Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth these past months. I’ve been struggling a lot with my mental health and it got to a bad point. Sometimes it just gets to be too much and hard to put a face on for the camera so needed to take some time for myself and find a new happiness and figure myself out. Kinda cliché to say but everything is just so much brighter now. I haven’t been this Happy in so long I forgot what it felt like. It’s not easy to reach out and talk about mental health but it is so worth it. Luckily I was able to reach out to close friends of mine and they helped me through it. Please make an effort if you’re ever in a dark spot in life. You are never a burden, you are worth a lot in someone heart even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment. ❤️ Thank you all! More videos to come and a whole new Zach that I’m excited about 🤙🏼 Love you all!

[@kennypool]

That's why God made zanex.

[@hobbytrucker]

Got to look after number 1 Zach. Glad to know you’re ok. Take care brother !!

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

@@kennypool I’m more into permanent fixes 😉😂

[@enochpowellslibrarian5595]

Great to see you back 👍 I've missed your builds . Glad you're feeling better 😎

[@JordanRakoske]

Glad to see your back and everything is good. Love your content and just bought my first boat because of this channel. Thanks for all you do.

[@jasonbanks5664]

Glad you are starting to feel better. I think you are lowballing yourself. $49,999 is probably closer to the right price. Your time is more valuable than that.

[@that_guy_pual]

honestly it's an all custom job I think it could push a little over $50,000

[@chrisreed2346]

Agreed

[@librado06]

Up here in Michigan I just saw one similar to his build and they were asking $64k no upper deck

[@nickazzarello6846]

I agree with this group. That a $50k boat. Don’t under estimate your time you have in the boat. You should be paying yourself a fair amount for the time and effort you have in it. Love the boat man! Thanks for keeping us entertained.

[@bgreene008]

Reiterating what everyone's saying, practically new and entirely one-of-a-kind, $50k is a legitimate starting point. Especially knowing prices recently! The buyer can also watch its construction from start to finish, qualming any worries they may have about quality.

[@treggmichelleliebler399]

Love the build! I agree with the comments below. You're lowballing your work. That boat is worth at least 50K. Glad your feeling better. Really enjoy your videos. Your skills are impressive.

[@Samcrac]

Looking good Zach! Great to see you back!

[@stateofmainefishing]

So nice to hear your back . I am a 55 year old that is just in awww of your work . who came acrossed your channel and love what you do so keep up the great work you do! there are more people out here like me that love what you do just remember that.

[@gregorychris8264]

Zach I’m glad you are back, I thought something bad had happened to you. Glad to hear that you are in a better spot

[@JBR.1974]

have missed your videos but am glad to hear you took time for yourself...we will all be here when you're ready. hope you're on the mend and look forward to seeing more of your content as and when..

[@justinonline99]

Zach, so glad you're back - but more importantly, that so glad that you're taking care of yourself. Thanks for the courage in sharing your struggles, and know that you are not alone. Keep using your talents and being an inspiration to many, young and old!

[@tda2806]

Hang in there, I did when I was your age and I am still around in my sixties. I am sometimes happy, sometimes sad but always looking forward to what tomorrow brings.

[@tokalanz]

I'm glad you're feeling better, we have missed your videos. I'm glad you took the time to get yourself right.

[@tony_wilson]

I was glad to see this pop up! I purchased a 1999 pontoon, my first boat, and it needs a re-fresh. I have learned a lot watching you work on yours and helped me understand the scope of work, resources for parts, and rough cost estimates. I have seen other comments on your videos about how you inspire, take on and finish cool projects, and help others along the way. Many people will say all the wrong things, but you are a brave soul to put it out there on YT and show what you like and what you are capable of. Good job my friend, and carry on.

[@adamwalters394]

So glad you're back and and even happier you're feeling better. Your channel is by far my favorite one. Me and my friends often discuss your builds around the campfire. Appreciate the content, keep up the great work you do. Us Canadians need this content to watch during the cold winters while we wait and dream of the pending summer. Cheers

[@johnbmailer]

So glad to see you making videos again! But more happy that you are in a better spot now. It's definitely a process, and I'm glad you were able to take some time for yourself.

[@ChannelJanis]

45'000 would be a nice listing price. This is a great boat, would love to have it, but I have other stuff to care about :) You are a really great person, great to see you back.

[@olelaugesen3413]

Sorry to hear about your troubles, but happy that you are back and getting better

[@checkheck8875]

Glad you are back, you've got some mad skills, and I love learning from you. I too went into a not so happy time. I found some projects to pull me out and am in a much happier place. Keep moving forward and know you are great at what you do and are highly valued! Much love, my guy!

[@mdhaynes86]

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I always love watching your videos.

[@tylersanders6080]

YES!! So happy you took time to take care of yourself. We're looking forward to your future videos!

[@Pete_R63]

Wow! I have been wondering where you have been! Welcome back! You have been missed.

[@properfunny]

I finally had your video recommended. Glad to see you are feeling better and I hope to see more of your amazing builds in the future.

[@htownblue11]

Great to see you post again and give a full recap. That build was truly ultimate and did take a while for you. Great to see you back in action.

[@MostynFaulkner]

Love it that you are back on KZbin....Thanks.

[@douglucas427]

Excited for you man. You inspired my boat restoration. I get so many compliments and alot of it was from watching you. I know what it's like to go through that. I do as well. Keep up the positivity.

[@jimlake1478]

I loved all of your Pontoon projects, You're very creative, and have a fantastic eye for detail. Would love to watch another build!

[@staboned333]

Very glad your back. Cant wait for the next project!

[@longjohn77]

Glad you're back! No shame in taking time out to get better. Looking forward to your next projects.

[@charlesallen5425]

Great video, great editing, your narrating was right on point and just love how much pride you put into your work! Keep it up man.

[@cigarjefe]

Self regulating is important and the absolute mature thing to do.

[@biginkdog]

That’s an excellent deal for someone ! I wouldn’t go a penny less . There’s a ton of excellent craftsmanship in that boat !

[@Thetherian4859]

Great job again. Love your full-build videos!

[@chrisreed2346]

Glad to see you back Zach. Hang in there and keep up the good work.

[@benscott1872]

Good to see you back! Nice compilation video. I followed your work and know this was a HUGE project. Good luck with the sale. Wish you the best!

[@minnielife9509]

Glad your back and happier than before. Wish you the best. Take care and when you need to get away just do it.

[@teamplanetaudioben]

Really glad to see you again bro. Love the videos. Glad you are feeling better. Mental health issues are no joke. Been struggling with it my whole life.

[@davidr250]

I came across your channel while looking at some Seadoo rebuilds you had going. I have to say I'm extremely impressed with your ambition taking on such big projects. You have a great eye for design and great mechanical skills. Keep it up and I'll keep looking for some more projects you have going!!

[@jasonpingree]

Welcome back! I have missed you and your channel. Cheers buddy.

[@lewkerby]

I was extatic to see you posted a video Zack. I have been checking weekly just in case I missed a notification. I know it seems weird to hear a stranger say they were worried from your absence but understand your content inspires and entertains others. You establish connections to people through your work and dont even realize it. Mental health is imperative and its good you took the time to help yourself (with the help of others). Im glad to see you are back and keep up the great work. Can't wait to see what is coming next.

[@chrissibersky4617]

I love your videos. It's interesting, educational and entertaining to watch you work on these different projects. I like your "just do it" approach and you have a good eye for design both technical and visual. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@mehagel65]

Welcome back, glad to have your videos again.

[@yossid422]

Holy cow , looks who is back.

[@schneider1670419]

Your super talented. I’m thinking of taking on a pontoon project and in researching came across your channel. Your inspiration has swayed me to take it on. I’m not as talented as you are with the tools but I’m going to give it a shot. Thanks, appreciate you, and I’m glad your feeling better.

[@davidlarson2534]

It is a year later now. I would guess the value at 45 to 50K. I appreciate the work you put into your builds, and your humility. I’m in SoCal, we don’t have lakes. The closest decent lake is Lake Mead, 5 hours away. But I would love to do a project like this. Very distressed pontoons start at 15K out here.

[@JWhit-bb3nu]

Hey man, just finished completely rebuilding my pontoon and want to thank you for the inspiration and confidence to get it done. Even on cold and rainy days, I'd watch your videos to keep me driven. Lol.

[@johnbailey2002]

Glad you are back. Really missed your video's. Keep well.

[@tiffanydiaz791]

That thing is sooooo fabulous! Great job! Looks like y'all had a great time! 🎉

[@prestonspicer8116]

So happy your back and glad u took care of yourself! I missed ya and glad u are ok! I know the struggle of mental health as well!

[@pdaguytom]

Zach, I think the boat came out fantastic and considering that it's like 85% new, your ask in right in line compared to market. Glad you took some time for yourself and that you have friends that were able to help you through the fog. Glad your back!

[@briandavies9261]

Hi brother I agree with the the one 55 yr old guy I'm 54 and I'm amazed at you skills, hard work, and designs !! Great work young man I'm proud of you keep up the great work !!

[@jonsmith6496]

Glad you’re back

[@darylreece7840]

I enjoy your channel. You are a creative person. Lots of creative people struggle with the mental health aspect so I am glad to hear you have found support to get you through to the bright side. I hope you keep building these interesting projects.

[@dianeruiz0721]

This is my first time catching your channel and wow, you were amazing! You should be extremely proud of yourself.

[@jordanevans6282]

Man I missed your videos!! Love ur genuine honesty!

[@randyroth6115]

Nice job on the pontoon. You are very talented and you love what your doing and it really shows through your work and your vids. Kudos to you for standing up for your friends. It's amazing to me how people can make an opinion about something when they only see a small fraction of what they are voicing their opinions on. You have amazing friends and you are an amazing friend yourself. Keep the positive energy flowing and it will cancel out the negative. I really enjoyed your vid. My father once told me something, he said "you can't look inner peace from without. You can only find inner peace from within. Sometimes you just gotta take the phone off the hook and let everyone get a busy signal." I think your dad will understand the reference. lol Thank you for sharing your talent and always take care of yourself.

[@Trophy9869]

Great job on the rebuild. Glad your back.

[@Formerlywarmer]

So good to see a youngster with the drive and ability to do projects like this. Nice job kidd!

[@jenniferspharjenn42]

You do some very beautiful work to this boat and you gave an old boat a new life love it 100%

[@projectcarl2706]

Welcome back. Life’s a struggle. Tinkering in the garage is how I deal with it. But we all have our own vises to deal with things. Glad your good.

[@TheSlider535]

Keep up the great work you do, your Dad must be proud of you, I wish i had a grand son like you !

[@TunTavernWarrior2]

It’s about time. I’ve missed you!

[@rayp44]

Awesome job on this boat as always with your builds. $40,000 is a bargain for this boat. Boats are crazy high right now and a newish boat with all of these features would be $60 - $80 K. Cant wait to see what you will do next!

[@SilverApe976]

Been wondering where you went, sure have missed your content. Always take care of yourself first, Welcome back man!

[@johnbentley6925]

Well done Zach! Been hoping that you were ok. Don’t underplay your achievements … what you have done is amazing. Try not to be so hard on yourself … best wishes from all your friends in Oz

[@MrJerobona]

You did an amazing job! 40K is real cheap! Congratulations!

[@jshanecook]

That boat is worth 40k I've followed the build and am currently rebuilding my 27ft Sweetwater. I've used your videos for ideas and motivation. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@yodasbff3395]

Missed your downloads, glad you are back.👍 You built a beautiful boat that you can be very proud of. I too prefer to work alone, it's a lot less complicated, hang in there.

[@99Z286SPD]

Just watched that entire video. What an awesome build sir. Fantastic job.

[@latataie]

I love from the bottom of my heart everything you do from your own soul, from your own heart. Keep up what you are doing, you are an inspiration to many, even those who are 53 years old like me, or younger or older than me.. Greetings from Romania. Dearfully. 💯❤

[@csigouin1]

Glad to have you back. Sometimes you need a break from yourself let alone the pressure of having to deliver to a waiting audience. I hope you find joy in your projects. Though your friends are the first people you instinctively turn to, please consider reveiving (continuing to receive) professional counseling.

[@BruceOnLocation]

I'm impressed with your workmanship.

[@renegades1982]

Always take time for yourself BEFORE anyone or any thing. You cant help others if you arent right. Huge fan...keep it up brother!

[@ddmd.322]

Yessss new content. Missed you

[@CaptainAtSea]

So happy to see you back! :)

[@kdreed96]

Great build! One idea, replace the lava rock in the fireplace with decorative glass. More of a modern look to match the boat.

[@mattdeilke3587]

Selling yourself short. This is a brand new boat with features and quality that should easily bring $50k. Excellent work and video.

[@trbstang]

We have certainly missed you Zach! But certainly take care of yourself first. We will all still be here. I think this is a great recap of the project and you are asking a very fair price for it considering it is almost all new. Almost like a fully restored classic Mustang with 90% new sheet metal! Lol! Good luck with the sale, and we are looking forward to the next rebuild adventures ahead for you!

[@frass-vd6gl]

Life is amazing. I just thought of your channel a couple days ago and wondering whatsup. So glad you are feeling better.

[@michaellingo640]

Glad to see you are better Zach. Enjoy your life and live it to the fullest. God is love my friend.

[@01bezey]

Man this is crazy i build these at work and why am i enjoying you dling this more then going to work

[@gregaltman737]

Just found your channel today. I really really love it!!!

[@jayburrough4308]

When I turn the volume up so I can hear you and when a advertisers comes on it was so loud It scared me so bad I spit my coffee out everywhere LoL 😂😂😂😂

[@robertmyers4155]

You did a great job! It looks great! It should have been sold by now!

[@abdelhamidofficiel2513]

hi. I follow you from Morocco and I like your videos very much And your work is so wonderful. good job👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@BladeDreams]

WOW! I watched all of your build videos, and have to say this turned out NICE! Of course we are all different, and have different Ideas ( reason you like to work alone I bet), Somethings you added I wouldnt have... That said, Your asking price is very fair all things considered (maybe a little low...). Id be up for it myself...but Not that drive or the return with the boat...LOL! Hope you stay Healthy and sell this quick! And make some more much loved Videos! Thank you !

[@gustavoespinosa9750]

I suffer a lot Anxiety and depression . And I relax and Kind of forgot about it watching ur vids So keep doing videos I’m sure I’m not the only one

[@NickC_21]

Finally you posted again

[@johnwayne6753]

$40K for this boat compared to others out there. Well, worth and very fair. He forgot to mention the trailer and upgrades on it. Look at other trailers in comparison. Personally, I would have set the price higher. Great video and well done build. 1st time on this channel. Found due to searching rebuild boats. ReBuilding a 91 Larson fish and ski with 3 liter inboard. Making just a family boat out of it and removing fishing deck. Found some great information and websites for this build here. Thanks for sharing it all.

[@dbk81]

Great looking boat. Well done.

[@daggs3756]

Hi Zack so glad u you are feeling better I can understand what you have been going through my self over that last year or so been up against Mental health issues. My family and friends been great . All I want to say if you wake up breathing everything else is a bonus your videos and work ethic’s are amazing respect to you and your family All the best Andy

[@kanecarolan9663]

Looking forward to some new paint jobs, your pretty good at them. ✌🏻

[@traceyhibbs5209]

Glad to see you back. Enjoy your videos. Ignore the idiots!

[@jefferyholland]

Hang in there Zach, you have more folks who appreciate you than you know and wish you only the best. We love your projects and creative thinking but most of all it is about you and your creative mind and work ethic. I enjoy the videos and remember what Monty Python said, always look on the bright side of life .

[@johnfernandez4146]

It came out very nice and it’s worth that money I’m glad to see that you’re back on the air I was wondering what happened I hope everything is good with you I can’t wait to see the next episodes

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

I think you are being WAY more than fair in your pricing Zack. You put a lot of your sweat and heart into it and that's worth something! If you were out west here, you'd EASILY get over $50K for it. Keep up the great work! Always look forward to your projects/vids! And thank goodness you were able to lean on those around you for help. It is priceless!!! ❤

[@jimlake1478]

And hoping you do well with the sale, Truly a one of a kind Boat!👍👍👍

[@melissabreedlove8211]

I’m so glad ur getting back to a happy place for urself… there is such a stigma around mental health and I’m so very proud u have talked about ur struggle in a public way, it may help others to understand they aren’t alone and can get the help needed. I NEVER email anyone from KZbin, I just feel like there is some boundaries that shldnt be broken.. however I will admit I did email u a cpl of wks ago… I was really concerned, I felt like the last video u uploaded u was sick with a cold/Covid or something and then u just dropped off.. thankfully ur ok!! Just please if something was to ever happen to u can u maybe have ur sister or someone update the page so we can pray for u and the family? 😂

[@godzpowr]

Dude… You are sickly talented! I don’t know how you were able to invest like you did for this project. Just the time alone, let alone the money. I bet you’re living on this bad boy now. I have nothing but respect for you man. Great work. You could make a good living customizing these for high end customers.

[@hovilove]

Sick boat, job well done.

[@wx401]

Welcome back!

[@roguesrt]

Great video, also I feel like you’re in my backyard. Shout out from Lakeland!
