Jetty showing us the Queen size bed priceless!!! 😂She had me belly laughing!!! 💙🚢💙 Fantastic boat remodel. You both should be so proud of your hardwork!!

@dannyslaughter4845 Год назад

Jetty does love that bed! Hahaha

@ianbardon8581 Год назад

I can't say I like my dog rolling around on my bed, 👎

@DunnDifferent Год назад

This boat turned out amazing! I have a hard time staying with sailing RU-vidrs that switch back and forth between the types of content they can put out. That being said, I haven’t missed a video since they were on Adrenaline. Doesn’t matter what they are up too, Billy and Sierra make anything interesting and fun to watch. This new boat is no exception! What a beautiful remodel!

@Tulasendlesssummer Год назад

You just made our day ❤️ We are lucky to have ya!!!

Great job guys! when I was a young man I bought a house for 60.000 my wife refused to go inside. Her father laughed at me when he saw it. I busted my butt and six months and 10,000 later I had a palace. I sold that house three years later for 185000. That was in 93 now I’m retired and living in a paid for 2+ million home. Hard work makes dreams come true.

@bernie9728 5 месяцев назад

I purchased a boat for $1.00 one time. A friend of mine needed to get the boat moved and no way of getting it done. He told me if I could move it I could have it. I insisted on giving him one dollar. My plan was if I could bring it back to life I was going to name it "Pass the Buck". I ended up scrapping the boat, but I did get a pretty nice trailer out of the deal. Turned it into a utility trailer that I still have today.

@fatb0tLP Год назад

My favorite boat rehab series you've guys ever done. This boat is awesome. You both must've learned so much with each vessel.

@chrismaggio7879 3 дня назад

Amazing transformation! You paid $100 for a lifelong home and a dream that most will never achieve.

@steveraines4370 Год назад

You two did an amazing job bringing that boat back to life. Beautiful

@anthonymiller8989 Год назад

Tony & Susan here, We are shocked at how well this turned out. We were skeptical that it was in fare worse shape. But you have made her beautiful again and given her a promising future for the next owner.

@judy8301 Час назад

@markallan7654 Год назад

Your hard work added several more decades of life to that old boat that was once ready for the scrapyard. Turned out beautiful. Nice job!

Bonjours. Vous avez fait un travail de titan. Magnifique réalisation. Bonne continuation. Prenez soin de vous. Amitiés du sud de la France. Olivier.

@arwenevenstar9843 Год назад

Great job restoring that old boat. I have a soft spot for keeping old, but usable things in service. Much better to repair / renovate than always buy new. After watching your re-fit and repair, I would have no qualms about buying that boat from you. (If I could afford it...) Their are times when good enough work is more practical than perfection. An old boat like this one is a great example for "good enough". By the way, painting the galley white was a good call, it makes it bright instead of dingy. When it was new, that probably was not a problem. Enjoy the boat and your travels with it.

@BOSmith1958 Год назад

I am so ready for you guys to get the new boat, settle down and just take a breath. I have watched yall a long time so to speak. All 3 of you were the happiest in the Bahamahs. To me, it is yalls happy place. Get back to your roots lol. I need to order some more shirts lol.

@grizzle251 Год назад

"She's a good old boat, man" I couldn't have said it better myself, you two did an awesome job on reviving the old lady. I have seen every episode, thank you for the hours of pure entertainment. I would like to send you something to show my appreciation, how about a box of sanding disks 🙂

@carmancloud Год назад

Flippin fantastic guys! You took a chance and used your waiting time to not only restore that beautiful boat but to make some great content as well. Well done!

@johnhamilton1791 Год назад

Well done you two, you have made a silk purse out of a sow's ear ! She looks great !

@nickviner1225 Год назад

You two have done an amazing job on that poor unloved boat. She now sparkles from bow to stern. Well done.

@jlingberg Год назад

You guys are unbelievable! Every project is more amazing than the last. We've been following you since you lived on the hook in Jupiter way back and, while we've switched back and forth on other channels, you are the constant for us. You guys should be so proud of the work you put into this. Keep it up!

@bobbland5744 Год назад

an amazing transformation

@stanmeeuwen3093 Год назад

You two should be extremely proud. Nice job. I need to ask, though, who's Tula?

@rebalson9412 Год назад

I started watching over 5 years ago. So mush inspiration gained through your channel. I'm in the process of selling what I thought was my dream farm property and the majority of my belongings. Just to start a new life sailing and eventually becoming a Captain, to charter trips from my home town of Sarasota Fl. To key west. Thanks for being AWSOME!!!

@chuckmaurice3646 Год назад

I like the whole thing, you both did well. I have been watching you for about 6 years

@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643 Год назад

Incredible job you two. You both breathed a lot of life back into her.

@jacktaylor1030 Год назад

What a great $100.00 dollar deal!!! I imagine the former owners are very proud to see her back in ship shape....When you get your new boat, you can sell, charter, or use as an ABNB, for extra money. What a deal!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YAH!!!!!!

@brendankenny5795 Год назад

It has been a blast watching you both transform the Mountain Myst. DeFever is a fantastic manufacturer. Congrats to you both.

@sprezzatura8755 Год назад

Fantastic job! Who knows what would have happened to this boat had you not come along.

@ralphholiman7401 Год назад

Wow! You have inspired us to start remodeling our 1973 motor yacht. You have have given us a lot of great ideas, too! We got started last week! Really enjoying this series! Thanks!

@ChrisLee66 Год назад

IMO you two did the best I've seen here on youtube in the DIY boat refit and overhaul genre. Don't know if you are inching towards it but this could be your business and would be very successful.

@steveswann8448 Год назад

There are two kinds of boats in the Pacific NW: those with sticks in the air and those without. You have a great (non stick) boat and platform to spend many years up here exploring. And you can always run down to the Sea of Cortez. You’ll NEVER run out of video content on the Left Coast.

@evolusd Год назад

What a gem! Whole lot of sweat equity in that boat!

@chuckswanson7097 Год назад

Really fine restoration work. You both need to stand back and take a well deserved bow. The fact you were able to make a successful west coast transit from San Francisco to Washington state attests to you skill, the weather gods get some credit as well! It's been an enjoyable transformation journey for me. Chuck

@B.E.Long.63 Год назад

100 bucks and a lot of hard work, turned out awesome congrat's you two.

@philabbey3315 Год назад

You guys did a fabulous job. You restored her back to glory, and man does she look good. It was hilarious seeing Jetty showing off the bed. I wish you guys safe and wonderful travels.

@m.s3303 Год назад

It’s so perfect. I’m so happy for two of you. Plus I’ve been a dog lover for my entire life. Y’all are so great. Please be careful and stay away from big storms.

@codylane7472 Год назад

it was interesting to watch this amazingly hard project. i feel smarter:)

@farmingfromabove2234 Год назад

I know behind the scene you both put hour and hours of toil and sweat into transforming this old girl into a real beauty. I have really enjoyed watching all of your efforts pay off.

@bdphourde Год назад

We all had the opportunity to watch this transformation but until you got to the Puget Sound and have had the time to really organize and clean her up, the miracle was not quite as obvious as it is now! We know YOU love it, and now you know that WE love it, too! It is still a little hard to fathom the extent of what you two have accomplished! The previous owners have got to be overjoyed that you have saved their dear boat!

@cscms28 Год назад

Looks so good. So glad you made the kitchen white. So bright and clean now. I like your boat.

@leaht-pu1tm Год назад

Best part is on the deck in the sun and chillin. You 2 have done a fantastic job. Congrats and may God Bless you and keep you safe.

@dalehan123 Год назад

Wow! You both are to be congratulated on your new boat and your entire journey together! Your videos are awesome to view because they allow us landlubbers to fulfill our sailing and exploring fantasies. Thanks so much for the free ride!😀

@carljohnson5006 Год назад

Congratulations to you both. You recognized the good bones, put in the hard work and have been rewarded with a beautiful boat. I love watching your videos. The two of you work and play well together. You've built a great life thanks for sharing it.

@pammager7135 Год назад

Billy and Sierra, you both did such an awesome job rehabbing your boat. It is so big. And accessible! Have been watching your story for a very long time! Good luck on going forward and hoping to see you back in Florida soon!

@johnnylightning1491 Год назад

I hadn't noticed that saloon table before, it's awesome!! Yes I have been with you from the beginning. Unfortunately my wife doesn't like the water so I'll never own a boat bigger than my fishing boat so I guess I'll live vicariously through you guys. Keep the good stuff coming.

@johnr1840 Год назад

Amazing boat! You two should be very proud of all the hard work.

@markmateljan260 Год назад

You guys have done a great job of fixing a old but great boat..... salute from down under. 💙

You guys did an amazing job on that boat, she looks so nice compared to the day you were first looking at it.

@darlenemc3586 Год назад

Like I've said before, "Everything you touch turns to gold". You are a great team!!! The boat looks so pretty. I know the new owners will love her.

@leroyhileman183 Год назад

NEW OWNERS?

@darlenemc3586 Год назад

@@leroyhileman183 I mean to say....future, new owners. I think they should keep that boat. She's a winner!!

@rogervondach1238 Год назад

I have seen about 3 or 4 of your videos and all I can say is "Congratulation" for a job well done. OK., it's not quite done yet but it will be. It is nice to see a young couple doing this! Keep going and once you done, it would be nice to know where you will stay and maybe we come and visit!

@paulparker6432 Год назад

Great job you too It is a pleasure seeing a young couple like yourselves doing so much hard work It is rare to see that today. Take it from a 62yrs Old pirate☠ lol. You should be proud of yourselves good luck In all of your future adventures.

@honeymcdonald9120 Год назад

Great job. i too have given up on all other sailing RU-vidrs. Either they're self absorbed or just strange. You two seem so natural and Jetty is perfect!!

@tomdrummy4984 Год назад

Awesome transformation. 👍 She looks great……apparently the queen size bed is Jetty’s. Lol !

Almost speechless! AMAZING!! You are such an inspiration.

@quarlow1215 Год назад

This transformation has been amazing. Be proud. I would never be worried about purchasing a boat you two have done. Top notch all the way.

@chasepuzon6893 Год назад

You 2 did a Fabulous job with that boat. You brought it back to life. I hope the person that sold it to you. That’s very proud of you also.

You two are so cute. Congratulations on your marriage and your beautiful new boat. You did an amazing job on her. I’ve really enjoyed the peaceful videos over the years & more to come - God bless

@vikimoody8783 Год назад

Yeah, the finished boat looks great. A fantastic finish! You guys are awesome. Big congrats to a job well done!

@chrislynch7574 Год назад

I have followed y’all for a long time this is by far one of the favorite series as far as the build goes, all your hard work turned out great. Thanks for putting the time in….. now get the new cat so we can see tropical places again…. 😊🌴🌴

@nooneanybodyknows7912 Год назад

Whether you're sailing, battling squalls, manning nightwatches, at anchor, or adrift, surfing, windsurfing, snorkeling, swimming, paddleboarding, hiking, biking, exploring, cleaning, destroying, rebuilding, sanding, polishing, cooking, eating out, socializing, or even getting married...whatever you two are up to I'm with you. It's a blast hanging out with you.

@jeepmystic 19 дней назад

you should be rightfully proud of what you guys have accomplished

@bindatek8801 Год назад

I guess a lot of hard work and heartbreak was the real price of restoration. You have done a real smashing job! You now have a classic cruiser and enjoy it! I did not notice fire fighting devices in the clean and tidy engine room....with lithium batteries too. Maybe it is a manual system as in extinguishers. You have the right idea "You must have TWO and if you have the room THREE" of everything. Happy boating!

@rickhodges1731 Год назад

Well done. You've certainly saved a boat that might otherwise ended up in the salvage yard!

@StevenPendleton Год назад

I think this has turned out maybe the nicest boat you have had!

@normanhowe-gl2tq Год назад

Re-Hab nicely done---I can see you are very proud of the job you have done, and rightfully so. My wife and my favorite moments were aboard our 1986 Sea Ray 340 Sedan Bridge. wish we were still on it----am now retired and on a fixed income. That style boat is truly a classic and made of the finist materials. Enjoy your fruits of many hours of work---it really shows very nice!!!

@carlosmueller3031 Год назад

Great Content! I usually do not watch any Channel that has to do with living on a boat but this channel and the journey has been really great so far. Always wait for new episodes. Keep it going!

@MichaelBuck Год назад

Excellent review of all the hard work you both have put into this boat flip project. You bought her for $100, put a year of work into refitting and revitalizing her and now we all are wondering how much will you be selling her for. Its kind of funny as I recall when you bought her you stated it would be about a 4-5 month refit process and here we are 1 year later, lol. It alwasy takes longer than you expect with these things. Will you be doing a cost analysis for this refit? I am guessing you put in $50-75K and will be asking ~ $150K-200K when you list her. I guess you all end up making 150K to go towards the new Seawind catamaran, which should be almost ready for you all to pick up this spring. Looking forward to the next adventure soon!

@paulwoods682 Год назад

A superb boat 'save', now a stunning roomy and homey 'movable home'!

@mickc4633 Год назад

@richb313 Год назад

@michaellane1316 Год назад

Kudos to you younsters for the shown enthusiasm for what may have seemed an overwhelming project.

@elrobo3568 Год назад

I owned a boat repair shop, here's some suggestions (if you don't have them) Automatic and manual fire suppression system for the engine bay. (CO2 or Halox or another fog type that will not be corrosive) You can open it from the helm or if fire happened when you sleep or are gone a sprinkler head would open in the bay. A water alarm to let you know if there is water in the bilge above whatever level you set it at. a C) alarm and a fire / heat alarm. and a TV camera or two in the eBay, believe it or not the wireless ones at harbor Freight work very well and you can access them on your phone. All of these are really cheap and worth their weight in gold to let you know something is wrong before it is critical. The last is a few semi trailer ratchet load jacks, get the good ones that are used commercially. if you have a leak they can be used to press a piece of wood with something between them to stop a leak. You are looking at about $250 for all this but I also did search and rescue and these if ever needed can help prevent tragedy.

@roderickbowes2482 Год назад

ADMIRE you both so much! Incredible overhaul/incredible effort. BEAUTIFUL Results!!

@ticdelarue Год назад

You should loosely uncoil your shore power cable because it can start to generate a high amount of heat coiled tightly like you have in an induction coil configuration. To test it place a metal object in the center of the coil and see if it heats up. Also for added pizzazz, spray wash and white spray can paint the storage areas like the propane tank stogie area. You guys have done a fantastic job in such a short period of time and I'm positive the sale of this vessel will give you guys a huge down payment on you future boat when it is complete.. Elbow grease equals $$$$ Give Jetty my love.

@archstanton9206 Год назад

You guys did a fantastic job on a boat that absolutely deserved to be rescued. Been with you since Adrenaline as well, and I agree...you make every project interesting and, in the process, I think you give other folks who may not have had the life skills you guys have a path to learn...this can be done! I've had my go fast boats and Tournament Ski boats, but I still remember my first time on a trawler as a kid. I think they are underappreciated by younger folks. The boats represent a way of traveling at a pace that makes the journey itself a bigger part of the trip; time to see, and enjoy the simple pleasures of being at sea. Well done guys.

@rohanchapman4159 Год назад

So good to see you guys proud of your work, totally deserved, you're a great team. Happy adventuring. Peace and love from the UK

@bhogg92 Год назад

New Sub here. This was a great series. My wife and I enjoyed watching this transformation from start to finish. We are current'y looking for a project live aboard ourselves, an early to mid 1980's 48' or 52' Defever is our dream boat but they are far and few between here in South Carolina. The ones that we have found in NC, SC, GA and FL for sale have already been refitted and are out of our price range. We found a 1982 43' Mainship for sale by owner in Beaufort SC that needed a major overhaul but as we were touring it we decided it was too small. Keep up with the good work and living the dream!

@Cajundaddydave Год назад

Wow! Awesome job guys. You took a poor old neglected trawler and brought her back to life for another go around. I can't imagine a better home anchorage than the San Juan islands WA. Tons of protected anchorages within a few hours under way. Cheers!
