Man I called my brother the main mo gow fabercater and I'm 60 and he is 70 and we both agree You have Achieved Fabercater Master craftsmanship.number. 1 status in are Book . Big Love from Virginia Jesus saves.
miss my boat had some great times on it. now i rent one for the day once a year and get something i could only afford by renting it for the day, love the pre-order
Cars and motorcycles are holes in the road (or dirt) you throw money into. An airplane is a hole in the sky... they all cost money, but the money is the price to pay for having fun.
That they may be ….. mine have given me great times and memories of my wife and friends and the joy of being on the water on a beautiful day. Try buying that later on inlod age
one of my old friends (RIP) would always ask. "ever see a trailer hitch on a hearse?" if you can spend a little money for something that will bring a smile to your face, do it. I have pretty much guaranteed I will be poor the rest of my life by getting into airplanes, but I can just go to the airport, hop in my plane, and fly hundreds of miles to get a hamburger if I want. I may live in a tiny apartment with a room mate, but I am living. and if you saw my plane, I think you would love it. 1969 piper cherokee with what looks to be original 1969 paint (whats left of it) she might not look like much, but shes got it where is counts.
Dude YES! Living the dream my friend. I promised myself for my 42nd birthday (I bought the boat for my 41st) I’m going to buy myself some kind of ultralight that doesn’t require a flight path. Either a paramotor or a gyrocopter… just gotta lose weight in between then and now!!
@@shadetreesurgeon i hear there is some real good paramotor schools down there in Florida. a youtuber, Tucket Gott works with Aviator Paramotor not to far from lakelane. I definitely would recommend some sort of training if you want to try flying anything, it is not something that you should try and "feel out" as there is a lot of ways mess up, some of them you can only do once.
When you’re flying thousands of feet over the kiwis heads(they are birds that can’t fly) no one can tell how ugly your flying machine is. Or more importantly to me… My ugly ass airplane . Slip the surely bonds of earth and rejoice…!!!
That Ranger center console boat is out outrageous. I remember those boats use to sell for $65,000. I have a Bluewave boat I bought 20 years ago that I paid $18,500. Things have gotten outrageous.
for wood replacement on boat and trailer I recommend switching to the plastic / PVC boards. for my deck boards I recycled some scrapped pvc boards from a commercial bath room. I picked them up from the green project in New Orleans maybe you got a similar resource in Florida. For my Running boards on my trailer I PVC glued together (with clams and SST wood screws) two 1x4 pvc trim boards to make 2x4's cut and bolted them in place.
I bought a small Mercury outboard from my local Bass Pro. A couple years later I went back to buy a propeller. They said ok, we'll order you one. What? You don't stock the propeller for a common outboard that you sell? Sorry. I'll get it from Amazon for half the price and free home delivery. I try to support my local businesses but they gotta make an effort. BTW I had a V45 Sabre with the same fairing. It was a screamer. I can't imagine what the V65 is like. I saw that bike collecting spider webs when I visited David and Cindy last April. It does deserve resurrection.
Josh,Ormond Beach is the same as far as condo's popping up everywhere. Came down to the wang 2 years ago from Her 2 Wheels land and may have to return. It's getting pricey here !
I thought you did very well with the boat launch and recovery. Bass Pro has crazy markup on their boats. I always buy used anyway, much more bang for the busk. Congrats on the house and keep up the good work. Great vid.
Definitely more boat content pls. Not all of us get to live in Fla. Also, dont let them talk you into wasting your money. A new boat doesnt mean catch more fish.
I'm not a bolt guy, but I thought about the cons of using nuts and bolts instead of screws, I might be completely wrong. Nuts and bolts are more likely to corrode and seize, making it harder to take apart for maintenance. That being said if you put a steel screw into aluminum you'll end up with the same problem. The second thing is weight, the extra length of a bolt to pass all the way through and then putting a bolt on the back side can add up to extra pounds when your replacing hundreds if not thousands of screws with nuts and bolts. I don't know if any of that helps, but I love the videos.
I grew up with my dad commercial fishing, so I grew up having a boat or two at the house. But this was in the 80’s and my dad’s boats were 60’s models. I really want a pontoon, but I’m more of a marketplace deal searcher than Bass Pro shopper. Lots of my coworkers buy new G3s for fishing and duck hunting and $20k side by sides…I just can’t do it. We work at the same place and make the same money, I guess I just hate debt more than them lol
I scored a Free 17' bowrider that needed impellers in the 115 & 9.9hp engines that ran perfectly. There was a little blistered gel coat basically an afternoon to fix
My son is a fishing guide in Key West. His boat cost more than my fixer upper house in Tennessee. I'll be back home in the winter so I'll say howdy at Rivers Edge or Peggy's Corral.
That final boss Jon boat. I love it. Ain’t buying it but still. It’s setup that way to go flounder gigging at night on the flats. Always wanted to do that
Bought my 1448 weldbilt Jon boat new for $2550. Add $600 for a pawnshop 15hp Mercury, and $300 for an Amazon mud motor. Easy to swap back and forth between motors. Runs super skinny water (with the mud motor) and is fun to wave to the guys with expensive rigs as I easily slide over the obstacles that stop them. “Se ya later nerds”. Check out some of my shorts if you’re not convinced.
My boss bought a new 50k boat. Two things - it was only 10k more than a 5 year old boat that probably never had an oil change and he plans to keep it a solid 20 years. I had the same question about baller expensive boats and he said the fishing comp people get wild. They’ll launch a 500k+ boat at a tournament in Pensacola, go all the way to Louisiana to fish and still be back in time to turn in.
Yeah you can find some good deals on used boats. Heck sometimes I come across the exact same used boat in better condition at the lower price than the higher price. I sometimes wonder if people selling their used stuff ever search to see what others are pricing their exact same items for. I love seeing something used for a high price and listed right next to it are three more of the same thing for half the money lol.
Check out "go devil" or other long tail boat motors. Basically an air cooled lawn mower engine with a shaft. Put one on an aluminum boat and you can go anywhere. Loads of cheap, crazy fun. Some guys have even put Harley engines in them.
with the trend of everyone moving to Tampa, those who already own homes will be able to walk into boat or new auto dealerships and walk out with their new vehicles without any hassle because they can use their homes as collateral in a city where homes are gold because of demand,
Yeah no Bass Pro Shop in my future either. My daily drive is 28 years old. I've heard some people say the two happiest times for a boat owner are when they buy and sell their boats. I saw Chey showing some of the new cool shirts. 《sell out》and cool that she made a necklace with Bilbos name.
All depends where ya buy a boat. Up north here they're significantly cheaper but we only get to use them roughly 3/4 of the year. That apocalypse john boat looks like it was for bow fishing and things like that.
That’s why I enjoy your content so much I never know what I’m going to get. But what ever you decide to do I’m going to love it. As far as the boat goes tell them no matter what you like to do most people are going to throw money at it. So until they start paying for your boat or what ever other hobby you enjoy they can keep their comments to themselves. That wasn’t very nice was it sorry. You take care and ride safe.
Those are typical prices, find a good dealer with great service. My nearest Yamaha dealer is great and they sell G3 boats. They are lucky to have Bob rigging boats there he does an amazing job not just rushing the boat out the door with problems to be corrected later when you just wanted to fish. Smaller dealers are better & a great one delivers great customer satisfaction. Mercury is great but you just can't go wrong with a Yamaha or Suzuki on the back.
Nice, I am behind on your videos. Didn't know you got a big boat after the video of launching the smaller boat with the bike. Going out on a medium older boat is much better than going on someone's pristine baby. Not worried so much about doing any damage or intense boating etiquette.
I paid $200 for my 13' 1985 Western aluminum boat with a good trailer, and then I put a brand new Honda 15 h.p. motor on it. It's plenty for the bay and lakes around here. Hope you enjoy yours!
I worked as a Caravan and Motorhome Valeter for a Stealership once, and you'll be surprised the amount of Customers Part Exchanging their 2 year old for the New Model and the Trade Ins get bought instantly. This happens every year without fail even during a Economic Depression.😮
Your video was excellent as usual and really enjoy your eloquent banter when you ride. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome world with us peons from the dark dimensions of TH-cam lol.
I am with you, would not spend that much on a boat. But spend 15k on a motorcycle that I use everyday! 50k boat, I better be able to live in it for a week or more.
03:58 am I seeing a bolt hole behind the fairing mount. It's well after the fact, but a long bolt and some tubing for a stand-off could have been an easy fix. Probably for both sides.
One maybe silly question is why modify the engine mounts and not put the new piece behind the mount, then a small rubber spacer for between the mount to the engine to make up the space added by your new fabricated part. But not a bad job!
Part of supporting a small business is realizing they do not have the liquidity of a large corporation, which means things might be delayed or take time. Most of the people supporting you should understand this. It also gives some of us a much better chance of getting stuff.
Love seeing my bike all in one pice. And love the stock or was it a aftermarket faring. That was sold through the dealer. Bought one for my 700 back in1985. Could not buy the color matching for my 700cc . Bought my basket case v65 around 2004. Bought a lot of new parts and mounted new tires. And then put it Aside. One day Maybe. I should just think about turning it into a Trike . It is a very tall bike.
I miss the V65's. They were the bike in the day. Next to the suki 3 cylinder 2 strokes. And Kawi. 1000's. We are that old. We just ride. Old man Harley-Davidsons these days. 😂😂😂😂
The Kicker looked like an industrial grade, war machine. Yeah I could c Shade, et. al., cruising the Tampa canals in that thing ….. at night - gotta make sure those LED’s r up to snuff. But, that 400 horse, V-10 Ranger ….. RAMMING!! speed on the water. That would b a hell of a feeling and at $150k+, it should b.
Oh Boats- my pops has a 1979 Eliminator with a 454 & a Berkeley Jet and I have a 1968 Chrysler "Super Bee Marine" with a I/O 340 Magnum & Volvo/Penta out drive. When people see either of these boats they beg to buy them.
Use some stainless steel bolts. General steel, even galvanised with fade away quickly. Love your electicism videos dude! I wore my "Shadetree Army T-shirt in Ukraine and locals were looking at it a lot, wondering what foreign unit it is...kept it "weird".
There's nothing wrong with you than nuts and bolts on boat parts as long as they're stainless steel, preferably polished. If you're screwing stainless into aluminum, use some Teflon gel to help prevent corrosion. Also, if you're attaching something to the boat ( like a strike plate to the bow) you can use 5200 adhesive to help sick and seal around the screws.
My part time job is to set appointments for home improvements. We go to local events and home shows. At a boat show there were small boats that cost more than luxury cars. I see the people visiting the show and wonder what types of jobs they have to afford such things. Then I look at new car and truck prices and wonder the same thing. I have never been in the middle class. As a single person, if I were earning even the lowest end of a middle class income, I would feel wealthy. The best hope for me ever owning a home is probably to buy a big cargo trailer and convert it into a tiny house. Finding a place to park it would be the second challenge. I can't even afford a car. I travel on a little motor scooter. Life sucks. Then you die. I heard that as a child. Now I'm experiencing it. If there is an afterlife, I hope it is an improvement.
aS a professional fabricator, I can tell you that with the time you expended, the tools you used, and the end result... You ARE a Fabricator... Nice job!
Your boat is fine, like bikes you've obviously realized there are levels, I have a used Boston Whaler I've restored, a 17 ft BW and above you can fish offshore, think of it as an FXR on the water
Maybe Mr Trinidad will bring you a Virginia Tee shirt when he comes out to collect it. Then you can claim to still have your Virginia Tee after your 50th birthday!😮😂😂

Make sure Cammie wears a magic bikini when she launches the boat! LOL! Those who complain about the cost of a boat DON'T HAVE ONE! LOL! So enjoy yours knowing that and laugh at them! LOL! You will continue to talk carp and that's what we like about you! LOL! If you state 4-8 weeks for delivery those who get them in that time are happy and those who get them earlier are really happy, win-win for everyone!
I am with you all day. I guess I just have never had so much money that I could afford to drop 10k+ on a toy. If I am spending that much $$, I need to be able to live in it if hard times come. LOVE THE CHANNEL!
I bought my 1994 Proline for $14000 in 1999….sold it a few years ago for $2K to get it out of the driveway….honestly, I regret doing that, but I just didn’t have the time to work on getting it running again….good deals are out there.

Use regular plywood and seal it in with fiberglass resin...automotive grade. Perfectly waterproof and the resin can be used for a future project.

GALVANANIC CORROSION is also to be considered. Just web search a chart for ease of selecting metals. Salt water speeds it up.
That's what I was thinking would be the only reason other than being able to access the other side.. maybe using SS would be ideal

Use some stainless steel bolts. General steel, even galvanised with fade away quickly. Love your electicism videos dude! I wore my "Shadetree Army T-shirt in Ukraine and locals were looking at it a lot, wondering what foreign unit it is...kept it "weird".
That’s so awesome man!! Stay safe over there my friend!!
I’ve always loved this gloves dude
Look at you, Josh Millyard, banging out parts out of iron.
I'm very impressed you didn't use wood.
There's nothing wrong with you than nuts and bolts on boat parts as long as they're stainless steel, preferably polished. If you're screwing stainless into aluminum, use some Teflon gel to help prevent corrosion. Also, if you're attaching something to the boat ( like a strike plate to the bow) you can use 5200 adhesive to help sick and seal around the screws.
One of the coolest looking bikes from that era. I want to ride it !!! You could buy a lot of nice bikes for the price of mediocre boat
Regular home depot wood slathered in poly or stain or fiberglass resin is your friend. Just need to be as waterproof as possible
Using bolts is a great idea for pretty much everything I hate when a builder does something on a car or a trailer and they use a square head screw
My part time job is to set appointments for home improvements. We go to local events and home shows. At a boat show there were small boats that cost more than luxury cars. I see the people visiting the show and wonder what types of jobs they have to afford such things. Then I look at new car and truck prices and wonder the same thing.
I have never been in the middle class. As a single person, if I were earning even the lowest end of a middle class income, I would feel wealthy. The best hope for me ever owning a home is probably to buy a big cargo trailer and convert it into a tiny house. Finding a place to park it would be the second challenge. I can't even afford a car. I travel on a little motor scooter.
Life sucks. Then you die. I heard that as a child. Now I'm experiencing it. If there is an afterlife, I hope it is an improvement.
After seeing those house priced boats your boat is a vessel of crap . . . . but it's still a vessel
Best wishes - the bilge pump is your friend
aS a professional fabricator, I can tell you that with the time you expended, the tools you used, and the end result... You ARE a Fabricator... Nice job!
I pre-ordered and don't mind. You produce 5xl shirts that are good shirts with great printing. I never midn waiting.
Your boat is fine, like bikes you've obviously realized there are levels, I have a used Boston Whaler I've restored, a 17 ft BW and above you can fish offshore, think of it as an FXR on the water
30:00 - Shade had the camera in the A/C ….. there is an adjustment period.
Maybe Mr Trinidad will bring you a Virginia Tee shirt when he comes out to collect it. Then you can claim to still have your Virginia Tee after your 50th birthday!😮😂😂
I have this 1984 Sabre and I love it
lol the v65 wanted to watch the world 🔥 😂😂😂
Ahh I haven't been somewhere and felt poor in a minute 😂 Thanks for the reminder.
Gf and I watched this lastnight, just wanted to say nice work on those brackets. Im delighted to see your level of quality going up LMAO
@@TheMostDangerousWayPossible damn, just three weeks ago was my “old content” that you could watch with your girlfriend? You miss the “old times”…. THREE WEEKS AGO 😂
@@shadetreesurgeon id love to chat as adults if you would like. I like you and your group of friends and mean no hard feelings dude. im truly sorry if my comments were too accurate or just plain offensive and out of line. im only human.
Make sure Cammie wears a magic bikini when she launches the boat! LOL! Those who complain about the cost of a boat DON'T HAVE ONE! LOL! So enjoy yours knowing that and laugh at them! LOL! You will continue to talk carp and that's what we like about you! LOL!
If you state 4-8 weeks for delivery those who get them in that time are happy and those who get them earlier are really happy, win-win for everyone!
I am with you all day. I guess I just have never had so much money that I could afford to drop 10k+ on a toy. If I am spending that much $$, I need to be able to live in it if hard times come. LOVE THE CHANNEL!
I bought my 1994 Proline for $14000 in 1999….sold it a few years ago for $2K to get it out of the driveway….honestly, I regret doing that, but I just didn’t have the time to work on getting it running again….good deals are out there.
v65 engine has been legend for being too much bike when I was a kid. Stories of hot shots wrecking to their demise were plentiful.
bro the star craft marine tripped me out. im currently fighting for my life vs a terran and was so confused
I’m so glad someone caught that 😂
@@shadetreesurgeon I do 2 things with my life. Play star craft and ride motorcycle :D
I always figured that if BrapStar had a team boat, that it would be a homemade fan boat with a motorcycle engine or two on it.
What boat ramp did you put on at?
