  • Bought this cheap fishing boat from copart auction with hopes of bringing it back to life! The restoration wasn’t easy but the end result was so worth it and now I can go fishing!!

      I was looking in the comment section and in the item description or you know little box underneath the video for any links for parts you might be used on the boat but I was curious about the steering wheel could you link it or tell me where you got it from

    I had the exact same boat but mines was a single console. I blew the engine and parked at my mothers home for 6 years. When she passed we sold the house and brought the boat back to my place. While trying to determine was going to put another engine on it or not, it was stolen from my house. It was in a little better shape than yours. You did a very nice job on the restoration.

    Hats off to you sir. WTG … and it’s too bad the industry doesn’t make affordable 15/17’ bassboats like they made in the 80’s for todays anglers. I’m old and seeing today what a 21’ loaded up boat runs ($120,000+) is tough for young anglers today. Unreal … just make sure your projects don’t require new stringers or transoms. Also boat may be cheap but the propulsion system is another subject if needs replaced. We’re awaiting another vid.

    Not sure where you would go with the old Nitro. You did a remarkable job with common tools many of us have in our garages or shops. Excellent job!!! As to how much, I am very interested. You did do some upgrades that were outside of a restoration. But the fishing world finds some of that necessary.

  • @charlesronk2989
    @charlesronk2989 Před 3 měsíci +1

    That is an awesome job.
    I would treat the inside of the trailer frame if I were you.
    I posted on your other video that I got mine in 1996. What I didn't mention is that it was used and is actually a 1992 model year. This past year on the trailer, I had to cut some bad spots out and weld in new pieces. The trailer looks alright on the outside but is rusting from the inside out. I plan to do some stop rust inside the frame. Then treat it with fluid film.
    If you are like me and only have 500 acre lakes in your area. I agree it is the perfect size. I can be anywhere on my local lake and be home and unhooked in the garage in less than 30 minutes. The smaller size makes them easy to load and unload.
