Hello Everyone,
Thank you so much for the continued support in the previous videos that I done restoring the Shetland 570. Sorry that that has been put on hold for the last 3 months. The final video of that restoration will be out very soon. But my attention has been solely on this boat for a little while now so please enjoy me restoring not only another boat but another Shetland. Thank you all again.
This is a Shetland Family Four, and I had the opportunity to buy it for a very good price based on the amount of work that needed doing. I plan to do all the required work and get this boat back on the river for someone to enjoy for the summer so if this is something that interested you then please stick around.

Hello from Ireland. Great to see a young lad using his spare time with something constructive. A top role model. Keep up the good work.

@benriverss Год назад

Thank you very much! Have you got a boat yourself?

@ballygarran Год назад

@@benriverss not yet. I’m looking for my first boat. Whatever comes along. I’m not necessarily bothered about flipping it and making money off it, just something to use on the lakes & canals here in Ireland. I’ve seen a couple of 26’ cruisers that need total refurbs for about €2000, but that means paint, interior, electrics & engine. I’ll see what happens.

@@ballygarran if you aren’t interested in the renovation side of it and you can get one done then defo do that and just enjoy it. Some people start projects when they don’t really want to and end up not finishing them and not experiencing how boating can be! What sort of thing you looking for? A speed boat or cruiser?

@ballygarran Год назад

@@benriverss I’m lucky that I live near a good fishing lake, I’m also about 30 miles from the river Shannon. A cruiser would be better for wife & 2 kids. I don’t mind the refurb side of things I used to work in maintenance so it’s something I’d enjoy. The budget is the thing. With a refurb I could spread the cost.

@@ballygarran yes definitely mate, if you can do a project then I would recommend just make sure you get a good one for a good price may take a while but will be worth it for sure. Will you be staying on it?

I am looking for the same boat atm, I want to gut the whole thing and modernise it to my own taste, I will never sell after the project is finished so can go mad on it. Subscribed to your channel as I can see myself learning a lot from you. Ps I’ve never fixed, piloted or owned a boat I’m hoping RU-vid will be my right hand man.

it will be a great move, good solid boats, a great size too. many people willing to help.

Have you checked whether the boat is dry? If it has not been done before this boat is water-logged for sure. The best way to check is to remove table socket in the cockpit but I can see yours has been sealed so you can cut the hole out inspect the boat under floor and install new table socket later. The boat is filled with foam and if waterlogged the foam will be brown . Ideally would be to cut the foam out to bottom of the floor (water usally sits at lowest oart of the foam). I did restore couple of Shetlands F4 and they are always waterlogged.

@benriverss 11 месяцев назад

Foam was all good on this one mate and later in another video I take the cabin pedistal bracket off the floor and inspect the foam! Thank you for your comment! What years were the f4s that you did?

@koolaevah 11 месяцев назад

@@benriverss Good to hear. I did 3 F4's from top to bottom, including floor. I've converted one from splash well to engine pod which gave plenty of deck space (F4 from Mark 5 as I remember were designed with the engine pod instead of the traditional splash well. I worked on years 1983, 84 and 91. I still have the '83 one which I use for fishing and cruising. I'm done with boats restoration for good - too much work haha!

@benriverss 11 месяцев назад

Definitely mate! Any photos?

@paulmayne3216 Год назад

good video young fella, keep them coming😉👍

@benriverss Год назад

Thank you so much! Part two out next Friday 6pm 🤙

@Crimetvuk 3 месяца назад

9:28 just a theory, some of the white caps have popped off over time, the previous owners have noticed the screws have rusted and replaced them as a when the caps fell off?

@benriverss 3 месяца назад

that is defo a possibility!
