Even after watching this whole series a couple of times you can't understand how you make things look so easy to do and repair when in reality it is so tough specially when you don't have all the tools on hand, it clearly shows your craftsmanship. On the other side the fact that this guide of how to do it is one click away definitely makes me more confident to take over those scary projects, thanks so much "A" for taking your time to share your job and thinking process with us, priceless.
If a person chooses to repair boats for a living and sticks with it for the period of time he has I would hope anyone who does the same is able to make it look easy. It's going up and down a ladder on the hard that gets harder over time ...😂
My boat detailer taught me a trick to cleaning viynl. Use paint striper or acetone. It will remove anything. Just make sure you wash it and hit it with conditioner afterward! Love the channel, brotha!
when using aerosol sprays keep the spray head that just pull off, so when you loose one before empty, you can try various ones ,till a fit, and keep on spraying.
Someone may have already suggested this, but I've had three Boston Whalers and have always used Soft Scrub bathroom cleaner on the floors and upholstery. It cleans great and contains a small amount of chlorine. Might be a solution. Nice job on this boat.
@@ct1762 I use Ajax powder and its perfectly fine...Softscrub is even less abrasive...those deeply ingrained stains won't come up without some scrubbing with powdered cleanser...
As usual great job I like your attention to detail you did a fine job I appreciate your knowledge I do the same thing for a living in Louisiana I watch all your videos and I continue to learn thanks again
Love it. Gotta do the same with my 16' Dauntless . . . Would LOVE to have that big console to work in. Gonna do mine in the garage and just take the whole console out rather than break the back. T-Top and leaning post mods I did a few years ago are gonna get a rethink. Probably lose most of the next season but will be a killer when done.
Use soft scrub to clean the white vinyl and fiberglass it's got a soft abrasive and bleach for cleaning. Its will make a moldy Bimini top look new with not a lot of effort. Just keep it moving and don't let it sit because it will bleach
I wonder if white shoe polish would work to “stain” the vinyl? Easy enough to test. Years ago one of my friends was buying up old Mopars that had been neglected for years, the man was a magician. He would take a car and do to it what you’re doing and the car would be spectacular. Most people are either to lazy or intimidated to revive old vehicles. Great video, I watch these to try to learn new products etc for restoration.
It was basically a repo where the owner didn't pay their bill for so long that they went through the process of taking the boat for payment of the bill. Once a bill gets high enough it's actually pretty easy, I think you do most of it through the Sheriffs office and the DMV but also have to put it in the paper, but after that the DMV gives you the title to the boat!
american nonstandards for wiring is illegal in my country. terrible system that can easily be simplified by a colour code system to make things basic and much more safer. not many boats get sold from america in my country. too far behind in technology

Good job finding the correct barrel bolts for the hinges! (Beckson)
Also, UPD plastics probably makes a windshield for that.
I had similar staying on my vinyl and when I couldn’t get it out I used vinyl dye/paint made by SEM and it’s been three years and has held up great.

how is it on gelcoat and vinyl though

Good job. My 18' 2014 Tidewater with a 115 runs 48mph with a three balde prop.
For the inside of the console, try some vinal seat paint from rustolium
I missed how you fixed the steering? Plus, the final resolution and placement of the outboard?
The steering was just a power issue once I fixed the breaker the pump came back on :)
Man…. I don’t realize just how bad of shape this thing was in when you found it. You did a killer job fixing this thing! Super impressed 🎉🎉🎉
Right lol
3M adhesive remover... Works like a dream.

Try the magic eraser with a degreaser like purple power or simple green. Then wipe with 303 protectant. Great video!

the green paint is most def. some leftover paint used to save money..
The boat looks good. What grit are you using while wet sanding?

Awesome video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Muy buen video, saludos desde Argentina !!
Caps on during charging ,less chance of exploding from off gassing
Awesome. Thanks for sharing 👏👏👍👍

ABYC rating of the boat :/
So how much is this boat for sale for now ?
Asking like $44,000
@@BornAgainBoating 😆

to small
modern products are expensive gimmicks, use bleach on to clean stains, and a cheap old buffing compound with wax to polish stuff. modern crap is crap
This is not Restoration. Its a demolition.......
