I don't think anything ever gets the better of Billy.
Super funny guys.
“And more sanding”
Everyone knows that feeling! Lol haha
i just love the enthusiasm. couldn't help noticing the red wine bottle there on the shelf.
That boat has become a full time job and then some, lots of elbow grease. In the end all your work will be like one giant paycheck, “Cha-Ching” especially when you go to sell her. I think its awesome your bringing her back to life.
I bet that bottle of wine 🍷 beside Billy is long gone. Love the videos
Love the way you young people take the bull by the horns and make your life an adventure. Hi from London xx
The insight about doing the paint/cosmetic things first is a really good one, and speaks to your maturity and sophistication. I could see some young and headstrong people bucking that idea on "principle," or out of some rebelliousness or class envy, or whatever. You two represent yourselves well and are great teachers by example.
I love her comment. That's the job I like... Instant gratification. I can relate!
Welcome to the Northern California Lifestyle..!!! Palm Beach County to Palo Alto CA for me...............
I really like the length of your videos. Boat is looking better.
If you keep picking it, it'll never get well! But when you gotta, you gotta!!
Pro tip for "sanding elbow", ice cold beers and a bucket of ice! 💪👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic... The best part about you is that you kept yourself busy till you get the new boat... Loads of love from India...
IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING ... BEST TO YOUR DAD BILLY ...HOPE HE SOLD THAT HOUSE BOAT AND GOT HIS NUMBER
I just admire this "Can Do" attitude .. Keep up the good work..
Make sure you check what's in the walls around the windows. So many of these Taiwan trawlers had anything from great framing and fiberglass work to pieces of pallet wood and chopped up roving. Anyplace you find water damage needs to be inspected behind it to make sure you don't leave problems that pop up later. Don't ask how I know :-)
Billy and Sierra, Been watching you since your trawler days. We've got a 1976, 34 foot CHB trawler in Friday Harbor that I've been bringing back from neglect by the previous owner. Trouble is, I'm 75 now and I get tired just watching you two restore that DeFever! Don't forget to take a date-night someplace fun, even though boat work can be a labor of love!
I would love to see you guys take on a 13 foot Boston Whaler project and rescue one from being salvaged. Such a classic simple boat and would make a great tender for your latest project or a quick flip.
Cool Beans ~~ yup it sucks being in the middle of a dream, but that will fade and become a memory~~
Absolutely beautiful opening photography.
Closing one too.
You can do it. When going gets tough the tough get going.
Beau and Brandi have a lot of experience with using fiberglass and fixing holes etc. Invite them over for a party! Ha Ha
Holy moly that last clip look beautiful
Oh, glorious sanding.
Good TEAMwork!
You guys are more of a doers. You plan it you organised it and then you executed it. You are right we just watched it for 30 mins or more but the amount of work and the number of days it took to complete the task is far greater. Thank you very for the video. Looking forward to your next episode. God bless
hardest workers everrrrrr!..... and I hope there is a day where Sierra will never, ever have to use a sander again!
Thank you ✌️
You guys are awesome!! Sanding...ugh!! But right on, it'll be worth it.
I would trade places anytime. Boats are a love of fun to work on. You are learning and burning memories. Good video, thanks....
Sail Life refers to it as "O' Glorious Sanding".
Love that you got the boat from one of my favorite local beach towns!!
I can’t wait for the video where you guys do some sanding.
Big thanks from Québec Canada 🇨🇦
Welcome to the sailing version of the wonderful world of car shows, garage princesses, trailer queens and venue egos.
I salute your incredible attention to detail, all the while being sure and certain that the hull and skin are safe as well as pretty.
The interiors, engines and running systems are easy, compared to the exterior prep work; I'm speaking from the experience of six summers, on hands and knees, scraping, sanding, polishing and varnishing the decks and woodwork of my dad's 78' schooner (I learned to hate teak for a few decades!).
Great good luck and thank you for sharing!
Am loving following this from Australia. Can’t wait to see you get her back on the water!
The trawler project certainly has increased your views. Cruising videos are great but project videos are the best. Best of luck with this rehab!
It's true. DIY stuff is the most inspiring. People sailing and trekking and van-life stuff videos are a dime a dozen.
Real important for the boat to look good
Welcome Family
You guys really ARE amazing…. Get her back in the Water and Back to FLORIDA!!
just keep swimming, just keep swimming....
you all kno you got this
you already seen wat it gunna be
in YOUR HEADS ALREADY !:)
gunna be such a cool ride
watching it manufest !!! :)
several small goals leading up to FEWER GRAND GOALS :) just keep swimming
Plus in the Pacific Northwest weather. Always a worry.
Lots of work and lots of love. Looking great!
That preview of the finished shine is stunning!
What a contrast from traveling across the US without a care in the world, to a major overhaul and work from dawn to dusk. It will be worth it and when your done your Cat will be ready.
Is a beautiful boat to live on, comfortable. 2 yrs and it will be mint. Great boat to start a family on. 😉
You said it all in the first minute , I got a 50 foot wood ketch ..... on the hard , I have a lot of time to think bout fiberglass ! Lol
Labors of love .
Payne is our friend. Embrace it. 🤙🏼🍻💯🎯
@@TheMorganMonroeShow pain is weakness leaving the body ! Lol
It looks like all the work is wearing out Jetty. Lol
This boat will be awesome when it’s done……you guys don’t cut any corners. Oh, excuse me…..”yacht” 😃 🛥
Progress with smiles !
I must admit that I like the snap shots of projects and verbal updates. There is just to much to do for you to take all your time filming and explaining, and for me to watch it all. I love what you are doing and the fact you take us along. I still want to see you cruise up along the Canadian coast and Vancouver Island. Just a dream of mine.
Keep chipping away guys (har), I might be interested in this fine old boat for a PNW adventure next year exploring the Columbia river, San Juans, and Inside Passage. You have lots of youth and energy, I have less of that these days but more available cash. Keep us posted!
REMOV works great for breaking adhesive bonds. Follow the directions and wait the prescribed time. It is a time and energy saver.
MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) is a fantastic and effective stripper/clean-up solvent but is hazardous / very hazardous to use. Fumes from MEK are particularly a problem, hence MEK is banned in some places. Good luck you guys.
Good progress kiddos
I'm getting addicted to boat projects videos, so I'm glad you started this one :)
Thank you for another entertaining video.
Your determination is impressive
Where are you guys? 12 days and no video. Looking at much for your next ones. Love them so much. Take care and be safe. Mathew in Switzerland.
Great video. You guys are back on track.
Good call on the looks. A lot of RV parks have a '10 year' rule to try to keep their clientele 'upscale.' Marinas probably couldn't go quite that far (boats last longer than RVs) but you definitely want to keep all options available.
Love the fact neither of you takes short cuts!!doing a great job and can’t wait for next week!! Well done
Fair winds ⛵️
Great episode, your hard work is certainly paying off! We are loving seeing this refit come together!
Can't wait to see how it looks when you are done.
Try using mineral spirits to remove the vinyl lettering glue. Try to keep it wet for a little bit and then use single edge razor blade to scrape the glue off. Then with a terry cloth rag , wet and scrub the remaining glue residue off. Then wash of any mineral spirts with soap and water. Used this method hundreds of times.
I don't think a razor blade is a bright idea on fiberglass gelcoat
Love you guys. The best part, I think, is no matter what your circumstance, you're both willing to put in the work. And it's not fun, maybe satisfying/gratifying, perhaps character building, but you guys put the work in and that is whybI appreciate watching your adventures. Be safe, fingers crossed for good painting weather and give that darn doggie some super hugs.
For nearly all stickers you need a TAR REMOVER . Some have fancy names and are also called glue removers . Basically they are all made the similar way
Nice work. I am in awe of you two.
If you want a good breakfast, head over to Suisun Marina and eat at Bab's Delta Diner. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. It is not that far from where you all are at all and might give you a good short local break.
Clean and tidy looks Pro.
You guys are doing an amazing job, look forward to the next update.
Best glue remover ever, lighter fluid. Dissolves the glue and evaporates completely. Just wet, wait a sec and wipe off. Any residue comes off with soap and water. I use it to remove price labels from noble woods cuz, as you say, finish won’t stick.
Thanks for posting and sharing.
Great work. Love to see the progress on the boat.
"Boat-Flippers" - may your passion, commitment, and hard work be greatly rewarded - in more ways than monetarily... a good R.O.I. of your time & talents. Cheers. Like 501.
Wow simply Wow, you guys are amazing.
Great job guys, so many marina's in Florida turn away live aboard tenants because their boat is not up to the standards of the marina or they don't carry the proper insurance. I guess this is why you see so many sailboats anchored off shore in the Florida Keys. Plus the high cost of a slip rental will derail anyone without a sizable working budget....
Wow.. that is going to be a beauty!!!!!
While you're there, get a visit in with Garrett & Ruthie from Salt & Tar!
Wow! So much work but it is your life project. Very cool. :D
I've always had good luck with mineral spirits to get adhesive off, but it's probably too late for that now. As far as the other stuff goes Goof Off will work pretty good on the type of paints they use on boat but I don't recommend it for anything else, it's got too much lacquer thinner in it which removes most paints except for epoxy and urethanes. As far as the painting goes like any paint job the prep is where all of the work is, the painting is just the shiny part. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
You guys are going to make that boat soo nice you may consider selling your spot in line with Seawind and ordering the 1260. Then spend the year cruising in the trawler.
“that’s why I just spent all that time getting it off” that face!!😂🤣😂
I used to work with painting sport aircraft and I remember we used a silicone remover for sticky stuff. works like a dream. sometimes it requires you leave a rag dampened with the silicone remover on the hard to remove bit and it will eventually lift.
Auto body spray shops should have it.
Hang in there all your hard work is looking great. Some movie quotes "you got this" or "you can do it" lol. :)
Ah Mads would be so proud - Tula's Endless Sanding - that sneak peek makes it look worthy of all the effort.
You may are good decision on waiting for the right temperature. One year we were so excited to get back in the water we started getting everything ready like we normally do. I decided to get the bottom paint on that way you would have a week or two to cure before going back into the water. The day I get it that night was in the thirties and the afternoon highs were only in the 40s. I was actually wearing a coat and hat doing it. When I was done I looked back and it did not look right. So I figured just give it a couple days to try since it was cold. It never really looked away it had in past seasons but I figure it was good enough to get through the boating season. Let's just say I was wrong. After about 2 months in the water the kids were out swimming around the boat and underneath and that's when they said that I needed to look at something. There were spots where the paint just washed away and I could see where I had sanded the hall before repainting. So I just made it to say him to finish out that year boating season and that would be a project for The following season.
I never did repaint the bottom that's when we decided to move up bigger and just traded the boat in the way it was. Our new broker was telling me what went wrong. He says a lot of people make that mistake and that if I ever wanted to do it again invest in some heat lamps. And that's when my wife chimed in and said there won't be a next time that my husband is retired from painting our boat.
As always I enjoyed watching you guys get things done looking forward to your next episode.
Dang! I got bummed when it ended!
Use Eucalyptus Oil to Dissolve and Clean Sticky Label Adhesive or Tea tree Oil . Looking forward to this build lol.
Eraser wheel will remove the stickers and glue.
Any leftover residue can easily be removed with wax and grease remover.
😂
You’re absolutely right. And I have found that regular gasoline will remove a lot as well but the residue from that needs to be reduced/removed with other products. 🤙🏼
@@TheMorganMonroeShow eraser wheel isn't the way to go on a 10 ft decal Einstein
Luv it. Been waiting all week to see your progress. As an older guy I can’t begin to tell you how good it makes me feel to see a young couple that’s not afraid to actually do some manual labor. In todays world it’s a rarity. Very very proud of both of you. It will be a real “ Love Boat “ when your finished. Congratulations. Love seeing your progress. 😎🙋♂️👍
They are good people for sure. I don't suppose they are as rare as you think, but you have to go to the right parts of the country.
great video and yes derelict boats attract unneeded attention. I totally agree with your focus on the exterior looks
They say it's not the destination but the journey that matters. In this case I'd say it's both. You've made so much progress already. I'm really impressed. And, you are saving a beautiful boat! Kudos! 🛥
If anyone can take on a project you two can and WIN !! Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
Been waiting all week for some updates its looking good lots of hard work though.
Good luck you are going to need it 😁 I spent most of my life over 40 years as a paint and body man I repaired , cars , RVs, boats , and even golf carts .
You two are masters at boat restorations,you had plenty of practice.The hull looked so shiny and I think I should go wash my outside hull really thanks 🙏🏻 JT HOOKED N ROLLING OFFSHORE THANKS R WE REALLY ROLLING YES OFFSHORE
🤙🏼🍻💯🎯 nailed it. lol
I have considerable sympathy for you two. I went through the same thing last Winter when I sold my powerboat and as part of the deal agreed to get the boat ready to launch. That ended up involving painting/varnishing the entire exterior of the boat after replacing 7 planks on the hull. Did I forget to say the boat was an 86 year old woody? Rebuilding the galley with new counters and varnished mahogany trim, building, varnishing and installing a new table in the main salon and painting/varnishing the cabin sole in the entire boat. Oh yeah, I was working in an unheated shed in Maine. The plus side is that the boat is sold and I won't be doing any of that work again.
Love your videos and I'm happy that your not gonna cut corners and do things the right way. And if you take care of this boat it'll either be a nice keeper or a nice profit maker for your other boat. Either way experience! I'm so proud of you! Keep up the great work!
Regards, Myk
That is an amazing transformation! I'm not sure if it was just a sunset reflection off the port-light frames or they are actually made of rose-bronze. If so it will look really nice to maintain them as such and not paint them. They can be shined and coated with a slightly abrasive polish and then coated with wax or a polymer protection to slow oxidation.
Not worried you two with supervisor Jetty can accomplish anything.
Very sound approach! 👌
