This is the first time I've seen anyone convert a $100 garden planter into a boat. Great job!

[@chipschleichardt5641]

This is the right way to flip a boat. There's value in the hard work and expertise that goes into making it right for a buyer. A lot of flippers don't know anything about getting a boat right for a buyer, instead they lie and mislead people for a quick profit. A good example is, checking the lower unit, finding milky oil, putting in new oil and saying it's been freshly serviced, without fixing anything at all.

[@iain1969]

You sure spotted a diamond in the rough there. Well done on seeing through the leaves and ferns and spotting the potential in the old girl. It's absolutely incredible how well the hull and motor cleaned up and for the motor to be in such good mechanical condition.....WOW!!! Not even a carb clean or impeller change needed!!!! Well done champ - you deserve the good fortune and as always thanks for the video.

[@therealbeedubbs35]

There’s zero chance that impeller will last. Spend the $40 and just change it. IMO

I live in Michigan and have several aluminum boats ranging from 12 to 18ft and different styles. I drive around and if I see a boat that looks like it hasn't been used in years, and if it interests me I knock and inquire. I want a fiberglass center console, but I have similar apprehensions as you...stringers, transom, etc. Good luck in your quest.

I just bought my 20ft Bullet w 225XS mercury! I’m now selling my 1 owner ME ,06 18ft Ranger w 150 Optimax it’s perfect, I bought it brand new it only has 30 hours on it! I’m asking 20k, it’s all ways been garaged! So their you go, this same package today cost 59k!

[@ammoalamo6485]

@@jimmycline4778 That $59k boat, and even the $20k boat, are the reasons why people are looking for a bargain watercraft. It is extremely difficult to justify paying the price of a new car for something that gets used 30 hours per year or less. A boat really does not appear to have that much cost of materials and labor built to justify the high price. Sure when you get into the fancy yacht-like cabin cruisers you pay for fine woodwork and joinery and design, but a bass boat, a ski boat, a party boat - they are very basic as far as not having any fine materials. Looking at Cragslist I see lots of boats here in North Texas. The prices are all over the map for fishing and family recreation boats like the ones this guy refurbishes.
