Top Cap Off! Budget Restoration 40-Year-Old Bass Boat (Part 1)

Is this 40-year-old Procraft a total loss or a hidden gem? Welcome to the first episode of our newest series on Tiny Boat Nation! We’re kicking off a complete, budget-friendly DIY restoration of a 1986 Procraft Bass Boat. This legend has seen better days, but we’re determined to bring it back to life without breaking the bank. In this video, we’re diving straight into the deep end. We strip the boat down to the bare bones and tackle the most nerve-wracking part of any fiberglass restoration: removing the top cap. Once that cap comes off, there's no turning back—and what we found underneath might be more than we bargained for. This is going to be a long journey of grinding, fiberglass work, and custom rigging. If you love old-school bass boats and DIY grit, you’re in the right place. Subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss Part 2, where we find out if the structural rot is terminal!
