[@SuperJ24]

Here's my two cents... I'm emotionally invested in this project. That is, I'm glad to find someone out there doing what I'd like to do, if I was dumb...I mean brave...enough to do it myself. In return for your questionable financial decisions that I don't have to call my own, I will watch every second of every video you make in regards to this project. I'll watch from beginning to end, even the sponsored segments, and do my absolute best to show my appreciation for your work in this manner. Keep it up! Keep screwing up on my (our) behalf, and post when you can.

I agree with Jeffery Scott, Love your videos & from the amount of likes I'd say alot of viewers do also. Glad you shared a big part of your life, none of us are saints and have been there & done that.

[@warrenthomas1253]

You were right the first time, if you were dumb. The only bravery comes on launch day, that's if launch day ever happens. This is definitely not a project for everyone. You better understand that a boat is going to flex in the water because the pressures of the water and weather. And a lot of times having a little knowledge can get you into a shit load of trouble.

[@jodiebaars9905]

At this point I'm committed to watching this project in it's entirety. I love boats and have always wanted a houseboat. So let's do this!!

[@AlanCleggYouDoAV]

I'm also a KZbinr. I can tell you that people like seeing things that they struggle to do themselves.

[@dave011679]

I'm really happy to see that you're continuing with this project and I'm excited to follow your journey. I'm also really glad that you're as honest with your viewers as you are. As someone who has worked in the boating industry and has owned boats most of my life, I'm always trying to warn people about taking on huge projects like this. People always want to find that "fixer-upper" boat for really cheap but they rarely realize the amount of work and money project boats require. Especially since most people aren't doing all the work themselves. Thanks for sharing all your experiences, good and bad.

[@jesseayers7933]

Your not joking when a person realizes the scope of a rebuild . I’m in the middle of rebuilding my pontoon boat. And yes , it can get away from you . Thankfully I’m watching a ton of KZbin videos to help guide me. Done with the deck , now to install side rails then furniture. The rewiring of the console is my dreaded feat . Lol

[@dustinclick9496]

AYO we with you till the end. I’m pretty sure I speak for everyone by saying we would watch daily videos of whatever you post lol. I like the progress report episodes it makes it more real. That’s the reason we all love you anyway you always seem so down to earth. Every video is a banger to me bro keeps me laughing the whole time and we can all use a little happiness in these days and times. Appreciate you man thanks for the good times.

[@fishrman29]

I did something similar years ago. I bought an old 1969 16 foot Cobia boat, thinking I was gonna slap a motor on it and get a trailer. I wound up having to remove the top deck, replace the floor, keel, stringers and transom. Then bought a used outboard not knowing the pistons were seized. I rebuilt everything and the boat ran like a champ. Thats why I am here watching you. Good luck with the project!

[@larrypatt4293]

Tarp it until you can get the windows reinstalled, I like what you’re doing with the ity bity. Restoration is hard and you have a real hard restoration ahead of you. If you restore it properly then you will reap the benefits. I’ve done some restoration projects myself, just don’t give up. Top to bottom on the boat and it should be under tarps . No more rain

[@scottanthony4714]

Agree Larry gotta get it covered before work begins? I’d also drop something flat on the floor to stand on ? Clean the site ? 🛥🛥👍👍🚤🙈🙈

[@theonecalledstein]

Cheap carports from Harbor Freight work well for that.

Awesome

[@Ehandkfishing]

I have said it before, the energy you put off when Davis is around is awesome! Keep pressing dude, the boats gonna be sick!

[@gsh341]

Update when you can. That's all we expect. Until the windows are done, you're looking at plastic tarps unless you can find someplace you can move it inside which is what I recommend. If it's inside you have a place to keep tools and the temperature. which will be important when it comes to doing fiberglass work. One thing I would very highly recommend is sealing all of your new wood framing, especially the framing around the windows, with a penetrating epoxy to prevent rot. Simply mix it, brush it on and let it cure. It will penetrate the wood fibers and form a waterproof barrier that is far tougher than paint or varnish. It isn't cheap, but unless you want to be doing this all again in a few years, it's worth it.

[@aye_danyoo]

WE BELEIVE IN YOU BRO!!! YOU WILL GET THIS BOAT UP AND RUNNING AND LOOKING LIKE A YAHT!!!!!

[@amyjordan3596]

I have a 40 ft house boat and love it. I had side wall rot and had to invest in repairs. You got a great deal! Love the unique design. As far as power, i have a little 70hp outboard on mine. Definately not a raceboat but its enough. You could mount an outboard, use the rear area for your gas tank, batterys and storage. Dont underestimate how much storage you need. Plan ahead for lines, tools, lifejackets and gear so your living space Doesnt get cluttered.

[@bryandonahue2820]

I really like this series. I agree with what many have said already. reinforce that transom and repower it with a 200 or something. that will be more economical than trying to rebuild and put that thing in. Even a 150 would be lighter and simplify the install. The other thing is sprayfoam. Closed-cell spray foam will tighten that thing up. even the rotten boards will get sealed up from a good foam. Keep up the good work I have always wanted to do this. I didn't even know who you were until I stumbled on this series.

[@gsh341]

I agree that foam does a good job of making a boat more solid, but it's best to replace all the wood and seal it with a penetrating epoxy before using any foam. That will ensure that the boat stays solid.

[@analysedean]

Even a 90 outboard would push that at reasonable speed, and i fully agree, its easier to install, easier to maintain, and on an already short boat the old engine compartment would make great extra storage and a couple live wells.

[@mattcaylor5111]

The boat rehab is the content that drew me to your channel. I'd like to see the details of the build, even the little stuff. I also understand creating these videos take a lot of work. I'm here and will enjoy whatever you think is best for you as far as creating content and frequency.

[@superdougman1984]

I've never been more interested in a house boat in my life haha. I don't care when and what your videos consist of on this project, I mainly come here for your commentary on your own videos haha. I can't wait to see what journey this takes. Good luck man!!!!

[@edstenson7764]

You can reseal with a temporary silicone caulk just to get it enclosed, then cover the boat with plastic sheathing /tarps while you work on the interior. It’s a big project. Break it down into little steps. Use the down time to maybe do fiberglass research or looking at outboards etc. you’re doing fine so far. Make videos when you want to.

[@bobjob3632]

He could use normal silicone, then silicone remover.

All your friends and all of your subscribers are with you!

[@jonryan5339]

I feel your pain guy. Several years ago, I bought a 1975 Thomson wood haul with a 30 horsepower. Once I got it home and pushed into the shop, I begin taking pics and categorizing everything. Two weeks later I begun the doting task of striping it down to begin refurbishing the wood frame and ribs. Eventually it took me exactly 7 months to complete. However, three months later well on our way to the lake a drunk driver ran a red light and ended up broad siding the boat and completely devastated it. It was a total loss and thousands of dollars down the drain. Good Luck!!!

[@PhillipRhodes]

I gotta say, I'm excited AF to see how this turns out. I have a feeling the payoff when this beast is ready, is going to be EPIC.

[@ImToooBruTal]

Post everything ya got on the houseboat, you make it entertaining so I'll watch anything you post!

[@FireTurtle75.]

You have bigger balls than I do. It takes some massive clackers to tackle a project this intense. I started trying to turn an old Glastron Alpha sailboat into a micro skiff & pretty much gave up on it after gutting the hull. I realized that the the amount of work it would take to modify & repair it, I could almost build a micro skiff from scratch just as easy. At this point, I'm completely glued to your channel watching for updates on the houseboat project & it makes me want to not give up on mine. The progress that you've made just in gutting this thing is impressive! Keep it up & I'm looking forward to more videos on it.

Keep at it ! It'll be worth it all when itty bitty is on the float. A few years ago I bought a boat in upstate NY for fifty dollars. Worked on it for four months. Took it as far as Miami. Adventure of a lifetime! . All of your effort is going to pay you back! Don't give up! Take your projects in small bights. Focus on one thing at a time.

But he got it done and it was amazing and the family got years of pleasure from it. Keep up the hard work! It will be worth it in the end.

[@therockbiter8140]

When those windows go back in you need to use urethane glue. Not silicone or caulk those both get weak and dry out over time. Urethane glue is what use to hold in windshields and a whole cars together now. We use black mamba brand at work to hold undermount sinks to stone countertops, it's stronger and seals better than using anchor bolts and silicone.

If possible beef up that motor also you might want to go water skiing some day.

Wynne windows is down in bama and makes great boat windows. I'm actually going to have them make a set for the boat I'm building in Alaska. You and Davey should make an Alaska trip and come fishing on my home built creation.
