You said one of the wisest words I've heard in my life.... "20 YEARS FROM NOW, YOU'LL BE MORE DISAPOINTED IN THE THINGS YOU DIDN'T DO THAN THE THINGS YOU DID". I love that and wish I had heard that many years ago. I too do restorations but on other than boats like you. Too many to mention. You know the feeling when you take those 3 steps back with your arms crossed, looking at the final outcome of the work you've performed, smiling and say to yourself.... "YUP. THAT LOOKS GOOD!" I love that moment in life. There's one phrase my father said to me at a quite young age, not totally understanding it until many years later.... "A MAN DOESN'T MAKE A MAN. A MAN'S WORK IS WHAT MAKES A MAN". I've lived with that in the back of my brain my entire life. Great work and enjoy life as we've made it.

In 20 years ?! Man I’m already disappointed In the things I didn’t do and I’m only 22 goin on 23. However I did go to California this past year (from small town in Nj nobody makes it out of) I honestly thought that maybe when I retire I’ll be able to afford to go. But I saved up and worked hard and took 3 months off and said f*** it what Am I waiting for and went. Was such a rush and so many emotions flooded through me knowing that I knew in my head before this I’d never leave my small town. It was exhilarating. I just got back in October, I feel refreshed.

It's interesting to hear your comments on salvage damage of sunken boats. I know virtually nothing about that business, but I have done recovery for Class A Motor Homes, like Prevost, Newmar, Tiffin, etc.. When we made a recovery, the owners were usually there, and they would go "ballistic"', watching us "righting" their baby, or dragging it back up a 30' embankment. We always did as little damage as possible but sometimes is just wasn't possible not to do so.

[@michaellove3010]

Besides those sandals Colin, you also got the leftovers in the fridge, looked like a 12 pack or so of beer as well a liquor bottle that survived ! Gotta be worth $10 more ! You might be surprised at what will survive in the electronics systems.. they're usually made in labs that clean them with alcohol and other solvents so they are somewhat water resistant on the boards. (except capacitors are usually crapped out) Displays don't usually survive, but can be replaced if you can source parts. I'd try and save the big twin motors, just cut thru the sides of hull to get them out with a forklift and service them in a shop so they can be guaranteed to operate well. Cut the rest of hull for disposal. Not bad speculation. 8K for a weekend surveying ! Hope you get a chance to show these boats again after a load of pressure washing and stripping back to structure.

[@jjohnson8977]

Looks like about a 10 year project. Enjoy!

Just came across you channel. It’s amazing that there are people out there with the knowledge and skill to look at these boats and have the confidence to tackle the project! I look at them and think “not a chance”.

[@slynn5138]

I had a similar scenario with my current house. The previous homeowner had torn down some structural retaining walls and in the process ripped up the gas, water and sewer lines. He managed to do all of this without any Engineering or Permits so it wasn’t long until the house was “red tagged”. The house then sat like this, abandoned for 5 years until it went to a cash only auction. Cash only because banks refused to lend money for a house in this terrible of condition. Most people thought that I had gone completely insane paying cash (over $500k) for it. However, I’ve spent my career working in construction and could see through all of the problems and knew what an amazing deal was to be found for the right price. By now Colin and Jamie have a pretty solid understanding of what their capabilities are.

The owners of the storage yards end up with most boats eventually because time is on their side. The longer the boat is in storage the more the owner owes them.

[@JeffErdmann]

Hey Collin, I appreciate your energy and enthusiasm but it should be tempered with a strong dose of reality. Some boats should be recycled not rebuilt. As someone in the business for over 3 decades in yacht sales, I strongly caution anyone, fixing hurricane-damaged boats rarely works out financially. Salvaging the engines may but rebuilding hulls and interiors will likely cause these boats to go underwater financially again. As your experience with Parlay demonstrated you can't see all of the damage and even if you are able to fix the boat to a high standard it is always an "Ex-Hurricane" boat whose damage history must be disclosed on resale. These boats are taking up valuable real estate in boatyards and marinas which drives up the cost for viable undamaged boats.

Salvaging the engines is always the most likely money maker. We’ve seen many hurricane sunk boats here in Bermuda 🇧🇲. Well done lads and keep them coming.

@@REDMAN298 sorry greg, had a bristol crawler tractor on the deck of a 40' steel workboat. went from mackay to percy island in queensland. owner anchored it in north beach saying it never blows from the north.. nighttime--it did. the 4 ton load had lowered the water line and the swells sent the waves up the exhaust pipe hump and into the boat.. it sunk. big tides there, and at low tide we shoveled a sand ramp together and drove the tractor off. then pumped the water outa the boat and towed it into the lagoon which also dries out at low tide. took the head off and cleaned the motor up, found the prickers for the pressure lamps were exactly the injector size and that cleanded the salt from them. assembled everything and vroom, away she went. burst into life! that night, the tide went out again and the keel sat on a 20" rock, this enabled the scuppers to be exposed to water level and the boat sank agan! so after recovering from the shock we repeated the whole process and lived happily ever after. several you tubes exist about Percy Is. worth a look, great history!

[@calthorp]

I have been there & done that! Salvaged a 55' boat was submerged when I paid for it. Would not do it again, As you have to take everything to bits before you start rebuilding so it is more work than building from scratch & when you have finished you still have a old boat not a new one. You could use those engines but they are always going to be suspect. When I sold my boat I did make a small profit but the hours I spent on it my pay rate would have been lucky to be a dollar an hour!

exciting vid, great motors.. im glad you saved them, i enjoyed this a lot.. i lived about my 48 Uniflite in NY for 25 years and miss it....

[@richardgreen1050]

On the electronics I am curious do you believe the equipment was salt water damaged? Or do you supposed the electronics were energized when she capsized? Causing damage to the internal circuits? The reason I ask is I used to make equipment for thee navy and we did a lot of filling the power supplies with an epoxy to seal it from just the environmental issues at sea. I would hazard a guess that some use spray epoxy or something like it or the systemd would eventually rot out and fly bridges are normally open to the elements with only a plastic case between it and the sea spray or rain. Electrolysis is another issue, but all I can say is sometimes if you clean the PCB in a sonic tank of solvent you may be able to save some equipment I'd hate to see them trashed, you could find someone with a shop that does repair work at a depot level. They would have tanks and dryers to do this plus the test equipment to tune it or shoot the units to see any issues. Just a thought..

[@danielc9312]

I agree. A lot of it could be done at home with a sonic tank, rinse (DI water or distilled) dry what you can and then another quick bath in acetone to displace/absorb remaining water then a good dry in a low temperature oven (prefrably below the flashpoint of acetone.) Could save thousands in electronics. Would be worth doing even just as a crap shoot since the batteries and much of the circuit would have been in salt water and likely shorted out before the electronics went in. Thats my 2 cents.

[@lehelparsons6059]

Just to gut, and dispose of all the old materials in these boats would be crazy expensive!

Colin, I knew diesel engines were expensive but wow, I had no idea that they were that pricey. I look forward to seeing you back at Parlay. Are the engines on your boat that costly? Good luck and be safe.
