[guydude]

That’s my dad! He did so well to restore this boat and it’s so much fun out on the boat we’re going out again tomorrow can’t wait! Well done Dad and I’m so proud of you! Love you Xxx

I’ve just bought a 535 down Sussex way she’s ready to run but requires some love and car.

I am Absolutely lost at this point 😆on where to start or what to use etc et. but that’s the whole point in the journey of a project

Where did you source the new black Rub Tail from?

[magicalscotland]

Very cool, you done amazing job. What material glass did you instal?

Love tiny half cabins!!! Great for day fishing near the coastline, and good for a night sleeping for two when it's not too cold. Trailerable with no problems, cheap, great fishing space, what else? But a boat like that... well, it's a nightmare :-P

Старый штурвал красивее был, надо было его отреставрировать и оставить, мужик!

[Kameroad]

Well done. I was also a owner of such a boat. But it was after restoration stolen 😢. So be careful

An excellent job mate, very well done indeed! I hope you're proud. I've got one question regarding the captain's seat, how do you see from where you're sitting? Is it a perspective thing or do you have to stand to Pilot? Just wondering but again fantastic job I bet you and the family are going to get a lot of fun with that. Cheers!

Hey is it possible to fixed the rubber for the windows with Sikaflex 522 ? A big wave crashed infront of my Shetland 535 an the window not hold and get inside so a lot of water comes in ? Thanks

Such a nice looking boat and quite a transformation! I've just bought my first boat and have been looking for inspiration / motivation to get it ready for the coming spring / summer. It's a 14ft day boat from Carrick Marine and has been sat unused for a good few months. I really wanted something with a small cabin (like yours) but this was too good a deal to pass by. Anyway, first challenge is going to be reversing the trailer onto our driveway so that I can start off by giving it a thorough jet wash!

Truly Outstanding In Every Respect!

Not only did you save the boat, you transformed it beyond expectations!

Your hard work produced a beautiful outcome, thank you for sharing, your video will inspire others to consider saving an old boat and bringing it up to seaworthy condition. Subscribed.

What an awesome boat! really cool lines, is it a 18 footer? good job! I have a 22 foot w/chevy 350 in it I might restore!

Awesome boats and a fantastic save, turned out beauty! By this time (of my post) you should be sitting on a nice sunny beach picnicking with the crew with a few adventures under yer belt :)

What a awesome transformation I like to see it out on the water

[ezeebop]

Nice work. Gave me some good ideas. Next, how about dong up that caravan in the background.

[rickgomm]

Man I would love to find a boat identical to that I've looked around at all kinds of boats and that one would be perfect for what I can you tell me the make and model of that

[davidballenger]

Super cool boat! Great work man I love it!

I have had 5 Shetland 535's over the years and they are great boats, well done on doing the windows properly and keeping the steering wheel in the correct position, they are both much better done as standard.
All you need is the windscreen on the top now! 😊
