DIY Bass Boat Restoration: Flipping Boat Over To Repair Gel Coat | Part 4 - Triton TR-20 Build
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- Using an automotive rotisserie we've managed to get the hull upside down which is going to be so much better for me having to sand out all the osmosis blistering and stress cracking in the gel coat. Flipping a bass boat hull has a lot of interesting challenges compared to flipping a car, as there is nowhere to really grab on to the bow, other than the bow eye. The prep work to make sure the boat was safe to go over took 10x as long as actually flipping it, but was totally worth the effort. We've started to build a DIY spray booth for dust and overspray containment inside the shop and the next step is to get the air board out and start sanding the poor old 1999 Triton TR20 gel coat.
As per usual guys, drop a like and a comment and if you want to keep us motived to make more videos like this one, please subscribe, it's what keeps us going!
Cheers!

Must be nice to have friends..try by yourself
Many hands makes for light work ;)
I did auto restoration for decades and put cars on rotisserie's all the time but putting that that boat on one, made me nervous. lol Great job guy's!
Us too! glad we wern't alone in feeling that way! lol. Thanks!
Cool rotisserie device you built there to swing the boat onto the bottom. Takes me back to my days of repairing boats with my grandfather. He taught me everything I know about fibreglass/general composites work. Cant wait to see the next video and this thing ripping out on the water. Love the pod-like windsheild design.
Thanks for checking out the video! Wish you could come help us, lol.
That's some serious engineering......nice job!!!
Eh thanks!!
How do you only have 725 subs? Fantastic project and great video making ability, seems very genuine and I am looking forward to more.
Eh, everyone has to start from somewhere, right? Thank you for the kind words and for checking out the project!
Going to enjoy this, gotta 85' ranger given to me as a restoration project. Solid boat, just needs lotta love!!
It’s well worth it! Those older Rangers are awesome hulls.
That was absolutely awesome to watch...I have a feeling this is going to become a favorite channel...all the things I like. Boats, restorations, beer drinking, guy time, and definitely the fabrication of shit (let's see more of that) awesome job guys
Thankyou so much for the kind words and for the input, it’s difficult to shoot and edit the videos and figure out what people will want to see vs. what they would not, so it’s great to get some feedback! Thanks for watching and commenting, it’s truly keeps me motivated to keep making the videos, cheers!
Definitely I need one of those .🤔 how much if you make one for me. That is fkn. Great idea 💡 👍 👏 👌
They arn't too challenging or expensive to build, just gotta have the right tools!
Man keep the content coming. Just got a 99 tr-21 that needed some love! Thank god mine doesn’t have any blistering but the top cap, carpet & seats need love. This pumps me up to tackle mine myself! That’s one bad looking rig brother!
Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Excellent video guys.
Thanks!!
Keep up the good work. Be safe.
Thanks Bill, will do!
Just found your channel and subbed. Very impressed with the work you are doing and the quality of your videos!
Thanks Bill! It’s comments like yours that keep me putting the effort and time into making the videos.
Great video! I’ve been interested in restoring an older bass boat. My dad has an 06 ranger z21 that I think would make a great restoration. Keep up the good work, I’ll be following along with this.
Thanks Jay! Get going on the Ranger, will be well worth it!
U guys r freaking awesome! I have a 04 triton tr21x
Thanks for the kind words! Love those X hulls, badass boat.
beautiful boat i love my triton
They are the best!! What year is yours?
@@FishingOntario 2005
Wow nice thinking
Thanks!
Probably 3M 5200 adhesive on the thru hulls.
Total Boat adhesive remover softens it pretty good.
We will have to give that stuff a try! Thanks for the tip.
Hey guys...I just purchased a 2000 Triton tr20 that needs some work. Maybe I could hire you to restore it. Engines good and is currently off the boat. Great Job! Fun to watch.
We'll do anything for the right price ;)
@@FishingOntario Wasn't sure if you'd get my message. Thanks for the reply. I'm having a friend of mine, who knows more about this stuff than I do, take a look at the transom in the next week or so. It does have some spider cracks but still sounds solid when you tap it. Hulls in decent shape. Cracking in the gel coat in spots. Could use new carpet and old hoses and stuff replaced I'm sure. Maybe I could send you some pics and more of a diagnosis of transom once he takes a look. Is there a way to contact you outside of youtube? Thanks again.
@@midlandappraisals3674 yeah, absolutely! Hit me up at kyleholmes1@hotmail.ca
@@FishingOntario 🤙
Man we stay walking on the moon!
That we do!
Very impressive! That did i'm sure easy as it looked! Great job!
P.S. every time i heard the word Rotisserie i got more hungry. 😀
*was not as easy as it looked*
Thanks Tim! We actually were just talking this weekend about how much different it was in person versus actually being there and doing it, lol.
I have been eating a lot of rotisserie chicken ever since this rotisserie came into my life, must be subliminal messaging
WoW great works. What cause the blistering and the osmose you mentionned? I m new to fiberglass boat and I’m looking to buy a Tr 20 around year 2000 to 2003.
Water, believe it or not! From sitting on wet bunks too much. The water absorbs into the gelcoat and breaks it down.
@@FishingOntario Oh boy, yes I read on the subject and I couldn't beleive it. By the way realy nice boat you got
Thankyou my friend!
I have exact boat..79 mph..225 Mercury
Nice!! Hopefully ours will run that quick
Any content on re gel coating this one?
Got an update coming down the pipes shortly!
@@FishingOntario can’t wait to see it! About to re gel and flake my 202. Building a jig as well.
Where did you get the plans from to design/fabricate this?
We just borrowed the rotisserie from a friend, but there are lots of plans how to build them online!
@@FishingOntario ok, thanks.
In process of doing same to ae 21 hydrosream with 280 merc where did u get rotisserie I am getting 1 built thanks jimmybangon
Awesome man! That should be a ripper! We’re just borrowing the rotisserie from a friend for the project. Thanks for watching Jimmy!
Where in ontario are you guys located in? you guys do work for other people? i have the same boat and looking into services.
We’re in the London area. We haven’t yet done any “customer” work cause we’re always too busy fixing our own crap lol. What are you in need of?
@@FishingOntario basically just cosmetic stuff, gel coating and what not. wasn't sure if you guys did this for a job or anything.
@@patricklogan3678 get in touch, maybe it’s something we can help you out with - kyleholmes1@hotmail.ca
Lmao...that baot alreasy looks as good as mine...smh
It wasn't too bad cosmetically, but left unrepaired, the gel coat osmosis on the bottom of the hull would cause big problems.
