RACE BOAT Rebuild in Minutes START TO FINISH

I'll show you how to restore a badass race boat from start to finish, and share all the methods, tips, and tricks I learned along the way!
ALSO: Please check out my Sleekcraft SST Project, I am restoring it right now and am putting out regular updates: • Restoring a Race Boat ...
This is a 1978 Sleekcraft Aristocrat Twin Tunnel Hull, with a modified Mercruiser 260 i/o. I purchased this project boat for $1000 back in 2010, and spent a little under a year bringing it back to life, and relaunched it on June 13th, 2011.
I've now owned this boat for over 10 years, and I've created so many epic memories with friends, made a lot of new ones, and most importantly, I learned a lot of new things and gained new skills to help me tackle even crazier projects. In my opinion, restoring a boat like this is a LOT easier than tackling a project car; the steering is simple, there is no suspension, no rust, the wiring is as simple as you a basic hotrod, and the parts are cheap and plentiful. On top of that, there's generally no speed limits on the water (except for Big Cedar Lake, screw them), less law enforcement, girls are in bikinis, and everyone is in a good mood. LIFE IS GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE AN AWESOME BOAT!
Hopefully watching this will help convince people to tackle their own boat restorations; it's dirty work sometimes but it's not too complex or challenging, so please leave a message if you have any questions and I'll try to help.
If you liked this video or learned something, please check out some of my other videos and stay tuned for updates to the SST project!

Had a 1000 dollar boat fall in my lap last summer, 81 Glastron ssv 167. Me and my three sons have been slowly making improvements. Re made all the interior and fixed all the mechanical issues. We have had Dime-Boat Darrell on the water three times now and every time we find something else to improve as we go. Nothing like the memories already made with my family and this boat. Little over 2000k invested so far.

I was searching for a family boat and came across a jet boat a guy was selling during my search. Which lead me to searching on what it could be and found your video. Awesome project and awesome boat. So I like what you said. Why buy a boring boat. I am an old gear head nut and was looking at building my first hot rod. You have inspired me into thinking about building this boat instead of getting something else. This would be way too much fun. It has a V8 old school motor and a Bayjet drive. Just have to finish it. Similar to your project. Can't wait to see what you do next. Cheers.

@ADDvanced 3 жыл бұрын

Hot rod boat > hot rod car - No speed limits - Bikinis - Everyone's having a good time - No suspension work - No rust repair One thing tho, squirters are not efficient, way less efficient than a prop, so given two boats of equal size weight and shape, the prop will have a higher top speed and be more fuel efficient. They're still fun, just.... they clog with weeds really often, which is not super fun. Good luck either way!

One mans boring boat is another’s treasure. Bought a trailer for my boat and it came bundled with a free POS boat. A boring 1975, 19’ runabout with a 165 Merc I/O. Ripped out the interior, cleaned it up, tuned it up, replaced all the rubber parts on the motor. Installed 2 cheap seats and a $300 kicker and gave it to my father in law for his retirement. He loves his fishing boat. He could afford new if he wanted but that little boring boat is his treasure.

Cool boat, love the lines. I myself have seen a couple of unique boats like yours sitting on peoples properties over the years and wondered if I should buy the thing, to restore, but Im too old now to get into a full resto. However I just bought a 88 formula 272sr1. Its more of a boat to appreciate the classic look and feel, and I have always wanted a big offshore style boat, so I will have lots of fun with this one... Who cares if there expensive to run, your living your life, and that's what we are here for... Enjoy it that's a cool boat.

A little history for your boat. In your video you keep referring to it as a “twin tunnel” when in fact it does have a name. Back around the early eighties (80-81) the APBA sanctioned a class of boats called Mod VP which stands for modified V hull production. A handful of boat builders made these boats (Mod - VP) for this class, Sleekcraft, Eliminater, and Stoker to name a few. They were faster and much more stable then their V hull counterparts. Very cool boats and still popular today if you can manage to get your hands on one, rare boats. Great to see someone restoring these! Great video.
