Boat Restoration - Restoring the Power-Cat 328 Part One

[@Ijoss]

I got blown away when i saw the townsville cranes franna. 90% of the resto videos i watch are American. Good to see A local putting out boating content!

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Cheers mate. We’ll have an update soon

[@lukebiers9523]

Good luck guys, great boat once up and running, we had a 328 powercat flybridge back in the 90’s on the Gold Coast.

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Cheers! Very nice

[@ernestochaparro8751]

Hi friends . I'm from Puerto Rico . That boat will be beautiful . Waiting for the.next episode . Thanks

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Thanks for watching!

[@landrum3893]

This one is a worthy challenge. I want to see you guys bring Cool Running back to life! Good Luck

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Thank you Sandros! We’ll certainly do our best!

[@jackboggis270]

Nice project. I am from the UK and in yr 10 like Daniel. I got my licence at the beginning in 2020. Good luck Daniel

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Cheers so much Jack! Yeah Daniel has found work on a commercial vessel now getting sea hours towards his coxswain. It’s good, he’ll learn heaps more going commercial.

[@jackboggis270]

@@SkyeElizabethArtist that's great! Theres not alot of commercial work near where I live but I've got my boat project to keep me busy!

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Jack Boggis awesome work Jack! You can’t go wrong with a boat to play with

[@fachu2]

Cool project really interested to see how this comes out.

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

😞😞😞😭😭😭 we had to sell this project! Life happens sometimes and there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s devastating, especially for many who were watching - but it is what it is

[@fachu2]

@@SkyeElizabethArtist What a shame.

[@Kankaroo37]

Can’t wait to follow y’all’s progress on this boat! Good luck!

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Thanks - new update video being filmed and edited now

[@shocknawegarag3176]

Looks like a massive job but you can do it 👍 want to do up a similar type boat one day but probably not as much work.

[@crazed8486]

Wow what a project but looks good. Once the floors done your on your way. Waiting for second update.

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

That’s it, gutting her out first... redo all the floors.... I think Pete is keen to fibreglass everything this time. He wants no timber because it rots eventually. We’ve started blast cleaning her as we’re gutting.... I’ll do another video update once we get some full days rolling. Peters an essential worker for the railway, so it’s busy times.

[@crazed8486]

George the Macaw & Skye Parrot Artist cool wish I had more space at home want to start my own project

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Crazed 84 yeah we had to pick a house especially

[@IDontTalkToCops]

Lmao at the possum! Good to see you guys aren’t afraid to take on a big project. Can’t wait to see the outcome. Rome wasn’t built in a day they say! Liked and subscribed 👍🏻

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Cheers Dan! Definitely going to be a long project

[@aussielover1407]

i am so hyped for this be here the hole way

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

ttv_aussieloverkangaroo - Hopefully we’ll get another video out in the next few weeks.... we’ve lined up a professional for the fibre-glassing to start once we strip her out

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Yay!

[@firstnamelastname6797]

nice boat

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Skylar Ray cheers

[@brucebaum1458]

Looks like the kind of boat my dad would drag home, he however had no skills to fix anything so his boats would sit there for years until they wre dragged away by some other dreamer.

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Awwww, yeah heaps of boats pass around like that. Time and money and know-how are needed. Hoping we can do this old girl justice

[@amreshdeo3491]

Wow that's a good boat

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Thank you

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

We’ll be getting part two started as soon as we can....

[@kevinmcdonnell1694]

Can't wait to see it! A very cool vessel with a lot of potential.

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Cheers! Yes we’re really excited to get this boat underway

[@kevinmcdonnell1694]

[@intheworkseg6]

2 mins in and your over my budget with the crane and semi rental 😂🤣

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Awww 😂

[@alt-w7130]

When you take on any project think and talk positive and it will be done.

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Thank you! Yes we are confident this project will be incredible when it’s in the water. We paused work for the time being so we can focus on our fishing trip / combo wedding in four weeks. The current reef boat has had some lovely upgrades in preparation such as an anchor winch. After the wedding, we’ll be back into action with the big cat. It’s exciting!

Awww you are so lovely Tanner!!! Please feel free to share my links on FB etc 😃😃😃

[@dustinfrost5214]

What ever happened to this boat did yous finish it.

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

I ended up doing another few videos on this…. But sadly when Covid struck in 2020, we had to sell it

[@amreshdeo3491]

There is a same boat in Fiji island going for restoration..

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Thank you!

[@matthewcollas1404]

Any more boat updates?

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Matthew Collas Heya, have been a little slowed down for a while, but we’ll have an update coming out real soon

[@matthewcollas1404]

@@SkyeElizabethArtist awsome I can't wait. I'm doing a rebuild from a bare hull atm. But it's only a 5.5m glass boat.

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Matthew Collas - Nice! Very nice! Pete did a rebuild on a Savage Surveyor a few years back. 5m single hull. Those are really handy boats to run! I miss ours

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Matthew Collas - Pete just told me to let you know. Our boat we’re doing up now won’t have any timber going back into it either. You’ll see us going mainly fibreglass (won’t be starting that for another 6 months or so).... but no timber - because by using the new style compressed honeycomb fibreglass boards, there is no rot and used properly will last a lifetime - even when exposed to water. So Pete recommends with your glass single hull that if you can, don’t skimp and go timber, save yourself trouble later and go all fibreglass. And check out the new compressed honeycomb boards fibreglass

[@matthewcollas1404]

@@SkyeElizabethArtist nice. The boat I'm rebuilding atm is a 1984 mustang 1800 half cab. But a few custom touches

[@aussielover1407]

i live in perth rn if you are close i am more than happy to come give you a hand

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

ttv_aussieloverkangaroo sorry mate; we’re in Queensland... but thank you so much for the offer

[@aussielover1407]

umm what you should do mate bc its been sitting you need to recoat the hull so that mean tearing all the inside out the doing one coat of cop stand or 2 then a layer of weaved i am a marine technition btw

[@matthewcollas1404]

Why add the extra weight and work if the glass hasn't delaminated?

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Yeah I put all this to Pete and I think we're still debating this one

[@Corkrebel78]

My first thought was how many spiders are on board 🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Haha and the giant snake

[@Whalermansteve84]

If it was my boat , I’d cut the cabin off and then redo the floor & transom with coosa board .. then add a nice center console and a pair of 300 outboards

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

steven mckinsey oooh nice thinking there

[@Whalermansteve84]

George the Macaw & Skye Parrot Artist is recommend putting a pair of 100 gallon fuel tanks. One on each side to stabilize the boat. A pair of Mercury 300 verados will make that boat fly .. I’ve been wanting a cat hull for a while now , so I’m Anxious to see what you choose to turn the hulk into

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

steven mckinsey we’re actually thinking twin 300 Yamaha’s on the back. We’re going to rip out the whole top console yet, gut it even more and rebuild everything. We still want the nice inside living space. It’s good for a few days on the water then. Lots of room to sleep. And while it’s going to be primarily a fishing boat, we’re also setting up areas to stow scuba diving tanks and gear. It’ll be sweet when it’s done! We’re currently just taking a break from it as we plan our wedding and fishing trip in 4 weeks

[@Whalermansteve84]

@@SkyeElizabethArtist hope to see more progress on the boat soon

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Will do soon Steven... we’ve been away for our honeymoon and sorting for an in-survey boat at the same time

[@chrisboggs3341]

Do you happen to know what year model this boat is?

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Chris Boggs roughly 1979 - same model as me mate 😂

keep the bottom but get rid of the top dont get rid of the cuddy cabin

Maybe leave out the heavy music - just a tip it can be really annoying! Otherwise looking forward to seeing this

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

I agree - trash choice of music… not making that mistake again

[@Strathog211]

That background music is like fingers on a blackboard. Make it go away, please!

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Thomas Donohue Sorry mate - I’ll pick something less annoying for my next videos

[@aussielover1407]

may be keep the toilet

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

ttv_aussieloverkangaroo planning on moving the toilet and shower to a cubicle up on the deck so it’s on ground level - keep smells outside of cabin etc

[@DArynBDeMoss]

Hints to make true video better... you don’t have to have the camera focused on your face for 3/4 of the video. Narrating is a lot better to explain everything as well as showing us what you’re doing.

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

Cheers! You're dead right. Always keen to improve

[@aussielover1407]

3 yames 200

[@triciaanddennisb9548]

Restore the boat and quit pointing the camera at yourself

[@aussielover1407]

put out bouards on btw

[@SkyeElizabethArtist]

ttv_aussieloverkangaroo outboards definitely on the cards. Getting the pods built and planning on twin 250’s

dont keep shower or toilet
