I wear a garbage bag until I get where I'm going.
That's hilarious 😂
GBU...but DRY! 😎
Diddo!!
@@SailingGoodBadandUgly If it's HALLOWEEN, I go as "White Trash"...
I wear one too but often suffocate.
You guys are definitely my favorite sailing channel!
Uploaded an hour ago and already over 1 thousand folks have watched your Show! I've been here sence the beginning so to see this channel grow is awesome. Love my GBU Crew
Because we can’t wait til Sunday morning for their videos! 😎😉🔱
Remember it's the Dead Dolphin now instead of GBU😀
@@donnalatty I’m trying but I don’t know if I can say that! But I did buy two Coolie t-shirts!
Both of you are great, but Matts portrayal of his Dad was so funny. Thanks for the laughs! Love your channel!
Love the way you guys don't whine about things you just fix it , Good Job
Guys, the biggest reason I love your channel is that you two keep it real. No pretending like everything is bunnies and rainbows. Thank you for honest opinions. I hope one day I get to meet you guys and buy you a Captain and coke.
Matt you are ready for Dad jokes. Go for it.
You’re always entertaining. I marvel at how “clean” your interior design is and wonder where everything went.
I always picture it piled up directly behind the camera lol.
But every boat has a dumping area, out of sight where all the mess goes
Good morning now for the show. The show just got started and I almost choked on my coffee with the demonstration of how the door could do bodily harm. As usual you two knocked it totally out of the park with fun and laughter. Wishing you a super great week. God bless in all you do.
🤣🤣
@@SailingGoodBadandUgly Isaac impersonation had to be hands down the BEST thing yet on this channel...hahahahahhaha... I was rolling!!!
@@loubonaparte5063 glad u liked it Lou
@@SailingGoodBadandUgly I had to go back and listen twice at isaac the ice man!!!
You two are the best. Be
kind. You are a rare a team. You are real. Good job from this old sailor.
Oh MG! "Right up the cranny!" I'm laughing so hard! And the re-enactments are both hysterical although I've got to give this one to my boy Mattie! Kristen's enthusiasm for everything is so cute. Best channel ever.
Matt is hilarious, with a great sense of humor.
Keep it up!
From a dude to another dude.
Can't tell you how much I appriciate you being honest about your failures and mistakes. It's charming, educational and so much joy to follow 🙂
Y’all make me laugh every week! We vote for popping out a few of your lights from the strip Matt made and putting fans in there. You already have power and it would be out of the way of your beautiful cabinets!
Another great video is over and my eyes fill with tears of sadness as we say bye once again. I'm a 68 year old orphan now that all my family cashed out of this rat race. You all bring such joy to this lonely old fool, love y'all.
Things I Love
Your insane drone shots
That you have a kitty on board
When you show a map of where you are and where you’re going
Your sense of humor and how nice you are to each other
"We're here to embarrass ourselves like we always do..." Hardly. Your humility and willingness to share mistakes is part of why I
Ok, I have to admit it’s a tie. I laughed my butt off on both of your re-enactments. 😂LOL…
Regrets!!!! No need to have any regrets you two. Matt you took on a lot of difficult projects and I have to say you did an excellent job. Fans how hard would it be to run a new wire behind the light bar and mount fans on each end. Another great video with y’all both at the end big smiles as always. Keep it up
Papajack
I enjoy the comedy entertainment value of your videos as much as the sailing and work projects….so PLEASE 🙏keep up the great work.Thank you very much.Roly 🇬🇧.
I am wrapping a towel around my swimsuit area because I am laughing so hard at this episode's awesomeness. No regerts!
Poor Dad and the cabin door...... I'm sure you two never had that problem. That interior is so fine, hard to believe it was originally dark and rotted. Great job!
I look forward to watching you guys every Sunday morning
Matt, to access the outlet in the booze corner, just remove the door. It's a cool look and you will have electrical access. You can break up the laminato theme and add visual appeal.
The re-enactment was hilarious! Thanks for the great episode. And Larry Laminato killed it again.
Good job on the tune up of the interior...there is always something to correct it seems! Love humor between you two! Oh the winner of the struggle with door demo is Kristin !! Sailrjay
TIP 1 Just install an outlet inside the booze locker wall legged off the one in the nav station cabinet. 👉👉TIP 2 For the closet probs install a 12" hand towel bar upside down from back to front. 👉👉TIP 3 For your fan issues get the mobile suction cup mounted ones with the lever on it. From the online river store. 😍😍They hold on just as good as those safety suction cup grab bars for tubs/showers and the ones for installing window pains. 😎😎TIP 4 A BIG Plus! Those suction safety grab bars are a huge win for use on the outside of boats as Oh crap handles. On the hull to tie off to or a few used as a ladder.👈👈😜Not kidding they really do work like this.
I'm having more and more fun watching your videos as time passes. You "seem" like a great couple that can work through the issues of being together 24/7 or maybe 22/7...ANYWAY, thanks for the videos you two, you are in my top 5 sailing channels that I look forward to watching.
Matt you did your best and Kristen you are a good sport!!!!!!! Love the laugh when Matt said he failed as a captain!!!!!! No one could have avoided that Matt.
One of the many things I love about your guys is that you are 100. And you share it well some of it with us. Your a blessing and encouragement for all your viewers. Keep up the excellent work.
Hate to say I don't like the sink fix . I would look into getting a new sink that pitches to the drain and try and sell the one you have . The companionway door came out great . The rest of the little things you will figure out Matt , you're almost a genius lol . The dingy ride was funny as hell . Love you guys , keeping it real .
Look at you guys go … 171k subs , 8k likes in 19hrs !
Way to go , love ❤️ u ins
It just looks like continuous improvement to me. Don't be so hard on yourselves. The Dead Dolphin looks great and it is all down to you guys.
Concerning the outlet by the booze locker, just make a cutaway in the door so the outlet isn't covered. Then paint the receptacle cover brown to match the wood. As for the fans, try some low profile mounting brackets, like used for hanging radio mics, with electrical connectors. I also recommend buying a cheap thermal scanner, like TM160(under $400 US), or renting one. It will show electrical problems in wiring or batteries, problems with engines, water intrusion in wood and fiberglass, and more. They are also fun for spotting hidden animals or taking cool pictures.
Myself I was thinking just move the outlet to the door
@@claybornlewis276, Moving an outlet is FAR more work than cutting out a small piece of wood.
Hinge the door up. You can get auto stays (up hold up again & drop) .. or to the bulkhead side.
I haven't got a clue about boats or boatwork but in my unqualified opinion, i think you both have done a magnificant job on your home. Love ya both and see you next week. I hope hahaha.
With Kristens charm and looks ,and Matts skill, no big problem to resolve these minor regrets ! 👍🏻
I think we all love how you guys always keep it real. We have all had those moments .... why didn't I think of that. It is just fun and feels good because we are getting the real you.
I missed Larry Laminato. Thanks for bringing him back. Sometimes I rather see him at work than a turtle at work on a reef !!
Great video! Love how you share the good and the bad! Don’t worry about tan placement - Matt does such clean work, anywhere you need it - put one! And Kristen, love your highlighted hair! You guys are so cute together - nice, wholesome videos! We love them!
You guys crack me up! Great video, Matt wins the Pops demo.
Kristen, get a foul weather jacket and make a garbage bag skirt for those wet dinghy rides. You can reuse the skirt. 38 years experience...
You guys ROCK and remember, no regrets, just learning.
Cheers!
Di (Dave's wife)
You could top or side hinge the door on the socket cupboard allowing access to the boooze locker and have the machine plugged in!😊
Doors to the cabin are waaay better, even looks like intentional design that the tops follow the cabin roof line when open.👌 Are you going to use a clacker or a magnet maybe to hold them open in the swell? All this stuff is standard debugging after a major refit. Nobody's perfect although you guys come closer than most!
I recently went to St Thomas in route to the BVI and stayed overnight in the Red Hook area. It's cool. The biggest surprise on St Thomas was the high costs of taxies. While the dingy ride may have been wetter than expected, a taxi ride would have been very pricey. Also, you guys did a fantastic remodel job, and should be very proud.
No remodel goes completely as expected. I’ve never done a boat, but I’ve done several houses. There are always regrets. There are always mistakes. But at the end of the day if you’re satisfied with the outcome, it’s a success. By the way, your boat is beautiful.
Fan placement: Tap into your light strip wiring! =) You could screw a fan straight into that trim piece and hang the fan from it upside down pointed any direction. Out of the way, no screws in Larry's fine craftsmanship, and access to a power source (or the ability to run more in that channel).
The interior is one of the best renovations , minimalist with the knack of putting things away. As for the doors, different hinges will work OR have it top hinged and slide it under the hatch ; maybe
Matt, here is a multiple solution for your ice maker power issue. Cut a U shape cutout in the edge of the booze locker cover facing the pantry/storage wall. The hole would be big enough to get a finger in to help remove the cover. Then inside the locker below the outlet in your electric panel, add another outlet. Finally run the power cord for the ice maker through the locker cover and into the new receptacle.
That was great! You two always brings a smile to my face!
On the fan situation I'd definitely start with an exhaust fan over the stove to suck some of that heat right up and out of Galley area
Can't wait for the spring to kick in so I can go in the water. Up in the east coast old man winter keeps us high and dry. Thanks to you both I never lose that enthusiastic feeling over the winter months, thank you for that!
Hang the fans from the light bar/panel at least then you can hide the wires, given the refit is over it's probably the neatest way you can add them.
You guys are amazingly handy. It seems like you can tackle anything that comes up. Including improving on your previous efforts. I wish I could be half as capable as you two.
I love you two. Ya'll are
simply to cool. Carry on. Can hardly wait until ya'll have kids.
Matt and Kristen, so glad you're having a good time. I'd say you got it 98% right and now you're just tweaking the other 2%. And you're living and learning, a process that never ends. I think we actually enjoy seeing some tools in your hands. Thanks for Sharing!
As usual I like all your episodes.For placement of fans keep them low as possible so the hot air does not circulate.Have lots of fun.
That Breakfast looked EXCELLENT!!!!!!
Love your videos, your sink needs mildew resistant caulking around the rim of the sink (between the sink and counter top). This will prevent water damage on your pressboard.
As already mentioned “lift off” hinges for the saloon doors is the way to go. I also used removable smoked plexiglass window with a screen underneath.
LOOK AMAZING IDEA!!! Just router a outlet size hole in the door so you can use the outlet with it open or close. Your welcome in advance Old Uncle Hal with another genius idea!
Nice fixes Larry Lam. I spend hours imagining good simple workable hardware solutions to annoying things and when they come to me I usually slap my forehead and wonder why it took me so long. Love the funny love chemistry you guys mix up too.
Y'all did a great job on the boat!!!! Awesome video for sure.
Thanks for the fist pump/hand clap. With the amount of work you all did…. Wow, and nice.
About fan placement - we took a small plastic box (from Daytimer products) and put a sm 12 v battery in it, cover back on with holes to match the battery's terminals and attached the Hella fan on top. It could be moved anywhere it was needed. I was extremely pleased with it.
Just love my Sunday morin laugh with you guys...
You guys are definately the entertaining highlight of every sunday! Constantly smiling thru your videos 😊
so guys for your fan placement. perhaps use a magnetic base that you can leave in place in the different areas that you want the fan when you need it. then you just have the permanent base only and no exposed wires or fan, just stick it up when you want it and plug it in.
Love that you shared your fixes for the things that didn’t work the way you like! Great job guys!
You are the best, my most favorite, I can laugh and laugh louder on every episode!……..
fans? you have a wire channel with the little lights on the ceiling. run the wire there, and install fans near the ceiling on the bulkheads. The cabinet door over the outlet, change the hinges so it opens to the bulkhead and a magnet to keep it there. Now your outlet and booze locker are accessible most of the time, can close only when you want to look totally sleek! Great job guys.
I'm a retired 75-year-old sailor love sailing more than anything But IIn 24 to become a patron of your channelI really appreciate and watch every video you guys makeI hope you are mad cuz I can't contribute money But if I could I would
GBU is by far my favourite watch, been watching for ages and thought I was subscribed because your always at the top of my viewing list….
Now I am subscribed hahaha
Love your work guys always something that brings a smile to the dial
Your channel is one of my first and most favorite selling channels. I love you too dearly.
Nice to see you two back on the water
You guys brighten my day. Thank you
Man you guys have done a great job with the boat. You could offer to do design for others. They send you pics of the before and you send back what could be possible and how to do it. Most people just do not have the imagination. Great Video.
Cool video this week. Matt’s funny sense of humor came through and his little voices make me smile. The village looked really nice. Your fixes were well done. The wild dingy ride was cool.
Hide usb plugs off the ceiling lights and use a usb fan from Amazon. Super clean and power is already there. Will be clean.
Both of you deserve the best actor award okay 🤣🤣🤣 OMG that was so funny hopefully your father is alright. I still feel like crap but you guys made me laugh. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hope ur all better soon🙏🙏
I agree with you Matt don't mess with electricity. Top priority to fix !
You guys are great! Not regrets. You just learned the way you don’t like it. Then you fixed it! Awesome. Could you get some hinges that open the door upward? Then you can keep the sleek look and still open your booze locker. Anyway, love the channel!
I Think you 2 have done a GREAT job ,,you will always find little things it is all a learning curve Love you both!!!
Got an idea for your trash drawer….put a guide bar on the sides of can and drawer walls. Just so when it’s heavy it’s easier to handle.
Entertaining as always. Keep them coming. The boat looks great. Maybe there are rechargeable battery operated small fans that have movable mounting brackets? That way you could mount them wherever you want without wires.🤔🤷♂️
I would probably mount them on the PVC of the ceiling lights. The wiring is already there. Just angle them where needed and where you won't hit your head.
Another great video. Very entertaining
Put a hook on that door for the plug so it is open a inch so the cord will be out & u can get to the locker for beer. U make my Sunday mornings.
I’m getting addicted to you guys. Very entertaining . I’m learning a lot about sailing. Keep up the good work
You guys are awesome. Very entertaining and creative. I get loads of laughs following along. You've done a wonderful job on the boat it looks fantastic.
Cheers from NZ
Great video guys. Couple of suggestions. There are RV fans designed to fit over roof hatches which do a great job of pushing or pulling air (reversible air flow). If you could rig something like this up on a roof hatch you'd have air flow throughout the cabin. For the hidden AC outlet. I'm guessing you don't need stuff plugged in all the time so perhaps either design a small trap door in the electrical panel door, or install a small marine screw-out inspection hatch, either of which will allow you to route the electric cord to the outlet, close the electrical panel door, and have access to the booze locker.
Well Captain Matt and dear Kristen, you did it up right captain. All went fairly smooth and bring bear out more often, love that cat. Like your stop offs at the various Islands. Keep looking pretty Kristen, Bueno noches.
For the fans: Why dont you just install multiple of those permanently next to those nice spotlamps? I think it should be cool, its white, those I think won't ruin the look of the interior. OR if Matt wants to be full on with the beauty maybe you can try install hidden connectors and modify the fans to some kind of plug and play fans. Put connectors to the bottom of those so that way you can just pull those out from the wall socket if not needed. :) Oh and 1 more thing. The doors went good, but if you wanna keep those from flippin and floppin, you can install magnets on those and you can just "lock" them temporarly at the open position.
Two things I might have done differently for your fixes Matt. On the sides of the pull-out for the trash can I would have cut some indentations to grab with the fingertips when it's out a little bit. Closed it would still look the same. For the screen doors on the companionway I would have considered using stainless steel piano hinges. They would have given you the 180 degree opening you want, although it would have involved finding them and spending a little $$.
Such great content you guys have. Really like how you guys present things.
Always projects to renew on a sailboat. Working on mine tomorrow. Ordered Your New Shirt can't wait till it comes. Thanks Peter
Hell ye!! Thank you #deaddolphin
Are you aware you have the absolute best, entertaining and anticipated sailing channel on YT???
So, did you notice Matt goes full Pirate and takes it in the ARRRRG, while goes for the cockpit! Either way looks PainFullllll.
Beautiful refit, no regrets that I can see. What you did was after thought, but either way congrats on your new rebuilt boat.
We all learn from experience. Just part of life! Good job, keep up the good work.
Hey Matt and Krista, love the new upgrades. Yes, your boat looks amazing. You guys did a boat load of work. 😁 Was cool Matts dad made a visit and to me, looked like he held his own. WTG pops. Glad you guys got away to visit family. So important. Cheers. Day 1 subscriber.
That's all to be expected though after actually living with your work. We lived in our tiny house while building it and I can't tell you how many design changes we made after realizing potential problems. We'll be going through it again with our new-to-us tiny sailboat...hope Mitch and I get along as well as you guys in our tiny refit. Thanks for this video, it was very helpful. ❤️
Good work on the changes to hatch and sink. Larry Lamanoto jumped out of the tool bag! Over all small things to upgrade compared to the rebuild. The islands are beautiful. Enjoy, 👍⛵️🏝
Bear likes when you talk about the sink....SHe looks relaxed!!!!!!
