- Опубликовано: 14 мар 2024
- Join us for the next chapter of the £1 Salvaged Yacht Restoration journey, where we confront the aftermath of the sunken vessel's watery grave. In this episode, we roll up our sleeves to tackle the massive task of clearing waterlogged interiors and removing remnants left behind. Watch as we meticulously remove all items and embark on the arduous process of removing expanding foam from lockers and bilges to restore structural integrity. With determination and grit, we delve into the extensive sanding operation to prepare surfaces for restoration, all while facing the challenge of safely removing the mast. Follow our progress as we navigate the complexities of salvaging and reviving this remarkable vessel, one step closer to its triumphant return to the sea.

I thought I would update you guys with a video of a weeks progress on the £1 yacht, as there was a lot of comments about updates instead of just one complete upload, so enjoy ⛵️⛵️⛵️
Thanks for deciding to keep us informed of the work & progress 👍
Oh mate... the drama is priceless. Exceeds the total value of final product by far. I hope you get compensated by RUclips. You deserve it. The stench alone...
Thank you, it’s fun and that’s all that counts 🤣⛵️
You actually think this is fun? 😮
@Paul_C in small bit sized chunks 🤣🤣⛵️
Having watched the first episode the condition and damage caused by ignorant previous owners is appalling. I would have been tempted to give up and torch the wreck but your enthusiasm I feel will carry you through to making it into something you will enjoy. I will continue to watch your video's. Dont throw the floor plates away, keep them aspatterns for their replacements.
Thank you. I will keep up the pace and hopefully will be completed soon, and thank you for reminding not to throw the floor plates away as they was almost ready for the skip, they will make great templates ⛵️
Cabin soles
Thank you for the correct term, I should know better 🤣⛵️⛵️
Hats off to you Sir, the sheer affort and time these boats need to get them back to former glory is phenominal!
I agree there’s a lot of work involved but patience’s and time is all it takes as the cost is minimal, thank you for your comments ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
Great work so far can see a very big difference already please keep the videos coming in episodes
I will do my best Barry, working filming and editing as a one man band has its challenges 🤣 but I always deliver ⛵️⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK I like your style I know the feeling as I’m trying to get my boat done
In between work and and the family is hard
@@Barrywarren1986 it definitely is indeed, I hope watching this video gets you back in the spirit for working on your boat and getting that sea time in ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK Iv neglected it’s for 2 years now and only just been getting back over to it but there’s plenty to do and plenty of rot to replace lol looking forward to seeing the progress with your £1 bargain who ever said boat life was easy ay lol
@@Barrywarren1986 every boat is a workload even when you think it’s “won’t take long” type of job that turns in to weeks and months, but as long as we have that passion in a hearts for the most expensive toys we own it feels worth it, thank you Barry for being here and I definitely hope you get your boat back to how she belongs.
Loved this! Can't wait to follow the updates! I love a bit of graft... could watch it all day 🤣🤣 Wife must be missing you , even she had the sander out
It will come together fast ⛵️⛵️⛵️❤️
You know what they say, happy wife, happy life … but in my case, it’s happy husband, happy life 😂 …
Brilliant! Just love your Enthusiasm, No Pain No Gain!! .Surprised a High Powered Jetter might have removed that old Paint? Cant wait for next Instalment!! UK
Thank you for your kind words, a lot of manual labour seems the only fix 🤣 looking forward to getting the next upload to you soon as I have made some more progress ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
Glad you didn't just show the end product. I always enjoy watching the restoration process!
Very glad nobody thought to fill the bilges with foam on my boat!!
Yes a lot of comments was asking to do some sort of updates and now we are on part 5 🤣 getting there slowly as lots of sanding later, foam is definitely a bad idea 🙏⛵️
The needs of whoever previously "outfitted" this boat were special, to say the least!
Definitely special 🤣🙏⛵️
After viewing part 1 I came straight to part 2. I reckon your enthusiasm will have this poundland yacht shipshape and gleaming after a few more sanding discs and fresh lick of paint! Subscribed to your channel as your progress has already become strangely addictive! 😊👍
Thank you very much, I am looking forward to having another full week on her to get the next video to you, really work this week has took over 🤣 ⛵️⛵️⛵️ stay tuned 😎🙏
Coming along nicely Cliff!
Thanks Rob I will keep on building ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
WOW 😮 guys what a transformation already 👍🏻 Keep the good work up 🤩
Thank you, I will keep on pushing, weather is a problem for me right now, but I look forward to keeping you up to date with the progress ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
I would suggest doing a very thorough inspection of your deck to hull joints. On my Vivacity, the best part of it was loose. It's a sandwich box type joint with brass bolts hidden under the bumper wood strip. The amount of glue they inserted in the joint was not enough.
Secondly, all the chain plates were just connected to the deck, which lifted the deck from the hull.
I rebuild the hull to deck joint from scratch, and installed new stainless chain plates, redesigned to connect through to hull, meaning, all rigging tension is in the hull, and not the deck. Same for the rear stays and forstay connections.
Thank you for this great advice, I will be having a thorough inspection of all the deck to hull joints, so far I have not had a closer inspection as yet, but this is definitely great information for me to follow up on, I will keep you posted on what we find 🙏⛵️⛵️
It never ceases to amaze me when I walk around boats as to the amount of people who use non stainless steel screws, nuts and bolts and various other fittings in a salt water environment
Completely agree it’s always a wonder why not 🙏⛵️
Watched the first episode and thought the next episode would be of a big bonfire. When you were draining it was like “Mate - f**k that!!!”. Now I’m a subscriber and hooked! Please keep uploading!
I will keep it coming. Thank you and stay tuned for more yacht madness 🤣🙏⛵️
Your determination is clear for all to see I admire your stubbornness I wish you every success, she looks like a little beauty
Thank you 🙏
I am impressed that anyone would spend a fraction of second trying to salvage this mess.
Just needs a polish 🤣🤣⛵️
All part of the fun ⛵️⛵️
Wow love the Power that U become from be positiv think and Not top give Up when U See the foarm inside the boat BIG UP!!
Thank you 🙏 this is what it’s all about ⛵️😁
I’ve watched from the start of your£1 pound boat project and what a transformation you guy’s are doing that’s going to be one lovely boat can’t wait for the next video hats off to you great viewing 👍👍👍
Thank you for your kind words Sean, we will keep on pushing 🙏⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
I love sanding and prepping to Cliff 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know how much you love this job Mate 🤣 your more than welcome to give me a lift 😎😎⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
I'm pleased you've decided to do updates, as they willake really intersting content. I'm now a subscriber. Good luck with the project!
Thank you, hopefully you will find this interesting thanks for subscribing 😎⛵️⛵️
Excellent update on the £1 yacht! Lots of good work done in just 6 days! You’re certainly working your buttocks off! 😂😊
Thank you ❤️
I bought 2 acres with a cabin and the property is beautiful but a big project. You encouraged me man
Thank you and I wish you all the best with your project and by the way that sounds awesome 🙏😎
The previous owner has been an absolute mentalist with some special attraction towards the expanding foam. He must have had some kind of a purpose with it, but has never thought it through all the way :-)
Not many things where thought though I think but we shall correct it all as we go 😁⛵️⛵️🙏
Let's hope the owner never gets his hands on a house!
i use a wire brush to unclog sanding discs sometimes even patting helps nothing to prevent though just persevere prep is everything
My God. I love your positivity 😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you, I will keep on pushing 🤣⛵️
Not the LEDS!
Those are how you attract people for swingers parties on your yacht 🎉😂
🤣🤣🤣
It's coming up lovely and has a very nice shape. I hope you keep the original colour but great so far I'm looking forward to more videos 👍
They will be coming soon, this week as been a washout with the weather but back on it very soon so stay tuned ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
Great video , really nice seeing the progress on this one!
Thank you, I will keep on working hard to get this boat back ⛵️🙏
Great to see progress 👍
Thank you, 🙏 I will keep on pressing forward ⛵️
For the foam removal, a wire wheel on a cordless drill works great. Hot tubs are filled with foam and I have seen the wire wheels used in foam removal for years. Then just vacuum.
This is great advice as I still have little bits that are stuck to get out, thank you is massively appreciated ⛵️🙏
Wow, expanding foam, lol. I never saw that on a boat before. There's an awful lot of work to be done with this one. Good luck with it 👍 👋👋🇨🇮
It was definitely challenging to get it out, Timelapse works miracles 🙏⛵️🤞🤞🤞
Looks like you are getting some nice improvements! I am glad you started using protection for when sanding, though.
Yes I was thinking that when I started, left my mask at home on day 1 not a good start, new video out at 6pm today but not as much progress as the weather turned against me all week but hope you enjoy ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
Realy enjoy your enthousiasme. Curious what your luxury yacht will become.
Thank you, hopefully sea worthy 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️
Enjoying these fella please keep it up 👍
I will keep it coming ⛵️ this week has been a wash out but I will back very soon ⛵️⛵️⛵️
Please keep filming, it's great to see. My boat is not as bad minor restaration needed. I'd like to see how you do it.
I will keep the uploads coming, currently juggling work commitments with the projects but stay tuned as I will bring you the videos as the work is underway ⛵️⛵️⛵️ good luck also with your own restoration 😎🙏
I like it when people take care of abandoned stuff. All things were build for a purpose and i dislike seing stuff go to waste.
Me too, it’s worth saving ⛵️🙏
Yes, but sometimes things are just too far gone and would be easier and cheaper to replace than repair. Also in terms of environmental factors; recycling the old boat by separating metals and other recyclable materials and burning the rest as energy would pollute less than than this; spreading microplastics into the environment by sanding it in the open. Manufacturing a new boat, and even manufacturing this one back in the day likely polluted less than its repairwork.
They is definitely a lot of pro’s and cons to any project and for a small boat like this it’s not the biggest job to salvage, it’s always best to repair than replace ⛵️
You should have covered the lot in paint stripper covered it over with bin bags and came back the next day. You'll probably find you wouldn't have that much sanding if you did. But we'll done on the progress!
Thank you and I used the paint stripper on part 3 and it worked well 🙏😎⛵️
@@BoatzUK well done pal!
I my friend, very positive work. Personally I will take off all the parts into the boat and make new, I will save only the main frame. I will follow you for new videos. Regards Piero from Italy
Thank you for your kind words Piero⛵️
I would love to have a project like this, a sort of go to sand in the morning, home for lunch, shower, go to work in the afternoons.. So enjoying the work you have done, I guess it is like eating an elephant, you can only do it bite by bite.. I agree, short 10 minute video once a week..
It’s great fun, weather is always my biggest factor, rain most days at the moment, and I find that you need two showers after a day on sanding 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK My dream is to buy a cheap something to fit on the water, sand, paint, edit video, not my video, I hate cameras, I am a tv news video editor by trade...getting on in age...
@justinepaula-robilliard editing is my hardest part as I am new to it, this video took me two days to edit
@BoatzUK In the right hands, should take a couple hours, it depends on what you use, in terms of mac or pc..
@@justinepaula-robilliard it’s because I am new to editing, and I was doing everything in 4k 60 FPS this next video is now 1080p and it’s a lot faster to edit as I was waiting to long for the clips to process as I am using PC, I will get there in the end when I find my feet hopefully 🙏
Very lovely and realistic.
Thank you, lot of work but it’s all part of the fun ⛵️
FYI, you can sometimes unclog sanding disks with a block of rubber, they sell them in toolstation and screwfix, but you can also use the sole of an old training shoe, or you might be able to use an old rubber block that was already taken off the boat.
Thank you for this information, on part 3 I used some paint stripper to give that a good and it worked well ⛵️🙏
@@BoatzUK Just watched part three and subbed to keep watching the updates.
@Anon-mk4ms thank you they will be more coming soon, currently in the making 🙏⛵️
Im supprised You Didn"t Hurl the Whole Thing In the Skip Bin LOL No Offence , Good luck Bro I always Like Seeing People save old Boats , Rather than go too Land Fill , Love the Twin Keel design
It was definitely close to being put in the skip 🤣 but definitely worth saving, twin keels are great ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
You've hit on the key to boat restoration. You can either do it properly, in a short time, for a lot of money, and less labour, or just as properly in a much longer time, for much less money and more labour. Cheap, easy, properly. Pick any two, the difference is the cost and the outcome.
That is a perfect explanation and completely true words, the outcome is always the same but your pocket doesn’t feel the pain ⛵️
Mate, invest in a sand baster attatchment for your pressure washer (e bay ) you can use dry sand in them because of the water, you don't have to worry about silicosis. wear safety gear and an apron, it's messy and ouchy if you hit your skin. Good luck.
Thank you Darren, I am almost done with the sanding on the top sides now, well I say that 🤣 much further ahead I should say but I will check this out thank you 🙏 ⛵️⛵️⛵️
ein sehr schöner film! danke!! 🙂
Thank you and stay tuned for more updates 🙏⛵️⛵️
Every man needs a project 👍
My problem is I need more than one 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️
If you wanna save money on Disks and time, you can use a sharpangle wood sand the corner and that will get some off and or some hard wax.
Thank you for this recommendation, on part 3 I used a paint stripper and it worked well, but I still have plenty more bits to do 🙏⛵️⛵️
Great effort, hope you don't find anything too horrifying. Watching from NZ.
Thank you, hopefully not but she is definitely a work in progress ⛵️⛵️
Previous owner: Lets fill it with expanda foam, then it will never sink!
That definitely didn’t work 🤣⛵️⛵️
What a challenge ! , but hats off to you to just roll your sleeves up and get stuck into it , its interesting to see at the end of the video how better it looks now all the mucky bit is out the way especially all that dirty waterlogged foam , nothing like a good clean to make you feel more enthusiastic , I find a cheese grater quite good for getting barnacles off.
Thank you Keith, definitely a challenge but nothing better than making a boat look better than you found it, thanks for the support ⛵️⛵️
Great video. Loved seeing the progress. Stick to this boat and get it finished with lots of videos like this. Well done.
Thank you, I will keep on building ⛵️⛵️⛵️
Слава рукастым!
Glory to handymen!
Thank you 🙏
For your sanding, have you considered trying sanding screens for your orbital sander? They may not clog as easily. Good luck to ya, and keep up the good work.
I will look into that thank you, I will keep on pushing forward ⛵️
Good videos!!
Thank you very much 🙏⛵️⛵️
I’m a sprayer by trade, if you use Mirka abranet discs for sanding they aren’t so prone to clogging because of there mesh design, in my opinion one of the best discs on the market by a long way.
Thank you for this information, this helps a lot 😎⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
Nicely edited matey
Thank you 🙏
Paint scraper maybe cheapest solution. Causes unintentional scratch to gelcoat but those are easy to fix. I scraped antifouling paint and primers from one of my previous boats for about 20-30 hours.
Yes I am a lot further ahead now and I used that exact method on a lot of the heavy paint areas, also tried some paint stripper in a test area and that worked well and washed down soon as the paint was scraped off just in case I melted the gel coat. Thank you for your advice it’s always appreciated ⛵️⛵️⛵️😊
An easy way to avoid sand disc clogging - wet sand it. It'll make a huge difference to the finish and your progress.
Thank you, I will give this a try 🙏⛵️⛵️
Attach a vacuum cleaner to your orbital sander, makes a night and day difference in how long your sanding pads last
Great advice and fully noted, went through 50 pads in a day, but I am getting there ⛵️⛵️
Would have cut out the whole floor to get the foam out.
Nice project, looks like you have a lot of fun - for a long time. ^^
Love it 🤣 thank you for your comment 🙏⛵️
@@BoatzUK Nearly done with Pt. 4 - c ya soon. :)
@@bscorax I will be back soon with the next part 🙏⛵️
Hi mate new subscriber and found your channel by accident. Am really enjoying the content and the £1 boat 🛥 is really coming on a treat, looking forward to more content cheers 🥂
Thank you for subscribing and it’s a pleasure having you here with us on the channel, stay tuned Paul as they will be plenty more to come 😎⛵️⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK Thanks mate no problem looking forward to it all cheers 🥂
I subscribed to your channel also Paul 🙏⛵️
@@BoatzUK well thank you so much, were you a chopper or Grifter man? Lol 😂, anyway carrying on from our conversation I think that's great what your doing with that £1 boat 🛥 a lot of people would of written it off, doing all that work then giving it away!! Hope it goes to a good home 🏡 and people appreciate all the hard work that's gone on by yourself, looking forward to more progress on that and seeing where it goes cheers 🥂 mate
Nice work quite impressed i dont think that gelcoat is going to buff out though lol
Definitely not 🤣 but can’t wait to get her fully prepped for her new look 👀
Nice progress mate
Thank you, I will keep on going, 🙏⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK around 2005 my grandad gave me his ‘pedro 17’. I spent a whole summer overhauling her, was great fun but cost me a fortune 😂 very addictive love it. Looking forward to seeing your project evolve
@@simonmercer9530 I do enjoy it and it’s great to hear you have been here before and you know what is involved in this kinda project, labour of love is the only words 🤣⛵️
Bit late now I guess but if you find your sanding discs clog up grab a black bin bag, scrunch it up and run the disc against it, it'll clear the disc up real quick
Thank you for this advice it all helps ⛵️🙏
As soon as he showed the Bilge Pump Working like a open Tap,,,,, I had to go for a Pee…..😂
🤣🤣🤣 when I was stood next to it I felt the same 🤣⛵️
😂😂😂
Next time you have to deal with that household paint, a heat-gun and a blade scraper will be your best friends.
That sounds like a better option thank you 🙏 ⛵️
A gruesome restoration. Antifouling is plenty for me so I would never have started that. By the way, my understanding is that "stepping the mast" actually means raising the mast but who cares. Good luck with the project!
Richard
Thank you for your comment, big task but all good fun, and yes I messed up with the stepping the mast 🤣 I could have edited it out but it’s all good 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
You bought allot of work goodluck!
Ohh yes 🤣 thank you ⛵️🙏
That expanding foam looked a horrid job to extract - oh and I cringed when the porta potti went upside down when you didn't have gloves on 😱😱😱 Good work so far, looks a lot better.
The foam took a full day to remove, Timelapse definitely speeds up the process 🤣 and yes that porta potti was definitely a fine moment that I don’t want to repeat to often 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK Admire your perseverance.
Just watched both your episodes on the £1 boat. I think you’re a little mad, but love you enthusiasm, and the speed your working. What is your plan for the boat? Cos it’s not going to sell for the amount you pay to fix. But I think if you keep this up you utube following will grow 10 fold. I am now a new subscriber.
Thank you very much for your comment, I will keep pressing forward, I plan on giving the boat away when complete to a sailing school, this week has been a washout with day job and weather but I am having a full week on her next week so more to come, thank you for subscribing ⛵️⛵️🙏
I think you should tell us more about your intentions, people like to support none profit endeavours that help local communities . There are people in the US that cut grass for free with 100k + subscribers and people watch it.😂
@@ianlloyd-edwards8590 I will add this to the next video,❤️🙏⛵️
My grandad was a skilled man.But when he got old his projects were pretty bad.I think some people loose there skills.Some dont ofcourse.New subscriber looking forward to watching your restoration.
Many thanks for subscribing, my grandad also had good skills and it give me the inspiration from watching him as a child make me love a good project ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
Use a wire brush on a clogged sand paper. Probably not too good for the grit. But you get more life
Totally agree will definitely help, on part 3 I tried paint stripper that worked well and saved many discs 🙏⛵️
try some benzyl alcohol-based paint remover -- try it on fiberglass first to make sure it does no damage, I have only used it on wood
Thank you for your comment on part 3 I used some paint stripper that worked well ⛵️🙏
You can use petrol to dissolve expanding foam or acetone or thinners
Yes that does work. Just a few small bits remaining to get out now 😎🙏⛵️
Respect to you ,there is no way in the world id have taken that on, great watch though
Thank you very much, stay tuned for more updates ⛵️
Gotta scape the barnacles off before the bottom dries. Even better, scrape them off while the boats still in the water, much easier.
I completely agree with that comment, the down side was she was left on the hard standing for 12 months Un-scraped so it was a little harder. Next will be to remove the old 10 layers of anti- fouling 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
Brave soul, best of luck
Thank you Pedro I will rebuild ⛵️😎🙏
@@BoatzUK I’ve just about completed a full caravan rebuild which took me a couple years (kids, work, lost motivation, lack of funds…etc.) I think if I had half if your positive approach it would have taken less time and have been less daunting. Thank you and looking forward to your completion…as well as mine 😁
@@sayhello2pedro if I have learned one thing it’s to keep on going even when it’s challenging as soon as you stop it’s harder to get going again with that same positivity, weather is my only downside currently but the UK summer is fast approaching so this will come together quickly, best of luck with your caravan and you will find that energy to keep going 🙏⛵️
Courageous
It’s a task and a half ⛵️
i bought myself a draco summerwind in like 2013.. finally got it on the ocean earlier this year.. it hadnt sunk though.. the former owner just gave up on it.. had an a4 size hole where the motor/aggregat went through the hull.. i fiberglassed it and bought a 9,9 outboard motor.. bought the boat for 10 norwegian krone.. NOK. thats about 0,75 british pounds google tells me..
That’s great news that you now have her back in the water 😎 this is what it’s all about, thank you for sharing this and I will keep pushing forward ⛵️⛵️
Have you tried Abranet sanding disks? They don’t clog. 😀
Ohhhh no I haven’t this sounds good 🙏😁⛵️
that was some barnacle collection, copper plating stops them from attaching, you can get copper-based paint, wonder if that would stop them, any ideas anyone,
It was definitely covered 🤣 in the marina where we are based it’s brackish water and no matter what you put on the hull barnacles seem to be immune to anything 🤣⛵️🙏
I wonder I’d you could have used a paint stir adapter to get that foam out. What a PIA.
The rusty saw seemed to do the job but they would have definitely been easier ways 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
Such a big improvement in a short space of time. Good job.
I will keep on pushing 😎🙏 weather is currently my biggest factor, slowing me down a little but I will keep on moving ⛵️⛵️⛵️
Fantastico! 😂😂😂
New episodes are live 🙏⛵️⛵️😂😂 thank you 🙏
Ah, zose kimkeelers are practical in tidal water. And for 1 pound buying, you can always get her back to okay. Keep it simple and have fun.
Thank you, I will definitely be keeping it simple and it’s definitely good fun ⛵️🙏
Keeps you fit restoring a boat , out of interest I would have loved to have heard what the quote would have been to sand blast the hull, because that's a saving by not using that process and sticking with the 3 day graft of DIY.
the quote was around £500 at a guess as one of the lads in the marina had his done and that’s what he paid so that’s approximately what it would have been, so forget my labour as I am free 🤣 so a good saving in my eyes ⛵️
Yaa for bull dog sailers!
Ohh yes ⛵️
Angle grinder & flappy discs would be cheap & effective 👍.
I will give this a go thank you 🤩
I would cover the whole boat in paint stripper and power wash it of. I bet the cheap paint will come off easy.
That would definitely work and it would be easier, I was worried about melting the gelcoat but I did do a test area and it worked ⛵️🙏
I’m sorry to say it but I think you may have wasted your pound ,but I admire your commitment!
It’s all about the challenge, thank you for your comment Ian ⛵️🙏
@@BoatzUK oxalic acid can work wonders on rust stains on fibreglass definitely worth a try . It’s incredibly frustrating when folks use mild steel instead of stainless fixings and fittings .
Well, that's looking a lot better.
What's the white boat next to yours? It's an unusual looking thing.
Thank you, not sure but I will find out for you ⛵️⛵️⛵️
That was interesting. It sank because the hull was filled with foam and that foam became waterlogged. Who would have thought it?
Many other factors also but this definitely didn’t help 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK seems like a good idea if it was letting in water, so fill it with spray foam. Easy enough.
Dum question but could a High pressure washer break the expanding foam?
Yes it definitely would, you would definitely get covered in all the pieces and need a jet wash yourself to clean up afterwards 🤣 ⛵️🙏
so what really confuses me, well a lot about this little boat confuses me, but the 1 thing that just blows my mind, even more than those hilarious davits, or the holes in the transom, is the foam.
EVERY boat shares 1 problem, and that problem is a lack of storage space. but for some reason the old owner of that boat decided to REMOVE like 90% of their storage space by filling everything in with that foam.
i just wanna know what their thought process was
Me and you both 🤣 I can never understand some people’s way of thinking, he must of had a good reason 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
@@BoatzUK I bet it was to make sure it wouldn't sink with all those holes in the boat 🤣, or maybe he saw one of those mega yachts with a swimming pool on board and was like "that. That is what I need." Lol
@PKAdventures brilliant 🤣 with the davits etc probably was 🤣
I have no idea of what you are made up of! Impressive attitude! I gave up on your behalf several times during the video :-)
Thank you, I just love seeing the different when I start getting the job done, I like to keep pushing forward, there’s a lot still to do 🤣⛵️⛵️
Why buy a pump and a new battery?
Take a garden hose and use the siphon effect. Takes over night, but costs you nothing.
I actually bought it for another boat I have but then this yacht came up so used it as it was already on site, also the pump that was in the yacht still works so that’s good news, siphon is a good way of doing it ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
Previous owners should be compensating you for taking it off their hands , don’t know jack about boats but interested if you get it back shipshape 👍
Thank you for being here, progress coming soon ⛵️😎
Looks like a Thames Marine Snapdragon. I had a 26ft looks like a 24ft?
I have found out she is a Vivacity 20 I also thought it could have been a Snapdragon but thanks to the you tube community she has now been identified, thank you for your comment ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏
Wow hope you got 6 amp battery charger hooked the battery, they only last for 10 hrs at most love that water flow from pump it's like me peeing after lots beer 🍺 😅
I felt the same when I edited the video 🤣 toilet stop soon as heard the pump running ⛵️
