There are few things I enjoy more than seeing old boats being saved from the scrapper. She looks like a beauty and with a bit of TLC she'll be a real looker. Well done; subscribed.

Brilliant, well done, you fully deserve your new boat. A couple of picky things now. I was having kittens watching you fiddling with a running engine with laces hanging from your hoodie - never underestimate the strength of laces. Secondly, it's unseamanlike to have your fenders out whilst under way. Message ends.

Sincere congratulations - from someone tackling the same job!

Saying hello from Puget Sound Washington. We just subscribed. Great work saving this old sailboat, and the engine seems to run great. I was surprised to see the alternator actually worked. Great work and great video.

Watch out, the ropes from.your sweater nearly came in the flywheel

I actually just got a free 41ft Morgan center cockpit that had sunk at the dock for possibly a year. The first thing I did was sail it 70 miles back home. Just finished a lot of scrubbing and got the engine to turn over by hand. It was locked up. Needs a lot of work but it's my dream boat. All I need is a gf to look at it and say "it's a cutie"...lol

Great video, also well done with the boat. Fair winds.😊

As a fellow Marcon Cutlass owner I love watching you bring this boat back to life. Congrats.

Good work with the salvage. So many old boats become litter so it's a pleasure to see one saved. Good luck with it.

I'm glad this lovely boat has found great owners. Love to see how she comes on!

Congratulations. Nothing better to see a sailboat rescue. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing your future adventures. Happy sailing!

Hi guys, she wouldn’t be the first boat/Yacht that sank and someone come along and restored it , keep up the good work. Don’t worry about the negative comments because you’ll get them. Just keep going forward. Don’t look back you’ll come across some things that need to replaced but that’s okay. It’s all replaceable Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island 🧑🏾‍🦽🇦🇺🏝️🦘🐨🌏🏝🐬❤️

Uplifting video. One in the eye for folk who insist you can't sail cheaply. Brilliant, well done.👍

Nothing better then the sound of a motor coming back to life! Great job. A lot of work ahead of you. Keep it up.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Sorry about the loss of your phone. Hopefully you were able to retrieve it from the deep bilge.

Have you already decided which one of you will be the smart one, and which one - the cute one? ;-) Looking forward to seeing more from you, good luck guys!

😂😂😂 “wanna see me squirt” Stocked for you both still haven’t changed one bit Keenan miss you bro.💚

I am so happy I found your channel! Can't wait to see more videos!

Nice I was Wooohooo when that motor 🔥 up

Well done guys. My mate has a lovely Cutlass up in Peterhead. Keep up the good work and get her looking pretty again.

Thanks guys!

Nice old boat! It’s a lot of work but will be worth the effort in many ways. Will be following you on your journey.

Well done guys, what an awesome job.

Zero to hero in no time flat! I'm pulling the old engine out of our boat before trying to start it. And i'm going to make the compartment bigger. Looks like you have decent room there. Great work

I use an aquarium pump to get rid of water in spaces .... easier to handle than bilge pump .....

Thats mega! Massive hats off!

how exciting, I can't wait to follow along on your sailing adventures. Do you have plans to cruise with her? Any destinations in mind? Congrats on getting that engine running, very lucky there. Waiting for the next vid already.

So many people get caught up with shipwright's disease and try to fix every damn thing before they use the boat. Good on you for getting it floating and getting the engine going and going sailing. Unless you have done this enough to know exactly what you are doing it makes more sense to have some fun and upgrade/paint/whatever as you go. Spending years making it perfect ends in more scrapped projects and broken finances with no fun had than you can shake a stick at.

She looks like a nice boat, don't take any notice off the negative comments I have recovered lots of sunken boats over the years and enjoyed every one. You will enjoy the end result.

Just subscribed you were fortunate with the engine after being under water well done for getting it going look forward to the next time 😊😊

No way bro u got a boat for free LIFES good

I remember this one from Facebook liked and subscribed can’t wait to see what you do with her

That engine is just unbelievable 😊👍. Did you drain/clean the diesel tank? If yes, how did you clean it?

Nice video

Great find on a pretty boat. I would have bought a cheap battery operated bilge pump though. That bucket is soooo old school. LOL

Nice work!

I know those waters well as I come from Fife originally and have sailed there with my Dad but am now landlocked in Lincolnshire. 😢

Nice one guys ❤

Here is a follower from Spain with a Cutlass 😊

even thought the alternator works spray it with crc or wd to keep it corrosion free

There's a summer in Scotland? Great video!

Everyone needs a starting point and you got good one👌👍 Good job so far in such short time, brilliant 👏 👍 👌 First time here subscribed and liked 👍. I wish you both the very best of luck 🤞✌❤☘ Just out of curiosity, why didn't scribe or try to hide the name of the harbour?😅😂 could that be Dunbar harbour 🤔🤭 honestly just a guess. I'm looking for cat or trimaran with max budget of 100k with no big repairs just cosmetics and upgrades, I'm looking across the pond as I find quite few choices, just holding back till end of winter or Xmas when desperation sets in with the sellers 😉 even if it's already buyers market now especially in the Caribbean and USA. ..

amazing

Definitely a bargain 👍

Stay funny and tuned i follow u

Love gettingnboats for the price of some sweat and thought.

Fuck bro still as handy as 10 years back 😂 miss you bro!!!

I always have to heat your beta or no go

I think the battery sounding a little flat needs a good charge

All it takes is a dream hard work blood sweat tears and a shyt load of money 💴🤙⛵️💪🏻🇺🇸✌️👻

The cheapest boats are seldom the best value.

The boat was free, but as everyone knows, there is no such thing as a free lunch! We bought a neglected boat out of a hedge and yes, she was good value for money but around 10k later she still needs odds and ends doing to her. BTW, she is absolutely amazing and admired by many!

No such thing as a free sailboat. You might take possession of it for nothing, but you'll pay more than a boat well maintained in the end.
