Great starting point. I love your project style and your ambition! Great parallel to building a house. What scares you the most about the process ahead?
Hurricanes, fire and thieves scare me the most. I don't worry to much about fixing stuff, fiberglass is awesome, if you screw it up cut it out and do it again (which I'm sure I'll end up doing a few times).
"What scares you the most..." I love this question and I can't stop thinking about it over the past few days. There are actually a lot of things that scare me, I think a lot of times fear is what stops people from achieving their dreams. I think I'm going to use that question for the theme of the next video I make for the series. The next episode covers the scariest pat of the project so far. Thanks for the great food for thought!!!!
heres my 2 cents , i have personally restored 3 lightly used and lightly neglected yachts in the last 30 yrs. ( and a bunch of classic sports cars ) 2 sail and 1 sport fish , all 40 ft. , lived aboard all the boats and drove the cars daily , did it for the adventure not for resale , current bachelor pad , 40 ft. motor coach . f type jag and car trailer at beach front rv resort , new adventure , bro , you definately have the skill set to make this happen but damn , lotta work , cheers from PADRE ISLAND TEXAS
Massive boat projects like this are no small undertaking. My father was a homebuilder in the Midwest and could complete a 1200sf brick Ranch in 60-75 days. After his retirement (over 100 houses built) and while I was an engineer, we built an F-9A 31' tri from scratch (carbon over duracore). The boat took 2 years to complete working every day. It took 3 times both the money and the time above the original estimates. It was approximately the same as building 5 houses. Unless a person has an EXTREME amount of drive and energy, strongly consider buying a functional boat.
Very true, If a person doesn't realize it will always take longer and cost more than they think and if they don't enjoy the process., then DON'T DO IT, but if you are crazy and for some strange reason enjoy the dirty, miserable work like I do, the by all means GO FOR IT!!!
You are a very brave man. I seriously spent the better part of a year looking at hurricane damaged boats after Irma and Maria a while back and I just always came to the conclusion that it was beyond me. Wishing you all the best. I’ve been watching the Parlay Revival channel restoration of their Lagoon 450. Respect.
I loved your honesty. A lot of youtube channels inflate the price they paid for the boat thinking they will get a better price when selling it. Good luck with your project. I'll be watching every episode.
@@BryanSailing precisely the chance you ever realize a profit out of it once you factor in your labor is usually slim. BUT if you are truly passionate about it who cares, that's not why you bought her. You did however it appear to have bought it extremely right but for the average non boat person its hard to see. 😆 🤣 really hard to see .... you have a lot of room for investment in this ole girl until you get upside down. Good Luck Bryan .....
Very straightforward guy Very realistic and he actually gives you the real numbers Sobering thoughts if you are thinking of this type of project Thank you for this video
I think I would add another 50k though...cus you know there will be some idea's brought up in the comments, that Bryan hadn't thought of. Who knows, maybe a cold beer dispensing jello filled solar powered hot tub is already on the list.
I think you are right, I didn't budget for the sushi conveyor belt, sauna, and mechanical bull. But, nothing in boats is ever close the the budget, so who cares.
I'm on major project boat number 7. You have hit the nail on the head. I will add that not only love sailing but you must love messing around with boats and have the tenacity to finish.
Yes I agree cleaning a junk infested space such as what you showed us is extremely vexing type of work. You got to be very strong minded and purposed to do such a cleanup. Well done.
Hey Bryan, congrats on your purchase. Just wanted to let you know if you have any questions about any systems on the Antares let me know. I was a PDQ employee for about 15 yrs. I helped build all of the 44's. I still have some build specs and electrical diagrams. Lmk. Cheers.
Once again, thanks for sharing your adventures Bryan! You may never know how much of an inspiration you are and I feel honored to have been even a small part of your ventures.
Hey Bryan, Thanks for posting these videos, I just binge watched them all. I've been working on boats for most of my life and this is a very doable project. Looking forward to your updates on the boat. Stay healthy!
Thanks for a candid assessment. I have been tempted by some Irma boats in the Caribbean but put off by those costs and fact they are wrecked twice, the second being all the items stripped by thieves which would cost so much to replace. I hope you kept the spreaders and fittings off your mast as they could possibly be used on a new 'blank'. Would save a lot.
I think you are being pretty realistic with you estimates, except maybe time, especially if you are still working your day job, I’d double it. This is why so many of these projects get abandoned because people tend to be overly optimistic with their estimates. You’re absolutely right about the value of being a project person and applying that discipline yo the undertaking.
Dude.....You are amazing! I wish I had some of your drive. I'm sure you know way more about boats than I do, but you know that price for that 2004 cat for sale on yacht world was the asking price....not it's value. I can show you a 58 Privilege less than 10yrs old in great shape that was purchased for about 550k a couple of years ago.
Thanks. Yes for sure boats rarely go for full price and I don't think my boat will be worth $500K, the point was it's not a cheap boat that I'm sure it is worth putting some money into if done right.
More to come! I was a little worried about sharing the numbers, because it can come back to bite you when you sell the boat, but I don't plan on selling it anytime soon so I figured what the heck, lay all the cards on the table.
I was on the hard at Marsh harbour boat yard for the hurricane , recognized all the boats in the video . Was on a 42 cat for it . I survived the boat did not . Was there for another two months after storm ,crazy crazy crazy .
@@BryanSailing if you go to my channel "Easternsun" there a video I did of that day called " threading the eye of Dorian " there's also two other videos from after the storm . Cheers !
Bryan, you have an awesome spirit. I am hop ing to pick uour brains soonest...as we gear up to get a CAT. Great starting point. I love your project style and your ambition! You employed an awesome parallel to building a house.
I really do not understand the type of people who are so narcissistic that they get off on giving this guy a thumbs down ! He is honest, practical, straightforward believable and helpful; maybe that’s why they feel threatened by his skills. Personally, I’ve been through this endeavor, he is spot on.
Another great video Bryan! You’re becoming my favorite CZcamsr! ;) very inspiring.. I can’t wait so see your progress on this boat. It’s gonna turn out great
Good luck. Watching your videos gave me flashbacks of when I bought my salvaged cat. Use lots of on and off, it does wonders. As you build it up you will learn everything. What ever budget you have in mind double it.
I like how up front and forthcoming with your endeavor so far. I had been interested in possibly getting a salvaged boat but the timing isn't right at the moment. I look forward to watching your future videos.
Boat will never be right always something will go wrong with it now..bad enough maintaining a legit boat never mind one that has been damaged and soaked 😰😰😰😰
another great video! so much great info, and really interesting to watch how this crazy big project develops! looking forward to following the process till the end! well done Bryan!
The manta you were looking at in marsh harbour boat yard called Star ship had two brand new yanmars with less than a hundred hours on them , the Australian guy that bought that boat paid three thousand , I'm pretty sure he's the one that sold you your boat .
Bryan, just found your channel and did a bit of binging to catch up. Keep up with the videos. Great job and good luck with the rebuild. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Hey Brian how you doing I haven't seen one of your videos in a while, and I'd like to ask how you been and how's life treating you in and my curiosity is pretty well peaked, I was wondering what happened to you but anywho how are you coming along with your catamaran remember me this is the guy that's up in Arkansas that bought a houseboat just about the same time that you bought your catamaran I hope that you're coming along well with your catamaran, hope to hear from you soon.
Nice job. Sounded a bit like rambling on, but, for those who understand, this is full of wisdom. Project management context appreciated. Design and build house. check. take on impossible projects because....reasons...check. Well done. Subscribed, like your style. Go at it.
Lot of good info but you totally missed the most important subject: what value do you place on your time? How much money does your real job pay if you were at work versus fixing a salvage boat? The time spent fixing takes away from the time you would be spending with/on ...
Thanks, I put my heart and soul into that house. 10 years of planning 2.5 years of building. I lived in in for one year, sold it and moved to Hawaii. You never know what life has in store.
@@BryanSailing well that's pretty cool story haven't spent any time in Hawaii yet but I'd like to I almost did here recently little cool story of my own, I've been looking for a sailboat far and wide so I figure I just look around Hawaii in the islands on Craigslist and lo and behold I run across this beautiful promotion sailboat for sale and low and hold who doesn't belong to,? John McVie from Fleetwood Mac and I just couldn't believe how beautiful it was on the inside and it was going for unreal price but I do realize that it was a wooden boat it was gold for I can't remember at the moment but it wasn't over $10,000 I was wishing that it was other than a wooden boat but I don't know if it's sold or not but I'm sure it did but it was I think like a 42 footer and I do want to get out on the ocean do some blue water cruising and I didn't figure that would be a good first time boat
Your success will be doing most or all of the work yourself. A professional restoration would approach the price of the similar boat you used as an example. The bank should feel lucky to get the $14,000 from you.
Hello Bryan... just came across your videos... its a beautifully ut together series that hour putting together with a very familiar subject. One of my best friends is Gary who owns the "salvage" yard in Freeport and two years ago I was sitting in the same slip that you were in having just purchased my 46ft Roger Simpson cat from its previous owner after having let her go way down for 12 years, hurricane damage from a storm a couple of years before and one rusty yanmar 40 sitting in water in pieces in the port hull... and the story goes on from there... she is fixed now, we sat out Dorian in the mangroves in bimini for two weeks... now are in North florida waiting for a virus to start behaving itself so we can get back to the islands chartering... i wish you the be a t of luck and feel free to contact me at any time if we can be of help ... Geoff... dolphinexpeditions.net
amazing! really good what you have done! I'm thinking to build mine with ply, the foam here is crazy expensive 100% taxes to import. How about the project that you thought to build, I'm interested to know because I want to build mine so if you have some tips or recommedations of books I would appreciate. Thanks!
Check out my video on the model I built of the boat I designed here: czcams.com/video/IMcRJWoOXaU/video.html Also the forums here are very useful : www.boatdesign.net/forums/
The really weird thing is one boat will have a bit of gel coat scratched off, the next boat will have the mast snapped, the next boat will be completely smashed to bits. I looked at one and the deck and mast was perfect. It looked as there was no damage. That is why i was looking. Then I looked at bottom. It was gone!!! It was dragged and busted to pieces. You have to go look!
It's much cheaper to buy a boat that somebody else has sunk a ton of money into on things like rigging and paint and interior and engine rebuilds and a perfect working order than to buy a damaged boat people just have no clue the amount of time you could spend earning money first versus spending it on that boat far outweighs the money you save
why is a boat cost exponential based on length? Is the increase in cost in the rigging? Or longer boats are expected to have a higher end interior finish, hence, more money/LF? Just wondering where the costs are at?
Then Best Channel on you tube about buing a damage boat ..the numbers/ money things etc ... fantastick video/Channel. So Much interresting to listen to you ...and you get SUBCRIBERS now wery fast allso .. CONGRATULATION... Thanks so much . Michell NORWAY 👍👍😊😊😊😊😊
A little, but the quality of boat and the design make a much bigger difference than size. I'd do it in a 19' Flicka, but not a 19' Hunter. Hunter's are fine, but you would need a much bigger one to make sure it's engineered for ocean crossings.
@@BryanSailing That is a very interesting reply I've been telling people for years that there are 20' sailboats (Flicka is always the one in my mind) that I would cross oceans in 40' sailboats that I would not Yes, seaworthiness is most important consideration
Great starting point. I love your project style and your ambition!
Great parallel to building a house.

Thank you so much for the prices. It just doesn’t make sense unless you know the prices. I’m impressed.
Most people won't talk about price because they plan to resell. My plan is to keep the boat so I figured I'd share.
This is great, you really tell it and I speak from over 50 years at sea.
This is a good channel. Someone would have to be a project guy like you to be successful.
It really gives me motivation when people like my channel -- tanks. The channel in itself is a huge project!
I loved your honesty. A lot of youtube channels inflate the price they paid for the boat thinking they will get a better price when selling it. Good luck with your project. I'll be watching every episode.

Thanks for being very transparent on the cost elements. Very informative
this guy knows what he is talking about for sure
Not everyone has your skill sets.you are a very accomplished jack of all trades.
And master of none, but I have fun. Thanks for joining Peter.
I know the price varies but its great to have an idea

I hope you kept the spreaders and fittings off your mast as they could possibly be used on a new 'blank'. Would save a lot.
You're welcome. That's the plan with the mast and the reason for such a big budget variance. I want to try to use all the hardware I can off it.
Keep positive and plugging away at it...slowly, slowly. Cant wait to see the finished cat.
Thanks. Can't wait to get starting on the fiberglass work.
Thanks for the explanations and to be so honest with prices. Great project and no doubt you will do a great job after seeing what you've done before
Stumbled into your site. Great breakdown of the costs to repair a boat. Great presentation. Thanks.

Also the forums here are very useful : www.boatdesign.net/forums/
Hi Bryan, I was wondering if they also have sailing catamarans from the size 60ft+
The really weird thing is one boat will have a bit of gel coat scratched off, the next boat will have the mast snapped, the next boat will be completely smashed to bits. I looked at one and the deck and mast was perfect. It looked as there was no damage. That is why i was looking. Then I looked at bottom. It was gone!!! It was dragged and busted to pieces. You have to go look!
Yes, going to look or person is super important!!
Bryan Sailing thanks for checking me Bryan
You are crazy, but that's why this is fun.
Could you list some of the websites you used please
I'm going to add them to the description
It's much cheaper to buy a boat that somebody else has sunk a ton of money into on things like rigging and paint and interior and engine rebuilds and a perfect working order than to buy a damaged boat people just have no clue the amount of time you could spend earning money first versus spending it on that boat far outweighs the money you save
why is a boat cost exponential based on length? Is the increase in cost in the rigging? Or longer boats are expected to have a higher end interior finish, hence, more money/LF?
Just wondering where the costs are at?
Think of it like scaling in 3 dimensions instead of just one. Plus scaling the materials to handle larger loads of a larger boat.
Then Best Channel on you tube about buing a damage boat ..the numbers/ money things etc ... fantastick video/Channel. So Much interresting to listen to you ...and you get SUBCRIBERS now wery fast allso .. CONGRATULATION... Thanks so much . Michell NORWAY 👍👍😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much Michell. Thanks for continuing to leave comments, it really helps.
Your a very impressive man. I've been looking for a sailboat for some time a liveaboard does size matter for say a atlantic or pacific crossing
A little, but the quality of boat and the design make a much bigger difference than size. I'd do it in a 19' Flicka, but not a 19' Hunter. Hunter's are fine, but you would need a much bigger one to make sure it's engineered for ocean crossings.
@@BryanSailing That is a very interesting reply
I've been telling people for years that there are 20' sailboats (Flicka is always the one in my mind) that I would cross oceans in 40' sailboats that I would not
Yes, seaworthiness is most important consideration
