Boat Is SINKING ... This Was The Worst

- The boat is sinking and turns out it was one of the toughest calls because the lady bought it sight unseen and doesn't know anything about boats. Matt had to tell her to sell the boat and get it on land as soon as possible before it sank! The lady was crying and very emotional!

Matt really struggled with telling this lady because he knew he was crashing a lot of her dreams! BUT, he had to be honest ... what would you do in this same situation?
She had already had an electrician there that did something we aren't sure what since Matt spend his time getting her bilge pumps working! Like any job they aren't always EASY 😭
@@abcgang8048 exactly that’s why Matt was honest even though it crushed her & him actually! He said when he turned back and heard & saw her on the floor he knew he just needed to keep leaving! She left us a nice mention on Facebook… I added it to one of the responses above. She got his services for free! 👍
Thank you for your honesty and compassion!!!!
I enjoy all
Thanks Jeff 😀
A friend recommended your site and so far I think it’s great. I retired a year ago from a life as an electrical contractor and often wondered what I’d do with my time after retirement. A 32’, 1985 Island Gypsy trawler fell into my lap and I spent my first year fixing it up. I’ve learned a lot about everything from restoring teak wood to Ford Lehman Diesel engines but am always looking to learn more. So far I’m seeing you work on high end boats but I’d like to see something closer to home. Aren’t there any older junkers around there asking for help?
Thanks for choosing to watch our boat chaos! Share us with your friends. We work on all kinds of boats new and old just depends on what our clients need. We have a video coming up soon where Matt breaks a girls heart cause he has to refuse to work on her engines they were the worst he as seen. You have to remember it can be to much liability for us sometimes.
Great episode! Yep survey is critical for any boat purchase! Keep the cameras rolling! 👍👍
Thank you 🙏…. A Survey is a must this was a tough episode for Matt! Going to that ladies boat bothered him for a few days! Just because she was so emotional and he knew he was breaking her heart! But, he was honest & didn’t charge her like the other 2-3 mechanics!
@@WillFixThat 👍👍 Honesty is the best policy.. Nice job, Matt! 👍👍
Used to pin dryer sheets in the vents to cover up smells like that . Don’t think it gets rid of the smell but it definitely helps mask it . Works for old cars and it’s cheap.
The whole fridge stinks. The boat was aired out for several hours but it is still bad! We removed the fridge on Friday.
Matt didn't charge her...like he said, he doesn't want the liability.
Matt didn't have the heart to charge her ... he was the second or third mechanic to go there! She actually left us a review on facebook excuse the grammer mistakes but we aren't going to change it .... you can see it on our mentioned tab. Yes the boat was not in the best of condition so way too much liability!
Big, I mean h u g e shout out to Matt and Mobile Marine Services!! I was a wreck about servicing my boat with someone I didn't know. Matt calmed me down,was so comprehensive in his evaluation and unbelievable in how personable and fair he was. He found the repairs and gave me such a reasonable quote & info on doing one thing @ a time on MY timeline!!!
I trust him and Mobile Marine. They are absolutely my " go to " and definitely my 1st call!!!
Thank you for the accurate, fair & speedy service.

After physically cleaning the interior with Clorox Cleaner, Lysol Spray worked on my land-based refrigerator/freezer. Blast it and close the doors.
Great thanks for sharing!
Baking soda is great for smells..hang a sock filled with baking soda in there and it absorbs the smell.
Done that before it does work fast enough for fish smell.
Never seen those yellow lower unit fixtures in any of the marine catalogs (Landnsea, Pro or Bob Kerr) who makes them and where can I purchase one.
I can’t find them any more either. Bought them 15 years ago. Plastic and can be disassembled.
Matt you can never get rid of the smell only solution replace the unit up here in the north hydro goes out owners return after a week and well .tryed everything just replace
Yes you’re exactly right … replace it if you want to store your own food in it otherwise makes a great bait freezer 😂
That really sucks when your 100 hours service requires 2 lower units.
Yeah OUCH .... but don't let people borrow your boat that you don't know very well. Poor owner was beside himself when he called us!
Shouldn’t the A/C be left in to keep mold from growing?
Yes always but up to clients wishes! Sometimes they don’t even have it on when it feels over 100’ here.
Great video as always!! So frustrating when a client can’t grasp the recommendations of us professionals. Lately, I’ve just be flat out refusing to take on jobs because I feel like it would just be stealing money. The quality of so many products, and I don’t even care of the brand names anymore has gone so far downhill that people have such a hard time grasping that something only a few years old, that money would be better spent putting it towards a new one with a warranty.
David we refuse do work all the time too cause it’s not worth it! Especially if the customer wants us to take short cuts that would result in not a good repair. Yes the quality of parts is part of the problem things don’t last as long!
Almond extract wipe it down leave door closed with extract in there worked for me left anchovie bait in freezer for winter a tad bit ripe in the spring lol
Thanks for the tip how long did it take to remove the stink?
left it about 2/3 days
Whatever you want to buy you get it inspected. Especially a boat. You never lend your boat out either. Nobody drove my boat but me.
You're exactly right ... both of these owners unfortunately have learned some very hard lessons. These mistakes cost both of them thousands.
Matt was all tore up over this ladies .... not a fun call
a company called pdp (pro detail products) has a bomb and such for car interiors from people who smoke and what not... Its a great product. Rhey also carry a line of detailing for aluminum. acid which cleans and polishes works good....
Awesome thanks for sharing …. Definitely will share it with Matt.
Brian filling the refrigerator up with crumbled up newspapers
A match is next right!
One more suggestion. Get some throw away face mask and rub some mentholatum on the inside. You can also put some in your nose, works also, but a bit messy. Does a great job killing the smell, while you work around bad smells. A strong gag reflex helps also😂
Thanks we have lots of face masks but they were at our office. We even have n95 masks for paint! Appreciate the feedback good thing this doesn't happen often.
Ozone generator. They work amazing.
You’re right! We are getting the breathe 4500 to see how it works.
Tried a o zone machine for the smell after cleaning?
Yes after you get the fridge removed which we did on Friday!
What is the make/model of the yellow lower unit holders?
Can’t find them anymore already looked for someone 🥴
For the refrigerator smell, have you tried putting a bag of standard grilling charcoal in them?
Love the videos and look forward to them each week! 😉
How long do you have to keep it in the fridge? Thanks for watching.
@@WillFixThat sorry team, never done it myself but know that charcoal is good for removing odors, moisture etc., so I thought I'd check to see if you guys had tried it, or just recommend that you do! 😉
Worth a try!
@@SteeledJester great thanks for sharing.
I had cigar smell in the air vents my BMW. I found a guy in Charlotte who used an ozone machine for a few days to remove the smell. I was satisfied with the results. I'm not sure if that would have helped you in your case.
Yes we have a few ozone they do help 👍
It’s funny or actually sad how badly someone wants to buy a boat. I call it “I want it blindness”. A friend wanted to upgrade to a bigger boat and thought it was a deal. He told me to have a look at it. I motored over to it and before we were a hundred feet away I could tell it was a goner. The water line was bow down so I could tell there was a lot of water forward and likely been there a while. Since the approach was from the water, we were eye level with the fiberglass decks which were badly buckled and warped from rot and water intrusion. My buddy kept saying he could fix it. I told him that the demolition costs would exceed the price, please listen to me, run, don’t walk. He finally listened.
Good for you looking out for your friend! If it’s too good a deal run! 🏃♂️
Search 'Crime Scene Cleanup. Maybe ask one of them what they use to cleanup decomp. Just a suggestion.
Wow Jim great idea!
Get an Ozonator to get the smell out!
Yes we did 👍
They are enzyme cleaners I had a diner in KW years ago the previous owner walked out and left food behind till it was sludge the landlord got the cleaner it worked
We will have to try it.
Have you tried the Starbrite Nosguard Odor eliminator?
Im not sure I’ll have to ask Matt … have you used it with results?
Yes works well in a smaller area on certain odors
Had great success with baking soda,in the box,or in tupperware containers,left in area,it’s inexpensive,but the 16 pound container in Walmart,put containers around the boat!
Its hard with a fridge since customers need it ASAP for their food. It was cleaned out good but as you heard us say it made the whole boat stink. We installed the temporary ionizer yesterday and within an hour it smelled much better we will see.
Key west chemical has cleaner that will kill the stink
Thanks next time we will check it out!
Mercury will get you there first, Yamaha will get you back home and Suzuki will save you some money.
All nice options … but we have to get there & back! 🤣
im on my 3rd boat with Mercury.All have been reliable
@@gatorbite6354 my first boat had a Mercury 250 2 stroke EFI. That thing was a smoking, gas guzzling maintenance hog… but as long as she had a little life left, she’d still get you home even if was only on 3 of the 6 cylinders. It was the Optimax that gave Mercury a bad name. But I agree, you can’t really go wrong with any of the big three outboard makers.
@@gatorbite6354 We all want reliability especially when your in the big waters.
I would use petrol and a match. That stink will be there forever.
Exactly … it doesn’t go away! Sounds like you’ve had experience… lol!
Try simonize odor tablets
Haven’t heard of them before.
RIP Jimmy. Fins up. 💔
Yup it was a pretty moving weekend seeing all the fans from Key West!
