Matt, you need to take that phone away from Kristen!! I see you working like a mad dog and in the background, there's Kristen just texting away! These projects would go twice as fast if your helper stayed engaged. LOL! It's really looking good. I had my doubts but you are starting to pull it off and thanks for not cutting out the mistakes. I think we all like to know what not to do and it keeps you site real. Keep up the good work. Pau and Linda s/v The Friendly Confines
It's starting to come together and looking very, very good. Y'all are knocking it out of the park and definitely improving your skills as well as your home on the water. I don't understand how someone can talk bad about anything you're doing when all they're doing is watching someone else get it done and living the dream. Y'all got this as you show with every video and the haters can go jump in a lake because it sure won't be the ocean with their attitudes. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
This right here is my Sailing GBU!!!!!! This is what brought me here. Im so glad for the two of you to see you back swimming, grilling and hopefully soon to be sailing. Matt thanks for that “ no engine” explanation. Matt you have a great memory taking that stuff out and always able to put it back where it belongs! I have a memory like a steel trap! Rusty and illegal in 42 states!!! Hahaha Stay the course my friends!!
Place your emergency knife on the inside of your leg as they are very prone to catching on fishing line! I am a Master diver - when diving popular areas I dive with three emergency knifes... Yes - I have been tangled in fishing line. One 8" inside calf, one 6" upper right, one 4" lower left arm.
Skisafe insurance insured my 1974 37ft Ranger with no hassle about 4 or 5 months ago, when others wouldn't touch it. 300k liability for a year at about 500 per year.
Wildlings Sailing (older catamaran) removed and reinstalled their engine from dockside with no crane but they had one extra guy (father) to help. It is possible but not easy. (Episodes 175 and 185) First start looking for a strong friend who knows something about engines! Keep the faith guys! Good luck.
Two by fours , 4 pieces of 6 foot ,2 pieces of 3 foot and 2 pieces of 3 foot then make like letter A two suports and a bridge , so you can hang the engine with a chain and slowly let it down to the engine bay ! A---A
Matt you could DIY float the stern high enough for the propeller and shaft to come out higher then the water line like one of those in the water inflatable dry docks. 👈😍👍 We've used 50 gal drums held in a cradle with padding ratchet strapped forward to the boat again with air bags and even used 2 blow up plat forms.
Matt, if you can get the engine onto the dock , you can use your Main halyard to lift it onto the boat. Also I've seen folks put their engine on a platform with wheels under it and roll it across a gangplank from the dock to the boat. You can install the engine with the boat in the water. Just have to get creative. You are the master of creative. Cheers! ♡ Love you guys.
You guys are the reason I got my boating license. I binge watch your videos. Thank you! A dream without action is just a dream. First step: Boat license! ✅
You should both be proud of what you are doing, and ignore anybody who just is negative about anything you are doing. I absolutely love Kristens enthusiasm and Matts bad jokes, whenever I am feeling down all I need is to watch any of your videos but always the latest ones so keep up the great work and keep enjoying some down time like the beach barbecue and snorkel. Can't wait to see you sailing again as well.
Lifted engines out and in while afloat, the biggest was the Yanmar 3 cylinder with gearbox into a 30ft yacht, using the boom to the cockpit and scaffold tube on 4 x 2 wood rails and a chain block from cockpit to engine mounts. As others have said getting the stern of an engineless boat clear of the water is not difficult. Load of weight on the foredeck , a couple of barrels underneath too, if necessary. Cleared a prop once with the people from the marina club on the foredeck, and the engine was insitu. The prop came well clear of the water. You've really got the hang of the laminate now fantastic
Lowdy lowdy Larry Laminatoe, youz a fortunate Man, I hope you understand what wonderful Significant Other you have! Cherish that like a millon bucks, because a precious Lady like the one you snatched up only comes around once in a lifetime. Prayers of Good Health, Peace, Love and Happiness for you both!
Did you know that there is a Laminate Roller that you should really use when you are doing the adhesion step. It will make sure that your seams even out and that all areas of the laminate make positive contact with the area (wall) you are applying the laminate to. Hoping that it doesn't bubble or fast flex and crack when you start sailing. Good Luck.
Can't believe how this channel has grown... Great job guys. Those router bits are a great add. Find you a good Cutler in your area. The bits will get dull, and you really need to keep them sharp. Trust me, it makes a big difference. Keep up you great job.
Guys I’m in Tarpon Springs, but I lived in Jupiter fie 30 yrs. I’m moving onto a trawler single engine. My brother is a master boat surveyor,east coast of USA. This is his show for me!! Anyway guys you need parts I’m your Genie, hand to God I’ll find it ,n ship it to you no Brno!! I’m a treasure Hunter when it comes to boat parts!!! 🤙🏻❤️😘
Hi there, I have spent some time working with boats, rv’s, housing, and the trim in our rv and some furniture I have seen is a “T” shaped piece of rubber/plastic that comes in rolls in different widths and Color’s and the foot of the T is barbed to fit into a slot in the top of a table edge, wall edge, counter top edge. Slot is routered into the centre of the edge along the length and the edging is tapped in with a rubber mallet. I have a bunch of old banquet table tops that have exactly what you are looking for on them. You guys are fun, witty and hard working. Don’t let anyone ever rain on your parade. Best wishes, Nick and Kathi from Canada
On your boom mark a spot on the boom above your engine. Now get the new engine on your dock next to the boat, swing your boom out over the engine, position the engine below the mark you made on the boom. Take your topping lift down to the boom right above the engine and wrap it around the boom 2-3 times and secure it. Attach a chain hoist to these wraps at this point and you are set to install or remove the your engine. By using your topping lift in this manner what you have done is made a jib crane, the load will be placed on the topping lift and not your boom. Take your topping lift to one of your winches and hoist the engine and boom up over your companion way and use the chain hoist to lower it.
Hey Matt. Dang Matt, just dang? You kids get my vote, you are the most tenacious workers, and cheerful, I don't want to blow your head up, but "Dang", I'm impressed, you've got a plan, you stick to the plan, work the plan, get the job done and maintain a wonderfully sweet and cordial attitude, you two are just a delight to watch... Cheers Mate and of course the indominable Missy Krissy, Cheers to ya!
Man !! You two really are doing a great job at the lamonanza!! DITTO, Glen Roberts "This right here is my Sailing GBU!!!!!! This is what brought me here." I'm so glad the two of you will see you back swimming, grilling, and hopefully soon sailing. And, speaking of swimming, Kristen hasn't lost it one bit !!! ✨⛵⚓🌊🌴👙🌞✨
You guys are doing awesome work. For DIY, you're killing it! I hope you're enjoying the fruits of your labor. I'm enjoying following your journey. Keep it up!
Kristen, when you said, "first part of the wall done, and looks good. (Looks at Matt) how do you feel?" I SO expected Matt to be a smart-ass, and say, "with my fingers!" But he was classy, and didn't close that door you opened!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A plastic tubing or rubber tubing split down the length would make a nice trim in the shower area. Love the videos and thank you for sharing with all of us.
From Australia. It's Friday here and I don't usually get you until Monday Morning or Afternoon, so I'm one happy little vegemite. Great to see both you and Kirsten having some time together doing fun stuff 👍. Boat Insurance here in Aus is ridiculously hard to get first up and expensive as hell. Take care, enjoy life and just keep plugging along, it will all work out for the best. LMAO Hyped or just drunk on the Glue Fumes. There is a rubber moulding/extrusion company close to me that does rubber edging up to 30 metre lengths so shouldn't be hard to find someone near you or on Amazon or the States.
Matt and Kristen, I have just a few things that I need to tell you both. First.. I just love you both and second.. you both are doing such a great job! Your yacht is looking so beautiful. Your gonna just love it. And....Matt, get insurance and take a video your completed yacht in case something were to happen. God forbid. It's basically a new sailing yacht now that you have redone most of it and you want to cover your butts, just in case. Love it guys!! See you in the next video. Love n hugs! 💕🤗 Regards, Myk
Matt, There are no walls on your boat. You do have bulkheads, cabin sides, overheads and hull. The boards you installed in the fore-cabin are called sealing
It is so so helpfully no joke when your down workn to have someone just to pass the knife. Doing laminate sucks and never feels like it goes to plan, but then looks OK. Well done
If you don’t find a roll of what you found the 4ft sections of, you can always use “hose” and just make a cut lengthwise. Depending on where you are and what you have access to, they make it in different colors and different materials from rubber to plastic. Even neoprene but it’s probably only in black. Check out the hardware stores, they’re cheaper than the Marine stores and have more options for things like this and sometimes even rope.... Good Luck! The bathroom looks like a new boat! Really!
Matt, on the engine room area, set it up so all the filters are easy to get at, make sure can have plenty of room to get to sea-cock valve and prop shaft seal from inside.
Good morning Skippers happy to see you posted early this week my personal opinion/experience is put the motor in at the wall/doc better than hauling the boat out and lifting the motor up to the boat then down into the engine compartment I'm just saying installed over six Motors four of them at the Boston Fish Pier the trick is a cherry picker is the key makes things much much easier but a forklift with a chain fall is almost as simple God bless Fairwinds following Seas the boats looking great good job a lot of work most people just talk about it and make it sound easy 2/3 of the boat is out of the water and that's the hard part!⚓💪🙏💙🐟💯
What would make that really easy with a forklift is Fork extenders then you could pretty much put the motor right over the Box straight down into the hole! That would be my main concern is getting your vessel powered up the shaft tube you can do in a hall out from the stern bearing! I saw in one of your videos that your stuffing box was off I believe when they assemble that boat they went from the motor to the coupler then the stuffing box and that's just the way she laid meaning shaft tube tube! My last boat was a 43 with in 18.6 length shaft! So proper procedure you cut your hole in your shaft log install your Stern bearing / Cutlass bring your shaft all the way forward and then install your motor to the square shaft just saying maybe some of these things can save you a couple of moves that you will figure I'm not needed the beautiful thing is you have a little tiny shaft and Tiny Chef too so you don't have to deal with multiple feet it's a short run God bless great job I love it! Now back down the engine room installing new lift pump on my Ford Lehman in Biscayne Bay just another beautiful day🙏💯⚓
Matt, paper is nice to use, but a lot of times you can find free cardboard boxes in big store trash,,, like WalMart and Sam’s Clubs. You can do your layouts for cutting with cardboard sometimes easier.
What a team! I hope you are proud of yourselves because you did an amazing job. Most people might have thrown in the towel, you persevered. I was pleased to see you take a break and do a little diving and poking around, not sure the last time you had a video of doing that. Catch you next week!
you have worked very well, and what is wonderful to see is that you have taken the advice that the comments have given you, ...!! The work is clean, well done, done the same as people who know the job...! Congratulations for the impeccable veneer, it's not easy to achieve, but it's great... Congratulations to you both, as well as the Video and translation, for French people like me who have trouble with the 'English...!! thank you for this video!
Super happy for you two . Walk don't run , that laminate is sharp . Have the scares to prove it . We need insurance just to be on a morring ball . It's pretty adorable , got to have it though
The boat looks fantastic. Two real people learn as they go and doing a fantastic job and you take care of each other and that is obvious and that is absolutely wonderful keep it going. I am building my man cave and copperopolis California I have never built a house in my life but I have always dreamed about building a house. My family thinks I'm crazy and is constantly trying to take control of my build. It's the worst time to try to do it because of covid and the price of lumber but I will get it done in spite of all the naysayers I know how you feel when people say you can't do something but they're all crazy if you look long enough and you chip things out long enough and you ask enough questions you can do anything the boat looks fantastic I can see you guys so not for bucks up and buying a catamaran that's all messed up and rebuilding it from day one you could do it hope your channel gets so huge that you get to do that if you are so inclined again best damn show about sailing on TH-cam
Hey y'all. My boat is 50 years old. I use progressive ins. I had to get it for a marina also. They only needed my p.o.box for address and are cheap. So far so good. They don't seem to care about boat age for liability insurance Have a great day
As a suggestion for the doorway edges u could glue and tack on half round wood trim on the edge or end of the wall 45 degree mittered corners etc it could be stained to match the color of the paneling that could be done by a shop so all u had to do would be stain and attach it easy for u and quick it would give it a doorway trim look
Looking good. Amazing what you guys have accomplished with limited tools and materials. Matt would be dangerous if he had a full woodshop to work out of ! Kristen is a good supervisor . Happy sailing.
You're lucky the marina doesn't require insurance just to stay at the dock ! Loyd's of London will insure anything ! After you get the boat finished , get a survey ! It will help you get insurance !
I've not checked in all y'all in a week or so. Good to see its' all coming along great. Matt' The Man! Kirsten sounding all "Supervisor Sally" with "back to work", LOL. Looking good, 2 vids this week, nice. Howdy from Hot Ass Texas!
You are going to have to start calling it your five thousand dollar boat PLUS shipping and handling. Beautiful results guys. I can see a little Parrothead decor and some Margaritaville in the near future.
Wishing I was thousands of miles closer because I have this beautiful, 6 inch wide, rubber roller, brayer tool that I bought 2 years ago and haven’t used one single time yet. It would have been great to help out and get some use out of it. Keep up the good work and attitudes! Praying for a speedy completion, lol.
You guys need to look into getting Lycra body suits. They give some protection from sunburn, keep fire corals away from skin and prevent skin abrasions from happening from all kids of owie stuff. Keeps jellyfish tentacles from skin contact too. Can be found online or visit a good dive shop.
I’m probably going to be way too late,but when I make bathroom stalls for public restrooms,I just use the same laminate. Both sides and the center( referring to where you were asking about “U” type trim. )Just glue it on and router the excess like the sides.
More win win win. thumbs up and fun to come with the engine install. I saw a few things around your area that could lift the stern high enough to get the prop shaft out of the water long enough to do the work. I did a stuffing box and complete bearing with shaft tube and reglassing it into place by use of inner tubes to float it out of the water using some nets to contain the innertubes and backing my boat between two piles with wenches and timed high tide and low tide work.. I made a jig and screwed it into place to get correct shaft angle to match engine.and where shaft housing placement topped out. This is just food for thought. Have a fun time...
Nice Job guys, your hard work in coming all together, you will be sailing again soon. You both have been working hard, so you need some R&R to recharge, to get back to work!
Looks great guys and the boat is really starting to come a long. Hope and praying that hurricane season misses you. Things are going to get nautical soon. Keep killing it.
I know this may not be what you want, but cabinet makers have an Iron on edge seam, and if done well it will turn out nice and smooth. with only the edges being a seam. it is usually very durable and looks nice as well!
Great job Matt! Guy it looks very nice! Very impressive work for folks that are not professional boat builders. Great ideas for workaround in small space which transfers over to working in a small shop. One suggestion is that I would seal that open end grain with some heavy duty marine sealer (not sure what would work) on the shower before you cover it. If water or condensation get in there it will pop off that nice laminate quickly. I did do that and some gangway boards I made popped off their laminate within two years. Great work!
I do like the grain and color of the walls. Love seeing you two have some fun and sorry Kristen got injured. Have Matt kiss it make it bettou. Kinda crappy about the insurance dealy for the haul out. Keep up the fantastic work, its coming together.
Matt, you need to take that phone away from Kristen!! I see you working like a mad dog and in the background, there's Kristen just texting away! These projects would go twice as fast if your helper stayed engaged. LOL! It's really looking good. I had my doubts but you are starting to pull it off and thanks for not cutting out the mistakes. I think we all like to know what not to do and it keeps you site real. Keep up the good work.

It's starting to come together and looking very, very good. Y'all are knocking it out of the park and definitely improving your skills as well as your home on the water. I don't understand how someone can talk bad about anything you're doing when all they're doing is watching someone else get it done and living the dream. Y'all got this as you show with every video and the haters can go jump in a lake because it sure won't be the ocean with their attitudes.
Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
Amen to all the above...LOL
This right here is my Sailing GBU!!!!!! This is what brought me here. Im so glad for the two of you to see you back swimming, grilling and hopefully soon to be sailing.

Rusty and illegal in 42 states!!! Hahaha Stay the course my friends!!
Place your emergency knife on the inside of your leg as they are very prone to catching on fishing line! I am a Master diver - when diving popular areas I dive with three emergency knifes... Yes - I have been tangled in fishing line. One 8" inside calf, one 6" upper right, one 4" lower left arm.
HI KID'S MAYBE CHECK ON USING RUBBER HOSE & SLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE TO GO AROUND BATH DOOR.
Skisafe insurance insured my 1974 37ft Ranger with no hassle about 4 or 5 months ago, when others wouldn't touch it. 300k liability for a year at about 500 per year.

That sounds right up his alley

You two are a great team looking from the outside.stay well and keep the humor flowing in your lives.
Team is beautifying! Yes...we love the build up, but what we want if the finished shine. Looks good!
Looking GOOD watson.....Looking GOOD.👏👏👏👏
What a great couple demonstrating how working together works. This is so essential. Working together examples. I remember, and you will be glad I did.
Some sort of automotive door seal would work for around that opening. comes in plenty long rolls.

Hey Matt, you can get coloured caulk to go round the edges of the laminate where it meets the hull. Just a neat finish!
Matt,
There are no walls on your boat. You do have bulkheads, cabin sides, overheads and hull. The boards you installed in the fore-cabin are called sealing
It is so so helpfully no joke when your down workn to have someone just to pass the knife.

Those are some nice upgrades. Really makes it look like a new boat.
This fitting out reminds me of favourite expression “ I’ve cut it three times now and it’s still too small “ at times a bit of laughter helps a lot.
Wow! You guys are getting to be pros! The boat is really coming together and looking great !!!
Matt, on the engine room area, set it up so all the filters are easy to get at, make sure can have plenty of room to get to sea-cock valve and prop shaft seal from inside.
Nice job

My hats off to you for working so long in those unforgiving conditions ; I know it must be difficult !
It would probably be easier to work inside an oven on a stove than inside of a non airconditioned sailboat n the tropics.
you guys are making great progress! Cant wait to see you get her done and sailing again
Hi to you both,pleased to see that the refit is going well.It will have the WOW factor when completed.well done on your efforts.cheers,Roly🇬🇧.
Great to see you two again. Keep up the good work, and play.
and remember, PLAY ! ! !
Kristen and Matt are great together. Keep it up.
Matt, paper is nice to use, but a lot of times you can find free cardboard boxes in big store trash,,, like WalMart and Sam’s Clubs. You can do your layouts for cutting with cardboard sometimes easier.

Use T Moulding for your plywood edges. It's what they use on arcade cabinets. very durable
you have worked very well, and what is wonderful to see is that you have taken the advice that the comments have given you, ...!! The work is clean, well done, done the same as people who know the job...! Congratulations for the impeccable veneer, it's not easy to achieve, but it's great... Congratulations to you both, as well as the Video and translation, for French people like me who have trouble with the 'English...!! thank you for this video!
It's looking very classy, well done Matt!
Get the pros from the engine manufacturers to do the install/set up. You'll be glad you did.
Never fear Matt if God is iffy I love you guys. What a treat you two are. The pro DIY channels are missing out on real deal
You kids make one hell of a team! Love it thanks for the videos.
Super happy for you two . Walk don't run , that laminate is sharp . Have the scares to prove it . We need insurance just to be on a morring ball . It's pretty adorable , got to have it though
The boat looks fantastic. Two real people learn as they go and doing a fantastic job and you take care of each other and that is obvious and that is absolutely wonderful keep it going. I am building my man cave and copperopolis California I have never built a house in my life but I have always dreamed about building a house. My family thinks I'm crazy and is constantly trying to take control of my build. It's the worst time to try to do it because of covid and the price of lumber but I will get it done in spite of all the naysayers I know how you feel when people say you can't do something but they're all crazy if you look long enough and you chip things out long enough and you ask enough questions you can do anything the boat looks fantastic I can see you guys so not for bucks up and buying a catamaran that's all messed up and rebuilding it from day one you could do it hope your channel gets so huge that you get to do that if you are so inclined again best damn show about sailing on TH-cam
Hey y'all. My boat is 50 years old. I use progressive ins. I had to get it for a marina also. They only needed my p.o.box for address and are cheap. So far so good. They don't seem to care about boat age for liability insurance Have a great day
As a suggestion for the doorway edges u could glue and tack on half round wood trim on the edge or end of the wall 45 degree mittered corners etc it could be stained to match the color of the paneling that could be done by a shop so all u had to do would be stain and attach it easy for u and quick it would give it a doorway trim look
That coral @ 6:53!! Some of the horror movie music during the laminanza is creepy AF. You're a pro Kristin!
It's amazing how far these two have come along with video and editing. Great job
Very impressed and excited how your boat is turning out and the great effort you putting in🙂🥰
Looking good. Amazing what you guys have accomplished with limited tools and materials. Matt would be dangerous if he had a full woodshop to work out of ! Kristen is a good supervisor . Happy sailing.
Look for vinyl "T" Moulding. you slot the plywood with a router bit and the "t" goes into the slot. comes in many colors.
You're lucky the marina doesn't require insurance just to stay at the dock ! Loyd's of London will insure anything ! After you get the boat finished , get a survey ! It will help you get insurance !
You working your arse off uncle Matt..... Good stuff
That was the best horse riding lesson I’ve ever seen I was almost on that horse with you oh my goodness Kristen slow down gal
I've not checked in all y'all in a week or so. Good to see its' all coming along great. Matt' The Man! Kirsten sounding all "Supervisor Sally" with "back to work", LOL. Looking good, 2 vids this week, nice. Howdy from Hot Ass Texas!
Great job guys, Really looking good!!
Matt
The Motorhome world has, "Role Stripping" for Exterior Trim, That may be worth looking into for Your Bathroom Shower install.
You are going to have to start calling it your five thousand dollar boat PLUS shipping and handling. Beautiful results guys. I can see a little Parrothead decor and some Margaritaville in the near future.
on FB they say that Progressive liability insurance is reasonable. Good Old Boat magazine just had an article about insurance. Keep up the great work!
Laminanza! Great video! You guys are progressing wonderfully!
Wishing I was thousands of miles closer because I have this beautiful, 6 inch wide, rubber roller, brayer tool that I bought 2 years ago and haven’t used one single time yet. It would have been great to help out and get some use out of it. Keep up the good work and attitudes! Praying for a speedy completion, lol.
Thank you for taking some time off and the BBQ
You guys need to look into getting Lycra body suits. They give some protection from sunburn, keep fire corals away from skin and prevent skin abrasions from happening from all kids of owie stuff. Keeps jellyfish tentacles from skin contact too. Can be found online or visit a good dive shop.
Great job you guys. It was awesome to see Bear in the mix. Really enjoyed this video. Cheers.
I’m probably going to be way too late,but when I make bathroom stalls for public restrooms,I just use the same laminate. Both sides and the center( referring to where you were asking about “U” type trim. )Just glue it on and router the excess like the sides.
More win win win. thumbs up and fun to come with the engine install. I saw a few things around your area that could lift the stern high enough to get the prop shaft out of the water long enough to do the work. I did a stuffing box and complete bearing with shaft tube and reglassing it into place by use of inner tubes to float it out of the water using some nets to contain the innertubes and backing my boat between two piles with
wenches and timed high tide and low tide work.. I made a jig and screwed it into place to get correct shaft angle to match engine.and where shaft housing placement topped out. This is just food for thought. Have a fun time...
Great job guys keep up the good work cheers
I am very proud of you guys! Your re-fit skills have come a long way.
Wat to go!!
Nice Job guys, your hard work in coming all together, you will be sailing again soon. You both have been working hard, so you need some R&R to recharge, to get back to work!
The transformation is simply amazing. Great job folks!
Looks great guys and the boat is really starting to come a long. Hope and praying that hurricane season misses you. Things are going to get nautical soon. Keep killing it.
I know this may not be what you want, but cabinet makers have an Iron on edge seam, and if done well it will turn out nice and smooth. with only the edges being a seam. it is usually very durable and looks nice as well!
Great job Matt! Guy it looks very nice! Very impressive work for folks that are not professional boat builders. Great ideas for workaround in small space which transfers over to working in a small shop. One suggestion is that I would seal that open end grain with some heavy duty marine sealer (not sure what would work) on the shower before you cover it. If water or condensation get in there it will pop off that nice laminate quickly. I did do that and some gangway boards I made popped off their laminate within two years. Great work!
Interior is looking great!
Excited to see you guys back at sea with wind in your sails.
the laminate work looks nice! your boat will be worth the effort you put into it
You're just teasing us with the "engine update"... it's lookin' good GBU!
No motor
No sailing
Let’s get some money into the local economy and finish the interior.
What do you say GBU ?
Regards from New Washington
Thanks!
Thanks Ted
I do like the grain and color of the walls. Love seeing you two have some fun and sorry Kristen got injured. Have Matt kiss it make it bettou. Kinda crappy about the insurance dealy for the haul out.
Keep up the fantastic work, its coming together.
