Iv never seen a 680 with a proper hard top iv seen other model with aftermarket top that look like crap. I can appreciate how hard it would have been to make that look like it was a factory top by far the best custom hard top iv ever seen. Usually stick out.like a sore thumb. Craftsmanship is 10/10 I actually work as a tool box fabricator so I know how hard it is to do and not to mention to do it out of a garage

Really loving the build series so much detail can really see its a labour of love. Outstanding quility awesome to see that you can build something like that in a garage.

Loving this build series guys. Interested to know how much weight this is adding to your tub. Did you do a weight comparison?
@thecapt7726 6 күн бұрын
We will do a weight comparison I dont think it will be a massive difference as the rocket launcher was stainless and quite heavy and the boat screen and frame was already 30% of what we are replacing
@thecapt7726 6 күн бұрын
Also aliminium weighs around 30% of stainless I can pick-up the frame and roof with one arm

So let me get this right the capt Design form nothing Cut up and welded his idea Primed painted to super level Made entire wiring loom and grommet frame I'm actually surprised he's not doing the trim lining work lol 10/10 job can't say iv ever seen a proper hardtop on a 680 this is going to be nuts. Ps what sort of cost will be be completed
@findingjoe 11 күн бұрын
@JasonWalsh-vi7lt I'll let tje Capt answer this but yeah basically designed the thing from the ground up. I imagine he took inspiration from other boats and made it his own. I think in the final episode we'll do a breakdown of cost.

Worse when it gets choppy. Looking forward to the progress 🛥️🎣

Ah you saw the Mustang in the background there. The two of us actually met when we both worked in the smash repair trade. The Capt learnt the majority of his skills there left them behind for a while to build houses now has came back to fabricating. Going to do a bit more hands video for the next instalment.

Hi guys new to your channel I'm a welder guy and this video popped up. I must say there is no way that the capt is a home hobbiest what is his back ground no one just picks up a tig and welds aliminium like that and can polish the welds with such perfection that is crazy I see high level car builders that can't achieve that level of sheet metal.
