Sweet builds, no doubt about it. Don't forget about your average Joe viewers though! How about a budget challenge build? Maybe you and the crew square off with like a $1500 budget or so and poll your audience for the winner!
Thats my thing with these ones he's building is like your putting 30k into a 14 foot boat like I thought he was doing this to compete against the big ones and while yes 30k is less than the 60 to 90k......its still not reasonable....if I have 30k I can buy a full size 6 year old bass boat with all the bells and whistles it does seem kinda strange lol
Yea I mean he said $3-6k you can do a good build on a 16’ deep v. You can also look at paying by the hour, plane tickets expenses. That can be $3k-8k. So over all you’ll pay $6k-14k in a boat to be done in 4days? Like my boat an 1987 v has Johnson 15hp motor limit is 900 ish pounds. Just me and maybe my young kids. But I want it for bow fishing also.
It would be nice to see something like that diy is made for the people that don’t have much money to blow on brand new stuff that’s why it’s called do it yourself when he said how much it cost it’s a big turn off for me to even try to do one
This was awesome! I love honesty! You get what you pay for and your boats are awesome. Worth every penny. I’m self employed and also building a boat that should be finished in a couple weeks. I think when you add up your hours of putting one of these things together I would have been money ahead to have taken it to you and had you build it! I commend you and your group for the quality work and products your sell.
It don’t take long to add up, I bought a old 16’ aluminum boat for $600 and old 40hp, now have $7,000 + in it after I-pilot link and finders and cmc tilt. New deck and paint the works. And did it all myself from watching your vids!
The whole team is awesome and I greatly appreciate all the inspiration,you’ve given me the “confidence “ to be able start my 1436 Tracker Topper and one the best parts is the Amazon store where I bought everything I needed,thank again TBN Team ❤️👏💪
I did get the Johnson lower unit repaired, starter replaced, and electrical replaced. I also bought the BOS and fuel gauge afterwards. You guys are the best. Thanks again @tbnation

Awesome video brother. You do amazing work! Just picked up an older tracker 170 Tx and hope to get the decking and hatches re worked. I’ll be wintering in Havasu this year and leaving the boat with a buddy on the River if I decide to travel again next summer. I’ll bring my boat by to get an estimate for work on what I mentioned, and possibly some suggestions on lighting. Stay well and take care, hope to meet you sometime mid October when we get to town.
A lot of comments on here about it costing so much. Well how much do people out there spend on their dogs and cats? How much do people out there spend on their sup’d up F150 or other vehicles? It all depends on if you, yourself, want to spend the money. You can’t buy these elite tiny boats at a dealer. You either have to do it yourself or get Nate (maybe another Tin Can crew member) to do one for you. For the price you get custom and high functionality. Just go to bass pro and really look at what you are paying for. Most of them are crap until you get into the big bucks boats. They have no storage, live wells are small, the layout is crap. If I had 20K to spend would I go with a plane Jane bass pro boat or a fully decked out elite tiny boat? Another factor is durability. These elite ones are all aluminum, you never have to worry about rotting wood underneath. And if you don’t have the money then do it yourself and on your timetable. Mike’s non-welded lid system is killer for a DIYer.
dude we got burned a few months ago from a guy who sold us a bass tracker with stress cracks and leaky rivits!! I was so bummed working on it with 3 days to go for our camping trip!! Wish I knew your channel before I went and bought tracker!! After watching your channel rebuild boats!! Dude it’s inspiring I totally wanna do one now! 😂 maybe I’ll rebuild our new boat cuase the hatches our poorly made and the vinyl floors is already pulling up and I haven’t even got her in the water yet so annoying
Question: if you were to do a 14’ boat, but, it would only have a front and rear deck, no middle, and it’s simple, not too many hatches, simple drain, and a small platform for a trolling motor up front, how much would it cost?
Top video top content. Any chance of any content or information on where to see a aluminium boat get bent repair with filler and painted. Not much on TH-cam on this topic that I can find and with your channel it would be great to see. Keep up your great work 👍
@@TinyBoatNation Thxs for your reply. I'm in Australia and have a 20 year old boat and have been look at your content and have been thinking of revamping it. Only thing is I have a few dents in it and would like to have it straight. So that would be filling the dents and repainting it. But not sure in process nor materials to use on aluminium to fill dents and help get the hull straight again.
I bought a 14’ Gregor v shape for 300. Home built a trailer for it. Picked up a 89 Evinrude 35hp short shaft 2 strokes for $50 in unknown condition and fixed it up as a rookie boat mechanic (tons of research). Ran like a champ when tested it did 32mph but boat is empty just a temporary center console for testing. Next up imma DIY a cheap version of what these guys do for under 1k. Plan to repurpose a lot of materials and minimize purchases. Goal is overall cost under 1k and I don’t need advance electronics just my motor and trolling and lights.
Love the work it's amazing don't get me wrong but if I'm going to spend that much I'd rather buy an all aluminum 2021 Lowe Stinger 175C with motor and trailer for 17k, because at the end of the day your still on the lake with an old ass boat!
I love watching the videos but these prices are a little ridiculous. Bang for bunk, price for size how ever you want to look at it. It just doesn’t seem worth it. Cutting out the trolling motor, 3x helix 7s(about 3k$) 14,000 - 3,000 = 11k + boat/motor 2k. 13k total minus electronics. That’s more than picking up a used bass boat, which typically comes with a trolling motor and some sort of fish finders. I bought a used 1989 ranger 361v powered by a mercury 150. Came with a Minn Kota trolling motor(not fancy bare bones 12v TM). Had original black and white fish finders that barely worked. $2,700. What iv done/added: Main Console: helix 10 MEGA SI g2n($500 used) Mount: Ballzout 9” ($50 used) Bow: helix 7 MEGA DI ($550 new) Mount: Ram ($50 new) TM foot pedal tray(free because it got damaged in either manufacturing or shipping, got refunded and didn’t have to send it back, so I repaired it) Carpet: $300 New batteries: $300 Misc: $200 estimate Total: $4650 I got lucky in finding the used stuff in good working condition. But even brand new I’m no where close to 13k. Hell I could add an Ultrex/mega 360/helix 10 mega DI on bow/atlas jack plate and still be under $13,000 and that including if I bought my current helix 10 Mega SI and ballzout mount new. I always thought it would be cool to build a tiny boat for specific tournaments and fisheries, but not sure if it’s worth or feasible. Would love to see a budget build:$1000 or less for boat, $1,500 or less build budget cap.
Totally understand. But some people want a ranger in a 14/48. Or 16/48. For small boat tournaments. My area is 25 hp restrictions. Lots of 16’. 20-30k builds. These guys want what they want. To fill the void that other companies miss
A budget is your budget. Most of these videos are really here to help DIY type people and show us what goes on behind the scene. Sounds like you're on path with DIY. Just appreciate TBNation..
How come your not putting on the diy power poles? was that more of a experiment or didn't work as well to your standards . Just asking because I am in the middle of building mine . Is there something i should know ? not worth the time or is it ?
Nice. Had a guy that wanted to buy my 14x48. I said $16,500 and I thought he was gonna have a heart attack. It's has over $7G's in electronics on it. I really blew his mind when I told him that figure doesn't include the man hours.
@@TinyBoatNation I do it with my car stuff all the time. But never attempted on a boat. Especially the wiring and stuff but I really admire what you guys are doing and would pay to get it done 🙏🏼
I’d like to see you break one down today brother with all this damn inflation. I buy and sell late model bass boats for a living and we’re selling used now for what the owners paid for them new.
I got a 14ft 1968 chrysler vhull big fisherman that I was gifted with a brand new motor looking to convert like that 14ft craft. I can drop it off in havasu
I know a old vid. But i dug deep and i can not find a answer. Cost is 2 to 4 l. But what is the added weight? I ask cause my current vehicle can tow 1k.

Get back to the roots of this channel.....Budget boats. I have a 91 landau 1446 I don't have the means to throw 10-20k into a boat. But want to build the best I can with what I have. I'm using this boat for all of the cannels around me in FL so don't need a motor right away maybe just a good trolling motor. I have less than 4k to build or my wife will murder me.

How much does all that weigh?? If a boat has a 800 weight limit would all that kill the ability to have more than one person on the boat
I had more weight on that boat in its first edition (lots of wood, too much foam) and with 3 adults and 2 kids it still went 19mph.
