You can do it!

@@SaltyBoysFishing I just had a daughter so I’m set back a bit 🤣 don’t think I’ll get a loan for older boat like that

@Icebreaxer you have to believe! It’s a great family boat that will help sell it to the significant other 😂

@@SaltyBoysFishing amen brother

Happens to the best of em!

So the epoxy is what truly holds the guides to the rod blank. Without the epoxy the thread would come loose eventually but yes it makes it very durable

It was sold to me by an older couple but not related to me.

Thank you!!

Yes the original purchase price is just the tip of the iceberg! Owning them requires a huge time and money commitment to keep them up and running smoothly let alone the fuel they consume!

So happy we could help! Tight lines 🎣

The season is here! We are working on making some fishing videos with this beast asap! Thanks for watching!

So it is just removing the scale on the props so it definitely should not cause any changes. With that said if you take the props off the boat it is never a bad idea to get them sent to the prop shop and have them checked as they impact performance in so many ways!

Thanks! What’s the name of the wheel you’re using? Where do you get that abrasive pad?

@SouthFloridaFishingClub I’d have to double check the name of the pad but I got it at harbor freight for like 3$ I think it’s a nylon abrasive wheel

Thank you!!

I appreciate it! What would you like to see next?

Great advice! We wanted the seems for removing the floor for maintenance and can’t tape from the bottom based as how the floors sit on that “lip” of wood so they all lay flush

Also we have large engine room fans that help draw lots of air in there so there is not dangerous fumes in there

Hmm i guess there’s no way around it with wood floors. I have an 86 44’ and I’m interested in following your progress. Just got to the “end” of self refit journey. From experience it’s VERY smart keeping them accessible.

@IClementsI176 that was the main thing with this upgrade is having easy access for maintenance

Thank you! I’m located in Virginia Beach right now!

Thanks!

Thanks! You can definitely get some good deals and work on it over time especially if you live aboard!

So the best method is to try and apply heat using a heat gun and then twisting it off. It’s just glued on there with a paste epoxy so it might come off. If that doesn’t work you can order some new cork on Mudhole.com and put that on your new rod!

Thanks!

New video every 1st and 15th!

So typically buying a premade rod is much cheaper but you lose lots of quality, customization as well as with custom rods you can really tweak to what kind of fishing you do versus a generic rod.

Thanks!

Yeah I can definitely work on putting something like this together although there are so many factors on certain things such as all boats are different on initial cost and condition but I cha definitely break down slip fees and fuel and maintenance ect! Will be a while as we have a 4 part rod building series coming out

More content on the way!!

He will be back on another episode soon!

Hey she’s part of the family 😂

Thanks!

100%

Hell yeah

Such a huge help!

What a great time!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and it could help!

Agreed!

Great advice someone told me this after they saw me put them on so I went back and did it before we launched!

@@SaltyBoysFishing much easier when its out of the water lol.

@bsg2580 agreed hammers don’t like to work under water 😂

Thanks! What else might you want to see

Honestly, anything & everything. The good, bad, exciting, boring, fishing, boating, maintenance, etc. I just like watching videos about these older/pre-owned sportfish boats. Makes me wanna go buy my own pre-owned sportfish. Also, it’s a lot more relatable than watching someone with a $5mil brand new viking with all the bells and whistles.

@The_holy_stromboli well I appreciate your comments! We will be posting every month on the 1st and 15th! Next video will be more boat renovations and then some custom rod building

Was really thinking just a stove top like the glass electric one just don’t see the oven being used when we have an air fryer

Thanks for the advice! I’ve been using star brite teak cleaner and teak oil lately but am willing to give that a try!

It’s all cleaned up now! Definitely agree and wouldn’t want to get underway or let them run with a messy engine room

1-3/4” so 1.75 inch shafts

Guess we will see who is a guest star in the next video 🤔😎

Thanks! Good to hear from you!

My friend has a 46 with galley down layout that I also enjoy so it’s cool having two 46’s at the same marina

Thanks!

From Florida but live in Virginia Beach right now but will be back in Florida in a few years!

Couldn’t agree more

Agreed

Great idea! Maybe LED edged glass instead of mirrorV

Thanks!! Are you good with epoxy? Let’s get it done!
