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.

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.

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

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)

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.

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!

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

I really miss this boat, more videos please 😂😂

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 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.😅😊

For the 1/4" Marine Grade plywood - Mr. Plywood on SE Stark St. carries it. Might be good to know for you pontoon build.

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

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

I'm one of the original people who watched that first boat video 5 years ago. It was my old channel that they deleted. I'm so happy to see you finished the build! Very happy this came across my homepage as a suggestion!

I’m relieved to see this boat operating again.

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

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!

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

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

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

Gotta say, Holley came through for tha win on this build

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..

Definitely vinyl wrap the wood in the cabin. The 3m wood wrap look killer

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.

Once you have some time...hahaha...get those props sized so we can really evaluated the diesel to gas conversion.

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

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.

Looks like you got some black mold on that wood under the cushions downstairs, probably should take care of that.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

B is for boat and boats are for sharing. Living the dream mate.

The boat is looking awesome! As for the wood , you could sand it all and refinish, wrap it with vinyl but you'd lose the amazing wood that highlights an interior or skin the wood with a thin wood veneer and have a great pick of options of wood species.

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.

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

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

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

“What’s it the BOX!!!” 😂

You should have attached a layer of vinyl wrap to the back of the mirror for safety. All of that glue was there to keep the glass from falling out. If something breaks the center of your mirror now, you're going to get shards of glass everywhere. Putting a layer of vinyl wrap on the back will keep any large pieces from falling out.

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

So awesome. Great build!!

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!

Thanks for bringing back the boat content!

Hi Chris the reason the round patches were on the mirror is because the mirror and the adhesive had a reaction. It happens if the wrong adhesive is used it eats the mirror from the back. I’d use a mirror glue of low module silicone to glue it if you want it to last. Good job the boat stuff is super interesting there is a lot of cool aspects to deal with with goii out d solutions. Well done 👍

hi guys repaint it wached you the first time rebuilding this boat have a great weekend
