yes, thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing. I am a new sailboat owner and will be doing a bottom job on it soon. This was a sobering reminder of how careful I need to be. Im glad only your ego was hurt.

Thanks for sharing... Good Bless, and what a good person who could maintain temperament after that... I really hope you were ultimately able to get past this!

What a mess. There's too much lead in that keel and it's way too high in the structure. Why not unbolt that keel, melt it down, build or cast a fiberglass or aluminum keel, and use 1/2 or 1/3 of that lead for the very bottom of the keel? That's one heavy boat.

Beautiful work❤

What was the time frame adding your 6 layers of topcoat? Any sanding between them?

2 2 ton chain hoists from the rafters. I do it with one chain fall to raise my shark 24.it has keel bolt eyes.

Wow, keep on going

Where did you get the jack?

You do fantastic work. No corners cut.

I'm a sailor in the Great Lakes. CAT 30. I love seeing the dolphins in your bow wave.

I seea dodger in your future.

I have never had good luck fixing dinghys. Buy a new one. Oops i see you did that.

I installed EV100 as well Great Autopilot.

When you replace the bulk heads do you get them from Catalina or Catalina Direct or do you use 4x8 sheets and cut to size?

Don't trust your rubbed hoses. Get them all replaced. I get the idea you don't carry corks in case a hose or valve breaks.i like a CB radio and good antenna on a boat. Ship's fridges tend to be power hungry. 12 volt chest freezers are now inexpensive. I use mine on ECO mode exclusively.

Nice boat

I guess this is a dead boat channel. It's be over 2 years no an no New videos. So I guess this is good bye. Time to go find a new boat channel. Aloha and Mahalo from the Big Island of Hawaii! R.i.p.

"After the accident" : I would call it after the mistake as accident implies accidental, and that wasn't the case.

Interesting, what weight was the mat you were using on the keel to hull joint, please, and how many layers did you use? My observation is the thicker the mat, the harder it is to go round bends. And I have to do just this job :) Also do you think that the keel is connected to the hull in other ways (eg internal bolts) than just the fb keel to hull joint. Thanks

How did you decide on the type of glass you used? It looked like mat and cloth. How did you decide on the weight (oz) on the glass? Did you match what was there? Did you rotate the cloth between layups for added strength?

Nice Job well done preparation is always the key to a great finish

I like that motorsailer pictured behind on the last of your video. How much are you asking for it?

This channel should have way more subs and views

I also work on boats the hazards of working by your self be safe my friend

I need to replace my adjustable v berth windows and was hoping for a video or instructions. Thanks. Peace, David

..i thought for sure catalina would fix that all for free as extended varanty...1996 is not thaaat long ago...(joke)

amazing that you had any propulsion with this prop..

Still going strong? I’m thinking about doing this since a stainless steel custom is 600$ plus

That's one sketchy trailer.

What a nightmare

Hey Dude you doing ok? Did you fix your keel crack after that accident?

Excellent shot of the dolphin.

Sorry guy, Hurricane SANDY 2012 did Less damage to my Rhodes22, than u did to this Ranger22.

How much did you pay for the boat?

Great channel.

How did you move the boat over?

Great video.

Good video.

Your intention is to sell the boat? Do whatever is easiest.

Did you really think that, that wasn't going to happen?

Great video, very informative.

Questions for you, please. 1. About how many sanding discs (in the finer grits) did you use for that length hull? 2. At what grit do you begin wet sanding? 3. What do you use for the guide coat? I have the the Mirka dry coat, do you prefer spray? Thank you very much. Everything you post is extremely informative.

I’m looking at a similar Catalina 30 MKIII in Wisconsin on the hard in cold storage and leaking windows let water fill to the top of the bilges. The rest obviously will need a closer look. After watching your posts, I’m worried about the compression post. Any recommendations when negotiating?

Man I can't get past that Dodger Stadium hat, lol. JK, great video as always. Is there a way to send you pictures of my sailboat deck for some advice? I tried the TH-cam email but it doesn't work.

How much fuel did you use for the trip?

Can that bondo material be used on the outside of the hull, lets say to fix a ding where the boat hit the dock and knocked some of the gelcoat off exposing the fiberglass?

Really miss your videos…. hope all is well and you are enjoying sailing. I was totally inspired by your work ethic and it motivated me to tackle some tasks on my Catalina 27. Hope you can post some more in the future.

When can we expect the next video? Are you well and have you been well? Missing your videos!

Loved your storytelling. Informative for us potential sailors of the ICW.
