BOAT Hauled Out for YEARLY Maintenance on 64ft Viking

[@wallacejeffery5786]

I have never seen a prop like that!!! It looks powerful

[@WillFixThat]

Definitely moves

[@jetlag4754]

What an awesome boat!

[@WillFixThat]

Yup we may have recently seen it …. It’s for sale 😭

[@bob_atwestmi_fl_us7812]

My gosh what a beautiful boat, that's something to be very proud of.

[@WillFixThat]

We are very proud of the work we accomplish with our guys & repairing boats!

[@beachbum1523]

I can only wonder what a job like this would cost. Respect for your honesty, competence, and conscientiousness! 😎😎

[@WillFixThat]

Hey we do the best we can ….. Matt’s skills are a benefit to our customers.

[@JacksLore]

$15~18k

[@mikeknottscreek8183]

Amazing work!

[@WillFixThat]

Thanks for sharing again Mike! We work hard!

[@dski8097]

She said get their bottom done, LOL, we all should get our bottom done from time to time, haha.

[@WillFixThat]

Yes make sure you get regular bottom checks 🤣

[@paulkersey2179]

Just found you the other day, I love this channel.

[@WillFixThat]

Thanks so much Paul …. Share us with others that love boats!

[@richg3411]

Pure Pleasure is a gorgeous Viking! Thanks for sharing!

[@WillFixThat]

She’s a beauty …. Great Captain & Owner to work with thru the years!

[@mdv2043]

That there is a beautiful fish catching machine.

[@WillFixThat]

You are absolutely right! Fish on 🐟

[@johnperreault116]

I like when people take care of their investments. Beautiful boat

[@WillFixThat]

This is a beauty …. Very well over maintained 😆

[@smokster0604]

It's great having quality contractors....Fish on

[@WillFixThat]

Agree with you completely …. Our tag line is “we try” …. Catch’em Up 🐠

[@rodneyjaynes2485]

What a gorgeous boat!!!

[@brandonthorbahn2405]

Did you have to use a prop knocker or go these lift off?

[@WillFixThat]

I’m sure Matt did we always use prop knockers.

[@kendownie-mt9nt]

How do you sand and paint the lift block areas ?

[@WillFixThat]

We have the stands moved to paint.

[@WillFixThat]

Let us know what other work you might have done since we had it out of the water? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYTLnZl5qbWbfrs

[@jeffdean7623]

check the thru hulls !

[@WillFixThat]

Absolutely ... you don't want a problem with one of those!

[@catallaxy2000]

I just compounded, polished, and waxed my Grady White 265 Express... Only times I am glad I don't have a bigger boat is when I'm spring cleaning and when I'm paying for gas...

[@WillFixThat]

🤣 LOL understand what your saying … easier & cheaper with small boat!

[@wallacejeffery5786]

Ok, I live in Mobile, a hurricane zone. What do y’all do for hurricane prep???

[@WillFixThat]

Add more lines pray for the best. Some boats will get hauled out if yards have space. Really if a hurricane is coming lots of people move their boats!

[@wallacejeffery5786]

@@WillFixThat , with so many absentee owners , marinas here want boats out. No where to go. Mud silted in will not hold an anchor in our area. Sailboats are the most difficult due to draft. High tides will routinely destroy most piers taking pilings and all. Even big stuff. Planking cannot take wave slap. I have seen high water marks from past storms in your area. Not good.

[@GreyRockOne]

Nice work! Wonder why you blurred the center of the prop before mounting it??

[@WillFixThat]

Had the name of the boat on it.

[@joedoakes8307]

What is a ball park cost for cleaning and painting the bottom hull of that blue boat ?

[@WillFixThat]

I’ll have to check at my office on Monday! This is a bigger bottom than most think it takes 10-11 gallons of paint that are each about $400.

[@larzDJ]

Just completed the haul out on my Nordhavn 64. New zincs, keel coolers, prop / shaft tuning, bottom paint, hydraulics for the davit, etc. Nothing 50 grand couldn't fix, LOL.

[@WillFixThat]

Nice boat ... we take care of a few down here too! Sounds like your routine maintenance is good for a few years! 😁

[@MrSeachaser175]

I do my 2000 65’ Viking every year just like you guys, so “Been there, done that”

[@WillFixThat]

That’s fantastic especially if you run it a lot! Those cutlass bearings can get worn … better safe than sorry!

[@MrSeachaser175]

I change my cutlass bearings every 3 - 4 years, we do some running, yes those shafts and props are heavy! I switched from the metallic casing cutlass bearings to the fiberglass bearings, they are so much easier to remove and last just as long.

[@rickmoore4893]

why did you mask over the prop hub stamps?

[@WillFixThat]

Thanks for noticing… the name of the boat was written on them.

[@beachbum1523]

You've been servicing the owner of this boat for many years? Ya' know, a person could take that two ways! 😜😜

[@WillFixThat]

🤣 get your head out of the gutter!

[@fatsnap79]

Anyone know what that boat has on the bow for a dinghy/

[@WillFixThat]

Think it was a Hughes Flats Boat

[@barrelvinewhiskeyandwine]

How much do those props weigh?

[@WillFixThat]

I’d bet about 80-100lbs more than anything they are just awkward. Takes 3 people I helped with the first one when I saw Matt & TJ struggling! I set down the camera real fast.

[@theroofguy625]

the rule of thumb on these monsters is you'll spend at lest 10% of the cost of the boat in maintaining her as a minimum every year.

[@WillFixThat]

Sounds about right … IF they are maintaining the boat 👍

[@conniedrumjr275]

Wow what a boat

[@WillFixThat]

It’s a beauty & even better it catches a lot of fish!

[@AquaMarine1000]

What's the typical cost for annual maintenance for a boat like that? Cheers

[@WillFixThat]

Just depends on how well the boat is kept up … we definitely recommend a full time Captain to keep up with the non mechanic type work!

[@WillFixThat]

Some of our boats we do nearly everything they need or we have the owner hire others to do the work.

[@adamsadventures9919]

you made a bootiful boat mo bootiful

[@WillFixThat]

Thanks for watching! We try to make everything more bootiful! 😂

[@randallgayman6639]

Beautiful

[@WillFixThat]

For sure.

[@giveitathink6749]

How do you get an even paint application to the jack-stand-pad spots while in the sling? 3 coats was it?

[@WillFixThat]

We did 2 coats of paint but we move the stands between the coats.

[@terryogletree2128]

Can you spray bottom paint

[@WillFixThat]

We roll on our bottom paint!

[@MrSeachaser175]

Yes you can, done it a couple of times. Gives it a nice smooth bottom.

[@Jeff-kw8jj]

Bird spider! have two on mine and they work well!

[@WillFixThat]

Same feedback I got from the Captain! The Pelicans love to sit on the bow & make a mess!

[@user-zl1bh2gk1b]

That's definitely how the other half lives. Could never afford something like that

[@WillFixThat]

They are costly to maintain!

[@kiansheeler726]

You can do anything you want in life don’t sell yourself short. It’s simply a set of steps and actions taken to get to any result. If you want that boat bad enough you can acquire it. Be the other half. It’s a mind set.

[@brandonhughes1992]

id like to know how much all this costs wish they would tell us that

[@WillFixThat]

We left it in a comment below but the owner paid for a few things themselves so it would be about 26k total if your boat is in great condition.

[@rockymntdan1]

what did it cost?

[@WillFixThat]

I’d have to take a look at the invoice tomorrow!

[@billjones3071]

30k

[@WillFixThat]

@@billjones3071 thanks for reminding me to get back to Rocky was just under $16k

[@ccsmallengines]

Those props are 25k a piece

[@WillFixThat]

Sounds about right!

[@BestBrandsPerfume]

Hi love your thumbnail. Try without text next time. I found it works great. UJS*wink wink.

[@WillFixThat]

Thank you so much Perfume …. Appreciate the feedback UJS is amazing! 😉

[@franktaylor7617]

😎👍

[@WillFixThat]

Thanks for watching!

[@Umakemelaff]

Stud boat.

[@WillFixThat]

Yes it’s a beauty!

[@smitty9733]

if you have to ask about fuel consumption you can't afford it !

[@WillFixThat]

Smitty so true … not this customer BUT in general they ask the price for parts, fuel and maintenance and drive these kind of beauties.

[@Kapnwill]

Paint by the hour ??? 😂

[@WillFixThat]

We have a formula for painting the bottom it’s based on how long the boat is …

[@worldjoes1]

No zincs on shafts on a viking... Block on transom does it all

[@WillFixThat]

That's all that was on it when it got hauled out!

[@Cheers_Warren]

There were zincs on the shafts? Well I saw them!

[@worldjoes1]

@@Cheers_Warren what I meant was your never supposed to put shaft or rudder zincs on a viking. Everything is bonded to the zinc block on the transom.. I own a viking and was told this by Viking service

[@CheersWarren]

@@worldjoes1 thank you I stand corrected, unfortunately When I worked at Viking in the early 80’s I was in the composites development dept!

[@MrSeachaser175]

Correct.

[@haydendearing3687]

restorer wax is not a great product, especially for hull buffing. It’s a shortcut, not good enough for the florida sun. But otherwise I’m really impressed with your work!!

[@WillFixThat]

We use what the owner asked us to use each year! Thanks for watching!

[@o9rgeronimo979]

Todays fact, viking boats and others that are not made in USA cannot be used for commercial charter or fishing,, period.

[@WillFixThat]

What makes your say this… curious? Many foreign boats are used for charters!

[@GM-qh2ki]

Not very smart getting underneath that boat while it’s on the swing and removing the prop! Good way to lose your life!

[@WillFixThat]

Your right but can happen on the stands too. We recently had a boat cracking the keel blocks!

[@MrSeachaser175]

That’s routine do that all the time.

[@GM-qh2ki]

@@MrSeachaser175 Darwin at work.

[@bubbleobill267]

Nice one blocking out the name of the boat only to show it on the finished propellor!.

[@WillFixThat]

uggh .... good eye!

[@ricardovelez3796]

And right after it’s a beauty when Sailing Away. 😂

[@aaronerskine3401]

this guy got ripped off -- I have the exact same boat -- I take it on the trailer to coin car wash and use the hot wax setting -- takes 10 minutes and $3 later its good as new

[@WillFixThat]

Good for you 👍

[@jaxsage5767]

Likely owned by an NBA player since the average annual pay in the NBA is slightly over $9.6 million.

[@WillFixThat]

Nice guess .... but he's not but we have worked on many famous peoples boats!

[@Cammo-vp1gl]

I obviously chose the wrong career path 🥺🤣🤣

[@Cammo-vp1gl]

Well, I just watched this before heading off to work. At my miserable $70 per hour I should be able to afford a Viking or Hatteras after about four lifetimes😳😀🤭🛥💨💨💨💨

[@WillFixThat]

Both are pretty nice boats!

[@dennisduffy5678]

Maybe a dingy at least lol 😂
