  • I condense hours and hours of video to give you some idea how YOU could take a SUB $10K diamond in the rough and make it into a Yacht worth easily five times as much. I have also included links for the playlist where I do these projects in more detail.

    Good boat for Florida and the Bahamas. Big AC in it would rock.

    I should not be watching this! I'm near a low cost Gemini, it is my favorite boat and the price is good. Hesitation is that there is no place to moor it on Cape Cod and I'm feeling old :-)

    Fascinated that y’all did the loop in a 30 Gemini! Is there anything you would change about the boat before you left?

    • @WaywardTravelers
      @WaywardTravelers  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it's the ideal looping boat. Have a 60 ho outboard, which is plenty.

    Hey great job!! So much work in such a short video, just don't die it justice.! I'm interested in the automatic bilge system you installed, I'm looking to do that system on my 2008 105mc. Any advice or pictures or anything else for directions, please!!!

    • @WaywardTravelers
      @WaywardTravelers  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn't do much of a video, the lighting was horrible. I used the they Hull that was a manual bilge in the head, emptying just under the sink. I ran power thru a float switch directly to my battery bank as I always want this on. I used adhesive and found the lowest point in the hill when I last vacuumed the water out. Let me know if you have any other questions happy to help.

      @WaywardTravelers  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We love it. Bit of a learning curve. We stopped putting filters down, also no TP. We also make it drier as that seems to keep any smell down. We use it full time and have only emptied it 4 times in 9 months

    Why is boat maintenance so expensive? It seems like if you are knowledgeable and have the right tools even an expensive boat can be maintained for pennies on the dollar. I'm not a boat owner but can't wrap my head around the incredible regular costs

      All the parts need to be of a higher grade to keep from rusting to dust in the salt environment. Water is the universal solvent and proves the fact quite often.
