@@podocrypto6072 Dude, it is just a bit of feedback not a dick, you don't have to take it so hard! I have greatly enjoyed what Billy and Sierra have done over the years, I am truly happy for the success they have had. I just don't find the new boat particularly interesting, not that there is anything wrong with it. It is just that they are incredibly good at fixing up boats, they are very real about it and that is what has brought me to their channel and I would much like to see more of it.

@@RenegadeADV Have you ever rehabbed an old boat? I have! It's a PITA and extremely hard work!!! They did it though and finished the project, which many would not be able to finish a project like that. So they now have a new boat, so they can go enjoy their lives they dreamt about, and have fun adventures, which brought me back to the channel when they had their 1st cat in the Bahamas. So they don't need some cruddy boat project to create content, THEY are the content! So follow their journey or go find other boat rehab projects to follow. For me and many here, we'd rather see them explore the entire Caribbean and beyond, rather than fix up an old turd like this one in the vid, over the next few years, costing them tens of thousands of $$$ and grueling hard work, only to end up with an old polished turd of a boat! Take a look at their last trawler project, with the cost involved and all their hard work and living expenses to do so, with both of them doing it full time, they only made what they could work full time at some easy job making minimum wage, without all the hassle, sweat, breathing all the dust, paint and fiberglass into all hours of the night with sore muscles. It's just worth it to create good content, when they already have a beautiful starship that will take them to the next level financially with Great content they can create with it.

I am an old man now, but when I was a kid my father and uncle bought and refurbished smaller wooden cabin cruisers in SoCal as weekend/afterwork projects. Chris Craft, Owens, etc. It was a lot of work. I spent many summer sanding mahogany and teak decks etc in a boatyard. I can see the attraction to this kind of work, but you have to love doing it. When you did your Trawler it stirred a lot of memories. I have done several cars over the years, only a couple of small ski boats...jet drive hot rods. You did a great job on your Trawler, and a very good evaluation of this boat. Billy seeking out the rot and the line of submergence was dead on. You can really step in a mess if all the wiring and electronics have been subjected to salt water. I see Billy's point in the possibilities, and Sierra's take is valid as well. I think this boat would have a real price tag of about 200k by the time you did the work, paid the yard fees, did the engine rebuilds, pulled the transmissions and freshened, fuel tanks cleaned and tested, generator (s) , etc etc. I think walking away was the right move. I would love to see more of your "boat hunting" trips.

Go sailing! I noticed the dad's did not volunteer to dive in and help, LOL. Maybe if all four of you tackled it, it could make sense. One note about the mold on the wood. That is VERY hard to get off! I have found that NO amount of sanding will get rid of it. Once it gets under the finish, it is in there for good. If you want it to look nice, you have to start over, which would be a huge job on that boat.

Just fix it up good enough to turn it. No need to go full "Mountain Mist" which was beautiful BTW. Get a diesel engine hack to get the three engines running. Would be easier if the engines were pickled after raising but not necessary. Put a couple ozone generators inside for a week, then clean it up and flip it from there. That's a minimal investment to make it operational (not new engines, just running), and clean. Get rid of the mold and mildew. That would sell to someone who wants a lesser of a project they can handle. That could be profitable.

I personally enjoy your unfiltered sailing excursions. This was fun to watch. I certainly wouldn’t want to tackle it. Reminded me of parlay when Colin got his boat out from the hurricane damaged and it had sunk. if you found somebody that was going to live on it full-time and dock it in Sausalito Francisco, Florida it would be a cool boat for someone. But trying to flip it you’re looking for a needle in a haystack that’s interested. In the meantime you’re paying for it to be docked somewhere. Plus it had that funky layout. I got offered a whole business for a dollar once. After looking into it, it definitely was not worth it even for a dollar. Sierra, you’re absolutely right when she start looking at all the different factors. It changes the amounts and changes the whole game. And unless you have somebody as knowledgeable as Billy, you’d be in deep Doodoo. With all that said, I really enjoyed the ride along and talking it all out afterwards I found it very interesting. So thank you.

Thanks so much for the walk-through and inspection! I usually pay a professional to do that, and I would recommend that if someone was looking to buy this boat, they still get a professional inspection. For example, those engines might not be in as bad of shape as you think. If the engines weren't running when they were submerged in water, there's a chance that just draining the oil and transmission fluids, adding fresh fuel, and replacing the battery might be all that's needed to get them running again.

That boat would be good for a Maine lobsterman who could bring it up and haul it to his barn. He could pull the main engines and rebuild them in the off season over winter while stripping the trawler back to a working vessel. It's a lot easier to get rid of stuff than it is to clean and rebuild all that interior space. He could turn it into a split wheel house open back deck. A good sawzall and some know how, she'll be on the banks fishing within a season.

What does it need? 1. Rebuild engines and transmissions, 2. Rebuild/replace generator, 3. rewire boat, 4. all new cushions and fabrics, 5. rebuild wet decks. Depending on how the steering is set up you might also need to rebuild the steering. And on and on as you find more stuff that requires rebuild/replacement. I think that you are looking at a lot more than a $100K project. Heck yard time alone could easily run $10K-$20K depending on where you did the work. Even if I was younger, I would never take this sort of project on, particularly for what is likely a one off boat. Furthermore, if you took the project on with the intention of reselling at a profit - forget it.

17:57 I suspect that as it's a working boat hull it's a solid glass hull and decks.. just the framing beneath is ..either open structure or may have warped ... A multi meter for metal and studs and damp would help and tapping a couple of transects of the exposed cabin deck. A broom stale gives consistent results and allows you to do it standing. Mobile Phones with Flir/ Thermal imaging can also reveal what's underneath as well like when condensate forms on a car bonnet or roof and shows the frame.

Most people don't realize that a 57-foot boat is nearly three times the volume of a 42-foot vessel. Although this one seems unusually cramped. Maybe because of its very heavy construction. As the saying goes if you don't fall in love with the boat on the first day, you never will.

I think you should live the life that makes you happy! You have to live your dream, not someone else’s. You made a huge financial commitment in the catamaran with the dream of living, sailing and adventure on your new boat. If spending 14 hours a day sweating in the yard for a year isn’t part of your dream right now and runs contrary to your new purchase - most of us will understand. I have no doubt a restoration project is somewhere in the future. On your time line. Enjoy your new boat! I would!

If I were 30 something, if I were a diesel mechanic, a marine plumber, a marine electrician and a marine carpenter, or had partners with some of these skills, and if I had 100K in the bank, this could be an interesting project provided that the price of sale at the end would justify the year or two of work necessary. One would need access to a lot of machinery. What's the market for a used boat of this type, even if you changed the interior layout while you had it apart? BTW, it is possible to kill the mold with an ozone generator, but it would require tenting the boat completely and everything would have to be washed afterward. Ozone generators can be rented. It was a pleasure watching you think this through out loud and on camera. Budapeter

Definitely an interesting video, thanks. Being somewhat familiar with the situation of buying and restoring boats, there are some things I could recommend. First of all, yes, it's a sweet deal. There is way more than 1$ in value on that boat, zero doubt. Like Billy said, the hull has a pretty good reputation, so chances are just that is worth it too. I would be less than hesitant to bet those engines will start right up. I've seen that happen before several times. Quick check around, new fluids and chances are they will run. I've seen a Mercedes after being submerged for a week, start up just like that, with absolutely nothing done to it, other than turn the key. This is a sweet deal, provided it suits you. The most important part of doing such a restoration is knowing what you want to do with it, all the way from not having it yet, to not having it any more. Most of the gain is in the hours you put in it, so like Billy said, this is a full time job, and maybe even more than that. I doubt you will spend more than a few grand on parts for those engines if you do all the work yourself, and also for the rest of the boat, DIY is the big money saver. After that the main cost will be storage and a place to work. So much so, that dragging her halfway across the country might pay for itself. Don't be discouraged by the mold. Just put the whole ship in a bag and thoroughly gas it. The rest is just cleaning up, lots more DIY and yes, most of it does clean up, off, out, or over. There is plenty on this boat that Sierra would throw out in a heart beat, that can be cleaned up to look so good even she wouldn't throw it out any more. For what I could see, it hasn't been plundered, and a lot of the hardware looks okay. So yeah,... sweet deal, but make sure you have a plan and have your life support generously covered. Provided you do have that covered, my cost estimate with full DIY is less than 60 grand, but clearly over 25, and it will take the famous and traditional 2 years.

That's a hard nope! "If" a guy was a retired diesel mechanic with a place to work on it and loved sport fishing it might be a great project to get him off the couch. He could do all of the high $$$ work and pay a crew to handle the cleaning and interior refurbish he might have something. Pull the engines, get em in a workshop and go through them while others are handling the interior and any fiberglass. Fresh electrical, fresh instruments, this is the only way it could work in my mind.

I looked at that same boat when they wanted like $10-15k, felt it was too much for me to take on, alone and while working out of state at the time. They told me HGTV was looking to buy it. So be on the look out for a new HGTV produced show where they flip boats instead of houses. Tried to get some friends and father to partner but some people are afraid of these types of “investments” but I can guarantee you once that HGTV boat flipping show comes out, everyone that can’t afford to flip houses is going to try to flip boats and this market of $1-100 boats will be gone forever.

I haven’t heard about that , but I certainly hope it doesn’t happen after some of the stories that I guess everyone heard about the lawsuits and the homes that never got finished , or only enough for the film crews to come out & then everyone sort of disappeared…..it attracts unsavory people and gives a bad reputation to anyone who flips houses more because they enjoy it than because they’re trying to get rich or scam people. And it does make ALL the great deals disappear or make them much harder to find & harder to sell… I flip houses, much the same way they do the boats, I live in the house and work on it 2-3 years, sell it and find another one. I’ve done over 8, learned a lot , met some really neat people & it’s enabled me to live in some places that were “different”, but the great deals are getting harder to find because of HGTV making it seem cheaper & different than it really is.

No it's not boring!! Did enjoy seeing the old boat ,but now it's time to take the cat on new adventures unknown waters lots of stuff to explore, when you say your going south for hurricane season what does that mean ? Thru the panmal canel around Costa Rica maybe????

Loved the video and the thoughts behind your choices. I think that boat would be an awesome "looper" boat with the right remodel for a single couple with a doggo. 5' draft maybe too much?

I deleted a couple of comments I do believe you made the best choice that you could have made at this point in time in life all we want to see you guys do right now is sail upon your new vessel and enjoy life so that you don't have to work so damn hard

What is up with the original Tula? I remember you bought her back last year. Where is she at? Does she have a refurb? Is she resold? Are family or friends sailing her?

You should of seen if there was water in the internals of all the motors , camera inspection, how many soft spots ? It seems like there are a lot of skepticism, a lot could be cleaned and reusable, it doesn’t need to be a rush job you are young and at $1 buck , I would think finding some where to dry dock it could be a large problem buying a chunk of property to haul it up on and putting up a shed with power or even solar , if I was young I would definitely consider doing it , but I’m so old when I fart dust comes out 😄

The way some of us boomer hippies turned yuppies with mechanical skills and no aversion to hard work increased our net worth rapidly was buying run down houses, pouring a lot of sweat equity into them then flipping them for a profit. That ‘ship has sailed’ (pardon the pun) but doing the same thing with run down boats way to do the same thing today.

low head room on engine room is a no no , imagine going from port side to starboard for an oil change.. no thanks. I once worked as port engineer servicing commercial vessels. I'd avoid this boat specially twin screws with dirty oily bilges.If you are young with limited funds lots of time you can do it, but in the end can you ever recover your expenses. rotten wood on boats is a big headache also. A more manageable size maybe a 42 footer, bigger boats are no longer appreciated, cost of marina storage , more fuel just don't make sense anymore, compared to a 23 -28 footer towing it home yourself and doing all the cleaning etc with no marina fees. Center consoles seem to be most popular now.

It would be cool if you took on a Hobie Cat or something like that. I’m doing one now, but you two are much more experienced and knowledgeable. I’d love to see how you would take on soft hulls and stuff.
