You did an amazing job bringing that boat back to life! Hopefully in Part 3 we can see it out on the water, probably my favourite boat of all time, sadly never had the chance to own one..
this is the type of notification I’m talking about! My bass boat restoration is in the middle of wiring. After that it’s motor time after nearly 4 years in the garage. Had the transom,stringers and floor replaced by Marinepro (so expensive) so it’s rock solid. I’m slightly disparaged by how long it has taken me and how it has nickle and dimed me to death. Only thing I need to order is guages thanks for the motivation
I know how you feel! I never would’ve guessed this project would take me over two years, but here we are. And it seems like every time I turn around there’s more money I have to spend haha.
Yeah for sure.. I don't move like I did 15 or 20 years ago, which equates to more money or time for projects. Looks awesome, can't wait to see you ripping across the water with it up on the Pad!!
Absolutely Amazing! So happy to see your project nearing the end. Home stretch now pal! What are you using for the stereo? Interested in the sound quality with the hidden speakers. Only say that because I found I really lost the High frequency’s when the tweeters weren’t facing
@@travisprice3368 I can see the light! Not much more to do, I hope to be done and waiting for the ice to melt so I don't miss any time this summer. The stereo is a Jensen marine head unit. Fits into a 3" gauge hole. I'll show more in the next video. It works great for me since you can completely control the unit via a phone app including turning it on and off, I never have to touch the unit itself. It also stores the presets without needing standby power, so I can completely disconnect the battery when not in use. The speakers sound great to me, there's four 6 1/2" Alpine marine speakers, they get plenty loud and have very clear sound, even aiming at the floor. I'm actually looking at where I could hide a subwoofer as it could use more bass.
@@TNels Seeing your progress is uplifting. It will all be worth it so very soon. Mine is registered and the trailer is completely re-furbished. I glassed in a custom casting deck and did a nice pad/carpet job. 6” jackplate on 17’ boat. Should be fun!
When is part 3 coming out , I’m ready to see that thing in the water. I’m currently working on a 1996 sunbird fish n ski and I’m almost there. It’s nothing as in-depth as your build. And again awesome work.
@@PowellRoadDIY I hope to have part 3 out in the next week or two. I wanted to wait until I had everything finished but the shops are so backed up I'm putting in the old seats and running it.
I'm kind of a gauge nut, as you can see haha. Other than the trim gauge I reference them all quite regularly. For bare minimum I would say a water pressure and tach are necessity. You can go without a speedo. With a water pressure a water temp isn't as important, but I like to have it to know when its up to temp and I can start to hammer on it.
I had sheet metal formed to match the original profile then used a shrinker stretcher to form it to the hull, welded them together and glued it on. I have a video of doing that and building a fuel tank here. th-cam.com/video/_4M8vYtjyl4/w-d-xo.html
Sorry I just saw this comment, Zak. I used a 4" wide paint brush and cut 4 "fingers" for lack of a better term into it. Dipped it into the gelcoat and just flung it around. I do have video here, I just don't explain it in the video. th-cam.com/video/u6cxhljBN2w/w-d-xo.html
Amazing job. Howard Pipkorn is smiling down on you. You saved a piece of history. Awesome Awesome videos 1,2&3 👍🏻
Thank you very much! I was really hoping to have Howard sign the dash. We didn’t live far apart, sadly he passed before I finished the rebuild.
Probably the best restoration time lapse I have ever seen, really good job on the boat too, good on ya mate
Thank you so much!

Thank you! Part 3 may have the first ride, although I’m considering a dedicated video for the first time in the water.
Amazing job. Looking foward to more videos. You are very talented in all aspects of your work. Love the American flag on wall. 👍
That's an incredibly nice compliment, thank you! Our flag was the first thing hung up when I bought my house! I hope to have part 3 up next week.

This will be a great summer for you my friend!
Yeah can't wait! Just waiting on upholstery now.

Thank you!
Uhhh yeah. Ima need you to come wire my hydrostream when I’m done... I saw snow so I’m hoping you’re close to Minnesota haha

Amazing work
Thank you!

Good
Do you like having or use all the guages? I'm thinking of doing the stream I'm working on with none or maybe just tach/gps speedo.

Measure twice, drill once
How did you do the rub rail? Did I miss that part?

How to do the drizzle floor style?
I took a 4" paint brush and cut 3 or 4 "fingers" into it. Dipped that in the gelcoat and just flung it around.
You got a vid, how you did the drizzle floor look? What

Had to mute!! I didn't come here to listen to this noise!!
3 minutes, I just turn it off.........
Thanks for watching
It's more work putting-up with the crap music.
Not a lot of options out there for free duty free music.
