I know this build was a long time ago, but if you'd had kept the original side cut-offs from the hull, they will have made for a fun new catamaran/flats-skiff build, just sayin'. Love re-watching these DiY videos.
A lot of boat flipping/restoration channels out there but this is next level. Also love how informative it was. Subbed for more!
I can't even begin to tell you how motivating it is to read your comment. Thank you so much for sharing! Glad you enjoyed the first part and can't wait to share part 2 and some more fun builds! Cheers and thanks for the sub!!
Вы сделали большую работу, вы мастер!!! У вас получилась очень хорошая лодка, удачи!!!
The beauty of you seeing the potential and sharing is awesome. As a Floridian seeing buddy spend 100’s of thousands on boats with 30 year loans is insane. You can’t buy the fun and experience.
Interesting. Stumbled on your channel this afternoon. I'm nearing the end of a re-build, a 3' beam by 14' length crappie boat into a cheap, low power, efficient adventure skiff.
Cut out the 3 seats, laid in and glassed 3" of foam on the bottom a la Carolina Skiff. Aft bulkhead for a splashwell; may deck over some of the front. Have a tent that will be modified to allow sleeping aboard despite rain or bugs. Powered by a 9.9 Yam, she runs at 26 mph top speed like a giant ski. Kind of scary. :) Good cruise in the upper teens though. Eventually I'll get some video up.
Subbed, liking your content!
Yes Yes and Yes! This is so great! Sounds like my kinda skiff and adventure! I would love to see it, video/photos, anything! Definitely get some content of it and share for the world to see!. We need more "outside of the box" influence out there, inspiring people to make cool $hi% haha. On a related side note, the next build I am uploading is a similar adventure skiff, one I traveled over 1,000 miles on , sleeping on board... pretty cool story to it as well. Stay tuned, because it's right up you alley!! Cheers buddy and thank you for sharing your thoughts/build !!
Bought an old boat and thought I got over my head now I think I’m gonna finish it!
Oh hell yes!! Stoked to hear ... errr... read! Haha. Cheers on your project!!! 🤙🏼
Yeah, cool boat. I like boat resto videos. Alright, that's going to be OOOOOOHMYGOD!!!
Im hooked !!
I’m building a small skiff
People think I’m crazy🤪
But you are crazy talented 👍
Hahaha, YESSS!! That’s the spirit! Build it! And thank you, I can definitely say I’ve been called crazy more times then I can remember. 😳🤣🤣 cheers!
THE BEST CHANNNEL BOAT SKYFF !!.......
Haha, thanks my J12 brother!
Truly a Great project, I'm on an even lower budget but it's really nice to get ideas from your build and see what you were able to accomplish. Thanks Much! 👍

Love these boat builds
Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment as my stoked you like them! I’ve got a bunch coming over the next couple weeks. Stay tuned!
I Love what you’re doing. I can’t get enough of it,,, More Please.👍
If you did these builds in Australia you would have business until the end of time I know Florida is a huge boating area of all sort but I. Australia they love the little boats you can get in tight places for hunting fishing diving maybe you meets someone from there an go stay with them and build one of your specialties
Stay motivated my aquatic brother! P.S. I watched the whole video in it's entirety! :) Great Job! Take me diving sometime on the Panga!
Rich!!! Thanks brother!! I appreciate the positivity as always and heck yes! Let’s dive!!! 🤙🏼
@@diywaterworld Text/Call me and let's set a dive up! 🤙🏼
Deal buddy!
She's looking pretty already! But holy cow, the balls needed to saw through a hull 😂 Can't wait to see the finished product and the test run!
hahaha... I must say, it's a lot easier to cut into a stripped down old boat instead of new! Cheers buddy!
You've got great energy and great content! You've got yourself another sub! Keep it up!!
Thank you so much for the great positivity! These comments are so motivating to push and get better with this all! Stoked you enjoy the builds so far and extra stoked for upcoming builds i'm currently editing! oh, and thanks for SUBSCRIBING!!! Cheers!
This is so good! Can’t wait to see the rest of the build buddy 🤙
Hey buddy! Thank you!!! Hope all is good!!! Part 2 just posted! Cheers!
My favorite video you have done so far
2 kool
Hope to see more videos in the future man, this awesome!
Thank you so much Caleb! I’ll keep them coming!! Cheers!
My favorite new channel.
Heck yeah Natahan!!! Love to hear that and thank you so much for letting us know!!! we've got a ton of content lined up!!! Cheers!!
All Panga boats look like they were made to haul square grouper!
Hahaha, well many from Columbia are designed to do just that!
Great build. Thanks for a really informative video. A lot of guys don't mention materials they use. I have not heard of divinecell before. Good to know. I would suggest for you a good bit inexpensive 3m half face respirator. $25 will literally save your lungs/ and life.
Thanks so much for the comment and encouragement! And super thanks for the great recommendation. I actually purchased a respirator shortly after this build and use it regularly now. :) you’ll see it in upcoming episodes! Cheers and thanks again! 🙌🏼
This is what I have been looking for. Thanks.
Great work! Very clever repurposing of an otherwise ordinary hull. Did you just fill in the little V-shaped gaps at the bow, between the Nidacore and Divnincyl with a few extra layers of CSM/1708 to make everything nice and flush? Keep up the great work!
Hi Karl, thank you for the feedback and great question! Yes, that's exactly what I did. Added several layers of 1708 in a tapered fashion and then while still wet I mixed some putty (resin / aeosil combo) and used it as "bondo" to smooth it all out. I wished I would have spent some time going through the processes a little better on video. It's just really difficult to work/ get in the groove and be filming it all. :/ I'm learning though and hopefully with time the quality of the videos improves and can become a bit more technical/how to . Time will tell! Cheers!
@@diywaterworld Thanks for the reply. I subbed and can't wait for the next project. I can tell you're a fellow FL boy too! I'm waaay up in the frozen North around Tallahasse and Pensacola though. Cheers!
Thanks for the sub and positivity buddy!! And haha, you’re right on the money! Born and raised right here! Actually lived in Tallahassee for a couple years. Cheers and thanks again! Next video uploads tonight!
laser level would have helped a lot , wish yah all the best
Hi Jonathan , great recommendation. Md definitely on the list of tools to get in the future! Thanks for the comment/ insight!! 🤙🏼
Dude. I need an Xhale Spearfishing Panga.
Seriously! Let's make it happen buddy!
Love the channel. Could you do some time lapse next one?
Great input and recommendation ! You got it!!! Thank you!!! I’ll definitely do some for my next project! Cheers!
very sick, keep em comin man
Haha, thank you! Stoked you like it and thanks for commenting! I’m stepping up to one post every 4-5 days so be ready!!!! 😜🤙🏼
Do you have titles for these old boat restorations or do you register them as homemade?
Hi Phillip. Thanks for the great question. I think I’m actually going to do a video on registering these type of projects based on the amount of people out there wanting to know. Haha. :)
So This one came with a title so was easy. There’s a couple ways to do legal paperwork on boats .
But First , here is the common “homemade” way , ( not legal) which is essentially trying to register a Manufactured boat as if you built it. People get away with this in Florida because if the boat is under 16’ it does not require an FWC inspection. This way is definitely not the legal way.
Legal Option 1: if a title is not attainable / old owner is unknown or cannot be found. But you have the boats info/ hull identification number. You CAN pay the FWC to “investigate” and after $300-$600 , they will present you with the registered owner / and or legal documents to register the boat properly.
Legal option 2: if your vessel has no identifiable numbers on it ... no HIN or registration stickers , then the vessel indeed can be inspected by an FWC officer and you can apply for a new state issued HIN ( hull identification number). This is not costly, and actually the inspection is free. Your registered “make” will be listed as “Homemade “even though it is not. That’s simply how they do it in Fl.
Hope this helps! Thanks for the comment!
Did you worry about water in the foam any? I know there is water in my projects hull but now sure if it’s really that big of a deal? I just want to get it sealed up and painted and on the water.
You have skills and a good imagination. What is the brand on that grinding disc? Thanks!
Thank you Brian, much appreciated! The brand is ZEC Grinding Disc. They make them in multiple grits and diameters. I typically use the 24 or 36 grit disc. They are hard to find in local shops (here in Stuart, Fl) but I know Fiberglass Florida Inc sells them. They are not listed on their website but the Stuart Location has them and they can likely ship! Cheers!
Absolutely rad
Amazing video Cant was for the next
Thanks Alex!!! Part two will be this week!!! 🤙🏼Cheers!
Nice build man
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it! Part 2 uploads before the weekend! cheers!
This is great! Keep it up! 👍🏻
Thanks so much Johnny! Stoked you dig the videos, much more to come! cheers!
Awesome video. Keep it up.
Thanks so much! I definitely plan on it! Next video/ build uploads Thursday!!!
Building a casting platform, stool type ...what material would you recommend for the top if I wanted to do a cored fiberglass, not sure what type or thickness of divinycell to use or if something else would be better...won't see more than 200 lbs of weight and will be supported by aluminum cross brace
Get it Mastie!!!!!
Haha! Thanks for the support Ruth!!! Go MAKOS!!!! 🦈
Do you still have the sides that you cut off? Put it together with the "spine" that I forgot the actual name for lol.
What kinda grinding wheel is that you used to grind the fiberglass please? Thanks
Keep it up!
I need a console like the one in front of your garage. Did you build that?
Hi Jordan , no I didn’t, it was the factory console that came w the donor boat. In part 2 of the build you can see how I cut it up / modified if for the panga. :) Cheers!
Oh I guess that's the one you put in the boat lol. But I need one like that with a live well lol
Great work on a cool project. You should wear a mask when cutting or sanding fiberglass cloth. It can do the exact same thing to your lungs as asbestos. Cool vids, thanks.
Great advice and definitely something I implement since this build 🤙🏼. Glad you like the video and thanks so much for the comment / looking out for my lungs! Cheers!
@@diywaterworld Used to make surfboards and always wore a 3m mask with a particulate (purple cartridge) and organics filter when sanding and polishing. I have since worked in the chemical industry and have had safety training for asbestos where they also mention fiberglass, silica and other particulates that can cause similar symptoms and cancers as asbestos. Read about it. You want to see your kids grow up and it comes a lot faster than you will realize. You have a great life, and it looks like a partner that lets you have fun. I want to see more of your builds, I like the way you think out of the box and put things together. I want a panga, but I am pretty sure my wife will stop that and not let me get another boat. Sorry to preach to you, I have just seen what has happened to my friends over time.
I sincerely appreciate you looking out/taking the time to write all this. You’re 100% right... these chemicals and particulates are no joke. Currently i wear a full giddy up when working this stuff and it makes a big difference in how I feel at the end of the day.
And yes , I couldn’t agree more, pretty lucky to have support for these wild off the wall projects. Haha. Now if I could only figure a way to keep them all. Haha! Cheers and good luck in the panga quest!!
How wide is it
Awesome
Thank you Michael for letting me know you like it! Much appreciated! Cheers
Maybe a dumb question, why not trim the original sides and reuse?
Bow Now Brown Cow!
😂😂🙌🏼
Do you have a link the grinding disks?
how wide is it?
Whaoh 🤯
Haha. Thank you!! 🤙🏼
Would like to know the width of the botom in meters
Since you cutting on fiberglass- shouldn’t you at least wear a mask to keep from inhaling glass dust?
fuck yes!
