I was so confused at first, i was like… i could’ve swore this dudes channel was “makin motor moves” or something with like the triple M logo thing. I watched the entire build series (i recent got myself a formula F20, found your formula videos) & watched basically all your content. Glad to see the boat is practically finished. Kinda wild that you’re selling it but I do the same thing lol. Keep up the content. If you’re bored, check out my light restoration. Floors, stringers & bulkhead replacement. 305 SBC rebuild. Can’t wait to get it on the water

I love watching your videos. I've been Boating for over 50 years. Owning one of these Sea Ray Cruisers, has always been a dream of mine. Looks like you've got this boat about 95% finished. It's the cosmetic things that add up, and nickel and dime you on Boat's like this. Your price isn't unreasonable. I would suggest you focus on a different market. Boat buyers on the Great Lakes are definitely looking for these Sea Ray's. The fact you've got a trailer makes selling it to them easier, especially if you're willing to deliver it. If it was me, I'd keep her, but I get the reasons why you're trying to sell it.

Love your passion, your a honest young man, I once owned a marina on lake Gaston NC and VA borders, I know about the love for boats, it seems to me you have did everything you said you would do and have taken care of all concerns the next owner will have, if something has slipped by you and I highly doubt it wasn't done on on purpose I believe, I just can't understand the negative comments but they do turn into a positive when KZbin counts views and comments for their logarithms process, remember keep being the honest person you are

Starbright makes a couple good products there hull cleaner will get rid of the rust they also have a good vinyl cleaner to get rid of the mold that gets stuck down in the pours and won't harm it like bleach does both work great didn't have a cover for my boat so constant fighting the mold and water was dirty at times in 😮cheasapeake bay and would stain the hull when didn't have good wax on er so hull cleaner was awsome could watch it go from dingy tea color to clean off white
