เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2009
Ahoy, TH-cam! Thanks for checking out my channel ON THE DOCKS. I’m Jack, and I have been a Dockmaster in San Diego for several years now and I have found that a Marina is a truly crazy and magical place. A melting pot, if you will, where the opportunity for excitement looms around every corner.
Helicopters landing on MegaYachts. Surf spots only accessible by boat. Seagulls that kill. Homeless vagabonds. Boat owners gone mad. Endless free fish. Pirates. The search for the perfect burrito. And even an amazing love story.
So I decided to get a camera and start recording. This is my life ON THE DOCKS, where I’ll be exploring every aspect of life at the marina, the surrounding San Diego area, and where ever else life takes me. Even if you aren’t a boater, don’t worry, there’s a little something for everybody ON THE DOCKS.
Just remember, the Marina giveth, and the Marina taketh away........enjoy!

13' BOSTON WHALER 20HP HONDA OUTBOARD MOTOR RESTORATION PROJECT
It's been over a year since I started restoring this old 13' Boston Whaler and I am finally close to finishing. I found this little boat sitting neglected at Kona Kai Marina on the mega yacht dock and was able to get my hands on it for $1500 including the 20hp Honda outboard motor with the tiller arm. What I thought would be a two week turn around on this boat has taken me over a year and has inconvenienced almost everyone at Kona Kai Marina in one way or another. Luckily with the help of my friends I can now see the finish line on this never ending project and hopefully It will be tied up next to my Catalina 30 with a surfboard on it in by September 13th. Just in time to make it to see Chicago at Humphreys.
When I first pulled it out of the water I was determined to slap some bottom paint on it, buy a new carburetor for the motor, and call it good. How naive I was. As I began to sand the bottom and as the temperature fluctuated I noticed water seeping out of some cracks in the bottom of the hull. I thought a couple days out of the water would be enough for it to drain from the inner foam core, but the water kept flowing. I ended up leaving it out of the water for months before I felt confident that the water was mostly gone.
I proceeded to thoroughly sand the hull, clean it up with acetone, and apply Gel Magic to the underside to seal up all cracks and gouges. I then applied a barrier coat in white to further seal and protect the hull. The sides got another coat of white topside paint and the bottom was coated in black bottom paint. We then flipped the boat up onto a trailer and that's where this video begins.
Just putting on the finishing touches now. Cleaning up and sealing the rails. Putting on the rub rail. Sealing the through hull. And starting the motor.
Stay tuned for the next episode where hopefully I finish up the boat and thanks for watching ON THE DOCKS!
Feel free to drop comments with any questions you may have and I will try my best to answer them.

Question: Should you lock anything in the sewage system on the boat before sucking out the content from the black water tank?
Dream
She follows directions well
San Diego, nice. Just got a Catalina, slip in Shelter Island
The table/bed setup is great. Need to do that.
lol it is such a privilege and I am so grateful. When my holding tank was full I had to shit, well I was at a mooring ball so you can imagine that I went for a swim
Thank you for the info. pumping the pooper sounds like something for a totally different website altogether😅😂
Wow great sofa bed
Is that his daughter.
30’ is too small for two people to live aboard even with a cute tiny Filipina!
Guys, what should year of your Catalina ? And second question; where you buy new pillows on the sofa. Not the small ones you bought on Amazon, but the big ones. Sorry, my English is not native. but I really hope you understand what kind of seats and backrests I’m talking about
@@unitelevator all custom
Hey, great video! I am looking into buying a Catalina 30 and really like the way yours looks in the cockpit area. I was wondering what brand or manufacturer your dodger and tent cover were. Thanks!
It’s all just custom canvas work. Check with your local canvas guys. If in San Diego use Silver Bay
This is my first visit with you. I've watched MANY other youtube sailers and you are the first one to show me this. Thank you!
Would have bought a C30 long ago if I had known they come with a built-in Filipina
Nice crib! I really like how it has been fixed up. Good job Rona!
how tall are you? i'm 6' 3" tall; could i stand up straight?
I'd always keep that guest bed down and just lounge out lol looks super comfy
Crushed it
Lucky Jack
Valcro TV mount! Genius 😃
Don't look now...someone put bananas on your boat!
love how she says the head works well for 2 people but all you see is her stuff😉
beautiful boat! How tall are you? what's the headroom like?
Great job yall❤
Crushing it
Hi. I too have a Cat 30. I love to get ideas for my boat from videos like yours. Can you tell me about your 12v fridge. Brand? I used to live in the SD area (OB)in the 80’s. Sailed your area a lot. Made a couple trips to the Coronado Islands. Love y’all’s channel. Jonathon
So expensive I love it but can't buy😢
Is that a nuclear cooling tower coffee cup?
Dude. I know it's an older vidie but I had to say something. The Velcro for the TV is an outstanding idea. I'm very impressed. that's enough alow that deserves a sub and like thumbs up👍
Thanks man! It really works great.
New to your channel. Looking to buy a Catalina 30 in the next few years. Renting boats for now. If you need a hand, I'm not a total novice, and would like to help.
Ceiling height?
9:51 "Our bathroom.. or toilet" that is the head. I don't even have a boat and I know that
Epix
How many liters have the barrel? thans
I gotta agree with you, the Velcro TV mount is a winner! I'm looking at these on line. I'm concerned the v berth will be short as I'm 6 foot 4.
Next Video... "How To Pimp Out A Boat".
Nice.
😎
You guys made me look at my C-30 in a whole new way😂
Thanks for this video from new boTer
beautiful - done some sailing on Czech lakes, wish I could live on a sailboats
Did you look at the tailor GS mini to?
I did. They are very comparable, but the materials in the Martin are mostly synthetic so they don’t absorb any moisture which is necessary on a boat.
@@OnTheDocks interesting. Thanks for replying.
This video was very helpful. I am looking at buying a Catalina 30 and this is exactly what I needed. (edit: that said you need autopilot).
super quality and in depth tour!
Great video! Thank you! I'm planning on purchasing the same.boat. Catalina 30. Therefore all these tips will come in super handy. I'm debating between the 27 footer and 30. However I think I'm going with the latter.
I’d probably wear shoes for a pump out. 😂
They’re not 400 bucks now
Tie your boat like that next to my yacht, and I assure you, you'll get a lesson in boating. And depending on how you respond to that lesson, you may get a lesson in swimming as well...
Love the video!!! - What year is your boat?
1983
Enjoyed your channel! Just Subscribed.I’m trying to convince my wife that a circumnavigation is a great retirement project and went so far as to even start a little channel (@NavalGazingatCampDavid) to sell her on the life style….desperate times and all that. Lol. Thanks again for the great content. I have a whoooole new appreciation for the time and care it takes to create these episodes!
