    Kid, you exemplify how young men should conduct themselves. That fearless "I will figure it out and overcome it" mentality is lacking these days. I am an aircraft mechanic with 30 years experience and I wish to see more young men like yourself entering into my craft but is just not the case! You have a very bright and satisfying future on your horizon!

      ​​@@Anthonywillisms This kid is hands down an animal when it comes to knocking stuff out. But you see how he buys his boats bro. He will do the work if there are problems no questions asked. All that teak work alone is incredible and i have done teak work on my cabin doors on my 25ft 78' cruiser . He is a beast. But having owned 16ft 18ft 20ft and 25ft boats if u are not willing to learn some serious information about what you purchase so YOU can go and work on ur own vessel. And yea of course you get work done here and there. But most of the time I seen people who just have money they let the Marinas take care of whatever size boat you got. That means canvas motor work etc..and just moving it around. That's why they say bust out another 1000 lol

    Yo Gus, Nice Job on the Motor Yacht, I know Boats, My dad and I sailed for many years out of College Point Queens, we had a 40 Mathews Motor yacht and a 32 ft Revel Craft Fly bridge cruiser. My dad at one point own like 5 boats, he had a 28 ft Owens Cruiser, a 30 Luhrs Express Cruiser and trust me man, I worked my ass off with him on these Older boats. But we had the time of our lives on them, every night during the summer we would head out and just take a cruise up to Oyster bay or a cruise down the east river to see lower Manhattan. I love boating and I love watching you as you work and learn with these older boats, It brings back a lot of great memories I shared with my dad. Enjoy yourself brother, Live Life like its your last day. Keep up the videos , cant wait to see the maiden Voyage bro. God Bless >

    I can't put into words the respect and awe I have for someone like you. I watched a bit of your trip from Miami to Maine before I tuned in here. So, at first I thought you were just some rich kid who bought himself a yacht with daddy's help. I must apologize for that misconception after watching the first quarter hour here. You are one exceptional, energetic, talented person, and I hope you get all the use and enjoyment out of your boat that I would want were it mine.
    I especially liked your story of how you found the boat, the problem you had financing it, and how through sheer fickle fate you found someone who could help you obtain the bank loan you needed.
    You are surely blessed.

No big boats for me now, had two 32 ft bayliners hino diesels 87 and a 90 good layout never any trouble for 20 years. And also 1997 37 bayliner Cummins dimond diesels awesome boat like a new condo. My friend had your type Hatteras 53 he said he was going remove the hallway combine the engine rooms. Latter from solon to state room. So glad I run back into you. You are one smart guy. Love it.
