As a person who works with his hands, it does my heart good to see another professional keep his environment clean and clutter free. Always feel better about my work. Awesome job, the boat looked amazing.
There is nothing like watching a old boat come back to life... I myself would hands down would love to have a boat hand built by someone knowing your helping an individual rather than a big company... You Sir are a craft master... attention to detail is amazing... maybe one day i would be able to have a boat built by yourself.... Keep up the amazing work!!!!
Just completed my latest boat restoration. Took my father-in-laws 1985 Monarch he purchased new and done a total restoration on it. Used alot of your videos to help me through the process. Thanks for the guidance. Wish i could post the before and after pictures. Taking it to the St. John's River in Florida this weekend for the first time.
Awesome to hear man! You can always dm me pics on my other social media stuff or email. Glad to hear the videos helped. Enjoy the rig and thanks for the support!
Absolutely fantastic craftsmanship! Better than old MTv pimp my ride episodes! The boat owner is truly blessed to have your custom build! Phenomenal work! Slack jawed salivation... Maybe someday we are worthy and wealthy enough for a piece of banditry 😎 Now to formulate what im going to do with my recently purchased used 12' jon boat... Thanks for some ideas Blessings and Aloha!
I have an old Elgin semi-bee I’m hoping to convert into a bass boat. Nothing I’ve viewed yet compares with the quality and features you’ve built. Professional IS the most descriptive word I can use. You’ve given me an example of what can be achieved. What talent and skills you guys possess. Attention to detail, outstanding……👍👍👍. I’ve never taken on a project of transforming a tinny…but try I will . At 79, I hope to do some fishing in my tinny Bass upgrade. Thanks for the video.
Your ideas are off the charts! Your definitely an artist. Kinda like going to get a tattoo and giving them the basics of what you want and let them come up with the masterpiece. Can’t wait for more! 👏🏽🙌🏽💯
Great analogy! Each boat is different and a lot of the design work is made on the fly. I appreciate customers who trust the process! Thanks for the support 👊
Outstanding job !! The boat is beautiful !! I’m a 55 year old carpenter with tons of remodeling experience on buildings and boats 🚤 your attention to detail is great 👍 very very nice job 🎉 I can understand and appreciate the effort you put into this boat !! I am a long time Bass fishermen and I have had a few boats, I had to sell my skeeter Bass boat when I got divorced 🎉 lol I am now with no boat, but maybe some day I can get something exactly like this one 🎉 lol Well… that’s enough said for me 😂 great job 👏
Thanks for taking the time to leave an awesome comment, it's definitely appreciated! Hope you get another boat soon! Some of these older jon boats can be amazing with a little money and know how!
Awesome work! I’d like to get my hands on that rod box lid you used for this build. Anyway you could tell us how to get that. I looked on the tbnation website but no luck.
It's not on the site. You need to email them directly for custom lids. You can mention this boat build by Anthony Jones and the fab guy knows the rod locker lid we built.
Man I have a 82 alumacraft boat but it's 16 ft, almost the same style as the bandit. Doing a aluminum/wood build and after seeing your craftsmanship I want to gut it and bring it to you!
Love the way it looks. I have the same boat but its an 85 would love to have this done to it. can you tell me what the actual cost was to have this restored?
Just curious if you considered how much weight all the new aluminum framing adds granted aluminum is light, I was just wondering if it would change how the boat performs on water?
I am going to have to do the same thing with the doubling of foam for my boat... but i thought in a previous video, you werent a fan of the EPS stuff with the foil backing?
You do a really good clean jobs.iv watched all of your videos big fan man.everything is built right and ocd to and can't find any flaws I got a job boat and let me tell you im like I'ma do that!!! lol give u props man
Hey Anthony my brother from another mother. Big Mike Jones here. Just a FYI, if you were to upgrade the steering wheels, that would be the icing on the cake....Later Dawg....
on a build like this how mush did it cost to built, I was looking to get a Jon boat in a couple years and I'm trying to get a understanding how much would it cost
Have the exact same boat, my buddy and myself built the front deck last year. Looks a lot like that one except mine is built for Bowfishing and has bigger compartments
Your videos are inspiring me and my teenaged boys to try this. Thank you! In another video, you showed a bottle of "NAFTHA". I know what Naphtha is, are they the same? I apologize if you get this question alot.
Hey Anthony! I would like to know what setup do you have on your welder and spool gun? It looked like to me we have the same welder and spool gun. I'm working on an alumacraft super bandit 91, but I can't seem to get the welder and spool gun dialed in. I'm trying to do my own welding. And like what you are doing with yours.
Not bad for a budget but I'm really no expert. I have learned wire quality shows me a difference and of course fine tuning settings. Practice makes perfect i guess
Incredible work! Great details included for DIYers. I’m trying to plan my build. Was curious, (although it’s all “relative”) but for a guy like you who puts so much into it (like I would do) what’s a realistic time frame of how much time something like this would take? If you could work on it days straight, how long would you think? Trying to get an idea before I explode my garage.
I am in the middle of a similar 40 year old boat build right now. What was the total cost for a project like this. Just figuring out what im getting into.
Excellent work! Planning to buy my first aluminium boat and transform it just the way you did it, this is amazing inspiration. One question regarding the water pump, what is the exact function of it? Furthermore, the draining from the electric motor pedal, where does it lead the water to? -- Can´t wait to start, greeting from Seville, Spain! 💪
Thanks man. No foam up front because the hull does a tapered v and we stopped the aluminum in the flat storage area and left the far front hull uncovered hull for lifejackets or other stuff. It would have been a lot of extra work for an unused area long story short.
I would love to learn from you bro I am building out my own game fisher 1436 but doing it with parts I have or got donated it's going pretty good just not as clean as I would like cause I can't afford the aluminum for walls in hatches have to use plexi. But still show pride and keep it as clean as possible
Can we talk about me having my boat done by you? Please let me know if we can make this possible. 16ft Alumium Riveted Cajun Special Fully Gutted Already!
Go buy a new boat. Some people prefer one off custom work built better than mass produced factory crap. But there's always that " i coulda bought a new boat cheaper " guy. Which isn't my customer base...lol
As a person who works with his hands, it does my heart good to see another professional keep his environment clean and clutter free. Always feel better about my work. Awesome job, the boat looked amazing.
Very clean and your attention to detail is unparalleled in the tiny boat empire. Keep em coming Dr. Jones!
That means more than you know. Thank you 👊
lol. No time for love Dr. Jones...make more tiny boats!

my friend your a true craftsman. no short cuts and it shows. thanks
Much appreciated my man. Thanks for watching!
that bass boat is a work of art
Absolutely fantastic craftsmanship!
Better than old MTv pimp my ride episodes!
The boat owner is truly blessed to have your custom build!
Phenomenal work!

I have this same boat in a 1986 model and this blows my mind. All I can say is WOW. Good job brothet
Thanks so much! Anything is possible!
@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats yes sir it is but I bet it costs a fortune and a lot of time involved.
Just discovered your channel and gotta say WOW! You just gave me the inspiration and motivation to restore my old bass tracker. Thank you.
Your ideas are off the charts! Your definitely an artist. Kinda like going to get a tattoo and giving them the basics of what you want and let them come up with the masterpiece.

Ohhhhhhhhh man. I have the same boat and just got it all stripped out. Thus couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Well done Anthony!! Love it
Much appreciated. Hope it helps inspire! Thanks
This one turned out so clean! Killer work
Outstanding job !! The boat is beautiful !!

That boat is clean! Amazing work bud
That's my dream boat bud!!! Awesome stuff man!!!!
respect, working in those boats is not easy. nothing square plumb or level!
Not at all man!!! Thanks
I am going to have to do the same thing with the doubling of foam for my boat... but i thought in a previous video, you werent a fan of the EPS stuff with the foil backing?
Id prefer pink or green but that's all they had in 1/4 inch size after going to multiple stores.
so its ok to use... just not the first choice. Got it.. now at least I know what to do to fill the remaining gap on top of the pink foam
I love the Coangler Eject switch…awesome idea for when wife ready to go home and or not. Put a car airbag under the seat and send her flying 🤣 😂
Yeah cuz wifo ejecto button a must need!!!
Love thew channel and quality of work. You have me wanting to buy a project and ship it down to you....
I'm pretty backed up but I definitely appreciate that!
Awesome. I love it. Functional and comfortable looking. Great work. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!
You do a really good clean jobs.iv watched all of your videos big fan man.everything is built right and ocd to and can't find any flaws I got a job boat and let me tell you im like I'ma do that!!! lol give u props man
Hey Anthony my brother from another mother. Big Mike Jones here. Just a FYI, if you were to upgrade the steering wheels, that would be the icing on the cake....Later Dawg....
May I ask where to get seats like that? Nice work !
Where are you located for the boat restorations?
I'm in Georgia but currently am not taking any new projects.
As always A Dub, beautiful work. If I can ever figure out how to send a pic on here I'll show you my boat that was inspired by you and TBN
Thanks man! You can always dm me on other social media platforms!
Man you nail the videos Best I've seen!!! What welder did you get? Keep up the good work...channel ROCKS!!!!
And Iv watched your first to your last video you've come along way already bro keep it going and tweaking AND UPGRADING EVERYTHING
I'm curious how much space have you reserved for the battery? What is the approximate size?
That's extremely clean. Great job. What does something like this even cost?
Excellent work! If one wanted a almost identical build but with rivets and not welded what package would they get from TBN?
I'm honestly not sure! I'd reach out to those guys, im sure they can assist you!
That turned out freaking amazing. Great work guys!
Thanks!!!
on a build like this how mush did it cost to built, I was looking to get a Jon boat in a couple years and I'm trying to get a understanding how much would it cost
So sick! Wow you do amazing work!
I have a question.
How many amps is your mig welder.
Wow killer build looks better then 60 grand bass boat see on showroom floor can't wait c next build
Thanks so much man..Next build will definitely be interesting. It will be a hate it or love it deal im sure
dude you did an awesome job you should have had 14 thousands likes..
Thank you. Maybe one day!
Have the exact same boat, my buddy and myself built the front deck last year. Looks a lot like that one except mine is built for Bowfishing and has bigger compartments
Your videos are inspiring me and my teenaged boys to try this. Thank you!
In another video, you showed a bottle of "NAFTHA". I know what Naphtha is, are they the same? I apologize if you get this question alot.
Looks AWESOME!! But why did you paint the bow and the back of the boat ?
Looks "finished". Painted interior of hatches or turf comes standard with my interior build outs.
So you know how to weld aluminum now. That’s awesome.
Work in progress!
How long did it take to complete?
How much did it cost to fit out. $?
nice job with the commentary - love all of the time lapses. oh and the boat's pretty cool too ;-)
Hey Anthony! I would like to know what setup do you have on your welder and spool gun? It looked like to me we have the same welder and spool gun. I'm working on an alumacraft super bandit 91, but I can't seem to get the welder and spool gun dialed in. I'm trying to do my own welding. And like what you are doing with yours.
What about stuff being washed under the false floor? I take it could end up being stinky?
Man this has me wanting to do my 17footer into a skiff style.
How do you like that welder and spool gun? I’m thinking about buying one myself.
Not bad for a budget but I'm really no expert. I have learned wire quality shows me a difference and of course fine tuning settings. Practice makes perfect i guess

Un gran trabajo, cuántos días se tomaron y el costo total de lo invertido.
Man you do wonderful work
I appreciate that!
What would I be looking at price wise for someone to do a similar build on a 82 bass tracker III 16'?
Do you still weld the frames?
yes
That’s a big aluminum boat!
what does that cost to get done and what would the resale value of the boat be after?
Amazing work!
Thanks👊
Awsome job. Keep up the good work. 👍
Will do, thanks for watching!
Sweet build dude. Your skills are beyond reproach Brother 👏👏👏
Thanks so much! Hooe you are well buddy!
Slayed it my man.
thank u🙌

Furthermore, the draining from the electric motor pedal, where does it lead the water to? -- Can´t wait to start, greeting from Seville, Spain! 💪
What do you have in material cost for a build like this?
What’s the cost of something like this(ball park)? I have a 97 SeaArk zx180 that i would like to have some work done to it.
Do you work on just friends boats or could I bring mine to you? I want an aluminum floor, storage in the benches, and hydro turf. Aluma craft 1540.
how much did his build cost. GREAT WORK
Yeah, very curious myself. Has to be a small fortune. Sure is sweet.
Love it, great job!
Thanks!🙌
Where are you located ?
I have an aluminum 1986 bass tracker pretty much identical to this boat. How would i contact you for my boat? btw i dont have social media
What is the total cost if TBN gutted the boat?
This is what American made used to represent!
Nice Work
Always enjoy , keep it up
Thank you, much appreciated!
How much did you charge for that ? I'm looking to have my alumacraft maverick redone.
Not enough. Every project is different and quoted different. All custom. Ive done projects from 5k to 40k
Wonder what the price tag is on a build like that.
Builds start at 9K
What would something like this cost u have the same boat
I have a 16ft DuraCraft side console when can I bring it to you
Man I'd love to take all the projects but right now I am booked out pretty far
Seen in queens Island marina 80s 90 hp evinrude beautiful boat with evinrude trolling motor in 80s 13 thousands dollars
Nice!
#8K When I find out what my new budget will be. I retire Sept 21. I will join. By the way congulations on 8k
Why no foam under the very front deck. Just a question dude is off the charts crazy good at what he does you dont see pride like this in just anybody
Thanks man. No foam up front because the hull does a tapered v and we stopped the aluminum in the flat storage area and left the far front hull uncovered hull for lifejackets or other stuff. It would have been a lot of extra work for an unused area long story short.
@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats I appreciate you replying and again not questioning just wandering cause u are for sure the best one doing it on youtube.
I would love to learn from you bro I am building out my own game fisher 1436 but doing it with parts I have or got donated it's going pretty good just not as clean as I would like cause I can't afford the aluminum for walls in hatches have to use plexi.

buen trabajo 👍
Can we talk about me having my boat done by you? Please let me know if we can make this possible. 16ft Alumium Riveted Cajun Special Fully Gutted Already!
Got put 90hp evenrude or mercury motor

Thanks cuz👊
⚒
Wow

@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats so much craftsmanship what a nice build! Great channel! Lets get bassin!!!
멋지네요
very nice video
Much appreciated!
I just wrote you on tik tok. I’m looking to get my lowe 17 bass boat redone! Help me please!
😮
🙌
Love this,but the cost of this project he could have bought a new boat
Go buy a new boat. Some people prefer one off custom work built better than mass produced factory crap. But there's always that " i coulda bought a new boat cheaper " guy. Which isn't my customer base...lol
She’s a beaute Clark
Thank you!
Really nice job. But the rivets probably leak like any rivet boat.
No. It was water tested before the build and the rivets were sealed in epoxy bottom coat (not in video).
looks great but i cant believe you put that much time, effort and money into an old riveted boat…
you'll love the time, effort, and money I put into a 12 ft plastic boat on the next build 🤣
holy shit
👊
🎉😢
