Giveaway Finale

[@ppulambe8311]

What a fantastic event in my life. I wish every subscriber could have a chance to experience what I was so lucky to enjoy. Marty, you are an incredible person. You are the same as you are in your videos. I am enjoying my new kayak. My mom really enjoyed you and Tom's company. You are both welcome to come back if you're in the area again. We'll have the rooms ready for you. Thank you again for everything you did on this build. Take care Marty and I look forward to seeing you again in future videos. Tight lines and smooth waters!

[@bfishn173]

Patrick Palombo congratulations.

[@jesse-45cal-WCM]

Patrick Palombo so happy for you Patrick. I have a lot of health problems myself and have just been able to start fishing again. Glad to see you able to get out there again with the Pelican and Marty's help. Best of wishes.

[@rad8045]

Tight lines mate.

[@MrStukid]

You have perhaps the best one of a kind craft ever built by one of the best people ever! Enjoy!!!

[@balamont1150]

Congrats Patrick!!

[@robrich1776]

Pelican should make a Zoffinger signature kayak and let Marty design it. Awesome work brother. You are a very talented skilled craftsman. I really enjoy all your videos.

[@ppulambe8311]

Robert Richardson ... they do now. It's a catch 120 something. Check out his I cast video.

[@stevagaga]

The world need more people like you Marty.

[@bonsaiman75]

Aleksandar Stevanovic Hi. We named our son Aleksander. He is named after my wife's great Grandfather. It is a very unique spelling, it's always cool to see someone with a similar spelling as him.

[@stevagaga]

Aleksandar is old greek name, with slightly different spelling in different cultures.

[@bmbaize]

The kayaking community is full of great people and big hearts. You are a shining example. All walks of life, come togather over a sport that enriches our lives. Keep sharing your gifts. Thank you for everything that you do.

[@anthonyortiz6299]

I just love how appreciative Patrick is for his new kayak from Marty and for Marty taking his time on building that kayak, putting his heart and soul into it, even though he knew he was giving it away.....what an awesome dude! Thanks Marty for everything u to for people and thank you for posting ur videos ive learned alot from you.

[@ppulambe8311]

Anthony Ortiz ... I'm still excited when I see it. I joined a kayak fishing club and have met others. I did a 9 mile paddle a month after receiving it. That was brutal...lol. I was the tug boat amongst speed boats and held everyone up. I didn't care... I had the biggest smile.

[@RideOrFish]

This is probably one of the best giveaways ive seen on youtube. IVe seen channels give away some pretty expensive or fancy stuff. But the giveaway you gave was so personalized.

[@brianmowers307]

A lot of love went into making that boat! Well done, Marty!!

[@TackleJunky81]

Marty, you're a good dude! Love this channel!

[@atlfisherman3413]

Amazing. Marty you got some blessings coming your way. I can only imagine the joy you feel doing this giveaway. Thanks for the whole journey.

[@kand4548]

Dude! You made me tear up! Awesome job on the kayak! Keep on being You!!!

[@Frangelico009er]

man don't know what to say...I take my time watching your videos and see how you just get an idea and achieve...this is wonderful on your hard work and time, to give a gift to someone else to pass it on...just fantastic Mr. Zoffinger...my applause to you and two thumbs up...you are the man...

[@Ilogrich]

marty. this is awesome man. i've been following this entire series and i've never watched a youtube video and experienced joy until now. thanks!

[@heathschwab]

man me being disabled that would be a set up I would need. man I wish I could afford one. you did good work sir. your a good man to give that away. god bless you and fish on.

[@sphutch001]

Truly inspiring Marty!! Having surgery on both knees, I know exactly how hard it is to stand up and sit down in a kayak. Great job. You got someone into a kayak that would not be able to normally. You should start selling your seat mod to those of us that are not that handy at DIY. Take some pre-orders and fund the boat restoration.

[@alexmena3871]

I'm In. willing to pay in advance if it is needed too. Hey, Marty your are awesome dude. God Bless you.

[@The_Joker107]

Marty let me tell you.. you are a wonderful soul brother you do great things and always with open arms it goes a long way it is my pleasure to get to watch your amazing relaxing videos and be a subscriber of yours I can't say enough good things about you AND I NEVER EVEN MET YOU LOL but you truly seem wonderful and genuine tight lines brother

[@altonfindley6964]

Marty. You are a good man and I wish that I have given you my idea sooner for the power wheels , drive. Good luck and God bless you

[@adventuringwiththekelleys]

That dude was so excited. How cool. Awesome of you to do that. Loving your videos.

[@ppulambe8311]

Brandon Kelley... I'm still excited! I feel like I'm the luckiest guy around.

[@jimwareham8967]

Great job and what a way to improve someone's quality of life. Your the man!

[@bfishn173]

dude just one word: phenomenal!

[@tollesbury1]

Great job....he was so happy to get that kayak...may he catch some monsters and enjoy your handy work for years to come!! Your a star Marty and he is a very lucky guy !

[@KayakFrank]

You did a great thing on that kayak giveaway project and it couldn' t have gone , to a more grateful recipient. Take care boss.

[@learitee444]

*Marty if ever there was a Nobel Prize for **_Services to Kayaking_** you would win the award every time :)*

[@rwid71663]

That was really a lot of time and effort. I am in awe of your expertise. And your generosity. I have eyeballed yaks, but I have problems with size myself.so i have been wary. I think you, and Patrick are both really good guys. This was one of the best videos i have seen. I am now a fan. I hope to see any of you guys out there someday. I know for sure i'm gonna see a lot more of these videos :) Take care.

[@Thelawncarenut]

Awesome series and the results were incredible. Congrats to Patrick too, enjoy your days out on that Bayou!!

[@derrickmcmullen]

Watched this build and I'm impressed. Not just with the craftsmanship but generosity. I'm a fan now.

[@bigshowradio_550]

What a feel good video. Patrick was such a gracious recipient of a fantastic kayak build. It was wonderful to see him so happy! Great job! Really great job!!

[@w3brown10]

Great job. Awesome video.

[@steveforsythe9264]

Marty you are a really generous and talented with kayaks and what you do. I purchased the Pelican 120 this year as it is built for bigger guys and I just love it. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@stevekuehnle8250]

That was an absolutely wonderful thing you did Marty. You came up with some great ideas and you put your heart and soul into that kayak build. Thank you for posting the videos..always enjoy them!

[@fredaw61]

God bless you for what you do. Who would have thought a kayak video would bring a tear to my eye.

[@julioczaldivar7943]

One Of the Worlds Greatest People!!! Your the man Marty.

[@Rebel1280]

Glad i was able to watch the entire journey! So great to see all the smiles, laugh's and excitement! And thank you Pelican for letting this happen! Pretty stand up company :)

[@MrJoe11young]

Best video ever. Stumbled across your channel while looking at kayak mods. My new favorite channel. Thanks for all that you do and sharing it.

[@aramzfishing6024]

I haven't seen the full video but I can already tell it'll be great. Thanks for the upload.

[@thatguyblue4811]

Man what an extreme case of kindness! This really warmed my heart. And on a side note, that paddle looks freaking awesome.

[@adamm6414]

awsome kayak , and a very happy guy! great job Marty and to pelican for donating a kayak!

[@jerryehrlichoutdoors1277]

Great video, your an awesome guy. that's why I watch. you inspired me to get my 1st kayak!

[@LarryTalbot_1313]

[@Tostito12345]

[@crazyflboy8727]

Great craftsmanship bro ! I've been following you for a long time. Love you're videos I live close to Apollo . You should have another fan meet and greet !

[@franktirado8357]

Marty you remind of one of my coworkers. Like him you both are very smart and take pride in their work. I always say your work is your signature. He is a pipe fitter and mechanical engineer. His peaceful voice was no Match to his incredible talent. Thank you so much

[@ajebiz]

Marty, You have such a great spirit. Wonderful job on the Yak and outstanding video collection from start to finish. Thank you for giving back the way you do.

[@joebleaux7039]

Great episode Marty! You are one of a kind. Thank you for the smiles you give me and my friends. Tight lines!

[@arvinpador8351]

Marty, you are an amazing person! Not only did i learn so much about rigging up a fishing kayak (which i will be be doing soon), but you have shown such a bright light for humanity. Artistic talent AND a good heart...... i hope to i can impart some of your values to my kids. Tight lines and smooth waters!

[@krazygoofadventures8031]

Marty, you rock! I thought I was "handy" until I watched you in action. Great to see you deliver the yak. On a personal note, I've fished that area and it is great!

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Marty you just really put me in tears. You're an amazing person, and I've watched all of your videos. Your ups and downs. No one deserves to be as happy as you. You've taught me, and the kayak communities so much. I am currently saving $100 a Month, for the pelican catch pwr 100. I can't wait for the day I can purchase this boat, with the Suzuki 2.5 outboard. I suffered 2 heart attacks, and still currently work 2 day's a week, at Tf green airport in Warwick Rhode Island. But am now disabled, not allowing me to work as hard as I did. There are many DIY mods, I cannot wait to explore, with your videos. You're all heart, God bless you, be safe. Thank you for all you've done. 🙏🙏

[@randomnessx3597]

Thank you Marty you have restored some faith in humanity for me.

[@Aleswagdro]

randomness f u

[@randomnessx3597]

WTF BRO well there goes my faith in humanity again jerk.

[@goriverman]

Love your channel Marty. The world needs more people like you.

[@JMD535]

Dude,...that Mid-Landing Service Table (MLS Table) is one of the best kayak mods I've seen outside the norm! There are still some good people in this world! Well done....

[@swampdonkeyt.v.3814]

Hey brother, I’m an extremely happy that I subbed you channel. I am 40 years old and just in the last few months got into kayaks. Bought one used for $100 and have gone nuts with the mods. I’m an artist like you and the sky’s the limit. I can believe I waited so long to get in one of these awesome lil boats. I’m blown away at your kindness and generosity. This giveaway was inspiring my friend. You have a huge heart and your talent is amazing! Keep up the greatness. Looking forward to your next video!

[@redladyfish4201]

Congratulations Marty in completing this beautiful and creative kayak, I'm very inspired to see this project finish to a happy end. You should be very proud of yourself! Tight lines.👍🏽

[@MrStukid]

Marty, you are a special man! Folks like you are the salt of the earth. Your creative talent and giving nature are a treasure. When Patrick said he was starting to tear up, I have to admit I was too. That there can be so much good in the world by men like you, and the true joy Patrick showed, I know that all is OK!

[@largesizejellyfish3014]

i feel so happy for the winner. and you are an awesome person. subscribed!

[@pippieskent9150]

What you did here is very special man. Good on ya!!

[@jackryandrake8490]

Great job on the kayak Marty. Your videos are the best.

[@techguyMD]

Thanks for the update Marty! Excellent job on the kayak!!

[@robcochran1558]

Hello Marty, I’d like to say that I love watching your channel. It’s not just because I love fishing but I like watching you brother. Not only are you creative and innovative but most importantly, you are HUMBLE!!!! Please don’t ever lose that trait! Most fishermen that I followed on KZbin I quit following simply because they are entirely too big headed! They brag about the amazing gear, kayaks, boats, and everything that they have! But you sir are just like me.... you make the best out of nothing! Not to mention, you build it rather than buying it so therefore I will forever respect you brother!! Great work and I’m so glad to see that man smile when you presented him that kayak! You’re an amazing dude and I hope that you keep up the great work and most importantly Marty, STAY HUMBLE! It suits you perfectly.

[@elevin1972]

I think that may be one of the most selfless, nicest things I've ever seen somebody do for another. You are a great person Marty and I know that gentleman has to be loving his newfound fishin' machine!!

[@divineavengers]

#feelsgoodman Marty excellent job with everything and thanks for taking us with you on this journey :)

[@robertgeddie2460]

[@JasonCSansom]

This is amazing Marty. It feels reassuring to know there are still people like you that exist in the world today. I am a huge fan man, keep up the good work and keep those videos coming brother!

[@mikehoffman136]

So incredibly amazing. I've been playing with homemade ideas with my second hand Sundolphin Patriot. Cant afford much on a cops salary but this has inspired me to try improving my yak for fishing. So far, this is exactly what I want.

[@LightYerPipe]

Marty if you was British you deserve a Knighthood. Congrats to Patrick, i understand how he feels i also have mobility problems and would love to be able to get into a Kayak with adaption to enjoy time on the water. This wonderful truly wonderful. Love and Respect to you Marty.

[@11bayrat]

How much would you charge if I ordered one similar to this one?I have one but it's a sit in very thin fast and tippy one!not made for fishing but long trip paddling.so how much for your time and all parts ?

[@garyduarte]

you are an amazing person with great talent it is awesome to see you do the things you do. I enjoy all you do and I'm sure they're many other who would agree.

[@56Axis]

that was wonderful, Marty!!!

[@john308small8]

That was an awesome build and even better gift Zoffinger, very very nice!

[@flashtech6492]

Beautiful Job Bud I would have loved to win that beauty..!!!!

[@CaptainMike1965]

great job Marty! Great things happen when you follow your God given talents.

[@stevendomingue]

What a wonderful way to give back.. you are an inspiration to us all! My only beef is that you didn't stop in Lafayette La, I would have fed y'all. 😁

[@blinderb1032]

What a couple of great guys.

[@aarongodeaux2321]

Marty for President and 30 Miles out for vice!!! great video as always!!!!

[@IntrepidFisherman]

Marty you are an awesome guy. Such respect and hard work. Great video.

[@jasongandar8208]

Damn was not expecting the twist in the end ty and Teresa. As soon as you said Pensacola I knew it as soon as the music started to play. I have followed you all for quite some time and love all you have shown me

[@jamessmith785]

Very cool. Sometimes I forget that there are some good people that can't do certain things due to physical limitations. So to be able to use your ingenuity to help him past those and get him on the water is really cool.

[@ronbuskirk1175]

Outstanding Marty, a job well done, my hat is off to you and Pelcan

[@natslo26]

Marty, you are cooler than an igloo! Great JOB!

[@donking1017]

I just noticed that two people gave this video a thumbs down. When someone does something nice for another person in today's world how can you negative about it. Marty what you did for Patrick is great. You opened a door for him. We need more people like you. What a great thing you did for him. Thank you for being you.

[@herb1166]

Just started following you bro you did go all out with that kayak that's so cool
