- This year I'm documenting the entire boat build process of my Falcon 205. Each time I've taken my boat to the water I've found something else I liked about it more and more with each visit to the lake. The process of building a fiberglass boat is fascinating that I wanted to share the event with you here. Since the build is about a 1 week long process I'll split the vlog in to several videos highlighting a different aspect of the boat each time. I hope you find it valuable for your boat search!

Be sure to comment with any questions about Falcon boats. We will try to answer them as they come through!
I've been doing fiberglass for 27 years. From building patterns, to molds and masters to parts. I love these videos. I feel at home.
Todd Lehman I have a 16 foot Thunder Craft boat. It’s a 1987. How long will fiberglass last?
Saw my boat in the background the Texas roadhouse boat picking it up from John next week.!!
captain Jim maryland I spotted it right before I read this.
You have opened my eyes to these Falcon boats. I have watched many different boat build videos. I have even seen first hand a few salt water boat builds. I started working with fiberglass around the age of 12 working on surf boards and boats. Move on to using fiberglass and other composites on Naval aircraft while in the Navy.
I really like the way the stringers are designed. Being the transom and stringers are full composite without the use of wood means you don't need to worry about replacing rotten wood down the road. Needless to say I would like to own one of these!
lance henthorn the stringer system is legit!
I love watching boat builds. I worked at MasterCraft and Yamaha for few years and I always enjoy seeing how other companies do it. I don't do that kind of work anymore but I still enjoy watching it. Great VID BLat. Keep em coming!
Same here. I worked for Holiday Mansion. This is a much better way to see these builds. I don't miss the smell at all.
Seeing that guy with the crow bar made me uneasy🤣🤣. All I could imagine was scratches on that flake.
I was thinking the same thing! Metal crow bar on fiberglass made me cringe..
No need to worry where the Crowbar actually touches . yea some scratches will barely be visible or feelable bur what the metal flakes in the black help do is .help to not be able to really see scratches well and also the scratches will be so small that bar when they take a buffing wheel the entire bottom part of the boat for the Finish process they will be absolutely gone
Any scratches from crow bar will be hidden from rubber bumper
Bring back a ton of memories... Used to work on a boat assembly line for like 5 yrs... Know all that stuff too well
New subscribed from Somalia 🇸🇴
Thank you for taking us on your trip to see how your boat is made
Great idea to document this build. Enjoyed the video
This is such a cool process Brian! Thank you for bringing us along man!!
Keep up the good work bro 👍🏽Checking in from Savannah Ga.
I'm so glad you did this video series because I've always wanted to see how they do it
I just stumbled across your channel. I'm loving the straight up fishing. I'm sure you're the ONLY pro angler that understand that until this spring my PB came out of a pond in Craytonville SC!
Bobby Campbell I love pond fishing!
This is a really interesting series. Thank you for making it. It would be nice if the builders left Poly Pull String inside of either side of the hull before the top is bonded to the bottom to alleviate the frustration and cursing should anyone desire to wire in some new components in the future. They could just utilize the string and then use another length to put it back into the original location for the next time. Adding wiring and switch options in the storage lockers for a passive alarm system would be nice too. Those lockers are storing a lot of expensive items.
Brian, good luck with this years fishing. I must say I'm really surprised you take the time to reply to these You Tube comments. You're a class act.
Richard Strohbach I appreciate you watching
Hey Brian, another great video, I'm glad you done this one, I really didn't have any ideal how they put a boat together. I feel safe now knowing how it was built when we go flying down the lake. Looks like that company takes a lot pride in their work too.
Thanks for the clip. Neat seeing how it’s done.
I used that closed cell insulation in construction. It will get hard as a rock once fully cured. Great video Brian.
Another awesome video Brian, can’t wait to see the rest of the build!
Beautiful boat Brian! Thanks for posting the videos of the build process. I too have had to run wires in my boat when uprading electronics. What a pain. I completely understand you wishing for a removable cap.
Scooby Doo how the heck do you run wires through the boat. I bet it’s much easier this way.
I just purchased a new 24' CC bay boat with hard T-top, luckily the manufacture has chases built in with pull ropes for add-ons. But all boat manufactures should incorporate a empty conduit (large enough for the largest transducer plug) ran from under rear deck to under console, then from under console to front deck.
I get to make a comment because I have a 215. Wiring is more than adequate. I added my own graphs and had no problems fishing the wiring and transducers from stern to bow. I even added some additional power cabling. It is not the best wiring system I have ever seen in a boat but it is much better than a stuffed 2 inch conduit tube that makes it impossible to add wiring. I had a Phoenix before the Falcon and it had the 1500.00 integrated wiring harness that was nice than the stock Falcon system but it was harder to "change" things up if required. The boat is incredibly solid. The only use of chop is that first coat and the rest of my boat seems to be the industry standard coaxial and triaxial sheets. That "chop" layer is great way to get a smooth glass finish right next to the gelcoat without letting an air bubble get under a mat of glass that can lead to a weak spot so I don't mind it being there. A Falcon is a great boat that meets a "price point" and delivers great value and performance at that point. It is not a Hatteras or Buddy Davis Hull but it is not several million dollars either. Love my Falcon...
George fedor yes the open gunnels is the way to go! I used to run a boat with conduit and foam and it’s much harder. The funny thing about the chop gun comments is that there’s literally not a boat on the market that doesn’t use a similar glass process. 😂
Really enjoy seeing the process
Yo, crazy cool series. I'm a junkie for something with gills just like you and I knever knew the process was like this?!? Can't wait to see the next one
That's a slick looking boat!
So cool how they put the boat together
Edward Mcleod I love doing this series
Binge watching and loving it
SO FAR SO GOOD.. GOING TO BE SOME NICE ROCKET
I work at superboats on Long Island NY we still use wood stringer glassed in I love this guys idea a mold made stringer that is ingenious also it’s called a deck and a cockpit not a cap hull and deck sorry that anoyed me that you called the deck a cap haha
Hmmm that kinda makes you wonder why the engineers of the boat call it a cap and Hull doesn’t it 😂
Looks like a falcon sweet boat dude.
You can see the difference in the way boats are built from previous years and now "No Wood in the transom" I can't believe how flexible that fiberglass was!!! I was getting scared watching them using crowbars to get the top cap fitted to the hull.
I can totally relate to the profanity mate, I am building a 42ft cat and swear all day long. Cheers and great video.
Im excited just watching this man i know this was ome of the best days of your life G
Awesome videos, awesome boat. Keep it up.
That's a good looking boat
That's a really good looking boat I like the 2 color
Nice... I'll take the old boat thank you.. lol stay blessed bro
I just found your channel a few days ago. I'm now a subscriber. Keep up the great work. Tim from Hernando, Fla
nice video....
Lovin the boat build vids...keep em coming! It's looking sharp!
jared k thanks man!
@@BrianLatimerFishing your wecome
Nice job Brian....thanks!
Awesome Vid!!! Boat looks Sick!
Nice boat Brian
I knew made alot of boats here in sc. But falcon i didnt. Pretty cool.
Beautiful color bro! Can't wait to see ya get some hogs in that bad dude.!
Love my favorite rods 🔥
EMiniard Fishing I’m itching!
@@BrianLatimerFishing I'm itching to watch ya bro!
Cool vid! Ready for the next one.
C Bach motor and carpet!!!
Let me know when you need me to make the inaugural run with you buddy!
Not sure guy understood questions but was very agreeable
Love the boat, and the fact that they let you film the process. But oh man. . . Those livewell pumps look impossible to access, am I wrong?
hey brian. this is the most coolest series i have seen its really cool to see how bass boats are made i never really knew how they made bass boats now i know. one thing i would like to know is this , how do they ship boats to places like bass pro shop and cabelas???
I like the color combo.Felt the blue should have been a little wider to give it more of a pop.Gold would have really dressed it out.Interesting how they build them now a days.
Should use heat shrink tube on all those wire connections with out they will corrode and have problems down the road.
Hey dud B. nice fiber construction bass boat ,next time a all welded aluminum bass boat build video . 👍
great video very interesting
No overview video of the finished product? I'd like to see what it looks like when ready.
Totally enjoyed the video, really. But I just couldn't help but wonder where their safety glasses and respirators were?
Another great video! I am still trying to finish my strip and rebuild, (it is going on a year now). finally getting close to doing carpet. Wondering if Martha is taking upholstery side jobs?? 🤓😂
Cool!
The crow bar scared me.
Hope you continue videos on the build. Interesting. How long does it sit while mud dries
rangerbull it depends. There’s a week long process of rigging after this step so it’s not like the boat would be used in a day after it’s capped
Love it
I'm 'currently more comfy with quality aluminum ... I had a hull leak get pretty ugly with f-glass. Repair takes a lot of sanding, etc. I may be wrong.
Great video! When pros get a new sponsored boat for the upcoming season, what do boat companies like Falcon do with the model the pro previously used? Does Falcon sell it to a customer or do the pros have an option to keep it for personal use?
Cameron Smith I’ve already sold mine
Why no conduit for wiring front to back??
Kirk Reusch wise open gunnels for rigging
amen! with conduit if ever needed for the wires to be changed they could just be pulled through
I assume they skipped a few steps to meet a price point.
I wanted to build one on the website but I don’t know how
Great vid, cool dude .
You should run the new Pro Xs fourstroke.
Brian, weird question: How long after you finished filming this series (which is really enjoyable, good job on it) were you still smelling resin 24/7? I know when I'm doing fiberglass the stink of the resin sticks with me for several days, and I've never built a boat.
Bom dia @Brian Latimer sou do brasil tem planta dê-se bass boat pra mim baixa quero projeta um sou do Brasil amigo.
Abraço parabéns pelos ótimos conteúdos 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the video I have always wondered how the put the color and gel coats into the boats. Where is Falcon Boats locates?
Is the transom vacuum molded fiberglass like a bass cat or is something like coosa board.
At first i wasn't sure about the colors, but that's good looking boat...but does it catch fish?
Tom K no sir it definitely doesn’t
For those wondering, a new Falcon F205 is about 60k
In todays world of bass boats, that's not too bad...
You can get a niiiiccceeee loaded out ,Nitro Z21
Looking good can't wait to see the finished product, by the way hope your going to put a Evinrude Go on the back. 👍🐟💦
Paul Finley that’s next!
How much are these boats stock
You should put a pro xs 4.6 v8 mercury they sound mean
So if you have to go back and do some more wiring for something else after you get the boat home how would you go about running your wires ?
brian gentry fish cord
How much does the boat weigh and where's that Rainy Russell video? Haha I've been waiting patiently to see how that went for you.
Brian Bunner I’m not exactly sure but look at the website for all the specs
Looking good! You still going to use the Mercury?
Nemesis A6 don’t know yet
Awesome video. Loved every minute of it. I have a question.. How strong is the fiberglass? Preferably their fiberglass boats. When coupled with a hammer. I'd like to see a demonstration
James Hall fishing we don’t hit fiberglass with hammers 👍🏾
@@BrianLatimerFishing 😂
Brian can you talk about how Falcon does there transom?
kory faulkner check out the first video. You’ll see the entire stringer system
They better Glue It, Cap It, & THEN Screw It...!
So im trying to figure out why u would have to get a new boat every year? Boats usually last a really long time if taken care of.
Who said I have to?
So after rereading my comment i realized that it came off a little rude which was definitely not my intentions! So i would like to apologize for that.i was actually asking just out of curiosity.
i see one major design flaw, that is the lack of pvc pipe to enclose the wires under the top cap, because trying to pull wires through and across the zip ties will introduce anyone to new levels of profanity
Quick question regarding length between the 195 and the 205. Is the difference solely in the size of the deck, with the console/rear being the same size? I saw how the Charger 195 is like this compared to their 210 model.
The Timmerman totally different platform
Brian what happens with your old Falcon?? Do you trade it in? Get to keep it or what? Just wondering... A giveaway would be pretty sweet haha 😉😂
It is listed for sale
Great video ! Not party 3 with motor and electronic ?
Bernes Florian I don’t know what you’re talking about I’m sorry
A Yamaha would look sweet on that boat!! Might be easier to sell next year ( when you get a new one), LOVE the way your getting ALOT of your gear from South Carolina!
What are the lids made out of and how do they make them
s static aluminum
Opie Hootie Shallow water
Replacing a bilge pump or shift cable or anything is almost always a bitch
So did they run the transducer cable underneath?
SCOTT APPLEY no electronics rigging that’s last
Wonder about making them boats out of carbon fiber??? Maybe lined on top of an aluminum skeleton for the hull....🤔🤔🤔
Not hard... Just expensive. They have flange molds so would be easy to bag it and infuse. and I wouldn't bother with aluminum skeleton go full carbon.
Why did you decide to run a F205 compared to a F215? I know that the 205 is rated for the same HP and is slightly faster but for places like Lanier and Okeechobee I'd figure youd want a true 21' boat.
tloftis871 I’d run a 19 before a 21.
@@BrianLatimerFishing whys that?
tloftis871 why do I need a 21?
Now Brian, ain't nary need to be a cussin'. Nary need a'tall. Say what I say: Dagnabbedit. Or, well I'll be a suckeggedmule.
Taka Yama you’re right
Glue it Screw it and Cap it
B LAT. how do you have fishing without him?
Are you going to do a give away with your old boat? Please choose me. Please
nedia
What’s the ballpark price of a falcon boat like that?
aquaticnut86 I’d say around 58-60k
Yeah I wish it was simple to take'em apart and wire them up. lol
BassGeek someday we’ll have all wireless stuff
Yeah I agree!!
@@BrianLatimerFishing I have thought the same thing but I liked your idea about a hydraulic separating hull to work on em. Something along those lines anyway
jared k yeah Lowrance has already put it in the new TI units I dig it.
@@BassGeek sweet!
