In the first episode of season 4 of Florida Sportsman's Project Dream Boat, two boats are in the spotlight. First, the team takes on a 34' Venture Customization project, owned by a passionate angler who is looking to turn his boat into a fishing machine. The team's challenge is to create a boat that can handle various fishing situations while remaining comfortable for long trips.
The first task for the Dream Boat team is to design a custom T-top that not only provides shade but also supports an impressive array of fishing gear, including a set of custom outriggers, multiple rod holders, and a rocket launcher. The team also needs to upgrade the electronics to include a state of the art sonar system, and GPS that can handle the most challenging offshore conditions.
The interior of the boat is equally impressive, with a full galley and sleeping quarters that can accommodate four fishermen. The Dream Boat team decided to install a custom tackle storage system, including a custom baitwell to ensure that the boat is ready to fish at a moment's notice. The result of the team's work is a boat that is not only comfortable for long trips but also fully equipped for any fishing situation.
The second boat featured in this episode is a classic 1986 24' Hewes Redfisher, owned by another passionate angler. The boat is in bad shape and needs a complete restoration from the ground up. The first task for the Dream Boat team is to replace the deck and transom of the boat, which has suffered significant damage due to years of use.
The team then works on the boat's electrical system, installing new wiring, and LED lighting to give the boat a modern look. A new center console is installed, which includes a custom tackle storage system, as well as a new sonar system, and GPS. The team also restores the boat's original Yamaha outboard motor, which needed significant work to get it back to full capacity.
The interior of the boat is one of the highlights of the restoration, with custom upholstery and a new teak deck that provides a sleek and modern look. The boat's classic Hewes red and white color scheme is retained, but with a modern twist. The result of the team's work is a restored classic boat that is not only beautiful but also fully equipped for any fishing adventure.
In conclusion, season 4 of Florida Sportsman's Project Dream Boat begins with an exciting episode that features two boats that are given new life by the Dream Boat team. The 34' Venture Customization and the classic 1986 24' Hewes Redfisher are both transformed into boats that are not only beautiful but also fully equipped for any fishing adventure. The episode showcases the skills and experience of the Dream Boat team as they take on one of their most challenging projects to date. Fans of the show are in for an exciting season.
