Great mechanic you found in Nathan. Easy to tell he’s an honest guy. Amazing the work you accomplished in (what seems to be) a day!
In 20 years ?! Man I’m already disappointed In the things I didn’t do and I’m only 22 goin on 23. However I did go to California this past year (from small town in Nj nobody makes it out of) I honestly thought that maybe when I retire I’ll be able to afford to go. But I saved up and worked hard and took 3 months off and said f*** it what Am I waiting for and went. Was such a rush and so many emotions flooded through me knowing that I knew in my head before this I’d never leave my small town. It was exhilarating. I just got back in October, I feel refreshed.
When you work on huge diesel engines. Wear flip flops. When you inspect storm damaged boats wear flip flops
You said one of the wisest words I've heard in my life....
"20 YEARS FROM NOW, YOU'LL BE MORE DISAPOINTED IN THE THINGS YOU DIDN'T DO THAN THE THINGS YOU DID".
I love that and wish I had heard that many years ago.
I too do restorations but on other than boats like you. Too many to mention.
You know the feeling when you take those 3 steps back with your arms crossed, looking at the final outcome of the work you've performed, smiling and say to yourself....
"YUP. THAT LOOKS GOOD!"
I love that moment in life.
There's one phrase my father said to me at a quite young age, not totally understanding it until many years later....
"A MAN DOESN'T MAKE A MAN. A MAN'S WORK IS WHAT MAKES A MAN".
I've lived with that in the back of my brain my entire life.
Great work and enjoy life as we've made it.
I liked that too. Great words
Wise words from your old man, I will keep that in mind.
No you'll find any work you do is quickly forgotten like my friend worked at same company. Died 3 months after he retired now for gotten
It’s a quote from 1991 book written byH. Jackson Brown Sr, ‘P.S. I Love You’.
@@alrightdave6135 well...I like you too but I'm not ready for a commitment! 😭🤣😂😅
Love how he talks about repairing it like it’s patching a hole in a wall in a house and adding paint!
But it basically is.... just bigger holes 😂
It's almost just as easy
@@kimfagerstrom3649 just gelcoat over the whole thing
@@Rabbit.760 an flex tape over the hole an gel coat that🤣
lol they also make it sound cheap, they bought two more for a price they couldn't refuse
I salvaged a six cylinder Perkins from a wreck, 3 weeks under water, only hosed it out without removing anything, then put oil and dish washing liquid in it, hand turned it back and forward to empty the cylinders and ran it for 24 hrs, then changed the oil and put it in my fishing boat.
It is a hundred years ago? now I remember, I ran it 2 hours with the dishwashing liquid then 24 hrs with the new oil, but kind of the same.
Those perks will run forever.
It's interesting to hear your comments on salvage damage of sunken boats. I know virtually nothing about that business, but I have done recovery for Class A Motor Homes, like Prevost, Newmar, Tiffin, etc.. When we made a recovery, the owners were usually there, and they would go "ballistic"', watching us "righting" their baby, or dragging it back up a 30' embankment. We always did as little damage as possible but sometimes is just wasn't possible not to do so.
This guy is badass, I have been watching a bunch of sailboat channels and after awhile it can get annoying to watch the rich have fun. You may know what channels im talking about. BUT this guy! He works his ass off. Great content
Yea. The ones getting rich selling memberships to view their Patreon while they frolic on remote beaches. It is pretty gross.
Just came across you channel. It’s amazing that there are people out there with the knowledge and skill to look at these boats and have the confidence to tackle the project! I look at them and think “not a chance”.
I had a similar scenario with my current house. The previous homeowner had torn down some structural retaining walls and in the process ripped up the gas, water and sewer lines. He managed to do all of this without any Engineering or Permits so it wasn’t long until the house was “red tagged”. The house then sat like this, abandoned for 5 years until it went to a cash only auction. Cash only because banks refused to lend money for a house in this terrible of condition.
Most people thought that I had gone completely insane paying cash (over $500k) for it. However, I’ve spent my career working in construction and could see through all of the problems and knew what an amazing deal was to be found for the right price.
By now Colin and Jamie have a pretty solid understanding of what their capabilities are.
I grew up in a body shop my father owned its pretty interesting watching you repair boats that probably would have never sailed again . Nothing but love from Phx.Az .
Those two diesels were the diamonds in that boat... and of course the sandles for Jeff!
and the beer in the fridge. man those engine are big
Those engines are mint! I used to work at cat in Fountain Inn S.C. I worked on the industrial tractor/truck in-line 6 cats, they had another Dept. That built the Marine Engines and they are top quality and cost lists of $$. He said he made 8k profit I wonder what he got them for and what he sold em for!
@@averygentry35 I was just watching this and decided to read the comments. I'm from the upstate of S.C. Anderson, to be exact.
I can't tell if the mechanic said 90k or 9k each
edit- closed captions says "at least $90k each"
so if he must have paid much more than I would have guessed for the two boats.
Looks like about a 10 year project. Enjoy!
if you do it on weekends; maybe; if you do it full time; and have good friends, you can do it in I think 6 Monts.
we made a old 45 johnson in 5 Monts; looked same. .. it is possible...
@@s.u.6198😮❤
Colin, we were excited to see you on Below Deck: Sailing Yacht!! When you mentioned taking a job awhile back, I wondered if you’d be on this season. I’m sure it won’t be as good as your videos but we look forward to watching it!
Sell the engines, call the boat crusher.
Just what I was thinking.
Yeah when he said $90k… yep. Bye Bye.
What did you pay for the boats
Besides those sandals Colin, you also got the leftovers in the fridge, looked like a 12 pack or so of beer as well a liquor bottle that survived ! Gotta be worth $10 more ! You might be surprised at what will survive in the electronics systems.. they're usually made in labs that clean them with alcohol and other solvents so they are somewhat water resistant on the boards. (except capacitors are usually crapped out) Displays don't usually survive, but can be replaced if you can source parts. I'd try and save the big twin motors, just cut thru the sides of hull to get them out with a forklift and service them in a shop so they can be guaranteed to operate well. Cut the rest of hull for disposal. Not bad speculation. 8K for a weekend surveying ! Hope you get a chance to show these boats again after a load of pressure washing and stripping back to structure.
I have been binge watching our channel for the past week and finally got up to to-date and now have to wait every week for new up loads lol which is cool but even more happy now that I'm watching one of my fav shows below deck and look who's on the show. Way to go Collin
I can see you are really making a virtue of necessity here. You have developed an enviable skillset to add to your existing ones. I am enjoying the repairs and graft enormously. Thank you for posting.
S2E1 Below Deck Sailing Yacht... That's where you spent the last few months.. Looking forward watching this season..
I am hooked on your channel now! You guys are nuts, but what a challenge! I had a 40' Bertram (that never sunk) and just to maintian it was a full-time job! EXTREMELY interesting to watch you pull this off!
I look at that and every fiber of my being says...........RUN !!!!! Forget you even saw it and........RUN !!!
you meant to say ....run FAST!!!!

Love the left turn your channel has taken and looking forward more than ever for all these transformations
The mechanic got the 2 caterpillar engines spinning and pickled on the searay 560 as well after we came back to west palm. New owner is going to make some good $$$
Ok so just curious what could someone buy one of these for ?
my jaw dropped at the worth of those engines as is, crazy to think what they would be new...
Welcome to orange beach Alabama... the boats were crushed and we have the engines for sale...
@@toddwhite3217 I’d love to find one of these boats to restore
Just saw a commercial for the show "Below Deck Sailing season 2" and was like "holy shit, was that Collin?" Sure as shit, your a reality show star? Was this already a known thing?
Nice I worked in a cylinder head shop, those look nice, smaller side but hey it's a tiny Cat, I've had to help move a 34L or 2075 ci engine from the scrap hauler smiles for days when it came off his truck to our yard.
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
I was just scrolling looking for videos to watch and this one caught my eye. I realized right away you are the Engineer on the new season of Below Deck Sailing Yatch this year.
The sandals sealed the deal. Great video, very interesting to see the engine work.
Jamie will be pissed missing out on those jandals and beerZ.........
Ha! I just saw you on Below Deck Sailing and stumbled accross your page. I subscribed! I spent my life as a carpenter, draftsman and mechanic. Always loved boats. I watch like half a dozen boat channels. It'll be interesting to see your spin on boat salvage/ restoration.
finally, somebody with proper tools..
Money in the bank for further repairs on Parlay; a pair of JC sandals;and, a bar fridge, all for no effort! You guys have got your heads screwed on right - and best of all, some interesting footage for maybe a couple of episodes! What’s also staggering, is the obvious large amounts of money that thrown around after a disaster like that.
This guy knows how to dig into projects! Big Thumbs up, as always. Ever get to the west coast of Florida, I'll have a cold one at the bar for ya!
Colin, you’re on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Yay!!! Congratulations
Great job with the video, unbelievable how much those salvaged diesel's are worth . Hope all your restorations are successful.
Who knew that not only was Ed Norton part of fight club, he also works on boat engines.
Don't talk about fight club
@@ls6-ss413 what are you talking about?
I was thinking the same thing.
The only value is the engines, just trash the rest until you can get a better boat to put those engines in.
Also Russel brand buying boats
Very, very, very interesting! Watching from Los Angeles, CA. Thank you for video! Steve Miller.
I had no idea marine diesels were so damn durable,totally makes sense. Especially costing 70k a piece
These guys are awesome. Had the chance to meet them in west palm beach when my tug was docked at the marina they were fixing the catamaran at. Awesome work! Love seeing this
Salvaging the engines is always the most likely money maker. We’ve seen many hurricane sunk boats here in Bermuda 🇧🇲. Well done lads and keep them coming.
You should send me some photos
Sounds like your typical kitchen fire, which does about $5k worth of damage, then the fire dept. shows up and does about $60k worth of damage.
Its is always best if you can put out your own fire.
Couldn't have said it better. I always watch the wrecker driver like a hawk because you know they don't give a shit.
That’s what insurance is for.
The entire boat was wrecked and took out two floating piers. The boat yard wanted it moved no matter what but didn’t want to pay the bill. So it got salvaged the quickest easiest way
It's pretty cool seeing you on below deck love that show and love watching these videos
Some people are flipping houses, you guys added some water, Sun and fun to the mix!!!
exciting vid, great motors.. im glad you saved them, i enjoyed this a lot.. i lived about my 48 Uniflite in NY for 25 years and miss it....
Just found your channel! Loving it! You are so right you have to make your own way and dream big or go home! So happy for you mate! My wife and I ordered a boat last year and can't wait to get out on the water in our little Yamaha Jet Boat! I hope I'll see you out there on the ICW!
COLIN !!!!! I loved you already on Below Deck . You were awesome ! Super excited to watch your channel
Omg yesss Colin! Love watching below beck sailing ⛵️
Sitting hear watching TV "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" and this the Chief Engineer some awesome guy named Colin wear a Sailing Parlay Revival shirt....
use a vacuum pump in the cylinders and empty them - a LOT cleaner - get a fiber optic camera to see into them
I think they were mostly just checking to see if they were seized.
From driving truck the c18 is a motor that all of us that do heavy haul like to have it's 1,000 horsepower out of the crate so they are good motor
Cat uses Deutch electrical connectors which probably kept all water out. The ECU looked like an ADAM 3 which they designed to be waterproof. The fuel injectors appeared to be what they call MEUI or Mechanically (actuated) Electronic Unit Injectors. Cat engineers a lot of things right.
I worked as a marine mechanic and have owned a few projects including a 40 ft. Chris Craft Roamer. I know how much work a project can be especially a boat. That's why this time around I bought a beautiful Sea Ray Sundancer well maintained and excellent shape. Boats can get a little costly to say the least.
Took me back a few years when a change of wind at anchor caused an overloaded workboat to sink. Built a sand ramp next low tide and drove the Bristol crawler tractor off , pulled the GM apart and off we went again!
I don`t have a clue of what you just tried to describe.
@@REDMAN298 sorry greg, had a bristol crawler tractor on the deck of a 40' steel workboat. went from mackay to percy island in queensland. owner anchored it in north beach saying it never blows from the north.. nighttime--it did. the 4 ton load had lowered the water line and the swells sent the waves up the exhaust pipe hump and into the boat.. it sunk. big tides there, and at low tide we shoveled a sand ramp together and drove the tractor off. then pumped the water outa the boat and towed it into the lagoon which also dries out at low tide. took the head off and cleaned the motor up, found the prickers for the pressure lamps were exactly the injector size and that cleanded the salt from them.
assembled everything and vroom, away she went. burst into life! that night, the tide went out again and the keel sat on a 20" rock, this enabled the scuppers to be exposed to water level and the boat sank agan! so after recovering from the shock we repeated the whole process and lived happily ever after. several you tubes exist about Percy Is. worth a look, great history!
this is my sons computer so i guess he is "angry cheese"(jason)

Watching from the coast of Massachusetts in a little town called Scituate. It’s nickname is the Irish Riviera. Being able to enjoy what you do for a living to do is incredible hard thing find in life. Sometimes I think I have succeeded at that this and other times I have not. Looks like you’re doing a good job at this point. I haven’t watched all the episodes yet but I’m working on it.
Those C18's are gold as long as you stay on them and get them running within a couple of days.
Amazing project! Great work, guys!
Nice man. That you prepare the boat to be worthed to be upgraded. A hell of a work. The most filthy work. The good intentions. I love it.
My dude!!!! I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I live in Pensacola Beach! I travel for a living trying to save up for retirement and do what you do now.... chasing the setting sun on the seas!
Livin life and having fun doing it! Well done!
Hey well done Boys,,,,looks like you have an awesome time, and for us that like to go to the Sea ,,you have shared some very interesting,,,and mostly not know information...
Cheers mate
The owners of the storage yards end up with most boats eventually because time is on their side. The longer the boat is in storage the more the owner owes them.
I agree. My boat is in the storage yard now racking up a bill.
I don't know man, you could turn this into a house boat, then over the years slowly replace the missing/damaged pieces of the engine + the compartment components and eventually over time you'll have a nice sea worthy boat house. But its probably like you said will never be the same but, hey i'd love to have a ship like that as a home and restore it to its former glory. I just love seeing this kind of work being done with many possiblities to be had, love your content and hope you well in the future. p.s Please send me a boat to work and live on and I'll give you the 10 year footage it takes to fully restore it XD
Pensacola,my hometown and a great place to live and ply the surrounding waters...
Went from a sailing vlog to a used car boat show
Not complaining though. There are enough sailing channels.
@@broekspijp41 I agree. This is way more entertaining.
You sir win the best comment award!
Could not help but notice the maori workboots! Love a good maori. Even the bad ones are cool
I remember the days when I could taking me on an engine head without having to worry about wincing or getting back up. LOL good on you mate for salvaging these girls. If you are in Florida until late summer, about the second week of September the Mullet Run on the East Coast is insane when it is in full swing. Catching 100 lb plus tarpon off the beach fishing the mullet schools if that doesn't get your blood pumping I don't know what will.
Just an idea, You should also post your contact information. In the event you have a boat that someone wants to buy.
Just finished my salvage!! Such a great experience!!
Never knew you were on below deck watching the season premiere tonight and love they incorporated the engineering position. Something I always wanted to see
Almost episode 100! Congrats and good luck.
I think you should make awareness about these boat projects and highlight the dramas people face... some youtubers make it look easy but it's a very challenging project. There's a shipyard in Melbourne called the yard of broken dreams... a lot of unfinished boats
Those engines would be great for many boat projects, even just as an upgrade swap for a smaller boat.
Definitely a cool boat house project for someone! 👍🏾
Sweet intro. Too the point. SUPER INSPIRING. Gave me goose bumps just listening to it.
Nice, everybody won and two stunning boats will live again, you gotta feel good about that bro :) Cheers from Welly, NZ!
Only colin won on this one
Absolutely fascinating video on how these can be restored. 🤓 😎👍
Yea love your video 😎and good content for people that love boat’s and you learn a lot 👍more video please ✌️
Sailing Parlay Revival 💯👍
They shoulda left the Sea Ray on the bottom.
Colin,
I knew diesel engines were expensive but wow, I had no idea that they were that pricey. I look forward to seeing you back at Parlay. Are the engines on your boat that costly?
Good luck and be safe.
Excellent, thanks
I'd remove the soft furnishings and heavy jet wash the inside, it will make a big change and stop the smell, cool boat and nice vid.
In season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Colin had to deal with seawater that filled the engine(s?) in Parsifal 3, and the process went very much like in this video. Nice!
I have been there & done that! Salvaged a 55' boat was submerged when I paid for it. Would not do it again, As you have to take everything to bits before you start rebuilding so it is more work than building from scratch & when you have finished you still have a old boat not a new one. You could use those engines but they are always going to be suspect. When I sold my boat I did make a small profit but the hours I spent on it my pay rate would have been lucky to be a dollar an hour!
Great episode! Very interesting!!!
Whod wanna sail when they could do nothing else all day but fiberglasswork! :)
Perfect!
“Couple little dings” 😂😂
Just watched an ep of Below Decks-Sailing Edition....And who do I see wearing a Parlay Revival T-shirt? Colin!!!! I hope you made extra money on that show to help revive your boat.
Would love to have you boat up to Maine. Will treat you to lobster 🦞 and a great time. I love your channel. It's very inspiring. Safe travels
Are you guys still in Pensacola. I live here and would love to take you guys to lunch or dinner. Been a fan for a long time.
Creep
One of the best episodes so far.
I drove for a trucking company up here in Canada. After Katrina, my boss was hauling up trlr loads of bikes, quads, seadoos, anything related to sports with engines. Our warehouse was full of dirty ass equipment. He was so happy ‘cause he made a shitload of money.
Love your videos. Looking forward to seeing you on Below Deck.
Take the boats and put them on blocks put steps up to the entrances and live in the boats.
The best two days a boat owner can have... the day you buy and the day you sell 😎
Hi Colin, so cool to follow your Chanel and watch you sometimes on below deck, cheers from France mate
Fun watching you on below deck Colin
100k nearly in sight - told you months ago :)
Can’t wait to see the finished product
Okay this is a huge inspiration because it makes my RV projects look like a drop in the bucket in comparison. 😅
Just to gut, and dispose of all the old materials in these boats would be crazy expensive!
May the force be with you, work it baby. Hello from Antigua Guatemala.
Kiaora from Yuma Arizona We have been following you since the beginning and have enjoyed every minute. Keep it up.
Interesting business model. Pick up a hurricane damaged boat sight unseen (except for pictures), verify the engines can be saved, fix the hull so it floats, put it in the water and flip it for someone else to restore (or salvage). Ingenuity for sure, could probably start a business.
