- Welcome back, folks! Today, we started on some of our front deck boards. We took the time to go the extra mile, routering the holes and edges to reduce any hang-ups on the deck. We also got the aft hatch cover decked over.

What a wonderful blessed family.
Good jobs guys 👍From Malta
I am so glad to see the whole family doing everything together and I will say pops has got a very good way of explaining everything that y'all do.and it is pretty impressive how much all of you can jump in and help each other getting it done.lol pretty good work on the composite deck boards because I use this material almost every day now on decks and it is so much better than wood and even if it is off just a little doesn't matter because you can always make it work . thank you for the video appreciate y'all's time to even video everything for us to enjoy
Great job, all of you..
Greetings from Misery Bay
Looks fantastic guys, very tasty work love your videos, and great job mum keeping a eye on the boys 😀
I wish you the best, always look forward to seeing your videos.
Be safe 💖
Mom should be proud !! One awesome family !!
She is very proud, and tells us everyday! We are so proud of her, the work she does in editing, and of course taking care of us!
This deck project is just amazing to watch unfold. When you transported the boat up from southern Alaska, it was difficult to comprehensively understand how it would be re-configured. I'm betting that you didn't foresee the full scope either.
I also appreciate the detailed explanation of the steps taken to provide an adequate work setting, to protect harbor environment, and ensure the asethics of the finished project (including precautions to prevent "uglifying" your work).
As soon as I see an episode released I immediately watch it. I've have learned to be patient as to what the future of the Emerald Isle holds ...
Good jobs
EIS: Team of specialist reworking of the Emerald Isle fishing vessel of Alaska you go guys looking really good a first class team and family beautiful rebuild of both boats. I will see y'all on the next voyage of work, fishing or just friendship. Stay safe and healthy bye for now Edward from Dalton, Georgia.
Great video
Lo veo fantástico lo que le están haciendo al barco me alegro mucho 😂
Bad ass deck, I built patios with that stuff it's good stuff
decking looks great should work great.
Tighten up we got to go wet a hook😊
very nice guys. glad to see there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Thanks, Tenny!
Everything is looking real good and coming together like the pros you are ❤❤❤stay safe my friends❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks, John! So excited getting this decking down. It'll be a pretty tight deck once we're finished.
Love your channel. I am from the Elsipogtog First Nations in NB Canada. I too fish snow crab and lobsters.
Very cool! Thanks for joining us.
Pretty, pretty neat & nifty. Yes indeedy, Rooty tooty. Nice deck all you need now is the Bar-be-que and the smoker.
Oh yes! That is absolutely in the plan, a little R&R on the back deck.
It's looking good. When you sped the video up I thought, wouldn't it be nice if we could speed up these repetitive tasks IRL
Looking great guys.
Can i suggest you get some plugs 3d printed for the holes. Would be easy to do with a cheapish printer.
Extend the fuel caps up above the deck level. So you don’t have to pull decking every time you get fuel.
Well thank you t I did not even think about putting anti-seizing on any of the boats I never even thought about it So now I'm going to start putting it on there as of Monday when I go back and do this other deck didn't even cross my mind I appreciate that information I'm 55 and I have not even thought about it lol .but hey with you and a few others I watch I still learn things maybe not learn every time but give pointers I believe I should say but thank you for the suggestion I will do it.abd if I have to go back and replace any boards it will make it where I don't have to cut the bolts off got to keep all the rust off from in between the thread thanks for the idea lol I had a point for it all these days lol
I appreciate the extra effort demonstrating the details, and YES it is very useful information. Most of the guys I associate with own boats and decking is a big part of owning a boat. In the past 20 years , new materials provide options.
When plastic deck boards became available, we talked about using them but I hadn’t seen any done. I bought a load of cedar to deck a boat but the quality was very poor/expensive and required lots of preparation (the cedar was turned into doors).
So I am going to put plastic decking, this video is perfect timing and I get to have a look at your work.(thanks).
Looks like your using stainless fasteners, with nylock nuts and washer. What grade stainless ? And how do you get a nut to the blind holes?
I’ve considered using aluminum nuts,bolts washers and then very heavy pop rivets on the blind holes ?
I test installed some stainless Rivnuts in the stringers, and used cap bolts to hold down the boards. Works good but too many cons to be viable for entire deck. Very expensive/time consuming and error prone biggest drawback.
REALLY FINE BOAT !
Great work guys and mom 😊. The deck is looking awesome. Are you going to take it all the way to the stern? What about the access to the steerage hatch? Great video as always, a good w
Ay to take a break from yardwork to watch.😊
That's the plan! Actually, it's already mostly done, we just have a few more deck boards to attach. Our recent livestream was kind of a sneak peak, hehe.
Junior.... hi... step up time... need to hear your stick.. head nods are good but what's your part?
Good morning family! A beautiful morning here on the island. Hope the weather is great there.
Your sale is on, and i cant wait to get some stuff ordered...have the plane drop it as it passes over haha
Morning! Sunny and beautiful here too! Have a great day! P.S. Don't forget to shoot me an email!
@@EISAlaskaI will right after this video definitely. Great to hear about your weather finally looking good
When do you think castoff day or hoping it is. Will be nice to see it working.
FYI not a counter sink. That is a counter bore. Good job.
I see later you called it counter bore. There is a difference.
Yup. Certainly is. My brain says one thing and my mouth another sometimes. LOL!
@@EISAlaska At my age I call it old timers.
Looking good. Can't wait to see you out working the boat. By the way, you may have already mentioned this, but what happens to Fish Tales once Emerald Isle is up and running?
Are all those blue 5 gallon buckets hydraulic fluid? You get the fuel and hydraulic fluid tanks finished up? Everything looks great!
Good eye Rusty. Yes, the port side tanks are finished up. Just need to get the hydro tank locked in good before filling it. Happy to say they turned out great, only a few tiny pinholes in the hydro tank when we leak tested it. The fuel tank is filled and capacity came to 150 gallons withl 4" of headroom! So very pleased about that. We put the stb tank on hold for now as we have plenty of fuel capacity atm.
So will the small oval hatch be lifted to the new deck height to prevent trips and spills?
It is covered by a removable insert with the same deck material. You can hardly tell it is there!
Are you guys going to be hiring crew to operate both vessels?
Not at the moment, it'll just be us.
When water seeps between the false deck, how will ir drain?
It flows to the side and out the scuppers as it normally would. The crown of the deck guides water outboard. This is also a reason for the false deck, its a more flat plane which provides comfort while standing. Compare that to standing on a slight incline that the crown of the deck adds.
Thank you for the explanation.
How do you fix the last board to the deck? Because then there is no space on the left or right to reach underneath with your hand and fix the counter screw.
Aha! An astute observer. A short stainless plate tapped for the bolts, or with nuts welded to the backside will be positioned at each stringer and held in place with counter screw. Then last plank can go down and bolts will thread into plate.
I love you guys and have watched yall for years and I might be speaking to so but it looks like all the money 💰 yall have put into her yall would have painted the deck underneath not so it looks good because it's going to be cover up but to make it last longer 😊lol
Hi Phil. It is already protected by fiberglass. The paint and gelcoat where we patched holes or eliminated other through fitting are adequate to protect the surface. You can't really see the origional deck when looking through the spaces between the false deck boards.
So you're just using lag bolts threaded into the fiberglass stringes? I wouldn't have thought that would be enough meat to hold the lag bolts really.
No, they are through bolted. Washer and nyloc nut on backside.
@@EISAlaska Thought so when T mentioned he had bolts and nuts. What are you going to do on the ends against the bulwarks to get a nut on the bottom? I assume the other places you can pull the hatches and such to get to the outside ones.
Szerintem a takarítás nehéz lesz !
