It is the rear seal leaking, common.

Fukkkin aDORable.

As one good Joe to another you did a great job. I’m planning a deck refinish on my 16’ Wayfarer sailing dinghy and enjoyed hearing you talk in detail about removing vs masking the fittings and prep and painting tips. I’d say that deck looks great now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. BTW I’d love to know about that slick gantry your using to lift the boat on to its trailer. I just watched your post on the GoHoist nice product, they should be paying you!

Was it a real title or something he whipped up on his computer?

Never by anything from Amazon. Get your stuff from serious dealers.

Good video as always Joe. Although West Marine isn't usually a low-price leader, you got service from them. but I like the can of beer test, your temperature gun would have worked too--yes? My dad converted the icebox in our 1967 28' Owens into a refrigerator. He used aluminum to make the box, the door and shelves from the icebox and added insulation to the outside of the unit. He installed the compressor in the engine compartment and ran the refrigerant lines into the galley. It was only 110v and worked well enough for the boating we did at the time. And Happy Holidays!

Joe, I noticed the cheaper one used Pentane as a refrigerant. Pentane burns. Friends cousins garage burned down when the cheap fridge let loose its pentane. Googled yours and looks like it uses R134 and has a danfoss compressor and other good stuff that may save a lot of juice keeping the beer cold

You are correct. Both of those refrigerators should have been doubled boxed. West Marine bends over backwards for customers, you pay more, but you get better customer service. To compare "apples to apples" you would need to examine all the components. Also the Isotherm runs on both 120vac and 12vdc, that adds to the cost. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎅🤶.

Is that Isotherm door swing reversible?

Merry Christmas Joe !

Very nice tour of an exceptional little cruiser. Thank you sir.

You provide a great service to the community Thank you sir

Nice little boats but the idea that you could take this boat anywhere is not true at all.

Bolt on keels = bad new sooner or later. The boat viewed outside is not a bolt on keel. So either these are 2 separate boats or the presenter doesn't know what he is looking at. (It's probably a plate to ground a lightning rod.)

I just saw this video and I’m sure she has sold I would have bought her she is exactly what I have been looking for 😢

That looks like it could take me home to Ireland

Looks pretty Good!

Sid

Really enjoy watching your progress…Thanks for sharing

Man don't even begin to clean with soap and brush !!! USE A POWER WASHER !!!! It will even clean the non-skid deck.

Great video. I learned a lot...I'm really amazed that it's not an encapsulated keel.

I love your teaching style. I learned to sharpen a card scraper. I find using a card scraper is quicker and you have greater control. Also less dust and no noise. You will still need to sand in those tight places though.

Good to know. Thanks Joe.

Great work.

I like this big old girl . I think the fact that she is still around after all these years means she has heart and soul . I really liked her engine room and the aft cabin 👍😁 Good find !

Great job Joe. Your superpower is articulate narrating and great organization.

Great work Joe. That might be a 5' paint job!

Metal filings.

I saw some gel coat cracks. Did you do anything besides sanding to alleviate those cracks? Or just fill them with the paint?

Are you going to through out any suggestions of brands of one part primer & top coats both gloss & semigloss coatings, what have you tried ?

I have watched a cpl of your videos now and there great can't wait to keep seeing more

Billy Joel answered the question and I like it just the way it are as well. Unable to walk and dying to get back out there, maybe something like this is just what I need. This one would have been hard for many of us to pass up...timeless style and she looks great.

Great insights on your purchase. I’m going tomorrow to look at a Skipper 20. I will pay attention to your suggestions as to a personal survey. Thank you

I have used woodprix plans and I think they are really good. I have already made a lot of things out of wood thanks to them.

So true 😅 I spend too much hours on my mirrorfinish boat 😤

You would roll yourself silly in that hull.

Great : ) Thx : )

Nice

I like the painting process you done.

👍

Nice!!

I have done many Rustoleum paint jobs. I always use hardener in the paint. I usually spray. I do prefer working with high end 2 part epoxies, but some things don't justify the cost.

Looking good Joe. I’ve like Rustoleum paint too, but for me it might be a 20’ rule. It’s a boat. It goes in the water where bad things can happen!

J, I apologize for taking so long to comment on this video after being mentioned in the description. TH-cam notifies whatever it wants sometimes and unfortunately I didn't see this one till i clicked on "mentions". Ive always admired how well put together your videos are. You have a systematic and very detail oriented approach to your editing which is also reflected in the clean work that you do on your boats. You are being modest when you say you're an amateur. Your work is VERY good. And so is your editing. This is probably the most painstaking part of making videos. It takes a ton of time! Especially with the informative graphics you include in most of your videos. I can appreciate all those things so kudos to you! I am also glad to hear you are continuing your youtube journey. I too began youtube almost exactly 2 years ago and I never thought I would be where I am at right now. Its frustrating, its exhausting but it is life changing (for me at least). Ive met so many people that share the same passion for boats as I do and have shared emails with people all over the world as I am sure you have as well and its a cool feeling. The opportunities youtube has opened up for me I could've never dreamed of. I wont be stopping any time soon either! Although my channel isn't solely boat restoration, the restoration part is what really motivates me to keep making videos. There is something so satisfying to me about bringing my boating ideas to life. I just purchased a 75' Seacraft for restoration and will be attempting a pilot house on it. Call it overly ambitious for a newb but I'm determined. I must've watched your Pilot House video 100 times lol. This project, I plan on slowing down and being more methodical in my approach so I can have a more professional looking result like what you have going on with your trawler. Oh and if you don't have haters and trolls, you're doing something wrong! lol Thanks again Joe! If theres anything I can help you with in regards to youtube advice or just someone to bounce ideas off, please do not hesitate to shoot me an email. 🤙🛥🌊

Put a pilot house on a Skipper 20. Turned out great. Have pictures of I could figure how to get one to you. This is a year ago post I'm reading. How did you do?
