Very nice. In today’s world there are no boats being built. As an example, early in this vid can be seen a whaler with a picture window in its side. That piece of plastic had to be trembling when the old school 38 Hat showed up.

Omg awesome work

What a mess

Perfection. . All I ask is who did it .. how long dud it take and how much did it all cost?

I'll bet that boat does 29 knots

I'll bet he's working on some other stuff

Lou who was your mechanic

i would love to see before top speed and after top speed

Came for the boat got washed away with pictures of the wake.

I don't believe my family has ever had a boat that we would do whatever it takes to keep it going. I know a lot of people want to keep a boat for sentimental reasons and that's fine. If you look at some of the bigger boats today they incorporate in their design to have their engines removed without having to cut holes in the hall to remove them. Our current bow is a 100 ft ocean Alexandra and if the motors on that needs to come out all they have to do is lift some panels and you can pull it out. I just think if you're going to go this route you really must love your boat. It's not cheap to do something like that and the motor work alone is a small fortune. I do love how you videoed the process so others can share in your adventure.

Great to see a job done properly, with pride and attention to detail

Great overhaul! Please post some more videos without music so we can hear the sweet sound of those turbocharged Detroits.

Would have been nice if you could have turned the music off while running the boat, would have loved to hear the engines!

Very nice work. What is cruising speed and top speed?

Did the boat sink before restoration?

Awesome job! Is it worth it? Financially?

Beautiful, I'm working on 34 right now and hope to be that clean looking.

Where did you send valve covers to be chromed?

Did it improve performance!

Wow I want to fo something like this I definitely don't have the money nor would I buy a million dollar yacht So let's be realistic and keep it at or around 100k give or take a few pennies Do you mind sharing what something like this would cost Another big portion of my budget will have to go to transport CV costs I live in corpus christi TX and most boats I've seen are in Florida

It appears that you used the old engine mounts again. Why?

Nice job.The customer must love that boat.

OMG!! Looks so nice and clean!! :D

Great job! LOVE them two stroke Detroit’s. But I hope you didn’t spin junk Fram filter’s back on!

Have a 69 41 sportfisher done over.didnt use this crappy music in a year it took me to finish.

Why does this stupid ass music need to be involved.for god sake crap music.

Beautiful engine work. I'd be interested to see more about the work of prepping and restoring the engine compartment and what mods were done in the cabin.

Beautiful Engine room! It would be a pleasure to just check the Oil on that Craft! Well done. And Hey its super cool what was done on old engines , and with upgrades sure it has Plenty of power... nothin wrong with that at all.

good job i am in the process of doing the same thing i wish i could video it too but i am doing all the work my self.

Beautiful work. Thanks for taking the time to document the job, too.

Awesome video.
