These are such great boats Love the channel

Tuba time👍

I really like this setup, thank for posting.

I bought one, they work great

Just found your channel. Love your videos, and your obvious mechanical and video editing skills. I have a 97 C34 Mk2 on Lake Huron in the Great Lakes. I have pulled the transmission for a re-build (owner inflicted damage) and tried to pull the damper plate for inspection and possible replacement. I was down to the last two cap screws and didn't they both strip! I tried the usual methods and when they failed I tried to use a screw extractor to remove them and broke the extractor tip off in the @#"%$ cap screw. Clearances are tight for a vice grip or small pipe wrench to grab the head of the screw. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Boat is winterized on the hard until April, but I'm getting my hip replaced next Tuesday so if I can't get these out by Monday I'll either have to pay someone to do this job or wait until I can resume crawling again in the spring.

That’s a big ass sax‼️🤣

Yours is in dramatically better condition than the one I recently acquired. I really wish they made new stoves like this, seems like everything is propane these days.

Thanks for sharing!

Man, if I knew 1/16th of what you do I’d feel like a friggin’ genius. I’d like a sailboat but I can only afford an old one that would need a bunch of these same repairs. By the time I learned how to do it all and actually completed it I’d be too old to sail. Lol. Really excellent work, I enjoyed seeing the progress.

Final product looks like?

Thankyou very much.

I really enjoy your channel. I like your no nonsense explanations, and how you get to the point! The topics you cover are spot on , and helpful! And your solutions to repairs and upgrades shows you know what your talking about! Thanks!

I am looking forward to seeing the whole finished project, and to see it in action. I have a 1987 boat that is similar to the Catalina 30. As you know , the amount of space over the chain locker is limited. I'm seeing a few ways people are mounting the windlass, but it looks to me, your way is likely the best way to place it.

I'm gonna do the same to mine. What did you wrap it with?

Your editing is hilarious, ty for that 😂

Yay cheap Chinese world changing brilliance

There's no fooling you, that's for sure. Great work. Best regards from Jarle

Ultimate neighbor to have, great job staying on task(s)

Hi, I would like to ask where did you apply the 3m 4000? and was it specifically for UV protection?

I gotta do this to my Cat 25 and this was very helpful. thanks

Can't wait to see your ground tackle set-up.

How much heat did you apply to separate the foils? Heatgun for a while?

that's pretty cool!, thanks for sharing, love it when I see a new ep from this channel!

Wooo! more!

👍🏻

I love your videos. I have a 27' Catalina that I should be working on. I like your work . Please consider leaving the background music off.

Nice job. Looks great. What kind of paint did you use (8:40)?

How much are you selling the trailer for?

Would you get a 27 again? I am thinking the 30 might have just a bit more room? (two adults coastal cruising)

Did you ever think about fiberglassing the deck to the hull for a totally water tight seal?

That was weird

The opening ‼️👍🏻

Very helpful for a new boat owner. So you'd recommend simply cleaning the teak with soak and water solution, sanding it, and then apply the teak sealer?

As a brand new boat owner, this video was very informative. As for the work you did on the cockpit area and deck, did you wet sand all of it with with the 3M product? I thought that was what you said but just wanted to confirm. My top side needs some cleaning and l'd love to replicate whatever you did. Also, did you use that pledge product on the non-skid parts of the topside? If so, how did you apply that? Thanks in advance.

😎

C27, Great video. What did you do in your previous life that you know how to do all this stuff? Inquiring minds want to know.

Good video

👍

Nice video. That was how my water heater was plumbed before I removed it. I also did the C-direct alternator upgrade and rewired to a volt meter instead of ammeter. I have been thinking about an autopilot for years but still have kids to put through college.

Glad to see you back posting videos?!! I enjoy the content and your delivery.

Thanks for posting, the Mighty Car Mods bit at the end is hilarious 😂

That was a very good explanation, funny enough that's usually what you get when people who know what they are talking about explains stuff. I wish it was more of that going on, on the internet these days. Thanks for shearing good information. Best regards from Jarle

😂😂😂😂😂

I used Butyl tape and it failed immediately. 👹

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Did you win the lottery? lol...

Finally I found someone who’s like me who knows stuff. I like how you explain how you do the job. I hate watching morons using tools wrong and having to watch 10 minutes of the guys face before I see something good. I’m a new subscriber since I’m restoring a ‘70s Macgregor.

Wow that turd flew right out of that guy's mouth

So I was out the other day and one of my shrouds came off my spreader and my mast took a hard bend. I don't think there's any kinks in it but there's definitely a bend. Trying to determine whether or not to replace the mast. I noticed the issue when I went to tack I happened to notice the shroud was loose and when I looked up I saw the mast bent like a banana! I de-powered as fast as I could and had to motor a couple of miles to the inlet but made it to port in one piece.

Awesome stuff man. Do you happen to have access to a C27 trailer that I can rent or know anyone who has one?? I may want to get a C27 and transport it to my place in the High Desert. Do you have a Instagram? Thanks man.
