I restore boats as a hobby and I'm here to tell you, You accomplished a lot in six weeks. That's unbelievable and it looks like you did a quality job. Great job
From what everyone keeps telling me, it's impossible to make back the money you put into a boat, is this really true? At some point there must be some level price that makes a boat worth restoring if you can do it all yourself. Everyone keeps telling me that I'll spend more to refot a boat than to just get newer one, so if you have any insight to that I would love to hear it.
Definitely not easy to do. Our 47ft boat is timber we couldn't get pulled out with straps so drove further to get on the slip 😊 great work guys ❤ new subscribers from South East Queensland
@@givenfool6169make sure you have a good look at the boat underneath, whether the bilge pump keeps going off that means there's a leak somewhere. Our mates bought one for 300k it was mint and also had a mate buy one for $1 and do it up, sadly after a few months it sank. It's easier if you take a boat mate or someone that has a little idea 😊 we didn't pay much for ours but it was nearly sinking, hubby looked over it and knew he could have a go at restoring our boat. 6years later we still have her floating. It's only 47ft and we didn't want to pay marina fees so we built our own swing mooring, which was fun 😅 boat life is the best life❤
@@givenfool6169 Like anything. When you're paying someone do to the job. The biggest expense is labor. When you're doing it yourself, all you have to do is shop for parts.
I have been watching for over a year. This is the icing on the cake. My wife and I worked side by side for the last 25 years on various jobs. 17 years of that driving truck together. I know what it is like to have a significant other with you in the lows and highs of a journey. You two made your boat into a beautiful house on water. take time and relax and enjoy your hard earned treasure. Best wishes to the both of you.
So inspirational. For so many the "this old boat" way is the only way, but it opens the doors to anyone not afraid of hard work and learning something new every day.
The teamwork y’all have between you is truly amazing! My wife and I have been married 33 years and there is no way we could have tackled a six week project together, especially one of this magnitude. Heck, we can’t even make dinner together without arguing....lol. Seriously, congrats on a job well done. Your boat looks amazing and you should be very proud of it. Now go enjoy it on the high seas (and don’t forget to make us some more fun videos to watch).
In my 55 years (30+ as a Paramedic Fireman) I have done some serious work, but I am in AAAWWWE of you two!!!! LOVE this, enjoy every minute you are on the ocean chillin!!! May you be blessed with Fair winds and following seas
He’s a badass! He said in the beginning he would get it done in 20 minutes or so and HE DID! Gangsta style. Awesome transformation. Congratulations; you should be very proud. Transition is amazing. Of course we all recognize your team ( partner) effort.
Hi guys. It's Rick up in Canada. I've been following you on your adventures for quite a while now and enjoyed every episode, sometimes more than once! But I have to say these last few weeks in the boatyard have been some of the most informative. Both about the work you had to do to get the boat refinished, and the insight it gave us into you as a couple. I can't help but think, that a couple that could go into a project like this, (basically learning a lot of what had to be done as the work progressed), and come out the other end of a six week endeavour of this magnitude, closer to each other, and still smiling, has to be destined for greatness at some point in the future!! I just know you will be heading out on bigger adventures and i'll be following everything you post! You're a great example of how a couple can work together as a team, and just what can be accomplished. Good luck, and smooth sailing from here on in!!
This Puertorrican expression picking on your cheek means "looking good" and we used it when we like something very much. You guys did an awesome work. Congratulations! so as I say picking on my cheek "chuchin"!
Patrick here.. really amazing of all that hard work being done together.. what a bond and memories you are creating. I wish you both all the happiness in the world and when the time is absolutely right and you decide to have babies Matt is going to be a great gangster dad and Kristen will add the right amount of fineness. I only know you through this medium but I have been dreaming of being on the water with my family and chilling with you guys, .. happy sailing ⛵. Love always.
I totally agree. That first full rebuild in a boat yard is even more transformative for you then it is the vessel. It changed my life and how I look at things for sure.
We watched every episode of the transformation. Watching this time lapse is amazing. All of your hard work captured in 20 minutes. Great work ethic with a great result. Congratulations!
You are right, the “cheek gesture” means “bien bonito” that translate to pretty. Nice hard work with an awesome reward!!! Now enjoy the results from it, blessings.
Matt and Tristin are an inspiring, amazing couple who stick together through life's thick and thins with a warm, real, courageous sense of humor. Just really good people.
Y’all are a hell of a team! Sailing GBU has truly been transformed, amazing! She looks beautiful in the water and will turn heads as you enter new harbors. Well done guys, we’ll done.
Great work guys, I am a shipwright and for 40 odd years have watched people tinker with boats and dream of cruising. You guys are living their dreams. The boat looks fantastic, get back to sailing and let the sea wash the dust from your pores All the best.
Watching you both for a few years has been fantastic. The boats improvements and over all look have been justifiably well documented in the comments! The growth and continued prosperity of your "family unit" has made the trip rewarding for you all and your viewers. Thanks for sharing so much with your viewers. Tim
You guys really did a bang up job on that old boat. She really looks beautiful. I love following your Vlog. I’m a disabled retired old USAF jet mechanic and USN Aviation Machinist Mate and Patrol Plane P-3 Flight Engineer. I wish I could be out there adventuring over the high seas again but I’ll do it vicariously by watching your videos. Thanks, God Bless, and be safe out there. I’ll be with you in my heart just as I am with Bobby and Sailing Doodles.
Gone from ugly duckling to swan in 20 mins, you've done an incredible job in a short space of time, now's the time to be proud of your work and enjoy it.
I'm an old retired sailor and when I think of all the work you guys did, I need to lay down and rest. I can't imagine how exhausted you folks were at the end of each day. The boat looks beautiful and you're an inspiration to us old sailors.
The Beatles said "...with a little love we can make it out.." So you guys put a lot of love and enthusiasm in your team work, and the final outcome is amazing! It does not have to be a million dollar boat, to make you happy and proud. Enjoy you new vessel, and keep up your story, because we love you, and follow every step you take!!!
As I watched through this, I was thinking you were not in the water yet just teasing me. Looks like you are in the water and enjoying the awesome life you so greatly deserve, after all that super hard work and heart ache of last week. Now, on to engine repair lol (that should be interesting.) Wishing you two a wonderful week. God bless.
SIX WEEKS??? WOW! You two should know that we both actually APPLAUDED when we got to the end of your video. Sincere KUDOS! INSPIIRATIONAL And I MEAN that. My lady & I are both Pilots. Michelle took six YEARS rebuilding her antique, open-cockpit aeroplane (all wood). (You can see her flying it on our fearwidge "channel." ) Meanwhile, a total stranger GAVE me an Ultralight airplane in need of a TOTAL rebuild. (Also all wood.) After stripping off the fabric and seeing how much work was involved, it's been sitting in our driveway "hangar" for a year. But after watching your video, I'M MOTIVATED! Gonna start work TODAY. So, THANK YOU BOTH, and our SINCERE congratulations on a job REALLY well done.
After following all the episodes of the transformation, this one truly shows how all your efforts have the GBU shining brighter, and I’m sure the pride and moral aboard the GBU is soaring as well! Best wishes with continued success in your GBU journey, a summary on the final budget of the 6 weeks transformation would be a great video and insight for all.
Through this time lapse everyone gets to see just how much love, dedication, work and just a portion of the blood, sweat and tears that went into this refit. It is truly astonishing and something you both should feel immense pride in for the rest of your lives. At points especially when you were removing the years and paint and gunk on some of the wood work I was stunned at just how beautiful it was and how it had been hiding in plain sight for all these years so to speak. Just amazing and an inspiration for anyone debating doing the same and putting this much effort into saving an old boat. At the end of the day I have to say that your efforts have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that yes it is worth it as long as you find the right bones/boat to start with. Again just an amazing job flaws, that only you see, and all. My hat is truly off to you both. Fair Winds, Safe Travels and God Bless...
Ok you two ! Don't be blowing smoke in my sail !! You really went out and purchased a new boat !! Hahaha just kidding my brother and little sister !! Wow unbelievable she's just beautiful !! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 great great job my hard working friends !! Love you guys safe sailing . Party party party 🎉🎉🎉 your friend Captain Rick
I watched most of the videos from the beginning and what really impressed me was your willingness to reach out for help when needed and that plus your hard work gained the respect of the yard workers. They know genuine when they see it that and your unwillingness to compromise on your vision. Congratulations and Well Done.
Beauty is a abject thing it plays with the mind big time having a solid structural boat is the most important part of boating you guys have done a fabulous job with your boat your videos are so top notch by far your music is just to die for Gawd you guys are so awesome to follow your so high on my list of boaters/sailing crews ever much respect for your stead fast efforts in all that you do for viewers of this channel THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I literally began to cry at 16:10 in. Wow!!! I've been watching all your later videos and now I see how much love and attention you gave to this sweetheart of a boat!!
This time lapse is the best I’ve ever seen on YT! The effort and hard work you guys put in this project is way beyond my English skills to express in words. Well done guys, well done indeed. I truly hope that you are proud of yourself now❤️
Felices mil días trabajando para dar vida a tan lindo barco, felicitaciones por no haberse rendido, me da mucha alegría que estén por flotar muy pronto.!!!!!
My wife and I just loved getting this view of the transformation you guys made happen. Was in our commentary how much you both really put your elbow grease into the project. Chuckling at the one short bit with Matt watching you work. :P Seriously great work to be proud of and enjoyed...and you still have your gritty sailor cards. Really enjoying your adventure.
Grüße aus Stuttgart, tolles Team mit großer Lebensfreude. Es hat mir viel Freude gemacht euch zuzusehen. Wünsche euch Immer eine Handbreit Wasser unter dem Kiel.
OMG that is a lot of work. I’ve owned boats my whole life and just the work it takes to maintain, repair upgrade and add things is a lot. To do this is something very few people could accomplish in my opinion. Congratulations on doing such a fine project.
WOW! You two have really worked so hard over the past few weeks, it has been amazing watching the episodes with your up's and downs. But you have both have learnt from the experience. Also knowing when to step back and let the experts do their bit. Well Done! You deserve a holiday after the last few weeks. Relax and Enjoy. Thank you for sharing your experience.
We have growing satisfaction after completing a boat project. Learning how the vessel was engineered builds confidence too I believe. Thank you for detailing the process. Rich from Fernandina Beach, Florida.
First off I love you guys. Your boat has transformed from looking like its scruffy Captain to looking like the pretty curves of its first mate. Congradulations on a wonderful transformation.🤔😎😘
Well done guys. Now you have real pride in the boat cause you done yourself and well done. Looking to your adventuresome as much as you are. AND YOU KNOW THE BOAT that makes things safer too.
Yes! Matt that does mean "muy lindo" ...you guys did amazing and I am so happy I was able to watch it from the beginning...never doubted you and Kristen! Now Kristen can enjoy the beauty of it, as much as you...Muchas bendiciones! blessings!!! from your Puerto Rican clan. =)
Wow.... I can't just click a "Like" without leaving a comment as well. That was amazing to see all that was done to your boat and just how beautiful it turned out. A really awesome job guys.... be proud.
Being back on the water is probably going to feel like time off after that transformation. It definitely looks so much nicer and they found many things to take care of.
Last Saturday we went by the Isleta to see if we could say hello. Got to see the sailboat she looks amazing in person. We figured you guys were not there since the tender was not around. The boat looks great we continue to follow you in TH-cam. Hoping only the best for both of you. Regards Cristina/Ignacio/Paulina.
Hello you two, I just found your channel so I don't know your names yet. But I must say I am really impressed with what you have done to your boat. The video that I watched was the one you had the speed increased. That gave me a good idea what all you were doing. The only part that was not covered very well for me was the for the engine. A nice tour to know where you are at in the overhaul. Good luck. Thanks.
Great job, I am also currently restoring a 23ft sailing boat that had been neglected for 8 years, I got it for free. It is rewarding to see the transformation.
Before the boat was a total POS and you brought it back to life and saved a great boat buy your effort. Thank you for the lovely video! Enjoy your journeys
Totally...... E P I C...... OMG!!!! really! I have owned a 35 ft sailboat since 2001 and I can not even begin to imagine this amount of work. Congrats. You two are amazing!
I binge watched all your videos the last two months from your first to the last video. You 2 are inspirational and kudos on showing your adventures. I myself a Pirate in the making. From 1 sea dog to another; Happy sailing and hopefully our paths will cross. Remember Sailboat Tangent. ⛵️
I know what you mean about forever changed after the boatyard experience. There is something life changing when restoring a boat, an incredible sense of accomplishment along with knowing you have given something a new life and in your case it’s even a home home Reno!
Out-friggin-standing! I almost bought a 37c last month, but they discovered high moisture levels on deck during survey. The shower was my favorite part of the boat. You've come a long way from bailing wire farm fixes. Congratulations on a well earned beautiful boat.
Just binge watched all your episodes of the amazing transformation of your boat. In one of the videos Kristen said something about getting sick of watching, but who could ever get sick of watching her in a bikini? Gorgeous girl and so fun to watch her. I look forward to watching your future adventures. Great job, guys!
Maybe the best sailing video ever. The hard work and love you put into your boat was inspirational to all of us crazy boat owners. You two should be so proud. It’s beautiful work for sure. Congrats and can’t wait for all the rest of the interior work to be completed.
One of your best videos thus far. Your kids will love watching it many years from now. Talking about kids, you guys have so much of yourselves to show them one day! Keep up the good work. You are, without a shadow of a doubt, one of most dear and motivational sailers out there. You're on the top of my list!
That's a well earned pride from hard work and staying at it. I cannot imagine the heat down there on a concrete boat yard! Now, let's see some more awesome sailing/diving video! ; )
I just love watching you, Alan, and your care of the Hillbilly! When you said they got her in the water earlier than they said... I thought, well, that doesn't happen in the Caribbean! Man, that "island time" is a real thing! We also have what we call here on Lookout Mountain, "mountain time." It and "island time" are one in the same! 😂
yes - all those different steps, the coatings, the power wash, the sandings, the various primers and paints...maybe a video explaining what all that was??? Even sell a book or something. Tremendous work and effort, and breathtaking results. Sincere congratulations.
Man that was just dynamite. So cool that you captured it all and were able to splice it together like that. Only 6 weeks? I was guessing a lot longer than that. How rewarding. Gorgeous result. From a beast to a beauty.
Always fantastic to watch couples who work towards a common goal, such a great team not shy of hard work to reape the benefits of a now gorgeous craft well done. You both deserve all the positive credit your audience give you. 💯👏👏👏
Wow, just WOW! You two did some outstanding work and amazingly, equal work. I have never seen a woman able to keep up like your wife and bro, she is a KEEPER! So much work was put into making her seaworthy again and it shows. I don't think the video shows half the prep work you all had to do before painting and finishing. Is there an interior rebuild as well? I'd love to see the before and after for that too. Thanks for sharing and best wishes in your sailing adventures.
You guys are amazing! You stuck with it and did a good job. This is a true test of character and you are the real deal. Good Bad and Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I too have watched every episode of the transformation and what a transformation it is. I know it was a hell of a lot of work, but it has turned out amazing. I know you are proud of the final product and I am proud for you. Congrats.

(You can see her flying it on our fearwidge "channel." )

Also knowing when to step back and let the experts do their bit. Well Done! You deserve a holiday after the last few weeks. Relax and Enjoy. Thank you for sharing your experience.
WOW WOW WOW,GREAT JOB GUYS,THE PAINT CREW DID A BRILLIANT JOB,ALL THE BEST FROM MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA
Geezzz You Guys, This IS looking GOOD !
We have growing satisfaction after completing a boat project. Learning how the vessel was engineered builds confidence too I believe. Thank you for detailing the process. Rich from Fernandina Beach, Florida.
You all worked so hard!!.. and you should take the rest of the year off and go sailing..lol Amazing transformation..congrats !
Every minute of boat restoration is tough work. Great job, amazing finish on your vessel.
First off I love you guys. Your boat has transformed from looking like its scruffy Captain to looking like the pretty curves of its first mate. Congradulations on a wonderful transformation.🤔😎😘
Very poetic, Well put John ! 😎
Well done guys. Now you have real pride in the boat cause you done yourself and well done. Looking to your adventuresome as much as you are. AND YOU KNOW THE BOAT that makes things safer too.

You two are amazing! You always make us laugh! We hope to see you when WE get our boat!
GANSTA!!!! GBU is Pimpin Now! And, YES, I have been with you through all the episodes!!!
It means awesome, personally I feel your 6 week timeframe was outstanding for the quality results you both put in. Happiness and safety out there 👍🗽🇺🇲
Y'all worked your asses off . congratulations on getting it done
I Really hope you’re having a week off after this mate,, you deserve it
No doubt about that that was a lot of work but the results very nice!!!
Being back on the water is probably going to feel like time off after that transformation. It definitely looks so much nicer and they found many things to take care of.
Last Saturday we went by the Isleta to see if we could say hello. Got to see the sailboat she looks amazing in person. We figured you guys were not there since the tender was not around. The boat looks great we continue to follow you in TH-cam. Hoping only the best for both of you.

That was amazing.. Congrats on a beautifully finished job..
What a great job n the decision to have someone spray it was total intelligence . Pretty boat , congrats
Very beautiful 😍👍
Hello you two,
I just found your channel so I don't know your names yet. But I must say I am really impressed with what you have done to your boat. The video that I watched was the one you had the speed increased. That gave me a good idea what all you were doing. The only part that was not covered very well for me was the for the engine. A nice tour to know where you are at in the overhaul.
Good luck. Thanks.
Just huge RESPECT!!!
Can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed your yacht videos guys , amazing effort , so therapeutic to watch 😊❤ god bless you both xx
A refit is where you take all of your money and hard work and throw it in the ocean.
Hehe I see what u did there.
BOAT. Bring Out Another Thousand.
Still worth it to experience the last true freedom
Bankruptcy On A Trailer@@alangurman3961
You deserve a medal alot of hard work went in ,shes looking sharp now
Very cool, now on the the engine room lol
Great job, I am also currently restoring a 23ft sailing boat that had been neglected for 8 years, I got it for free. It is rewarding to see the transformation.
Next Matt is an electric motor installed. Would be perfect for you two.
@About Creativity Tesla battery 100kw battery bank 4 kw of solar and electric motors would be cool
Ma non dire cazzste
Before the boat was a total POS and you brought it back to life and saved a great boat buy your effort. Thank you for the lovely video! Enjoy your journeys
Totally...... E P I C...... OMG!!!! really! I have owned a 35 ft sailboat since 2001 and I can not even begin to imagine this amount of work. Congrats. You two are amazing!
Watched every second. Well done. Just proves what good old fashioned hard work can do. What a lovely boat. Happy sailing
I binge watched all your videos the last two months from your first to the last video. You 2 are inspirational and kudos on showing your adventures. I myself a Pirate in the making. From 1 sea dog to another; Happy sailing and hopefully our paths will cross. Remember Sailboat Tangent. ⛵️
That was an Amazing transformation from a 5k boat to a 80k one!! :) Geez Yeah Awesome Job I really love the colors too! It turn out wonderfully!
I'm extremely impressed that you were able to accomplish all of that for $5k! A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into that! :)
I know what you mean about forever changed after the boatyard experience. There is something life changing when restoring a boat, an incredible sense of accomplishment along with knowing you have given something a new life and in your case it’s even a home home Reno!
You did a great job. Bravo. You inspire so many people all over the world. I wish you happy and wonderful travels.
Out-friggin-standing! I almost bought a 37c last month, but they discovered high moisture levels on deck during survey. The shower was my favorite part of the boat. You've come a long way from bailing wire farm fixes. Congratulations on a well earned beautiful boat.
EVERYONE LOVES A MONTAGE!!! great work guys! you are an inspiration to us DIY'ers. Fair Winds!
It means "Bello" which is the flattering way of saying pretty!! Cool video, and what an amazing transformation. Good Job Guys!!!
Really Beautiful job. Seeing the reflection in the hull put me over the top. Be proud of her.
Unbelievable job! The boat looks fantastic. And the value just went up by a factor of 10.
Just binge watched all your episodes of the amazing transformation of your boat. In one of the videos Kristen said something about getting sick of watching, but who could ever get sick of watching her in a bikini? Gorgeous girl and so fun to watch her. I look forward to watching your future adventures. Great job, guys!
Maybe the best sailing video ever. The hard work and love you put into your boat was inspirational to all of us crazy boat owners. You two should be so proud. It’s beautiful work for sure. Congrats and can’t wait for all the rest of the interior work to be completed.
One of your best videos thus far. Your kids will love watching it many years from now. Talking about kids, you guys have so much of yourselves to show them one day! Keep up the good work. You are, without a shadow of a doubt, one of most dear and motivational sailers out there. You're on the top of my list!
That's a well earned pride from hard work and staying at it. I cannot imagine the heat down there on a concrete boat yard! Now, let's see some more awesome sailing/diving video! ; )
I give this three 👍🏻
I just love watching you, Alan, and your care of the Hillbilly! When you said they got her in the water earlier than they said... I thought, well, that doesn't happen in the Caribbean! Man, that "island time" is a real thing! We also have what we call here on Lookout Mountain, "mountain time." It and "island time" are one in the same! 😂
yes - all those different steps, the coatings, the power wash, the sandings, the various primers and paints...maybe a video explaining what all that was??? Even sell a book or something. Tremendous work and effort, and breathtaking results. Sincere congratulations.
You NEED to be proud of this. Dang, what a beauty! So much hard work, you deserve all the accolades.
Man that was just dynamite. So cool that you captured it all and were able to splice it together like that. Only 6 weeks? I was guessing a lot longer than that. How rewarding. Gorgeous result. From a beast to a beauty.
Always fantastic to watch couples who work towards a common goal, such a great team not shy of hard work to reape the benefits of a now gorgeous craft well done. You both deserve all the positive credit your audience give you. 💯👏👏👏
You two own that boat. You have put so much time and hard work into her. Hang in, sailing soon!
I thought it would be boring, but we really liked it, gives you a feeling of satisfaction to watch, great video!
Wow, just WOW! You two did some outstanding work and amazingly, equal work. I have never seen a woman able to keep up like your wife and bro, she is a KEEPER! So much work was put into making her seaworthy again and it shows. I don't think the video shows half the prep work you all had to do before painting and finishing. Is there an interior rebuild as well? I'd love to see the before and after for that too. Thanks for sharing and best wishes in your sailing adventures.
You guys are amazing! You stuck with it and did a good job. This is a true test of character and you are the real deal. Good Bad and Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I too have watched every episode of the transformation and what a transformation it is. I know it was a hell of a lot of work, but it has turned out amazing. I know you are proud of the final product and I am proud for you. Congrats.
