Replacing Blinds + NEW Canvas Update | Old Yacht Restoration | Ep. 13 

Thank you so much for your kind words! Encouragement like this helps us going when things get tough. I hope your trawler doesn't need as much work as our boat. Take care!

What spinnaker said! I binged it all last night aswell. Amazing work! I've lived on my boat for a year now and you guys have made probably 10x the progress i have! Keep it up!

I have just gone through the internet thing for my houseboat. The most economical that I found was to get a Mifi (mobile wifi). Get a cheap data SIM that provides unlimited data and away you go. I pay $15 / month for the SIM and it is fast enough for streaming / music, smart TV etc. Obviously, it only works in cell signal range of the shore. Starlink is hella expensive.

@@TR4zest Yep, totally for lakes, or regions close to shore. I live in the Gulf area and it doesn't take long before you are well out of range though.

For now we are just using a cellular hotspot router, since we aren't planning on being out of cell range for too long in this boat.

We got them from homedepot, they will cut them to size for you as well. Not sure of the specific brand.

Thanks for letting us know.

Wow is right, it's so amazing how supportive the boating community is, we're really enjoying the journey and happy we can share it with everyone.

It's a 1978 42' double cabin Uniflite motor yacht, they are great boats!

It's been surprising, the algorithm finally found us. We couldn't do it without all of you, thanks for watching.

I did clean all the way around, but had not considered using an oil. We'll look into it for the windows that are still a bit stuck, thanks!

Danke, dass du den ganzen Weg aus Deutschland zugeschaut hast! Cheers 😄

There's been quite a few less than rewarding jobs, but somebody's gotta do it, lol.

@@SeekingSeas boat life for ya. I’m just commenting cause I know it bodes well for your “RU-vid street cred”

In the UK the transmissions for TV to the antenna are digital, and an amplifier works for that signal also. Maybe the same in the US.

Thank you for the kind words and welcome aboard!

We did use silicon, toward the end of the video, worked like a charm!

We hadn't considered a denture brush, sounds like a great idea, thanks! Good luck with your continued boat projects as well!

I hadn't heard this before, thanks!

Good choice for gbu and sailing doodles

Thanks! He's always "helping" on every project. His name is Crowley 😄

Yes, your absolutely right. There's moorage, electricity, and all the repair stuff we have to buy. Where we are saving is on labor costs because we're doing it ourselves. We're going to do a video of what it actually has cost us in the near future. We could have bought a boat in better shape at a much greater cost as well, but for us it's a project that we can do together, an accomplishment to be proud of and will get to enjoy for years to come.

Thank you, we'll work on that.

Thanks! Crowley was named after a character in the tv show Supernatural. He hasn't clawed the windscreen cover, yet... 😬

Hannah or the boat?

Couldn't agree more, Hannah is a keeper!

Also, I wanted to apologize for what is clearly a lazy attempt at humor. I was rushed and wasn't paying attention to what I was doing, and a lazy half question clearly doesn't convey what I was getting at. I was going to edit it, but don't really value correcting something without an explanation. Anyways... I have binged the whole series so far today and am both absolutely impressed and amazed with you both! You two are digging in, putting in the work, and making it happen! I'm out of Tacoma and am (hopefully) just a few years behind you both in the endeavor. My wife is opening up to idea, albeit slowly. Both of you are very resourceful and clever, and I'm really appreciating how you show us the nitty-gritty of what you're getting into, without selling "the dream". Also, my daughter is named Hannah, so +1 haha. I'm looking forward to following your guys' journey with this process, and I'm also wondering, in case I missed it... Have you come up with a name yet?

Haha no worries about the joke, it earned a little chuckle from me. Thanks for watching the whole journey! Honestly I (Hannah) had to warm up to the idea of it as well, but now it feels like home and I totally understand the love for the water that Jesse has always had, and going on this journey together just makes it that much better! We haven't fully decided on a name but have gotten some good suggestions, let us know if you have some ideas!

We know a little bit about it. Uniflite built the river patrol craft for the US Navy, then was purchased by Chris Craft in the 1980s. Parts are still available from a Co who bought all the original designs up in Bellingham. We have ordered parts from them before, SeaCure.

Just realized someone already said that.. so never mind 🙃

Great idea! We could have used it a number of times by now, thanks!

After a few months the adhesive gave way, so I would suggest using a stronger adhesive. Hopefully you found a solution that worked for you!

It's been amazing watching the transformation and helps to motivate us to keep going. All the positivity were receiving from folks such as yourself just cements the fact that we're on the right path. Thank you!

No worries 😂😂

That would be awesome, thank you. Contact@seekingseas.com

He thinks so, at least... 😂

He has amazing skill, took longer than advertised but worth the wait.

Glad we could provide a little inspiration, we'd love to see your project.

Thanks for the info.

Thank you, will do.

That sounds awesome, We'd love to do something like that.

Hey Jeff, thank you for the kind words. One question I had for you was, do you remember the different kinds of wood they used? Looks like lots of teak but the doors look like something else almost. Also wondering what finishing products were used on the wood as well. Thanks again for watching.

We can't wait to get up to the San Juan's, were hoping to do some cruising this summer. The boat likely won't be completely done, but good enough for a trip or two. Maybe we'll see you up there.

Theyre just regular home-style blinds but they work great on the boat!

We have two 150 gallon tanks port and stbd, and one 200 gallon tank in the stern.

@@SeekingSeas I think I just had a heart attack. Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you.

No the lower helm is on the port side. We're going to refinish that in the near future.
