aspirin, so you don’t get a heart attack😀

[@Maintenance63]

Back in the 70's I pulled rubber straps and cotton out of the seams on old wooden yachts.

[@rickylee6129]

Good Video Justin and Crew 😊. Keep the video's comin. Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏

[@becoming-humble8745]

When you are dealing with brass, bronze nails or screws ( soft metal) you can use a much smaller diameter drill bit. and pre drill a pilot hole. Wrap a piece of masking tape around the bit as a depth guage ( so you don't drill deeper than length of screw or nail ) . It's time consuming but you can use screws or get nails in without breaking or bending.

[@messtime]

USING COPPER NAILS - You may have to pre-drill holes in hard wood.

Fork lift with extensions on the forks.

[@mikeheyjoebuenavistadreamin272]

looking good so far.

[@claribelpalomares260]

We're back on track! Boat reskin looking nice. Can't wait for the paint job to start, see what color you've come up to. Thanks guys for the video.

[@sammoyers905]

Glad to see the boat is back on track. Reskinning is looking good. Can't wait to see the neon yellow paint scheme.... 😊😊 Good to see you smiling again Justin.

[@lingdinh4510]

You have to ask James how to do it. He knows more than Google. I see he is now trying to take the shine of your boat build series by working on his.

[@CritterHunter]

Na, he told me a while back he's got a project coming

[@wcguthrie]

How about black bottom, yellow hull, black superstructure and white trim? "Super Critter"

[@jbpost52]

Hello Jason, been watching a lot of your videos since you had teamed up with Finn Snow after Adette. Have been enjoying the boat tow and rebuild and a big congratulations on your school and investment in the store and rentals. I just wanted to say one thing about your desire for all new and good quality in the build. As a tradesman myself, the truth is, it's the weakest link which causes failure, so getting the right wood and nails is very important for the long duration of your project.

[@mviking39]

Interesting

[@elmiewebster2596]

Yay on track again 🎉

[@gregsecore9625]

the puzzle pieces you're talking about technical name for them is templates they use them little shabby pieces that they have on the boat now and they put it on the other would end a use that piece as a template to make sure they have the right shapes and everything with the peace. I'm not being a wiseguy buddy I only trying to help you out with the right terminology when I heard you say that that's all, I am not a Mr. know it all I'm only doing back to try to help you to know the right terminology. I'm sure some other turkeys on your youtub are much more critical but like I said there's a few turkeys in every crowd. :-) Awesome job body awesome

[@kuzinit2374]

They make a epoxy resin that can be used with the fiberglass mat , it is better then polyester resin and sticks better to everything, and you can count on it drying properly if you mix it properly, it is expensive , not fiberglassing is dumb

[@raycatlin3554]

🎯 👍

[@lucinatan9615]

and it wouldnt be practical to use those wide scrappers you bought for the workers because those epoxies are very thick in consistency versus the drywall putty that you were used to . It would bext to impossible to handle the epoxy with those wide scrappers.

[@Maintenance63]

Fabricate a gin pole

[@rexmascarina2169]

The boat 🛶 need to be durable .

[@nevergiveup-db6fp]

I think you should she sheet the entire outside of the boat with copper sheeting, and then weld the Seams It will be awesome and install a giant barbecue pit and brass stripper poles 😀🌴🌴🍺🍺

[@francesmcdonald8145]

Justin we have boat 🛥️ in Philippines made solid from mahogany wood 🪵 and its it’s still alive it’s still going.more than 50 years, our furniture in United state us from Mahogany wood if we can find cypresswood, it would be nice to thanks for sharing

[@CritterHunter]

Ya this one is mostly mohagany also

[@u.s.3984]

Hi Justin and the rest of the gang another interesting video hope all is going according to plan you have a great day 🛥️🛥️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🥃🥃💸💸💸🦀🦀🍻cheers

[@johnrobert2022]

outriggers made of fiberglass ? never let good thing go to waist

[@johnrobert2022]

my waste

[@JohnTaylor-yk9hl]

Philippine has different grades coffie stainless lots of fake stainless including nails that are fake stainless

[@johnrobert2022]

built to last ,now have to find a safe harbor so this does not get wrecked again in a storm,Tambobo bay

[@CritterHunter]

That's easy

[@ldioneil07]

At the end of this would you say it was worth it doing this or just maybe just build from scratch or buy a already built one?

[@CritterHunter]

Maybe I'll tell you at the end of this

[@charlesanderson6986]

Awesome boat Justin can’t wait to see the finished product. I wanted to ask maybe it’s a dumb question . But is there any insurance you can buy in case your boat is damaged from a hurricane or natural disaster. Just curious but I think probably not

[@turgutvelettin6727]

Justin boat is coming along nicely but I think at least you should do the bottom half fibreglass Also will you be foaming the inside

[@lucinatan9615]

is putting epoxy going to be the same as putting fiberglass on it? It will seal the surface and cause the wood to rot. Fiberglass use epoxy to bond the fibers too.

[@builtnotboughtmadeinphilip3955]

Hey Bro, whats going to be your plan in the next major Typhoon. Im lucky in my location. it's completely protected waters

[@CritterHunter]

We have a protected bay. All the dive shops go in

[@felixlujan4809]

Make sure that you have someone there to keep track of the materials that you are buying and are being used on your boat. In your last video, you kept saying they are good workers yet they tried to pull a fast on you by not replacing some of the rotten boards. Trust no one buddy Make sure you have someone there all the time when you are not around. You are spending a lot of money on expensive materials. You still have major issues with repairs Justin. The front end ( Bow ) the right side ( Starboard ) the left side ( Port ) and the upper portion (Gunwale ) are, where the impact/brunt of the waves hit when you are traveling in high-speed conditions or even in normal conditions. The video still shows a lot of rotten wood on that boat. Glad that you are taking measures to replace and repair it. You also need to find a good bonding agent/adhesive/epoxy that is 100 percent waterproof to cover up all the corners of the wood being replaced or you will still have issues with leaks.

[@CritterHunter]

I wasn't born yesterday bud, and I specifically showed the last remaining rotted parts that needed replaced. Also, that's the back of the boat, not the front.

[@EAGLE-ju8fc]

Haha, back not front. Nice comeback. We had cousins build our house. Excellent job, mostly but they were so sneaky. Selling gas that was for generator, overcharging for materials they sourced. Whenever I arrived for surprise visit at 10.00 they were still asleep. Silly buggers cost themselves work on our future projects. Left bad blood now between my wife and her brother. The application of the epoxy on the nail holes still looks terrible and why not fill board joins at the same time? New convert to your channel and enjoying it immensely. What's the deal with the resort? Looking back on old vids, not up to it yet. Keep up your good work.

[@CritterHunter]

@@EAGLE-ju8fc the resort and dive shop super busy. And I'm hiring more help so that we can get out more content for every subject, not just the boat! Lots going on!

[@bigblue1287]

Looking great Justin. You still have a long way to go but you will get there. Do not take James's advice! My friend is a professional fiberglasser. He said James is 1,000% wrong. I had to vet that information cuz James just flies by the seat of his pants and never finishes a project. ❤

[@CritterHunter]

Well we talked to a dozen fiberglass guys, all said same. Also, I've been to james house, and van vouch personally that he finishes a lot of huge projects

[@pogioldsarge2798]

I’m sure there is a reason to not drill pilot holes to help with the copper nails?

[@CritterHunter]

Not much fun drilling 1000 little holes

[@pogioldsarge2798]

@@CritterHunter cheaper than bending 1000 copper nails. Is there a lubricant they can use on them?

[@gregsecore9625]

yes that is a good thing that you did insist on taking off them boards, the money that you're putting into this boat you want it done right, I don't mean to leave so many comments but I love watching this kind of stuff being done good call

[@bigblue1287]

Justin are we going to get cost on the boat cost for materials The cost of a new boat comparable to what you're doing. That would make it so much more interesting You're not giving us enough information my brother.❤

[@CritterHunter]

Probably not.

[@richsadventures1889]

Hey Justin, are you guys opened for Hotel Buisness? Google says temporarily closed.

[@CritterHunter]

Yep. It says sierra resort is closed? I think it just says the scuba office is closed after 5pm
