A little ingenuity, no apprehension or fear, a vast amount of measurements, ability to adapt, and aquired skills (learning on the fly), brings about master craftsmanship and a beautiful enclosed cabin. Very well done Marty!
My dad's an upholsterer, 30 years of experience on boats, furniture, and cars. I worked with him while growing up. All that to say, we've done our fair share of these projects AND you're crushing this man!!
I was a very early subscriber to your channel. You was just moving out of your house and moving onto the boat. I been amazed at your DIY projects over the years. You inspired me to build my own mud boat. I went to school for welding and worked in that field for awhile. But I got into Real Estate and made enough money to retire early. At 52 I just bought my retirement home on the Manatee River in Bradenton Florida. This Indiana farm boy is moving to Florida to have small boating adventures year around. I grew up and lived on the Ohio River but I hate the Indiana winters. So now I can Build boats,fish,explore out of the way beaches. I will have my personal boat ramp and dock. All this was put in place because of your inspiration. The great loop is on my list also. I hope you read this because you are a true inspiration to me and many others. I’m channel is small, but I hope to grow my channel once I get moved and start having more adventures... Thank you Marty... You the Man Buddy..
So glad my Mother taught me how to sew! Suggestion. Where the chrome supports might touch the ising glass, put white pieces of pool noodles or pipe insulators on the supports. Otherwise your ising glass will become rough and actually show rust and dirt from rain and condensation.
I love when you create things. It sparks so many ideas in my head. It’s like I feed off your creativity. I have followed you for years. I think since like 2012 or 2013 when you did the poor mans fishing kayak. I went and bought the same tiny little kayak as you and filled it up with an obscene amount of fishing gear and I fished super uncomfortably right with you through those years all on a way undersized kayak. Thanks for the videos Marty
Looks awesome Marty, during your journey on the loop if you just so happen to make it to southern Lake Michigan close to Indiana or southern Michigan I’d really like to see your boat in person, I’ll buy dinner, maybe you can give me some ideas for my boat. This has been a real inspiring project for me, my father passed away a few years ago and it was one project we were hoping to get underway... Thanks Marty ... James Cherry
Marty, I've been going back and re-watching your videos. This one is GREAT especially for me as I am attempting to make my own covers and isinglass enclosures for a boat I am rebuilding which hopefully will follow your wake some day, um, some year. Thank you again and safe travels!
Your patience amazes me, tedious work is extremely challenging. Best of luck on your journey, hope you'll be making the northerly leg during the summer, the Great Lakes are very unforgiving.
Your a man of many talents and I really enjoy the time you share I am really looking forward to your trip hope you have time to video and share the experience
Good one Marty! Looking forward to the video about the Solar system, as I have built a small one here, but there's always a chance to learn something different. Still waiting for the JetYak video too - nudge nudge! Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Knowing how to use a sewing machine is getting to be a lost art. Glad to see you taking the time to do this yourself and to share all this with us. Hoping to catch up with you sometime when you are passing along the Georgia Coast. Stay safe.
Hey thanks Marty for showing how to do this. That looks something I could do it myself. By they way, you will need some kinda heating inside your bridge when you go up north. Otherwise you can't see outside when it's raining and cold. Also, some kind of angle for the front window would be good to help the water go down when it rains (like all modern vessels have their bridge windows). Source: boater from Finland
Marty is sure the guy id want to go to for custom creations for varieties of things . That is so dope to do to your boat, now its like a little hut hangout as well. i can only imagine if u added some night lights sorta like white christmas lights but made for weather haha
Great project Mr Zoff. I'm kinda surprised you didn't consider velcro. Many different strengths....My snow ski boots have velcro latches that are bullet proof.
A nice WALKING FOOT sewing machine would have been nice for that project. Plus they fly when sewing, so fast it's scary. My brother has a couple to do upholstery work. Thank you for sharing.
Great Job! I admire the way you stuck to the design build process. If you want something (just as you have demonstrated), that you have got to pay the price. Captain Carpman
have you thought about using the oval shaped grommets with twist locks instead? that way you could just snap on the tarps anytime and you won't have those cableties sticking out making it look even more neat :)
That must have felt like it was never going to end lol. I broke sweat watching this video !! You should be good enough by now to make a para sail for the boat ?? 👍👍👍
Your sewing skills generate even more respect for your myriad skills. Making complicated tasks seem simple.
Marty...what about the turbo kayak?
We still waiting!

Shout out to the four leggers in your crew.
Marty makes it look like a _snap._

GREAT JOB MARTY!!!!!! That looks outstanding and it’s definitely gonna help out a ton, great improvement for the boat.
Another quality job done by Mr. Marty Zoffinger. Well done Sir!
Dang it... Fine, I'll make a snap cover for my Searay... Been putting it off.

Your dedication, energy, and craftsmanship are amazing. I wish I had 1/10 of all of it!
I see these projects and can’t believe the patience, skill, and creativity you have to complete them.
Awesome job Marty, might be a good idea to make a spare of your forward facing windshield panel in case something happens to it along your trip.
Incredible work. You are extremely handy and i think more people should use what they have to make what they need
Fantastic Job Marty!!!! It was a great pleasure meeting you, and checking out the boats and your incredible place!!!! Tight Lines Marty!!!!
Amazing patience. And it paid off dearly. Nice nice work!

Very impressive.
Dude. That’s amazing work.
I’m ready for the great loop series
AWESOME job dude...keep killing it...can't wait to be on the ocean doing the same
Those shades look amazing! Looks like it was done by a professional
Marty Zoffinger, Jack of all trades!
Glueing flexible craft magnet strips in place of zippers works really as long as you make the polarity the right way they will close themselves..
Awesome Marty
Looks like it was store bought amazing job
Awesome good job!
Your ingenuity and resourcefulness is amazing. Have you thought about using magnets? Keep those videos coming!
Love the chanel. Inspires me to build my own project.
have you thought about using the oval shaped grommets with twist locks instead? that way you could just snap on the tarps anytime and you won't have those cableties sticking out making it look even more neat :)
That must have felt like it was never going to end lol. I broke sweat watching this video !! You should be good enough by now to make a para sail for the boat ?? 👍👍👍
Turbo Jet Pack Kayak !!! When Is The Video Coming ?
Wow what a great job!! Tedious but so worth the effort, nice. Where are the fur babies?
This is all fine and dandy Marty , but when are we going to see the jet kayak hauling ass through the mangroves ?
I'd rename the boat "Patience" great job!
Legend. Too few will appreciate this.
Looking forward to the solar video!
Awesome Awesome Awesome. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great job you're hired
You should put some more grommets or what ever you call it around the one with the see through then you can cover it up when you need to.

You have a lot of patience. :)
Marty, love your channel
