Would be great to have him go over the whole boat. Break it into sections for each video. This was a fantastic video.

I’ve been working on boats for nearly 60 years and have disassembled hundreds of boats prior to final demolition. It’s been an interesting process to dissect so many different designs, but Jim’s information is golden. I learned here so many subtle things that I was really glad I found this video. it would be wonderful to take the boats in sections and do a similar analysis. This is such valuable information. The thing I enjoy most about him is he’s a normal down to earth guy and not at all full of himself. The kind of guy you would like to have around I’m sure.

Randy, Awesome job keeping Yacht Hunters going! Thank you for bringing on a new crew of experts to explain all things sailing specific to classic sailboats!

Easily one of the most valuable and informative videos you've done! Please bring him back for Parts 3, 4, 5, 6...standing rigging & deck check, engine check, electrical check, plumbing check....!

First comment, for whatever that's worth. I noticed that Jim was carrying around a plastic hammer, likely the boat surveyor's most important tool along with his ears. Good show, keep the good stuff coming guys.

thank you, gary!! much appreciated

Thanks very much. Instead of just a two parter dealing mostly with outside hull, you could do a whole series. The lower hull, upper hull, topsides, deck, steering, rigging, insides, etc, etc. You could keep Jim busy for weeks. Thanks again, Jim, Randy, and Captain Q.

This fellow could spend 12 months or more sharing his Knowledge about just one boat I would say. It's a very interesting subject for someone like me that dreams about buying a yacht. You should expand on this direction. Thanks

I really enjoy learning on what to look for. I’m glad you got him to show what to look at. I hope he can go over deck to hull joints, what to look for on tanks, rigging, engine and steering. Hopefully you can go over everything in future episodes. Thanks for making these episodes CQ and Randy 🙏

This is a great series , well done !

Great knowledge, generous of him to share it!

Great information, keep it coming!

Great timing! I'm now searching for my first sailboat and this is great chunk of knowledge to have. I think you should ask him to do part-3, part-4... so that we could get an idea of what to be aware of not only for what is under the water line but also and up on the deck (running - standing rigging), and inside (thru hulls, various leaks, bulkheads, various ware and tare). Great video!!! 👍👍👍

I lived almost 63 years and never had more of a passing fancy to maybe get into sailing. But thanks to you darned Q guys...now I'm thinking I don't want to just get into sailing...but I want a bloody boat...maybe to live on. I'm not sure I can ever forgive you. Obviously just kidding. You are a couple of extremely likable guys who let us share in your love of boats and sailing. Your vids are a real treat. Thanks.

Just do it. Life is too short to “wish you had done” things. Be prepared for the costs of ownership though. Typically for older boats be prepared for 20% of the cost of the boat/year for the first few years and about 10-15% thereafter + slip fees in both cases. The reason for the 20% is typically sails need work. It’s a fun hobby but it does need a lot of attention and time. If you live aboard that’ll just be part of you looking after your home! I miss my Catalina. Will get another one soon once retirement is upon me (a few more years!). 🙂 A word of warning, if you have a significant other who likes the idea, I'd advise you take sailing lessons together and do some open-water cruising to see how you both take to it.

Ran day, what a great idea for a series.
