@@Barriedoingstuff 😃Video always makes it look easy. When I bought my Compac 23 it had 3 years worth of dirt and green growth, it took a good few hours but was a nice job to see it come back to life. Good luck with the interior. Looks like you have a fantastic workshop to work in🛥👍🏻 All the best, Paul
@@Barriedoingstuff I do not think I have the skills either😄 I have never sailed her due to being on the Thames with lots of low bridges, but I do love to motor about. I will probably end up with a nice motor cruiser one day which is better suited for the Thames. 🛥⛵👍🏻
Great transformation on the exterior.👍🏻Lovely looking boat.
Thanks, the video made it look easy :) I'm looking forward to getting at the interior, it's going to be transformative.

@@SCCFORUM I saw your videos of "Hemingway". I don't have the skills for sailing, so I stick to motor boats :)

I have had two Carver Santego's. The Riveria that you have is a strange layout.
Carvers are good boats.
The Santegos look pretty awesome. The Riviera is a strange layout, isn't it. Aft cabin, mid engine, stern drive in such a small boat.
Looks like a lot of work, but done right you will have a fine vessel again
Great project.
Thanks. I'm excited to work on it and looking forward to the day it gets relaunched.
The launch ramp should have been on the other side of the pier!!!
You're right, I never thought of that. It would block the current. It's been there for 40 years.
I know everyone stayed to see me either fall in, or the boat get away from me 🤣😂🤣
You guys did a good job for what you had to work with 😂
@@wadetuttle1216 Thanks, I didn't even get wet 😁
I actually watched to see if the axles would hold that behemoth. well done.
To much music !
@@AB-bg1or Haha, It had an unknown amount of water in it, I was hoping for the best 😂
worst boat i have ever worked on. not worth ten dollars. hard to work on hard to get on and off and dumb set up Does dock well.
Good thing it was given to me 😁
