    Before I watch another second of this video, I’m going to say “YES” it is unsinkable. It’s a Whaler! Now let’s finish the video. Ah ha! Now get yourself some Flex Seal! Love it! Nice video Did you film in the ICW? Looks like it

    I really like Whalers. Even thought of buying an old one and covert it to a bass boat. Huge deck, storage, bow TM, livewell the works and still run with hand tiller motor. Glad PATCHIE will live again soon. I knew your Yamaha would fire up. Anyone who has seen your past videos knows it's been thru worse. Love the video.

    Hey guys I’m in North Fort Pierce bring me the two parts I’ll glass them back together and make that boat look like the day it came off the showroom floor. Tight coat LLC is my business and making old Boston whalers look beautiful again is what I do. I’m working on a TH-cam channel now and I would love to collaborate with you guys.

    You should totally test the flex tape on this boat and see if it truly holds up and can repair a boat as they have in their ad!

    Our oyster boat was a coast guard target boat that they would shoot at the bare hull then it would sink and then they float it and patch it up again. That’s why it was a free boat because of all the bullet holes that missed the target would sink the boat. It is a 2006 Carolina skiff 2170 DLX. Now it is our oyster boat for our oyster farm. The restoration took 6 months and 44 gallons of fiberglass resin and 20 gallons of fairing compound

    I have a Boston Whaler that I converted into a jetboat and built a pilot house out of CNC foam and fiberglass that is sealed all the way around other than a small part of the aft deck to fish out of. But it has a door so it seals for the weather with AC/heater, toilet, bed, stove, and oven. It looks like a spaceship. It can go almost anywhere with it I mostly use it in the Bay Area Delta to run food and supplies to the islanders. Boston Whalers are great platforms because of the large deck space to work with.

    Its a shame you destroyed that Boston Whaler just to test if it would sink or not. Its already been proven many times over so you did not have to do that. Many people are trying to buy old whalers to restore and they are getting harder to come by. Even though the outside did not look good, it does not matter with a whaler because all that can be easy to bring back. The foam still looked great which is the important part so it was a perfect project boat for someone.

      Aslong as it’s foam filled, it is indeed unsinkable or atleast to a certain point. It can tip over because of the motor weight in the back. But it’ll keep floating for sure !!! Pretty sure if it’s got good foam like this Whaler has you’ll be safe for many many years on the water

    • @josefastboats5874
      @josefastboats5874 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY. All of it. The grey fuel hoses (Commonly sold at Walmart) have a type of plastic liner inside that disintegrates and mixes with the gas - Blocks the fuel pump, etc. Replace it with fresh fuel line, the Black Rubber Kind. Say no to those Grey fuel lines. They destroy good days in the water, and destroy fuel systems

    You should fiber glass the boat back together and take all the foam out of the floor. It would be interesting to pour different types of 2 part foam that reacts to compare the price and the quailty of the foam of not taking on water. Like compare cheap house spray foam with marine foam and cheaper mixes of the 2 part foam and different types. It would be intersting to see how it would preforme and what other results you would get
