Nice. Lots of work but a nice boat. A friend bought a 33’ mono for a dollar. She now has at least 35k into it now. Ouch. Look out. She couldn’t sell it for 20k

What a nice Mello trip. I'm getting ready to sail a tayana 37 from Alameda to Avila Beach. I hope I get a milk run too. For some strange reason every time I've been around Point Conception it's been really calm. Hope my luck holds.

Your $2 boat/catamaran has elements of a Wharram design and a Prout design. Was it a "home build" or was the boat production built?? The engine design of lowering and taking them back out if the water, I think is kinda cool 😎. Be watchful of soft spots whether they be in the hull or in the cabin. Good luck and happy, safe sailing. 👍⛵🙂

Keep an eye out for Mark from Wilding Sailings channel hes just got his Wharram Pahi sailing.

Yea..we saw the movie..where’s your Cousteau beanies..and bill Murray? ……wow you guys…I admire you.

A most excellent adventure

love the guitar

I am sat watching in rainy Manchester living the dream with you all absolutely brilliant good on you all stay safe keep on with video s 👍

Hey! Really inspired by your journey. Very curious about the total amount you spend in all the repairing process. Thanks in advance

Cool and Iroquoi! We bought a rotten one in Florida and went sailing in the Bahamas!

Cool, I hope you keep putting out videos.

I was anchored at Smugglers Labor day weekend and saw you there.

Congrats guys! You are living the dream.

What boat is this

Ask the geoguesser guy!

How would you recommend getting started fixing boats?

Having a gas of a time..

Are you single?

And how did you get a $2.00 boat...? 🤨

Cool boat! I had an idea for the outboard motor mount on the transom: if you wanted leave it where it is you could attach a brace between the mount (where you plan to put the backing plate) and the deck. Create a triangle. One on each edge of the backing plate.

Great boat tour! Excited to watch this transformation!

Wanna sell the bracket? Not kidding, I can pick it up.

Nothing more expensive than a cheap boat.

Woods design?

Amateur homeowner boat repair... Attach a safetychain for when the motor attempts to escape to the bottom. Scarey ? Those shims are scarey !!

I saw you guys in Emeryville a few weeks ago. Good luck! Have a great adventure.

Yeah, how about not running garbage music in the background while talking? If ya could, that'd be great.

Letssss Goooooo!

so beautiful!!!!

You should have haggled. They saw you coming....

At first I thought it was a Wharram. You have your work cut out for you, but in the end it will be well worth it. Great video.

Well you got you money's worth and then some, the mast alone is worth more than you paid 👍Those bilges have been dry for a long time, which is promising, a good dry hull is a great starting point and a solid foundation to build on, seems like a great project, so I hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Pretty good!

Is it me or is the camera stabilizing effect making anyone else motion sick?

a 15 HP....i would have gotten a 4 to 6HP....how heavy is that thing?

Awesome Cruiser bro can't wait for my videos it's so difficult to get these channels all the best on your journey 🎉

the positive buoyancy foam placement is a bit of a thought tangle with catamarans ... it's 2#/ft^3, ( but displaces 64# per ), so it does add weight, but the piece of mind is worth it. the tangle comes in where the pontoons are the best place to put the weight, by weight....but any adjacent cabin areas are the best place for it by the insulation properties. so I don't know how that's going to pan out, but there are other forms of marine insulation which also add positive buoyancy.....which makes the design process more convoluted, but weight the boat, and do the math along the way. gotta get it up on the hard, let it dry out, repair and seal up the wood first...otherwise the boundary will form a place where moisture can fester. penetrating epoxy, micro balloons, and 4oz glass weave comes to mind. you might want to consider ditching the Bimini , and making a short hard dodger with divinycell. I think you could just design and cut the foam, and tack it together with bits of tape, here and there, then start glassing the seems, and work into a structure in place, one step at a time

good move ditching the spinnaker. just clutters things up, makes for complications and broken stuff, and only adds a little extra speed at the point of sail where you don't need it; AND adds drag when you don't need any extra drag. so vamboose and good residence to the spinnaker, plenty of other things that need your attention there ... you're off to good start having the intelligence to do that.

Get some real hard 8-10mm thickrubber pads... To clamp your motor to the hull they will absorb some of the high frequency vibes and noise from the motor and prop drive. Woods fine but it will rot over time and squash down with less return .. just a 💭 thought. Putting the motor back in the deck boz means you probably cannot steer it like a transom motor mounted engine. So a bit more limmited manoeuvring in tight spaces. 🤷🏻 Cest la Vie.

What an awesome way to learn about yachts and get out on the water! Sure it'll be a lot of work but it'll be a lot of fun too. Look forward to seeing how you get on with the fixup and when you get out properly sailing!

You pay $1 too much!

🔥🔥🔥

those brackets a crap, i had one it shook on mine with a 5hp but in 1,000 hours it never fell o ff

This is the stuff! Good to get to know you.

This is my dream

Dad loves it kids sell it for 2 dollars Sounds about righf

Are you even aware that silver is a unit of global monetary exchange? I have not heard you mention this once. There was a reason that silver was hidden on the boat. What disturbs me is that you are not even informing your audience, about the economic reasons for owning silver as a sailor.

Hey are y’all still in Monterey?

When Bidenomics crashes the economy, that silver will jump in value by 350% to 400%. Save it until then.
