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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Okay this is a huge inspiration because it makes my RV projects look like a drop in the bucket in comparison. 😅

The batteries can probably actually be reconditioned. Reconditioning that many batteries is not much more difficult than doing 1 and you would be spending $100 on sulfuric acid instead of $2k on batteries.

I live across the line from where you got these boats in Alabama coast. We had hundreds of these boats left in the waters after the storm, people literally wanting to pay you to get them out of their lives..

In season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Colin had to deal with seawater that filled the engine(s?) in Parsifal 3, and the process went very much like in this video. Nice!

Watching from the coast of Massachusetts in a little town called Scituate. It’s nickname is the Irish Riviera. Being able to enjoy what you do for a living to do is incredible hard thing find in life. Sometimes I think I have succeeded at that this and other times I have not. Looks like you’re doing a good job at this point. I haven’t watched all the episodes yet but I’m working on it.

Those engines would be great for many boat projects, even just as an upgrade swap for a smaller boat.

I have rebuilt tons of CAT C18, C11, C13 and C15 engines. They are bullet proof and very well designed. They are also very pricey to rebuild. The smart thing to do would have been to suck all of the water and oil off the top of the pistons so it would not have shot all over the ceiling.
