HYDRO TURF INSTALL Complete Step-By-Step {Jon Boat to Bass Boat Conversion} Alumacraft 1232

This is an exciting part of the jon boat to bass conversion of this Alumacraft 1232. Hydro turf really brought this boat to life. I'll guide you through the process sharing things that I learned along the way as I turfed this boat. This hydro turf is the cut grove camo version. There are a few other versions of hydro turf out there on the market but the cut grove allows you to hide your joints really well. Leave a like for me and subscribe to the channel if you haven't yet. The reveal is coming up next so stay tuned.

turning out like a winner

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Yessirr

[@scarface-39]

Nice install

[@johnathansmith1373]

Well done , looks good! I’m working on my first Jon boat conversion. Installing a deck and electrical now

[@timcarter9146]

Looks really good. I wouldof went with black in the sides cause that read doesn’t match at all stands out.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Me too. Not my boat though.

[@yaknlife6894]

My wife is going to be mad at you, because now I want to build a boat 😂. Great work, love your vids! Very in depth and super informative!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks. Just save her a special seat on the boat 😃🤙🏾👍🏾🎣🐟

[@blancosfamilyfarm1798]

Im already there my brother 🤣 she's not exactly mad but aint thrilled either!!! hahahahaa.. She's like "your gonna spend how much on that little boat" 🤣

[@sicardmd]

I figured it out! I know why this man had his wife and son pop in and out for short cameos. It was simply to prove he is human. It was so enjoyable watching an artist work. No swollen ego. No apology for doing it his way. I smashed the 'Like' button fourteen times, but it only counted one.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Michael. Appreciate you man!!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

[@gewglesux]

I put Turf on my Jetski.. it worked out! Great Job!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Awesome G!!!

[@kentbarbour7552]

Hey I wanted to thank you for posting all of the videos you do. I just finished mods to a Tracker Grizzly. No major decking, but I did rely heavily on your videos for wiring, switches, and Hydro Turf. I had zero experience but was able to produce something that will be comfortable to fish out of.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Awe man that's awesome. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@gargolalane9792]

Grat job installing and great tips 👍🏼 looks like it was done in the factory. Really appreciate this video and you went straight to the point of the video and not like the 30 videos I’ve try to watch talking about the weather and a lot of other crap I don’t care about and still do a crapy job installing. Keep up the great work man I had to subscribe

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks man. Appreciate the feedback and the Sub. Welcome to the Bass Brothers family.

[@jaydenton5512]

Yours is the best and most thorough video I've seen on how to do this,

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

👍🏾Thanks.

That Hydro Turf is BOMB!!! I like that. You did a great job on the turf... Looking forward for the reveal.

[@richardallain6277]

Wow…. I mean, Wow…. The turf came out awesome. Thanks for sharing your tips. I hope I can have as much patience as you when/if I ever take on such a project. I can’t wait for the reveal!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Richard. I'm not that patient lol.

[@ezmac622]

Nice video! I like the way you strategize and explain why you're doing things. You gave me some good ideas, thanks!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Awesome 👍🏾🤙🏾

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Absolutely great video, your attention to detail is second to none my friend! I'm interested in putting some type of hydro turf on my 16' X 50'. The guy that I purchased it from had someone do spray in bed liner. Think that it would adhere okay?

[@tedondrish9204]

Looking awesome, I love using hydroturf, but I’ll say I really didn’t think that color was gonna look that good.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Always great to hear from you Ted. I agree. I was a little skeptical about red camo but it turned out awesome. Looks even better in person too.

[@briancottom4808]

Hey Bass Brothers I'm a little late getting to this video but your have the best DIY information and examples of every thing do do on your builds. Fantastic channel and watch all the time. Big question for you, do you do boat builds for other people? Thanks for your time Brian from NC.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks and Yes I do. Message me on Instagram or FB to discuss

[@Mike_Power]

Excellent video!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks 👍🏾🤙🏾

[@ssgyates]

That us a good looking boat. great work.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks.

[@cliffwillmeng6504]

Nice work and thanks for the video! Now if we can just get that back ordered Hydro Turf!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I know man. Hang in there. It was a struggle to get it in unfortunately

[@keithbrock6410]

That looks great man, newer sub here, I’ve been binge watching your stuff trying to get ready to take mine on soon. Thanks for all the detail you put in!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks man. Welcome to the channel. More to come!!!

[@SluSharkND]

Great job, Sir! Very informative. I'm a new sub, and I'm now going through your playlists. Keep up the great work!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Awesome. Welcome to the channel. Enjoy the series

[@thebowtiefisherman5718]

Thank you again for such great content.... I'm stuck on which pattern to select; would you happen to have a link to some other completed turf builds you can share?

[@niceguydmm]

Looks great. How durable is it and can you remove it if needed without leaving glue behind.

[@GuthrieBoys]

Great video. Have you found that the adhesive holds well since the install? My boat has a gritty textured paint, do you think I would need to sand that down? Thanks.

[@FranksDIY]

I couldn't find the eva foam . Where did you get it

[@jmaverick]

My man! Looks awesome and you were VERY informative as you went along…. BUT… how did you manage to get your wife out there to help? Haha.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Lol. She's a keeper 🤙🏾🤙🏾😎😎

[@rocko112camaro]

Love your work, especially on your boat. But the colors (Hydro turf) on this boat looks weird. Like bad bed sheets weird 😕🤔🤐

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Trust me when I say Hydro Turf looks best in person. For some reason it can look a little crazy on film.

[@rocko112camaro]

@@BassBrothersFishingDMV Still think you do some awesome & detailed tutorials & builds. 👍👍👍

[@cajunnathan4586]

You forgot to list who you bought the Hydro-Truff from

[@aukevinj]

Where’d you get those hatch lids?

[@brockvenner773]

Where did you get the hydro turf??

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I got it through TBNation.

[@corycausey9021]

What kind paint did u us

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I used paint from West Marine

[@NastyNate-fn6od]

Where did you get your red camo Eva foam ?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

www.tbnation.net. they have it all on their site and you cam save 5% using our discount code BBF5 at checkout. Good luck man. Really liked the pics you messaged me. Looks sweet. 👍🏾

[@NastyNate-fn6od]
