IS THIS THE END?//The Final Hull Repairs-Episode 125

[@birddog0762]

Attention to detail in bilge and all of the work in the electrical world, and all of the other "small" things makes the brain relax in the middle of nowhere when it goes sideways! You guys know your boat. Happy to be carted along on your journey. Can't wait for first cruise! Just remember to slow down and enjoy it! Love your channel and the journey. Never lose faith!

[@XeonTSD]

It is a BOAT!!!!! It NEVER ENDS!!! but that is part of the "joy" isn't it?

[@shawnchurch316]

A vibrating pad sander would probably do a better job on the flooring. You should cool the foam a little in the refrigerator before mixing so it will slow down the kick off.

[@matthewmelton2361]

I have flexiteak as well - I was told by the guy who installed it to use purple power detergent (Amazon or Home Depot I think) . I wet the deck then , the scrub the heck out of it with a stiff brush, not a boat brush but a super stiff on your hands and knees brush and let it sit for a few minutes, and have a small pressure washer (1GPM or 1.2 and max 1100 psi, but its dialed back to prob 400-500 from amazon it was like 80 bucks, it does the trick). We had an bunch of really baked on hydraulic oil and grease from the mechanics as well as foot traffic. It looks new- the 4000 I accidentally slug on the floor took 60 grit

[@porterpilot01]

It's like a f-18 jet 50 hours of work for each hour of fun.

[@peggykm4977]

Love the way you guys dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s

[@smc419]

I also damaged my hand by using an oscillating tool. The doctor told me it's the same type of injury that seen by people using jackhammers! There are anti-vibration gloves that supposed to help protect your hands from damage.

[@peggykm4977]

Also as you get older, tendon damage can happen when the stress/strain/vibration gets translated back to tendon and ligament attachment points

[@tommussington8330]

Look at the string technique for removing rings works fantastic

[@Quozl]

Nice job, can't wait to see you guys out on the water enjoying all your hard work

[@Anne6621]

i hate when people don't paint the bilge , crazy talented family !!

[@BCS2023]

That was a great episode. Thanks!

[@ctown6971]

That foam was crazy.

[@TotalBoat]

Nice job, guys! Flotation foam can always be a fun experiment - but way to go!!

[@UUBrahman]

Ty gets it done!

[@divekatdreaming]

Pretty pretty bilges!!!

[@wernerbotha2433]

Hi there, im all the aay from south africa. Just watched an episode of Barefoot docters sailing. Thought u would find it intresting aswell. Its about the most specked out leopard 50. Just want to say aswell, love u guys and love your videos.

[@Pete-nl8ok]

Eventful episode!

[@billsrq1788]

Hello from Siesta Key Florida

[@davidleatherbarrow2640]

Hi Guys. The ring did not need to be cut off You can remove a ring like that by binding the finger with cotton, Check Sailing Catalpa when Bella got a ring stuck on her finger. Regards. David.

[@SailingDauntless]

Cutting it off was sadly the only option. We tried ALL the tricks and it only traumatized the finger more causing more swelling to the point where the ring was cutting into my finger.

[@WeZoN_nor]

Looks so good. :D Well done

[@rickhudson6890]

Great Job making the Bilges pretty!

[@donnawarmouth9329]

Woohoo great job

[@docdurdin]

You better not mess up those freshly sanded teak decks, Buster or you will lose more than a ring.

[@SOTENZ]

great science class

[@BRADH-xw8sw]

Hey Guys - in which episode did you explain what the Yanmar issue was & how it was fixed !? Inquiring minds need to know !

[@ctown6971]

5:39 you couldn't use the dental floss trick to get ring off or was it just to swollen?

[@SailingDauntless]

We did try the dental floss trick several times (among other tricks) and the end result was more trauma to the finger and more swelling to the point that the ring was beginning to cut into my finger...Oh well...lesson learned!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Pretty white bilges. 😊

[@nickcooper14]

looking Awsome guys, the bilges really sparkle now, hows the mancave coming along???

[@michaelrhodes6033]

Great job, you guys work so hard.

[@wiginator15T]

The end of fiberglass / epoxy / gelcoat repairs? I guess I’ll have to get my fix elsewhere 😂

[@mollymarshall5710]

If your pain and swelling is bilateral go see a rheumatologist! That’s how my RA started.

[@LongStep]

Big upgrade! Nice!

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Thanks for all the Pro Tips! Safe travels ❤️

[@paratyshow]

👍✅🏝 Lots of fun.

[@bill2292]

Can we back up a little please. Why are you needing to fill the bilge/keel with expanding gunk? Did I miss that day in class??

[@johnmerrett5186]

Think the foam was polyurethane, use the same in tunnelling sometimes to inject into rock to make less permeable. Water accelerates it, although there is enough moisture in air. 😁

[@billdunsmore3151]

How’s the electrical system going?

[@jimlofts5433]

will the foam absorb water ?? probably not but just curious

[@bill2292]

Great video, except there was no mention of VIctron and the electric system, will you be doing more electric videos?

[@nikleeson608]

Why not put the foam ingredients into the fridge before mixing. Wouldn’t that slow the reaction????

[@joetabone2902]

being exmilitary I remover my ring because it got court on a bolt whilest jumping from a vehicle ,never put it back on after that

[@SailingDauntless]

In all my years of construction I knew better! Lesson definitely learned!

[@william6526]

Any doctor or jeweler has a ring cutter that's safe ,fast and does minimal damage to the ring where it can be soldiered back togeather.

[@jeffsallus8406]

Could you have put the product in the hole and then mix while in the bilge

[@svStargate]

not even a plug on that unused thruhull valve?

[@rickhudson6890]

Bilges R "Fart Knockers" 😂😂😂😂

[@briangamm7230]

Just tattoo a nice ring on

[@G14-Classified]

I wish you wouldn’t have cut the ring there is a very easy way to get it off with dental floss or even thread. I’ve done it several times as an EMT

[@SailingDauntless]

Sadly it actually was the only option...we tired ALL the ticks some of them several times on different days... and the end result was more trauma to the finger. It was actually becoming a bit dangerous as the ring was beginning to cut into my finger.

[@G14-Classified]

@@SailingDauntless 🥲

[@akLeanne]

My hands are always swelling up, my doctor says it's my arthritis.. I hope a You dont it.. cause it sucks and it's painful.
