    I purchased a boat for $1.00 one time. A friend of mine needed to get the boat moved and no way of getting it done. He told me if I could move it I could have it. I insisted on giving him one dollar. My plan was if I could bring it back to life I was going to name it "Pass the Buck". I ended up scrapping the boat, but I did get a pretty nice trailer out of the deal. Turned it into a utility trailer that I still have today.

    This boat turned out amazing! I have a hard time staying with sailing CZcamsrs that switch back and forth between the types of content they can put out.
    That being said, I haven’t missed a video since they were on Adrenaline. Doesn’t matter what they are up too, Billy and Sierra make anything interesting and fun to watch. This new boat is no exception! What a beautiful remodel!

    Great job guys! when I was a young man I bought a house for 60.000 my wife refused to go inside. Her father laughed at me when he saw it. I busted my butt and six months and 10,000 later I had a palace. I sold that house three years later for 185000. That was in 93 now I’m retired and living in a paid for 2+ million home. Hard work makes dreams come true.

  • @arwenevenstar9843

    Great job restoring that old boat. I have a soft spot for keeping old, but usable things in service. Much better to repair / renovate than always buy new.
    After watching your re-fit and repair, I would have no qualms about buying that boat from you. (If I could afford it...) Their are times when good enough work is more practical than perfection. An old boat like this one is a great example for "good enough". By the way, painting the galley white was a good call, it makes it bright instead of dingy. When it was new, that probably was not a problem.
    Enjoy the boat and your travels with it.

    You guys did a fantastic job on a boat that absolutely deserved to be rescued. Been with you since Adrenaline as well, and I agree...you make every project interesting and, in the process, I think you give other folks who may not have had the life skills you guys have a path to learn...this can be done!
    I've had my go fast boats and Tournament Ski boats, but I still remember my first time on a trawler as a kid. I think they are underappreciated by younger folks. The boats represent a way of traveling at a pace that makes the journey itself a bigger part of the trip; time to see, and enjoy the simple pleasures of being at sea.
    Well done guys.
