- We removed the old dirty wallpaper from the galley and added a fresh coat of paint in our 1978 Uniflite motor yacht. We also answer some of your most asked questions so far!

Arrrgggghhh! I was the guy who put that wallpaper on there! It was more fun putting it on than taking it off, I can see. Knowing what it took to hang the paper, you're smart to just paint it... Now just slog some Watco teak oil on the trim, sand with wet/dry paper and it will look brand spankin' new!
This is a great boat for your purposes. She will take you where you want to go safely and quickly for a boat of this size. You can easily cruise to the south Sound for a weekend and not burn too much fuel doing so. I know the cruising speed is listed at around 15 knots but you may find a fuel efficient sweet spot at a lower speed. The hull design is such that this boat can go slow or fast comfortably so the choice is yours. Enjoy it all you can!
Thank You for your service in the military !
“Time Out” or Time Off. Just food for thought.
Really interesting backstory thank you for sharing explains alot really enjoying these episodes please make more.👍👍🙏🇬🇧
Love it you two. I would LOVE to do this someday. Watching you work out there on the peninsula remind me when I used to work around there and the San Juans. If you guys are ever looking for work, my company has a large cyber security department and we have an office in Lynnwood. Send me a message if you're ever interested. Keep living the dream on that boat, looking forward to seeing it "finished"...never finished ;).
Hey guys. Thanks so much for the intro and background info. Very interesting. You are doing a Stella job. Awesome!! John Sydney. Australia
I was stationed in Everett on the Lincoln 05-09 Weapons Department. Loved the area out there, awesome channel keep up the great work.😎👍🏻🇺🇲
Thanks for the update on your backgrounds. Really added a lot of context to this wonderful series. As far as a boat name goes.......maybe the name of your fantastic cat!? (Love that cat!)
Thank you for your service
SV- PHOENIX MAY BE A NICE NAME. CAUSE IT IS BASICALLY BEING REBORN. AND I REALLY LOVE YALLS CHANNEL!!
Hi i just finished watching all your videos within 2 days and finally glad i caught up since you guy’s were both in the navy id name the boat sailor moon lol
I grew up as a young boy into late teens on a 50 foot, Chris Craft Constellation, mahogany and teak decks. Everything needed refinishing inside and outside and the engines. I learned so much and then when it was ready I learned to Captain the boat. 20 tons, 20 feet tall with the bridge and a huge presence in the water. I loved everything about it. Watching you guys brings back all those moments. Thank you
I've just found you guys and i watched all your video's in one go very cool thanks.
Thank you for watching, we appreciate you!
Your welcome
Great video
Like a lot of us here are saying, you guys are living our dream!! As a teenager, I helped my dad refurbish a boat years ago so I know the joy in just refinishing a piece of wood trim! 🙂 The boat is looking great and, IMO, you guys are taking the right approach in not making everything perfect but making it look great and functional. I might add on suggestion is to make sure you get your cables and wires dressed up a bit and don't hesitate to replace them as needed. They will be more reliable and help prevent problems down the road. In general, anything having to do with mechanical or electrical systems is worth putting some money into. Great job! Keep it up!
Amazing work. Congrats to you both. Here's a random name suggestion for your boat (it might not work).... "PAL AND ROAM" because the big word "PALLINDROME" by definition (Webster's) is any word that's spelled exactly the same both forwards and backwards.......for example....HANNAH. I dunno, we just want to congratulate you both again, sir/ma'am. Thanks for sharing your experience and have a great day!
Nice job excited to keep watching
I have spent 50yrs refurbishing some 15 boats. I retired from Industry and Working underwater. I enjoy watching you folks conquer the challenges. Keep up the good work and more presentations-------Mikey, in Belfair
it awesome to see yall working on boat n living on boat
i never have live on boat at all i normal live in tiny house like bus or long vehicles
i just love watching anyone video that about boat or more to it
im engineers i could give you more information on boat if you want it
(you said want heater in boat) seen be easy run it on engine cooling like two small hose attached lower to upper just remove them two n run it to the radiators and fan n when you start engine up wait for it warm up it will flow hot water to radiator so fan suck in cold to radiator n heat air come out
i have done this twice on friends boat because he got tire of electric issues been on going in boat that cant handle 30 amp heater so i have helped him out so he was satisfied with design i build for him in his boat n he been long gone havent seen him in almost 4 or 6 years only words i hear from him say moving to Illinois that was all
only need two set of long hose n radiator n 12v fan or you could run 120v fan it upto you n radiator n smaller one be on honda car in 90s or taller one be in ranger 90s n few adapter n make sure engine have thermostat so that way u can run heater hose to it if doesnt them going have make adapter for it which take welder n few other
hope you two enjoying happy life on boat
Great stuff! fascinating blend of careers and hobbies ❤
Yall are my new favorite boating channel to binge watch. You've given me some great ideas. A little about me: Im a Navy brat, I worked in Hollywood all through the 90's, moved to a small town in GA in 2001, was a repoman for 18 years, now I work for one of the largest new boat dealers in the south. Where I get to play with new boats for a living. Life Is Good! Keep Rockin' Yall
Nice one!
You guys make a great team! God Bless yous both! Ahoy there mate! Jobs well done.❤😊
Great video. It answered so many of my questions. I've done a similar project, but with a much newer boat in pretty decent condition. But I made everything on mine like new condition. Mine was a 44' pilothouse. Previously, I rented a boat (similar to yours) and sailed the San Juan Islands. Your area is the best place to own a small yacht on the west coast.
I'm a older man 👴 but I love watching yalls channel, no one can say that you 2 or scared of hard work to make something your. The one thing ya'll can look at is even though it's a lot of work when ya'll finish ya'll will know every part of the boat and how it works 💪 👷♂️ 🤷
You two are living my dream. Hannah, you remind me of my daughter, and she is a lot like you, smart, beautiful & a go getter. You two are great, keep those cameras rolling :)
Aww, thank you!
You sound like a stalker
I think "seeking seas" would be a very appropriate name.
Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your videos. I kept checking every day to see if you had put out a new video. You guys are great! I enjoy you bringing an old beauty back to life. Please never stop, I know I'm not the only one who looks forward to your videos. They're great!!! Keep it up!! PLEASE
Thank you! We will keep working to bring this boat back to life 😄
I love that you guys work together and share the good and bad jobs.. i never had that. I had a 30ft Trojan flybridge. I had some awesome TH-cam content on but my ex cancelled my TH-cam account and it's all gone. I now don't have her but i do have a very pretty 26 ft Rollins built deadrise workboat.
I would suggest naming the boat "Seeking Seas" of course "Snicklefritz" is good also.
The girl is amazing
I'm an old IT guy as well with interest in boats. Your attitudes and the amount of work you're putting into the boat are both very inspirational. The videos are well done and relatable though I think you have way more energy than I do... Thanks for sharing your journey. Please keep it up!
Dale, glad we could provide some inspiration. That's one of the main reasons we're documenting this journey. Thank you for watching. IT guys help the world go 'round
Massive improvement in the galley. The wood really pops now and that wallpaper would have made field day a royal pain.
I have been messing with old boats for most of my 53 years. Your videos are so well done my back hurts just watching. I’m a big TH-cam viewer and your filming and editing is very good. It’s been very cool to watch your channel grow, keep it up and thanks for the entertainment.
As for a name suggestion " Foxy Lady " or " Security Now " (work or play ha ha!)
Haha thanks Al!
Awesome! Your tattoos make way more sense now!
holy , i just binge watch every episode in 1 sitting. Crap no more episodes nooooo. I love it. Please upload more ^^ I love the dynamics and the editing and really love the progress. Subbed
wow i owed a 1970 31 foot uniflight after my 20 foot in the north east gulf of Maine
Hey guys, Lemon Twist is the name of a soft drink in South Africa. Enjoying the show.Thank you
Good to know, thanks!
Keep up the good work. You are a fun couple to follow on you tube . Love the "who farted" routine
Who could not love Lemon Twist! I think you could have fake lemons or a bunch of quirky things. Fun conversational items. Oh Yes Lemon Twist! Love the videos!
We even found traces of yellow paint under the current layer of white on the topside.. I can only imagine it was named after that, we're not a fan though haha
I've had great luck with marinaire hvac. They heat and a/c in quite a compact unit. They do not put heat out when sea water goes below 34 degrees. Eberspacher also makes good heaters but some models seem to be quite problematic
My wife and i grew up in the Puget Sound area. I am enjoying your videos. i am really amazed that you don't have more evidence of damage from windows leaking after all those years.
We got lucky on some of this stuff for sure, thanks for watching.
Nice work. It will be beautiful when complete. For a name, the boat is going to be completely redone....I am thinking “Do Over”. Good luck. Keep motivated. And....Go Navy.
I'm just done watching all your videos in one setting, great work! Also very nice to have this q&a to get to know your backgrounds a bit better. Subscribed!
My friend had a boat very similar to this and I really miss it. Great space and I can see why the last guy used it as a live aboard.
This boat does have a lot of room, we have been loving it so far.
The more I see your videos the more I realize we have a lot in common. I'm an engineer for Fortinet (being in Cyber security you probably know the company) and I'm an ex Navy too. Owned sailboat and my 47 Lien Hwa is my first powerboat. I hope to meet you guys sometime either up north or here in Southern California.
So she makes all the bread good job on landing a diver mammmma 👍
G’Day from Australia 😁
I’m loving watching the transformation of this old boat. As a fellow yachtie, I understand why you undertook the journey, I’m a little jealous. What an awesome team you make!
Thank you for the kind words.
I also work in technology, so great to see my people achieving great practical things 😊👍🏼
Great video look forward to many more to come and can't wait to see to see you guys having fun adventures out on the water exploring👍👍👍👍
Hopefully it won't be too much longer before we can get out there!
Just found your channel, great boat. I have a 1971 Hatteras which I recently restored, and also would not trade for any other boats. Modern boats are simply floating luxury rooms, not actual boats which can handle the weather. Good luck to you both on you adventure. Looking forward to your next video.
Great to get to know you, thanks for sharing. Love the series
Just found your channel and have been binge watching your episodes. I love that you two arent afraid of hard work and are reaping the rewards of it. Obviously alot of money goes into these projects but the labor is what really takes a toll. Its not for the faint of heart for sure. Looking forward to watching your progress and being able to enjoy your cruising this summer.
Thank you for watching, it definitely has been an adventure thus far and we're looking forward to all of our work eventually paying off with some hard earned cruising. There is quite a bit of money going out to fix things but not near as much as if we paid someone to do it.
@@SeekingSeas theres definately no way around the mo ey part of it but at least this way you get to know every inch of your boat and that can be a godsend in an emergency situation, plus just the satisfaction you get from it is priceless. Keep up the good work.
I love the Name SEEKING SEAS!!! Keep up the amazing video’s you guys are DOING AN AWESOME JOB !!!! Thank you for sharing
They seem to be a nice couple, I wish them well.
Thank you!
Great color choice. No more gray :-)
I think you made a good choice, mainly because this boat makes your channel relatable to many people. I also am in IT also into boats and doing restorations. I enjoy watching your channel and look forward to your adventures once you get out on the water more.
We had no idea how many other tech people were watching. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks!
I have owned 4 yachts and currently have a 45' Californian....i totally know the pain you 2 are going through! You all are doing an amazing job! Good luck and God bless you two on all your adventures!!!
Looks amazing guys,great job. Good luck on your future adventures
Absolutely love your videos and it’s been so awesome to see the journey. Techie guy here at Microsoft; my wife and I found our way into boating as a way to decompress from the “tech work week”! Nothing better then on the water with friends and family!
Name suggestion: Jiji. That's the black cat from the beautiful Studio Ghibli movie 'Kiki's Delivery Service', and Crawley reminds me of her so much! The eyes, antics, attitude, everything! :)
That's a great suggestion.
I knew it... when I saw you guys making logical decisions, breaking down problems, formulating plans and getting things done I felt like your were both fellow nerds. Throw in the obvious military discipline and it was pretty obvious. I didn't have you guys pegged for cyber security mainly because I'm so old I forget that's a thing. Really glad that boat found you guys because it needed your skill sets and determination.
Thank you for the kind words, it's strange how things just seem to fall into your lap sometimes, and this boat was one of those. We hope our work can help motivate other people to take the leap and follow a dream. None of us has enough time on this earth to not make the most of it.
You should post more often, always waiting for the new videos
Maybe some day if we didn't have our full time jobs. We'd love to do this more. Thanks for watching!
Major props for all that you have completed….. enjoying your story
You both make a great team, and the boat is coming along really well! Great work on not just this massive project, but the video content. Thanks for bringing us along!
Name the boat seeking seas
The galley upgrades look really nice, fantastic job!
Another great video. Will be following your adventures.
I was happy to find your channel and I have enjoying all your videos my family and I just love watching the your next steps on the journey. Thank you both for bring us along for the adventure. I’m a tile man by trade so let me know if you need help with any tile information, I’m happy to help. I have lots of thoughts for a name. However the name for your boat should reflect the importance of what is happening in your lives and something that will define your life style. Much success and keep up the great work. From my family to yours many blessings. Rikky and family
So great to hear from you Rik and family. Thank you for the encouragement!
The 671's are good engines and have been known to go 20,000. Hrs without a rebuild but most get a rebuild around 12 to 15K. The turbos are not as durable as the natural but they are still good. The great thing about them is there are so many out in the world you can get parts , they are also 2 strokes witch is very rare in the diesel world. I rebuilt a 1979 tolly and my father in law had the 42 Uniflight from new. Its fun to watch you go through some of the things I went through with my Tolly. To really do some great cruising you will have to get the motors and gen set cleaned up and running well so you have fun on the water and not have mechanical problems when you go out. I think you said you are putting flooring down, just keep in mind that if you do carpet with a pad that has a high level of sound proofing your interior noise level will be much lower when cruising than hard flooring.
That's great to know about the engines. We are wanting to get the noise down as much as possible but have been little leary of carpeting. We'll figure something out, perhaps soundproofing in the engine room. Thank for the sound advice.
Best part of a boat is working on it together
You two are doing a great job. Did a good job on your cusions
It’s come along way , can’t wait to see the finished product !!!
Oh wow that paint did brighten it up in there looks great!
I suggest MV Escape 😏
Hope the channel grows and you can make the transition away from cyber security all that time staring at screens may be descent money but long term not an ideal way to live, so fingers crossed you'll get to this full time for a living and have a far better quality of life I'm rooting for ya all.
Yeah its very stressful! We both love what we do but enjoy the time away where we can just do boat projects and be on the water.
So excited to see the new episode notification pop up today! Cant wait to see what else you do!
New subscriber after finding and binging on your earlier videos - enjoying the content and your vibe. Your videos are well put together - cheers from NZ
Jesse it was lovely to hear more from you in this video , still watching still enjoying ,great t have the q & a segment ,wow what a difference to the wall and lovely colour , everything you do I find interesting 🤨 Hannah great job on the content take care look after Crowley 🥰
Thanks for the kind words Paul, we really appreciate all the support.
Thanks guys! I enjoy watching yalls progress and journey.
Name the boat journey because i have watched u guys build a good one
Greetings from France. you guys are so honest and real. i appreciate your channel so much. my son and wife live in Friday Harbor. If you need hardware supplies and wood, ask for Andrew Lewis at Brown's Home Center in Friday Harbor. As for a name for your boat: I like "Breach !"
Thanks for the kind words and for the contact at Brown's.
A good name for the boat is the money pit
Great job guys, there's always lots of hard work when working on these boats, but at the same time it's very rewarding and you do become attached to the boat the more you work on it
Great job and you are great people. Keep the videos coming
I love your adventure! Great work you’re doing!
Enjoying the videos I wish you luck with the boat looks a nice boat A very nice project
Loved the quick Q&A
What's about "ZeroDay Explorer" 😁
So you may work from boat 😅
Looks beautiful
Great color! We had a 3607 Carver aft. cabin that has a similar look to yours. It's fun watching your DIY adventure.
Hi from the uk. I love watching your progress. I like the smooth paint better as well. I started watching ship happens on TH-cam and from there… have found all sorts of interesting boat channels :)
Nice work.
Hi Guys, I think it's so Great that you guys can do so much of the work yourselves. That's my biggest fear about buying a boat 🚢. Stay Safe ‼️ 🙂
It is challenging and we make mistakes, but worth it!
That’s awesome looks like a lot of fun as well
Keep up the great work. Just found your channel last night and will be following your dreams😎 I boat on Long Island and bought a 31’ trawler a few years back and have been working out the bugs for the past few years. But that’s boat life. Always something to do. Enjoy your time on the water as there is nothing else like it.
Thank you, and good luck with yours!
Very cool backgrounds. Congrats on you both. I see friends all the time on Whidbey, I can say they have a couple places you can take your boat, and either dock or take a small dingy and enjoy local cuisine and some decent people, Langly, Freeland. But there are very cool places to explore as I know you are both aware of in our Puget Sound. Wishing you both happy sailing and yachting!!
Not to burst any ones bubble but i have painted over wall paper and it comes out great!
Cheers.
We ended up doing that in the aft head, and it came out great. We wish we would have done that everywhere else!
Just found your channel, thumbs up.
Keep up the good work.
Name for your boat, could be anything other than
“SecNav” ?😏
Great job!
Well You could do some Canada travels. Do the inside passage.
That's a great idea, its on our list now.
