I am in the planning phase of turning my grandfathers 1963 Starcraft 14 ft. boat into a worth while tiny boat. your videos are priceless, Thank you.

[@irench]

Living in AZ for 25 now, Own a Cajun but who has time to take it to the lake. So I'm quite interested in the urban and have discovered your tiny boat deal. No water makes this old water dog mad. I've been scouring the market for a boat to be my first project. Tried doing this kind of thing a long time ago but chopped up a 16' runabout fiberglass mostly because I thought it would be easier to build what I wanted. Good boat, spent lots of time on the lakes of WI with it was never afraid to mess it up. Unlike the Cajun, which I'd never take the small boat to Powell, that's big water there. I'm surprised at how many boats are out there without titles and people think I'm going to give them money much less that they have the right to sell it. AZGF is in no way about to let someone just bring in a boat with BOS and put another tag on that hull. Then there is like one boat I was looking at up in Queen Creek that the owner had used aluminum riveted to the outside to raise the gunwale, like 6" all around.

[@jeremys636]

Slots slots and more slots! Keep it up bro!

[@justinfreeman4672]

Can't wait to see what you wind up doing with the trailer. Strip and repaint, maybe?

[@johnmattinson3513]

Nice short vid today. I was watching and thinking it, cool I found another boat build to watch. It’s almost like episode 3 season 4 out today, or whatever.

[@wayne-oo]

Well done !

[@adamfuller5416]

Your videos have guided me with my boat renovation. Lots of great ideas. Thanks.

[@stompylee]

I’m still struck on garden hoses as drain tubs. It makes sense but it never thought of it in then 2+ years watching the channel. Well done, et’s keep going

[@seandrake7534]

I’m just wondering how the expanding foam didn’t pinch it off especially since he bought the cheapest stuff he could get

[@Umakemelaff]

That boats gonna have some major value installed in it!

[@DomBogey94]

Love to see the progress!

[@lstaples007]

Coming along, can't wait to see more

[@GRENADE9820]

👍👍👍 good work

[@patriot8421]

Doing this on a 1971 Sears 16/32…. It’s a beater and posting up on Fb/AssTablet soon! 🤘🏼

[@stanleycampbell1220]

Man you have taught me a lot thanks for all the help keep the videos coming 🙏

[@hammer9856]

Looking forward to the rest of the decking framing as I will be adding a front deck to my 14' v-bottom in the future. Thanks and keep'em coming.

[@PaintballShyguy]

It was fun doing mine. I ended up having to redo one side but I lucked out and could use the same holes. Keep 'em coming 👍🏻. Also that trailer is actually pretty cool other than that butt ugly green.

[@J0mm1]

Really inspiring! Can't wait to start my own project. And this series really helps cos my boat is almost the same as this😅 it will do perfectly once it's ready👍

[@joshuakrech9886]

Literally same, my boat is almost identical to this build. Plan to start my project this June. Excited to watch the project progress too!

[@sergiom2175]

Motivated me to do something sweet like this to my 1967 StarCraft Giving me a lot of options. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

[@TinyBoatNation]

Good luck!

[@sirfishalot]

Thank you for all the great work you do and for spreading the knowledge! I'm planning on doing one of these myself and I wouldn't be anywhere near as confident that I could without all your hard work with TBN!

[@royallison6430]

I got all of my ideas from tiny boat nation. The boat runs great and is well laid out for all types of fishing .

[@sirfishalot]

@@royallison6430 what type of fishing do you do mostly? I'm taking a 1970 Lund 15.5' boat that's got an open deck and making it into a more focused walleye fishing boat rather than a pleasure cruise boat.

[@royallison6430]

I primarily fish for catfish using jugs or trotlines. I like bass fishing also. My boat is mostly set up for bass fishing. I have a 1971 Grumman 1648 with a 40 Merc tiller handle. I love my boat. It runs and handles well. Thanks to Mike and Tiny Boat nation for all the ideas.

[@robmclaughlin420]

Love watching you redo these boats.

[@BobsPetStopVideos]

Thank for your help I'm doing a complete makeover on my 1976 Smojer Craft "Lancer Edition " glad to share a pic. Bob the dog trainer Pa

[@jackdickerson2031]

I am enjoying this build. I have watched the other builds that you have done. Keep up the good work.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Sure thing!

[@aaronjt74]

I have this exact same boat, I'm going to copy so much of what you are doing, love it

[@davehaag8175]

Thanks as always

[@alexstewart4287]

Like what you do man. On my second build and I have used your channel for ideas for both my previous build and my new build. Keep it up and thanks!

[@mikencrew8885]

I have a boat just like this so I’m super excited to see the process because I’m going to probably do something very similar. 👍👍👍

[@shawnreeves9187]

Great Video, been looking to find this one on how you do the side rails

[@chadselby2133]

Been following the channel for about a year now, just installed one of your subfloor kits in my alumnacraft today, thanks for the inspiration..

[@Herewithfred]

Nice video, really interested on the out come of the boat. Will be following for more updates. Thank you for your videos.

[@shaftedoutdoors8184]

Following this build closely because I have the exact same boat.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Seems that many people do!

[@AlIsUpOutdoors]

Mike you’re looking better and a lot healthier now. I’ll get your jigs in the mail this week and pm you the tracking number.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thanks man!

[@clintmurray6149]

Very cool

[@johnroland6679]

Great work

[@craigmac1516]

Recently acquired a 16 ft sea nymph i want to atleast build a casting deck for but this is giving me way more ideas ...awesome vids bro..

[@w_dub_wilberforcejr]

Looking GOOD!!!

[@1992pv]

Great video. Very informative

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thanks!

[@wrestlemaniac202]

Look into vermont loophole to get the titles for the boat and trailer

[@mr.delta5202]

Looking for the right Jon boat to do my first build. Love the videos keep up the great work.

[@evonpersonal6388]

Awesome video

[@daltybell]

Thank you!! I'm hoping to get my v hull "upgraded" to something like this.

[@patrickcostello62]

Great video

[@icemanoutdoors7589]

Been watching your channel for well over a year now. Great content man. Been thinking about completely gutting my 92 Lund angler and rebuilding it from the ground up but don’t know where to start.

[@TinyBoatNation]

That's a good platform to have! Good luck

[@davidlowery8570]

always cool builds

[@johnludwig-ci9gn]

Nice work

[@TinyBoatNation]

Loving these videos

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

Nice !

[@mojo7411]

Very interested to see hoy you handle the bow, I have a V hull with no supports to attach angle to past the front bench seat.

[@marcaustin]

Great vids. I've been subscribed over a year. I have a 15 yr old glass boat. Got started with your channel looking for electrical wiring advice. Want to build a project like these one of these days. Hello from Muskogee Oklahoma!

[@TinyBoatNation]

Hey!

[@skidemn]

Commenting for your algorithm!

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thank you!

[@raymayo7594]

Great info

[@TinyBoatNation]

Glad it was helpful!

[@FranksDIY]

Opinions are like assholes everyone has one. You do you because viewers like myself enjoy your builds and how you have progressed over the years. Shout out from a Canadian fan. P.s. Ill be modifying my boat if it ever gets out of customs . since November what crazy time we live in . Take care be safe and keep on building boats

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thanks frank!

[@Saps_bigbaits]

Awesome

[@michaeltucker2137]

I’m part of the 18% 👍

[@MATTSLIFE.]

Love it buddy, I just bought a StarCraft 14ft v-haul that I’m gathering all supplies to do this . I’m excited but nervous. Any advice would be absolutely appreciated!

[@Collectorbrandz]

So I just got gifted a 12 foot aluminum row boat. Tiny boat build ENGAGED!! 😬

[@TinyBoatNation]

Watch the Yak Killer series

[@joserivera-ul1df]

Thanks for the tips mike big help

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thanks!

[@wmkess]

Have you ever tried to add a versatrac equivalent or another sliding track to a riveted boat? About my only complaint on my riveted Alumacraft is the lack of one for accessories. Figured someone would have come up with a way by now but I have yet to see it done.

[@TinyBoatNation]

I will definitely be open to it if I can find a usable source

[@JackieV]

So I’m going to be building my 1962 16’ Lone Star Skipper have you done a boat similar to it? I am wanting to get the floor as low as possible with all the benches out and do a storage box up both sides from front to back to bring structural stability back to the hull after removing the benches. Btw it’s going to be an open floor Catfishing boat where all the action will be on the back of the boat at the rod rack

[@benkohn555]

Awesome videos. What grade aluminium are you using? 6061 or 6063?

[@pjk91]

Are you using solid rivets on the side rails? Getting tripped up on side panels. How would install side panels on a deep v side console?

[@tdwz1652]

i think those nutted rivets were for the old boat emblems no? someone just removed the emblems it looks like and put the rivets back in

[@insomniaguy]

So I'm thinking of keeping the bench seats in (cutting out where I need) the boat and going around them, because I keep reading that taking them out is bad. I'm assuming the subfloor and framing restores the rigidity to the hull. I haven't looked through all of your videos, but have you done a build where you keep the bench seats in?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Just cut out the top of the bench seats and keep the bottom. That way there’s no damage to the hull.

[@somethinginthewater3802]

I'll trade an 01 Tacoma 4x4 trd with rear end damage that only effects the tailgate function if you trick my 15' Gregor Baja, I'm located in Indiana

[@c.shoefish]

Doing the side rails is definitely one of the most deceiving parts....it looks so weird. If it looks right...it's not🤣. When I was doing mine...I screwed up on the starboard side and had to redo a good 5' of the front because I followed the top of the gun whale and now, I have a line of extra rivets showing on the outside of my boat cause I had to redo it. Learned my lesson though, took measurements and replicated it to the port side and it worked great

[@BobsPetStopVideos]

Hi, are the side rails for support to prevent side flexing? Thanks

[@ercomarimports4946]

Very good videos. I've been watching Budget boat build I got to e p -8 Do you have e p -9 I could not find it

[@TinyBoatNation]

They’re coming

[@rethompson9620]

Was wanting to see how you connected cross member to the rail. I am doing a Lowe 16/48 and as you know the sides angle out terribly. I ran my rail as you did but the cross member does not sit flat on the rail. I don’t know if that matters but it is the only way to attach it. Actually I attached them under the rail which caused a gap at the rail so I need to detach and lay them on top. Any suggestions?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Check out the framing video for this project

[@bucks2beards194]

Does slotting the metal on the side weaken it? I’m in the process of building a deck system and am slightly worried that the metal would have a tendency to sag or bend over time. Maybe I’m over thinking it, but in my head it seems almost easy to bend a short aluminum “tab”

[@TinyBoatNation]

It’s more just a series of individual brackets. Not one solid piece anymore

[@irvinggraham6370]

I love your channel do you have any boat for someone wheelchair bound

[@TinyBoatNation]

I do not. Never had to do it. Would be interesting to take on, though.

[@tiller_gorilla7220]

Im wondering if you would widen the gunnels and how you would do it.been watching this build as it is similar to my boat. Ive thought maybe using one long sheet and clamp it on top to trace the shape of the gunnels then cut it out in a long strip and use some sought of pre shaped combing to drop down on the inside edge and weld it in 100mm increments

[@TinyBoatNation]

Maybe

[@nickmartinez5349]

👍🏻

[@abeabe9000]

What are the hoses for

[@9332D]

👍👍

[@arachnomuh]

How would you do that on fiberglass boat?

[@farmerjoebrown2189]

Doin same myself with a mod v

[@braddunn6720]

What rivets are you using on the side

[@texasplumr]

Getting an untitled boat registered is a pain in every state, isn't it? In Texas it can take quite a while. I think you're better off telling them at TPWD that you built it in your garage. It always cracks me up when sellers tell me they'll give me a bill of sale and everything will be fine. And it's just not that simple. It can be done but it isn't that damn simple. And if you think about it, that's probably why they are now selling it.

[@TinyBoatNation]

True that

[@adrianbaker-gratz7594]

I’m looking to start a build, I’m planning on getting a 14-16 foot boat. Do the tbh kits go to all v bottom boats or does it matter what type of v bottom it is.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thay are versatile to work on most boats

[@csandoval82]

Nice job. What are the tubes coming out of the sub floor for?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Gutter system

[@drakekoster2538]

What are you all typically paying for your 14' aluminum boat with tiny outboard? I'm trying to find one and not sure what the market should be.

[@TinyBoatNation]

The market is very high right now.

[@greggmeyer5836]

What is the make of your pneumatic stapler and is it a 1/2 inch crown with how long the legs?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Milwaukee

[@greggmeyer5836]

Okay Milwaukee, but 1/2 inch crown ? Or 1/4? and how long are the ideal length of legs on staples for average carpet?

[@audreymeschkuleit3466]

WHATS WITH THE GARDEN HOSE?? WHY PLEASE?? Also how do you get it to drain ? Not even rat holes down the centre. Is this you're very first ever Boat project?

[@TinyBoatNation]

You run hose so when you pour in foam, it adds as a runoff for Water if he gets in there

[@zarbaQ]

What thickness of angle did you sue on the side rail?

[@TinyBoatNation]

.067

[@dongesswin]

why are you using wire strippers? I mean use some damn vice grips. make sure they are metric ones though.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Improvise!

[@trevor8467]

are those storage bins/hatches on your website?

[@TinyBoatNation]

Yes. TBNation.net --> Aluminum build kits --> Nates Dry hatches

I have ALWAYS Loved the you tubers cry for help at the end of the videos. What math do you or You Tube use to come up with the % of subscribers vs Views. first that would be 19.8% not 18%.. common error.... I guess... But then look at the videos. you have 115k Subscribers. on average you have about 5-15k views on a video. That Math is backwards lmao. it has to be a monthly %.

No dude....no. And thank you for watching till the end.
