*SPECIAL GUEST* maiden voyage!

[@rexclay2231]

welcome back I've missed your videos

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

I always love your boats. Even if they were to ever sink you would be sinking with style. The prop steering wheel was a hoot and more people need to think about adding underwater view ports like you do.

[@americanboathead5390]

Thank you for always watching and being a positive influence on me! The clear floor is fun but challenging. It was a cool element for sure though!!❤

[@RobCardIV]

most recent experiments are often the most shakey : ) it was the experimental glass bottom for sure. dont give up. figure out that glass bottom. youve gotten this far with only slightly wet pants. you c'n do it.

[@americanboathead5390]

Will do!

[@yepyepuhhuh]

Looking forward to it myself.

[@darrellshriver30]

Way Cool! I miss the Mini Boat gatherings. I have 8 Minis in storage, no place to really work on them. So looking to the future. We have lots of great places to cruise here in Crystal River, FL. Very clear water too!

[@americanboathead5390]

You have no idea how much our time together meant to me sir! Inspiring and unforgettable.. dare I say therapeutic?❤

[@chiparooo]

Very cool meetup! Thanks for sharing!

[@americanboathead5390]

Thanks for watching!

[@dennix01]

Awesome video with our hero Paul. Wish we could travel to your jamboree to be part of an Elkins. 😊 Thanks for sharing.

[@americanboathead5390]

I agree on both points!

[@timd1191]

Love it, I kind of want to build a mini boat.

[@yepyepuhhuh]

I love it!! I knew as soon as you asked. I was trying to come up wirh a name for the duo, and "The WET Bandits" seemed fitting. Glad to hear of his blessing for what was already coined. So glad to see a longer video as well. Missed ya bud.

Whatever hassle it was, that clear floor was TOTALLY worth it! Need to take it in a creek and look at wildlife.

It's Paul!! Little miss sally crew goooo

[@UBG_Marine]

I'll bring a mini boat if Im in the country

[@RobCardIV]

my second boats going to have a clear floor for sure. im ok leaving the ride with a bucket of water. in fact... one of my fondest highschool memories is singing a tiny japanese jeep "suzuki samurai 1989" ass deep in water. and when i say ass deep, i mean. .. sitting in the drivers seat, plowing through the water. we drove a good half mile or more full of fun bumpy bumpy adventures. you know what ended the run ? there was a fucking old car tire beneith the water, it stopped us dead in our tracks. the engine was half submerged. water was up to the top of the tires. but you know;..... even after 2 hours of walking around calling toe trucks.... and finding a fellow jeep mate to bravely come in and save us.... that baby started right up.. no fucking problem. and we got home before the school day was finished. parents never knew. we left school during lunch break and never went back to school. we were kind of up to our ears in adventure. idk.... surely the parents had to suspect something. i didnt bother going to a car wash. just a little mud perhaps. damn. i should tell my mom and dad about this one. i never have.

[@RodlessReel]

Hey, I know who that is. I bought two boat plans from Paul Elkins when I was designing my stitch n glue. :D

[@mr.e1944]

I wish I could get out to Washington to boat with you guys!

[@americanboathead5390]

Me too!

[@ameyring]

How long on average does the trolling motor run on the battery? Hope to do a river sometime with a mini boat.
