Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video!

I’m a gen z and I did this it was fun and I learned a lot like imagining things and making them come true

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed the videos, good luck on your 14 footer!

I own a bigger bass tracker now and it’s the same nonstop tinkering. It’s nice to have something simpler that just works when it needs to, thanks for watching!

Great to hear! One thing about the a12/n12's by Lund is they seem to be more weight sensitive than other boats. Just one thing I would have tried to keep in mind and cut down more on in the build. Still works great nonetheless, good luck with the build!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

Very proud of you ,

Thanks, they make a big difference!

Thanks, good luck with your build!

Thanks!

Great to hear 16 foot would be much more practical, good luck with your build!

i know Im kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new series online ?

@Raymond Leighton I watch on flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

@Raymond Leighton i use flixzone. You can find it on google =)

Thanks, bilge pump is on the way and the handles work great!

Honestly the deck helped with both stability and storage. I think its attributed to heavier objects being closer to the bottom of the boat and an increase in walkable area. I was pretty surprised when I first used it and it’s been an improvement to the boat, we’ve had two guys standing up front and I’ve stood on the back bench with no accidents or spills and that’s about as tippy as I’ve ever had it. Its still not 18 footer stability and never will be, but for a 12 foot boat it’s pretty manageable. I think stability really has more to do with gross weight and placement than anything, but that’s just a thought. Hope this helped!

Lol, couldn’t agree more

Agreed, thanks for watching!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

@@MissionForFishing Quick question, What is that frame mountable strap you used for the rear of the boat?

@@nodayatthebeach Its a heavier duty cam buckle style strap. probably around 8-10 feet long, 2 inches wide. Came with the boat, never had any issues with it, works great.

If you have the part number I would check Ebay first. If nothing comes up I'd try contacting a marine salvage place or a marine dealership. You would more than likely pay more at a marine dealership, but chances are if they have it, it would be OEM. I know there are also a few places out there on the internet that sell aftermarket replacements too. Hope this helps!

Thank for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, I think some upgrades are definitely needed!

Well mainly gravity and friction. Since their removable they all fit like a tight jigsaw puzzle. They use random supports and the original bench seats to keep all of them fastened to the boats hull. (this might get confusing but maybe you can find parts in the video that show these better.) There are two bench supports on the middle seat. The front deck has two notches cut into it where these supports slide in and keep the front deck from moving back and forth. The side console is notched between both the front and back decks, as well as the sides of the original bench seats. the back deck uses the furring strips mounted underneath it to bunk up along side the back bench seat to prevent it from moving around. I hope this was somewhat understandable. The whole think is overcomplicated but it kinda has to be to retain the "removeable" feature.

Yep, it looked great for the better part of 3-4 months but started to lose a lot of its gloss shortly after. I think if a guy wanted to really get it right, a spray gun with some automotive or marine grade equivalent paint would be best.

On rough waters it is a little interesting. We have had a 220lb friend on a lake with 4 foot whitecaps and as long as the boat is ballasted correctly the chop doesn’t send water over the side, it’s the wind that does. I do have my anchor and battery routed up to the front deck to ballast the nose down to help with getting on plane. We have had three guys in the boat, all about 150lbs plus the battery, two motors, and gear and we did manage to bury the nose in a two foot wave. This is a really good question and I hope this has been helpful. I will definitely touch more on this next week in a video walkthrough of the boat.

Didn't you hear? He used 2x2's

Fax

The decking has been holding up very well but the paint started to fade again. Not sure if the fading is from winterization or regular use but other than that everything is holding up just fine.

@@MissionForFishing thats good to hear. I'll probably wait to start on mine till winter. I'm in missouri and its hot right now. keep up the vids.

By that time prices on wood and materials should have hopefully dropped too! Good Luck!

They weren't there to hold the camera, but I can tell you they got an earful when it was finished lol

@@MissionForFishing atta boy. I'd be hot!

It depends on what editing software you use. For my purposes I use Davinci Resolve where its referred to as a "speed change". I've also used premier pro in the past. The only downside is you need a beefy computer setup to watch it back real time which is a necessity. Otherwise if you know you want to speed up a specific shot before filming you can always set up a time-lapse which is much easier to manage in post production and is done on the camera itself.

My grandpa actually built that trailer himself from an old camping trailer and sold it to me with the boat. If your looking for a trailer I’d check Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, or a junkyard. Chances are it probably won’t be in great condition but it’s nothing that some hard work can’t fix. And if your looking at where to start I have two trailer restoration videos up on the channel.

Sure do, but this is my 12 foot Lund. I sold my 14 foot alumacraft over a year ago. Loved that boat, it was just about the perfect size for a everything-you-need type boat that could fish two people comfortably. Recently bought something for bigger water so I’ll have another project soon. Good luck with your build, that’s a great boat to build off of!
