I did a full resto on a 21' 1973 Tom Sawyer Deep V with a V8 When I was done I had the boat that was big enough you could fit my friends boats inside mine, yet it still does 52 mph. Or will pull two skiers with the "tug boat prop". If you ever question wether it was "worth it"...just let me know and I'll send you a invoice for $596.22 a month for 60 months (and that would only get you a cheaply built newish boat). It is worth it! Nice job.
That’s awesome! I painted our houseboat with white and blue Rustoleum and it held up for 10 years at the lake. People like to hate on the Rustoleum but it holds up good.
I used that Total Boat Wetedge Topside paint on my houseboat restoration I've been working on. For the price it is extremely difficult to apply. As you said it does not lay down like it should.
The original 1974 aluminum railings had a bit of corrosion where they were installed into the stainless fittings, but it wasn't too bad. I know most people say to keep aluminum and stainless away from each other especially in salt water, but it might not be as bad since we are in fresh water out here.
Total Boat Topside paint. I don’t know if I would recommend it or not. It was a pain to roll on because you have to do so many super thin coats. I might just not have been thinning the paint the right way. After it’s done it seems pretty durable compared to old Rustoleum cheapo paint jobs I’ve done on my older boats.
I would have bought a roll on gelcoat instead of paint. Way better results, more durable, buffable and waxable. Not a ton more work, but it is a lot more messy and a lot more stinky.
If there's anything DIY videos have taught me, its that investing in the right tools will save you lots of money in the long run.
What tools would you have invested in for this particular job for example?
Hasil kerja yang begitu bagus sekali,, kapalnya cantik ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
This is awesome. I’m new to your channel and I want to do this to an old bass boat.
Nice engineering. Love it
Thank you very much!

That’s awesome on the ‘73 Tom Sawyer! Getting rarer seeing older boats out on the lakes.
I painted my boat with yellow Rustoleum implement paint. Outstanding coverage. Really inexpensive too.

Bust Out Another Thousand, boat is an acronym.

Glad it wasn't just me, thanks for the feedback!
There are thinners made just for rolling and brushing. There is a different thinner for spraying.
Your paint may have been too thick.
its alright to do when you have all the right equipment to do it
great video. question: when you have stainless coupled up with aluminum like on your railing, does it react over time and corrode?

@Motiv8Labs can you ground the conductive materials all to an anode?
hey what kind of paint are u using to paint the boat?

Almost nobody who owns shoreline, owns a wake boat
I am sure you can sand the windows frames to make them look nice. Budget is blown lol
I have never once in my life seen someone paint a boat using rollers and brushes. Then he asked “what am I doing wrong?” 😂😂 Bruh
Fair point
