What a sweet job! I have a 1958 "Canada" Brand 12 footer that I am planning on restoring and I was looking for ideas but you took it to a whole other level! Thanks for the inspiration!
OUT-FREAKIN-STANDING!!! Damn good job on restoring that boat.
Thank you very much for posting this aluminum boat restore will give me a lot of information to go forward with my next project
That little boat looks awesome.
I just finished restoring a 12 foot 1970 Sea King. A lot of work but because of how well it was built time was well spent. Nice job.
just got a 1966 sea king just like yours. I wish to do a similar restoration thanks for the video great job.
Boat looks great, Congrats on your rebuild, Job well done.
im a antique boat collector and am currently doing one of these gonna give it a red stripe and make the interior origional which is not very hard and am sticking a matching 5 horse motor on it with matching colors and numbers :)
Thank you! That looks amazing! About to get a 64 12 footer sea king and i would love to have mine look as nice
I am inheriting one of these that I used as a kid. Thanks for posting this video. It will be a nice reference for when I start sprucing it up.
I like the higher transom on this boat vs the other one with the 15hp motor.
Dude!! Great vid I have a seaking we just got and totally gonna restore it This is the first vid I saw on it and I'm inspired !
Very nice job. I love the attention to detail. I'm getting ready to start my 14' Aluminum boat project. Looks like fun.
Awesome job man! Looks amazing! I just bought one of these sea-king's and you totally inspired me to get started with my restoration. I'm going to go with a black stripe instead of that nice blue you have.
Great restoration job. Boat looks new.!
That is beyond nice. I love the simple elegance of it. I think I'm going to go a similar route with my '57 Ark. Traveler.
Very nice job! Great insight on somethings to customize my 12 foot v-hull I just aquired.
Nice restoration job.Great music as well!
Nice video, I took some of what you did and halfway restored mine by some of your techniques.
Very nice job, I love these boat restore videos, thank you.
I pressure washed it, then cleaned with the detergent.
I used a gel like paint stripper to remove the loose paint and old build up. Then pressure washed again. NO SANDING
I then polished the boat with aluminum polish.
Hi there, I cleaned it with my pressure washer. I also had a little bit of paint sprayed on the bottom of the boat. I used some kind of paint stripping gel and a wire brush to remove the old paint and then I cleaned it all again with the pressure washer. No I did not sand it.
That came out nice👍I have a 59 almost as nice as yours with a 15hp mariner
Outstanding job. Vintage is cool
I just got one of these, me and my wifre are going to restore it together.
Thanks! Just google: Attwood Anchor Lift and Lock System. and you will find it.
Awesome work......man o man she looked purdy! I just purchased a 12' Sears v hull vintage....no numbers on it so no idea how old but u have given me some good ideas. That boat sure got small quick when it was in the water. Again.....2 thumbs up....great work!
sweet boat.
Js have fun trying to find parts for the motor
Came out very nice
Excellent job.
You did a fantastic job on this little boat. I have one that is like it. You have made me start thinking about following your lead. Also a very nice job on the video.
Boat looks awesome! I am redoing one myself. I'd like to show you pictures and maybe get ideas. I have noticed this boat isn't very sturdy any way to fix that? Will more weight make it more sturdy in water?
I recently bought a sea-king of nearly exactly the same model. Its great to see what my boat could look like with a little TLC!
1) Can that 6 horse get the boat to plane?
2) How is the sealant on the rivets holding up?(the seems on mine leak a little).
really nice restoration - two thumbs up. One comment on the fire extinguisher being at the bottom of your got to kit. It would be better to mount in a location that you can get to it in a hurry. Always nice to never have to use it, but always best to be close at hand when needed.
Great video!
Nice job. Do yourself a favor and consider replacing the water pump impeller. They only last so long and a bad one is the kiss of death for a motor. Keep it coming. :)
6 hp motor in that year is air cooled - no water pump at all ! I own a 1974 7.5 hp engine that looks exactly like that one. It runs like a champ still - after all these years.
You should think about adding a knife and a lighter/matches to your emergency kit just in case you get stranded some place overnight, it will give you the ability to build a simple shelter and make a fire even if your personal knife gets washed away.
Great job. Nice fishing boat.
nice work
This boat looks amazing, you did a fantastic job. I actually just bought a similar set-up this morning, and now after seeing this I'm thinking I might want to start a summer project before trying to get on the water. I was wondering how long the restoration took you? Sorry if it was already addressed, but I didn't see the question asked.
Love it!
cool have fun!
I’m guessing you used top water marine paint for the blue stripe? How did you make it look shiny and flawless? Gel coat? Boat looks sick !
amazing results.. well done my friend..
I don't hear any commentary. Did you remove the sound? Am I missing something? Thanks. Beautiful boat BTW. Just wanted to hear about it.
Its a black vinyl rubber mat from the local hardware store.
Great Job like the rear wheels would make for easy bank launch instead of ramp..!!
But totally great job. What did u use fo
Aweseom boat! Dude, the anchor thing! My wal mart didnt have one, whats the brand/model/etc if you got it handy? Thanks
Beautiful job.
Any foam in there ?
Thanks! Good luck!
okay thanks! And which textured paint did you use?
To take the paint of. Before applying the new one ?
Nice job but you need to get rid of the pressure treated wood, even if it is covered and not in contact with the aluminum directly. The chemicals in the wood react to the aluminum. Also only use stainless or aluminum or plastic hardware, if you used any galvanized steel anywhere, remove it.
Great job! done well mate 😁
You are probably viewing it on a phone? On a normal computer it shows up fine. I think it shows up on a small screen on phones because this recording was done with an iphone and the pixel dimension are weird on a vertical iphone recording....
Lake Washington, in Seattle, WA
Nice job on the restoration project! I restored a fiberglass boat this past winter. You can check out my project. Do a search on CZcams for "1970 14ft Thundercraft Fishing Boat". My boat was not painted in the video, but it is currently painted a navy blue color. I liked that anchor set up you had also. I will search google for it. Thanks for sharing your video. Happy boating! :)
Looks like lake Washington at I-90?
Thanks!
what is the matting on the floor of the boat
I used heavy duty paint stripper. It was this gel like substance.
Was really interested in seeing the finished product. That blurring became too annoying!
I don't remember exactly. It might have been the heavy duty commercial grade rustoleom.
What did you use to polish the aluminum, and how did you do it? Boat looks awesome.
I used simple aluminum metal polish
More weight wont make it more sturdy. Add new plywood seats and adding some aluminum bars to reinforce make it sturdy enough.
I'm restoring one rn.. is it pretty stable? good for fishing
Hey Dan,
I know this is an old post, but do you have any manufacture information on this 12ft Sea King? Several manufactures produce for Sea King. I’m trying to help someone identify a similar boat. Do you have a title, or spec plate, or any stamped numbers on the boat?
Heavy Duty paint stripper. Gel like subtance
Muito bom, gostei, EU tenho um 1980 estou reformando ele e to colocado volante também .
After the song finishes the audio completely cuts out. Can you reload the video with audio
Awesome job man what type of texture paint and blue do you used for Itoh and where did you get the sealant at I know is to many questions but I want to do mine the same way thanks man !
You're Welcome
Nice!!! What’s the weight limit on persons?
Wow
how deep is the boat?
The 6 horse cannot get it on a plane. A 10 horse probably could.
The sealer on the rivets is holding up very well.
Great video...where the location ?
Do you think this would fit in a truck bed
How stable is she compared to a canoe?
My stearn brackets on each corner are broken. Any idea on where I can purchase parts? Thanks
Nice job! What's the1st song, I know it, just can't name it, and now it's STUCK IN MY FREAKING HEAD!!! lol
mrslagle1 The Old Rugged Cross
What is the stability like on that?
Iam thinking picking up 1960s hewes 12ft .are they tippy boat boats look very wide
Yes
What paint did you use in the inside of the boat
Wow so it wont plane out 2 up?
Would you have preferred a 14" ?
what kind of paint and clearcoat did you use for the blue stripe?
After about 1 minute and 45 seconds there is absolutely no sound. Would love to be able to hear what you are saying.
I wish I could have heard the commentary...
Can't find that anchor system anywhere...if possible can you tell me what brand that is
what kind of paint did u use and how did u put it on?
do you by chance remember where you to the carpet thats the perfect color
How did you strip all the paint?
What type of paint did you use ?
Where'd you find the wheels for the back?
Ur missing the pirate flag dude
no audio
