Great decision shrinking the console! Doing that will really increase the interior space. Looks really nice!

Yea took the comments into consideration and decided to go with what everyone was saying and what a good decision lol

Great Job ... and what a great idea to downsize the console. I can't believe so many people are missing out on your channel. Very interesting stuff.

Hi my brother. I am presently repairing a 17 ft mako. The stringers are rotting and there are dry spots in the Woven roving on the floor. I know I have to repair those, but the side of the boat songs a bit hollow. The side are originally done with woven roving too. I am wondering if the hollow song in the sides need to be strengthen as well? Please let me know your thoughts.

Great videos just caught up with the whole build. This is something I might do one day thanks to videos like these. Do you know how much you’ve spent on this project so far?

[@dylanbefishing]

that exactly how i started lol thanks! Im finishing it up hopefully in the next 3-4 months and ill make a video breaking down the costs... depending how far you take the rebuild it can range from 5k -10k in material
