I find it funny I go to key west for vacation and you come to my neck of the woods for vacation. You two have the best videos!
We are trying with these videos .... LOL Yes we have to go other places for vacation.
Matt, when a customer who owns a 72' luxury Yacht and a private jet (or has the means to lease one on a moments notice) calls you, and could have called anyone in Florida or the country for that matter, that speaks volumes about your reputation and commitment to your customers. It takes work and close oversight of business affairs and your personnel to have and maintain that level of reputation. You accepted the phone call from your customer even while on vacation, not everyone would do this. The interesting thing is as I have watched your channel for many months now, I believe you would behave similarly to the customer with a 20' center console. Again, I have nothing but respect for how your company and its personnel operate and treat people and customers, and I appreciate greatly your willingness to share so much with us here on TH-cam. With great respect... Joe
Thanks sooo much Joe it’s not always easy to share but we are doing our best! Appreciate you watching & sharing!
I am a lifetime marine technician that worked as a yacht captain in my hometown of Naples FL. Saltwater corrosion is insidious.
This job takes an incredible amount of immediate remedies, clean up, replacing, and testing components and systems.
I work at a marina in Ontario now but still have to watch out for the Florida salty boats, lol.
It looks like you guys have a great team and are on top of things!
My adventure at work today as the only tech on duty was a customer pumped 65 liters of gasoine in the bilge of their brand new SeaDoo...
Glad to find your channel and that was an instant subscribe!
Thanks so much for watching Corey! As you know this is a big job … lots to test and fix! We’ll update as we move along!
This is the best boat channel. Nice to meet the people who work on these tubs. I've always liked watching other people work. Done it my whole life. Don't be a slacker
Thanks for the compliment share our channel with your friends! Welcome to the channel that fixes mostly boats but sprinkles in other repairs! Depending on what we have going on. We are looking to start slacking … too much work makes us dull!
Nothing better than coming back from a vacation to a mega shit storm .🤯 No easing back into a routine for you .
You have no idea … it’s a huge job! 🙃
I think you did the customer a great service
That’s always our goal! 👍
You guys have a great channel, I enjoy Matts knowledge!!
Look out he’s definitely dangerous 🤣
That’s an HCB 65’
I love the videos, keep them coming!
Thanks Will appreciate you watching & sharing! Yes that’s the HCB!
The boat at the end of the video is possibly an HCB 65 Estrella? I remember how impressed I was back in the 80's when they were still Hydrasport and I saw their 25 foot with twin 200 Mariner outboards for the first time. The mixer in the wet bar on that Estrella probably has more horsepower than the entire boat I saw way back then did.😆
Yes it is .... its a huge beauty! Thanks for sharing!
Google 85 Hydra Sport Rebuild and check out my 25 hydra sport I’m completely rebuilding
@@stevewakefield6034 looks like a project 😆 we just bought a Polar Bay 1910 to rebuild! Actually we just moved it to our office today cause we’ve kept it a secret from our guys they’ll see it on Monday!
6 engine's at $80,000 each.
2.5 million is probably a low guess for the boat.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Hey Bill thanks for watching & sharing … probably a pretty close guess! Waving from Key West!
@willfixthat who makes it? I want to check out some videos on it. Thank you
@@davidfeeman6094 looks like a private group HCB = Hydra-Sports Custom Boats. HCB Yachts.
That's going to be alot of cleanup and repairs
Yes John mentioned it to you a few days back! We are getting others to help us so we can get him back on the water quicker. We’ll cover those details as we move forward!
This was an exciting day as you can imagine .... what would you have done differently? How much do you think this is going to cost? We are gathering estimates currently!
Karriann got that dreaded text message saying "Our Boat is Sinking" Of course Matt was on vacation! 😭 We can't make this stuff up!
Horsepower horsepower horsepower and goes really fast and cost a lot is my answer.
Crazy right …. Someone said it cost $5.5million if that’s true 😳
You did everything you could do so you were right to just come back the next day. How do you feel about running a tee off the generator water intake so you can use it to help pump out water?
We already have those fittings on the main engines. Generator hoses are too small.
Having a good team in place that you trust is key. You did the right thing. Talk them off the edge and just to let them know it will be taken care of. Good hustle by team for sure...
Thank Joe … a good team is extremely helpful!
How did or does the packing come loose? Could that have been prevented?
The whole assembly fell off the stern tube … still being investigated!
I wonder what his fuel burn is per hour!😮
Its most fuel-efficient speed is 40 mph, when it burns 148 gallons per hour.
With sea water inclusion..nothing will be the same..it will always be "something"! So many boaters dream of a boat on the water..but, alot of lost dreams.
There’s some truth to that statement! Thanks for sharing 😎
1st step take a breath
Then relax, assess the situation
Make phone calls
Then hit the hard running
Thank you sooo much that’s what we did even though we were miles apart and I’m not a mechanic! We always say TEAM Us!
There is no I in team
@@lb7wade518 exactly!
Definitely would have taken the private jet back.
Lol sounded good right but didn’t make sense to have client pay since he was returning the next day …. Plus I think I did a great job considering he was away! 👍
Ditto
It shows he respects his clients even when the client offers to waste money!
@@shawnl3151 we love 💕 our clients many been with us a long time! We don’t want anyone wasting money if not necessary…
@@paulthompson1216 thanks Paul!
Finnish my vacation.
Not sure what you mean?
HCB 65’ Estrella. $5.500,000
Is that for realz?
what’s the biggest size yacht you ever work with ?
200ft this video is coming soon besides that was 180ft a few years ago!
I would have done exactly what you did. Unfortunately, many with the means to do try to place undue influence on others, but my guess you know all about that.
Thanks for vote of confidence Paul! Appreciate you sharing 🤩
HCB 3 million😊
You to got right!
Buy a big bucket of play doh. Plastasine fill the holes😲😲😲😲🤣🤣love ur channel, great presentation, thanks for sharing 🇦🇺how come u didn't take ur wife on vacation with U??
We are actually lucky this beauty doesn't have any holes except the shaft compared to some of our other boats! Thanks for watching "we can't make this sheet up"! I didn't want to go with him he was doing man stuff like getting ready for hunting in the fall. I wasn't interested and said I'd stay home in case... and look what happened!
@@WillFixThat oh yeah, I get that, I'd stay home too, lucky U were home. Thanks for replying.👍
@@seawench555 I was glad I was home cause it really did help us more than what we know …. cause at least I could see & tell and get our guys rinsing asap! We are a team! Appreciate you watching & sharing!
How do you do that?
Yes it happens unfortunately … the dripless coupling popped off the stern tube!
HCB yachts and 2-3 million
Those HCB yachts are beautiful center console’s! 👍
I agree with @lesb3481 possibly an HCB 65 Estrella, nearly $500k just in outboards, easily could cost $3.5M. That is a beautiful rig.
Agree completely 👍
Why cant they put a emergency pump in those bilges for a situation such as theirs??
The Coast Guard did and actually they used 2 pumps!
Hey Chief, you'd look more natural if you had a coffee cup in your hand barking orders. You handled the situation like the professional you are, that Navy career really comes in handy some times. Good luck, js usmc 71-79
We did our best handling the situation… not really knowing at first what the issue was! Our Navy training has definitely come in handy thru the years! Thanks for your service Joe!
You're a business owner, you are not tied to a pager 24/7. Yacht owners have deep enough pockets, I'm sure they can hire a full time engineer to maintain their floating condos.
Yes many don’t hire engineers… nope try not to be tied to my phone! But, some customers do get a little bit of preferential treatment!
@@WillFixThat absolutely! Nothing against the owner for trying to get you home early!
@@stuckcamping for sure! We’ve been blessed to be working on his boats for like 7 years!
Hasn’t anyone invented a high output type system to dump water when this happens?
@@stephenscott963 yes groco & some boat manufacturers put/have a 3 way valve that is off, normal & emergency! In the emergency position it will suck water out of the engine room.
I haven't been a boater all that long but a leaky shaft seal shouldn't sink a boat. Leak yes but sink no. Who installs a shaft seal unit that can sink a boat?
Sorry it’s still in the investigation phase! This is NOT work we did! We’ve never touched the shaft seals & believe it or not they are not easy to get too either 🥴! Something was faulty & unfortunately it broke loose!
@@WillFixThat Thanks for the reply. I'm sure the lawyers will enjoy this one.
@@deborahbaty3369 not sure about attorney’s enjoying it! Thanks for watching appreciate you sharing!
Toast
Not really toast but does need us to fix it! It’s a big job for sure … we’ll post updates as we move along with the progress!
HBC $3.5 million
You’re probably pretty close! She should be returning home in the next couple months after being re-done!
Well there is 500k in just motors there and at least a mill for the boat so 1.9 mil after tax lol
These big parts add up fast! 🤣
