Quickly becoming probably my favorite channel on YouTube. Entertaining and informative. I’m 16 and am probably like how you were growing up 😂. I love being on the water more then anything. I had a 1436 in Lake Ontario it’s not quite enough boat for the waves lmao

OMG, I FINALLY FOUND HER!!! Good ole fiberglass and wood. Look at all that open space!! Heavy for her size but rides like an old Cadillac. Dude drove her to the Bahamas!!! One of these WILL be mine. Just under 14’. Putt put through the springs, inshore, lakes. Shallow draft. Look at that wood trim!! Just enough! Lil’ Bimini for shade and rain. Big ole deck to fish or let Maggie have space. I love it. I am finally done searching!

I truly love your videos, if you could do camping and catch and cook videos. That would be amazing. I can't wait to see, the happy person with their skiff.

There’s a lot more to that skiff than meets the eye, thanks for explaining. Love the general use bow line that’s too short to foul the prop!

Also, would love a outboard video. Gotta love the OMC smokers!

Man, I love the channel. I've reconditioned 3 boats now. One I bought cheap, the others I literally drug out of the woods but you give me a ton of info on ins and outs. I want to try and cross the stream in one next and your to blame. I love it. Awesome ideas. Keep up the great work. I recommend this channel to all my

I would love to see a video of you locating a motor and a skiff! When I watched your video of you crossing to the Bahamas, it inspired me to do the same. It has always been my dream to make that crossing and I’ve always thought my 19ft CC was too small. Keep making these videos my friend!! I’ll be watching and liking!
