I Bought A RUSTY GMC 2500 HD DURAMAX As My New Work Truck | 2004 GMC 2500 HD SIERRA SLT LLY Duramax
I sold the 2013 RAM 2500 Cummins and bought a fixer upper.... well a little more than a fixer upper. This new to me truck is 20 years old, is filled with rust, almost gave me tetanus, AND HAS 240,000 MILES on it. Time to make it into the Boat Restoration By Ben work truck!
Welcome to Boat Restoration by Ben! 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, Ben.

    🍅Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

  • @classicxl

    check the inner frame right behind the fuel tank . on mine the frame was real thin on the edges of the frame because salt and other crap gets trapped behind the tank and the frame rots out

  • @Slithh
    @Slithh Před dnem

    She's beautiful with a lot of potential. Not bashing or negative in any way but, asking price is a bit high considering the amount of $$ one will have to shell out to get her back into shape. Replacement value is a moot point but that's for another discussion. Wish I had 50 grand. I'd love to make an offer! But, I'm disabled and it's above my pay grade lol. Loving your videos!

    • @SuperJlonergan
      @SuperJlonergan Před 2 dny

      yeah but theres a thing of overshooting on the price will drive a lot of people that may be interested away from even making an offer thinking they are too far apart not even going to bother, to get a counter in the middle somewhere is usual practice so if its too high an asking price the offer gotta be super low, much better to deal with someone who is more reasonable with the bottom line

    Nice find! I'm casually looking around at them myself. Many classic Duramax I find for sale are in need of head gaskets, transmission rebuild, and occasionally injector injectors / new lines. Any thoughts as to cause / fix? Can't wait for more content on the Pursuit.
