Gigmaster, This is one of your best non-detecting videos ever. You really told the story of the repair well. My compliments. Bill

[@phillipbarnhouse496]

It’s always good to have good friends like Buddy to help you out when you got a job to do , good job guys !!!

[@susansmith6680]

You are not afraid to tackle anything and with an assist from Buddy you did a super job. Adventures are getting closer. 🚤🌊🌞

[@OhioSergeant962]

Love watching your channel. Learning a lot. Thanks for the videos. Happy New Year!

[@DIGOLOGIST]

Wow man ! I know exactly what you were going through. I replaced 90% of the Bayliner deck! Its always good to have a buddy! Lol. Great job you guys did! Spring will be here before you know it!😄

[@shaunwebb6406]

Super repair job! Fun to watch the process too!

[@TheBronDancing]

Fantastic job, well done. I’m impressed.

[@Gigmaster]

Thank you very much!

[@smokinjoes9383]

Awesome jon boat build! Thanks for sharing from start to finish.

[@captainstevecappy8747]

The absolute best thing to use toseal the edges of the deck is a product called "marine tex". Ir comes in colors but you need white. Its 2 part epoxy made for boat decks and fibetglass repair. It dries hard as a rock and is sandable and paintable. Great stuff. Repairs

[@josephpecoul6532]

Fine job Gigmaster you and Buddy make a great team.

[@johnandbuddy7730]

Grea job. Very clean job. I do fiberglass work my self i repair boats. Very educational for does who don’t know this kinds of repairs. Boys great work. Blessing.

[@RobertSilva-lc3yf]

Your the man , great job Buddy and Steve .

[@danyardinvt402]

Coming good Steve, I can’t wait to see you out on the water with it!

[@Mgm_Designs]

I have to do this to my Bayliner 1600 cause the floor is rotten and its time to redo it. You went in detail and did this job right! Thank so much!

[@Gigmaster]

Glad it helped

[@digginwithsqueak]

It's looking really nice!

[@mrnavy2]

Wow, Great Job. Well Done BZ.

[@harlanmorrisson5147]

Great job guy's !

[@sbuzz5889]

great idea reuse saved a ton of material

[@rockhunter6260]

Nice repair guys👍🏻

[@ancellsadventures]

Looks good gig!

[@roymccorkle8943]

Great job stevie

[@tonyjenkins2554]

Great info. I found a soft place the other day in the engine compartment of my new-to-me 1989 Bayliner 2450.

[@markcarson1844]

Great repair Steve, looking good man.

[@daviddeleon2240]

Do you happen to have a video when the bottom fiberglass is also damaged. The previous owner took off a seat stand and it rotted out the wood but also the bottom fiberglass too. Great video by the way.

[@captainkrunch6372]

What kind of blade did you use to cut fiberglass.

[@dbcooper692]

Ever hear of a Jigmaster 500 fishing reel??? I have three of them and I got my first one in 1967!!!

[@Chuck88vert]

Lot of work but looks great.

[@MermaidTreasureHunter]

I wonder if they used wood squares so that the deck would have some flexibility to it? That was a job!

[@adam56usa]

The squares are so the water doesn’t wick. Theoretically speaking. They do that with sailboat decks.

[@derekperkins8158]

good job..

[@EdPatnode]

What kind of epoxy did you use?

[@mainanalifsyakir5652]

Success friends

[@Hitech82]

Why do boat builders use the absolute cheapest plywood you can find. Then tell you how great the boats are built. Charging top dollar. No oversight?

[@byronbrewington4153]

What did you use to seal the top piece of Deck? (What did you use to fill in the crack)

[@Gigmaster]

The fiberglass that was there. I cleaned it up

[@durangodave]

Great video thanks so much.. I have to replace the entire floor of the boat i just purchased. Do you remember what thickness of fiberglass matt you used for that project?

[@Gigmaster]

Bought at Home Depot the thick mat

[@Bakanelli]

May the god be with you. I’m in the same boat

[@durangodave]

@@Bakanelli I am 100% not going to put any kind of wood back in my floor. This is a do it once job and never again.. Remember that even the best marine plywood you can buy will rot over time (even if wrapped in fiberglass). In my research i have found that a product called coosa board is top of the line best to use, its not wood its a composite, most of the new boats use it. However its about $200+ per sheet and for me it will take 2 sheets. The down side is that coosa board is designed to wrap with fiberglass and resin but it will most likely last forever. I am still shopping around because i dont want to mess with laying fiberglass on the whole floor.

[@Bakanelli]

@@durangodave Thanks for the info! Please let us know what other non-wood alternatives you found. I doubt I can get Coosa board in EU :(

[@christophermccorquodale3656]

Where is pt 2? Wanting to see how to repair the cutline

[@spaken2768]

Why not lay just fibreglass? Will it not be stiff enough?

[@JosephL6174]

How did u fill in the cut gap at the end? Did you make another video?

[@Gigmaster]

Fiberglass!

[@obiwanfisher537]

Man, I have that problem on my boat. But it's not a wonderfully easy straight part of the boat like you have there... For me it is on the cabin roof near the edge and where it curves on two sides, also near the hatch, although the hatch is probably OK. Fuck. It looks very easy, I could do it if it would be further away from edges and curves. But now I am not sure. Bet I can ignore it as I plan to buy a different boat anyways

[@awesomemodzzz6856]

when u get this message, did you use marine plywood or did you use treated plywood?

[@Gigmaster]

Exterior plywood. It has the water resistant glue.

[@awesomemodzzz6856]

@@Gigmaster ok thanks, im putting new plywood on my pontoon, i beleive im going to put marine plywood on mine tho..

[@BradM766]

What’s the difference between the fiberglass matting and fiberglass cloth?

[@Gigmaster]

Thickness

[@douglasthompson2740]

Why is the volume on the music blasting compared to the normal voice audio??

[@JohnBraman413]

what depth did you cut through the deck? 5/8"?

[@Gigmaster]

Just cut the existing fiberglass off removed rotten wood and replaced with same thickness and used the original fiberglass on top i cut off.

[@juniorguerrero651]

Now I know how to repair my floor on my deck boat

[@Gigmaster]

Good luck! Clean it out good and sand!

[@sowards66]

Looks like all those recycled lead weights came in handy.

[@Gigmaster]

Oh yeah!

[@adrianblake8694]

Did you use marine grade plywood or pressure treated plywood?

[@Gigmaster]

Exterior which uses water resistant glue

[@Gigmaster]

Not pressure treated

[@brandonlee5640]

You guys need to change your names to hack and whack

[@alfredocedeno5280]

Yeeee

[@PugFaceMusic]

The music should be louder

[@mangravy2000]

Where is the finished product?

[@stephenbray9816]

Still think you should make a prop wash.

[@Gigmaster]

In my thoughts!

[@kevinpattison5141]

Hey Mr. Gig master I got a question?????. . . Did you use to be the turtle man on TV.??????. You sure look and talk like him I was just wondering And I thought I would ask you that question. . . . It's really enjoy Vids. and Subscribed. . Keep up the good work I am not trying to pry into your business I just thought I would ask that question

[@Gigmaster]

Not the turtle man

[@kevinpattison5141]

You remember who I am talking about???. . He would go around in people's ponds and get rid of their turtles. . See how to show on the History Channel or A&E or 1 of those channels????. I use to watch it all the Time . . I kind of enjoyed his show . . . . He wasn't scared of nothing in that water. . . Really enjoy your Vids. I have been binge watching your channel on everything you've been doing????. . I liked that Deal or no Deal with your Daughter In Laws😁😆🤣. .
