I'm a supervisor in a plywood mill about 3 hours south of you, and we make 1/4" Custom Marine plywood, so if you need any, let me know.

Good to see chelsea is still in the picture! :) I think quite a few of us were weirdly worried about that lol

I know it's none of our business but.....yay Chelsea!! Had us worried there. All the best!

The lack of respirators while sanding and working with the glass is EXTREMELY dangerous. Doesn't take much to ruin your life with that stuff!!

I recently got rid of my fiberglass sailboat and never want to get into big boats again. You've found out too, they're an utter nightmare. I went back to an aluminum fishing boat only to have the outboard motor's prop come apart, then I found they don't make those props anymore, it was a nightmare finding a replacement. I hate boats of all sizes now.

5 years ago you got that . Wow time flys when your having fun . This means I’ve must of been watching for at least 7 years . God bless from Newcastle Australia

Can’t read all the comments but from a glazier’s perspective the amount of glue used in the middle was for safety so that god forbid should the mirror break it stays on the wood. Now your whole center can fall onto someone if it breaks.

someone is about to have some fun with some 3d printers

quick tip from a fellow boat mangler... er builder. if you cant find small odd bits of marine ply you can use plastic cutting boards from walmart. they come in a variety of thicknesses and are absolutely waterproof. just be sure to give them a couple of layers of glass.

Black brushed aluminum wrap would look cool. With some indirect lighting.

My son and I were passing through Portland on hwy 5 on the 4th of July and I swear I saw this boat parked in the marina. Kinda cool because I liked this series.

B is for Bravo. Absolutely beautiful. And resilience man. It's everything. Just keep building.

So happy you got it back on the water and looking good. Portland native here and I love to see a local team doing great things.

The original video on this boat build is how I came across your channel and I have been hooked since. I can’t wait to see the finished product on your pontoon boat. Keep doing great stuff!!!

For a smooth finish when painting with a roller go back over with a brush immediately after rolling. Apply light pressure with just the tip of the bristles. This breaks the surface tension of the paint and let's it lay down.

I look forward to the next episode "30 Year Old Italian Yacht stuck in a tree" the rollercoaster this series has been, while unfortunate, has been a treat to watch

Very happy to see the Riva running again. Although I understand why the new boat will work better for your needs, the new boat will NEVER equal or even come close to matching the coolness, the looks, the historic significance of a marvelous old Riva. Rivas epitomize suaveness, elegance, cruising the Italian Riviera in style. Pontoon boats are clunky party barges, period. Great video.

There's a couple of things you can try to remove the discolouration on the wall panels. Firstly, any varnish or other coating will have to come off. Then, you could try an oxalic acid solution to remove the stains. You can buy ready-to-use products for use on wood. The other treatment that might work is a "mold and fungas" remover for wood. There may be a fungal element to that stain, although it's more likely to be organic matter suspended in the water that has been absorbed into the wood grain. Oxalic acid should shift that. Give it a go in an inconspicuous spot as a test. I've had good results with both treatments in the past. Hello from Scotland!
