Any time I want to know the "best practices" for a particular boating-related task, THIS is the channel I check in with first. Superb, top-shelf ways to build are a hallmark of this channel!

Few boat channels promote this prep-work that ends up being the difference between builds/repairs that last and others that just become money pits. Great video gang! Let’s go fishing 🎣!

I am not a boat builder, but by watching this channel i built a six foot fiberglass over foam bird mascot for our local ball program. It turned out very well thanks to your professional instruction.

Captain Joe always packs a ton of knowledge into each video!

I'm doing a 2001 2100DC ANGLER. It is a wood free hull! It has a fair amount of gel coat cracking that I want to fix. The first thing I need to explore is the fuel tank, so thanks for these videos.

Hi Captain Joe!

Interesting! I never really thought about epoxy coating an aluminum tank before... Definitely the mark of top quality workmanship!

Take care and all the best from California!🧡

Your videos are truly fascinating. They demonstrate not only excellent mastery of the products but also of their application, all while offering great ideas.

A huge thank you for sharing your expertise and for the quality of your videos.

Many thanks again from France.

Your channel really should have 1 million subscribers as anyone who deals with boat building/restoration, fiberglass, epoxies, mold building, waterproofing, auto-body repair etc. can learn from your experience and knowledge. I see more and more people appreciating older vintage boats that in the past were left to rot or simply thrown away It would be cool to see you and your brother, son etc. do a restoration/resto-mod on an old vintage out-board speed boat and give it another life. There are more cool boats that need to be rescued than there are people willing to take the time and expense to put into them.. Every one that is done is one more giving a few more years of enjoyment to the owner.

I'm hoping to refresh an older aluminum tank exactly like this this week. I'm attempting an old jet boat rebuild which includes some hull work and it's all because of watching your videos

I’m finally starting work on my 1997 backcountry 201 pro guide. It needs everything you’ve covered in your videos😂. I think I’ve watched all of them multiple times preparing for what’s in store. I wouldn’t even attempt if it wasn’t for your videos so I want to thank you!

I just finished refurbishing a 2012 alumacraft 185 competitor, new transom and floors all with blue water 26 Coosa. It was the first time using coosa and I can’t be more pleased with how well it can be worked with regular woodworking tools.
