Boat Restoration| $1,000 Boat Sitting For 10+ Years

[@paulnels108]

Just a word on cleaning/washing large stuff.. (Aircraft Tech washed lot of aircraft).. top down cleaning .. start high spray to remove debris, Scrub to clean and rinse to wash away and remove cleaner and debris.. top down.. That way you not cleaning a lot of junk off the area you already cleaned.. and each wash and rinse wash all the junk away from your already cleaned area.. just makes the job a little easier.. leaves less small dirt behind to make spots

[@matiuclark3813]

Let gravity do the work 😊

[@Twizter68]

Oddly enough, that's not how we do it in Naval Aviation...start at the bottom and work your way up, keeps dirt from getting stuck on more dirt down below. Final rinse from the top down to remove the Turco and not burn the paint.

[@fdkrew]

I clean from side to side, as I’m a flat earther….

[@WhiteCavendish]

I love seeing nice boats restored and put to use. There's something very sad about a beautiful boat left to rot on the hard, so it warms the heart to see one polished up and made useful again. Congrats on an incredible find!

[@LindellAdventures]

It’s been one of my dream boats for a long time! To find it just sitting was actually a relief for me since I can’t find the money for one fixed up! Now it’s just sweat and sell a kidney for money and we should be set!

[@douglaswoodard3412]

just powerwashing it doubled the value over what you payed this is one of the dreamboats of mine can't wait to see it on the water again

[@LindellAdventures]

I can’t wait either! It was rough but it is slowly coming coming!

[@shawnmclaughlin7418]

More and more channels like this are getting my respect hard core you guys are restoring perfectly good boats while these companies just keep turning and turning these things out obviously they don't cost millions of dollars to make cause there is tons of them just sitting on docks or wrecked in hurricanes it's nice to see people take junk and turn it back into something fantastic Americans making things again from hand. and you tube has made this possible threw ad revenue for you folks. 10x better then women truck camping videos.

Beautiful boat. I’m so jealous. 2% bleach solution and 30 mins would release most of that nonsense without high pressure.

[@LindellAdventures]

Thanks! I sprayed that all over and still needed a good scrub and pressure washing, pretty bad shape when I started.

[@seerex8398]

Reminds me a lot of the Parker boats , if you are going to go with outboards a bracket would help offset the weight and give you more room , can't wait to see

[@fullyhooked1]

Do you know how long the previous owner had owned it? My father had this exact boat before he passed in 2002, we fished that boat every week up out of Everett until i was 12. We had to let it go due to financing, but i have always wondered about that boat! We live in Washington, so as this 26'er being somewhat of a rare boat, I'm curious if it is the same one. Either way, great find! Cant wait to watch the rest of these updates!

[@LindellAdventures]

From what the owner I bought it from said is he got it from a friend that passed, please message me on Instagram or Facebook @lindelladventures! I don’t want to say anyone’s name on the internet 👍 thank you!

I would crawl over broken glass for a deal like that on a pilothouse.

[@LindellAdventures]

[@KashIrons]

Hey nice work man! I have a question for ya, what is the point of mounting a smaller outboard engine to the back? when would you prefer to use that over your bigger i/o engine?

[@LindellAdventures]

The 350 Chevy that came out is about half or maybe a little more than half the HP than the 300 Suzuki going on it. Also the boat will have an offshore bracket that will free up deck space, help with getting on step and also buoyancy. Then a 15 HP trolling motor will be added too.

[@ernie548]

Its only a score when the total costs are known. Hopefully that is. Plus there is your amortized or depreciated cost of tools, transport, materials, storage, time/labor, etc.

[@dentonthomas5622]

I would keep the in inboard. Cheaper in the long run.

[@LindellAdventures]

Definitely cheaper but I need the deck room and prefer outboards personally.

[@mariosambula5843]

Hey that is great where can I find one like that

[@LindellAdventures]

They are around but this model is very rare!

[@DC_DC_DC_DC]

I love (modern) motorboat restos. Great music choice too for the pressure washing sequence. Do you really want to go outboard? Why not a diy marinized om606 diesel or something?

[@LindellAdventures]

The outboard will free up a ton of space on the deck and the outboards are easier and last longer. They are a little more money but the space saving is worth it for sure!
