200 hrs of Yacht Transformation In 20min

This is the last 200 hours of frantic boat work we did just before splashing our boat back into the water. It's the most boat work we've ever done in 1 episode. Thanks to ‪@ParlayRevival‬ for teaching us how to do all these repairs! We did things we never imagined we could, from installing thru-hulls to fiberglassing a rudder to building a jump-off-the-boat descender which i'm way too proud of.
Thank you ‪@TotalBoat‬ for the awesome epoxy and primer and bottom paint! Get some here with 5% off bit.ly/40xsPaF

"Shipwright's disease" is a term sometimes used in the marine world. It describes a situation where a sailor owns a boat with a burned out light in the galley. The sailor decides to change the bulb, but then notices that the socket is corroded and decides to change the socket. While trying to change the socket, the sailor notices that the wiring is frayed. This ultimately ends in a major undertaking and up to rebuilding the entire boat. This ties directly into the Ship of Theseus concept.

I'm glad to hear that Parlay crew treated you like one of them without knowing you. But let me tell you something, you deserve it. You and your wife look that are great individuals and Colin and Jamie I could see the same. Keep your good humor and enjoy life and take care of your family and friends. Overall be proud of your hard work and dedication. Take care of your wife she put up with you getting the boat ready and giving a hand. Take care.

[@david_shih]

that's super nice of you to say. they took good care of us. hope to repay the favor one day!

[@growlith6969]

You know at one time during the worst of the grind, I was contemplating flying down there and just showing up to help Colin, because for a bit he looked like he was really struggling. There's just something about seeing a job, a challenge that looks extremely tough, but has an amazing outcome when done that makes you want to embrace the suck and go through unbelievable effort and pain just to go from "what if", to reality. It doesn't surprise me that these two boat owners helped each other, just sharing the dream.

[@KellyMeagher-si9cc]

One of my favorite things about your channel is the way you explain everything makes sense to me. Truly one of my favorite informational channels. I’ve loved watching you all fix this boat and I am so excited that your family can now get out and enjoy it! Well done!!

David Shih another awesome hilariously funny video to watch. Thank you for humor! you put into your video's. Yes you do indeed have great friends in the Parlay Crew and in their video's present and past they are always helping someone. Now it got me thinking does Parlay feel sorry for you and that's why they helped you out for the sole reason's of getting unneeded numbers of followers with Parlay Revival. No seriously they are genuine in their kindness and helpfulness and truly have a great friendship with you and your family. Your boat is and will luck fantastic once finally complete and splashed in the Big Blue. Be safe David catch you next video and that'll likely be in 8 weeks lol

Your the Lagoon God now. Your boat represents what Lagoon need to aspire to, quality, care, durability, functional, seaworthiness and style. Your videos need to be made compulsory viewing in the Lagoon Boardroom and factory floor. They can lean many lessons. You video is inspiring and I feel once you in the water you and the family will reap the rewards and have a life time of adventure, memories and love. I try wish you and your family joy, good health and nay all your wishes cone true. Cheers Martin

Some darn good rules to fix boats by David, but also remember the Govotos axiom of buying boat parts (named after Dan Govatos): When something breaks, buy 3. One to fix the broke one, one for the one about to break on the other side, and one to have as a spare and give away when you sell with the boat.....
