Welcome to another 10 minute aluminum boat build from #brigadeboats ! I had more labor hours in this boat than any before it,over 250+ hours. Hence, the thumbnail "NEVER AGAIN" , as I may never spend this much time or detail on another project! In this video I will document the transformation of an ugly and worn out Lowe 170 aluminum bass boat into a beautiful showstopping rig. Even better, I'll share the entire build out in just 10 minutes!
This project was a year and a half in the making. The owner and I began talks back in the winter of 2020. This build and footage in video took place from fall 2021 to spring 2022. I've been slowly editing this video for months, I truly hope you enjoy!
Don't forget to hop on the BRIGADE train and subscribe to the channel! You are a part of what keeps this thing in motion!
In this video I document the entire 17ft aluminum bass boat build, from start to finish. I show the entire process covering the trailer restoration, gutting boat, wiring, electronics, livewell install and test, aluminum fabrication and framing, aluminum decking and sheeting, installing aluminum anti flood hatches, eva foam decking, and much much more! Of course I'll show the tools used and share some tips and tricks along the way! At the end of the video we take a look at the finished project, which is absolutely stunning. We will also check in with the customer as he picks up his new dream machine!

The satisfaction of having done it yourself is priceless, and whoever hasn't been through a build like this, will never get it. I designed and built my own fiberglass Bass boat from an existing 16ft ski boat hull in 2014. Needs a new coat of paint, but still going strong, with a 150 HO Evinrude to help it along. But yes....never again...maybe 🤔
Craftsmanship is top notch. Really enjoyed watching this build.
Unreal! One of the nicest transformations on CZcams! You are in a caliber of your own.
this was totally impressive, your attention to detail, and the fact you set it up to be electric is impressive. Loved the decking work, the switch panel(s), and most of all the plumbing and livewell finish. Well done !
Dude... Wow!
You were so humble when you told me about your channel. Your attention to detail in both the boat and the production quality, and the "get-to-the-point-edness" to show the integral aspects of the buildout are each and all superlative compared to most.
Well, done! You're gonna hit 100k subs pretty quickly.
My grandfather said It's a good idea to prepare for ridiculously high levels of wealth and success BEFORE you actually achieve them. You can rest assured that is what we're gonna see you achieve.
Then, we're gonna talk about getting me one of these awesome freaking jon boats for the family watershed!
What's up bro! So great to meet you the other day and attain some knowledge! Thanks for checking it out my channel and I truly appreciate the kind words my man. I'll definitely be seeing you again in the near future!!! Such a great comment, it means a lot to me! Definitely down to discuss a project for you in the future.
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Bro, Perfect Timing! I spent the afternoon on the river with my other business partner, and I introduced him to your channel here. I'll be back at the store Thursday and Friday, if you get a second either day around 1:30 or 2:00 - stop by or give me a call. I've got an opportunity that has potential to REALLY help not just you, but even greater it could be a game changer for both your home life and this awesome community of subscribers you're building here. It's the exact step in the right direction you said you needed, and regardless of what evolves we're all going to get a big boost of energy just from the conversation. It's cool that it doesn't really have anything to do with me but I still get to feel excited like an 8th grader who's seen where Santa stashed the new dirtbike until Christmas morning, lol!
See you soon. Cheers, brother!
Been watching you since the early days. Fine craftsmanship !!
All I can say is wow, I’ve tried to redo a 14ft Jon boat myself. Didn’t turn out anywhere near this nice. The time and skill In the finished product is amazing, Great job my friend.
Beautiful boat !!! Great job your attention to detail is awesome
Oh man, the waterlogged injection foam! I went through the same thing when I restored a 1966 Lone Star Runabout. My son and I built our own bulkheads for bellow deck, and I think all told we sank close to 3000 rivets into it for all things done.
Lotsa work, but the end result is so satisfying.
Wow really good job! I have restored several boats over the years and the amount of time and money you end up spending is unbelievably.
Technically top notch, really very high quality, details are outstanding! Kudos
Fantastic job. I would be so proud of myself if I built this. What craftsmanship!
Exceptional craftsmanship! Your vision and attention to detail is admirable. I can only dream of having a jon boat that is anything like that.. Nice work man!
That means a lot to me, thank you for the kind words. Seriously. 🙌
Incredible transformation!!
Amazing job. Makes me want to work on my boat at 3 am.
Beautiful work!
Some people call Big Bass a Tank but your LiveWell... That's a freaken Tank!
Haha, thanks man! I guess "the tank" will hold some tanks!!
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Nice build very clean
That boat looks awesome. Really well done. I’d need a seat though. You’ve given me some ideas.
Thanks for the video.
He added some seats after pick up. It has two seat bases I installed
that is clean !!!!!!!!!! congrats really good job
Seeing the frustration is great, we've all been there and can relate lol. Nothing worth doing yourself is ever easy.
Excellent job !!!!
Excellent work! Ive got some skills and experience too and what you’ve done is very close to off the charts. The details on the wiring and access to future trouble spots is well thought out. I’m guessing this was set up for electric only waters. The hull was the right size to be comfortable and stable, keeping things off the decks and out of the way. I hope you do something else in the future. Nice to watch someone do things right.
This is incredible!
So awesome!!!
Sweet Build
That’s so sick!
Real nice build. Great job.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is ridiculously good
Damn nice job , Im tempted to do the same with mine for the flooring but damn I doubt I could make it look as good as yours. Nice work my man
Totally just heard about your CZcams channel from your mom at my local corner store. You do some pretty badass work bud. Btw your mom proud as hell of you.
AMAZING! Take a bow Mr. Jones! No pun intended-lol
IMPRESSIVE ! Lotta work there, I would never attempt to do it...I don't have the patience !
Pink Panther foam! 1970-80's! Fantastic job. I just feel 50% of that stuff is gonna peal off after 5 years :(
Dude is talented
You are a crazy man! that's amazing.
Hey, thanks!
Beautiful. Job well done.
Thank you
Great video, what drill bit did you use to drill out the rivets. Thanks
Very nice Sir
dude! thats so cool. well done.
Much appreciated man
That was a used boat heavy on the was man the stuff you find at these hrs 💪🏾
Man 10 of 10 very beatyful gret work my boat dream 😢 from romania
Absolutely stunning boat
🙌
it looks awesome. I really need to know how stable these are vs. regular bass boats.
👍 Great boat
Thanks!
Good job Bud!! 🤘👌
Thank you!!!
So sick bro. What a great edit .
I’m curious, did those r30 insulation boards absorb water laying on the floor like that for all those years ?
Unbelievable work man
Thanks cuz
Cuzzin' Anthony with another banger! 😎🔥🔥
All I make is bangers cuz 🤣
Dude this is some killer work! Ive been watching videos and really want to try and tackle a build. I'm just waiting until I build my shop. What size of boat would you recommended for a small lake cruiser? Also, what would this boat cost purchased vs personally built? Thank you for the reply. Great work again! 🔥🤙
Super impressed man awesome build 👌🏻 discover your channel through search. I’m in the process of doing the same to my boat and looking for ideas love the super hatch on the back 👍🏻
Awesome! Glad you found the channel! Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in.
Good gawd that is bad ass!!!!
Hello Anthony . I love your work and it inspired me to restore an old 1989 Pro 17 which I should have never started . I have a question after removing the factory foam why install new Styrofoam why not leave it out ? I really do enjoy your videos you are the master . thanks for your help and you and yours be safe
Awsome
Amazing! Do you install a drain on the floor of the boat?
Love It❤
Thanks cuz
For your painting process, what sandpaper grit, what was in that spray bottle you sprayed on the boat and what kind of red paint was that? Thank you and awesome video!
Incredible
Thank you👊
That is like the coolest thing ever! How many hours did it take?
Beautiful job,Rick,Delaware
thank you🙌
My dude awesome again
Thanks man 👊
Wow!
👊
My dream boat😊😊
Wow that’s incredible……Now bring home the 3 peat A-Dub!!!
👍 sharp
Thanks!
Nice job
thank you!
I used carpet in my express 17ft bass boat I built a deck extension on the front ordered some used hatches just like the ones on my boat now I got 4 dry compartment in front got 20oz carpet 4 big carpet graphics led lights throughout the boat pluss new fuse panel wiring and helix 7 used all aluminum on the deck extension
great job, a couple solar panels could provide shade and keep the battery charged indefinetly.
Bellissima bravo bel lavoro
What was the total wet weight of the whole boat once completed?
NICE YOU DID A DAMN GOOD JOB. NOW HAVE FUN AND KEEP FISHING 🚣
Wow
ALMOST as nice as the one I'm about to build. Lol. Nice boat!
I redid a boat had 450lbs of wet foam I tore out of it lol boat would fly after that made a nice one
What’s the decking material
I sure would love to know how much you have in this build. I know it wasn’t cheap. Sweet build for sure.
Do I understand correctly that the removed foam was supposed to keep the boat afloat in case of capsizing? Won't it drown now if it capsizes?
Would have drowned if it were left in as it was water soaked holding hundreds of pounds of weight. The owner specified he did not want any foam back in. This is an electric only reservoir boat, incredibly unlikely it will ever flip over. If it takes in water, it has a bilge pump.
Ok boys and girls can you say Master Craftsman sure you can... WOW
Beautiful build around how much would that cost to build? Does it go by design just really curious I kinda want one now 😂😂
What a filler did you use an aluminum?
Would it be cheaper to find an old cupboard and glass the bottom then throw a motor on it?
I guess if being cheap is your end goal
Man you’re too good. Wonder how many hours you put in on this rig.
250+
If I had the money I'd have you build me my rig!!! That's one sweet transformation!!! How many hours did it take to pimp put this ride?
🤘🤘
Such a cool build. I can't afford a boat but one day maybe I will. How much overall was the cost of this build with you doing all the labor yourself?
Man, loaded question because I built it for a customer and had labor cost. He bought some of the stuff, alrrady owned some parts, really hard to tell. I mean, the trolling motor alone is 3k. You could probably buy all the materials for 4-6k not including graphs or batteries or motors. But add in labor, candy paint, all the expensive electronics, this is a 25K boat all day.
Didn’t care of the music but the build was 🔥
Would you be able to tell me what grip tape you used at 6:38? Thanks
Black pebble GatorSkinz: tbnation.net/products/gatorskinz?ref=builtforbattle&variant=33507832987783
I wish I had half your talent! I put a bimini top on my boat, does that count?
absolutely!!👊
great build but should have primed bare metal surfaces before decking installation
Thanks. I don't see why.
there was no fucking around during that build nice work
How much did it cost all together? I'm sure it's satisfactory doing it yourself, but was the price worth it? 🤔 ik you can pick up one at bass pro base for like 8,000 (without motor just basic)
I'm not sure what hull you're referring to for 8K at bass pro. I built this for a customer. He had no problem paying my price for a one of a kind work of art. I build boats for people all over the country, and they wait over a year for me to do their boat. If the cheapest boat possible is what you want, I'm not your guy, and you don't see the value in hand crafted custom fabrication. Cheap is easy. Just drive to bass pro and finance. Get something that everyone can have and doesn't turn heads. Custom is custom. Typically more expensive and hard to find and definitely drops jaws at the boat ramp. To each their own though, im probably the wrong guy to ask about stock boats from bass pro, not my wheel house.
Nice! How much money did you spent totaly for this boat?
I think he had like 25K total including outboard and trolling motor
Only 1K likes on this? Come on people
That would be sweet with a 250 mercury
would love to have your skills
Seating?
It has two seat bases i installed. Customer provided pedestals and seats after pick up. Not necessarily fabrication needed for that part
wait, you left the transom? that much saturated foam and a soaked transom seems like the first thing to do
The transom was solid. Foam was only soaked in the bottom inch. Transom is 8 inches up. 1.5 yrs later, this boat now has a jack pmate and a 50hp outboard. Transom was fine. Otherwise, I'd have addressed it.
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats I was curious if you liked the electric, sharp build!
Um I do. But not because they are electric. Because I like the electric only reservoirs and fisheries we have here in Ga. Greatfishing, scenic, peaceful. They are manmade and for drinking water, hence regulated electric only. The red boat now has a 50hp electric outboard on it with a 28mph top speed.
Sold it yet? I could be a buyer.
I learned alot of shit from you. Thanks from 420 Fishing cough cough...hehheheee
cheesemaster - if you use it all the time will be worth it - boats are holes in the water to throw money into
i just build them for customers. It's their financial decision, not mine
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats never again? make sure you charge enough, it beats going with something brand new which costs 2x and fishing is a great way to get away from it all during this summer of towering inferno - a bad day on the boat is better than a good day at the office
thumbnail was deceiving, clickbait actually. In my mind, never again means never building another one with riveted framing (i weld now) or possibly never again putting the amount of labor i did into this one. It's all been a learning experience and I enjoy the journey. I've been doing boat builds and content creation full time for almost two years now, I've made it work.
Yeah I got a Fat watching this being created. Yeah me want one 😮
