    This boat turned out amazing! I have a hard time staying with sailing RUclipsrs that switch back and forth between the types of content they can put out.
    That being said, I haven’t missed a video since they were on Adrenaline. Doesn’t matter what they are up too, Billy and Sierra make anything interesting and fun to watch. This new boat is no exception! What a beautiful remodel!

    Great job restoring that old boat. I have a soft spot for keeping old, but usable things in service. Much better to repair / renovate than always buy new.
    After watching your re-fit and repair, I would have no qualms about buying that boat from you. (If I could afford it...) Their are times when good enough work is more practical than perfection. An old boat like this one is a great example for "good enough". By the way, painting the galley white was a good call, it makes it bright instead of dingy. When it was new, that probably was not a problem.
    Enjoy the boat and your travels with it.

Just to start a new life sailing and eventually becoming a Captain, to charter trips from my home town of Sarasota Fl. To key west. Thanks for being AWSOME!!!

    Whoever buys that boat will have the world's best video record of the restoration! As you headed North, did you nod your head towards Depoe Bay on the central Oregon coast, the boat's original transom hailing port? I'm sentimental that way, plus I've spent many a summer day at Depoe Bay!

It's been an enjoyable transformation journey for me. Chuck

    We all had the opportunity to watch this transformation but until you got to the Puget Sound and have had the time to really organize and clean her up, the miracle was not quite as obvious as it is now! We know YOU love it, and now you know that WE love it, too! It is still a little hard to fathom the extent of what you two have accomplished! The previous owners have got to be overjoyed that you have saved their dear boat!

    @MichaelBuck 2 года назад +1

    Excellent review of all the hard work you both have put into this boat flip project. You bought her for $100, put a year of work into refitting and revitalizing her and now we all are wondering how much will you be selling her for. Its kind of funny as I recall when you bought her you stated it would be about a 4-5 month refit process and here we are 1 year later, lol. It alwasy takes longer than you expect with these things.
    Will you be doing a cost analysis for this refit? I am guessing you put in $50-75K and will be asking ~ $150K-200K when you list her. I guess you all end up making 150K to go towards the new Seawind catamaran, which should be almost ready for you all to pick up this spring. Looking forward to the next adventure soon!

  • @archstanton9206
    @archstanton9206 2 года назад +1

    You guys did a fantastic job on a boat that absolutely deserved to be rescued. Been with you since Adrenaline as well, and I agree...you make every project interesting and, in the process, I think you give other folks who may not have had the life skills you guys have a path to learn...this can be done!
    I've had my go fast boats and Tournament Ski boats, but I still remember my first time on a trawler as a kid. I think they are underappreciated by younger folks. The boats represent a way of traveling at a pace that makes the journey itself a bigger part of the trip; time to see, and enjoy the simple pleasures of being at sea.
    Well done guys.

    Once a year we check in on our 17K acre ranch in Montana and go take a look around our oil wells in California.

    New Sub here. This was a great series. My wife and I enjoyed watching this transformation from start to finish. We are current'y looking for a project live aboard ourselves, an early to mid 1980's 48' or 52' Defever is our dream boat but they are far and few between here in South Carolina. The ones that we have found in NC, SC, GA and FL for sale have already been refitted and are out of our price range. We found a 1982 43' Mainship for sale by owner in Beaufort SC that needed a major overhaul but as we were touring it we decided it was too small. Keep up with the good work and living the dream!

    I owned a boat repair shop, here's some suggestions (if you don't have them)
    Automatic and manual fire suppression system for the engine bay. (CO2 or Halox or another fog type that will not be corrosive) You can open it from the helm or if fire happened when you sleep or are gone a sprinkler head would open in the bay. A water alarm to let you know if there is water in the bilge above whatever level you set it at. a C) alarm and a fire / heat alarm. and a TV camera or two in the eBay, believe it or not the wireless ones at harbor Freight work very well and you can access them on your phone. All of these are really cheap and worth their weight in gold to let you know something is wrong before it is critical. The last is a few semi trailer ratchet load jacks, get the good ones that are used commercially. if you have a leak they can be used to press a piece of wood with something between them to stop a leak. You are looking at about $250 for all this but I also did search and rescue and these if ever needed can help prevent tragedy.
