[@jaredscroggins9410]

Would love to know the before and after weight of the boat.

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Added about 150 pounds

@@TRICKEDTINSnext series you do get a before and after weight. Would be cool to know exact numbers.

[@sgib199]

Wow, 75 second bumper.

[@marklaramie7393]

Damn man, you're killing me with the builds, if I can find a welder worthy of doing the install I'll be ordering some hatches, I need to have him check out some of your videos to see if he can handle it

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks Mark. Lmk if i can help.

[@marklaramie7393]

@@TRICKEDTINS if this guy pans out and if I feel his work is up to par, for sure I'll get back to you, after watching you work and seeing the finished product, I have a hard time believing anybody around here can compare

[@MichaelCraig-bi3wj]

You seem to never get tired of building boats and it shows in your work. Keep them coming man, great entertainment.

[@TRICKEDTINS]

I enjoy it! Sometimes, it's a long journey, but the end product always makes it worth it!

[@chrishladilek6328]

I'm hoping to order some lids from you soon. I'm starting my 16' mirrocraft build.

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Lmk man. Ill hook you up

[@c.shoefish]

Looking great man. What's the thought of having the livewell so far forward? Wont that hurt weight distribution? I know my little 16' was very sensitive to weight distribution when i was building it. Keep up the good work

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Im thinking it will help when he's on plane. I went back and forth about location but i think this is the optimal location.

[@c.shoefish]

@@TRICKEDTINS usually you want most of the weight in the back 1/3 of the boat, but if he's putting a big motor on there like you said in the video, it'll probably work out just fine. I personally think moving it back to where the storage is (basically swapping them) would have been better, to keep the weight more in the center...either way, I think it will still work fine...keep it up. I might be hitting you up next year for some hatchets to replace mine. Get back to work.

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Ive been doing this a long time and I think the livewell placement is spot on. We will find out shortly!

[@christinerogers5331]

Awesome, Matt, this 1652 is going to be a very unique boat! The front deck layout is off the chart, I can't wait to see the metal work completed to just get a sneak peek at what the completed build will look like! Keep up the great work, be safe and take care!

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thank you. The next episode is really going to give the full layout

[@ijohnnn]

Nice to have access to a shop with a break

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Forsure. It takes money to make money. The machines are the best investment we have

[@ijohnnn]

As a sheet metal worker,I've used all of those machines

[@TRICKEDTINS]

@ijohnnn hell yeah. I grew up with them so its just another tool. Our stuff is old but it gets the job done!

[@thomasrobey9851]

I’m speechless!

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks brotha!

[@Harden_Fishing]

Bro tell me this is yours!!???

[@ryanstarzenski3072]

Hell yea!!! Can’t wait to see the rest of this build!

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks brotha!

[@brandywineangler]

Okay now you have me really interested since you have already done some great projects. If this is the best yet that is going to be something.

[@TRICKEDTINS]

Thanks brotha. Stsy tuned
