  I finally figured out... it's way easier to watch somebody on YouTube rebuild a boat than it is to do it yourself! Faster too!!!!

  I’m so used to being in poor people boats I didn’t even realize a FLOOR was a requirement for a little john boat. I just try not to roll my ankles on the little rails 😂

  Crazy how the boat is cheaper than that one sheet of marine plywood.

  As an electrician, I would’ve totally said black is hot. White is neutral just off the top of the dome😂😂, i love your videos keep it up!

  I would glue the transom together <b>before</b> waterproofing. That wood glue isn&apos;t doing much at all because it can&apos;t penetrate the wood, since it was sealed. If it IS doing a good job of gluing, then the sealant doesn&apos;t work. Wood glue is water based and needs to suck into the wood to do it&apos;s job properly.<br><br>Also, the wiring on the LEDs isn&apos;t backwards, they just used the color code for AC instead of DC. For some stupid reason, black is positive in AC wiring, white is neutral. If the wiring doesn&apos;t have red on it, assume that black is hot.

  Ive finally made kinda of a business but I’ve known what to do, if you want to get deep down in cleaning use oven cleaner it will suck up all the dirt and grime then simply rinse it off with the water. If you see what spot on it it’s just calcium from it that has dried going there and scrub those white spot and they’ll go away

  Hey Boat Busters! I am 15 years old and you are a big inspiration. I have acquired 2 free boats. One of them is a 13&apos; fishing boat that I had to patch a leak and fix the transom, got a non-running Johnson 9.5 and now I have a sick fishing boat. The other one is a fiberglass &quot;speedboat&quot; from the 70s with an Evinrude 18 that i am going to start work on soon. I absolutely love your content.

  The jungle website lights aren&apos;t wired backwards, they&apos;re made for trailers. White is ground for all trailer wiring I&apos;ve ever encountered. So for future assistance, always check your powered appliance wiring direct to battery before you install and run wires so you don&apos;t have to troubleshoot.

  Aluminum hull for $500. Seems like a steal from the beginning. Nice work.

  Sad to see that BASS decal come off. Takes me back to my childhood! Thanks for all the great minor tips you throw in. Great info about the old Johnsons. Nice buildout!
