    Get a roll of roofing and attach it to the ramp. When I drove truck, I delivered kegs to bars on the Sacramento River and that is what we put on the ramps. You could put slates on it too, to hold the paper down, but if you hand truck anything on your boat, you’ll have to jerk it over each slate, but those slates will help you stop if you start sliding down your ramp.

Billy you might nail down some 2 inch wide strips across the plywood like some have mentioned, it is called a Chicken Walk, plywood gets super slick when wet, especially if you get any saw dust or dirt, etc. on it. 👍 🙏😎✌️

    I hope y'all were as happy as I was to see the condition of the bottom of that old girl. I was expecting a lot worse and possibly years of growth along the keel but who ever they had scraping the bottom did a pretty good job and earned their money from what I saw. Yes it needs a bottom job but it could have been so much worse as anyone who's bought a boat to only find out on haul out/survey that it has been ignored or only half arse cared for can tell you. It really looks to me like you kids got one hell of a deal and knowing you're not afraid of a little hard work I for one can't wait to see how she's doing once you splash...

    Hello from Alberta Canada. Purchasing the trawler for $100 was a great investment both business and accommodation wise. Both of you know boats well enough to be able to have made an informed decision, lemon or doable project?. Exciting project it appears to be, easy for me to say cus its not my cash. Hey weather you decide to keep her for some West coast escapes, charter it out, relocate it to Fla or ultimately sell her you've got options. Take a year + - to live in, upgrade and sail while the catamaran is being built sounds like a plan. This way the pressures of waiting on the catamaran built may be less. So go for it cant wait to see what you do with her. Thanks for taking us along. See you next week.

    👍👌👏 2) Simply fantastic that so much on this luxurious boat is still working well. 3) You two definitely remind me much of the Sailing Magic Carpet couple Maya and Aladino. The same can do attitude and you even look a little bit similar. That's at least what I instantly thought while watching my first video on this channel (the resume after selling).
    I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the rest of this restoration.
    Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and health in particular. To all 3 of you of course.
