Once In A Lifetime Boat Deal

No one else on YouTube would make an entire restoration into one video, thanks keep it up!!!!

I think a tour of the marine junkyard would make a good video.

Looks good. Anytime you drill a hole in a boat it's a good idea to drill the holes out bigger than the hardware you'll be using. Then fill the holes back in with thickened epoxy and drill the final holes through the epoxy slug that you put in there previously. This does two things, it prevents water from leaking around the screw and rotting out the wodden core under the fiberglass, and in the event that your boat has a foam core it prevents the clamping forces from the hardware squishing the foam which let's water in and causes the hardware to loosen up over time. It takes a little longer, but it will make a huge difference in the lifespan of any fiberglass boat.

Such a sick set up!! Love this build! 🔥🔥

That’s cool that the Warner brothers bought your truck

It would be cool if y’all left links to products you use in the restoration.

You know, all machines have a "mech soul", and I can still hear that boat's lil' soul screaming in joy that you found her, rescued her, and brought her back from the graveyard. You guys did a fantastic job. Think of all the good mech vibes you bring forward with your hard work. Keep at it, best wishes always. I just luv this stuff! You are truly talented!

You should put a wedge piece of aluminum on the transom matching the same holes for the ladder bracket to change the angle of the ladder making it easier to use and get in the boat. What a as the final cost after all the upgrades?

I think this is the nicest one you’ve done to date. I’d have a hard time letting it go!

You are absolutely killing it! These are the quality videos I come to expect from you. I always look forward to seeing what you’re up to next. Please keep them coming!

When you first gave a tour of what you had just bought, I thought you were in trouble, but seeing the amount of work you put it, I am very impressed. Nice work, came out amazing.

Kudos to you guys. Something tells me even if you do have problems with that boat it'll be no problem and better off for it. Actually was a very motivating video. Thanks!

That battery cable brought back a memory. Was in Bimini and got invited to fish with some of my friend's neighbors in their 20' center console. Trolling when the engine died. I went to the stern and saw the positive cable burned off the terminal. I clamped it back on with vice grips. Stepping off the boat later, I mentioned to the guy to remember to fix the terminal. I later heard that 2 weeks after, the guy broke down off of Port Everglades while being chased by blue flashing lights and loaded down with bales of weed. He went to the stern, replaced the vice grips, went back to the console and hit the key with his knee, breaking it off. He did 2 years in the slammer.

I love exploring Don's Marine salvage. They always have the most interesting things. Been going for almost 30 yrs.

I enjoy your videos and not only seeing how you envision the boat and bring it to fruition, but I really enjoy seeing what an enterprising young man can accomplish through vision and hard work. Keep it up.

Just watched and commented on my first video watched of yours about the check engine light procedure on Honda EFI engine. So this would be only the second video of yours I've seen. Same as last time it's just such a pleasure to see someone doing things the correct way no shortcuts and very much like myself went above and beyond the average person. So again thanks for putting in the work so others can enjoy. P. S. Great camera work also the drone video was a nice touch!

You guys do great work. I love seeing the transformation from tired to “WOW”.

No wonder why he hasent posted in forever great job on the boat btw

That was a lot of work and skill you guys put into the restore of that boat.. Super impressive! (As always)

New to your channel! I was raised on the water back in NY back in the 70s, and boats were my life growing up. Used to take care of my dads 37 Searay, and was paid to take care of 3 of my neighbors Bertram 35s. Offshore fishing 2 days a week too. My biggest fish was a 15 ft mako,still have the teeth! Awesome the job you guys did!!
