- Hi, everyone! Today we move on to planking the aft deck. In the last video, we mounted all of our stringers and identified a problem with the work we did on our bulwarks. Now we'll address that issue and dive into fixing it.

Any update on shipping to Canada?
One thing I'm not seeing is scuppers . Might give you some problems especially in the winter.
You have once again proven your motto - every problem has a solution. Thank you again for the informative video.
Awe Mom, you must be so proud of your clever men!!!
Well done Gents you're another step closer!
The work you do today is going to pay big rewards in the future. Can’t wait to see you fishing out of it.
Repairs bring much more life to the boat specialy like u guys been doing here on ur new boat
You guys have a lot of patience and very skillful. Nice to watch these videos. I learn a little Everytime. I'm a lifelong commercial fisherman myself it's nice to see true fisherman,which to me are guys/ gals that can remedy most of not all of their problems as well as catch fish. Keep up the good work. I hope you have a profitable summer.
Thanks for watching fuzzytuna! We certainly are not the best at what we do, but we make it work!

She’s gonna be awesome with this team on it! Love you guys and look forward to these updates 😊
That deck looks amazing and that rail came in real nice you’ve done so much on her one redo on one thing is not bad well done guys stay safe my friends
Great job on the "adjustment " ❤
When we (Marine Welding 1973-78) built anything out of aluminum we used WD-40 for cut lubrication. We also used cheap to expensive saw blades. We saved all and reset the kerf. The expensive ones seemed to last a bit longer for staying sharp.
Your rachet chain come-along proper name is a coffin hoist.😊
Yep, was going to suggest a bit of WD-40. Same experience too with the special non-ferrous blades. They last way longer.
Candle wax is good too. I will try WD40..
wish they had this product when I had my troller you guys are knocking it outa the park here cheer's
Great job on the new deck!
Would love to see a fishing video soon
I cut thousands of extrusions with a chop saw and a aluminum blade in my day. There is a difference in the tooth shape over a wood blade. The key is WD-40 on the blade about every 3 cuts depending on thickness. Cuts clean and can be sharpened. And the welders didn't complain about the WD.
As a fellow island dweller I fully understand. I always prep my welds with lacquer thinner and WD40 wipes off very easily. Probably also why it isn't good for much else! I shop the internet for my blades. Haven't been off the island in 16 years.
Hey y'all are back I see. As before another jam up see fix and repair. Good job guys stay safe and take care.
I sure am sorry you are having to do so much work to get it exactly like you want it. But, she will look quite good when you finish. You are getting closer every day to her maiden voyage. Please give us an update on the kickstarter campaign. Thanks to you all and tight lines.
Great video Thanks
Looks great guys. Tedious work, with huge rewards.
Was thinking why not put pvc edging around the bottom edge of the railing, to cover the edge blemishing on the 2x6?
I always love jobs you do . Because you show that everything can been done by anyone , using diffrent tools , taking different aproach and throught measuring trial and error everyone reach to end result .
I have one question to ask . Maybe i missed an episode , but did you paint the floor under the deck with that white paint ? Also if you did or didnt , wouldnt be better to paint those metal standoffs of the deck to protect them more and prolonged their life ? I know they are stainless to some degree but you know better that sea is rotting everything .Thank you !
I have been using a regular carpenter's carbide blade for forty years or better on aluminum. They last a long time especially if you give them a squirt of WD40 (about the only thing other than cleaning it is good for.) as you cut now and again. Keeps that gum from building up. Actually diesel oil is just as good but not as convenient as the spray can. Metal cutting blades generally have (way down in the fine fine print) a thickness rating for steel and they are not as all purpose as they like to portray. When you use the right blade for the right thickness they will last much longer. When I first started cutting aluminum carbide was not all that available so we used regular saw blades and they actually did surprisingly well. Not as good as carbide of course. Again if you use the right number of teeth for the thickness you are working with they will last much longer.
We used to get the Dewalt carbide blades here for $10 bucks or so. They stopped carrying those and the current selection is poor or really expensive! Tough thing about living on an island is we can't just run over to the next town and shop at another store. I try to avoid using lubricant as it does affect welds and needs to be cleaned up prior to weld prep or it just gets into the metal and contaminates the weld. Soap does work well though and we have been using it throught this project.
It's nice solid construction and looks sharp. You've probably said already but where will the freezer unit install?
I wax my blade (metal cutting) and go slow. Seems to help, but it still picks up a little.
Good
I have struggled to understand the reason for building the deck up like this raised height and with slatted boards and a gap that will let debris fall below compared to the Fish Tale where you have a solid floor beneath your soles that can be easily washed down and cleaned. No doubt I am sure you have thought this through and have a method to this, I am just struggling to understand the process and why this was considered??? My first thought is you needed a sturdy new floor and you wanted something that let the water pass through, but I will let you explain, please.
How well will you be able to clean under the floor when finished and will there be a need to clean in the process of catching and preparing the catch onboard?
With the shower and more kitchen space onboard will you have to store fresh water, and store and pump out black and gray water upon return to port regularly or is the release of these ok for smaller vessels on the ocean? And before people get grossed out or outraged at the question or answer if you knew what gets pumped into our oceans by our governments you would be appalled, besides fish poop and pee in the ocean.
Will you be equipping the EI with LED light fixtures for more efficiency and better lighting?
Will the EI also be set up for the same fishing use as the FT?
Thank for taking the time to answer, love you all. Stay safe!

The false deck looks beautiful, but I am wondering, how are you going to fasten the reel for longlining Halibut in the future?
Great question Karl. We will mount a permanent bracket that straddles the tank compartment hatch. Here we can gain access to the underside of the deck and make a very strong connection by through bolting to the deck beams. The removable false deck can still be slid out allowing us access to the compartment with the reel in place. The permanent bracket will have blind nut welded to underside to receive reel bolts. It sounds more complicated then it is. I will explain in a video soon if it doesn't make much sense!
@@EISAlaska Makes perfect sense now! I knew you guys had a plan for the mounting but wasn't sure how you would do it. I do understand how but am looking forward to seeing it on another video. Thanks, your faithful follower, Capt. Karl
Great job guys, love watching the perfection. I want to order fish so badly but I think I will have to wait until President Trump gets back ❤
Cheap blades ? In Australia a cheap one is $80.00 dollars, have you tried for easier cutting apply to the blade some wax, tallow or even soap. Cheer,s.
Looking really good guys.
