"...its a 9 metre vessel that was originally made out of steel, now it's made out of rust..." 1:03 That's the kind of humor that hooked me in to watching the whole series. I don't regret a second, and look forward to watching the rest of this recap vid. Thanks!

At the end of the day if it was all about resale value nobody would restore anything. You’ve now got a top spec boat exactly how you want it and yes it cost a bundle but there isn’t another boat like it and it’s YOURS! Enjoy it. Just hoping the videos keep coming and you don’t give up vlogging.

Great video Stu, I worked 35 years in Ship Repair and when retired was a 21ft Angling Boat owner. That makes me appreciate the problems you had. The old saying we have in the NE of England on the River Tyne. If you don't like someone buy them a Boat and if you really don't like them, buy them a bigger Boat. All the best for 2022 and good luck .

You tackled each problem with calm and humor(at least on video). When you can keep a clear mind, you have a better chance at finding a solution. I've done quite a few of these rebuilds with my dad at the marina. We have seen so many DIY folks make every mistake you can think of and some you couldn't imagine. I'll entertain you with a funny DIY story. Two young businesses guys decided to redo the anti-fouling on a sportfish they just bought. They decided that their business knowledge made them experts in boat repair. They quickly got hard to work, sanding off the old anti-fouling with the orbital sander they bought. Three days in, and my dad told me to go check on their progress. I was surprised to see only a small meter square finished. They were wrapping up for the day, and I asked how they liked the new ordital they bought. The one guy said that it seemed like a quality tool, but the pads were wearing out too quickly. I asked them what grit they were using. He handed me the sander, and the sander's pad was trashed. I asked them where's the roll of sanding paper. They looked at me confused. That's when I realized there wasn't any used sanding paper on the ground or stuck to anything. I asked, "Did you buy any sand paper?" They looked at me, and one said, "No, it has a sanding pad." They had been sanding for three days without putting any sand paper on the orbital. I gave them a roll, and they were so happy the next day making actual progress. 😂 No matter the minor mistakes you made, they don't compare to that. Great job! Can't wait to see the next project. Hope your hands are all better!
