Welcome to another 10 minute aluminum boat build from #brigadeboats ! I had more labor hours in this boat than any before it,over 250+ hours. Hence, the thumbnail "NEVER AGAIN" , as I may never spend this much time or detail on another project! In this video I will document the transformation of an ugly and worn out Lowe 170 aluminum bass boat into a beautiful showstopping rig. Even better, I'll share the entire build out in just 10 minutes!
This project was a year and a half in the making. The owner and I began talks back in the winter of 2020. This build and footage in video took place from fall 2021 to spring 2022. I've been slowly editing this video for months, I truly hope you enjoy!
Don't forget to hop on the BRIGADE train and subscribe to the channel! You are a part of what keeps this thing in motion!
In this video I document the entire 17ft aluminum bass boat build, from start to finish. I show the entire process covering the trailer restoration, gutting boat, wiring, electronics, livewell install and test, aluminum fabrication and framing, aluminum decking and sheeting, installing aluminum anti flood hatches, eva foam decking, and much much more! Of course I'll show the tools used and share some tips and tricks along the way! At the end of the video we take a look at the finished project, which is absolutely stunning. We will also check in with the customer as he picks up his new dream machine!

The satisfaction of having done it yourself is priceless, and whoever hasn't been through a build like this, will never get it. I designed and built my own fiberglass Bass boat from an existing 16ft ski boat hull in 2014. Needs a new coat of paint, but still going strong, with a 150 HO Evinrude to help it along. But yes....never again...maybe 🤔

Excellent work! Ive got some skills and experience too and what you’ve done is very close to off the charts. The details on the wiring and access to future trouble spots is well thought out. I’m guessing this was set up for electric only waters. The hull was the right size to be comfortable and stable, keeping things off the decks and out of the way. I hope you do something else in the future. Nice to watch someone do things right.

Do I understand correctly that the removed foam was supposed to keep the boat afloat in case of capsizing? Won't it drown now if it capsizes?
@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Жыл бұрын
Would have drowned if it were left in as it was water soaked holding hundreds of pounds of weight. The owner specified he did not want any foam back in. This is an electric only reservoir boat, incredibly unlikely it will ever flip over. If it takes in water, it has a bilge pump.

Such a cool build. I can't afford a boat but one day maybe I will. How much overall was the cost of this build with you doing all the labor yourself?
@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Жыл бұрын
Man, loaded question because I built it for a customer and had labor cost. He bought some of the stuff, alrrady owned some parts, really hard to tell. I mean, the trolling motor alone is 3k. You could probably buy all the materials for 4-6k not including graphs or batteries or motors. But add in labor, candy paint, all the expensive electronics, this is a 25K boat all day.

@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats 11 ай бұрын
I'm not sure what hull you're referring to for 8K at bass pro. I built this for a customer. He had no problem paying my price for a one of a kind work of art. I build boats for people all over the country, and they wait over a year for me to do their boat. If the cheapest boat possible is what you want, I'm not your guy, and you don't see the value in hand crafted custom fabrication. Cheap is easy. Just drive to bass pro and finance. Get something that everyone can have and doesn't turn heads. Custom is custom. Typically more expensive and hard to find and definitely drops jaws at the boat ramp. To each their own though, im probably the wrong guy to ask about stock boats from bass pro, not my wheel house.
@drkronkron3061 Жыл бұрын
Nice job Anthony as always, I do think it’s time you step up your game and start using aluminum welding over most of the rivets. I get you have to use some rivets in some spots but that takes up too much time when you can pre fabricate and weld then install. Time is money and doing double work cost you money. Take a look at Tricked Tins Page and you will see how fast he gets his work done. He also uses minor rivet work on his builds only when necessary. I am not by any means trying to be harsh here just simply stating welding is much more stronger and cleaner looking.
@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Жыл бұрын
I get it. Perhaps your unaware but this footage is almost 2 years old. I've welded my past 3 boat builds. You can look at my last build on here, the Alumacraft Bandit, all welded. I've been welding a year now, you can see allthe real time frames and builds on my instagram, @adubjones..I'm simply re editing old footage for a 10 minute videoseries im doing. Appreciate the insight.

thumbnail was deceiving, clickbait actually. In my mind, never again means never building another one with riveted framing (i weld now) or possibly never again putting the amount of labor i did into this one. It's all been a learning experience and I enjoy the journey. I've been doing boat builds and content creation full time for almost two years now, I've made it work.
