I Bought a Hurricane Damaged Yacht and Full Life Update! 

I was on the edge of my seat, saying to the tv, yes gonna say it's been repowered, i just know it cause he's so excited. And 💥 you won the lottery! Kick ass boat! Been watch you since the beginning, you keep me planted. Keep em coming. 👊👊👍👍🤘🤘

Its amazing how much you know Gus for ur age about fixing motors. There nothing you cant do. You should be proud of yourself,

I love this guy's content. Popcorn 🍿 ready

All I can say is WOW. You got it going on Gus. I just turned 65 overweight with a bum knee and you just took me back to my younger days. I so wish I could go back but I can't so I'm living my days thru your videos. Keep having fun and never look back.

I'm 75 and you remind me of my younger self. I was wild and crazy and nothing bothered me. Every problem had an easy and simple solution. Every day was an adventure. Life appeared to be infinite in all ways. It was a wonderful time. And that's where you are now on your journey through life. You are a fine and talented young man. I wish you well in all you may do.

I am 69 years old 36 years heavy equipment mechanic, worked on boats in Ft. Lauderdale I live in Lake City, Florida now if you ever get a project and need a hand I would share my experience, and knowledge. Do not expect any pay, just the fun of doing what I enjoy also enjoy doing... getting Dirty!! Great Videos you rock youngster!!!

You're the most amazing young man I have ever found. Wow!! You deserve that beauty of a boat. I'm a 66 year old lady in Cape Town who has been following you on your travels and daily life for a while now and I am still loving your video's and looking forward to see what you do in future. I have a vision of you being very successful. With your personality and skills the sky is your limit!!! I just LOVE what you do. Tx for sharing your life with us. Lots of love and blessings from South Africa.♥️🇿🇦🥂

I have no clue what kind of price you paid for that beautiful Hatteras, but as handy as you seem to be with everything, you picked a winner. The fact that it has been repowered with those 2 awesome engines makes is very valuable and then add in all the other neat things they added to it and that may be the buy of a life time. A 50' Hatteras puts you in some nice company and a step up in the boating community. They are well built with nice features and beautiful wood. I wish you the best of luck with it and safe boating!!!

Absolutely love your channel I was iffy at first and upon watching you and seeing your hard work I appreciate you. Stay safe.

Thank you for taking us along on your journey

My 85 yr old Dad is AMAZED at your knowledge and how hard working you are at your age!! CONGRATULATIONS!! He loves watching u!!! Thank u. Waiting for new updates!!

Amazing to me how someone so young can know so much about so many things.

Great video and awesome boat its a dream boat keep us up to date..

I don't know how you do it, Gus... but your optimizum and enthusiasm can't be beat! 👏 Good luck with your new-2-u boat! 🛥 Casey's a KEEPER. 😘🙈 Old guy approves! 👍⚓️🛟

Awesome Gus, can't go wrong with a Hatteras especially with a pair of 12 valves. You gotta hit me up when you're in Stuart. I want to show you all about additive manufacturing on a boat. You could be a floating custom parts store wherever you go !!

Always loved my ole Detroit's that's about all we had when I was driving and operating in 60s everyone ran them ole leaky dds good job son

Dude you are amazing. A very rare breed in this day and age. You work hard for everything you have and deserve the best. With such a positive attitude and mindset you will go places and live the dream. I hope your channel blows up. There are a lot of people that loves this content and live through you. Good luck

So happy for you! These are the dreams I had at your age but you are actually living them. A classic Hatteras!!!, She couldn't have fallen into better hands...

Dude, just found your channel. Love that you are not afraid to just do it. I also love the water and have had boats since I was young. Your having more enjoyment than most people with 15M boats.

Dude your killing it. Keep the content coming. You’ll hit one mil in know time.

Welcome back, glad to see you've been living the life most of us wished we were living!

Thanks for the update! Looks like the hurricane was a blessing in disguise. Easy on the Albin and enough to make the Hatteras affordable. Best of luck - looking forward to the journey!

It does my heart good to see a young man who has his sh*t together. Man, you don’t even know what lady, or can’t mean. Apparently, there are a lot who agree with me. You’re down to earth and haven’t a pretentious bone in your body. I look forward to your next video. I don’t have much but set up a Patreon page and I’ll support you.

That is such a beautiful boat!! You scored big time especially with the repower

👍👌👏 Oh WOW, what a simply fantastic video! The Winnebago is a win for sure and the summer campsite near the scrapyard was a great spot and opportunity. The boat for free (with the 50hp Mercury 2stroke outboard motor) is a nearly unbelievably good purchase and I'm happy to see that y'all had a lot of fun. Your new/old 50ft Hatteras boat is a freaking fantastic purchase. 🙌 Sturdy and beautifully built like for instance an old Rolls Royce but technically upgraded already. Congratulations 🎉 Sir. In my opinion you deserve all the positive things happening in your life because you are a hardworking, disciplined, talented man with a lot of skills. One of the best things to see is, that you and your dad not only go along together well but can also work together well. Both is quite rare nowadays. Although I have to say, that boat people in general seem to be a different respectively better breed. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.

Congrats Gus….my wife and I are excited and joyful for you! Keep up the great content and stay humble, young man.

Thanks for the fun videos. This old NH boy (Keene) is happy to see you NH youngsters still know how to work hard and party hard. Best wishes for success on this new project.

You really know how to tell a story and keep us interested. When I saw an hour video, I said no way I’m watching this whole thing. Here I am at midnight watching the last of it. Great job and best of luck. Happy Ours comes out of the water end of month for some much needed Hurricane repairs also. Thanks for catching us up on your escapades. Where you at now?

What a score on the Hatt.. I am excited to see what you do. You are truly living- don't change a thing!!

Congrats! Your "tank" description is absolutely spot on, there was no shortage of "fiberglass trees" when they built her and Jack Hargrave was a genius designer.

Congratulations on the Hatteras…right place, at the right time… Can’t wait to see updates and progress… God Speed my friend…

You have a lovely new project boat there . Casey and you seem to be a good fit for each other.

Glad to see you are back. Congratulations on you’re new purchase. But where is the RV.

Awesome video. Now 50 I’ve decided to say eef it all and find us a boat to do and adventure. I think you are headed in the right direction. Just wish I would have came to my sense earlier. Love your videos and look forward to seeing more. I’m sure your dad is have the time of his life adventuring with you. Cheers.

If I was your age again, I would be doing exactly what you are doing right now. Very inspiring. I have a 1973 Bertram 42 flush deck that's my pride and joy. But, I got into that kind of boating later in life. I shouldn't have waited. But, one of the things that sold us on our boat seven years ago, was the fact that it had just been repowered with brand new Yanmar 370 hp diesels. New engines is huge.

I have had 13 boats in my life from 20ft to 46 Bertram motor yacht and 3 24 Sea Rays and now i have a 23 Sea Ray keep up the good work your beautiful

We're hooked ! GUS just can't wait to see the next video:-)

Great to have you back!

Been wondering what was going on. Your new boat looks amazing. Good for you, Gus. Great channel.

Way to go! You inspire all of us!

Your going to be happy with this Hatteras and great cummins engines just take it slow and work on it one thing at time. I did that on my 32 Wellcraft St Tropez rebuilt the 454 engines and re upolistered helm seats cockpit seats for 5 years but i loved that boat.It i still running in Long Beach Ca i sold it 6 years ago, The same own you towed out of the marina yard thanks Joe in Long Beach Ca

Beautiful boat! Best wishes on a new endeavor! 🎉🎉

Wow what a story!!! .... This fan missed you man..... I am glad your back and can't wait to see all of your video's 😀

HELL YA!!. Talk about UPGRADE. Congrats Skipper. WOW!

Good deal you’re doing everything I did in the 90’s except I had a wife and 4 children along for the ride, enjoy it’s a blink in time

I too, am well up in years, but an active hobie cat owner and sailor (inland lakes only) and a regular on the youtube circuit. What you are doing is fantastic, well worth following and I wish you fair winds and following seas as you move ahead with your growing fleet and fan club. Cheers!

You are an amazing guy! Great attitude! Look forward to see how the repairs go on the Hatt!

After seeing the hurricane damage on the boat, most people would run, and run fast. You, “this isn’t that bad, I can fix this” You’re a beacon of hope for the Young and Intrepid go-getters. Nice job!
