1. Any more updates on this project?

2. I stopped watching this channel because he just ghosted us with the boat updates lol

3. Great Video.. Thats a awesome friend you have helping you.

4. How do you keep people from stealing things off your boat

5. The craven domain ultrastructually desert because relative seasonally manage apud a enormous baboon. nasty, aboard government

6. "Yacht"
   Speedboat*

7. The fortress anchors hold very very well

8. Name of the type of boat

9. If I were you I would get a Furuno radar in case you go offshore with the boat.

10. Maintenance = Uprgrades ?

11. I used to detail boats once many years ago , feel yout pain on all that buffing LOL

12. You should also have some basic knowledge of marine lighting requirements and anchoring. What was that about wrapping the hull? You do know that you can spray on a new coat of gelcoat and buff it again right? Don't ever anchor a boat from the aft end. don't forget to send out the anchor for plating or it will be solid rust in a month. I do like the shine it looks good

13. B is for BOAT but that means Brake Out Another Thousand good thing you have a lot of sponsors ! Say how much do you want for those LSs that didn't quite work out for you.

14. This is one of my favourite shows ,, Iv learnt so much from this series ,, I find this tremendously inspiring

15. Always keep your boat original

16. Chris, I use to do marine electronics here on the east coast for several years. When I got out of it a few years ago the upgrading of electronics is huge. Unfortunately the old stuff is very large and leaves very big holes in dashes as you can see. We were doing a lot of starboard panels to flush the equipment back in instead of having the hole refiberglassed. The mounting plate you made is very professional and you may have something there.

17. WOW !!! LOVE THE PRINT, you own the print or you sent to print in somewhere ??

18. B is for Beunhaas…

19. I think that reasons behind 24V system is long run of wires and voltage drop not that it's a European model. I don't know anything about boats maybe I'm wrong.

20. leave the Meguira's on the shelf. look for TR-3 resin or any gel resin.

21. The sanding of oxidation off the boat is called color sanding, cheaper and faster than polishing

22. YACHT ? Type in google "YACHT" then "Images" , you`ll then see you don`t have a " YACHT "

23. The smoke be like: I'm a rolling thunder, pouring rain…

24. How long is your boat

25. I have watched these videos out of their intended order and it breaks my heart to think that at this stage the starboard engine was probably in good condition but the seeds of its doom were there and someone knew! A couple of hours work could have saved it if you guys were just told. I still hope that you do recondition the old engine over time because after all the gasoline fuelled fun you can retain the option to realise the full value of that beautiful boat with its vintage but practical diesels.

26. 28:53 Apparently Chris can't tell the difference between FOB and P!ATD, even when the stereo says High Hopes. LMAO

27. Tell antifa to stop setting fires

28. You need to Vapor Home all that corroded metal. Works much faster and the finish will be better. You can do it by hand, but just take it all off and pay someone $50-100 to VHT it = much less work and a better result. Maybe a minute of VHT for each piece.

29. Looks awesome

30. Use LEDs if possible

31. Yo he is motivated and that’s so cool

32. Your boat ain’t even that big bro

33. That boat is gorgious cant imagin what a new boat like this would coast .but this boat is way better looking then any modern boat id take it out of watter and inspect it they are great looking boat im make. Guess and say a boat like this is over 150,000

34. Fun little tidbit. Those engines are also in the AAV that I operated in the military. Lots of torque.

35. He just didn’t like the color lol

36. Rust stains everywhere after using that shitty anchor once, guaranteed

37. Itz sad 2 see ur childhood memories going down in flames this ix as a result of failure of ur gov 2 regulate co2 emmisions in ur country…… #GREEN

38. You cant Call this a yacht, this is a cabin cruiser

39. Please don't show welding work in your videos – the brightness is burning holes in my computer screen. LOL

40. I'd recommend you trying to use either Fusion 360 or Onshape for CAD Design. Both are pretty simple to use, and I believe low cost. I personally love Solidworks but a license for that is pretty expensive.

    Good Luck with the build!

41. not a hater but, I don't think you should wear your everyday shoes in the boat. No wonder the white is all dark and nasty now… just saying

42. "Hard will be the learning curve with this one," says Yoda. Zinc plated chain instead of galvanized, home made anchor (they are precision devices when made correctly), 3/8" nylon line for an anchor rode (not a misspelling) on a 44' boat, wooden box assembled with staples that are almost certainly made of carbon steel just waiting to rust, depth transducer seems to be attached to an interior surface instead of the outer hull (maybe I'm wrong). The zinc lighting fixtures will be shiny for a while but corrosion is like cancer; hard to eliminate. You need to connect with some people that know as much about boats as you do cars. Oh, wait. They've already commented below. Boats live in a very unforgiving environment but at least you're removed form the salt until you head toward the ocean. Seriously, a few mistakes early on will make you realize why marine grade items are so expensive compared to household and automotive grade items. You will soon value the higher quality items and want nothing else. Owning 17 boats over the years in a saltwater environment taught me a great deal.

43. Would have spares of those LED bulbs I don’t trust them for a second on a boat

44. Finally, the vid came out

45. upgrades and cleaning look great!
