- Follow along as I turn a junk, rotting plastic pond boat into the world's smallest Boston Whaler. I might have made some miscalculations along the way... Watch me clean, paint, and fully build this custom mini speedboat!

i just exploded in laughter when the console just flipped into the water 😂😂 thank you for producing this type of content i juts love and want to do the same !!
😂😂😂 next time we’re going to make sure it’s secured… but hey thank you so much man! I really appreciate the compliment
If the lake was a giant toilet, this thing would be the turd that refused to flush! 💩 😂👏
If you had a little electric pressure washer you could make some amazing clips of removing the crud, just an idea. Awesome job and love the channel!
For sure! Definitely going to be my next purchase. Really appreciate the kind words too thank you watching
Amazing Paint Job and looking forward to part 2
I appreciate that!!!
my first boat was an 8 ft plastic boat just like this design.. i slapped a suzuki 2.5 on it, fit right inside my suburban. very cool video.. will be neat to see it run on the water! glad you didn't capsize out in the deep. i think chopping the console and sitting on the floor will help for sure.
They’re fun little boats for sure - thanks for watching!!
That’s awesome!
Maybe cut a hole in the front of the console and put in a windshield so you can sit behind the console while you captain the vessel.
Excited to see how this turns out man. I enjoy your content.
Thank you Travis! Going to get a couple more videos out then get this thing fixed up. Really appreciate your support
This dude is a legend,
Outriggers! That's my advice, anyway. Make a couple outriggers that extend out a few feet from the sides and the back; it's what I use to turn my kayak into a little bass boat and it makes it stable enough to jump around in. Get the biggest size boat fenders (dock bumpers) you can, I use the Attwoods, and fabricate the framing from pvc or treated lumber, and make it so you can attach/detach easy using your impact at the launch. Such a fun and cool video, and happy you and the boat made it back safe!
I love that slap sound......awesome!
I love it man! Just found your channel and subscribed.
@@richrreeves thank you!!
there's only 1 thing you need to do to fix this build:
Paint it Orange. it threw off the console and tried to dump you because it was disappointed you painted it the wrong color.
also, it might like some sick flames to help it go faster
I think you should go all the way: that thing needs the worlds smallest pilot house! And a radar! And if it gets too top heavy, well give it a keel! You earned a new subscriber here! All the best from Stockholm, Sweden.
Haha!! Love it. And thank you, so much 🇺🇸🤝🇸🇪
Welcome to the world of content creation! It doesn't always go as planned.
Wayne!! Always loved your content man, thanks for watching!!
Me, and I'm sure quite a few others, would love a walk through of all the all tools you use on outboards/where you source parts from in a video.
So funny you say that- That is going to be my next video!!
Found your channel today and have already watched most of your videos, and subscribed also. Great content, keep it up.
Looking at the console I noticed about a 1" hole on the back side toward the bottom (if you were sitting behind the console the hole would be by your right foot). This got me to thinking it may be possible to put either PVC or chrome bow railing on the bottom left and right, and after you cut down the console drill holes to fit the pipe/railing. Install the pipe/railing on the boat on the left and right (run the pipe through the console first) and that way you can solidly mount the console to the boat, but still be able to slide it fore and aft along the rails, but it wouldn't fall out of the boat again.
Excited for the next video! Love watching your videos! Keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Lmao!! Awesome content! Im 23 just bought my first boat 6 months ago and now getting it ready to test in the water! But im already getting the itch to buy cheap project boats I see on marketplace… this series might just give me the courage haha, keep it up
Thank you! And You have found the right channel my friend! This is home base for boat related marketplace shenanigans
Good job on the paint, really looking forward to your part two. 👍
I appreciate it! I’ll get it out soon 💯
This was the best video ever ! made my day thank you bro from Australia
That means the world to me man! Thank you so much! 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸
It's good to be young!!!!!
20 paint special. Looks good from 20 feet 🤣
@@HawkfootInc.7 😂😂😂 gonna start using that one
Good stuff
Thank you!
Awesome new channel reminds me of ThatBoatGuy
He has always been my favorite channel to watch for years so I consider that a very nice compliment! Thank you
Yeah, chopping the console sounds like a good idea.
I would say leave it as is and add an outrigger for balance.
That seems to be a common one.. much appreciated!
You can’t polish a turd…but you can spray paint it!😂
True 🤣
That thing just cares me to death! Glad it didn't wreck your weekend.
I have 0 experience working on boats but I believe it needs a cabin
Compton whaler 😎👍
This one wins 🤣
Add some 8-10" capped/water tight PVC pipe to the sides. 4 feet or so in length
I like this one a lot… saving this for later! Thanks
New to your channel but really enjoy watching!
Thank you so much for watching! Really glad you enjoy it
Props for trying. I do believe however you are a man that has the skills and ability to be a creator, and not a modifier. Design your own, and build from the ground up. I would love to see you make a design and put some real skill into it. You have the talent to do so. We believe in you. Be careful out there, not worth losing the $$ or to harm yourself. I think you are right however about lowering everything and getting to a more solid base. Keep the vids coming.
I appreciate the compliment - but I’m not sure I’d give myself that much credit 😅 maybe with some time to learn and a lot more space and tools… would be hard to do a full ground up fabrication in my 1 car garage at the moment.. but I do have big plans for the future! So thank you for the encouragement
hahaha beautiful experiment
Make an outrigger type set up?
Yeah!! I’m thinking PVC outriggers and chop the console in half… then we will see how fast she can go 😎😎 thanks for watching!
That paint job is top quality.😅 I dig it I love shitter boats
Me too 🤣 nothing better
Keep up the great content and much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤
Thanks so much!!
dude no way. i didn’t relise you were by CJ. I wish i was here for this 😂
Well that’s where most of my shenanigans will be taking place 😂 I’m new in town
@@BoatBusters dude. if your ever intrested in fishing you just lmk. i’ll show you around
@@user-ud2pw2uh3k hit my instagram! Always down to meet up with some folks in town
put a rail on the console on the bottom end so that you can move it back and forth.
if it work for you, the paint job good
I’m not telling u what to do but just a good opinion is to fill the bottom of the boat with spray goats just spray the holes full
Chop the console and ad a cushion on the live well like you said 🤘🤘
You got it 🫡 thanks for watching man!
More impressed the console survived the drive!
Binged you vids, sub, looking forward to the growth of this fun channel.
SHOULD FILL ALL DRILL HOLES WITH GREAT STUFF FOAM ? LOWER CONSOLE YES..OH AND FASTEN IT TO THE BOAT LOL ...
At the 8:27 mark I thought I was watching a Wagner commercial!
At the 8:27 mark I thought I was watching a Wagner commercial.
Noted 🤣 I can totally see that now haha
I'm sad for the GameFisher...I just bought a 15hp one and finally got it working like a charm. Praying it stays that way.
Haha sometimes you can find a decent one… they’re just a lot plastic parts on them that are known for crapping out. Hopefully you got a good one though!
@@BoatBusters Praying. First motor for my boat!
@@ianwaters6272 some people have good experiences im just a certified gamefisher hater… I plan on making a gamefisher abuse video so make sure to close your eyes for that one 🤣
Instead of the wagner just get a real set up it will help you in the future. Instead of rattle can jobs you do good work an the compressor paint gun would do you good
I'm not a boat expert but can't you add some floating devices to the sides to make it more stable,i do think you should shorten the driver thing and put a seat in the middle.
You got it!!!
It’s a shame you only have 3 vids so far I need more content from you
I’m trying 😂 honestly wasn’t expecting to have as many people watching this quick haha hopefully will have my next one posted here in the next couple days and have lots more planned! Appreciate the support
If you woulda just bolted the steering column to the boat it would’ve been fine the first time lol
Still would have been way too top heavy to be going 30+ mph for sure… but yeah I thought I had a genius idea to be able to adjust the weight to the bow or stern but clearly didn’t go how I drew it up lmao
Sorry, I did burst out in laughter
That thing needs outriggers.
With all the sunshine, why did you choose white? Gray is always good.
Wanted it to look like a mini Boston whaler haha
Pull the gamefisher out of the can, repair and sit low in that tub😂
That wouldn’t make for interesting TH-cam content though 😂
I would cut it up and recycle it.
Your not going to resort to the gamefisher motor ??? 😆
I am a certified gamefisher hater 😂 I’ll paddle myself back to the dock for 3 miles before I put one on my boat
Or…
Split the boat down the middle and convert it to a mini catamaran.
We gotta close up the boarder on this one bud. Joebiden hair white.hope it i's as sea worthy as ol boy. 😅😅😅😊😊
That lip was for seat holders. I had one that I kept at a pond behind Home Depot, someone stole it.
Yeah I had a feeling that was what it was for.. never owned a boat like this before so it’s fun to tinker with. Sorry your rig got stolen!
If I was you I would find a Jon boat for what you want to do but I like you idea
No console. Electric motor.
Where the periscope 😂
Chop the console please and sit lower it should change alot
Not the game Fisher in the trash 😔
@@Yelladog78 you must learn to accept hard truths 🤣
@@BoatBusters lol I hear ya, I'm a sucker for vintage junk
Don’t cut that find a correct 14 to 16 ft boat for it!!!!
But that’s no fun!!! 🤣
Agree game fisher are very whack!!
Never seen more plastic parts anywhere!!
Work on your balance it’s not that hard. I sit in a 30’ crows nest on mine
You paid money for a Johnson?😂
Whoaaa Yamahas are the best but I will not tolerate Johnson slander on this channel!
Makes me glade I don’t follow you.
@@337South makes me glad I know how to spell glad
