We built this boat and for you we broke down the steps with the time spent on each step
0:04
The materials used, the parts where and how we got them, how much we paid for them, and how much they are worth
0:09
I got this boat for free and it was given to me by a friend of mine. Obviously, it was in horrible condition and it did come with an engine that was locked up and unusable that I ended up throwing away
0:18
It also came with some usable and crucial items that saved me some serious coin
0:23
including a Bay Star steering cylinder with the steering hoses used value being around 42999
0:30
as well as this aluminum transom plate, roughly worth $100. The trailer, which as is, was worth maybe $300
0:36
this JL Audio head unit worth about 127.49, and two 77 JL audio speakers worth about $34999
0:46
Our first step was to pick up the boat, get it derrigged, remove the floor and the transom section
0:52
and then dig out all of the phone. This took roughly eight hours
0:55
Then we ground down the transom and got that prepared for fiberglass, as well as the lip
1:00
the deck was going to go in the deck and got everything prepared for fiberglass, which took about
1:04
another 12 hours. Then the next step was fiberglassing and installing the transom, the deck piece
1:10
spacers, and cleaning up the transom section, which was another 12 hours. For the materials that we
1:15
used, we had some fiberglass mat that I had from previous projects worth about $42.86. Some woven
1:22
1708 fiberglass. I had that again from a previous project worth about $39.99. Some Cusa pieces from a
1:29
previous project worth about 50 bucks, the transom coring I bought from my friend that does fiberglass
1:35
for $200 worth about $200. Then I used about five gallons of resin that I paid the fiberglass
1:41
friend for $150 that was worth about $27799, the MEP I had that worth about $998, and some collodial
1:50
silica. I had that again from a previous project worth about $2199. Then we went on to building
1:56
the spacers that go under the deck and support the deck, getting the deck in the deck, installed into the boat that took about another eight hours. Then the next thing was to fiberglass
2:04
that transom section and the deck into place and get all that cleaned up, which was another
2:09
eight hours, and then installing the deck drain and foaming the boat that was four hours
2:14
and grinding and leveling out the deck took about another eight hours. And just to thank you
2:19
for all your support that helps us keep bringing you these videos, we have a massive Thanksgiving
2:23
sale going on right now at born again boatinghop.com. We used about two gallons of foam. That was
2:28
135-76. Again, I bought that from the fiberglass guy. Faring filler, 407. I had that from a previous
2:36
project worth about 7199 The Bondo I had that from a previous project 1899 And then the sanding pads I went through about worth of them that I got from Home Depot Then we got to sanding and fairing out the entire boat including building the console piece and the light pieces that we had to custom make for the underwater lights to go in on the front of the boat
2:57
That took about another 24 hours. And then we primed the boat, which only took us about three hours to spray the primer
3:03
And then we had to fare the entire boat with the putty after the primer
3:07
that was about 16 hours and then sainted the whole boat and sprayed the paint which was about another
3:13
six hours the materials that we used then was one gallon of primer that i purchased for a hundred
3:19
dollars again everything that i got fiberglass wise i got from my fiberglass friend that was worth about
3:24
16602 then the epoxy for the primer i paid about 50 dollars it was worth about 6055 i used a half a gallon
3:33
of the paint that i paid a hundred dollars for whereas you could buy a gallon of the primer i paid a hundred dollars for whereas you could buy a
3:37
gallon of it for 28499. The paint converter was 50 bucks worth about 6444. The glazing putty tubes
3:46
I used two of them for about $70. They were $7198. And then the Evercoat Puddy was worth about
3:53
50, 52. Installing the rub rail took about four hours. I got that from Taco Marine. It was worth
3:59
about 24999. Building the starboard pieces where the speakers go and installing the rigging tube took about
4:07
four hours. The PVC rigging tube was $16 from Home Depot. The brackets were $8 from Home Depot. And then the
4:14
paint that I used to spray paint the PVC tubing, I got that from Home Depot for $9.98. Now, when it came to repairing the bottom of the boat
4:23
that took me about 20 hours to do from the grinding, the sanding and cleaning everything out
4:29
putting on the barrier coat, and then actually bottom painting the whole boat. The bottom paint
4:34
I had that from a previous project. I used about a half gallon, $100,000. $150 value, the barrier coat. I had to buy that online for $45.88. Then it went on to repairing the engine and making it functional, which I spent way too much time and way too much money on this engine that I got for free than I should have. I ended up spending about 24 hours on fixing it and getting it running the way it should be
4:59
If you're doing it, stop it. Get some help. And then hanging it and installing the drain tube and the rigging with the stock
5:07
hearing took me about another eight hours so the engine again i got it for free i pulled it from the
5:12
trash it had no value to it the service that i did on it i spent about three hundred dollars got all the
5:17
parts from the marina that included oil filters fuel filters spark plugs oil gear loop drain seals impeller all that stuff the fuel pump i had to replace on it I got that from Amazon for 3631 This is where the real problem came into play
5:34
I'm not 100% on this, but supposedly the OEM mercury pump that cost about $750
5:39
only pulls like two and a half three amps. And the aftermarket that I bought for 3681 pulls like 5 amps
5:48
The trouble is the ECM is what supplies the power to this
5:52
So because the aftermarket pump pulled more amps, it ended up frying the ECM that if I would have bought brand new, would have cost $1,200
6:03
And so I then had to add a relay that I had from a previous project that was worth about $35
6:09
And that relay now supplies the voltage to the fuel pump and the ECM controls the relay
6:16
Again, a free engine ain't really free. I also had to put a fuel cooler on there, $82
6:21
got that from eBay 817. An IAC sensor, $166.00, got that from eBay for $165.56. The propeller I bought from
6:31
PropTech for $100. The paint, I had that from a previous project that I painted the whole engine with
6:36
That was $10.22. The steering bracket that I needed to get to attach to the steering cylinder was $33.68. I got that from
6:44
the marina. The control box, I ended up paying $300 for that because I got the hookup, which had a value of about
6:51
$400. I got that Transomplate powder coated locally for $40. The control cables I paid $60 for
7:00
Got the hookup on those because they're worth about $100. And then the flush mount helm
7:05
I also had that from a previous project worth about $600. The 11 inch custom steering wheel
7:12
I bought from Amazon for $4890, the fill port for the flush mount helm. I had that. It was worth about $49.99
7:21
And then I used two quarts of steering fluid that I had worth about $10, $5 a bottle for ATF
7:28
Now, when it came to rigging the boat and all the electronics, I spent about 28 hours, putting all the electronics in, running all the wires, hooking everything up, testing everything, and getting everything the way it should be
7:40
I bought a lot of the stuff from Amazon. I had a lot of the stuff from previous projects
7:44

8:50
I ended up getting online for $70. I had the sealant worth about $20. Drain plug, I also had that
8:56
worth about $7.99. The drain tube, I bought that for $1799 from the marina. The trailer. The trailer
9:04
tie-down eyes I bought locally for 2998. The clamshells that I used all over the boat in three places
9:12
those were 3567 from Amazon. The heat shrink connectors, I had those from a previous project
9:18
worth about $30. I put a builds fuse for the automatic float switch, got that from the marina
9:24
$9.59, got that from the marina. And then the breaker for the amplifier was $43 and $3.30
9:34
And I bought that from Amazon. Now when it came to getting the trailer all fixed and working
9:39
It didn't have a title with it so I had to go through the DMV had to repair it get it all fixed go through a whole process with the DMV that I'll explain in just a minute and all that took about 16 hours to do the parts I got most of them from the marina the jack was 5435
9:54

10:04

10:13
The bunk brackets were 6288, got those from the marina. And then the registration title issues where I had to show all the receipts to the DMV, give pictures of the trailer and all the repairs that I did to the DMV
10:26
The sawdust quiets the gears and lets the engine run as sweet as a nut for a couple of miles. Also take the trailer and get it wait
10:34
and take the certified weight slip to the DMV to get a title for the trailer
10:40
All that ended up being about $80. And then the bullying netter lights with all the receptacle, the wire, the sockets, PVC
10:46
all that stuff, that whole assembly, got a whole video on that coming out. That ended up costing about $60 and taking about three hours
10:53
So yes, I spent way too much time and way too much money on this boat
