1 YEAR REBUILDING AN OLD BOAT INTO A MODERN YACHT TIMELAPSE [START TO FINISH]

After 1 year of building our old boat it has finally become the off grid yacht we dreamed of. Without having any experience this was a challenging project. Everything had to be custom because nothing is square. Thank you to everyone who has been watching the journey we couldn't have done it without your support! A full walk through tour will be up asap!

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Thanks so much for being here with us throughout this journey. If you enjoyed the transformation please give the video a share and a thumbs up! Here is the link to the full reveal $60,000 Modern Yacht Tour REVEAL OF OUR NEW BOAT! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jF6YdJyvhaurg7M

[@tunstavern5838]

This is the manifestation of what a dream come true looks like; all the time, hard work, blood, sweat and determination. Simply incredible!

[@rlbass44386]

Wow! Can’t wait to see the final reveal. It’s been a “boat load of work” I’ve enjoyed following your journey.

[@hardpass9855]

Hard work and determination looks amazing!! 🍾🥂🙌🏻

[@onenuttybuddy]

A tremendous amount of work has gone into this refit. Matt, your carpentry skills have come along way during the project. I know all of your sailing friends will be amazed at the transformation of your boat interior. I don't think you could expect a much better outcome considering your skills and budget. Bravo to you both. Time to have a PARTY!!! All I need to know is when, and where. I'll help you fill up that booze locker! Later! ME

[@colleenkidwell6871]

I imagine that when you were putting this video together the entirety of all the work you have both done was mind blowing. You have made her your boat in every sense of the word. Congratulations! Looking forward to your adventures.

[@jak1421]

Guys, I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed watching your videos over the past couple of years. I've been pretty much housebound with spine issues and living through your adventure has been a great relief. Your tenacity and work ethic is incredible and it's great to see you so close to the conclusion of your refit. I'm pushing 70 years old now, but even at 20 I would never have had the guts to undertake such a project as you have. All of God's blessings to you both on your adventure. Have a ball. You've certainly earned it. I wish I could send more, but I'm on a fixed income these days. But it's certainly worth being able to live vicariously through y'all. Now, go have some fun!

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Thank you Jay 🙏 we are glad that you enjoy the videos and we are very happy to be almost finished and sailing again soon

[@larrypostma2866]

I relate to this so much. I broke my back at 28. I’m 42 now and so thankful for the opportunity to explore the world with good people through their posts and videos. I hope you are doing well and find a way to venture a bit farther out. I know some days getting to the bathroom feel impossible but keep pushing yourself where you can.

[@leebenson4874]

@@larrypostma2866 Some days just suck!!!

[@richardrumplik7023]

I’m the same here at 69 years old and spine issues Jay you said it everything I wanted to! It Makes me proud to Say This Couple deserve All the Blessings that God Has already Blessed Them With 🙏🎚 And Grow Old Together 😎

[@warrenthomas1253]

Jan K maybe before world war 2 you would of been able to do a project like this. But from the late 40s until a couple of years ago you would not of been able to tackle this project full time unless you were independently wealthy, and in the same time the wealthy would not get their hands dirty. During those years they paid someone to do anything and everything. Is why they were useless but our economy was great because it created job's. With remote jobs and the ability to turn your project into a job making videos this might be the absolute golden age for living a meaningful quality life. I'm 56 yrs old and it seems like my age group missed out on a adult real middle class. I say adult because we understood it, saw it as children and then had it ripped from our hands and stolen from us. Probably why my generation saw the explosion of drug abuse and failed marriage. And now we're to old to engage in this lifestyle. If you're like me and didn't give up or give in to the widespread greed your body is broken from the physical labor we underwent transitioning from the old hands on work to now a push button machine run job's. I truly feel they threw my generations meaningful quality of life into the garbage heap to rot. it's also why we see so many people from my generation that see Donald J Trump as their leader. They want to smash and get revenge. They feel like they have been sacrificed and it's too late for them. I'm not using this as my soapbox to yell and cry poor poor me, I just want to make it clear to the young adult generation take advantage of all the options you guys have and I know a lot of you understand what I'm saying because you are the children of that generation and hopefully what I said will give you a understanding of why your parents had a tough time making it difficult for you in your youth. But hopefully it made you stronger. Well it didn't kill you your here so you had to get stronger. Live life like it's your last day on earth believe me it's much shorter than we think.

[@ibismpm3655]

Ok... someone has to say it... Man! That was a boatload of work! 😄 Really, it has been awesome watching you guys dive into this enormous project. You made the best of every material and tool you had available, and the result is outstanding. It's amazing to see how far you have come and it will be fun to watch what you step into next. Thanks for taking us along.

[@thebetaguy]

would have Keel'd most people.

[@jcmass41]

Well said, Well said!! 😂👏 Been watching these guys when they were just getting started, loved the honesty and the “We’ll do it Our Way” attitude!! Ole Matty and Kristen are some the real ones!

[@scottw7141]

Yawl ought to quit with the puns.

[@bhauser4311]

When I got back from Nam I went to work in a boat yard on the Chesapeake Bay. They called me Boatyard Bill. I did what you just did. I met my wife while there, living on my boat. I will be 80 soon. I remember how it was back then. You did a great job! I have been around the world a couple of times since then, we are still married with grand children. I hope you stay with your work ethic, it will carry you forward to many more exciting adventures. I will miss your updates. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. ...... GBU !!!!! I christen you "Master Ship Builder".

[@M-ANTONY-888]

Best 30 minute transformation ever. Brilliant job

[@jeffreycrockett6847]

The most impressive thing about all of this is how without having a workshop, the boat on the water and limited resources it turned out beautiful. I know you probably can find small flaws or wish you could have done something better, but it looks great on video.

[@TropicalHomesteading]

Also, the fact that you did this in Puerto Rico. It would have been mucho easier if you had been in the States or a location with better facilities and access to materials and parts.

[@paulwalker6045]

after a life time in high end interiors sets inc boats,youre right video is fake news,dont ever pay market price for amateur work,

[@taffythegreat1986]

It’s amazing how they use a spirit level when floating on the water 😂

[@dennisd6527]

That was a huge transformation project. It came out gorgeous, and you both are to be commended. First, for not killing each other, but more importantly, you made due with the tools and supplies you had, and it came out looking fantastic. Well done " Larry Laminato" and " Boatyard Betty".

[@vorovee3]

hysterical, that's EXACTLY what I was going to say! Only adding that I wonder if the person that sold them the boat has been watching the channel. If so he must be amazed!

[@LumiaScience]

Out of the 7,000 sailing videos I've watched, this one is the most extraordinary, talented, and remarkable of them all. Your commitment is awe inspiring. Thank you.

[@jacksonvillejetriders6529]

Had to stop and say, it’s a team effort of course with the physical and the channel filming/ editing, but Matt is the MVP! Dude did a lot of work! Congrats you two and a great video! Makes me want to go out and do something special with my life 😂

[@Locajabra]

Mat and Kristen, this time lapse video is stunning. It really reinforces what you guys have accomplished without any previous experience and on a budget. Hats off, kudos, congratulations, hip hip hooray and everything that can celebrate your achievement. You have taken a 40 year old boat and given her new life and value. That sure as hell ain’t no five thousand dollar boat anymore.

[@bernardpeters1856]

Wow, it's easy to forget all of the hard work you two put into this project but this video really puts it into perspective. Unbelievable results and you should both be really proud of your accomplishments. Time to stock-up the booze locker and get this sailing party started!

[@brianharris3622]

Honestly, Truly, Sincerely, blown away congrats great job your not in the service industry anymore baby your bonafida filmmakers evermore!!!

[@flightplan1000]

What amazes me is not only the fine, exhausting work but the fact that the two of you are still together!

[@jayjackson7982]

They said in at least one episode that this is the reason they are still together. The shared joys and trials of this type of life.

[@dmack1827]

This has become one of the best sailing channels on YT. I can't believe how nice it turned out with not much more than hand tools and a plan. Awesome job.

[@scudellercathy3443]

De l’OR entre les mains , fantastique !

[@user-earthandfire]

DAMN!!!! All of those hours of mine wasted watchin your incredible refit videos. All those productive hours of mine gone...gone gone.. never to be regained again. If only I had have known that I could have just watched this one. (love the channel )

[@portfoliofotoz]

WOW! I'm blown away by the planning, editing and sheer volume of footage you had to go through to create this video. The refit was massive, but the creation of the video was (to me) just as impressive.

[@roncrater5878]

Simply Amazing! Matt, you did an unbelievable job, and Kristen you are the best! Taking on a job like this with no experience is crazy but you two stuck with it and BAM!!! There should be a youtube award for this project!

[@careystravels]

Yeah! Why can't you make it into a documentary!!!? Start Shopping it!!!!!!!

[@peterkaiser734]

Milwaukee should give you a sponsorship! lol shout out to the circular saw and drill..

[@CNubel]

The first SGBU video I ever saw was "BOAT YARD (PART 1) COMPLETELY ROTTEN BULKHEADS!" in December of 2021 shortly after you docked in Puerto Rico. I was so taken with your story that I went back and started with your first video and watched them all in order. Since then, I've bought the T-Shirt, and now I'd like to either treat you two to dinner, or put a little gas in the tank of that new engine. You've done a fantastic job as many have told you here in the comments. Now it's time to stow the lines, weigh the anchor, unfurl the sails, and return to the sea. Best of luck on your continued journey. I, as well as many others, will be here watching.

[@markshutt1476]

Wow! I am impressed. It's not just the scale of work you did on your boat, that alone would be enough, it is the unique circumstances and conditions. On a small resort island with no vehicle to use when you want, getting materials to and from, etc. I can only imagine how it must feel to be done, or done enough. Congratulations.

[@MrOso36]

I don't know what is more impressive the amount of time spent working on the boat or the effort it took to video and edit all the content. This montage of the boat's progression from old to modern is impressive to say th leads. Can not wait for the full reveal. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@dunk856]

I bet your school wood work teachers were beaming with pride, a staggering transformation, you should be so proud, thanks for letting us in to watch it

[@brianregan1]

I know most of your sub's can not see it watching the videos every week, but when you put all the work you did in to one video it shows how incredibly insane that refit was . The sheer amount of work, energy, blood sweat and tears you put in to making your boat newer, beautiful, more organized, better to look at, to live in and to adventure on. I congratulate you both not only on a job well done but for keeping your sanity and maintaining your relationship throughout. these kinds of projects can sometimes be relationship enders, the stress, the exhaustion, the mess, all of it takes a toll . you two rock and I hope you know that, keep on keepin on.

[@RachaelSA]

You watch the little video's weekly and dont realise just how much work this has been. Well done.

[@michaelhano8701]

Thank you for re-capping the beginning of your adventure. You two are my favorite sailing couple!

[@56Spookdog]

WOW! I have a new appreciation for the work you two have done it’s outstanding! The time, effort, skill, sweat and outcome all while you’re videoing and editing in the heat and humidity and still maintaining a sense of humor. I have not seen a better video demonstrating the time and effort it takes to remodel the inside of a boat. I have seen more than one boat get scraped thinking I have the skills to tear it all out and remodel it. Bravo 👏👏👏 your boat looks fantastic!

[@shturer]

Вы проделали гигантский просто титанический труд😊 вы молодцы 👍🏻

[@victorvelazquez8187]

Beautiful work Mat and Kristen! You are a testament to what you can achieve through hard work and perseverance. All the while sharing with us in PR our challenges and hardships, heat waves and hurricanes... and everything else. As we say: Life in the tropics ain't easy! Thank you for taking us along for the ride in your journey.

[@dan1969]

absolutely spectacular. both of you should be extremely proud not only of the job u have accomplished but also of the sheer joy you guys bring us every week. congrats . cant wait to see next week

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Thanks Dan! See u next week

[@bgonz3599]

Wow the final scene of the before and after is INSANE! HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO YOU BOTH!

[@brianmcguire5189]

You guys are the king of sailing vlogs cause you both keep it real! Awesome Job, damn Matt saved a boat load of money doing it himself!!!! Great job both of you✌️✌️✌️

[@joebates831]

WOW> What a great video; and a great audio playing behind it. It's a homage to your unbleivable accomplishments.

[@denniskittle8751]

Wow! My favorite video of them all. It was like a travel back in time and re-living the entire experience with you again. Matt, you have some amazing skills and your imagination of what you wanted the outcome of the boat to look like were impeccable. There were times I was wondering what the hell you were doing only to be amazed at the outcome. Fantastic job! Kristen, you have the most amazing heart and soul. I truly feel it was the bond that kept you two together during the entire process of the project. I'm sure Matt can be a handful sometimes, lol, but I really admire the way you look at him in a heartfelt and loving way. Thank you for keeping us all up to date with your progress. Looking forward to the final reveal.

[@truman42746]

I have watched every video of the rebuild and can't wait till the next one. The kitchen showed it's going to be amazing! Kristen, most people don't realize how much work went into this time-lapsed video. You did an amazing job with it! Looking forward to next week.

[@jaymcnab5579]

I love you two, what an amazing adventure to watch. I started out as "one of those guys" always looking at what you were doing wrong, but now I have come to the dark side and realized you did the best you could with limited skills and resources all why staying in paradise. Matt you really have shown an amazing level of improvement and the shit you pull off with those tools blows my mind. And Kristen, what can I say, very few ladies on this planet would or could put up with this project, getting down and dirty with all the projects, all why staying behind your man and telling him he got this ....no problem. Thanks for the tip on buying foam for the cushions! That being said, let's get sailing! Looking forward to seeing you in paradise on my own boat. God Bless and may you have fair winds and following seas.

[@billgomez06]

You guy's deserve gold I hope this new boat treats you both like royalty you've done an incredible job especially under difficult circumstances you're both champion's in my book my many respects to you both. WELL DONE!!

[@hobimizyelken8725]

Standing ovation guys! I’ve enjoyed each and every episode of this refit series. But this final part showed how far you went with limited resources. GBU is now one of the best but funniest sailing channel on youtube. Larry Laminato, Boatyard Betty, congratulations! 😂😂😂

[@danbarber9776]

The thing I think of when I watch this is how much work you two have put in on this project. Not just on the boat but also the videos. This one must have taken forever to cut and past all these little pieces together. Can't wait to see you back on the open water. You've certainly earned a few years vacation.

[@grom7826]

What a great couple, working together and with so much energy ! Friends AND lovers, a dream relationship for sure.

[@rickmastenbroek5447]

Dunno what made me happier ... The cleaning of the engine bay, the wood fineer on the walls or the red paintjob of the motor. 🤩

[@leeshort1902]

Wow !! That was so much work. You both did amazing. Its been a real treat and fun to watch. Plenty of gangster moves in there. It just looks incredible. My hat is off to you Matt. Looking forward to some sailing soon. Well done Kristen for the videos and moral support. Great team effort. What an achievement. Really pretty unbelievable what u both have done. Im in awe 👍😎

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

This was so awesome to watch the sense of joy and pride I felt for you two was incredible even though we've never met. The editing and musical choices were amazing and so very well done. What you kids have accomplished is definitely something to be very and I mean very proud of. With the tools you had to work with and materials available to you, you've really pulled off something almost magical and unbelievable if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes Matt but I never doubted you'd be able to do it. Kristen, (I hope that's spelled correctly), your talent with the camera, editing, sowing, musical selection, putting up with Matt and all the work you've put in this project is on another level, just wow. You two have shown that, yes if you want it and are willing to put in the dedication and work it takes to make it happen dreams really can become reality. I can't wait to see the full reveal because just the glimpse so far is an astonishing transformation. This definitely isn't a $5000.00 boat any more, this is a yacht that is not only sea worthy but functional, beautiful and actually quite stunning both inside and out that anyone in their right mind would be more than happy and proud to call home. I really hope you two get to finally get out there and live this dream you've worked so hard for and truly enjoy it for many, many years and decades to come... (The putting up with Matt part was a joke of course as you two are and have something truly special). Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...

[@lavonyoung2366]

I would like to say that I have been a patron from the start. Mostly because you guys were so funny. Your lack of experience saiing and doing repairs was hilarious. But your growth as sailors and repairs is extraordinary. You guys are truly inspirational. Thanks for the great videos. 👍

[@SteifWood]

Looking forward to Kristen on the bow yelling "Finallyyyyyyyyyyy!"

[@bobuncle8704]

Kristen and Matt(and Bear), what a stunning transformation. Looking forward to the full reveal video. Well done guys. 👍👍

[@KidneyKiller71]

Looks fantastic!!! I'm sure a lot of us that watch are living vicariously through you. I do. I know you are extremely proud, rightfully so, of what you have accomplished. I know I am and I only watch the hard work! Now is the time to start enjoying the fruits of your labor. Safe, fun sailing is on the horizon. Enjoy!!

[@rogerparris6742]

Matt and Kristen, you two have amazed me with how you have handled all of these projects with your boat. No matter what the problem, you guys never give up and end up doing such an awesome job. Thanks for all those hours of entertainment and education. Love your channel ❤️❤️

[@coniferman1313]

The video gives a hint of the tremendous amount of physical labor involved in the renovation project, most of which is not seen by your followers. What is also apparent is the thought that went into each step. That is perhaps even more impressive. The happiness and satisfaction you feel is very well deserved.

[@para1324]

Matt and Kristen your determination to make this refit happen is epic. GBU is NOT the same boat, she is a yacht. Beautifully done. Your enjoyment sailing her is going to be wonderful. 👏👍⛵️🏝

[@briankiely2347]

What an amazing job! I’ve been following along and have been impressed with the work weekly,but the compilation video gave perspective to the enormity of the project. Matt may have been the lead on this project, but Kristen was right there learning and doing too. The cushions came out fantastic too by the way. Suggestion for you, install a carbon monoxide + smoke detector in your beautiful home says the retired firefighter. Great Job, may you enjoy many more years of sailing together! ⛵️🛟⚓️🌎

[@rockeyroy1]

I am on a really tight budget and I'm old and when I was a payent to patreon Ireland I questioned , when I finally realized that i support YOUR channel I was happy I made the payment you are my ONLY patreon thanks for you! ❤u both much

[@tommetcalf7032]

Amazing work guys, I love how you said it was time to give back to the boat... The video editing, music, and the cushions look amazing.

[@sparrafien]

It was a wild ride!

[@joelkoricich1771]

I've been watching your channel from the beginning and what a journey. First, congratulations on an unbelievable job on your boat rebuild and your video production. Kristen, you are beyond adorable, and Matt, you are the coolest dude with a heck of a work ethic. Can't wait too see the final reveal. Have fun soon.

[@Drcrash63]

[@svintheanajones88]

I love how you organized the videos grouped by project. This must have taken a LOT of time! It was fun to see a timelapse of all the work that you showed throughout the build. Congratulations. I hope you two come back to Tampa one day and show off your boat to us locals. What a masterpiece!!

[@tereh2003]

MATT - your tenacity & willingness to explore until you perfect the task is AWESOME!

I've been watching you guys from the very beginning and it has seemed like this transformation has drug out but WOW! I didn't realize how much you accomplished, it's absolutely amazing and coming from me that is quite a compliment. Matt I'm impressed with your finished product, well done sir, my hat is off to you. Also your taste in women is impeccable! Love you both keep up the good work, Oh yeah, love the videos. Big D

[@gwenblake4485]

You both have mad skills that complement each other so well! Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@jamied.2734]

You are both great! If you can make it through this together you can both make through anything. Eager to see the next adventure and more....

[@kevinpunty5838]

Dear Matt & Kristen your floating HOME is absolutely beautiful! And I know my "Homie & Boatyard-Betty" have come a long way down the road of literal blood, sweat, and (behind the camera) tears! I have been watching both of you a year before your refit and you never ceased to amaze me with your adventures! But, this refit needs to go down in the "Book of Beauty". GBU may need to rethink the removal of "Ugly" from its name. Cuz this is not no "Ugly Boat" rather she is BEAUTIFUL!!! May Poseidon bless you with calm navigable seas, and Mother Nature always give you the right Wind in your sails! The motto here is NEVER GIVE UP THE BOAT!!! Congratulations and now I want to see & listen to your trips and adventures! PEACE!!!!!

[@nathanixslade]

Best episode ever, the takes with the music just perfect. it was a long journey and the result was very good, better than if you had hired someone to do it.

[@repairrestoreandrebuild8974]

I found your channel about a year ago, shortly before you guys started this transformation. I am amazed at the fantastic job yall did. Was great to relive Larry Laminato at work, see the legendary Magnum PI mustache again, Boatyard Betty working hard.... Outstanding work on this video. I can only imagine how much time was put into going through all that footage and editing it together. Top quality work on the boats, and your videos.

[@krystofer40]

Wow, Can't wait to see the full reveal, you guys have really done something special on that boat. It's so great to see people on real budgets doing real upgrades. Also we get to see all the errors and mistakes that happened along the way. It has been a pleasure to be on this journey with you both. I wish you all the best for the future.

[@stevenculler4449]

I know Matt is happy and ready to get back to sailing!! Y’all did an amazing job!! It’s beautiful!

[@kend1053]

Amazing to watch an old boat come back to life...and you did it all in just 29 minutes. There had to have been a few moments when you said..."Oh my god, what have I done?" But wow what a beautiful cruiser you've got. Well done.

[@michaelsmith150]

Epic !!!! Fantastic editing. The boat looks amazing. Well done guys

[@steveclark7957]

I’ve really enjoyed watching your weekly videos along the entire rebuild. Well done. Very impressive. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@mjsorl]

Impressive!! Watching your weekly videos have continued to inspire this 70+ sometimes sailor to continue on with the rehab of a 35 year old Hunter. As an experienced builder your transformation of the boat and the growth of the two of you has been nothing short of amazing. One again, IMPRESSIVE!

[@sofisticatedb9641]

Wow, she looks stunning 😍 I truly enjoyed watching the process of this transformation & YES, gorgeous! Such a huge change with lighting up the interior. Great job you two, can't wait for next week's video

[@Brian-qm6ph]

Wow you guys have really outdone yourselves, I've been watching this entire rebuild with fascination as you tackle every single project no matter how small with enthusiasm and the willingness to accept nothing less than perfection. One of my favorite quotes is Endeavor To Persevere and the two of you have done nothing less than that. The hurdles you have overcome to achieve your goal are to be admired and inspiring to others. Congratulations on a job extremely well done!!

[@jamesmcmahon7837]

Not only did you spend a year working hard on the refurb, you actually kept us entertained every week and have now edited together an amazing record of your work, which we’ve all watched from start to finish😅😂🙏🏼 Fair winds on your return to the sea!

[@keithfaulkner3726]

What a wonderful transformation. It was nice to see this to realize once again the hard work and dedication you both had in this project. A project I would say would be insurmountable for most of us. Well done and congratulations 👏 👍

I've watched every single boat build video so far and let's just say that the partial reveal shows the skills of you two and the dedication you guys have. Beautiful boat.

[@bradmottishaw467]

I am so excited for the full reveal that I am shaking like a puppy pooping a prickly peach pit! Such an awesome home you have made for yourselves.

[@ricardosilvaesousa2838]

Such hard working couple, thank you for this great timelapse of your journey

[@DesertDogJournal]

Great job on the compilation video! Even though I have watched every video you put out over the last year, I didn’t realize just how much work you’ve done. It’s amazing what you’ve managed to do without access to a proper workshop. Looking forward to the full reveal video.

[@malachai333]

Absolutely amazing... It looks like a new boat... Some really good work guys.

[@barbatone3020]

The amount of things you had to deal with is INSANE! Impressive job you did and thank you for taking time to film everything. Cheers to soon-to-be sail away into the sunset👍

[@patraic5241]

The lighter color tone sure makes the inside seem a lot bigger. Well done.

[@iainhunneybell]

I don’t know where to cheer, clap or cry as I watch the wonderful transformation you have made. All the flash-backs to the different jobs. Great video, but what takes my breath away is the hours and hours of work and wonderful result ❤

I've been watching your videos from the very first one years ago until the finished rebuild. I know all the hard work that has gone into the awesome rebuild. I gotta say that you kids play well together, & should be damn proud of what you have created. Pls give Bear a pat for me. Lou

Great job guys! I don't think anyone who just watches this video can truly appreciate all the trial and error, and blood sweat and tears you two put into this project. You really did a fantastic job, now get that beautiful boat back out on the high seas for more adventures. Wishing you fair winds and following sea's!

So enjoyed this review of the journey you've taken us all on over the last year! You're both an inspiration! Perseverance, willingness to screw up and learn, innovative spirit, creativity, and most of all, the way you worked together, listened to each other, and stayed committed to the job. Amazing! Thank you Matt and Kristen

Absolutely fantastic video. The time lapse was perfect. The music went so well with the content. That really told the story of the how many projects actually had to be done to get the boat looking as beautiful as it does today. The editing was stellar. As the video progressed, I kept remembering things about each project and episode. The style of the interior looks like something from the pages of a modern boating magazine. You should be proud of your very hard work and dedication. This was your best video yet, and I’ve been there through them all. Congratulations on an epic transformation and may you have many years of smooth sailing ahead.
