She's back! Ya'll have no idea how much this moment means to me (maybe some of you do lol). But after 6 months of being dry I'm back in business and starting next week the fishing videos will be FLOWING. Thanks everyone for sticking around and helping me get through the tough times
I felt every bit of your pain.. I just recently got my boat back on the water after it sitting waiting on another motor for a good 5 months.. nice work.. glad to see you're back on the water..
You gained so much room and extra flotation when you are anchored on the reef.You also have that full gunnel height at the transom.No more worries about waves coming over the stern! So Awesome!!
No kidding was thinking the same thing! I would be so nervous every night it rained. I would be laying in bed just thinking about her filling up with rain water.
Congrats! She looks great. Looking forward to get back to fishing content. I do highly recommend you consider plumbing those deck drains overboard somehow. Let that cockpit self drain a d not into bilge. Specially since you keep the boat in the water. Any bad rain storm could be a nightmare for you if you’re bilge pump system fails or batteries die.
Please keep doing your thing I’m 56 and a former paratrooper I got screwed out of my job of 30 years due to a horrible person that used covid19 to let me go to hire younger for less, if I can give you any advice, keep on keeping on I’m a huge fan and you are a great kid and I don’t mean that in a bad way!
I have been a subscriber for ever and had to stop when it got to be just a drinking fest out on the water now you changed your format and I love it again it's fun with some cold snacks and fishing of course. It seems to be great so far and can't wait for future episodes and the fun you guys have fishing and learning a few things along the way. Keep up the good work Heiko.
Wow, happy for you. Couldn't wait for this vid I new it would be good. My first and only boat is a 24ft Proline CC with a bracket. The brand wasn't that important but I wanted a enclosed transom and a bracket. Congrats.
Heiko, this video gave us goosebumps. We couldn't be happier for you. Terrific video. Loved the unvarnished truthfulness, you share. ❤yeehaw, come on fishing videos.
Congratulations on the return of your boat. !! It must be a good feeling almost like when your first child is born !!!! Now you need to get some fish blood onboard !!!! Can't wait. For a long video on a fishing trip .. THANK you Frank from montana...
I'm glad to see her back at your dock!!! The video is great!!! You've got that smile back on your face again. I'll be checking in for future vids showing us how much fun fishing can be!!!!
What a crazy turn of events in the beginning of the video! Glad you stayed so positive 👍 Bro that boat is awesome! So happy you got everything put together. Looks great!
You have unbelievable patience when all the stuff was going wrong trying to drop your boat off to get fixed I would have not handle it as good but boat looks absolutely amazing can't wait for all the new fishing videos
Love it We were swamped & sank during a storm. I will always get a closed transom if I get a boat again. It was a Cris craft center console. Fantastic boat other than the transom
Now I understand the old expression of owning a boat is like digging a pit in your backyard and throwing your money into it. 😂😂😂 Congrats Heiko! Super excited to see you back on the ocean blues. 🙌
Alright sweet man! Crazy how fast 6 months went, I feel like I just watched that video where your transom cracked like last week lol. Now go catchem up Heiko! 🤙😎
Wow...dejavu.. Same thing happened to me 2 years ago. 1 day before my annual big pine key fishing vacation. Thank God for northern tools. I was able to rebuild the bottom of the trailer the night before.
Bro! You've got the worst luck and the best luck of anyone I know! Congrats on getting your big boat back and the john boat looks like a great setup! Now we're ready for more high seas adventures!
Congratulations on both boats . Would sure like to see the John Boat under way with the new motor as well . Best of Luck ! Time for some FUN in the SUN ☀️ ..
So pumped for you man! Boat turned out great! Crazy how such a small addition of space on a boat can make it feel so much bigger! Now get back to fishing!!!
Heiko, Conrats dude, that boat is looking sweet as can be!! The redesigned transom makes it look like a whole new boat with a ton more interior deck space. For only $10K, I think that was an excellent deal plus you now have piece of mind that you shouldn't have any problems with that transom or engine mounts for the next 20 years or more. I can't wait for the new fishing videos.
It feels like you're missing an arm or a leg or part of you cerebral cortex when our boat's are in the shop. People that don't live here in FLA may not understand. Once you have a boat that you can fish with year round it just becomes your life basically. That's probably why more than half the people around here (SWF) have or had boats and or work on boats as charter captains or mates or work at marinas etc. Life would suck without boats down here! Needless to say congrats on getting your 'Daughter" back and congrats on the 14' Grand-child. Your willingness to document everything in life as it happens is awesome dude. I have a what I think is a good idea for a fishing series of video's that would also need some new products in your store if executed. I'll shoot you an email when I have a minute and share the deets. Have an awesome week offshore but watch out for those nasty storms we've started getting already. Tight lines and Bloody Decks!
Congrats man! Recently repowered the boat my dad and i fished when i was a kid (02' Tracker TV18); new 90hp mercury command thrust. I definitely can relate to that first ride excitement!
Congratulations on getting the dive platform and getting the transom fixed I have the same exact one I love it I swear your last two projects I did the same exact thing guess it’s a Florida thang!!
My boat has been getting transom closed in for over a year. Supposedly the fiberglass guy has a good shop.... my experience is a nightmare at at this point! You did good getting it done in 6 months!
Man, I am so happy for you, and the new engine bracket is a great modification!! Glad you closed in the transom, I was never a fan of open type transoms. Can't wait to see her out fishing soon👍
Really happy to see you have your boat back dude! Now I just need to show you how to throw a cast net when I come down hahaha! Anyhow seriously glad to see you back in your boat!
Glad she back up and running trimming all the way down helped my boat jump out of the water better then when it gets up in plane raising the motor a bit got me 2 mph faster getting a hydrofoil may help with that issue as well
Good deal. Your back on your own boat. Fish on brother! Only thing I don't like about Gill brackets. Is the noise of the waves getting caught under the plat form when fishing. But u gain fishing plat form room. And closing back off is a must on ever off shore boat, alot safer. Keep up the good videos.
👍👍 absolutely worth every penny spent. That evinrude really is impressive, congrats on all of it. I will be looking in to closing mine off after watching.
I'm so happy you got your big boat back...and she looks amazing. Also glad you upgraded the motor on the John boat. That weedwacker engine gave me a headache it was so loud. Now, on to some fishing shows. Best of luck Heiko.
She's back! Ya'll have no idea how much this moment means to me (maybe some of you do lol). But after 6 months of being dry I'm back in business and starting next week the fishing videos will be FLOWING. Thanks everyone for sticking around and helping me get through the tough times
Hell yeah, congrats man! Happy you got her back.. Can't wait to see you back out on the water making awesome videos & catching a ton of fish 🤙🏼🎣
I felt every bit of your pain.. I just recently got my boat back on the water after it sitting waiting on another motor for a good 5 months.. nice work.. glad to see you're back on the water..
Time to go sword fishing
Where the hell can I get a necklace like that??
So pumped💜
Dude what a good attitude you have. When that trailer stuff starts happening , I loose my mind. Cussing swearing.
Being heavily sedated will do that to you. Everything becomes an adventure...
Smoke weed every day!
I would have pulled the tag off and said f**k it
The boat looks way more practical with the bracket and the full transom. Well done!
You gained so much room and extra flotation when you are anchored on the reef.You also have that full gunnel height at the transom.No more worries about waves coming over the stern! So Awesome!!
Good morning Hicko i am happy for you to got your boat back Good luck catch lots of fish and have fun
Hey Hicko! LOL!
Dan is a good guy. Glad you have your boat back, your positive attitude is refreshing. Yeew!
Can’t wait for the fishing vids to be back
next week!
been wondering when we'd see the boat again. glad you got it back for at least half the season. good luck brother
Right in time for mini season!
Can't wait to get over there. It's like a fishing paradise.
Hell yea man.... looking fly AF
Thanks man! It's GAME ONNNNNNNN
@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel hell yea brotha!!
Looks great!
The extra room is priceless!
Personally, I’d plumb those aft deck drains straight overboard.
Is there a way to connect those deck drains to the existing drains in those transom boxes?
No kidding was thinking the same thing! I would be so nervous every night it rained. I would be laying in bed just thinking about her filling up with rain water.
Congrats! She looks great. Looking forward to get back to fishing content. I do highly recommend you consider plumbing those deck drains overboard somehow.

Awesome looking boat and swim platform! Ready for some more great fishing videos! Damn I need a trip to the keys! We need a fan hookup!
