Wonderful layout for entertaining and hosting large groups as well as vast live aboard amenities.
Welcome to Boat Restoration by Ben! This is a channel based around all things boat and yacht restoration related. I work full time in the marine industry and when I'm not at work, I'm currently restoring my one of a kind 1992 Sea Ray 380 Sun Sport. This is my 12th boat project! From $100 boats to 60 year old relics, I started small and worked my way up. Despite my best judgement, I buy boats that need A LOT of work and fix them up myself. I grew up boating at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, went to school to become an engineer, worked at John Deere for 5 years, and then decided to give it all up to pursue my dream to work in the recreational boat industry. Now having since moved to the Chesapeake Bay area, my mission is to share with the world my love and passion for mechanics and wrenching through my marine projects all while teaching you how to enjoy boats on a budget. I hope you Like these videos and please don't forget to Subscribe! Cheers, Ben.

MAIDEN VOYAGE and I RAN OUT OF FUEL! | 2000 Pursuit 3400 Diesel with TWIN Volvo DIESEL Engines

Time to bring it home! The new to me Pursuit 3400 is geared up and ready to deliver back to Maryland... ON ITS OWN BOTTOM. Ben and Roman set off on what turns out to be a 15 hour delivery. Engines are running, hull side is patched, and spirits are high. BUT, despite our best preparation and thorough planning, will it be enough to make the 185 NM trip unscathed???? Tune in to find out... Welcome...
I Bought A Rotten Boat! | 2000 Pursuit 3400 Fisherman with TWIN Volvo DIESEL Engines

This is the riskiest AND MOST EXPENSIVE purchase I have ever! After selling the Sea Ray and searching for months for an old sport fish style boat (Bertram, Hatteras, Post, Viking, Tiara, Cabo, Jersey etc) this Pursuit popped back up on the market for 100K less than its previous listed price... Watch the video to find out why! This could be the best or worst decision I've ever made... Welcome to...

    Nice boat, with a lot of potential. Reasonable price considering everything that needs to be done and it was probably around 250k or more when new. I’m partial to the 39 and 45 ft sport express Hatteras offerings from ‘94-‘98. I’m a former employee that did mechanical/electrical installations at the High Point NC plant before they moved everything to the New Bern plant.

      @HDchico not really, 96 diesel and 2013. Seems on pretty good shape. New Gen., redo wiring and / or replace switches, change out a few pumps/ motors, replace A/C unit and ducting and blower motor. Clean boat, repaint, and fix some fiberglass depending on your usefulness and abilities. You're looking between 20 to 30 grand plus any electronic upgrades. So, if you offer $62,500.00, you might be surprised at how much wiggle room you might get on the price. It's called negotiations. Remember, they can only sell a boat for what someone is willing to pay. They longer it sits the less it is worth.

    What brand are those gauges? They don’t make the original VDO gauge (I have a Tiara same year as your Pursuit dash and all) but yours look really nice. My oil pressure gauge on port side is fogged up. I used to be a parts manager at a Tiara dealer and Tiara couldn’t even get them anymore. I think in a previous video you mentioned they were original but they are not. The gauges on your boat look great. Also, if you have receipts for anything, did they have to replace any of the sending units?
