Great job! You’re a jack of all trades. That’s awesome! The boat is really starting to take shape. Looking forward to the next video 👍🏻
Thanks I really appreciate that. I never minded learning new things. Problem is, I normally learn just enough to get me into trouble.
Working on the next one right now.

Man ...that looks awesome! Can't wait to see it on the water. Your doing a great job.
Thanks I really appreciate that. I'm looking for it to be on the water also. Hopefully it will not be a turd and if so it's going to be a cool looking turd.

@@BoondockingCajunstyle lol.....Too funny! Well if it's turd it well be the kewliest looking turd on the bayou. Always enjoy ya'lls videos. 😄
Wish i found your channel long before now!! Love what your doing💯👊 Much love from the coast of Maine 🤙
Glad you found us. Thank you. We are trying our best to learn and do our best.
Thank you commenting and watching is very much appreciated
Man! that things really coming together nicely! Wish I had one of those laths... with that, you can make alot of stuff that cost alot of money to buy right out. If you had a Milling machine... hell, you could make literally anything. I been lookin for both. Keep up the videos, Thumbs up as always!
The blocks that hold the rudder bushing have to be milled. Those are so perfect I have to freeze the bushing and heat up the plate where they go, just to get them into place. With this lathe it takes a little while because it doesn't like anything over 10 thousands maybe if I had better tools. But all in all it works great for what I need.

Watching you apply the decals and welding...seems like you rely on your eye a lot and yet you end up with precision. Maybe you're an artist as well as all the other things you are.
Sometimes I'm accurate but I still come back and double check Sometimes.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting
The boat looks awesome. Love the new lathe you sure not scared to learn. Great work pops keep on grinding 👍✌️
Thank you. That lathe is a blast, it's a cheap one, so I will have to address a few things.
When you don't have deep pockets you have to learn new things.

I like the progress and attention to the design pop.im sure capt Dee is good supervisor on the project also haha. I'm kinda curious why you didn't build a 16 boat with a sbc motor? Anyway I enjoy watching you build your mini airboat and all the details. Have a great week and keep the videos coming.
Thank you, I'm trying to consider everything. Mini is something I've been wanting to build. After building the first one, I come up with the brain storm of building a twin Mini.
These little boats are a blast to drive and are very good on fuel.
Also went 10' because the aluminum comes in 20' sheets. I figured to not waste and have 2 boats pressed at the same time
