@@AdamRyanA Frogs have large pupils 😉 I’m looking to do a 1232. How skinny does something like this get with all the goodies loaded up? I’d love to upgrade from a kayak to the smallest Jon boat with similar build.
Amazing build, and the way you fabricated the deck to the existing well used boat shape was awesome. Top quality finish. That’s one expensive Jon boat!!
this just tells me to never start with a bare john if u want a bass boat.. just get a older bass boat, slap some paint on, done.. i got a john myself but just use it as is... can leave it outside all year no worries..
The fit and finish on the sheet metal by itself is amazing guys!!! My god you guys have got to fabricate or something of the sort for a living!! And the amount of time that went into welding measuring and coming up with what goes where on that one top piece is insane!! Nice work guys
Well done. Guys… only love of boats could drive a project like this. Great build. Classic power. No tricks needed. Just a bit of oil in the gas and a pull on the rope
Team work is amaizing, idea is great, timelaps speed is only for smart and sober (the rest of us go crazy after 5min), if you all make your living of that - i hope you sold it for 100k (as otherwise you are making $5/hr with all that effort). Very nice and entertaining! Thanks a bunch!
Wow!! Phenomenal job. This boat FOR SURE is finished much much better than some $20-30k big name bass boats I can assure you. That's what's depressing is looking at new show room boats and seeing all the cut corners and cheap materials. I would buy today if whoever owns this wants to sell it. And I'm serious!!
I did that to my 8foot jon boat when I was a kid like 35 years ago o I did it out of plywood so it was probably a little heavier than that one but mine did ok in calm waters but in rough waters it was a little bit of a problem. Lol but I keep it like that for a long time. It was great for bass fishing in small lakes. You did nice work good job.
Badass build guys! I got a 22’ StarCraft I’m dreading on getting started, I got it stripped down to barebones, but now I’m not sure how I want to go about puttin it back together. Thanks for this video I’ll be following
Ok, so my Dad past away years. Defiantly my greatest hero. He was a mans dad if ya know what I mean. Don't have nothing from my dad but a few photos. 1 day at my moms, helping in her yard I tipped over a tarp and here lies this same boat. Was my dads dream to fix this boat but he always poured money into us. So here lies my journey this time to fix this boat, I know he will be here fixing it with me!!!! Now to save some dam money!!! 4 kids are draining, same battle, but I will over come!!!
Thought I recognized the logo! PB Lodge is a killer looking place! I’m a chickamauga local and can’t wait to stay there. Give Blue Water a run for there money!
U mean to tell me I waited 18 minutes to watch y’all put that out dated antique power plant on that masterpiece??? It deserves a 4 stroke jet drive 40-50 hp with stick steering!!!! In my opinion u could’ve bought a new bass boat for the parts and labor y’all spent, anyway great build
If the motor runs good…..I’d slap that bad boy on there! If it were my boat, I would have gave it a new paint job and new decals but it’s not my boat….. good build though!
If you were planning on going through all that work on a job boat, why not add aluminum to the all around and make the sides taller to make it deeper? You'd fit more and add to the weight capacity
This boat can easily handle the weight we added to it, the foam is just to level out the floor, fill any gaps so water can’t, and keep the boat from sinking to the bottom of the lake
Dam bro. Even at double the speed your camera skills are epic. Thanks for documenting the whole build. That a legit production level boat. With all the talent in that room you guys could merge into your own boat building business and blow up TBN / NCB / FewMan / PCB / Fireant / JDS / AR to a Nationwide brand. Even if you don't want to build boats for a living you could be the quality control fishing / videography man. Just saying the future is bright.
I'm inspired by this project for sure but the editing style on this video is gonna give me a seizure lol. We don't need to see every rivet go in. If you feel like we'd have lost something here by NOT seeing every one I'd say I would rather see it a 30 minute video rather than speeding it all up to fit into an 18 min one. There's just so much movement lol but I don't wanna just come off as negative. This is a really great project. I'm super impressed by the skills you guys have.
Man O' man what a build ! I see where ya started & I see 4-5 men working their arse's off but I can't put a realistic price on the labor -n- materials in doing all of this? I know it's not cheap but neither are new bass boats but who knows? Perhaps I'll get an idea ? peace
I am starting a rebuild on a 18’ Smoker Craft aluminum deep V hull. I liked watching your video , although I know my boat isn’t going to be as nice as the boat y’all produced . I would like to see some pictures of your layout with everything labeled .
@@AdamRyanA you do builds for customers? Also i didnt see any way for the subfloor to drain...whats stopping water from soaking all that foam as it drains off the deck?
If a customer drops off their boat in my yard and a lot of money I’ll build for customers but other then that no I don’t build for customers, and the floor has a slight flex in it when I put all my weight on it and that is how I get the water out of that area, and the foam doesn’t soak in Any water
Turned out amazing. Would love to see a cost breakdown. Jon Boat Materials Labor My guess the final costs would be jaw dropping. Imagine one day this beautiful boat will be in someone's backyard under a tarp and some TH-camr lol will turn it back into a Jon Boat. 😆
@@AdamRyanA thanks for the ballpark number,,,, most (everyone else??) would never do that. It’s not unreasonable and the end prod is worth it really. You would never get a factory made boat of similar build/quality for double that! AND they have the economies of scale in buying bulk products! If you had Nate build the actual hull as well, I’m sure it would get close to the $16K mark, but I really thing a manufactured boat built by a factory would run $20K - $22K as outfitted. If you have fun doing it,,,, have at it!! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Bro, what kind of pop rivet and rivets do I need to go through my aluminum boat. I’m only putting a couple things on the boat. Anchor cleat and a electric switch?
I was talking about fixing up my old aluminum boat at work earlier today and guess what pops up, a bunch of great videos about fixing up aluminum boats. Guess the youtube is spying on my private conversations.
Impressive work y’all!! Did you cast the new braces yourselves!? And I understand this is a sped up version of the whole project but honestly it is too fast with too much camera movement.. kinda can’t watch it without getting dizzy 🥴
Absolutely BEST time-lapse I've ever seen. It's like a dance that only few understand. Well done gentlemen... Well done.

Like boat fairies hahaha if you leave your boat under your pillow they will come at night and fix it up hahahaha
We’re on our way lol

Cracking job boys. Great to see a bunch of mates working hard at such an awesome project
It was a fun project to do!

Not sure if y'all or Friends or a shop , but to have more then one person help is a blessing. Nice build
It definitely is a blessing
That's a lot of work, you guys are super skilled

Thank you Bill! 🤙
Gosh I remember re-doing my old boat. Those cam latches are so over priced I still get pissed off thinking about it! Great build!
When I was a kid, a Jon boat WAS a bass boat, until Rangers , etc came out, and honestly, I wasn't blown away by the change.
I’m trying to be more positive with my comments. Awesome job guys!!
Clean af! Definitely one of the best builds!
Thank you Bruno! 🤙
Overwhelmed, awesome, all I can say is, Craftsmen, the best!!!!, That's a 20,000 John boat
Great build guys! I love it.
That was some awesome sheet metal work! Great job!!!
Seems quite a good video at half speed. 😂
Where’s the beers? Looks like a mates, weekend workshop 🤣
Who needs respirators when you have 4 guys blasting spray cans and one dude holding a box fan above his head?? 🤣
Amazing build!!!!!! Love it yall do amazing work keep it up!tight lines brothas🎣👊😎
Dang! The amount of crew working on this build! Sheesh! Lol
Amazing team work!! I would use this boat before a heavy fiberglass bass boat!! 🤘🏼
Thank you Michael! 🤙
@@AdamRyanA Your welcome that turned out really nice.. Have any of you used the boat lately.

Awesome process Good job watching from philippines
Thank you for watching Bags! 🤙
This is dope! Man if I had that Jon boat I’d probably get divorced because I’d be out fishing on it all the time 😂
I don’t see a problem there at all lol
@@AdamRyanA LOL my wallet would thank me too 😂
That's one awesome boat guys great work I wish you guys can restore my little Jon boat
Thank you Oscar! And we’re on our way lol
This is a very cool video of the build!
How does a build like this consider the max weight for the boat?
Wow! I don’t even fish but that was impressive. Great build 😎
Excellent teamwork
Very nice. I have a 20' john boat that i have am considering doing this to.
All I can really say is WOW!
U mean to tell me I waited 18 minutes to watch y’all put that out dated antique power plant on that masterpiece??? It deserves a 4 stroke jet drive 40-50 hp with stick steering!!!! In my opinion u could’ve bought a new bass boat for the parts and labor y’all spent, anyway great build
Lol that’s what the customer wanted us to do, and maybe a rundown used bass boat, but definitely not new
Lmao. What bass boat are you buying? Thus probably cost a couple grand a bass boat is like 50k or more
@@91Bronco Your high 50k
If the motor runs good…..I’d slap that bad boy on there! If it were my boat, I would have gave it a new paint job and new decals but it’s not my boat….. good build though!
Hey ik I’m very late but can I buy a boat off you guys
So cool to watch! I suppose this is just for a video but for the amount of guys working I don’t see how this could be economical…
Sick work Gents 🫡
Really nice!! But I’d forget which hatch I put my beer under.
Lol
If you were planning on going through all that work on a job boat, why not add aluminum to the all around and make the sides taller to make it deeper? You'd fit more and add to the weight capacity
That was amazing keep up the good work fellas
Shoulda built the whole boat from scratch 😆😆😆😆😆 nice work
Great build! What gauge aluminum was used on floor and deck surfaces?
Unbelievable...greetings from Germany👍🏻
Thank you Bobo! 🤙
Wow is all i can say, it looks amazing.
That looks better then factor. Nice job
Thank you Michael! 🤙
Unbelievable 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽, best in the game !
Thank you Sabastian! 🤙
Speechless. Great job.
Did anything need to be done so the boat can handle the additional weight? Or was that what the foam panels in the beginning were for?
This boat can easily handle the weight we added to it, the foam is just to level out the floor, fill any gaps so water can’t, and keep the boat from sinking to the bottom of the lake
Awesome video. Great workmanship. What is the name of that thinker aluminum panel you used for the transom?
Hi, nice video where you bought the black storage lid, thanks for the info.

How many man hours are on this build looks great 👍
We worked on it for about 3 and a half days, not sure how many hours exactly
Hey Bro, what kind of pop rivet and rivets do I need to go through my aluminum boat. I’m only putting a couple things on the boat. Anchor cleat and a electric switch?
I would use 3/16 blind rivets, and the length of the rivet just depends how thick the material you’re going through is
Do you get a lot of rattling with all the rivets at speed?
Not at all
Where did you buy the ready-made deck lockers?
What did you use to replace the transom? What it prefabricated like that and something you can buy?
Yeah we used a premade welded transom from TBNation.net
Outstanding work.
Such a badass build 🤘
Nothing but impressive Thanks
Thank you Michael! 🤙
What kind of foam did you use under deck?
Would love to be able to have my 14 ft lowe v hull built. These boats are awesome.
Would love to know the thickness of sheet metal used and rough estimate of weighted added you think? Crazy job, well done gents !
Quality work gentlemen!
Awesome. Where did you get the transom lights at? Thanks
What is a preferred boat to start with? Lowe, G3 or? I appreciate your response.
Any boat brand will work, it just depends on how stable you want it, if I could pick a boat to restore, I would pick a 1648 personally
Okay. Thanks a ton. Lowe and G3 seem to be my only option locally. Just wanted to see if you had a preference suggestion.
Глаза чуть не отвалились от такого монтажа и скорости, а работа отличная
Wow, all hands on deck!
It’s the only way to finish a complete boat in 4 days lol
dope editing ✌

Ok awesome. Great skills, nice job. Now what was the cost? I think it would have been cheaper to just buy the boat made already.
Thanks for the great tips and video. Keep up the great work.
I was waiting to see you drop a 250 hp on that beauty.
If only the transoms on these older boats could hold a 250
