    You owe us, random KZread people, NOTHING. It is only your generosity that allows the rest of us to follow along on your restoration journey. Thank you kindly. You two have a unique easy going comforting presence on camera. Your style sets your restoration channel far above most of the others. Those channels are good as well, but yours is outstanding! Your video productions move along at a great pace while not getting stuck at any one spot too long. Your videos mix in a generous amount of "after" pictures/video that displays the finished product. That additional editing effort takes a lot of work on your part and yields an superior viewing experience. Thank you for your quality productions! It doesn't surprise me that you had a few corporations/businesses "donate" their products for you to use. Your glowing recommendation of the individual that did your canvas work made me wish you had named their business as well (If you did I apologize for missing that piece). I may be buying a boat in Port Angeles as well (much smaller) and it likely needs new canvas. -Respectfully

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm happy to see you appreciate the extra effort we put in! We didn't mention him because he went out of business and disappeared from what we could tell. If you'll be in Port Angeles, then we can definitely provide whatever recommendations we have on local businesses. You can email us at contact@seekingseas.com.

    As someone who tried to restore a 39ft gaff-rigged ketch in Marbella on and off during several years in the eighties with quite a lot of help, and finally abandonning the project, I am speechless with admiration. You seem to achieve in a morning what I barely achieved in a week.

    Without being too cloying you are the most lovely couple I have ever checked out! So impressive with Jesse's engineering skills and Hannah's electronic knowledge + skills explaining in a simple uncomplicated way! Excellent reporting! I used to love tinkering when I was younger building small aircraft and understanding how everything worked! A large motor launch abandoned for 40 years is especially impressive. Therefore, it is most satisfying to see that the boat is rising like a phoenix!

    She's looking better and better; your hard work is paying off! Good thinking using plywood on the overhead. I did the headliners on these boats and you wouldn't want to mess with the vinyl cloth yourselves- big pain! Love the color schemes; the blue piping on the cushions looks great! I hope you get a chance to do some cruising this summer; you're awfully close to some great places to go. Smooth sailing!

    Important things to do with your boat are: 1. Check the engines. Gaskets, outlets, etc. Water pump, cooling and so on. The cooling circuit is normally plain metal and rusts from inside to outside. You only notice when it is too late. Take a small hammer and tap it. If there is not wole ok, if you go through, you must replace it. 2. Check all outlets for the hoses if the sealing is still working. Fiberglas is a great material but it does take in water. Keep it in mind. 3. You used a lot of sticky material, selfadhesife. Nothing wrong with that but make sure you keep the boat warm all year long. Humidity creates mold inside and that can ruin your job. Heating wise try one electric heating system that they use in trucks. Many boat owners are doing so and they are very happy. 12V.

  • @garrym09
    @garrym09 Жыл бұрын

    Glad to see your back, Great work so far. For heating, you should consider either a diesel hydronic system which burns diesel to make hot water and uses this to circulate around the boat to produce heat. Or a cheaper alternative would just be a forced air diesel heater. Which burns diesel to create heat blows it through duct work. The hardest part is mounting the heater in the engine room and creating a path for the exhaust.

    The upholstery work on your boat looks great, it certainly isn’t cheap. I only have a 23’ boat, a wrap around bench in the front of my boat, 2 person captains seat, and another two person bench. I was quoted $6300 and $7800, to reupholster and cushion mine. My jaw just about hit the floor. I didn’t get it done, I figured it was nothing to it, so I tried doing one myself, and it looks awful.😂 I look forward to seeing your future projects, especially the exterior flooring, and paint. I’ve seen something similar, or possibly the same stuff as your flooring sample. On a few of the DIY boat KZread channel. They also used a light & dark, gray, all 3 colors looked great. BOL
