This will be a must watch. I vote for the two stroke. There's a ton of these on boats for sale here and would be nice to see what it takes to save one from going to the junk yard.
I picked up a ‘89-‘90 four winns Horizon 190 on a solid trailer! 260/V8 Mercruiser. The transom, engine mounts, haul are in excellent shape structurally, but the interior upholstery some of the floor boards and all the carpet will need to be replaced. So my first task after removing all the trashed areas and cleaning it up is to go through the motor and electrical system to make sure it will run. Then I hope to drop it in the water next spring and test drive it. If it’s sound then I’ll attack the miscellaneous gelcoat and fiberglass repairs, oxidation issues on the haul, then last redo the upholstery. Your videos are giving me the confidence on taking on this project!!! Thanks for all you do!!!
Your channel is definitely one of the best goto boat repair info shows on TH-cam. You asked us what we'd like to see done with this project boat and I'd like to vote for concentrating on the boat structural fix issues. Over the winter I'm planning on rebuilding an 1990 16ft bow rider which has a couple of soft spots in the floor. So, floor repair, stringers replacement and possibly transom replacement are of great interest to me and possibly many others. Of course it's probably going to take me a bit to build up enough courage just to start cutting things open. 😅 Greetings from Finland 😊
Capt Joe Fish bump family This is exactly what kind of boat I believe the majority of people are fixing to show all the in's& outs restoring something like this look forward to seeing what kind of plans y'all are thinking about I would like to see the old 2 stroke back up and running with new paint and decals, there are so many boats sitting around that just need some TLC this can help so much for the Diyers, Thanks y'all!
Thank you for replying, says a lot about you and your team. On another note. Was wondering if you could maybe do a video on how to do some gel coat webbing. I did it on my boat and it came out decent wants to see your take on it, gun set up, high/low psi for diff patters. Thanks again for all your content, it’s freaking awesome!!
I am always excited to watch your videos. I am starting 1990 Sea Ray 200 with a 305 and alpha one restoration project. Trust me, I am paying close attention, especially to the fiberglass issues. I wish I could talk with you for advise when it comes time.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying the videos! The Sea Ray sounds like a great project boat! We have recently started offering one on one consulting through Patreon. We should have a link to that feature below our videos description. I hope that helps and best of luck with your project!
I as well am remodeling a 1983 16’champion with a v-6 150hp somebody gelled over the factory black and blue flake . But my boat seems to resemble yours
Old school 2 stroke is the way to go... love my 2 stroke Johnson fast strike 150hp.... bought it new in 1995 with my Lund ProV deluxe and a 15hp kicker... love this boat.
Praise the lord. About to do a transom floor rebuild on an old Kenner. Already learned a bunch about fiberglass from your channel. Gonna help me out a bunch.
I vote for the two-stroke. Really miss fishing with the lower HP outboards in outpost fly-in camps. They were lighter and just easier to handle. And as far as stock or modify … my vote is modify for today’s best fishing configuration.
Glad you are looking forward to our boats restoration! I Hope there will be some useful info that will help you with your own project boat! Thanks for watching and commenting
We will be back on the project boat soon, but I have got to get this hardtop built for our charter boat first. The summer sun is brutal on an open boat like our 29. Hope you understand. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your videos! I know how much time it takes to film while you work!!! I to am in the business as you are kinda. I buy used Cobalt run about boats and repair any mechanical issues and totally do all my upholstery work myself. I also have replaced some transom’s with tear out of old wood and laminated new back in. Also did one in a bass boat using the pour in liquid composite transom. Both worked well and took lots of time. I visit in the Fort Morgan area about every year. If it ever worked out when I was down there to stop by your shop, it would be great to meet you. But I don’t want to interrupt your day and definitely don’t want to intrude. Thanks again.
This looks interesting for sure !! I'm a fan of the old school 2 strokes and would like you to stay with the motor on the boat if it's cost effective to keep, but if you can't using what you have just makes the most sense !!
I love that you are doing this Project Boat series. I have a 14.5' Tri Hull that I got from a neighbor that is like a Whaler that was built in the Fort Meyers area. The Keel had a big hole in it that I patched, The transom was completely rotten, I have poured a sea cast to repair the transom, and the floor has been previously removed and has been removed again. The Stringers seem solid. I have a 70HP yamaha 2 Stroke that I picked up from another neighbor that compression tests good and seems to run strong. I have been working on it for way to long and Hurricane Ian set me back at least 1.5 years so I'm ready to get this done. Id be happy to share some pics and take any advise you might be willing to provide.Also had to rebuild the trailer completely.
Wow, sounds like you have already done a lot of work! Those 70 hp yamahas are great little motors, you should be happy with it. Glad you are enjoying the channel and I hope some of what we are doing will help you take it to the finish line!
Good project boat. Maybe a little too rough for most of us out here but we’ve probably faced some part of your project at one time or other. I’d go for the 4 stroke. Doesn’t seem to make sense doing all that work and go backwards with the 2 stroke. When I do a console that looks like yours I order 1/4 inch black plastic panels cut to fit and with corner radius to screw down over the flat areas that have all the holes from previous mounting holes. You can then put in new instrument or switch holes. Saves a lot of filling and fairing trying to fill old holes or shapes. Good source for black panels is Boat Outfitters in FL.
Yes, it is pretty rough, but I figured it would cover a lot of topics. I agree, boat outfitters is a good company to sources parts and supplies from. I might do the panel overlay on the console, thanks for the suggestion!
I suggest a casting deck forward in the bow with a nice storage compartment beneath. I’m super interested in making a mold to recreate a part (hatch possibly). I enjoy your style of teaching. You clearly discuss the subject and follow it with great visual example. Do you think a 6 inch wide stripe of dayglow orange down the keel would be hard to add. As a prior coastie, I know it would help from above. 👍
Thanks for your suggestions and thanks for watching! I hope to never flip her, but the orange stripe is a great idea for visibility in case it ever happened!
Definitely looking forward to following this hull refurb (vs fresh build). Just finishing my transom and bracket restoration and my next step is putting the aft floors back together and then tackling some soft spots in front floor. I have a good feeling I could gain some good lessons watching how you do this. I really don't have a motor vote. I like two strokes, but I'm usually good with all motors and I came here for the hull project. Thanks Joe!!
Thank you Capt. Joe! What a great project boat!! I'm sure by the time you have finished this project, your followers will be confident in tackling any project boat. You are not only teaching useful skills, you're also getting boats like this back on the water, and keeping them out of the landfill.
+1 vote for the old 2 SMOKER. My 1995 Evinrude 90cv just ate a ring and already had ring damage on 2 other cylinders so I finally bit the bullet and pulled the motor. I found a 1980 Evinrude 140cv on Facebook Marketplace. Went and pulled it for a really dirt cheap price. I miked the cylinders, they were surprisingly good. Honed and rebuilt with new pistons and rings. I reused my 1995 electronics and dressup parts to essentially make this 1980 140cv a 1995 Evinrude 115cv. The Evinrude Crossflow (CV) motors were all the same 100ci displacement from 1979-1998. No matter the designation, IE 85, 90, 112, 115, 140...
Really looking forward to this restoration, so much so that you have a new subscriber! I vote for fixing up the 2 cycle and replacing the casting deck! Looking to have a similar project soon
Floor issues? Ha- What floor?!? This one is gonna be great, Joe. Making popcorn and waiting eagerly for the next episode. Count my vote for a resto with the original two stroke- nothing beats the smell of a oil/gas cloud first thing in the morning.
As someone who is running one of the last great 2 strokes, get a 4 stroke. The noise and smell becomes intollerable. There are so many idle zones now and so many times and places to go slow, and you know, that's the 4 stroke's domain. Brapping and smoking does not enhance your chill when you are cruising around.
Cool. I think this will be a good series to follow. I vote for fixing up the old Yamaha. It would give everyone an idea of what is involved in getting an old engine going again. I feel it would fit the purpose of this project which is buying an old boat to restore. Most people won't have an extra engine laying around.
Can't wait to see what happens but definitely like to see u replace the stringers and transom but also like to see fixing the gelcoat on a old boat like that and see what problems u run into fixing it back up. But excited to see what comes next definitely But u help alot ppl out here and we appreciate ur videos and effort and definitely the explaining of how to do it.
This is gonna be so good i can't wait! Personally I would love to see you build a full transom and a small bracket but ill be watching regardless. Thank you!
This is going to be absolutely fundamental for helping me through the rebuild of my shoalwater. Maybe you could go into detail with how you would rebuild the stringers. Mine are foam filled with no wood or structural composite. Just foam and fiberglass. Trying to decide how I want to go about rebuilding them. I’ll follow your lead if you show that!
And if this kind of series takes off you should consider taking in viewers boats to rebuild! I dont know how much money you make off the channel, or if it would be worth it for you to have people cover all material costs and you make money to cover your labor. Both sides could benefit… 👍🏼👍🏼
We have a 140hp Johnson V4. Has been completely rebuilt. Love the engine but it's a bit too heavy, 2 stroke smokey and tbh a bit too powerful, so we'll swap out for about a 100hp 4 stroke.
Awesome !!! Yes I'm gonna love watching how this project turns out !... maybe the 200hp zuke would be a good option. .. the 2 stroke is also cool lol .. the 2 stroke would probably be easier and cheaper to get running .. but idk.
This is awesome. Can wait to see all the work you will be doing to this rig. Keep up the good work. Many people like us out there wanting this kind out content. Thank you for all that you do !
Another vote for saving that old two-stroke!! Great opportunity to show people how to battle corrosion issues broken bolts etc. (hopefully not too many). I am a huge fan of factory restorations. Maybe with a few slight modifications. Would love to see that old boat rebuilt with Coosa board
@@FishBumpTV not sure if you do any painting in your shop but I think you would get a lot of great feedback from a cowling restoration series. Bodywork repainting clearcoat decals etc.
2 Stroke has my Vote, and I just got a 2001 Kenner Pro Skiff 15 V nose with the tunnel hull. Has a 2004 Merc 2 stroke 25hp motor. I have found your channel a couple weeks ago and you are amazing at your craft sir. both in the boat world and teach us threw youtube. Supper excited for this new project. my project needs the stringers and floors done. Since finding your channel i now have the confidence to start it and give this boat a 2nd chance on the waters. Sound hull, and transom, bad floors and stringers.
Sounds like you have a great project boat and I am a big fan of anything Kenner made! Thanks for watching and your support of the channel is much appreciated!
Looking forward to this boat you have, I am working on my 72 Mako 20 and following closely. My boat sat in a yard for most of its life it was only registered 2 years and the owner passed away. The transom is warped a bit and the deck has issues from sun.
@@FishBumpTV Tore out the floor, fuel tank and the floor storage compartments. Only water i found in the foam was a leak at the bow floor storage drain. Amazing to see a boat this old with no water stained foam at all. But the inside hull has the worst looking glass job Ive ever seen. Is this normal?
Would like to see you replace the transom and and stringers,materials used and how “you” bed the stringers; also how you troubleshoot the engine to see if it’s worth saving and maybe a modern design deck
I like the 2 stroke. Have the same motor on a 20ft sailfish. It is a tough motor. If you do use it, I found a Stroud's marine in Greenville NC as a source for used parts with really good prices
Looking forward for this project 🔥 for power I’m leaning towards the zuke 200 that’s a proven work horse plenty of torque & power I think it’ll bring a better resale as well, just my .02 👍looking forward to it I’m about ready to dive into a 1972 mako 19’ my dad had
Great channel Joe! Would love to see the Mold build process! Materials, technique, resins etc. Do you prefer epoxy for the mold? Do molds last long? Thx! Keep up the great work.
J. Looking forward to this project. That said build it to your specs. As for the motor, She had her day. If you have something newer in mind I feel that would tie the bow. As always, will be watching.
I say you get rid of that 2 stroke. Part it out and put the money to another working 2 stoke or towards the Suzuki. I’m excited to see what I think should be a full redo. Take it back to OG because I see some work you may have to cover that you never have 🤷♂️ If you do go OG, I’d really be excited to see stinger, foam and transom work (liquid, coosa or wood) Ether way can’t wait.
Great videos Joe ! Have learned a lot 🤙 Been working on my Anderson boat which I help build in 1990 at Anderson Custom Boats in Santa Barbara. I added a 2 ft extension. Iam at the final finish coat of Fiberglass Hawaii black gelcoat. I mixed 8 oz of gelcoat with a cap full of styrene wax and 90 drops of Mek. Still alittle tacky after 15 hrs but just prints not coming off on finger ! I live on North shore Kauai now so use to amount of hardener we need . Any thoughts? Aloha Rick 🤙
I have a 1963 glasspar citation 16 foot boat project what is the best way to bond the floor to the stringers ? It was made with hollow fiberglass stringers that are in perfect condition
When it’s time, I’de like to hear your thoughts on the deck grip paint “Kiwi grip” I’ve used it and thinks it’s great. But you see more products than I do. And 2 stroke for sure
Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, I work on them mostly for myself and usually nothing major. I do have a friend that has an outboard repair business that we may bring in as a guest on the channel.
Yes, it is a pretty major project! We have had lots of requests for floor, transom and stringer repairs, and this boat covers all those bases! I hope it's helpful and I appreciate you watching!
@@FishBumpTV Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, silica is terrible for the lungs. Will definitely be wearing a mask or respirator. Thank you for the advise.
Hey man love the new project love your content! Is the engine for sale? I have some questions i'd love to ask you. Can i have a email where i can contact you privately? Much love from the Caribbean bro, blessings!
Thanks so much! Once we decide which motor to run, the 150 yamaha or the 200 Suzuki will be for sale. I can be reached through our patreon account if you would like. I appreciate you watching
Drop the 2 stroke and go with the four stroke.. finish the boat the way you want with new twist you learned from building your last boat.. I’ll be watching either way you build it..

This is very exciting indeed, I cannot wait to watch every moment of this restoration! 😀😀👏👏

Ok ! Needs everything ! Great! You are a teacher ! What a tremendous project to teach us everything ! It needs some big love !
Wow, thanks so much!
I am waiting patietly for some more videos in this series. Currently working on a 15' Riviera Skiff. Love your work.
We will be back on the project boat soon, but I have got to get this hardtop built for our charter boat first. The summer sun is brutal on an open boat like our 29. Hope you understand. Thanks for watching!

As someone who is running one of the last great 2 strokes, get a 4 stroke. The noise and smell becomes intollerable. There are so many idle zones now and so many times and places to go slow, and you know, that's the 4 stroke's domain. Brapping and smoking does not enhance your chill when you are cruising around.
Thanks for your thoughts! I have owned both, and can appreciate what you are saying!
That will be a great step by step project, lots of work there...wowie
Yes Sir! It's going to be nice when we get her put back together. Thanks for watching!
Captain Joe- We can’t wait to see you bring her back to life! This rebuild will be great to watch from our home here in SETX on the Gulf Coast!!!!
Be a great series to view,thanks for sharing.
More to come! I have to finish out hardtop build, then back to work on the project boat. Thanks for watching!
@FishBumpTV I am in the process of rebuilding 2 bassboats so I am definitely interested in your rebuild.

Great project! Can’t wait
Thanks! It going to be a good one!
Omg 😂 good luck capt joe, looking foward to the all the diy in the future
Haha, thanks!
Can't wait to see what happens but definitely like to see u replace the stringers and transom but also like to see fixing the gelcoat on a old boat like that and see what problems u run into fixing it back up. But excited to see what comes next definitely But u help alot ppl out here and we appreciate ur videos and effort and definitely the explaining of how to do it.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions on the project boat! I am glad the videos are helpful and I appreciate your comment!
This is gonna be so good i can't wait! Personally I would love to see you build a full transom and a small bracket but ill be watching regardless. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Looking forward to watching the restoration project! Your knowledge , experience and the way you explain the process is priceless!
Awesome, thank you!
Will definitely follow this project. My vote is on the 2 stroke.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you watching and supporting what we are doing here on the channel!
I just did a 22ft blazer bay 2001. I’ll have to send ya some pictures. Excited to see this project
Very cool! Thank you for watching!
Another vote for saving that old two-stroke!! Great opportunity to show people how to battle corrosion issues broken bolts etc. (hopefully not too many). I am a huge fan of factory restorations. Maybe with a few slight modifications. Would love to see that old boat rebuilt with Coosa board
Thanks for your vote and thanks for watching!
@@FishBumpTV not sure if you do any painting in your shop but I think you would get a lot of great feedback from a cowling restoration series. Bodywork repainting clearcoat decals etc.
Awesome channel love the content you are the bob vila of boats!
Haha, wow! Thanks so much!
2 Stroke has my Vote, and I just got a 2001 Kenner Pro Skiff 15 V nose with the tunnel hull. Has a 2004 Merc 2 stroke 25hp motor. I have found your channel a couple weeks ago and you are amazing at your craft sir. both in the boat world and teach us threw youtube. Supper excited for this new project. my project needs the stringers and floors done. Since finding your channel i now have the confidence to start it and give this boat a 2nd chance on the waters. Sound hull, and transom, bad floors and stringers.
Sounds like you have a great project boat and I am a big fan of anything Kenner made! Thanks for watching and your support of the channel is much appreciated!
I'd like to see how to revamp/redo the console. That 2stroke shouldn't be too bad to get up and running either
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Excited to see this play out.
I appreciate you watching!
Looking forward to this boat you have, I am working on my 72 Mako 20 and following closely. My boat sat in a yard for most of its life it was only registered 2 years and the owner passed away. The transom is warped a bit and the deck has issues from sun.
Thanks for watching and best of luck with your project!
@@FishBumpTV Tore out the floor, fuel tank and the floor storage compartments. Only water i found in the foam was a leak at the bow floor storage drain. Amazing to see a boat this old with no water stained foam at all. But the inside hull has the worst looking glass job Ive ever seen. Is this normal?
Would like to see you replace the transom and and stringers,materials used and how “you” bed the stringers; also how you troubleshoot the engine to see if it’s worth saving and maybe a modern design deck
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!
I like the 2 stroke. Have the same motor on a 20ft sailfish. It is a tough motor. If you do use it, I found a Stroud's marine in Greenville NC as a source for used parts with really good prices
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching! I really appreciate it
Looking forward to this rebuild. I'm "Old School" but fixing the Suzuki would be good for the boat and resale value.
Ahh, I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions!
Looking forward to seeing the rebuild. Go for a retro styling and spruce up the 2 stroke 👍
Thanks for your suggestions!
Looking forward for this project 🔥 for power I’m leaning towards the zuke 200 that’s a proven work horse plenty of torque & power I think it’ll bring a better resale as well, just my .02 👍looking forward to it I’m about ready to dive into a 1972 mako 19’ my dad had
Thanks for watching, and best of luck with your Mako!
Great channel Joe! Would love to see the Mold build process! Materials, technique, resins etc. Do you prefer epoxy for the mold? Do molds last long? Thx! Keep up the great work.
Glad you are enjoying the channel! We are working on a hardtop plug and mold for our 29 right now, so stay tuned!
I'm looking forward to watching the rebuild
Thanks for watching!
J. Looking forward to this project.
That said build it to your specs. As for the motor, She had her day. If you have something newer in mind I feel that would tie the bow.
As always, will be watching.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Can’t wait to see progress on this project.
I vote for 4 strikes. Great engine with low fuel consumption
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
I say you get rid of that 2 stroke. Part it out and put the money to another working 2 stoke or towards the Suzuki.
I’m excited to see what I think should be a full redo. Take it back to OG because I see some work you may have to cover that you never have 🤷♂️
If you do go OG, I’d really be excited to see stinger, foam and transom work (liquid, coosa or wood)
Ether way can’t wait.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions! I am excited to see how it turns out!
I really like those hauls . I have an 18 ft kenner but I've always wanted a 21
Yes, l really like the Kenner designed hulls also! Thanks for watching!
Could you show us how to build a flooding keel and or a fibreglass fuel tank .just some ideas thanks
She's a beauty -- would love to see her restored to factory specs, even with the old motor
Cool, thanks for your thoughts!
Looking forward to watching the progress. Sell the 2 stroke and putt the 200 on it
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Can’t wait to see the project in progress. How about putting a bracket on it?
Thanks for the suggestion!
This looks like a perfect project for your channel it will be entertaining and educational. That existing motor is obsolete and toast.😎
Thank you very much!
Great videos Joe ! Have learned a lot 🤙 Been working on my Anderson boat which I help build in 1990 at Anderson Custom Boats in Santa Barbara. I added a 2 ft extension. Iam at the final finish coat of Fiberglass Hawaii black gelcoat. I mixed 8 oz of gelcoat with a cap full of styrene wax and 90 drops of Mek. Still alittle tacky after 15 hrs but just prints not coming off on finger ! I live on North shore Kauai now so use to amount of hardener we need . Any thoughts? Aloha Rick 🤙
Keep the old school 2 stroke, I'm working on an old chrysler 35 hp 2 stroke. I'd like to get some tips! Thank you
Right on! Thanks for the suggestion!
Awesome! I’m looking forward to this! 👌😃
Thanks!
I have a 1963 glasspar citation 16 foot boat project what is the best way to bond the floor to the stringers ? It was made with hollow fiberglass stringers that are in perfect condition
When it’s time, I’de like to hear your thoughts on the deck grip paint “Kiwi grip” I’ve used it and thinks it’s great. But you see more products than I do.
And 2 stroke for sure
Could you please show how to do stinger and transom replacement please
Yes, we will be doing that once we get back to work on our project Blazer. So stay tuned, and thanks for watching!
I would like to see the 2 stroke fixed up. Do you work on motors too?
Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, I work on them mostly for myself and usually nothing major. I do have a friend that has an outboard repair business that we may bring in as a guest on the channel.
That boat is nearly a full build boat .
Yes, it is a pretty major project! We have had lots of requests for floor, transom and stringer repairs, and this boat covers all those bases! I hope it's helpful and I appreciate you watching!
What a school it will be?
Tout un apprentissage ce sera !
Thanks so much!
This is going to be good. We won't even recognize that boat when you're done Joe. It will look brand new.😂
Thanks so much!
You better be really good with heli-coils if you want to use that Yamaha. Got a closet full of those tee shirts.
Good project boat, let's have some fun! Rebuild it light and slap the 200 on it.
Haha, I like it!
Looking forward for sure. Nothing like a " how to do it " from someone who knows how to do it.
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Voting for the 2 stroke because more 2stroke owners need to work on their motors personally.
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Can you stretch it out, add chimes, hydrofoils and stuff like that.
You could, but that would be a lot of work.maybe, we will see!
Hello when you gonna start releasing the videos we're waiting we definitely wanna see the tear down and rebuild
Coming soon, thanks for watching!
I'd Go with The Suzuki. 2 cyl. is a thing of the past, and stink pots..😆 Easier to sell and maximize your proffit.
Thanks for your vote! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Can 406 colloidal silica be used to thicken gel coat with or without wax
Yes, just be sure to wear a mask when working with silica. Thank for watching!
@@FishBumpTV
Thank you for the quick reply.
Yes, silica is terrible for the lungs.
Will definitely be wearing a mask or respirator. Thank you for the advise.
@@FishBumpTV oh my goodness 😳
Just received my order of 406 colloidal silica 5.5oz. I had no idea it would be such a large can, lol
We wanna see you restore the two stroke so we can figure out the things to look for wrong with them to get them running again
Thanks for the suggestion!
Do you have the courage to take on this job?... is it worth the effort?
Oh yeah, we got this! Thanks for watching!
Hey man love the new project love your content! Is the engine for sale? I have some questions i'd love to ask you. Can i have a email where i can contact you privately? Much love from the Caribbean bro, blessings!
Thanks so much! Once we decide which motor to run, the 150 yamaha or the 200 Suzuki will be for sale. I can be reached through our patreon account if you would like. I appreciate you watching
200 suzuki all day long over 2 stroke carb
I gotcha! Thanks for the suggestion
Drop the 2 stroke and go with the four stroke.. finish the boat the way you want with new twist you learned from building your last boat.. I’ll be watching either way you build it..
Thanks for your thoughts and thanks for watching!
as a viewer I would be interested in buying a boat you restored
Very cool! Let me know if you are still interested as we get closer to completion. Thanks for watching!
brilliant captain nice project
My vote would be electric Panda do a nice pod check it out that is what I am going to use on my project boat.
Thanks for the vote and thanks for watching!
You should fix it up and give it away, $5 spent in your Merch shop gets you one entry into the boat,
Ahh, interesting! Thanks for watching!
