Fabricating Stringers for our False Deck - Emerald Isle: Ep.92 Fishing Boat Refit

- Hey folks! Today, we start up work on our false deck. We build fiberglass stringers for the supports and stanchions for the risers to elevate them off the deck. The false deck helps with water shedding and also makes for a much more comfortable standing experience.
We want to say a big thank you to our Patrons and all others who have sent us gifts or have purchased our seafood. Also to all you viewers who have watched, liked, subscribed, and commented on our videos. You all make us so happy and proud to share our way of life with you.
In this series, you'll find us doing many different things to refit the boat. From framing and fiberglassing to fabrication and welding.
With all that said, please be sure to subscribe so you don't miss the next episode of the series! Share the journey with friends and family. If you enjoyed the video drop a comment and hit the like button! We look forward to interacting with you all. Thank you!

The amount of work and future thought put into bring this craft back to life is outstanding. I hope you have written all your thoughts and ideas down on the things you and your boys have did in your quest to bring this boat to a better tool to work off of. Doing all this work, gigs and know how in a book could make you a few coins for people trying to repair their own boat repairs. Y'all are jam up in your work until next time stay safe and healthy bye bye.
Hey thanks a bunch for the encouraging words, Edward! That's a cool idea, I guess for posterities' sake I'm so glad that we did these videos. They've captured near all of our projects and thinking behind them. We've had a few setbacks along the way, undoing and redoing work. But overall we've been pretty pleased with the projects. Have a great Spring!
@@EISAlaska Yes sir Captain
The smarts of all of you just keep pouring out. Superb approach to achieving a level deck. Your videos are engrossing from go to whoa! Many thanks again
Thanks, Douglas!
Can't wait to see this ship ironed out and working. Seems to me it will be a great summer.
Great progress. Appreciate the explanation of the work in progress. Great work, looking forward to when she’s finished. Keep the vids coming, loving them.
Thanks so much, Romaga! We're excited too.
Awesome guys. I always look forward to your vids .thanks

Greetings from Misery Bay

Thanks, Steen!
Another great episode you guys, love watching this transpire into an awesome vessel! But more than that love watching this team work together! May the Lord bless and keep you all!!!
True American dream
I know what I am about to say may sound corny. But, you guys are my favorite CZcams channel. No put on or role playing for the camera. I feel like I could be there helping you and not be intimidated. Can’t wait for the maiden voyage. Everything you do to the EI just makes her look better and better. Thank you for taking me along. By the way I love the flooring system.
Haha, thanks a bunch Phil. We really appreciate your comments. We're so happy with the progress on EI, as with most projects the finer details seem to take the longest. But we're getting there!
That's cuzs "you don't see family working together like that" that's what I think lol great people love them
She’s coming together real nice that false floor looks amazing stay safe my friends
Boys, you have done it again. Nice work. It's coming together nicely. Well done, the videos are very informative and truly down to earth. It will be great to see her on the water doing what she is supposed to be doing, fishing and crabbing, and putting food on the table for you and the family. Keep the videos coming .thanks from the North East Coast UK 🇬🇧 john
Don’t forget when you put the decking products you will have water flow underneath it and you want the water to flow out by itself. Self bailing. Good luck.
Yep, the scuppers may need enlarged, we'll determine that a bit later.
Hurry hurry opening coming quickly, don’t let perfection hold up production !
Always good to see a plan come together . Blessings
Great job gyes love see you all working as a family it is good to see
Great work guys, it's all about the layout isn't it. I did notice that this video is sort of out of sequence. Last video I saw on bullworks the false floor seemed done. Anyway keep up the great work and videos.😊
You are correct! The start of the decking did happen quite some time ago. We didn't want to scrap the footage so its more of a backlog than current events. Thanks, Rob!
Love it....i touched 1900 board feet 3 times today, in manufacturing cedar cylinder buildings, like saunas, sleeping quarters, and yurts! All cedar...i would find fiberglass more stinky haha 🍻❤️🍻
Wow.. good
its awesome seeing the goings on of the refurbishment , i was wondering if you plastered the deck with those anti slip stickons that ya put in the bathtub would work LMAO.
I know this is a little while ago but i'm so glad you posted it. So interesting to see how you do things... I'm fairly convinced at this point.There's nothing you can't do!!❤ So much to be proud of there.
Thanks, Debbie! Definitely more of a "backlog" video, but thought it had some good context.
@@EISAlaska It was great, thanks!
Wow the transformation is going well , I love your family, and that you are , all true craftsman. There's a saying, that I always tell people, Commercial Fisherman Help us Live better. Love you guys. Trapper Steve....
Thank you, Steve!
You are so welcome, I f you every make it to Portland Oregon I would love to meet you all in person. Steve.
Amazing how much knowledge you know wow
Hope all these holes in the deck don't spoil the infrastructure - leaks, water ingress, weakening the deck surface 🙂, nice haircut Len!
A valid concern, Zero! We do plan to re-do the deck in foam eventually. At that time we'll be sure to incorporate the stringers without penetrations. The deck had some water ingress in the past already. If you go back to when we re-did the coamings I think we captured some of the damage. But the beams are solid 6x4 yellow cedar, the only issue was the plywood, the deck has many years of good service left.
Just wunderin if when you bought the Emerald Isle if you realized at the time how much effort and time you would be putting into her before you would have her fishing? Or has it turned into a bigger project than expected? Won’t miss a video…love em.
Definitely a bit bigger scope than we anticipated. If we hadn't had the Fish Tale to go fishing with I think we likely would have said "good enough" on a few things. It's been great getting the EI up to snuff, she'll be a great boat. Once she's fishing, we can then give the FT some TLC.
Question: Not counting your endless hours working on the boat // how much will the cost be to bring this boat up to speed ? // it looks like you will invest more than the actual price of the boat // just curious how the relationship between price of the boat compared to the renovation looks like // would be great if you could provide a percentage // all the BEST for you
I don't know for sure Kail, but its been quite a sum. Maybe once the project is finished up we can tally it and share. Thanks for your support!
I'm constantly, both, saddened and amazed by the amount of commenters who assume you don't know what you need/want on your boat, OR don't know what you are doing.
Thanks for your support Lance! We have an amazing group of followers and we are thankful for that. We have to remind ourselves that lots of people have no idea what goes on in the fishing industry and this is new to them. That is one reason we started this channel!
With the false floor, how do clean the deck underneath to make sure fish slime/guts aren't building up? Aren't you at risk of having a stinking mess after a long season of fishing?
Nah, we'll still rinse the deck regularly. I guess a big part is that you need a hose with decent flow, which we'll have. If you use a deck bucket to rinse it could be an issue though. If something does happen to get trapped beneath we have 2 access hatch areas where the tankage compartment and lazarette hatches are, which we could pull up the boards and hose from.
Did your electric scissors give up on the fiberglass cutting?
Nah, the blades were tired out though, we grabbed some fresh ones. That fabric is tough on the cutting edge.
would would the purpose be for the raised hatches?
Mr.T where your gold chains!!!! I pity the fools
Mat Y'all need to show a update on what's been done so far on the boat because Y'all jumping around with your video's plz
Sure, Mr. Town. This vid was more of a backlog of sorts, laying foundation and giving info on our plans. It's a lot farther along than what's shown.
I really enjoy y'all's videos but I am not into all the talking I mean I understand explaining but wow I think explaining it over several times but in different ways is just to much.i have really lost so much interest.but when y'all get back to fishing I will watch again.thank you for the videos appreciate y'all's time
No worries, Scott. Sometimes we do overexplain, thanks for the feedback.
