[@larrycresse753]

I've never seen a man try so hard to make his brother happy GOD bless you T

[@philipmccumbee3624]

Your little brother did pretty good. I like watching him learn how to do things. You are a good bigger brother to him.

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks, Philip! He did great!

[@jackarmer8560]

Both of those young men are going make Great Captains on of these day either one of them could work with me on any boat they understand what work needs to be done GREAT JOB Team

[@JDSFML]

Good to see your teaching your younger brother how to do things and instruct him as he goes. So many siblings either bash each other or dont even bother these days!

[@pmmccrea]

The family that works together, stays stronger. Well done guys, All the best! God bless

[@davidwilliams9043]

Great video of two hard working brothers together.

[@billlink7116]

I love it. "Are you ready ... Now?"

[@EISAlaska]

That's the problem with taking apart weird fasteners there were so many square drives heads on here. But glad to standardize everything. Thanks Alan!

[@Celtic-jr9cn]

Eis is the best on the tubes. A great family and thanks for share the stuff that’s important aswell as the fishing. Most tubers only show the action so they look better but all the stuff with the boat is totally awesome ma guy.

[@EISAlaska]

So glad to hear it, Celtic! We enjoy showing the journey not just the finish line.

[@Celtic-jr9cn]

@@EISAlaska keep it up brother. Your channel is one of the best on here.

[@deeestrada2510]

It's so refreshing to see more exposure of T in the video! Hope he'd also do the intros and more talking to the camera in the future! So adorable!

[@EISAlaska]

Lol, yeah thanks Dee! I agree he's a lot of fun to hang out with.

[@stevebonds5157]

Famous last words: At least it didn't fall over.

[@Meidas_Lea]

Thanks Matt for teaching me how to correctly apply foil tape ...

[@EISAlaska]

No problem!

[@lukejansen2321]

My younger brother is battling brain cancer at age 40. It also makes me feel good to see you working with him, and makes me laugh when you rip him!👍

[@EISAlaska]

Lol, yeah he's my brother so I gotta hard-ass him sometimes. Best wishes for your brother as well.

[@dougmatthew9987]

Its good to see young men learn the family business..

[@rh2999]

Thanks for the show and all the pointers guys. The only thing that would have made it better would have been two Brothers doing cannonballs off the wheelhouse! You said it was hot. We were also noticing how close to getting 50k subscribers you are! Great job

[@EISAlaska]

Thank you, Ralf!

[@arnoldromppai5395]

dont think anyone would want to do and kind of jjumping into that water there

[@rh2999]

@@arnoldromppai5395 yes probably not Arnold. These guys are great I love to watch them. Where are you watching from?

[@ravennelson827]

A lot of little things add up to a long days work ...Blessings

Good job Tristan! We are all rookies at some point - just keep learnin"

[@debbiesue4287]

Ooooo..just grabbed my coffee for a break and got notification of this video! YAY :)

[@EISAlaska]

Perfect! lol.

[@koslund11]

Thanks for sharing the work on the new boat. Look forward to the first fishing trip. Thanks again. Take care of each other.

[@bobpaup4222]

Good job guys!! Weather proofing her in and cleaning up the top of the wheel house. Thank you for the video!!

[@EISAlaska]

Sure thing, Bob! Thank you for watching.

[@harryharkins5866]

Love to watch you guys working together

[@rodneystarkey8567]

Matt need to see more of the new boat I have watch all of u vendors love them😊

[@williamsnapp2605]

Nicely done Gentlemen!

[@EISAlaska]

Thank you, William!

[@garydoucette5013]

So good to see such teamwork. We all started out learning from a mentor, a big brother is the best kind! Love your videos.

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks so much, Gary!

[@frank4532]

Nice job by all Thanks for sharing 👍

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks, Frank!

[@tedsemonis7905]

For the metal tape get a small plastic jar and fill it with water to smooth it out. Big hole put tape on the bottom to catch putty, it looks better ( the little things add up and stack up)

[@EISAlaska]

Good tips Ted!

[@thirtywide]

Great family and great videos

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks so much!

[@dylantrinder1571]

Good to see those little jobs getting done in good weather. Nice work.

[@joshlickert2694]

Nice work 👏

[@stevehammond2016]

Always good to see you " doing what you do " .

[@alannba1156]

You guys did a great job👌 and thanks for the videos 👍 see you on the next one 👋

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Sweet new episode!! Lots of small stuff done and off the checklist gents! nicely done!

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks! 👍

[@samtheman4958]

Great job guys

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks, Sam!

[@iispjhanna]

What a lucky, lucky Dad! TWO assistants that are hard working, dedicated and intelligent deckhands. I'm learning along with Tristan, and I've got 50 years on him! Kudos to you Matt on showing him (and me) the ropes. What's next - sanding and painting the cabin topside? Thank You for sharing.

[@robinengland5799]

Well done! The boat is looking great!

[@garyammerman2153]

Looking good guys, maybe little jobs but all about keeping everything ship shape. The less clutter, fewer trip hazards, tighter cabin and as you say, "all's good!"

[@townbeach3603]

Tristan on the house!!!!😮

[@uncleericrocks]

Well done guys!

[@BRUM9922]

well done guys i would put a second round of tape on top of the first that way water will run over the first.

[@williammcdonald3293]

Watch out for your lungs with that stuff it will damage them, wear your mask at all times. Great job and good coaching skills with your brother. That roof could also do with a coat of paint, as a sealer. It'll keep it snug and water tight like a frogs posterior. ty for the video. sealing up that chimney now you can cook some bacon and eggs without water flowing down.

[@EISAlaska]

Absolutely agree, William! Always wear your PPE you'll be thankful later in the day and in life.

[@howardwilliams6129]

Love you guys , when you are finished she will be a functional beauty . All cleaned up and ready for the party ❤️🇨🇦

[@nicolausheutger2960]

chopped strand mat does not go with epoxy, so it stays white. It needs styrol to solve the strands of the mat an the white (binding) will disappear. Only use stitched or woven mats with epoxy

[@dredgesp]

The best way to carry tools, equipment, and supplies to and from a marine vessel is in 18 inch by 12 inch plastic shopping baskets. Buy six you will be glad you did.

[@EISAlaska]

We try to keep some buckets handy usually. Been awhile since we had to tote much back and forth.

[@ronaldbird3648]

Hi Guys getting there when will you have the boat up and fishing will it be this year or next ? all the best from the .Mull of kintyre. Scotland UK

[@EISAlaska]

Next year. We were hoping to this Fall, but we've gone a lot deeper into projects than originally planned, in preparation for next year.

[@richardmckinney4963]

I can see my father's 2% rule applies. " You have to be 2% smarter than what you are working with."

[@thomasroberts9752]

Just think guys in say 15 yrs or so you 2 will have different boats if T decides to stick with fishing

[@arnoldromppai5395]

for sealing them flanges cut out all old sealant clean well and use marine 3M 5200 fast CURE it never drys hard, i use it all the time.. it the only one to use on marine.. or the 4200

[@EISAlaska]

5200 works great. We mostly reserve its use for underwater thru-hulls. We notice above the waterline that it tends to pull away in areas if its not sandwiched tight enough, so we've started using silicone on most of our flanges. It doesn't have the holding power of 5200, but for temporary fixtures it saves us energy later on.

[@dj132442]

when will the new boat be ready to fish?

[@EISAlaska]

Next year. We were hoping to this Fall, but we've gone a lot deeper into projects than originally planned, in preparation for next year.

[@lorenmelovedoff7128]

I might buy a boat and permit and learn from my dad to purse seine and I hope the bank lets me….. also keep up the good work. My dad wants to fix his boat but we don’t have money to do soo. And I hope to get my own boat and permit….

[@EISAlaska]

As long as its a solid boat with reliable machinery you're golden. It doesn't have to look pretty to catch fish, as long as your able to operate it safely. Good luck if you go for it Loren!

[@DebdeK]

what about a new layer of fiberglass & paint? too expensive or time consuming? thanks for your DIY video!

[@EISAlaska]

Yep, we'll get around to it, mostly it was just to seal current leaks in the cabin.

[@johnmeeks9618]

I would think that if you wetted the surface before you applied the fiberglass cloth you would workout better in your application.

[@johnmeeks9618]

I don’t know if there is a market for the instrumentation and antennas you are removing, but I would think that you could have sold most of the stuff you removed today with a little cleanup effort.

[@sandtowalk]

Screwdriver bit the dust looked cheap

[@АлександрБузов-т4э]

[@barbarabeagley6650]

Have you decided on a name for the new boat?

[@EISAlaska]

Yes! We've named her Emerald Isle.

[@darrenashley126]

It's all about what way the wind is blowing and what side of your mouth your tongue is pocking out :)

[@townbeach3603]

Heat tape

[@TheBeaker59]

Have to say I am an epoxy sort of guy particularly for repairs but I guess she's a work boat EH!

[@EISAlaska]

Epoxy is strong for sure, unfortunately polyester doesn't form a chemical bond to it, so we tend to shy away from it.

[@TheBeaker59]

@@EISAlaska I get that but for repairs on old Polyester, epoxy sticks so much better and if glassing over the repair then Epoxy resin is far far better than polyester. Polyester is very average for repairs over old polyester which also won't form a chemical bond to itself if old. Only advantage of Polyester is its cheaper. I am an industrial chemist in the resin industry. Polyester is the best for new builds in straight GRP after that its epoxy all the way.

[@EISAlaska]

@@TheBeaker59 Problem with epoxy is that you can't use polyester on top of it. Gelcoat won't stick to it, which means you need to paint everything. It is expensive and the setup/ curing time is very long compared to polyester. If surfaces are prepped right, the bond for polyester is fine and will not fail or delaminate. Many vessels in the Alaska fleet have been lengthened and sponsoned using poly. Decades later they show no signs of problems.

[@alanwatkins3848]

Hi boys please go buy some tools to do these jobs haha be a lot easier

Any body jumping in it doesn't look that cold Just saying it looks like you'r working up a sweat
