Thanks for watching! Maggie is an absolute sweetheart. We are lucky to have her with us. I will pass on the editing compliment to Janis. She will appreciate it. Take care!

So, looking back at all the time, effort and money from when you picked her up in Alaska to now... Knowing what you know now, would you buy a newer / more maintained vessel, or still go for it as she was?
Hey Tim! GREAT QUESTION which we have asked ourselves! We did get her at bottom dollar and you seriously can't find aluminum boats like this anymore. We are setting her up for a trip north through Alaska and across to Siberia so we def wanted a boat we can trust and rebuild from the bottom up. Blaine and I want to know this boat inside and out which is why we are redoing the whole thing. We also get to put our stamp on her and make her ours. The time and effort is fun....as for the money - we are still WAY ahead of the game. We both believe we purchased an awesome boat and the time and effort is so worth is.
@@OnboardTangaroa A very amazing experience, and I applaud you both for it! I remember you telling me you moved onto your boat, but far from fully appreciated the journey you are on. Makes total sense to take the bones, rebuild as you want and into the vision. The perseverance and results clearly are a major source of pride, and a huge congratulations to you both because you totally earned it!
@@OnboardTangaroa like I said I may not have anything to say after watching one of your videos but I will make a comment of some kind to help your channel numbers 🍻
Hey Mike....we actually aren't going to paint it. We both love bare aluminum. We are in the process of polishing it. 40 grit buffer then 80 grit buffer then 150 grit buffer then back to 120 grit palm sander. We love the finish and aluminum when exposed to oxygen forms a protective layer of corrosion which prevents further corrosion so our hull will last forever! .... or in Blaines words a very long time. When moisture gets trapped between paint and aluminum it doesn't form this protective layer and instead turns into a goo like toothpaste.
