Registrace 24. 02. 2020
Welcome to Boat Restoration by Ben! Formerly known as Makin Motor Moves... This is a channel based around all things boat and yacht restoration related. I was formerly a large tractor and diesel engine engineer at John Deere but now I work full time in the marine industry. When I'm not at work I an very busy with my family and working on boats. I am now on my 13th 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. Enjoy!
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!

Boats and Hoes😂
In my opinion fiberglass and saltwater dont mix. Aluminum or titanium thats it.
What did you use to paint your fenders?
Yet you haven’t took it fishin once
Fix the side from tape and bolts. ❤ then I pay double your money plus repair❤
Looks awesome
When does the restoration start?
Been asking for weeks also❤
Legit just bought a 2004 GMC 2500 4 days ago myself and excited to get this same thing rolling 👍🏼 Please keep it up
That's one hell of a seaworthy ride ya got there, That Pursuit/Tiara line rocked out Fish the shit out of her every chance ya get 💪🏻
Until you sell it.
Glad that new boat smell ain't wore off yet lol. Have you gotten any lines wet with her yet? She wants a fish flopping around her deck
Yeah...Ok😂
if it's a one on a track, you should have all the factory documentation and the window sticker 😊
It’s 2 cold 2 go 4 a Boat-ride.?.?.?. Besides 4 that NOT being a thing. . . . Just put on the heat . . .
🍅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 ?"
When’s the next vid on the trip home on this pursuit?
Awesome project!!👍🏽..I currently have a 04 LLY Dually project. Pretty much doing the same repair your doing..😆…Aloha🤙🏽
Good clean truck I’d throw those other tires and rims back on but definitely not even slightly as bad as you make it seem
Yeah to get rid of that smoke smell you're probably going to have to get a new headliner as well.
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
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!
Painting in the dark! havent seen that before lol
Flex seal and tape bro 🎉 see ya on the Bay.
That boat loaded up sold for over $500k new.
The generator is louder than both the engines running
I just had the pleasure of changing out my water pump impeller on my eight horse Honda on my sailboat 120 miles offshore of Tampa with no wind. It was terribly fun.
should have stopped at red eyes and made a day of it!
Happy for you bro. Any posts of the hull repair?
Holding off till winter.
It will sell for $54k is my bet.. when it sells..
Good honest sales pitch & description, I’ve watched a few of your videos over the past week 👍, i came up with a valuation of around $45k, guess was a bit off.
Mate. Your living my dream
Love how people bash the price. Its for sale not on sale. Best of luck Ben, kepp killing it
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
Fender. It’s a fender 😊
@@delgrangos1859 yes. Thank you!!!!!!
Old boats are such a waste of time and money. And I say that as I am about to waste a lot of time and money on an old boat. It's my Dad's old boat and I got it free thouugh, so that is my excuse.
Too many wannabes in the comments. This guy has the balls to show real numbers most guys are way to sensitive to post real prices. I love this build and look forward to more from him
Thank you! These are the comments I love to see!
Your setup is missing rods and some girls to take fishing.
Agreed. Working on that.
Did you fully repair the side?
Not yet!
Can’t wait to see you get it sale ready 😃
dont buy a dodge lol
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.
People tune them and beat on them. Leave them stock and they’ll run forever.
That rust repair should be interesting 👍
I don't think its possible haha. Running it as is!
What happened to George and Phil? Have not seen them for a few videos 😊
I moved away from them unfortunately. Miss those guys.
Why didn’t you repair on the handstand?
No time and had to move it out of NJ.
great idea !! 👏👏
Do the best buddies come with the boat?
Can I buy the glove separately?
