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.
Boat is looking fantastic, you both should feel proud for all you have accomplished.
Good to see you guys are back! Looking forward to more projects / videos. Cheers!
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.
Nothing more expensive than a free boat 😊
Holy s*** I was starting to get worried if you guys were dead or something. 😮 But I'm happy to see y'all still alive and are going to continue the series.
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!
So happy you guys are back.
So great to see you back, you guys are such a lovely couple.
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!
welcome back. boat looks so good already. cant wait to see you guys take it to next step.
Y’all have really done a great job on a ton of stuff. Bravo
You made us wait, but so glad you're back!
Wow you two have put a huge amount of work in this boat, kudos to you for bringing it back to life and you’re going to enjoy cruising on it when it’s completely finished, it’s a labor of love, great job!

Hi guys, so great to see you're back. I was worried something bad may have happened. Totally understand, life happens and things don't always go to plan. Looking forward to seeing the next video. Take care and welcome back. 👋🥳🎉💖💖
Wow! Amazing job, guys!
Woooooo you are back😍😍😍😍
You guys are fantastic!! Living the salt life dream!! But after it’s all said and done, you have made a wonderful on the water home for a lot less than a home mortgage!!
Hey guys. I’ve binged watch your whole entire episodes. I’m a navy veteran. I really enjoy how folks like you restore old boats. You guys did a fantastic job doing so. I’m looking forward to see you take the boat out and see how well it performs. Until the next episode. Fair winds and following seas.
You guys are Awesome! The boat is looking great! It's so cool you work together. In this Crazy world it is very comforting to see young people doing this. Life on the Water is Special!
Welcome back! Looking forward to watching the continuation of the renovation. Glad you’re both well.
Still invested in this, nice to see uploads again. Home Depot has lexan plastic/glass sheets that size for like $10.00
Ive missed seeing these videos from you two. Glad to see you're back and still cracking on with the renovation. Great job so far, looking forward to the next one

Thanks for sharing all that you have done. My wife and I are in the same boat. We have done what you have done and tried some things you did. DIY on a boat just makes you feel good. It’s all you and makes it a special boat. May you get many years out of her and each other!

You guys "Rocked" everything. .I sat here today and watched every episode from 1 to 19 and can't wait to see more. I cannot believe someone was living in such grotesque conditions. Detriot engines, YES SIR !
Thank you so so much for sharing :) it's inspiring for us to watch and learn :) Have a blessed summer guys and greetings from Norway
Welcome back !! We missed you. You guys have really done a nice job on the boat and she is looking good. Have a great summer and please post when you can.

Thank you! Will do!
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.
So nice to see that you are back. Great job. Greatings from Belgium
Just binged all of your videos lol. I love these so much. I was so glad to see the recent update on the boat, it looks fantastic! And holy smokes Hannah, you should do modeling work on the side! So excited to see future progress.
Woo hoo! I was just wondering about you two the other day. Ok mostly Crowley 😂😂😂. Glad to see you back.
Nice to see you again, greetings from sweden😊
I respect anyone who is willing to restore instead of buying new. The old stuff is better anyway.😊
Glad to see that you are back and your boat did not burn down. Great job!

I just did the same thing to a used barn find Grady White. 1987 major clean up. Good job on cleaning your boat.
Amazing work...great job!! I was hoping you guys would be back with an update!!!!
So happy to see more videos from you guys! Some paint and the topsides will look amazing, if you don't burn down the boat before then :) Man you got lucky with that heatlamp. Could've been a disaster! Looking forward to more content!

Welcome back! Amazing job, the boat is really coming together nicely. Can't wait for more updates and to see that new paint on the boat in the colors you really want, plus the naming of your boat should be special. Cheers!

A portable grill outside sounds fantastic anyways. Nothing like cooking a fresh catch on a grill. :)

Thank you!! The portable grill is great, especially when our stove doesn't work (maybe?)
Holy Cow - finally an update - Wooooo hoooooo
You guys are really doing a good job! Keep it up!
I’m glad to see Mr Crowley , and you guys too ! I’m getting ready to restore a 1985 Chris Craft 315 Commander , ironically I grew up on a 1984 and got my fathers old slip . I’m thinking of starting to video it but have no idea how to start !
I'm excited to see you both back 😊 and follow the progress.
Great progress guys! Congratulations!
Woop woop. You guys are back, hope everything has been good. Also for the heat solution, get yourselves a diesel heater for campers.
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.
It's great to see you two agian. I've bought the smaller version of your boat. And watched your videos a few times wishing you'd do another video. Glad to see you both agian. From NZ

I guess they aren't. Not completely the same kind of boat as yours but similar. Mines a Bayliner 2958 command bridge.

Hey Sean, thanks!
Hey Welcome back!
10:20 You could put marble on top of the counter, it goes very well with the wood and would give it a luxurious feel
Missed your show!
You 2 kids are so smart. Very impressed with your knowledge and work efforts 👌
Nice Job! We have 1988 Jefferson 42 that we have worked on for the past 4 years. As a suggestion- We enjoy cooking in a large covered electric skillet. You can make grill sandwiches, breakfast, and many one pot meals when the weather is not cooperating, and it stows out of the way. a crock pot is also a standby. Keep up the awesome work!!
🦘🇦🇺First time in, and you guys have really put a lot of work into that boat. Seems there wasn’t a place that needed work. Great job, well done. Hope you have decades of enjoyment on the water. 🙏
12/25/23 Merry Christmas and have a happy and healthy new year. I congratulate the both of you . Having a boat like you have is constant work and I'll add pleasure. When its a team effort its fabulous. I look forword to your next video. Enjoy the journey.
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

I hear you! Our first quote was 12k 😵 but the person we ended up going with was $6000 for the canvassing and another $1300 for the upholstery. It's still not cheap, but I think it made a huge difference.
It's really great to see you guys again continuing with this project. Have a fruitful summer :) Cheers.
Great job in restoring the yacht!
That project is scary……salute to you both.
I love the boat life. Very special ❤
Great work!👍🌊

My first view of your channel. That looks like the 42 Uniflite that my uncle had in Poulsbo, WA. A great boat, actually was more of a Ship, than a boat. You are doing a great job and gaining huge sweat equity.
Well its about time we heard for you all.
