$1,500 OLD BASS BOAT RESTORATION From Craigslist! *EVA FOAM*

This is my first "Boat Build" on a 2004 Bass Tracker Pro Team 185 and honestly this HJDECK EVA Foam from Amazon completely changed the look, motivation, and mindset for this BOAT! Very Happy with this Build so far! The 90HP Mercury is a MONSTER and now we are just upgrading the boat to more modern look!

If you are contemplating this PROJECT - Just try it and learn from your mistakes! This was my first time ever using EVA FOAM and it was very simple after prepping and applying.

[Bronco]

What are dad's for haha. Can't wait for my sons to come home one day with a beat up project truck or boat haha

[youngstgeorge]

Thank you boss. You taught me how to just do it and get it done!! Now I’m starting my restoration business back home

[justus]

How will did the EVA foam hold up for you? Redoing a boat project and considering this. Reviews however are making me question this.

[ryanturner]

On the hunt for a project Bass Tracker because of this video! Love seeing the cars in all the shots as well!

[MarshallLanier-uygy]

Those rims on the trailer make a world of difference in the way the whole rig looks

[HB-ukqc]

Great video. Where did you get the aluminum wheels? I’m thinking about getting some for mine. Are those 13” or 14” five lug?

[Warr.ChaddL]

I came to the video/channel for the boat but those cars 😍

[Morganchip]

About to do this to my bass tracker and thought to my self, "there has to be a video out there of someone else doing this"... and found your video!! The details and honest opinions have saved me from my own ignorance 🙌 How has it held up in the elements?

I’m installing this foam in my boat now. TIP: a carpet knife works a lot better than a regular utility knife cutting through this foam. Stick strength is fantastic on the back of this product.😊😊😊😊

[mikefedor]

Awesome job 👍... Boat looks really nice.. I just bought one a few weeks ago... the guy just replaced the carpet.. I'm going to get seat's like yours.. Really sharp!!

[samfreeman]

Whats the name of the carpet spray you used? The boat looks great. I'm about to start replacing the carpet in my xpress bass boat. Looking at ways to keep the carpet on the sides and underneath some of the console

[prestonkaiser]

What spray did you use on the bottom of the boat to make it white again and nice cars

[Boomhauer-fuob]

Another good aluminum cleaner is purple power aluminum brighter.

I've found that ants love to crawl into the tell tale and clog it up. Some strong weedeater strings jam it in there and it'll clear it out.

[dylanrichards]

How is the foam holding up on the corners of your lids? I noticed you rolled it around from top to bottom. Did you pin it on the bottom or just let the adhesive do it’s job?

[MarshallLanier-uygy]

I would be interested to know what the top end speed is with the 90 Merc on this boat

[outsidewithrodney]

What kind of cleaner did you use on the outside of the boat?

[jessep]

Came out so clean dawg! We need to get Chris out for a boys trip asap

[jamesireland]

Really enjoy the content boat Is looking good just saw on for sale think it was around same price. Was thinking about buying it
