Florida Sportsman Project Dream Boat - Hydra-Sports Dream Splash

[@curtfit09]

Great job with the Hydra Sports rig! Nothing beats purpose-built and I'm looking forward to a follow up highlight reel from Rick putting it to good use!

[@FLSportsman]

+Curtis Sahli Thank you! We thought it turned out pretty awesome, too!

[@davidsarmiento5487]

So much done to this boat it turned out pretty awesome but the one change got my attention was the rail delete. It makes it look like a new boat. Got me thinking since i have one of those ugly rails on mine lol. But then we have patch work and gel coat to do.

I had no idea Joe Pesci's brother ran a boat restoration company down in Florida!

[@earlmcintosh8520]

Owned a 21tower and 25 center. Now I'm older I found a 2006 23 bay bolt and built it for me. It's like a Swiss army knife does it all.

[@paulluhrs7823]

that's a well done refit, and for a basically new hull about what id expect for all the custom work.

[@vinnydeluca7526]

Where can I get one of those performance shirts like Dave has on when they are doing the maiden voyage. Great series by the way. keep them coming

[@adamharris4821]

More project dreamboat please!!!

[@TheDoug9901]

you guys are still the slickest operation

[@regularguy1140]

Wow that's an awesome boat guys. Good job.

[@erict9402]

@11:26 First rule of thumb owning a business. Never throw your own employees "under the bus" Second rule as an owner everything is your fault !

[@TheSteelArmadillo]

It’s a joke.

[@Eric-zs6rd]

All that money and he won't get 55k if he ever needs to sell it. If he just bought a new boat, he could resell for 80% of what he paid, and he'd know everything was made right and new. No wood. Warranty. Take advantage of current hull designs. Twins instead of singles. And been out driving it 2 month ago instead of waiting it out so long.

[@xtune5731]

Gloxxify yes he will..

[@2clapsandarickflair804]

Agreed. The price is way too high and the end result

[@bigchvy9192]

97000 to update a old boat wth. you can get a 27 capehorn brand new with twin 200's for that

[@nicholasfrancis6517]

yes, but this boat was built exactly how he wanted it, and to his specification, and specifically to meet himself and his families needs out on the water. To me, id take this boat over the Cape Horn any day!

[@peterk814]

Nicholas Francis id take a new Cape Horn lol

[@PianoUniverse]

So many new boats I'd buy and save thousands.

[@aaronwood3540]

About everyone of you covered what I was thinking. Hell of a job but what is the value of that boat in the end. I doubt it's worth 105 k. I try to restore something that's worth twice what I have in it after it's finished including labor. Like the main guy did a couple episodes back with the wrecked boat. But this guy probably has no intentions of ever selling it, and with the rebuild it will last him for the rest of his life. Probably one of the boys life as well. Or they will get together and restore it again 30 years from now.

[@angeloc3842]

I’ve got the same boat/set up. What pitch prop did you use???

[@yoffer2490]

Love these videos!

[@Dtom-zr9jz]

105k is just excessive. There is no way the costs are that high.

[@ALL4SCUBA05]

Well that there is the reason the business owner is a millionaire. Overcharging the rich folks

[@TheDoug9901]

holy nice but could buy a new one. But very very expensive components went into it engine, electronics, bracket 2.5k etc. done it too have pics

[@hoourdaddy4388]

107K Holy hell

[@dreamxxx1484]

[@tntcichlids8015]

[@cbrusharmy]

I can see why Dave left

[@SnappierJaguar6]

105k wow seems a lot of money for what he got.

[@TheDoug9901]

good part was the the engine 30k?

[@alexthetic]

Give or take Motor $30k Painting $20k Electronics $15k Stainless Bimini $10k Armstrong bracket $5k Workshop management $5k Trim tabs $5k Sundry items $2k Workshop margin on works 15%

[@mrmidnight32]

That was Ana amazing boat for $7,500... But for $105k?! Might as well bought s brand new more modern boat. Why even go used at that point jesus

[@beardedyaker9767]

These are the rich people that came to Florida, you ain't making that kind of money here!

[@bigchvy9192]
