From Salvage To Seaworthy In Two Weeks - 50ft Hatteras

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!

You are the most exceptional hard working young man I have ever come across. I'm sure your parents are beyond proud of you. You are SO inspiring. Lots of love and blessings from Cape Town. ❤🇿🇦

hard working kid living the dream, he deserves every blessing that comes his way

The thing I love about Gus is his interactions with other people within the boating community in the US. I'm from the UK and the representation of Americans is not always positive, this channel shows me the real America Keep doing what you're doing and I wish you all the best

At 75 it is hard even to get my mind around all of the hard work that you put into this boat. You are an inspiration for anyone and are to be commended for all of your stict-to-ative Ness as my Grandmother used to say. I have liked & subscribed.

You, my friend, are a gifted individual. You should start your own mobile marine repair business. Your beginners fiberglass work was off the hook good. The world is yours for the taking. Marine repair is a very lucrative business. You will stay covered up with work as long as your work ethics remain 5 star. Downside, you never have enough time to spend any of that money. You could always focus on just one facet of marine repair: whatever you enjoying doing the most. Great video. Excellent work. Looking forward to the next video! Good luck young man.

I am on my second Hatteras. The construction quality and high quality materials used were unsurpassed, at the time, in a production yacht. Always a pleasure to rehabilitate these lovely ladies.

Seeing Bella floating proud in the opening scene brought a smile to my face! Congrats Gus, you deserve this. Keep up the amazing work. BTW I love watching technical type repair/maintenance videos. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. So please feel free to take us along whenever you are working on a project. You are quite the handyman.

Enjoy your way of documenting and presenting the repairs. To many channels spend tons of time talking about the individual products they use and why they chose them. You "get er done" and move on to the next task .... greatly appreciated my friend! Watching you splash I can only imagine when she was sparkly and all new hitting the water for the first time. 😊

Congratulations to that beautiful Hatteras. You did an awesome job so far fixing her up. Respect 👍

Gus, that was impressive. You got that boat back in the water in record time. Your fiberglass repair looks top notch. Have fun with your new boat. Looking forward to future videos.

Pleasure watching a young man work so hard to accomplish an end, not that there is ever an end to owning a boat. Your parents must be very proud of you. Safe sailing captain. ,🇺🇸

Gus, you are a fine example of the old maxim: you get out of life what you put into it. Great work, mate!

I love your enthusiasm and motivation, you are a go getter. Doing the work yourself you can really understand your systems so much better, which is a very big plus.

Gus, I am amazed at the knowledge you have gained about engines, electrical, and the inner workings of a boat such as this at such a young age (24 ?). I would be very interested to know your background as to where you got this knowledge, ie. vocational school, college, OJT... etc. In any case, you seem to be exceptional and as I have watched your videos from the beginning, I will continue to do so since you continue to entertain and amaze me.

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 >

Gus I can watch you every day on your adventures. It's so inspiring watching you conquer any obstacle thrown your way. Keep up the hard work, it's definitely paying off. Safe travels.

You are the MAN and here I am stuck in New Hampshire a week after we got 32 inches of white concrete from the sky.. of course our boat is still in deep freeze mode for another 2 months .. good to see you getting this beautiful Hatteras back in shape , you will know here stem to stern when you done. for sure no need to apologize for not getting it all on cam, would of took you three times as long to get it done if you're trying to film it all.

Unbelievable find, and job done getting launched so quickly. What a beaut.

“Things are getting poopy.” Lol! Awesome video - fun to see young people getting their hands dirty, taking on big jobs like this.
