- Billy talks bilge, we run into some communication issues, and the bottom finally gets a fresh coat of paint! Mountain Myst is starting to look mighty fine! If you missed any of our $100 boat refit series make sure you go back and get caught up so you know what she looked like before all our blood, sweat, and tears went into her ;)

Running Gear Primer: "TotalProtect Epoxy Barrier Coat Primer"
Running Gear AF Paint: "Outdrive AF Prop and Outdrive Antifouling Paint"
Bottom paint we used: "Total Boat Spartan Multi season"

First page of my rule-a-matic bilge pump install manual, "no check valves". Boat builder installed one anyways and the bilge pump never worked reliably.
Ditto. I put one in the engine exhaust on one of my boats. Cost me about $6k. Expensive lesson.
Glad to see younger people with common sense and good work ethic. Boat looks beautiful
Watching her come back to life is so amazing, the two of you have an incredible work ethic.
Many women I have known would have done nothing but complain about the work Sierra is doing. Sierra is a great worker . You two make a top notch couple
Many women I know are better than men in practically everything. So I guess you just don't know the right women.
Billy's talents are unlimited!
Sierra, I'm just making fun, you know you rock!
You have to love a good edit.
Loads of men would complain just as much. Yeah. These guys are a great team.
Lol ~ truth, but does your wife of any female family read your comments.
All they have to do is look at your CZcams channel.
I’m amazed at the level of knowledge these two young kids know in regards to redoing this boat. There not afraid to tackle anything.
She looks lovely. I can hear her saying "thank you"
Whom ever eventually buys this boat is going to have many hours of video to review and feel good about the job you have done. I have been impressed with your knowledge from the first video of this series. I also love seeing the Instagram videos of you enjoying your hard work.
Not into single hulls, but yall have done an excellent job, restoring the old tub back to life.
Something to do while waiting for your cat.
Great progress. I love your freshly painted bottom!🤣😂😅
She is looking amazing 👍. You two are a great team……and Sierra has such a great attitude about everything. 😎
Have to admit I thought this was a bad idea. But of course I'm not them, so couldn't choose for them. But now it seems like a great idea. Mainly, cuz it got them back into the boating world, which is why most of their viewers subscribed. And, seeing the transition from something that was esthetically ugly to now almost esthetically gorgeous has been something to behold. You guys completely rock. :-)
Quite impressive, kids!
It is a pleasure watching Sierra crawling around in such tight locations. And by "pleasure," I mean I am so completely glad its not me in there!! Not even close to trying it anymore. Ah youth. Enjoy it while you can, both of you are so flexible and fit.
Looks great. Don't forget to have some fun along the way. Projects like this can take a toll on most people.
The thinking that went into the bilge pump system is a credit to your ingenuity. Spot-on! Yes, by all means, clear out that sludge. It will also look better.
and paint it so it looks pretty and is easier to keep clean
I am impressed by all the care you have put into the restoration
That extra pump on the timer is genius
You did such a great job on the bottom paint. 1st, I love the color, 2nd when you took the tape off of the waterline.... it looked SO nice! The Mountain Myst is looking so much better. Congratulations! Hard work pays off!
Watching you two put so much blood, sweat and tears into this huge project is amazing and both of your pure candor of it is so enjoyable to watch, no bs just the way it is. Looking good.
Both of you are super energetic, I don't know if I would have the drive to rehab an old boat when you have a new one being built.
We know you tired that's a lot of hard work and the two of you make a great team that thing looks like it's brand new. We know the video work is hard to do but don't keep us in the dark we just love watching you guys work hard it's entertaining and sometimes you get feedback from us as well that keeps you encouraged and working hard
I can’t wait to see a episode with your engine room and ford power plants. I did see the teaser 59 seconds. Lol👍
That boat look sooooo good
Guys, you guys need to buy a communications set. These are great for setting the anchor, pulling the anchor, docking and leaving the dock, communicating from a stormy deck to the cockpit, and communicating through the hull. Get a set. You'll love them. You pay for what you get. Crappy units are cheap. Good, quality units cost good money. Spend the money and get a good set!!
They ought to make a pair of tapered flexible strips to fill the croove in the paint can with!
What I have always done in the past is take a flat screwdriver and punched it through the bottom of the lip in about four or five places. That allows paint that goes into the lip to drain back into the can, and doesn't interfere with the lid from sealing..
Guys the boat is looking awesome
Neat solution for replacing the check valves with anti-siphon devices. Your knowledge and problem-solving (and problem-preventing) skills are impressive!
Mountain Myst has captured my heart.💖
I can understand being excited about a fresh bottom. 😊
How rewarding to pull the tape off...Wow..looks so good.
You can use a wet/dry vacuum to get the gunk out of your bilge, just add some water and stir it all up so the gunk is dispersed into the water and go to town with the vacuum😁
The hard work continues to pay off!!! What a gorgeous transformation!
Learn something everyday, today it was the rationale for anti syphon loops instead of check valves.
If it is not should be part of the standard checklist for marine surveyors it was added to our list.
Omg the communication breakdown through the throughholes was hilarious. You could have done a Seinfeld-tier comedy bit with that. Btw, why do they call it "muriatic acid" when it's just hydrochloric acid? I never understood that. Seems like you'd have to wait longer to get any appreciable help with the hard growth.
Muriatic acid is slightly weaker and has impurities...hydrochloric acid is stronger and pure.... So it's the same but different...
Each new video we get a new boat. Great Job GUYS
Your videos bring moments of joy and angst recalling my boating experience the mid 80's through the mid 90's, owning 3 different trawler styles in various states of repair - but in all cases, there is always some level of maintenance required during the boat's life. Thanks!
Fantastic. Awesome job. What a big transition. You guys should be so proud of your work.
I hear jetty girl barking u r doing a good job 👍
The troller looks amazing. The 2 of you do really good thorough work. You are definitely doing the defever justice. I've always liked trollers. Especially the older ones. Alot of manufacturers don't make boats like they used to.
LOOKIN GREAT KIDDOS. Great work. Keep having fun.
Just joined your crew. Jeannette and I have owned two trawlers over a 25 year period. The last was a 47 foot Tradewinds. We lived on it for almost 12 years. We spent most of our time on the east coast of the USA and months at a time in the Bahamas, mostly Exumas. We have since sold our big boat and own a waterfront home in the Florida Keys. We have been following you since your engine rebuild in the Caribbean. I love your passion and enthusiasm for the boating lifestyle.
I sometimes want to sell everything and move back aboard. We miss the lifestyle and numerous cruising grounds.
Question......We have looked and follow many blogs of Catamarans. When will your boat be done?
Thanks for the entertainment. We love watching you guys.
Jerry and Jeannette
Tricks for keeping paint out of the can lid lip groove: I see you've in the past used the tape method - cover a part of the can lip with 2 pieces of tape to form a vee to pour over. I've sometimes had trouble getting the tape to stick well to the can lip. The other method is save a can lid off empty can and cut out a hole in center part (close to an edge) of the lid.. knock the lid onto the paint can and pour through that hole. Make the hole big enough for your brushes you might dip into the paint and can then scrape excess off brush against that hole in the lid. Hope I make sense and save someone some trouble of keeping paint or whatever out of the can lip.
Oh man, the thru hull split sequence had us laughing. 100% how parts of our refit are going!😂
I'm sure the skills came from all the work she has done. But Sierra seems to be skilled and has a happy work attitude. You are both doing a great job. Looks good guys.
It looks good, making progress, I know it’s taking longer than you thought, but you’ll be proud of it when it’s done
Looking GREAT guys!!! Hard work pays off!
Even though I follow your Insta and have seen her in all her glory, I still come here to watch the process. I'm so proud to see such an unsightly forgotten boat restored. Great job kiddos. 💪
Things look better all the time. You guys do great work.
Love you both, congratulations on your progress, keep up the great work. 😎👍,things are looking great.👍
She looks wonderful! Great job!
This is the kind of project that whatever the money put it, the resale value will be greater. All the bottom rudder work looks great. The whole boat is shaping up into something very fine.
Congrats Guy's on getting the Boat Bottom clean and Painted.. looking like a great Boat.. lv the views..
Such a great team
You guy's have an amazing amount of boat flipping skills, that's rare. Love the way you took this on, it's been a great adventure.
Billie, she is really looking GOOD! (And the boat, too!) 😉
WOW IT LOOK LIKE NEW BILLY. CAN'T WATE TO SEE HER AGAIN CRUSING IN THE WATER HEADING NORTH.
It's not a $100 boat any more, great job!!!
Respect for what you accomplish, greetings from the Netherlands
Hay Billy you and your helper HA HA are doing a fine job......Keep the videos coming ok? I love it......
Really good colour choice guys,looking excellent. Got to be happy at the result.
If only there were pocket devices/headphones for wireless communications. Lol
You two are doing great work! 😎
Amazing comittment to bettering this boat, blessings...m
Can`t beat a clean bottom !
Good job guys xx
Looks good you just putting one thick coat or 2 👍👍👍👍
WOW thats amazing, that bird shit really takes it to another level, na looks good. Doesnt look like a 100 dollar boat now. Well done
simply amazing transformation. Thank you both!
She looks beautiful guys. An awesome paint job!! 😊👌👌
.... those are the best jobs, the ones you walk by and there is no mistaking that they are done, finito, and crossed off the list, and boo-yah! ..... at the start of the vlog, you showed the painted, all lookin good .. can you do a flickering thing that starts with what you started with and flickering that ends up with "good lookin" just an idea .... thx for sharing ... as always .. never quit dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
Awesome job
An excellent video - as always! SUGGESTION: at the beginning of the video (3:54 - 4:-08) make sure your float switch is not underneath that cable/hose (red color, I think) or if you do get water in your bilge, you risk a malfunction of the switch.
Looking great guys
This.
This is why you can buy a discount hull with confidence. It's a matter of calendar management. Maybe capital management but that still a time a factor.
I want to see this dadgum boat done. What you two have done so far is pretty amazing. I have to be a patient bear I guess!!!
Wow, I really like that green bottom paint. Nice work.
You guys are really doing a great job. I cannot wait to see how it all turns out. Looking forward to you watching your first trip once everything is done.
As always I left you a big old thumbs up and look forward to the next video.
Another reason for a check valve is so the pump remains primed at all times.
Looking really good, great job you two!
You two do amazing work. That boat ain't selling again for $100.00.
Walkie talkies can be handy when working on two different sides of a wall, hull etc...
To quote Billy for many episodes. "That looks AMAZING". Awesome transformation. Well thought out bilge pump as well. She is sure looking good. Where is Jetty?. You both are such determined sailors. Not to bring up a sore subject, but any news on the cat build? Be well.
Great job on the prop’s 🛥
OMG. Wow, what a difference that bottom paint made. The boat is looking great. I can't wait to see the interior. I catch a glimpse of cabinet doors needing varnish every couple videos. That boat is going to look at nice. New outside, and inside. Matt I ask why you didn't use Prop Speed on the propellers? But you guys put lots of hard work. But the end product each video looks fantastic.
The boat is looking amazing.
Its looking good guys, congrats on a good job, wishing you continued success!
She has came along pretty quick
No one enjoys a bottom job, but it has to be done before you hit the wet stuff.
great update 2x👍
If you have to change your pump that supplies water to the engine and Generator I find the best one is to use a swimming pool pump they're usually mostly plastic and they don't corrode and it gives you a strainer before before the pump
These boat refurbishments are so exciting to me. I love what y’all are doing. 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks so great! Thanks for sharing.
I know you guys are all done with that boat and cruising around! I want to see those videos.
1.3K+ like, 8,495th view - congrats on getting to the clean bottom part. Looking good.
Great paint job guy and gal. For me, this has been one of your best episodes. Even better than your earlier tri-Maran ones. Can't wait to see the deck painting one coming....
I was a boatswains mate years ago. Nothing you are doing goes against anything I've been a part of. Great job!
Excited for the aft deck paint! Bottom looks great 👍
Good progress, the boat is looking really pretty!
You guys could easily make some serious profit when done. The boat is looking FANTASTIC ‼️ ‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸
Get some of the walkie talkie headsets. They call them marriage savers for a reason.
Not a walk-in talkie, as u need to press buttons to talk all the time they need their hands free to work just use their phones on speaker would have done the job easier!
looks so Good
Great job you guys
We all love your videos and the boat is looking good 😊👍 🇺🇲
