Your the first youtube Jon boat restorer I've seen to actually paint with a respirator. Props for being safe and not giving bad advice to your viewers.
Man the more I watch videos about people sanding down and repainting there boats. The less I want to do it I think I might just squint at my boat. Mine Looks great from a long way away.
WOW! That's an unbelievable restoration, dude. You took that boat from "near-basket case" to really nice. It's proof that old aluminum boats never die. They just need a coat of paint every 25 years.
Hope you bought it cheap. It’s amazing how much money a guy can sink a project. I’ve done one and now doing a second, sometimes your better paying more up front,have a better boat that commands a higher price. PS. I’m a cheesehead and cheap as the day is long.
How's the aluma hawk holding up? I just did mine with a roller and brush. I read that spraying wasn't recommended because it dries so quick but it was a nightmare getting this thick, quick drying paint in all the nooks and crannies with a roller. Wish I tried spraying it first. Letting it cure for the week before I put it back on the trailer but I worry ill have peeling or chipping issues in some spots that went on thick with the brush
It’s holding up good, but I haven’t taken it out much. I’m in the process of doing some other mods to it. Hopefully I can get it done before spring rolls around.
Getting a pretty setup 14ft Jon boat this weekend from a buddy who just got a small bass boat. Getting a good deal on it but it has some leaky rivets, how's that gluvit holding up for you??
It’s holding up great as far as I can tell. I had never taken the boat out before I applied the Gluvit, so I don’t know if it was leaking previously. It definitely doesn’t leak now though.
I dedicated an entire weekend to sanding and the gluvit. Not sure exactly how many hours I spent, but probably 7-8. I’m sure I could have gotten by with spending less. I was trying to get most of the original paint off which was unnecessary.
In Kentucky, you don’t have to have a boating license if you have a driver’s license. You can get a boating license if you’re under 16. I do not know the minimum age. Your boat has to be registered and have a sticker if it has a motor and you’re on public water. You probably don’t need any of that on a private pond.

Thank you sir! This boat is a 1959 model. It’s hard to say how long it’s sat.
This makes me want to pick up a new hobby!
Good looking boat!!
Great job, looks like a new boat !
Thank you!
Wow, that boat turned out awesome 👌
Thank you!
Great vid Luke and Good luck fishing
Very nice job!
Go get em hahaha the John boat looks brand new good job dude👍😁
Thank you!
Great job man!
Thanks!
Looks good brother. I just bought a used 12 footer. Hope it comes out nice like yours! Cross my fingers....
It can for sure man! Just some elbow grease and gluvit is all any boat needs!
Great job on the restoration!
Thanks!
Nice job!
Thank you!
There’s just something bout a job boat.
Need a clip on that live well! Portable cooler live well? Brilliant
Thanks! I made a tutorial on assembling the live well on my page!
great job.... keep it up!!!!!
Thank you!
Wonder if spraying it down with acetone or paint stripper and pressure washing again would have a similar effect of sanding for surface prep
Awesome work! I’m buying an old 12 footer with a 5hp tomorrow. It’s pretty crusty and beat up and I’m hoping to make it look as nice as yours!
Thank you! Have fun with it!
👏👏👏
I think I have the same boat
Hope you bought it cheap. It’s amazing how much money a guy can sink a project. I’ve done one and now doing a second, sometimes your better paying more up front,have a better boat that commands a higher price. PS. I’m a cheesehead and cheap as the day is long.
I paid $100 for the boat. I believe have a little over $1,000 in the total project.
Great video! How much paint did you end up using for the whole boat? Trying to decide if I need more than a quart for 14x36.
Thanks! I probably used a little over half a gallon. I would definitely go ahead and buy the gallon.

@@kirkoutdoors8806 awesome, I think this is the route I'll plan on going.
I’m looking to paint my 12ft Jon boat the exact same way you did here. Did you wait any time between applying those two coats of alumahawk?
I did not wait long. Just a few minutes. It drys pretty quick.
Does the boat still leak after glove it or did it seal
It does not leak, but I don’t know if it did before the gluvit either. I bought, sealed it, and painted it before I put it on the water.
How well did the paint job hold up?
It’s holding up good!
How many hours did the sanding take?
I dedicated an entire weekend to sanding and the gluvit. Not sure exactly how many hours I spent, but probably 7-8. I’m sure I could have gotten by with spending less. I was trying to get most of the original paint off which was unnecessary.
What gun did you use to spray with?
Central Pneumatic 20 oz HVLP gravity fed from Harbor Freight.
HEY DOES ANYONE KNOW DO YOU NEED A BOAT LICENSE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE A JON BOAT ON A LAKE/POND.
In Kentucky, you don’t have to have a boating license if you have a driver’s license. You can get a boating license if you’re under 16. I do not know the minimum age. Your boat has to be registered and have a sticker if it has a motor and you’re on public water. You probably don’t need any of that on a private pond.
@@kirkoutdoors8806 OK THANK YOU
@@Ghost-ki5jo you’re welcome!
How long is your boat?
12 ft
Good video
Thanks!
