When I made this video it marked my official 2 year anniversary of purchasing the 1992 Sea Ray 380 Sun Sport from the Lake of the Ozarks... This boat was built in Florida, moved to the LOTO in 2000, got new engines and drives in 2001, and was used by a family until 2009... From there it sat for 12 years until a few young Iowa men decided it was a great idea to buy a 30 year old 40' cruiser... Fast forward two years and here you have it! The '1/4 Life Crisis' is alive and going strong. Many hard times, hiccups, and headaches have accomplished what you see today. The classic Sea Ray has a long way to go but runs and drives better than she ever has! Thank you for watching and enjoy this walkthrough and the first official running footage I've taken of the boat.

Welcome to Makin Motor Moves! My name is Ben and this is a channel based around all things boat and yacht restoration related. I work full time in the marine industry and when I'm not at work, I'm currently restoring my one of a kind 1992 Sea Ray 380 Sun Sport. This is my 12th boat project! From $100 boats to 60 year old relics, I started small and worked my way up. Despite my best judgement, I buy boats that need A LOT of work and fix them up myself. I grew up boating at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, went to school to become an engineer, worked at John Deere for 5 years, and then decided to give it all up to pursue my dream to work in the recreational boat industry. Now having since moved to the Chesapeake Bay area, my mission is to share with the world my love and passion for mechanics and wrenching through my marine projects all while teaching you how to enjoy boats on a budget. I hope you Like these videos and please don't forget to Subscribe! Cheers, Makin Motor Moves.
