It’s definitely a ton of work! You’ll become a carpenter, mechanic, electrician and more! But it’s worth it! Twin Detroit 671-ti engines 450hp and top end is about 30kts in good conditions we have a video on the engine room!

Thank you!

Thanks! We will get out soon just hit me up!

Gosh dang!!!!

All of em were pretty big todya

Probably not but maybe as the CZcams grows have some subscribers come out. Owning all boats are expensive but I do most of the work myself so that helps cut cost.

@@SaltyBoysFishing Doing most of the work yourself is understandable but coming from a tech I do know most techs will walk away from D.I.Y boats asap when you get yourself to a point where you have no clue what to do. lol.

For sure! If the jobs too big and out of my league I do leave it to a tech that knows what to do prior to opening that can of worms for that exact reason. Mostly routine maintenance like doing my oil changes every 100 hours and new impellers on pumps ect not saying I rebuild these myself 😂

Thank you !

Thanks! Stay wild!

It was a great day no doubt!

Thanks!

I use iMovie it’s an IOS software and it’s free

That will be soon!

A great day on the water no doubt!

You can do it!

@@SaltyBoysFishing I just had a daughter so I’m set back a bit 🤣 don’t think I’ll get a loan for older boat like that

@Icebreaxer you have to believe! It’s a great family boat that will help sell it to the significant other 😂

@@SaltyBoysFishing amen brother

Happens to the best of em!

So the epoxy is what truly holds the guides to the rod blank. Without the epoxy the thread would come loose eventually but yes it makes it very durable

It was sold to me by an older couple but not related to me.

Thank you!!

Yes the original purchase price is just the tip of the iceberg! Owning them requires a huge time and money commitment to keep them up and running smoothly let alone the fuel they consume!

So happy we could help! Tight lines 🎣

The season is here! We are working on making some fishing videos with this beast asap! Thanks for watching!

So it is just removing the scale on the props so it definitely should not cause any changes. With that said if you take the props off the boat it is never a bad idea to get them sent to the prop shop and have them checked as they impact performance in so many ways!

Thanks! What’s the name of the wheel you’re using? Where do you get that abrasive pad?

@SouthFloridaFishingClub I’d have to double check the name of the pad but I got it at harbor freight for like 3$ I think it’s a nylon abrasive wheel

Thank you!!

I appreciate it! What would you like to see next?

Great advice! We wanted the seems for removing the floor for maintenance and can’t tape from the bottom based as how the floors sit on that “lip” of wood so they all lay flush

Also we have large engine room fans that help draw lots of air in there so there is not dangerous fumes in there

Hmm i guess there’s no way around it with wood floors. I have an 86 44’ and I’m interested in following your progress. Just got to the “end” of self refit journey. From experience it’s VERY smart keeping them accessible.

@IClementsI176 that was the main thing with this upgrade is having easy access for maintenance

Thank you! I’m located in Virginia Beach right now!

Thanks!

Thanks! You can definitely get some good deals and work on it over time especially if you live aboard!

So the best method is to try and apply heat using a heat gun and then twisting it off. It’s just glued on there with a paste epoxy so it might come off. If that doesn’t work you can order some new cork on Mudhole.com and put that on your new rod!

Thanks!

New video every 1st and 15th!

So typically buying a premade rod is much cheaper but you lose lots of quality, customization as well as with custom rods you can really tweak to what kind of fishing you do versus a generic rod.

Thanks!

Yeah I can definitely work on putting something like this together although there are so many factors on certain things such as all boats are different on initial cost and condition but I cha definitely break down slip fees and fuel and maintenance ect! Will be a while as we have a 4 part rod building series coming out

More content on the way!!

He will be back on another episode soon!

Hey she’s part of the family 😂

Thanks!

100%

Hell yeah

Such a huge help!

What a great time!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and it could help!

Agreed!

Great advice someone told me this after they saw me put them on so I went back and did it before we launched!

@@SaltyBoysFishing much easier when its out of the water lol.

@bsg2580 agreed hammers don’t like to work under water 😂

Thanks! What else might you want to see

Honestly, anything & everything. The good, bad, exciting, boring, fishing, boating, maintenance, etc. I just like watching videos about these older/pre-owned sportfish boats. Makes me wanna go buy my own pre-owned sportfish. Also, it’s a lot more relatable than watching someone with a $5mil brand new viking with all the bells and whistles.

@The_holy_stromboli well I appreciate your comments! We will be posting every month on the 1st and 15th! Next video will be more boat renovations and then some custom rod building
