So cool!!! I wish I knew you a long time ago (but it’s okay, because I watch your videos all the time now lol)… ;P
I really enjoy your RAD tiny boats… you’re very creative!!
God bless you Mike!!
These builds are amazing! I am 70 and been a working toolmaker all my life. These vids give me goals to reach for fishing and take my small boats to the next level. Thank you for the inspiration to start to build again so I can go barefoot fishing in a refurbished boat.
Great project!
Based on basic physics, the foam that you removed does not have to be replaced to provide extra normal buoyancy to the boat. The foam existed in the original build of the boat to provide lightweight structure to the seats, and maybe some buoyancy if the boat would be sinking (taking water while left uncovered on a dock, normal situation for day boat renting businesses on small lakes, or if getting flipped over).
This build is nothing short of a jaw dropper. You should be very proud
i really enjoyed this video, as a marine tech ive learned some things i will use in the future, on a side note i cannot stress how important it is too label wires, service or installs, i even go as far as labeling batteries, main battery, trolling batteries 2-3 ect for 24-36v systems. 9 times out of 10 customers bring it back to load test, replace batteries, chargers ect, and labeling everything makes my job 100 times easier, its hard to remember how you have installed things when you work on 100 boats a month and its later on you have too service it, ALWAYS LABEL!
I’m just catching up on the boats and the hard work here. I don’t know where to start, video edits and the craftsmanship is outstanding. This is what happens when you find something you love and show it to the world. You took it step farther and decided it wasn’t enough that we knew how to fish but started helping people build a cheaper better boat to catch more fish. This man needs an award.
When researching for my recent Jon Boat Restoration, rather than some of the older videos, I found yours to be extremely informative and inspiring. Thank you for what you provide to the “counter culture”😀👍
This was amazing to watch really good work!! When I was a kid I loved my time 12ft alumacraft and did my own little build nothing comparable to this but it helped me win or place in the top 5 on many local open boat tourneys against guys in full blow bass boats. Some may have laughed at my rig but not when I brought the catch in haha.
Wow! Love this boat! I’m just getting back into fishing after a few years and starting from scratch…no gear, no baits, no boat. I’m stocking up on my gear and the last thing on my list is an affordable boat. I’m glad I stumbled upon this page and this group of people. These videos give me hope that I may someday have a bass-worthy boat!
Thanks!
man you seen what people are doing with inflatable boats saw some guy at my lake with a bad ass bass boat made out of inflatbale one fits in a 2 door car when broken down and only costs about 500 or less im bout to mod my own
Fish don't care what you have for a boat. Only fishing snobs do. I've caught some monster fish from a $400 kayak. No electrical gadgets, no motors- just me, my rod, a paddle and the kayak. You can get into spots where no boat will go, and very stealthily too.
3 10" screens on a 14'er...absolutely over the top and I love it
This is easily one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
This is the dream one day.
I have a 1969 K MART 16' Aluminum hull with raised rib flooring. I love the way you handled this in your videos. I have been waiting since 07 to work on it. I'm glad I did. I will be getting my supplies from you store and getting the VIP level for the special videos. Dude, You are the MAN! Thank you and your team.
I was going to do this to my Semi-V 14' boat but after watching you guys I already give up! lol You do some cool stuff but man does that look labor intensive and expensive. Way out of my league. I lost my fire to work on my boat after seeing this. More power to the people who can afford the time and money to do it.
I'm loving these videos. I'm very seriously considering selling my Stratos, that I otherwise really enjoyed, and going with one of these. Seems like each year I'm dumping a ton of money into it just to get it ready for the season. I want something simple to maintain. And, it's almost always just me fishing.
@TB Nation is the best that ever did it uptown, downtown, and all around town. I salute you.
Ive got a 1648 that my grandfather bought brand new. 20 hp tiller jet. There is no way I would ever give that boat up due to the sentimental value, so I am looking to max it out. This video made me realize that I can make this thing into a bad machine.
Awesome build guys.
I must say. This video just saved an aluminum i was gonna toss out. No need for a bass boat. Im building me one of these
I have a Sea Nyph. made before Christ. it’s old but near to my heart. as long as it floats it’s mine. needs some upgrades. and you guys are amazing. !!!!!
Making a tiny boat has been a dream of mine for a year or two now, all because of you bro! hopefully I'll be able to start it this summer
Favorite thing about this tinyboat movement is the built not bought aspect.
I didn't realize until a few minutes in that was a brand new boat. Me and a buddy took a new 16ft with all bench seats and ripped it up and made a sweet little bay boat. It had a floor, front deck, center console with a 30hp, that was one tuff little boat.
I love the attention to detail even on the areas you can’t see on your builds. Its first class work
You make this look easy man I would love to
Do this with my tiny boat...
Bro you have this all mastered!
You keep saying “we this, we that”
I’ve never seen the other person 😂 just you…incredible stuff, wish you did a pelican bass raider though, that’s what I have.
Real nice job you guys are doing very professional. Did not see any foam inside the hull for floating in case taking in water and it will not meet the license requirement of Canadian coast guard.
I fish out of a 203 champion bass boat but man I’ve been watching your videos lately and you’re converting me over to tiny boats might have to get one now lol
Just out of curiosity if you built this exact same boat for a customer what would it cost? Fantastic work!
Well the base boat is about 12-15k
It all looks fantastic !! However i have one observation !!! Running those electrical wires through your switch panel you should use a grommet of some type !! Running a live wire through a hole drilled in the aluminium looks great but with vibrations will eventually cut through the insulation and eventually short out !!!!!! IMHO
This is what we all waited for the badass tiny boat build . There IS cool boats ,nice boats ,and a few badass BOATS.
This boat and the production quality is so insane.
Guys, i really pay you alot of respect for this stuff! in germany the boating/fishing community is very small, wish we could have kinda same over here. anyways you really doing this stuff on a level that is awesome! keep up!
To anyone who's never tried to rig a boat before. You just can't imagine the amount of work and time, involved in a build like that. I mean just doing 1 6 gang switch panel with wiring is a lot of work lol.
Dam that was a lot of work!! I wanted to do something like this but now seeing everything done I'm second guessing myself haha
That intro has me wanting to watch more. Proper professional (first time watching your channel). Keep it up ! :)
Starting my first build this December! Excited! Mostly nervous!
This boat is unbelievable!!!!! Wow this build definitely raised the bar for tiny boaters👊
I have same boat. I’m definitely gonna attempt this build for tournaments!!! Amazing and clean!!!!
You did an amazing job! Love how clean everything is on this boat. Thanks for sharing.
That is more wiring than boat..fun install, in a focused way. Strange to think that Slocum circumnavigated the globe in 1899 with a tin clock.
Nossa ... que perfeição ... Seria um sonho poder trabalhar com vocês ...
this has to be one of the coolest boats ive ever seen
I love watching the builds and gives me lots of encouragement, even as I refit and rebuild my 1980 230V Ranger. I didn't need the BIG boat but for $900.00, I took on the task. I still want to Fab. A tiny boat too, later.
I just bought a 14ft aluminum with a basic setup and am contemplating doing a full restoration but I’m not sure if I want to commit yet. It works good as is but it would be cool!
Respect. Shows your dedication to the sport
You just got a thumbs up for the detailed skip to at the beginning.👍
great job & video !! but you could encounter a serious problem from chafed wires that pass thru the back panel to components rubber grommets needed.
Got my tiny boat restore project going, that's for all the great videos.
First time visiting your channel and let me share this, so many people make videos, sound and formatting just needs a lot of help. That being said “ I loved tour video! Great cut always, song selection and sound of your voice ! Great job 👏🏽 funny and thank you for doing a great job
Nothing beats yamahammer or a merc on the water
Hey, i was wondering if you could make a price breakdown of building this boat? I think that im not the only one that would enjoy one. Just a future video idea but i would love to see the broke down price if i were to build one start to finish?
@@TinyBoatNation another question. What would be the best 16 ft boat to look for. To build a tiny boat?
Amazing work! I’m always impressed with the amount of detail you put into these boats.
Pretty sweet! I have a 1988 16ft Sea Nymph Fishing Machine that needs that kit. I wouldn't need that many graphs though.
Very nice work. Just out of curiosity how much would something like this cost. I just got rid of my 14 foot high tide Bug Buster Stick Steer and looking for something else? How much to expect to spend on the build?
Well done! Wow that boat turned out amazing
I wish I can do something like this......God bless you man 🙏
We need a Tiny boats Texas ! I have a some boats down here that will blow your mind
Badass build and perfectly executed
gotta say, holy shit the trailer looked sick with the lights
Those hatch lids you made are "SICK!!!!" awesome work!!! super clean...
keep it up...
Gotta love that kill switch lanyard lol
Great video and very informative on the build of the tiny boat. How much does it cost and time to finish to the boat?
A long time
Such a badass little boat. Nice work!
we have an 18 ft bass boat that we also use as a really cramped family boat, I hope in the future we can turn it into a slightly larger version of what this is. already like it, but this video gave me ideas for it that well, I'm pretty sure I'm never going to do.
Man I wish I was closer and could get you to help me build a boat
Wow beautiful work. You are in the zone!
This was an awesome overview of this build, you explained the process very well! I especially liked how you emphasize on the WIRING, too many skimp on this part!
Looking for ideas to redo my trailer on a 14’ Campagna (fiberglass hull, locally made skiff, LA)! I like the lighted bunks you used, better than the telescopic poles, I think anyway! I like lights!
Incredible video! I would love to see some more musky fishing in your tiny boat!
What is the thickness of aluminum would you advise for a front casting deck on a 12 foot v bottom boat and video’s are awesome keep them coming very helpful to a newby and person that can’t help but mod stock stuff
I feel like this goes without saying but you my man, are a GENIOUS!!!!
These are amazing videos. Is there a reason why you don’t just shorten all of the wiring that you have an over abundance of?
So I’ve designed my own 20HP 96V electric motor and 96V 110AH lithium battery that is only 117 lbs. it can run all of these electronics with a 96v to 12/24v transformer that’s less than 1lb. This video is very interesting.
I would really like to see that setup in action. What you just described is unheard of currently
Sickest 14fter on TH-cam for sure. What length shaft is on that Ultrex? I'm purchasing the same boat once I can sell my 1448 and I'm wondering if a 45" Terrova would be long enough to not come out of the water in a little chop.
this is a really well-made video.
hell ya i love your entro happy i found out about this movement i have had many concepts for boat design and had no idea there were others
That is so freaking cool. Just shows you dont need a 50k plus boat to have a great time.
I wish I had skills… I would build this. It’s beautiful
Do we have to buy all those tools drills, metal cutter, and wtc when we buy kit from TB Nation? Or the metal frames in kit are already cut and measured, and have holes ready to drill?
Tools are definitely needed to build and assemble any of these kits. Some are more labor-intensive than others.
Do you realize how much some people really enjoy this videos. something about drooling. :-)
Nice outfit, really nice. If I had a chance to own it, sure I would... but with the price never mentioned, this poor soul is happy with my 14 lowe just as it is. It takes me out to pull all the lip I need.
Great build! Was wondering if you have tried doing a renovation like this and then selling it? If so how did that go? Personally I would rather have the boat you just made over some of the $40,000 boats I'm seeing in basspro
Depends on the price point
Awesome video and awesome boat. Did you guys think about lithium batteries to keep down the weight? I know they are expensive. Just wondering..... Thanks for the video!!
9:08 look at all those nice fender washers you threw away
Cool video and philosophical introduction earned a sub, and (gasp...) I don't even fish!
I wanna see how whoever did those bunks on the trailer that light up did that project for sure!!
@@TinyBoatNation appreciate it!!
Awesome Video. The song at the end is my cousin Nick!
Man, another amazing build. Congrats!
Beautiful boat build, I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning and you have truly turned into a pro boat builder. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind words
Muy inspirador tus proyectos, felicidades
Okay....I need to know. What price range of an investment is this. I love this idea. It's pretty darn close to perfect for what I need. Also...there is no way I could build it. So, what are my options there?
Hey...stupid question (newbie question) i have a 14ft aluminum boat...if i will build inner walls like you did and fill them with foam, this will increase the flotation of the boat and will reduce the boat tipping on sides? Thanks in advance! :)
I have a 12/32 tiny jet boat its a 1975 aluminum craft topper 12 with a predator 670 stage 2 build connected to a kawasaki 1100 zxi intake and pump unit. Not as nicely done as yalls but she will do 38mph In chop and 41 on flat glass and only needs 4 inches of water to run in.
Hi just purchased a Alumacraft V-16. And I. was wondering if you guys ever built the hide away console for electronics similar to the one on the 18 ft Lund tillers
I watched this whole video.. and it was the best thing I watched today
🔥🔥🔥 Awesome! TBNation at its best!
How do the electrics do inside the aluminum boxes in the heat of summer. Here in Texas we have some high summer temperatures.
This is awesome! How much does something like this cost in the end & is that lake havasu ?
Awesome video and really helpful, how much would it be to do something like that without all the electronics?
I wanna build a tiny bass boat...i got a 12w tracker...would this be good for a one person boat? Maybe an extra guy once in a blue moon...but would it be a ok stable boat when done?
Hello Guy's Just a quick question how much the tiny boat or how much money you put to Build the boat /
30k , he commented above
Killer build my friend. Killer!!!
