Thank you EVERYONE! I’m seriously overwhelmed with everyone’s positive , warm “welcome back” messages! I’ve missed creating/ sharing with you all and your awesome engagement! In the next week or so I am sharing a LOOONG special upload that will get into great detail with what I’ve been up to, working on, and where I’ve been! I look forward to sharing it with you all! Cheers!
What i really love about your videos is that within the first minute or so you tell us what it's about and you make it so interesting i want to keep watching....you're a natural story teller and that's rare. Plus you're so positive and upbeat it's contagious so that's awesome too.
lol. I think you’ll enjoy my upcoming vid where I share a bunch of things aside from boat building…. It’ll all come full circle! Cheers and thanks for hanging in there!
Smart. All the weight in the front so it planes out easy, big casting deck for clients…. Needs a push platform for fly fishing guiding experience, but other than that great build and using your brain to build the boat how it should be for that purpose. Great job my friends. Sorry forgot to add, you should build your boat to guide, even if you don’t guide, your boat is set up for that type of fishing and the ease of everyone.
Forest! Glad to see you’re not lost in the Bahamas! Great to see you’re back to put on yet another great show! Love your work and we’ve all missed you! Can’t wait for the BIG announcement!
Dude! You had me worried! I didn't know your last name so I was checking the obituaries in Florida for anyone named Forrest! Or a newspaper story saying " Florida man disappeared while crossing to the Bahamas! Glad you are back!
Oh man hahaha. I actually started the upload process around 8pm and it literally wasn’t finished until then 😅. I read your comment this morning and it cracked me up. Haha. Cheers!
Thanks Lance, I appreciate you 👊🏼:) I’ve got an upcoming video where I’ll share a bunch on all sorts of levels, projects, work , personal life , etc. it’ll , help to give a broader perspective to it all. Cheers bud!
A question coming from not knowing and learning; Why is there a need to put as much weight in the bow as possilbe? (fuel cell and trolling motor battery) It seems like that would make for a lot of weight and deeper bow draft after you add an angler on the front deck. Looking forward to watching the progess on this project.
Welcome That’s a cool classic skiff. I have have a shop I restore and build poling skiffs in the Boca Grande area. May I suggest in keeping with the original design of My Roberts keeping all the decks below the gunnel walks. That’s such a classic feature of the older flats skiffs. It helps keep everyone more centered and keeps your fly line in the boat. I recently built a temp mold for just the hatches with a 4” flange. That I then glassed into the flat foam deck panels and over the bulkhead. This had nice gutters and it drained under the lid. So no drain tubes and hoses needed. I would have loved to get my hands on this. Can you share a little more on how it came about and where it was found? These old skiffs are rare and getting expensive. That’s kinda like a barn find Shelby you got there. Check my videos out of the skiff I designed and built.
🌴 🫲🏼😳🫱🏼 Hey Forest , we’re ya been bro , this is the perfect build , I’m so glad your back , that skiff flies , how much does it weigh? I’m still working on my project nano skiff , the price of glass and resin is crazy , I wait until I can get end roll scraps at a cheaper price at FGC , do you know anyone building poling platforms?

Hes back
Always great videos but the wait between …
I recognize that motor from another past build…
Man what's happening on the sub build
Love the channel and these “full” episodes, but…. Weekly uploads would skyrocket your TH-cam into mainstream.
Nice build
