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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

B is for Bravo. Absolutely beautiful. And resilience man. It's everything. Just keep building. Also, paint em. Add some black into that front galley and you're home.

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.

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.

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

Chris you should suggest to Holley to make a matt finish version of those screen... they're really reflective and might be hard to read in full sun.. (probably not as much of an issue in the dash of a car)

Your vibe is infectious, love watching your content!

34:18 Chelsea getting lit with that pen 🌲

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!

It's called "Mirror Mastic". It looks like liquid nails but it won't remove the coating on the back.

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.

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!!!

I really miss this boat, more videos please 😂😂

The boat was a huge shift away from the norm on the channel, and I didn't really think I'd enjoy watching it. But honestly, I've loved every step of it. Great job guys!

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 admire your recilence motivation and the fact that give you so much joy to see others having a great time because of you.

Thank you. Thrilled for you to get that great boat going

Great to see so much detail around these small ish jobs, thanks. All the comments I had have been covered by other posters .

Your smooth sailing from here on out! On every project you do, I wish you the best and much love!

When you announced your new custom pontoon boat, I was scared b is for boat was toast. Glad you restored/resurrected it! This is the spirit of your channel

wonderful build series! Really enjoyed it!

Sometimes you gotta just take a look around and say “maybe I’m not a boat guy.”

definitely have made it your own..I do enjoy you explaining of how things work and the logic of the builds.. My fav u tube channel.

I’m relieved to see this boat operating again.

I'm soooo glad you got to restore the boat! Something going right is a huge win! Can't wait to see what is next!

Great job Chris and gang. It's a lovely boat and I enjoy all the content covering all the trials and tribulations associated with it - it was well worth restoring after it sank. Looking forward to more clips in the future doing what it does best.

So proud of your hard work and dedication. Makes it fun to watch. You have an amazing team with you too.

Thanks for sharing the whole experience with the boat. It was a great series.

So awesome. Great build!!

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

the happy ending we all needed and you deserved! never stop b is for building

Congratulations on reviving and improving this beautiful old boat ! Well done 👍

Learned so much that I didn’t know you could do!!!😮 glass cutting, carpet change with just outlining the old to new and the black material you stapled.. pretty kool… glad it all worked out for you..

Great video Chris. Nice to see the culmination of all the hard work of you, Kyle and Oscar.

Great job. What a fantastic crew you have and an amazing wife too. Enjoy your content and always showing the reality of these projects. Always appreciate your can-do attitude.

Awesome build. Loved it all. Y'all are so resourceful. Looking forward to completing the houseboat!

I lived in Beaverton back in 1996 and watched the fireworks 🎆 on the water with background music from KOIN.🎉 Thanks for the memory. Oh I'd make the Saloon walls a shade of grey to match the shutters.😅😊

Good work to get it back operational again Chris. And also great to see Chelsea again, you had some of us slightly worried there.

Congrats man. Good to see the awesome results

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

Been watching this since day 1. Happy for you and the team! Looking forward to seeing what’s next.

BRILLIANT well done chris!!! amazing job from when it sunk!!!

One of the best KZfaqrs i love watching. Thanks guys👍

I am alway impressed how y'all will just tackle a mountain of work and creativity make it your own and finish it.

One last thing... Rotate the table with the "Riva" logo 90-deg clockwise so the logo is readable while standing in the boat. It looks great. It's nice to see one of these "Resurrecting a ...." project actually finish. I'd love to see one last vid with a drone following the boat at WFO across the water.

You are not wrong. You and your team overcame a LOT to put that boat back on the water. Huge congrats to you all!

Well done on seeing a project to completion regardless of the setbacks and hurdle. I thoroughly enjoyed this series!

You guys did a great job! Looking forward to the pontoon build!

So glad you stuck with it. Often it’s not a destination, but the journey that allows you to enjoy the results.

Success comes in interesting packages. You've pulled this off - what a great experience. Thanks

This is like watching someone try to make a tutorial while trying to learn the same skill on the fly.

Awesome job. Can’t wait for the new boat build

You're such an inspiration man, keep doing what you do!

The boat looks f’n savage! Fair play, all the hard work has really paid off. Well done to you all! 👏🏻 👌🏻👌🏻✌🏻✌🏻🎉

Awesome video, brother!!

The boat looks great! Good work y’all!

Top notch! I love the yacht build!

I LOVE all the builds!! The boat builds are awesome!!

Awesome job Chris! Love it mate

LOVE That Blanket! Looking good buddy!

Really enjoyed following the journey with the boat. She looks awesome

So much fun to watch.

Turned out great!

This is why I love watching ya b is for build better love ya may more blessings go your way

Brilliant job as always 💪💪💪💪

It is so good to see the ole yacht back in good order. Happy July 4th weekend.

Can't believe it's been 5 years already. I remember when you first got it. Well done to all of you Chris!

Great video. Pontoon boat vids crazy but will be interesting. Really enjoyed this vid

"Is this boat safe?" "Oh absolutely, I am quite sure it won't sink again!" "Again?" All jokes aside, I am impressed you actually managed to get her back in the water. And by the looks of it you're well on track to have her in better condition than ever, possibly just a couple months down the road. It wasn't very "B is for Build" when it started, but it certainly is now!

The image at 21:45 reminded me of a very good day. I paid 32 dollars US for a picture of a warehouse ceiling that was "shiny metal" on eBay. Shipping was $1100 to my house which was 4 miles away, so I knew it would be heavy! I paid $1.75 local pickup fee and received 6, 2'X8' sheets of polished brass. After selling them I bought 10 pizzas for the employees at the warehouse. A good day!

Really great work Chris & team💪. Nice to see Chelsea - all of you showing us how to simply keep going. Whatever the situation. Whatever the odds. When you look back on your life Chris. You’ll never regret the boat. You’re not supposed to break even on a boat. But tell that to the smiles. 🤘🤘👏👏

Chris, maybe a video on proven ways to prevent catastrophic failures on boats in the freezing winters. I’d be in for watching. Could help other boat owners avoid this situation. Awesome to see the boat back in action. Great job.

Happy 4th of July! Loved this B is for Boat series!!

What an amazing transformation and accomplishment. She is B is for Beautiful. Always staying positive. Good job all around

amazing job looks better than new !!!

So pleased you managed to get this lovely yacht back to her former glory well done all a B is for Build triumph🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Saved my Saturday!!

Well happy, knew you'd fix it. 😊

Thanks for the video!!

Really like this boat. I would paint the walls. Those frames on the cabinet look great!

It was absolutely soul crushing to see it sink, and it must have been unimaginably worse for you, but I knew bifb could get it done. Big cheers, you guys are amazing.

Great work. Great video.

Great Job restoring her. Glad you go to enjoy it with your friends. Happy 4th!

So happy to see you guys got the boat back in ship shape.

VERY good job with this boat! :3 I am beyond happy that you restored the boat and not just throw it out, also I am very proud of you for doing all the work on the boat it looks GREAT! :3

Wow great job guys ❤❤🎉🎉

That's what makes boat ownership great. Those moments out with friends and family.

Thanks for bringing back the boat content!

My old boat was out on the mooring and I noticed the back end sitting kinda low, so I rowed out and realized it was taking on water pretty quick. I got the pump going and pumped it out and floated it but the engines were unfortunately submerged. Well, they worked a couple of days later, for a bout a week, then that boat was the most trouble I've ever seen. It essentially needed a full re-wire of the engine and body harnessses, computers, starters, alternators, etc. Good luck lol

The lettering from the previous vintage dashboard would’ve been a lovely addition above the Holley screens.. I hope you still have it

You've come a very long way. Congrats!!

Great to see you motoring on the waterways. Take some time and enjoy the hard work with your team, friends, family.

Love the videos guys!
