  • This is it, the last dance... In today's video, I recap the last 3 years restoring my 1992 Sea Ray 380 Sun Sport. This boat is what helped my TH-cam channel take off and is a huge part of my boating career. It is time for the next project BUT WOW what a great boat this was. I look forward to sharing with you everything we did to get the boat where it is today... AND I look forward to passing her off to her next owner! (hopefully this video helps her sell...) Enjoy!
    Welcome to Boat Restoration by Ben! This is a channel based around all things boat and yacht restoration related. I work full time in the marine industry and when I'm not at work, I'm currently restoring my one of a kind 1992 Sea Ray 380 Sun Sport. This is my 12th boat project! From $100 boats to 60 year old relics, I started small and worked my way up. Despite my best judgement, I buy boats that need A LOT of work and fix them up myself. I grew up boating at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, went to school to become an engineer, worked at John Deere for 5 years, and then decided to give it all up to pursue my dream to work in the recreational boat industry. Now having since moved to the Chesapeake Bay area, my mission is to share with the world my love and passion for mechanics and wrenching through my marine projects all while teaching you how to enjoy boats on a budget. I hope you Like these videos and please don't forget to Subscribe! Cheers, Ben.

    I was so confused at first, i was like… i could’ve swore this dudes channel was “makin motor moves” or something with like the triple M logo thing. I watched the entire build series (i recent got myself a formula F20, found your formula videos) & watched basically all your content. Glad to see the boat is practically finished. Kinda wild that you’re selling it but I do the same thing lol. Keep up the content. If you’re bored, check out my light restoration. Floors, stringers & bulkhead replacement. 305 SBC rebuild. Can’t wait to get it on the water

    What a valiant effort brother! Life is awesome if you're daring enough to chase after it. That boat wasn't going to come to you, you had to work your ass off for it. Well done.

    Sea ray sun sport is such a great look! It still keeps up with the modern boats I think

    I love watching your videos. I've been Boating for over 50 years. Owning one of these Sea Ray Cruisers, has always been a dream of mine.
    Looks like you've got this boat about 95% finished. It's the cosmetic things that add up, and nickel and dime you on Boat's like this. Your price isn't unreasonable. I would suggest you focus on a different market. Boat buyers on the Great Lakes are definitely looking for these Sea Ray's. The fact you've got a trailer makes selling it to them easier, especially if you're willing to deliver it.
    If it was me, I'd keep her, but I get the reasons why you're trying to sell it.

    I've been watching your channel for while. Love the content. You helped inspire me to get a project boat for my son and I. Also, heads up there is a great looking 1995 Baja 420 that I think would be perfect for your channel that just popped up on the marketplace. It's cheap too!

    I use bleach and water to remove stains in v berth. But you could also put some wood trim around that place where the rust is

    Great sunday morning. Just watched all your videos today on this boat. Amazing job. Hope it goes to a good home. You start off with 2 iowa men buy a boat but you live in Maryland. Just curious. Thanks. From another boat owner in Long Island new york 😊

    Just cover the rust stains and ugliness with fresh marine vinyl. Glue it down to the stains.

      There are plenty of forgotten yachts, why don't you give it a shot on Ben's budget and see where you get. I'd love to watch more content like this and hopefully you can humble yourself in the process.

    I really do not understand why you would have done a temporary repair that way. Atleast you could have put a layer of glass over the top of that….
