That was fun...

😂😂😂 I was waiting for an actual professional, then Norm showed up. Comedy gold

She’s gonna be so bad for you

Having rebuilt my boat when you are buying Resin from the store, always pop the top off of it and make sure BOTH of the tubes of hardener is there. People come in and steal them

1/2” is all you need. Buy your foam/resin online as well as chip brushes. If you really want to use treated wood make sure you give it weeks to dry out. Or the glass will delaminate

Love watching these restoration vids i can already see you badge and davy slaying fat sallys on it🔥🎣🎣🎣

Man I’m so happy to see you and Norm back together again on your channel. I never saw Norm joining the squad as even an option. What a great addition to the team. I went way back and watched you guys together when Noah was around too and to see it come back full circle is amazing. Can’t wait to see the boat project completed. Looking forward to watching the journey.

Thanks for sharing. Glad Norm gave his approval. Can't wait for the next one. Stay safe

I love how everyone is trying to help & not scared to get down & dirty keep up the awsome work lojo

Lojo: "Hey Badge, I bet I can restore a boat quicker than you"

All that old fiberglass should have been ground down first with a grinder . That new stuff won’t stick to Un-ground older fiberglass. May last a little while but it will delaminate over time. You need a rough ground surface for it to adhere

Nice job brother! I see great things in the future! Norms "investment" analogy about killed me, I laughed so hard! KILLER!🤘

Looking good, Glad to see people learning new things!! Good job!!!

This is great! Good job! Saw another boat build and the person laid the deck, cut holes in it and then poured the foam. He kept the cut out pieces for the holes and put them back in place after the foam expanded. Keep up the good work!

Lojo you are doing a great job on this boat, good you have a Subscriber helping you that has done this before, Jay Thank you for helping LoJo out Think After this is done Lojo and you need to do a video of both of you fishing out of the Boat

Great job man. I’d be like norm no idea what to do next but you actually made it look do able.

You should look into having closed cell foam sprayed in that boat mu man, it doesnt hold any water/moisture and I know when I sprayed it on the inside of barns, it makes the structure 300% stronger, just trying to help out

Always love to see the boat videos. Thanks for keeping the great content coming!

As a boat builder i find this so funny to watch 😂 in my opinion id say you should have popped the cap off the top and completely redo the whole deck . Plus you would've had access to the transom

That boat professional you brang in was legit!! 🤦‍♂️ freaking norm is a funny dude!! Keep the boat videos floating lojo 👍

love these restoration vids. can't wait to see it finished.

Let's go Lojo. Your gonna get it bro. Awesome video by the way. Can't wait for the finished product

Wow, coming along great. Norm the man.

That was great to hear it's moving on smoothly and that you are getting your hands dirty doing fiber glass work plus have Norm try it I'm excited for the next update amazing video as always I can't wait for the next one

Great progress on the boat!!! One question though, wouldn’t the stringers run all the way up and down the boat under the cap? Wouldn’t you need to replace the stringers under the front and rear deck?

Great job on the Stringers 😎

You’re doing a phenomenal job LOJO, keep up the good work! Loving these boat builds episodes! ~ Manny ~ 🤙🏼

I love your videos. I've been watching you from back in the kayak days

Can we talk about the hottie in the teal hoodie! 😉 Coming along nicely guys!!

Norm is rockin the pick up game hard! 🤣🤣🤣

So satisfying to watch these boat project videos! Great work on the videos lately the quality is 🔥🔥

Great video helps us looking for boats what to look for thanks lojo

Awesome episode Brotha ✊🏼🧐😎🤙🏼!! The boat build is coming along nicely, keep em coming 💪🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Sup lojo. So far so good! Time for foam then wiring🤞.

Love the content dude, keep it up and don’t give up on that boat, you got this, if ayo can do it so can you

Man, I love this series

LOJO, check out TotalBoat's marine closed cell foam insulation. It comes in different weights but the 2lb foam is perfect for general insulation throughout the hull. Be warned though, reaction time is about 30-45sec and the 2lb expands by like 300-500% by volume! Pour quick and stand back! Trim off the excess once it cures. 👌

Love the boat build. I'm glad you are still doing the work yourself at least most of it. Keep grinding.

You ayo and norm have helped rediscover my love for fishing and makes me want to start my own videos. Is Googan planning on producing their own reels?

The foam is only there to keep it floating if it capsizes. It doesn't add to the buoyancy of the boat. Kitty Litter will work wonders in drying out the hard to reach areas. Put it in there, vacuum it out. Repeat.

And typically if you want to seal treated lumber you should let it weather for 6 months minimum or it won’t take the sealer well and the chemicals they treated the wood with originally will try to seep out from under.

Norm described “investment” like a 90’s “Got Milk” commercial.🤣

Love it keep them coming. I lock myself in my room everytime your vids comes on. My wife always ask why? SSSHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

When you foam the floor, go ahead and install the plywood to the stringers. Then go to U.S composites and order your foam. Then use a hole saw to put holes in the floor but save the holes. Pour the foam inside the holes and hold the cores over the holes as the foam comes up. After all foam is poured, glue the plugs back Then tab and lay glass over the floor

Lojo really enjoy the content man think your doing a great job on the boat build! Keep it going sir can't wait to see the finished product!

You think that cost is rough. I am replacing a 15 x 20 deck and OH BOY. I got to give you guys mad props. This is a really big job and you are are going head on, nice job.

Should go with high density foam for core and for stringers used coosa board , definitely would’ve cut all old glass out and done it correctly used epoxy instead of poly and vacuum bagged your repair areas that way the first wake or wave you hit it doesn’t delaminate beneath your feet good luck man

Keep on pushing Lojo. You're doing great. Fun content.

I live right up the road and have experience fixing up aluminum boats and with outboards if you need help I’ve bought and fixed up then sold a few in my day. Love you and the boys! God bless

Norm looked like Davy Gravy when he was in the boat shaking his legs

Loving these boat overhaul videos.

Very cool. I actually learned something. I thought stringers we're only a couple inches thick did know they were 1x 6.

I've been bingeing the channel and loving the vids. I realize it's not a huge deal but pls lower the blade on the table saw so it just gets through the piece. I found myself holding my breath watching that blade spin away as you cut, lol. Please be safe and keep on fishing.

Hell yeah. My boat is coming along nicely.

I frame houses for living lumber prices are deff high at the moment and FYI lol floor joist stringers are for stairs u the man lojo

Oscillating saws work great for fiberglass cutting, well worth the investment. Also, get chip brushes from a harbor freight if you need to throw them away.

Amazing content keep it up. Bro it’s coming together nicely. Great work.

LOJO!!! DAMN PROUD OF YOU SON!!! YOUR DOIN IT!!! Seriously this is fantastic, you diven in committed to the project. Not necessarily knowing what your doin but seein it through. Outstanding, what an example for those young guys who had nobody to show them how to do stuff. Sometimes it takes FAITH, some big brass ones and not being afraid of failure. Some guys might not have the money, but if anybody has what your showin, than anything is possible. Even for Norm.

Love the boat resto! Keep it coming bro, from UK 🇬🇧

The true build back better plan. Good job. I love hard work I could watch it all day.

I would stick with the three-quarter inch . Me and my dad anytime we replaced a floor in a boat that’s what we used just to be on the safe side . I’m very interested in seeing we’re this project gos . Keep up the good work brother . Going to be an awesome boat when it’s done .

the part that scares me is what did the wood in the front and back of the boat that you didnt expose look like.

Learning teaching and entertainment idk what more you can ask from a project boat besides the memories yet to come ? Love seeing big bearded men pop up on my subscriptions👀

I resined my hottub jets closed to make a pond out of it...them fumes are magical lol

Y'all made that look fun and interesting! Can't wait to see what she looks like when Y'all are done with it. Norm really hit the nail on the head with his analogy of the girl in the gym. I'm still laughing

Excited to see how this all goes. I’ve definitely learned a few things as I’m sure you did during this project. Can’t wait for the next video!

Resin doesn’t stick good on treated wood cause the wood is wet. Kiln dried Doug fir fir stringers. Also, for transom. There’s a new pour in transom with good reviews. I’ve seen a few videos of it online

Cant wait to see more.... wish u guys would all get jon boat shells and build boats from the ground up then vote whos is the best

ill be honest, as a viewer, id love to see some positivity and enthusiasm towards the future of this boat. Thats what is going to bring me back for future videos. Your first few words of this video described the aura of your last few videos in regards to this boat, seemingly describing it as impossible. Just my thoughts as someone who wants to see this project succeed. Love the channel my man. Also, hit me me up if you'd like to indulge in some content possibilities including some 50-90lb spoonbill. Sight fishing in a shallow narrow river. Exciting stuff.

Looks great i learned alot i have to do the same thing to my boat.thanks for the video 😎

Keep these videos up! I’m getting ready to do the same to my boat…father in law passed and I got his rotten boat from him I can’t wait to start on it

I redid the bottom of my boat on time, we redid all the stringers with pressure treated 2 x 6 and fiberglass them in place and then for the deck I use starboard, star Road probably be really expensive right now.

what about the rotten stringers leading to the bow and stern??? if you put fresh wood in there with rotted ends its just going to rot out again, you really need to pop the cap off and get all up in there, i know its a lot more work, but better to do it 100% right than half ass it, this is like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

What about the stinger pieces under the rear and front deck? Those look good. I like the water seal and the 3/4 plywood too. Good idea.

"Oh no... I wedged myself in with the... It just keeps coming!" Didn't know that Lojo was moonlighting as a step-bro actor. hahaha

Awesome to watch

Norms introduction 😂

So I can not believe how much wood costs these days. During covid shut down I was bored and remembered I knew how to do wood projects from high school wood shop. SO I started doing wood projects and yes wood was starting to go up in price. Also plexiglass is real high in price right now too.

10:47 For a second I thought your table was moving lmao.

This boat should be painted Googan Green and have all the members sign on it somewhere that would be super cool.

Love the videos man! Seriously great job and awesome content.

Look for a online pdf called west systems boat rebuilding. It's based on using epoxy resin, which I think is superior to poly resin, but the ideas and how to approach thing are good and solid. Its the basis I used for my rebuild and now it's better than new

I have been waiting for this video and was so excited when I got the notification!!

I am totally enjoying this series! Please keep this going, you are giving me so much insight to this that I am looking for my own project bass boat now 😎

Norm is a genius with the ladies

17:35 Norm’s big girl analogy was 👌🏼

loving the new content dude

Take all the time you need dude. More time means more videos for us. Even if it's baby steps, I'm going to watch every one!

Nice repair for a first-timer. Norm was not easy on it. She's gonna be a beauty and I hope you give her back to the man that gifted her to ya. He would flip and that's great content

Hope you remembered to seal your cut ends on the lumber....

This video Definitely help with anxiety just keep a person calm

I have a concern. I just saw the base get fiberglassed to the floor, if in the future someone wants to separate them there will be an issue. Remember that in the previous episode the pro said that they are separate pieces. having the ability to remove the top section to work on the transom, could be an issue that can't be fixed without major demolition unless redone now. 16:18

Glad to see your a Lowe’s kinda guy lojo. I was a little worried you might shop at Home Depot but I’m ecstatic to see otherwise!

Love the Googan attire you got on. Maybe the wife will buy it for me one day.

Looking good!!!!!👊🏻 Great team work!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

Norm- "Just be nice to the big girl in the gym, cause she's gonna be bad one day" A man ahead of his time

This help me out, I'm also doing a boat rebuild too on a 1985 bass hawk with a mercury 150hp xr2

Man it’s a great day when any googan member post, gets me excited to see what’s happened, just picked up the all black googan trucker at and a mondo box

Your absolutely killing it! It’s going to look sick I wish it was mine!

Good job guys
