Fixing My Boat Build Mistakes and Rigging For Catfishing

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

I thinking how difficult those rivets seem to be - and then you said they were stainless - that makes sense!

[@SendItJonBoats]

I was riding the struggle bus trying to get those rivets in, then I realized they were stainless, duh me!!!! Only took 2 months for my finger to heal.

[@raddlesoutdoors570]

Cant wait to see all the other videos you are coming out with!!! Hope to learn some stuff!!

[@SendItJonBoats]

Thank you, Look forward to pumping out some more videos soon and sharing some of the things I learned.

[@FL.AirBoater]

Good to see you back brother!!!

[@SendItJonBoats]

Glad to be back, and thanks for watching.

[@lovetogun3611]

Definitely like the cooler seat mod. Definitely need to upgrade my battery boat balast anchor sinker too

[@SendItJonBoats]

The cooler seat has been one of my favorites so far. Super comfy and I like having the option of using for a cooler, livewell, or dry storage if needed.

[@The_Lost_Alaskan78]

We need more “Send It”!!!

[@coltensawyer6761]

Glad to see some content on the ole boat! That build is the perfect cat rig. How has that predator held up without billet rods ? I wanna use a performance 670 governor bracket to get my stock mud motor up in the 4300 rpm range but I’m not sure if valves will float 🤔. Your opinion ?

[@SendItJonBoats]

So far it's holding up good. Been running it around 4500rpms pretty constantly. I did the heavier valve springs when I ported the heads so I have not had any valve float issues. I plan on doing the performance 670 cam and rods at some point in the future to see what kind of increase in performance I can get. But so far it has been a really good engine.

Hey scooter, how many sheets of stencils did you use on your paint job? How much did you pay for them? Do you have any links for the shop you got them from? How much paint in total did you end up using? Thanks bro!

[@SendItJonBoats]

700ish bucks, I didnt even count how many sheets but I will never ever ever do it again. Total waste of time and money. I scratched the hell out of it within the first 2 trips out on the water. I used 1 gallon of paint and almost 1 gallon of clear.

[@gabeofalltrades0770]

Was that the hwy 83 bridge around the 20 minute mark?

[@SendItJonBoats]

No, I was on the Yellow River on that particular trip. I do go down to the 83 bridge on the Ocmulgee sometimes. Good fishing down there.

[@gabeofalltrades0770]

@@SendItJonBoats ha cool, I live like 3 miles from the 83 bridge so usually put in there or in Juliette depending on what I’m doing. Maybe I’ll run into you some day.

[@gabeofalltrades0770]

@@SendItJonBoats where is the yellow river at? I’ve been looking for some new water to explore

[@azlongtales]

That electrical tape bandage 😂 this medic approves. I can never work on #sonoranmudcat without hurting myself.

[@SendItJonBoats]

Ha ha... bro, my finger was jacked up for months after that. Luckily I filmed that earlier this year.

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day awesome video and my strong hand got me 😂😂😂😂

[@SendItJonBoats]

LoL. Hey Murph, glad you liked the strong hand... even though it was a painful had for a few mo the after I cracked my nail in half

[@Murphyslawfarm]

@SendItJonBoats I know the pain I almost lost my hand a year ago. So I know how painful nails can be

[@SendItJonBoats]

It was not a fun experience, but it finally healed a few months later.

[@greenpighunter6930]

Excellent brother. Boat looks good. Care with all that bleeding, it screw up you B.A.C..

[@SendItJonBoats]

LMAO... yeah dont want to bleed out all the good stuff. Thanks for watching bud!

[@The_Lost_Alaskan78]

Ha ha, you thought it was going to be easy. That was the first fuck up!

[@SendItJonBoats]

Bwwahhaa... when it comes to boat builds it never is easy.

[@SkellyWaggs]

why is nobody talking about the ants all over his cooler lol

[@SendItJonBoats]

I dunno, but I left that in there specifically to see if anyone was paying attention.

[@tommccormick3890]

Blood and tears! LOL. Not just me.

[@SendItJonBoats]

This boat has been responsible for more injuries than any boat before. I'm wearing a lot of scars from this boat lol.

[@simonsilvagno4900]

You are more of a man than me. I would just get a 25$ air rivet gun from harbor freight

[@SendItJonBoats]

Man I'm glad you brought that up. I have been meaning to get one of those and I keep forgetting about it. Thanks for reminding me.

[@yourmomsdildo3938]

Flex seal is even cheaper.

[@gabeofalltrades0770]

I made the trolling motor mistake😂

[@SendItJonBoats]

Yeah and I felt like a total dumb dumb the first time I spun the trolling motor around and it ripped the plug out. Im glad I got it fixed but dang it pissed me off.

[@longtailboat]

Your boat is made of aluminum, right?

[@SendItJonBoats]

Yes it is. 1979 Lowe 1648 jon boat.

[@dougaskew5056]

Thanks man I’m building 1432 took hints from you making a Flathead boat looking at mud skipper twister xl comments?

[@SendItJonBoats]

I havent used a twister yet but I am going too at some point, I see a lot of mixed reviews but my buddies over at AZ Longtails love the twister.

[@nathanbillingsley42]

There I was thinking, look at him doing pop rivets like a man, then boom back to a girl. Ill give you 1/2 a man point. But good video 😂

[@SendItJonBoats]

Dude, I had to edit out the tears and 27 minutes of screaming.... it hurted my mangina! LOL
