I purchased a boat for $1.00 one time. A friend of mine needed to get the boat moved and no way of getting it done. He told me if I could move it I could have it. I insisted on giving him one dollar. My plan was if I could bring it back to life I was going to name it "Pass the Buck". I ended up scrapping the boat, but I did get a pretty nice trailer out of the deal. Turned it into a utility trailer that I still have today.

This boat turned out amazing! I have a hard time staying with sailing KZfaqrs that switch back and forth between the types of content they can put out. That being said, I haven’t missed a video since they were on Adrenaline. Doesn’t matter what they are up too, Billy and Sierra make anything interesting and fun to watch. This new boat is no exception! What a beautiful remodel!

Great job guys! when I was a young man I bought a house for 60.000 my wife refused to go inside. Her father laughed at me when he saw it. I busted my butt and six months and 10,000 later I had a palace. I sold that house three years later for 185000. That was in 93 now I’m retired and living in a paid for 2+ million home. Hard work makes dreams come true.

@arwenevenstar9843 Жыл бұрын

Great job restoring that old boat. I have a soft spot for keeping old, but usable things in service. Much better to repair / renovate than always buy new. After watching your re-fit and repair, I would have no qualms about buying that boat from you. (If I could afford it...) Their are times when good enough work is more practical than perfection. An old boat like this one is a great example for "good enough". By the way, painting the galley white was a good call, it makes it bright instead of dingy. When it was new, that probably was not a problem. Enjoy the boat and your travels with it.

Been with you since Adrenaline as well, and I agree...you make every project interesting and, in the process, I think you give other folks who may not have had the life skills you guys have a path to learn...this can be done! I've had my go fast boats and Tournament Ski boats, but I still remember my first time on a trawler as a kid. I think they are underappreciated by younger folks. The boats represent a way of traveling at a pace that makes the journey itself a bigger part of the trip; time to see, and enjoy the simple pleasures of being at sea. Well done guys.

I owned a boat repair shop, here's some suggestions (if you don't have them) Automatic and manual fire suppression system for the engine bay. (CO2 or Halox or another fog type that will not be corrosive) You can open it from the helm or if fire happened when you sleep or are gone a sprinkler head would open in the bay. A water alarm to let you know if there is water in the bilge above whatever level you set it at. a C) alarm and a fire / heat alarm. and a TV camera or two in the eBay, believe it or not the wireless ones at harbor Freight work very well and you can access them on your phone. All of these are really cheap and worth their weight in gold to let you know something is wrong before it is critical. The last is a few semi trailer ratchet load jacks, get the good ones that are used commercially. if you have a leak they can be used to press a piece of wood with something between them to stop a leak. You are looking at about $250 for all this but I also did search and rescue and these if ever needed can help prevent tragedy.
