Our Sailboat DiY projects keep coming but we're ready to get back on the water! Follow us here: / adventuresinparadisefl / adventuresinparadisefl / adventuresinparadisefl Thank you for your support!
Just wanted to come on here and say thanks for all the videos. I went sailing in my Catalina 22 for the first time the other day, and again today. I remember watching your videos on Knot Enough and getting inspired that I could sail also. I rigged up the entire boat myself and raised the mast with my wife. There was some serious noob moments.. launching without the tiller and motor on.. using paddles to get back to the dock.. Not knowing how to install the boom, or wtf the vang was. After doing everything solo and a successful couple of sails, I feel much more confident and I really know my boat now. Thanks again and keep making content, its great!!
Enjoyed the video. Appreciate your explanations and methodical troubleshooting. Keep up the good work. Some day we hope to have a sailboat of our own, and we’re enjoying learning from others like y’all.
Hey Jason - you haven’t posted in a while so just checking in. We just moved our 28’ boat from New England to the Galveston area. My question is how do you sail in this heat!? I’m dying!
Hope all is well watched all your videos that are posted and I was just watching the one that talks about the cost for a year when you bought your 28 foot sailboat I’m curious what insurance company did you go with and about how much is insurance a year for a sailboat like your size?
well done, I think I've learned more about motor mechanics from watching your vids than anything else. Just curious, when the water is coming out behind the boat, is it always a pulsating type of flow or is it suppose to be a steady stream? Happy Thanksgiving!
Yes, it's normal to spurt out like that since water is being injected into the exhaust flow, then it goes into a water muffler, then the "tailpipe" goes uphill and out the back, so water is sort of shoved out as it fills up the hose.
Permatex makes a lot if products. What did you use, and why did you not apply it to the entire gasket surface? Use Permatex Aviation Form a Gasket Number 3 (80019) on exhaust gaskets. It doesn't harden, handles exhaust temperatures, and is removable. I used it on both gasket paper surfaces and on pipe threads in the exhaust system. I also use it on the rest of the gaskets on my Yanmar, with the exception of the head gasket.
I can't recall but I had like 4 types of it and had to order this one for high temp. I put it on the whole surface, but it stuck to the metal and didn't come off on the gasket where it wetted the gasket and it didn't seem to smash very flat. I don't think I applied it as well as I could have, but it's not leaking without it and wasn't leaking before when it wasn't used prior. Thanks for watching!
The tube looked like, and the symptoms sound like, it was an RTV' product. As you found, it was the wrong choice. Those products are designed to BE the gasket - not supplement a paper gasket. The Yanmar service manual shows which gaskets require dressing, usually with a Hylomar product that dries hard or soft. The Permatex Aviation product replaces both of them
It was Permatex and I ordered it just for this project based on another guy online who posted a how to on the exhaust riser. It may have worked if I applied it differently, but when using just the gasket it's not leaking and that's how it was when i took it apart also. Maybe if the gasket surfaces were mess up, I might choose to use some thing like this, but mine were flat and still good. . @@RechargeableLithium
Gert the 4-inch chrome ones off Amazon, there are tons.. I thik 4x1.5, tey work fine, but the table ends up being about an inch closer to the mount, which means the latch needs to be adjusted and the floor pin doesn't line up, which could also be adjusted on the table, but It still works and seems to be the only choices out there.
They are metal cable ties that come with it. People say they fall off in online reviews, but these are people who use it on motorcycles, and race cars, so they get wet and very hot. These won't get very hot or wet so I'm hoping they will be okay.
They scared themselves chitless when returning from Key West and may have lost their enthusiasm for sailing. At least I hope that is the case and nothing more serious.
We bought a motorhome and camped nine times in the past year, so we just switched up what we were doing. We then found another boat we want to buy, so we're in the process of selling this one to get the other one. More videos to come but haven't been editing for a while.
Ha! They tuned everything red and made a mess of lint the dryer, I'm never washing those again! It was like $12 for a pack so six bucks to clean the motor, in rag money.

That's great, thanks! Launching without the tiller, LOL.
Very informative channel Jason. Sad that it ended
You can use silica sprinkle before the last coat for nonslip
Thanks for sharing. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for sharing. We appreciate your hard work and know it is so much extra work getting everything on video for us.👍👍
Thanks Brian!
Haven’t seen you in awhile. Everything ok?

Well thanks, I used to watch the same sort of videos when I wanted to get into sailing also.
Working on a boat…never ending…
Great job. Its a constant battle against entropy.
Great job
Happy Thanksgiving
Won’t be in my sailboat till next summer. Stay Safe
HI Hope all is well miss your videos!

Hey man, hope all is well, it's been a few months and I've been missing your vids!
Just saw Envision up for sale on Boat Trader!! Hope this is not the end of your adventures and you upgrade to the next big thing!
Hope all is well watched all your videos that are posted and I was just watching the one that talks about the cost for a year when you bought your 28 foot sailboat I’m curious what insurance company did you go with and about how much is insurance a year for a sailboat like your size?
Nice work
Thank you!
Hey are you guys okay miss your CZcamss ? I hope all is going well ?
You should buy a old used washer use it for pre wash nasty things
not a bad idea! I sometimes was dirty rages in a bucket, the rinse, then into the regular washer!
well done, I think I've learned more about motor mechanics from watching your vids than anything else. Just curious, when the water is coming out behind the boat, is it always a pulsating type of flow or is it suppose to be a steady stream? Happy Thanksgiving!
100% normal for the water to exit like that.

Just saw Envision is anchored out by me. I said “ hey, I know that vessel!”
Where was that? We sold Envision, can you take a photo and send it to me for my next video? AdventuresinparadiseFL@gmail.com thanks!
@@AdventuresInParadise No problem. I’ll snap a few. So you have options.
Permatex makes a lot if products. What did you use, and why did you not apply it to the entire gasket surface?

no new sailing videos?
Jason, you guys doing alright, haven't seen anything from you guys in a while. Hope all is ok.
Yea... new boat! Envision is gone... Videos soon! Thanks!
Awesome
Can’t wait to see the new boat
Thanks for sharing. I need to replace the hinges on my O'Day 28 as well and have had trouble finding replacements. Which did you end up using?
Gert the 4-inch chrome ones off Amazon, there are tons.. I thik 4x1.5, tey work fine, but the table ends up being about an inch closer to the mount, which means the latch needs to be adjusted and the floor pin doesn't line up, which could also be adjusted on the table, but It still works and seems to be the only choices out there.
Good for you! Let us know when you acquire the new boat, I'll rejoin patreon
Thank you! I should have some news on all of this shortly!
@@AdventuresInParadise So any updates? Is the new sailboat happening? 😊
no new videos? still got it?
Is everything OK? I loved the channel. No final update video ?
Working on it... and it won't be a final video, more to come and thanks for asking!
wont that cable tie holding the heat insulation melt?
They are metal cable ties that come with it. People say they fall off in online reviews, but these are people who use it on motorcycles, and race cars, so they get wet and very hot. These won't get very hot or wet so I'm hoping they will be okay.
Are we not posting anymore
They scared themselves chitless when returning from Key West and may have lost their enthusiasm for sailing. At least I hope that is the case and nothing more serious.

Are you guys coming back?
Hi. We sold the sailboat and got a cabin cruiser... and some other things... I really need to make a new update video!
@@AdventuresInParadise Look forward to your return. Congratulations on your new purchases.
@@AdventuresInParadise LOL I sold my Oday 28 also
Where do you source your engine parts from?
I got the $3 gasket from Catalina Direct. The pipes from the hardware store, the hinges from Amazon. I really haven't bought many engine parts.
How are you guys doing? I hope all is well.
Thanks for asking. The boat is for sale and we've used it maybe three times in the past year. Moving on.
@@AdventuresInParadise sorry to hear that. Really enjoyed your videos. Good luck on your future endeavors.
Take them to a fluf and fold
Ha! They tuned everything red and made a mess of lint the dryer, I'm never washing those again! It was like $12 for a pack so six bucks to clean the motor, in rag money.
@@AdventuresInParadise bet the package says disposable
