Vintage Sailboat Refit: Aft Cabin TOTAL TRANSFORMATION!!

Book 1, Chapter 40 - THIS IS IT, GUYS!! We are now presenting the shocking before & after video you've all been waiting for. I know it's a short one this week, but it packs quite a punch!
Honestly, this was one of the hardest and most emotional episodes to edit. Sorting through the last 8 months of footage brought up so many memories for us. Re-watching all the hardships and successes of this journey so far was cringeworthy at times but also very gratifying in terms of how far we've come.
We still have a long ways to go and lots of content coming soon so hit that subscribe button and tell all your friends! We LOVE getting your comments and we NEED to stay motivated! Every little bit helps.
Anyway, here it is.
We hope you enjoy our results as much as we do!
Cheers!
-Kell & Chris

l sub to you Chanel directly after watch your video. Guys, this is awesome indeed, l know how much time and effort ittakes to build simply because l also have a similar Chanel and you just nailed it. 😊👍

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks so much, we just subbed to yours! Based on your content, Looks like you’ve done quite a bit yourself, a lot of similar stuff we’ve taken on too! Where are you based?

[@coldnorthadventures5905]

@@ChrisandKellNowHere Hi, Thanks, I'm based in Stockholm Sweden but originally l coming from Riga Latvia. l do everything by my self and no one of my family have any interest in sailing, so l can say l don't get too much support. However l love sailing, l love refitting and all other things that are related to the boats, so yeah. How about you?

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Well, this life isn't for everyone! Especially the refit side of things. It can be quite gratifying though... as I'm sure you can appreciate! We're in Portland, OR and don't have a ton of sailing experience but we do have a lot of similar DIY projects under our belt. Mostly, this just seems like a really efficient way to live our lives how we want to someday.

[@coldnorthadventures5905]

​@@ChrisandKellNowHere It's not for everyone that's for sure. If you don't have much sailing experience, that's alright. l believe most important is love for what you do and then it's easy to learn anything.

[@dillinpicklesworth5698]

Wow, FINALLY, young sailors with a better taste than ikea😒😁, I know this video is old but I'm subbing because of this video, well done!!!

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks!! ❤️We should be launching a final transformation video within the next month or so - keep an eye out 😉

[@happylittlebush9541]

Wow! That turned out amazing! Sunning! Love color choices! But Kelly has always had a great eye with color, not to assume who made choices. Hah! Also love that you are a red head, welcome back to the fun side!

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks Kody!! Honestly it was truly a team effort... I just get the right to veto certain decisions 😂 Love being red again!

[@yogameditationinsight]

The bathroom! Love what you did.

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks Lauren!

[@FirstMateEmily]

I love this!

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks Emily! I think we actually pulled it off!

[@FirstMateEmily]

@@ChrisandKellNowHere it’s legit! Can’t wait to see the finale

[@trevhedges]

Crisis averted, ya kepted your redhair, roof liners, ive no idea what you guys have in mind, but i seen another channel not sure which one, the use from home depo, we don’t have that store here, pcv flooring strips, that kinda Tongue & groove together, may have being GBU. But it looks amazing, it’s completely waterproof, so very washable, and went up super easy.. oh and apparently was very cheap, they used white, but I’m sure you can get it in like Artificial wood colours.. not sure was the only time i seen it used. Chris make sure you put that “stripper pole” back we are all Anxious to see you pole dancing! Looking great guys!

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

We are really thinking PVC and we have a plan to cut grooves in the panels to make it look like shiplap... because, who doesn’t love that Modern Farmhouse Johanna and Chip Gaines Fixer Upper- look, am I right? Don’t worry, Chris will be back to straddling that pole in no time! Just need to figure out where to put it.

[@bake162]

Nicely done

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks!! We’re looking forward to our plans for the salon now!

[@ralph9987]

wow. love the paint job. what paint and sprayer did you use to get that white so sweet?

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks! It was such a pain in the a$$ but that could have been operator error lol. It was a little Graco sprayer we got at Home Depot for around $250. I think we got our monies worth!

[@Sailingyachtopensea]

nice done ! :)

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks so much! It’s been a very intense journey!

[@gradybrown1095]

Hi guys I didnt mean to be ugly about the grass--I noticed the grass looked tall but sorry I still like you,

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

No worries Grady; we know it's atrocious! Chris's brother gives us grief about it from time to time. You're not the only one! haha!

[@richardmares2417]

Love the work but did I miss you installing the insulation of the hull ?

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Hey Richard, Thanks!! Here's the video where we installed the insulation (I had to go pretty far back to find it, like 30 episodes!) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZy5fKWjfN2lg6c

[@dennybarlau8065]

And what are you doing for the Galley? I would look into all electric you can reach out to Sailing with the wynns there 5 years into sailing now for any questions

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks Denny, we’ll be doing the galley last... it’ll be up in the pilot house and basically a one person kitchen. Super convenient and compact. As our household appliances break, we’ve been investing in new ones that are DC compatible. Gone with the Wynns have been a great resource to watch!

[@trevhedges]

Hang on before i start to watch, what happened to the red hair! 😂. Kinda suited ya Kell... maybe you kepted it let see!

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Oh I’m keeping it for as long as it lasts! It’s pretty wild right now but... what the hell, it’s just hair.

[@dennybarlau8065]

I would look into plastic water. Tanks seems to be the trend now. No corrosion and what are you doing with. Solar? I've looked into on demand hot water for you Here's a couple to look at GDRASUYA 10 110 volts 1500 w 84 dollars also Bosch has a full line and Insinkerator 115 volts 750 watts 6.25 amps I am spreading the word I really think you have a great show Denny

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Our solar arch video is still very much in production/ being filmed but, without revealing tooo much, we have a 6 pack of FireFly batteries and three 40x68 solar panels for power. Thanks so much for looking that up! Really appreciate it!

[@dennybarlau8065]

You certainly have done your homework and you already know what the wynns did also sailing Uma is good reference too.im trying to put together a program for new You Tubers like you more exposure

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Yeah, we reached out to Uma on a few things. We really liked how their solar arch has the ability to angle the assembly towards the sun regardless of how they’re positioned. Tell us more about this program!

[@dennybarlau8065]

@@ChrisandKellNowHere well it's hard getting started so after watching Odd Life Crafting and what they did for Sailing Yaba I'm going hmm in one month Yaba has over 30 thousand subscribers.so I'm thinking why can't I hook you up with some big shows I don't know who you watch? If you can tell me who you watch I should be able to hook you up. I watch 31. Shows I also have an idea about hooking up several shows at one time and meeting. At 2 Titties Beach Club in the Bahamas it's where Sv Delos got Married a Deserted Island

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

@@dennybarlau8065 what’s a good email for you? Ours is [e-mail] We watch a lot of different channels including Nahoa, Sailing Soulianis, GBU, Uma, Project Atticus, WE Sail, One Life, Sailing Cadoa, to name a few.

[@dennybarlau8065]

Platismo 52 gallon water bags at west Marine is also a thought

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks Denny! Have you used those before? It would be interesting to see how durable they are.

[@dennybarlau8065]

There one bag inside another very durable go to west Marine platismo 52 it will answer all your questions also have you thought about growing some food on boat? You can grow tomatoes peppers etc upside down no dirt and of course spices

[@nadnosneb]

lol

[@ChrisandKellNowHere]

Thanks Dan! You’re the man! 😎
