I have been watching this channel since ep.1 and am enjoying this series immensely. I am not a boater by any means, but am very handy with many trades and really appreciate the detail you put into your thought process and showing the actual repairs. Love the quality of your videos and I easily subscribed to your channel. I am not jumping ahead for any spoilers, I am enjoying the ride, living vicariously through both of you.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you so much!

[@KOrnhOliO1]

DITTO!

[@andymarshall2201]

Raff, you need to put a ring on Sascha’s finger, you’ll never meet a better hardworking soulmate than her. Great job on the floors guys.

[@obieandlaurie]

For more than one sheet of sandpaper, or beer! The storytelling, music, editing continues upward, way upward…high quality all of it. KZbin Sailing Channel of the Year type stuff. Cheers and be well you two. 🍻🤗🍻🤗

[@anthonyelam2257]

You both are amazing ... rebuilt the motor , transmission , redid the floor layout , new floors , redid the hull with repairs paint lights and hull fittings ... you both are amazing ... and what is really wonderful you both love each other ... 😊😊😊

[@HarryJVaughn3]

Obviously a survey could have revealed some of these issues but if a boat is actually hurricane damaged then I feel a broker is obligated to disclose this information. This broker should be called out here. Seems pretty shady to me. That being said... I'm glad he didn't tell them everything because Raf might not have bought this boat and I feel they were meant to be the owners. It's this journey that we get to share with them on fixing this boat up that has shown us so much and we're all able to share in the skills these massive repairs and renovations take. These are the moments that build an audience. Eventually there will be more cruising but its these first moments that really create a bond with the audience. Not to mention, the editing and production value of this show. Raf has a natural talent to narrate and Sascha just fits perfectly with his style. These two make an amazing team and their show has quickly become top of my list. Cheers guys!

[@skycop56]

Ok, that seals it! You two have to get in the boat flipping biz. Your work ethic alone would guarantee success. The skills, the teamwork, the mental state, all point towards a union without equal. 👍👍👍❤️

[@hawkeye98]

I honestly think you two are the only couple n KZbin that can actually do an entire episode about sanding and sealing floor boards and make it interesting. Great job on the floors. Your mad carpenter skills are really showing.

[@noname75013]

I'm enjoying the wood working tips on the boat channel. I've been remodeling my house and building kitchen cabinets so I'm just like, "yeap that's right!" About the sanding and finish. Also, it is tedious living in your remodeling. They have to either be totally on edge or they have god-level patience. They appear to be keeping good humor, as you must, because because those are some cramped quarters.

[@joewilly5079]

Becoming addicted to your show. Good job!

[@igshaansaan6149]

Bro… I understand everything! The best asset you have is that woman….! She makes you a king! So great that she is always so positive! All the best bro…

[@davidbarten7429]

Years ago I had a 38' Swan, did the job with the same teak and holly ply you did. I know how hard it is and your end result is nothing short of fantastic! Alignment is such a crucial task and you nailed it!! I was not as adept and wound up hiring a woodsman far better than me to make it right. Well done and WOW! great job on the finish too!

[@cetterus]

dang that is one sweet boat

[@SailingYaba]

That flooring looks insane! Looked tough to get it there but so worth it

[@iansumter1851]

This is a great series of videos - really gives an insight in detail about what it means to try and restore a 2nd hand boat and get it ready for the water. Plenty of problems to think about, some good advice, and also really interesting watching to try and learn what to do. Probably more info on this series than a day 2 boat maintenance course. Maybe it doesn't make a whole episode - but I;d be pretty interested to see something devoted to all the tools that were used for this refit, and also all the tools that you reckon are needed on board to do any running repairs while under way: as it never ceases to amaze me what can always go wrong on a boat! PS - I remember this area, of the US - 2 weeks at the IYT centre doing courses for STCW - fighting fires, water rescue and RIB training then some R&R at Waxy's. Now in Europe, but would love to get down there again.

[@bumpkin52]

Really enjoy your channel. Great job on the floors, they look spectacular. Marine grade means there are suppose to no voids and the glue used between layers should not break even after boiling for at least an hour. As you stated unsealed wood is still susceptible to root.

[@davidhakes3884]

When it is cold and you are using the stove for heat, one or two clay flower pots turned over on the burners will radiate heat really well.

[@sas-po7nw]

So Glad you guys know Bret and Jade. I just finished up caught up w/ their series and started watching you two not knowing you knew them! (guess I should have figured that out). lol I lived on the Intracoastal (condo w/ dock) N. Miami for 12 years and now New England. so I get why 45 degrees seems cold 🙂 Keep Going!

[@drewr34skyline18]

KILLING IT! looks better than any factory fitted floor I have ever seen. Your attention to detail and personal standards are rare. Loving your channel. Also love you find obstacles in your path and smash straight through them. That boat is lucky to have you guys! 👌👌⛵👌👌🤜

[@jamied.2734]

The floors look amazing. Hard work does pay off. Stay safe...

[@iangadget3848]

That is one nice looking floor! Well done!

[@johnabriggs6044]

As you shared some new found history about you new to you sail boat am hopeful that all your work and good boater practice's will keep you both safe sailing it to all the fun places you will enjoy taken it. Yes and your new floor look awesome!

[@peterfrebold]

.... Proud of you ... great accomplishment checking off the floor project, the transition strips look awesome too .... laughing .. the middle of the night stumble to the head, you'd be full awake by the time that mission was complete ... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

[@ahmad2s2k]

the lesson here never cheap out on a boat if you find a better one 😅. Hope everything goes well for you guys. Great job restoring the boat.

[@josephsteed8015]

You pair are the hardest grafters I ve watched KZbin! Fooking amazing! Never been a boat fan, but I m converted!!!

[@Looky-Loo-Shorts]

I started watching your channel last Wednesday and am already hooked up. Congratulations on finishing all the work you have done with Sacha's help. Keep up the excellent work.

[@devilkid6652]

Love how boats make us appreciate more basic things we normally take for granted. Yayy for floorboards.

[@adventureswithryan5474]

Once again you guys have killed it on a video. Great job!

[@Julieearle]

Hi!! I got sick and binge watched your videos. How great! You are such a hard worker! You always were! Keep swimming mermaid!

[@julianbatcheler9970]

Fantastic job. They look amazing.

[@markhoene9984]

You two are very impressive!

[@slimjim3229]

Floors look great! Keen eye for details. That takes talent.

[@melanieparyaski2110]

Floors look amazing! All that hard work paid off.

[@IanC766]

One of my new fav channels great job.

[@dahveed284]

Looks Great! Your determination is encouraging. Redoing the electrical system when you have the boat all apart and in a port with lots of parts will be so much easier than chasing down electrical problems while cruising.

[@roydenvickers]

Raf got those building and detail skillz.

[@jeffhudson4817]

WoW, what a transformation guys. U should b stoked. Coming together. Know it’s on the water already and u guys r enjoying it but I luv watching the process u went thru to get there. Living vicariously thru u guys. Stay safe out there.

[@jasonbourg9943]

GREAT JOB! Keep positive thoughts flowing.

[@veemann3158]

The floor came out amazingly! WOW! It looks fantastic! Man, that was a lot of work! Great job!

[@mattdehnart2229]

Great job on the floors!

[@ryanhammerel2654]

I know nothing about sail boats. Never been on a sale boat. Honestly, never had much interest either but I have enjoyed watching every episode you guys post. I don't even remember how i stumbled on your channel and started watching. It's been very interesting watching your progress.

[@chrishanks4869]

That floor is the best you two rock stay safe love the video an the energy

[@MrDa89soup]

Looks great! You never did cover if you solved the draining problem and what it was…. Hopefully you address it in a future episode..

[@richardbutts6512]

That floor is awesome Great job guys!! Fair weather for projects, Take care

[@donaldbrown9437]

Great job! Glad you are able to deal with all you found out about the boat. It would be a disaster for some people!

[@josephfranco3221]

You guys are great! So determined to be pirates.

[@shawnkerr8614]

The floors look awesome. You guys rock. We have been talking about doing it. And you guys inspire us so much. We are boat shopping.

[@danstevens5782]

Great job guys.

[@brigittevoisine7093]

Wow, just WOW… amazing, happy for you! Great meticulous work!

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

I love to see your PDAs. Keep being good to one another & you'll be able to handle any & all hits that come your way. Be well ❤️

[@LG_Miller]

Those floors look gorgeous!

[@bearitraeb]

4:37 the only place we have consistently heated our home is in the bathroom 🚽 🥶 🫏 Everywhere else I can put on more clothes or create heat 🎶 under the sheets 🎵 just remember once your 🎶 under the sheets 🎶 to strip all the clothes off and keep them under the covers with you not on you. That way when you get up you can put on some pre warmed layers as you come out into the cold. It works 😊

[@MM_in_Havasu]

You two just absolutely rock with the amount of work you've gotten done on this boat! Keep up the great work and thank you so much for another cool episode!

[@igorvasiljuk5800]

Lots off respect for you two!!!!

[@baileycaristo1948]

Top notch, looks amazing

[@TheDrunkknucklehead]

Best production value on KZbin in the genre. Great job...

[@luisribeiro8214]

Looks Great! Hard work does pay off. Stay safe..

[@CrazyDanishViking]

You 2 people are such a breath of fresh air, keep them good videos coming

[@johnmeier270]

On those big pieces it's easier using a flooring tool for that poly. I am glad you sanded. Doing wood floors in Albany for 10 years. We always screened between coats using 180 grit screen. Its like a big drywall mesh sanding material quickly cuts the imperfections

[@arottie4097]

W0W! That's some serious wk done in a short amount of time!! Floors look Fabulous! Well done.

[@christ.8547]

U2 r relentless..nicely done *.....'💙'.

[@jacksmith8002]

I can't believe how tough and tenacious you two are

[@stuartcooke1805]

Stunning… amazing work guys 👌

[@philippedaudi1056]

Super excellent guys. I am sharing your vid. Super work.

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Looks like a great job. Floors are beautiful.

[@mikepetitt9624]

You guys….those floors look amazing! You did a really nice job !

[@DBartWest]

Loved the celebration at the end. Well done guys, looks great.

[@franksayda9546]

Good JOB !!

[@landosharks9669]

Incredible! Such a big accomplishment to celebrate. Kudos to you both for hanging in there and getting that done. Thats the "spear it!"

[@1hornet1]

I'm more and more impressed by you two every episode. Great job on the floors! Keep it up!

[@Nauti_Yachty_Adventures]

Thanks guys! Keep up the good work.

[@Sailor_Greg]

Marine grade plywood uses marine glues to hold the laminates together, the wood itself if no different than normal wood, so good jog on sealing eveything!

[@dennishively5994]

Turning into a beautiful boat

[@smash7777-]

Another belter video guys! Awesome results on the floor! 👍🙂

[@merilynkron8750]

The flooring looks great. Well done.

[@charleswashburn1857]

Oh man!! Those floors look great!

[@tristanwilliamson358]

Hells yeah, new floors!

[@tracyraley4003]

Floor looks great. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@paulstephens5229]

Just love this channel. Keep up the great work.

[@Robert-cg2bj]

Raf, no matter what else you do, hang on to that hard working, positive attitude, funny woman!!!!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

They need to marry up fast. Perfect couple.

[@chasingsunsets380]

Cool beans guys Looking good in the neighborhood That was a lot of hard work

[@tcudad50]

New floors look awesome!

[@Lumpschlevot]

Nice job guys. The hard work was worth it. I can’t imagine doing all that and filming/editing/posting. Enjoy.

[@catt356]

The absolute best show!

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, I don’t have to tell you but wow doesn’t the yacht floor looks fantastic. You did an excellent job a lot of sweat blood and tears went into that. Keep up the good work really love your videos. I can appreciate all the hard work that you put in so far Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️

[@kevinlerr3077]

The struggles are real awesome job guys

[@charleschedra4808]

Well done guys, boat rocking along nicely. Won't be long now until you're sailing around the world.

[@joelnoble329]

Nice work! Those are some great looking, well-aligned floors!

[@johnmeier270]

And WOW that floor looks awesome !! Great job 😊

[@diamondhunter9140]

Those floors are awesome, great job to both of you....Your hard work has paid off

[@bensteel3944]

Drill larger bole holes enough to insert a plastic pipe and epoxy them in so the water drains through. I don't think a professional could do a better job on those floors .. it looks awesome.

[@janderson3786]

You should share the brokers name who sold you the boat! He should’ve disclosed the prior damage if he was reputable.

[@rileybri]

How reputable could the guy selling Raf a boat be? 😂

[@88TRUNKBACK]

@@rileybriYou look shady, so do you, DONE DEAL😊

[@rileybri]

I think there is a Jimmy Buffett song about this? I could be wrong.

[@bubbleobill267]

If a broker had to disclose all boat issues they’d never sell any!.

[@kobartlett]

Raff- You pantsed your sister at a funeral? Legendary!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Loved the mandolin interlude music.

[@melaniegibson3027]

I clearly will never understand how sellers don’t elaborate on damages caused by flood, wreckage’s.. etc. Thankfully you all have worked through these obstacles and have some real amazing knowledge of remodeling and construction. Enjoy watching every episode!!! Congratulations 🎉on such an amazing achievement and journey ✌️

[@phillipbraham9819]

Looks great

[@everest_CFA]

Just amazing guys…. Well done 🎉❤

[@foolinwfire]

great job

[@pdab4372]

You guys ROCK!

[@babyfishmouthworld]

Great job y'all! much love

[@tedanderson6122]

wow great job

[@SaltySailor5050]

The problem with drilling limber holes you are exposing raw wood which will be subjected to rot. Be careful. Enjoy your episodes!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Those beams are hallow fiberglass. It's a grid that beneteau glues down to the bottom mold. All of the hatches have holes that lead into the beams which are suppose to drain down the inside of that beam into the bilge compartment. The blockage is somewhere inside of that fiberglass beam!

[@RicCross]

Quite the effort went into this project, doing this on anchor certainly raised the difficulty level, giving you two a 9.8 Wondering if you could use a boroscope to figure out the draining issue in the grid? Great work and now you two have a beautiful sole ; )
