Love how he mentions the employee's more than a few times. Good dude.

Looks like that wahoo took I bite of the upholstery!

This company is building some top notch boats. The owners 47 is just plain SICK!!!!!!!!

The cameras! Clearest images I can ever remember viewing. The 47 footer footage looked like CGI cruisng across the Ocean. Wow!

I love that boat . Can’t wait until your build is done so you can share it with us . That is super cool to be able to have it built for the comfort of your growing family . Love your videos

God those boats look incredible. The owner is a down to earth good guy. Love how he appreciates his employees. God bless love from Australia ❤

Hands down that is the most beautiful boat I’ve ever seen. The color combo and functionality is top notch

Absolutely magic…. a partnership between the best fishing/diving channel out there and the best boat manufacturer. Congrats to you Clay and Phil and all of us are in for the great videos coming. Stephanie and Keeley have their cabin! 👍🙏🏻

I love it when Clay makes new friends and brings us along for the ride! So excited to see your new boat! 2024 will be epic.

Congradulations on partnering with Frontrunner boats! I wish you both the greatest success! You sold me on the 39’ & the 47’. Amazing crafts. ❤

It’s a cloud nine moment. Such an incredible feeling getting a new boat! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Glad to see, you made it to our area of Florida. Front runner boats have a style of their own for sure. Congratulations on that new relationship.

Coosa coring changed the game from having to worry about rot damage. Because it doesn’t matter how well you seal the holes from transducers and cleats etc. water will eventually get in and with coosa coring you don’t have to worry about it.

Great news on your new boat! Front Runner seems to be a super builder with quality in mind! I cant wait to see the finished product! Love the channel!

Born and raised in Hawaii, fishing surfing diving etc., I had a custom built Force 30 flybridge for me to commercial fish around the big island where I live. I had it built in the early to mid 80's. I make my living commercial fishing, so speed was not a concern, as I typically go on 4-5 day and night long fishing trips!! I had a single diesel engine with straight shaft set up and trolling at 8- 10 knots I burned 2&1/2 gallons per hour!! Diesel was 70 cents a gallon back then ! I had insulated fish hold capacity of 6000 lbs. I just still absolutely prefer an open cockpit, so when trolling for instance, I have all the open space for leadering big ahi, and marlin, and lots of ono and Mahi Mahi etc. It's extremely important to me to have my gunnel height at the transom so at a slight crouch I can lock my thighs and knees in and under it to brace myself taking double wraps pulling leader on big gorilla ahi (200-300 lb size) and the big blue marlin Hawaii is world famous for, though I do not target big marlin for commercial fishing and the Huge "donkeys" (over 500+ lb blue marlin are all females. But since I live in kona and base out of Honokohau harbor there, I do take friends out sport fishing for fun! I've literally caught 100's of 500+lb donkeys many up to 900-1000 lbs!! Lot's, fishing by myself alone!! I just don't like light takle fishing, and having one outboard leg, or 4 huge outboard motors off the transom because you can easily have a fish tangle the leader in the props and break it off, which is no fun after fighting a big ahi for 30-45 minutes, or worse a huge Blue Marlin for 6-12 hours or more which kona is famous for!! It must really suck, but inboard engine with straight shaft is a dream wiring the huge ahi and marlin with the whole cockpit opento move around in and with experience you can learn to keep fish from diving under the hull and cutting the leader losing a fish!! So these are awesome boats, and fast of course, but with 4 huge outboard engines and gasoline, it must be crazy expensive to run, also compared to inboard diesel and straight shaft set ups, there's standard maintenance and they just purrrrr, (though loud so noise proof ing and muffled exhaust is needed) I just watched guns with Volvo penta diesel io set ups doing so much regular leg maintenance and it was very expensive for parts compared to Detroit or cat, or Cummins that just go for ever if you take care of them ! Flybridge's are awesome for a captain to be up high and back down etc on bg marlin especially cause you have a great view above deck level!! Just how the classic sport fishing boats in kona are built for fighting huge fidh!!!! I rarely fish off kona commercial fishing!!! I prefer to fish the extremely rough trade winds exposed waters off the remote areas of the Big island, where few boats go plus it takes days to reach them and get back!!! But man the materials and high tech building of hulls and vessels now looks awesome and very strong!! I have to have a self bailing deck with rubber flap covered scuppers because the huge rolling white cap seas where I fish are just so rough most of the time.!!! Kona of course is big game pelagic fishing mecca where the high volcano slopes block the prevailing trade winds and create a huge Lee of flat calm water for miles!!! Where I fish, very few boats go but the fishing is incredible and when it really gets good its world class but extremely dangerous and rough!!!! Aloha from beautiful Hawaii D.L

I love the frontrunner boats that's awesome y'all teamed up I live in Jax FL y'all went right by my home on the St John's river lol that new boat is amazing I like it way better then your last boat I didn't know they were build cats too I'm sure it's a stud of a boat keeping all there stuff in house is good they don't have to wait on nobody elses work what a wonderful company I like them even more now that we know more about there operation can't wait to see y'all out tearing up the fish is the keys or Bahamas thanks Clay and Frontrunner.

Congrats Clay! Big accomplishment and jump to Front Runner! Excited to see your hull splash soon!

Having done gel coat and fiberglass on Lanier for 12 years I love seeing the build videos

First time I got to go offshe it was a dream come true. As an East Texas farm boy I had grown up watching "The American Sportsman". I think the host was Curt Gowdy but memory fades eith the decades. So on my first trip out we went 97 miles out of Galveston to the Tequila rigs. The Captian, who was a cowworker, had us rigged out with heavy tackle and 10 ft. long piano wire leaders rigged up where there was a tag line of wire 6 inches above the hook. He threaded a squid up over the hook and hooked the top on the leader tag. It had a large lead sinker on it. He told me let it out about 20 or 30 feet and hold onto the rod. I did and quickly reeled in a hefty blue runner. I reeled it in. I was dissapointed but to be polite to the man who took me offshore for the first time. I said, well it's not that big but zI bet it tastes great.He looked at me and smiled and replied, " yeah the Amberjack love them". This time my instructions were to let the bait hit the bottom and then reel in 10 revolutions. He also said, pay attention and don't turn loose of that rod, it's very expensive. I followed instruction but after a few minutesI was distracted by the rig, the noise, and just my first trip offshore. Within only 2 or thrè minutes the rod was almost jerked out of my hands. It was a 5' boat rod and it hit the gunwales and bent in a C shape. 30 minutes or so lated we landed my first Amberjack. When I stuck my hands in it's gills and stood up to take a pic, the tail was draggging the ground. I'm only 5'10" but it was a hughe fish and I was hooked for life. Thanks Bruce.

What a great video! You can tell the boat is quality! Excited for you and Stephanie and baby!

Congrats on the new boat build! Can't wait to see the finally...

My hometown, I'm glad you got a chance to see Jacksonville and experience our fisheries! Looks like I know who see about buying my boat! Awesome video. Content was action-packed!

I’ve been watching your channel for about a year, and love it, love the cinematography some of the best on KZfaq! I especially like the last few episodes with the mix of fishing, meeting new people, cooking just nice work. Keep getting it can’t wait to see the new boat!

My son took me on a tour of a Front Runner boat and I was verry impressed.

Congratulations on the new boat! Look forward to seeing it in action!

Wow what a great boat Front Runner builds. Never seen foam core like that stiff block you were holding. Great wahoo catch! Can’t wait to see your Front Runner.

Sunrise drone footage is off the charts Clay.

Nice boat! Congrats on the new build! Glad it is a Florida grown boat! 👍👍

Great day on the water . Really like those boat . I need a bigger yard . 😊

So so so stoked to see the how the front runner fishes and handles in the future. Congrats on the new rig!

One of my favorite videos. This was awesome.

Nice boat, always great footage and camera, cant believe you jumped ship but will still watching one of the best channels out there. Congratulations

This has to be one of the most underrated videos I've seen in a while.

Beautiful lines, looks rock solid and the finish is very nice.

Great video, Clay! Probably one of the clearest, best filmed fishing videos I’ve seen on KZfaq! Nailed it man and congrats on the new sled 💪🏻

Excited to see what's next. That 47 is beautiful. He needs to bring some up to the Great lakes

Nice video. My first exposure to Front Runner Boats - Nice to hear the company owner speak from his heart about what he is building.

Another GREAT episode…wow!! Best than a cup of coffee to start Sunday 😃

I been working super hard. Haven’t had a chance to watch you guys i’m back on the groove ,congratulation on the best gift God could give us a child I have two girls. It’s a blessing wishing you guys health and the best for all, the boat you guys getting is sharp good job. Alex😎

Wow what a great vid and what great boat. I didn't realize how well built the front runner is! When I'm ready to upgrade I'm going to definitely look at the front runner!

Thats pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing. I need a boat that can be duel purpose for diving and family. Cant afford that one yet but it helps me keep looking for what I need until I can. Again thanks for sharing.

What’s up Clay. Been watching for a minute. I’m so proud to have watched you and Stephanie work your way into bigger and better things. Give us inspiration and motivation to do the things we do everyday. Love your channel bro and love watching y’all grow brother. Congrats on the young one coming. #tightlines 💪💪💪

ABSOLUTELY KILLER BOATS. LOVE THE LARGE BOW ON THE 39 FOOTER. HARD TO STUFF THAT, JUST A BEAUTIFUL BOAT. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE FACTORY AND SOME GREAT FISHING‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸

Clay ! You’re the man , I really love watching your fishing videos

That wahoo fishing looks awesome!!! I’m learning the offshore fishing here on the southeast coast of NC. I have some friends that do well here catching them but I think I need to upgrade my boat for more confidence out there! Appreciate the content, Clay! Also, hope Stephanie is doing well and can’t wait to see your family enjoying that 39 Front Runner! Prayers for you all

Man what an awesome episode, I didn’t want it to end!

Those boats are freaking amazing, awesome.

I also like the concept of building a boat with everything you need to go fishing as the base model. Super smart concept.

Interesting stuff...loved the tech stuff on building a boat

Congratulations on the baby

Wow looks like a beautiful boat. Great footage

As a Jax resident and fisher, you were in the most beautiful city in the US….wish I knew you were here, I would taken to another awesome sit-down eatery. After a full day of coastal fishing tho, first…lol..congrats on the new arrival, and congrats on a baby too! Lolololol. Enjoy the boating family.

Beautiful Boats & Neat People.😊

Love the stuff guys looking forward to see the baby

I am a fan of the channel. I live right down the street from Mayo Clinic and Love Dock Side seafood. We are there often on our boat which is at Palm Cove Marina across the intracoastal marina.

Wish I had the money to get a custom boat wheel accessible. Those look sick .

Those boats are Beasts!

Welcome to the north flow river. That brand is making waves. Only twenty minutes from me. I was there for a captains meeting for a king tournament I was volunteering for and seen some models on display. Absolute phenomenal line up. Although I just purchased a new contender in January I did consider this brand. The fit and finish looked great. Hope you enjoy the new layout. I can’t wait to get back down to your area in September. Those little football tunas are a blast.

Great episode! Now looking at Front Runner!👍👍

Phil has a great product. I have hull number 3. Great fishing boat. Continuous improvements will lead to FrontRunner to be in the top 3 fishing boats in the world, IMO>.

that first wahoo took a bite out of the lounge seat!! :)

I can't wait until y'all can do a Bahamas trip on the new boat when it's finished😄

This video is EPIC! Tonny, keep up your humbleness, success is coming your way 🙏🏻. Same for you and your family Clay, many blessings coming your way. Keep up the good work 🤝. Tailwinds

I've had the pleasure of fishing on a 33 Front Runner a few times in rough weather and I was very impressed with the ride. It was super comfortable and the build quality was very heavy duty. The only thing I would add to the boat only because I'm not super tall would be a fold down helm step to give me more visibility. If it's an option, I would definitely have them build one for you.

Really amazing job dude, Thank you for sharing your experience, it is very useful for me,,,

Wow… Front Runner boats are the Tip of The Spear. ➡️ Phil…Impressive on the building process of Front Runners. Nice job on the Wahoo. Clay You never cease to amaze on video Content . Keep ‘em coming…. Really cool watching you, Phil & crew in the action. Looking forward to seeing the Front Runner in front of your house in TAVERNIER, Clay. “Master Of The Oceans Out”

Great time and great video Clay. Can't say how much I enjoy all of your content.

Great video I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the front runners I like them hopefully in the near future I can lock down on one

Love my 36 Front Runner dude! Enjoy.

Congrats on your new partnership! Can't wait to see those adventures on your new ride!

Lets goooooo!!! your gonna love it! Best Center on the market!

The cinematic production of your vids is captivating. Been here since early on and just want to say congrats on your growth and growing family. I felt the pain at 30:24 watcing that fish tear the upholstry.

Cool to see you went to Dockside Restaurant. We’re local and Dockside is also one of our favorites. Grilled shrimp and fried okra. Yum!

Yesssssss!!!! I guessed it. I know Phil he is a good guy

This factory is insane, awesome looking boats 🔥

By the time you were catching the wahoo’s… your editing and background music really started “Realing in” my attention. Great Job, those Front Runner boats are awesome!

This is so awesome to see! Local boat builder being supported by local Florida fishermen! Glad to see you jump into a front runner and we can’t wait to see the new hull on the show. Also that 36 in the video out there fishing with y’all was my buddy. My son was out there with them that day and just saw this video and got excited to see himself on tv haha. Great video and keep on producing great content.

Nice video as always, and beautiful boat. Cant wait to see the new boat on the channel. Ignore the haters, and keep pushing foward.

Clay - what are you doing ? Now my family wants a new Front Runner. Drone - Video- Editing Epic shots! Thank you for the hard work

EPIC video Clay! Didn't know Wahoo could be eaten raw

@30:29 wahoo nicked the nice upholstery!!

Great video Clay! As always your camera work is on point.

Those drone shots of the 47... I don't fish or want a boat but it's stunning

Awesome program guys!

The St. John’s!!! I’ll be just south in Palatka next week for the Bassmaster tournament

Nice job Dominick can't wait to watch your next adventure on the water

I'm new to this channel, so I don't know if this is a video y'all have already made but if not could you make a video on how to properly clean a boat please? Could you discuss topics such as how fast you should clean a boat after it leaves salt water, what parts are important to dry off first, what products to use to clean it (for instance, do you use all-purpose cleaner or soap to clean blood spots), and maybe some tips on how to prevent or get rid of smells?

Hi Clay I met you guys at the flea market in the keys in February Came in with my wife Susy and I got shirts and hats Wow you had made a perfect way to go on your boat coming next!! That’s is no specific how to explain in words the Front Runner !!! Wow Amazing I can’t wait to have one of those one day. I tell you what I will love to get a shirt from a FRONT RUNNER to start with that!! Can you please send me how to get one or buy it. I will really appreciate it Perfect selection you did. I can’t wait to have one of those one day !!!

I think the front runner boat the 47 footer is a nice boat one of the best boat I have seen I just wish I had the money to get one I would love to show off and most of all to fish from I would really love to own that boat but for me it's just a dream 😂😂

I just found your channel, and I don't know if you've made a video on this already, but if you haven't, could you make a video on how you wash your boat please? Could you discuss topics such as how fast you should start washing off your boat after it leaves salt water, what parts of the boat are most important to dry off with first, what products to use when cleaning the boat (for example, do you use all-purpose cleaner or soap to clean blood spots), and maybe some tips on how to prevent or get rid of bad smells and mold

The fact that y'all were saying it's cold. Meanwhile, I went ice fishing for the last time of the year not too long ago in the rockies lol

Cool coffee machine on board! Must have!😂🤣😂🤣👍👍

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beautiful boats, beautiful Wahoo, great video. Ummmm, where’s Stephanie?? 😉

This boat company is a mile from my house, so glad he is growing a great business; P.S., I live 2 houses down from the Shand's Pier boat ramp when you take it for a spin !!

Those are some awesome boats wow🔥💪🏼

Congrats on the new boat. You get that Front Runner down there in the Keys. I think you are going to drive some business their way.

Another top notch video Clay. New boat should be awesome.

Just bought a new 22 foot bay boat and caught my first fish out of it Saturday, 40” bull red 😎

Nice wahoos!🎣🎣👍👍

The wahoo biting the cushion 🫠
