    Nice video. I purchased a Dixie bluefin few years ago . Bad engine and a leaves were probably a foot deep . The wife thought I was crazy for bringing it home . I completely redone it and it gets more conversation than any boat on lake . I believe it’s the only walk around in our area . We love it including the wife lol.

    Please stop making great videos. I was up until 4am watching and had to leave the house at 6:30 for work. Thanks a lot. Here I am watching again. As long as you keep making videos I will never get any sleep. Cut me some slack!
    All B.S. aside, I think what you do is cool as a cucumber. Keep up the great work,

    Really nice build, I love seeing old boats brought back to life. I have three that I am working on but they are more major refits. The hardest part here, is finding a good used motor for a decent price. I think my next project I am going to go with one more like this without all the major repairs and quicker turnaround. Great video and love the lights.

  • @AndrexT
    @AndrexT Před 4 lety +9

    Nice job on that boat. Not keen on those paint flicks in the cabin. I would have painted it over. The hatch is an emergency exit and also to let heat out. A tip if you do another floor like that, put full boards at either ends and work to the centre, that is where your filler strip goes. If you reduce a few strips by a quarter inch, your filler will be the corresponding amount wider, so not as noticeable. Lift your ladder and secure with a strap when underway. Good luck with the next project.

    • @ashleighelizabeth5916

    • @alexschaffer7405

      What did you use to fill in the gashes?

    • @hidel308
      @hidel308 Před 4 lety +38

      The gashes are typically filled in with a two-part epoxy you can get it at most marine supply stores. Or you could just use JB Weld. And bottom painting under the bunks is done by jacking the boat up a few inches. You do this by lowering the tongue all the way down. Putting cement or wood blocks under the elevated rear corners of the boat covered by cushions. I use old towels. Then bring the trailer tongue back up to max, and prop up the front sort of like the back. I use a v shaped plywood rest on top of blocks to stabilize the bow. Level the trailer out and you should have a few inches to work that paint in there. Hope it helps. Aquasports rock!

    • @stolenbmxr1
      @stolenbmxr1 Před 4 lety +1

      James Shelnutt easy, jack up the front with boat stands under the back, then pull the trailer out and set the front on some blocks

    • @chase7350
      @chase7350 Před 3 lety +4

      @James Shelnutt go to 11:11 and look at that wooden contraption in the bed of his truck my bet is that he uses that under the middle of the boat and uses a jack under it to lift it up.

  • @stephenpersic9474
    @stephenpersic9474 Před 2 lety +2

    That Aquasport has all the qualities to make a beautiful boat , but what I really liked was that beast V6 outboard motor , that Yamaha is a powerful class act , one of the best made outboard motors
    She should really move with that 200 hp
    Aquasport was a direct competitor of the Boston Whaler boats
    Of course Boston Whaler made some great boats but they were more expensive
    I like the walk around cuddy cabin layout
    You get almost a big center console and a cuddy which is really nice
    Thanks for a great video

    I have that exact boat and it is currently at a local boat shop for a repower. Getting a new Suzuki 200 hp. It is a very solid boat. The old motor is an Evinrude 200 HP. It was sitting in my yard for 4 years unused and I recently decided to bring it back to life. Thanks for this video and some great ideas.

      Aquasports are a known quality hull("hull truth"). Good choice with that I agree. Was looking at a well duded out Grady White a while back for an entry level off shore ride. Not a fan of the over the top new machines on the market currently although the new motors are very nice these days for repower.

    Front hatch is if you are piloting and someone is in the cabin coming to dock , the person in the cabin can just climb out and tie off . Or if you want to drop anchor , works same way . Loved that feature on my old boat .

  • @rtmdlawncare5774
    @rtmdlawncare5774 Před 2 lety

    Have done a couple myself. Great little way to make money. So many boats sitting in people’s yards unused for years. Elbow grease and some new gear makes it like new. Better than new to me because I’ll never buy a new boat.
    This is the value and the family time is priceless.

    I've seen people in north Texas asking $4,500 for much less nice boats with only 40 - 50 hp motors. There is something about the area in which you guys live that has a lively market for good used boats, fairly cheap, and easy to renovate if you have a good work ethic, elbow grease and a basic knowledge of outboard diagnosis and repair. God on you, guy, this is one of my fave channels.

      Tom Herbert you won’t like me on my 1977 searay my wood was going bad cracking, chunks missing ,as well I sand and oiled but it was still not good so I filled in cracked and missing bits and primed and applied a black satin industrial coating . If in the future I get some time in the winter I may purchase some new wood and hand rub and oil it . But over all my faded but mechanical well taken care of Omc 351 powered searay turned out as good a results as this video and it came with a HD tandem axel trailer with surge brakes and all electronics some tools full subrella top that was badly stained and moss on it ( stitched a few seams and washed top and refinished it )1800 .oo Canadian and only used in fresh water and marina Serviced for 12 years including a full rebuild of complete out drive on the Omc out drive

    Awesome job! I am also a restorer and have found that little details make big difference in maximizing ROI. For example the drawers in the cabin could have been stained to look new and the striping on the exterior of the boat would have provided a nice touch if repainted. Little things like that make a restoration pop!

    Do you recommend doing this if you do not have much experience with engines/mechanics with a lower budget? Not sure where you find these classic boats for such a cheap price its amazing!

    That front escape hatch is in case of fire on the stern of the boat...from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠

    Didn’t even get through the commercial before I liked the video. I was not disappointed!

    It cleaned up good, the darker bottom paint helps by not having so much baby blue. What brand of paint do you use?

    How do you paint the spots underneath that are touching trailer pads. Do you just not paint those spots? Thanks man

      I imagine they painted the first lot, let it dry and then shifted the boat on the trailer and painted the spots

      I was thinking the same thing. I agree with the other comment from Tom below. That's what I would have done. Can't think of another way to do it without a lift.

      You can use the trailer to lift the rear of the boat. Lower the tongue all the way down then block up the rear. Then jack the tongue back up and it’ll lift the rear of the boat off the trailer

    It looks great, why wouldn't you repaint above the waterline and replace the vinyls?
