Great stuff. Finally you can overcome the last hurdle that stops you from becoming an alcoholic. 😂
I guess this new generation is weak. Can't even handle a simple hangover. Idk when the last time I was hungover.
If you build a powerful jet boat id watch that
Only human trash has sponsors!
Replace the starters and alternaters or carry extra ones on board
Glad to see you’re able to get it going again 👍
For the love of all things put seacocks on the raw water intakes!
He is too dumb to do anything right. It's almost like he does zero research.
Yeah I am wondering why they don’t do that 🤷♂️ I am no boat person but to me that seems like the only logical solution. How else are going to be able to maintain and replace stuff. Flodding the boat each time don’t seem like a good solution to me.
I said the same exact thing when they installed the strainers 😂
I think you mean "Replace". If memory serves correct they had issues when refloating getting the original valves to shut. Which is why they plugged the line at the filter housing. I do pipe (storm, water, sewer) for a living and one thing I can tell you is, there's no guarantee any valve will open or close. Especially one that's been in use for a long time and not regularly used.
I prefer to call them seacocks. But yeah he is asking for it again. You have to have more than a hose to keep water out when the boats unattended.
I would replace thru-hulls with proper seacocks so you can close raw water flow for service, emergency, and storage. Also, the strainer you are using is a fine screen, designed for grey and fresh water systems. It's likely to cause trouble with clogging and not as resistant to cracking. Groco ARG strainers would be more appropriate.
You always want any line heading into a pump to be as large as possible including sea strainers.
This! I don't understand how we aren't corrected what sank the boat... You need a proper sea cock you can shut off at all through hull raw water intakes. Everytime I leave my boat in the Fall/Winter I close the seacock for my raw water washdown, the toilet, and the livewell. I have outboards so no intake for motors there.
My boat only has one through-hull raw water inlet. I never leave the boat with it open. My strainer is slightly above the waterline so no problem there.
@@Webleys do intakes typically have seacocks as well?
@@joeburns91 Normally any below waterline hull penetration will have a seacock/valve. I never trust hoses since they've been known to fail even when clamped with two clamps. In this case they seem to have never turned them off and were unable to turn them off when they tried. I don't know if that was because of ice in them but the fact that they changed those hoses with water still coming in indicates that they haven't fixed that serious problem. They will have to pull the boat out of the water to change the valves safely. Mine is a simple 1 inch ball valve, about $20.
I’m in the maritime industry and I share many commenters concerns about your interior. The wood will not ‘come back’. If you want any type of resale value on a boat of this quality do it right and replace wood. I’m even more concerned if your boat has wood stringers and bulkheads. Any where screws have penetrated the fiberglass/wood stringers or bulkheads for purpose of attaching hoses, clamps, etc the wood wicks the water and it’s trapped by the overlay of fiberglass and no amount of dehumidifying will suck the water out. Now for the coup de grace, two things kill boats, water ingress or fire. Wire looms on a sunken boats, old boats tend to corrode which causes electrical resistance, which manifest itself as heat. Melting wires, shorts in wire looms, possible fire. Now parting thought, while I admire your work and its entertainment value what happens when you try to sell your boat? You have a well documented video series of cool engine rebuilds and DIY ‘fixes’ and a sinking. Try to get that past a marine surveyor without proper marine rebuild documentation……not gonna happen. The boat then becomes very devalued or unsaleable. Jon Fife/Fife Maritime
I agree..your going about this with a car mechanics outlook..I really wish you would hve someone with a marine outlook on things.just to keep u out of future troubles..
Well, he said he's not selling the boat. But I think safety is the primary concern
I think it’s fairly evident any thoughts of resale went out the window with the engine swap.
When I 1st saw the sunk boat, that take it out of the water and remove the engines and make it into a Tiny House as it needs way too much work to keep it in a wet environment, it needs a full rewiring at the very least....
I would not trust that boat as the toilet waste has gone throughout the whole cabin... Anything in the tank is now on the wood etc....
This is why I mostly stopped watching B is for Build. Improvising stuff is fine when you're putting together a car for 24 hours of lemons but that sort of approach is reckless when it comes to stuff intended to be on the road or water on a regular basis.
The plywood in your electrical panel doors is delaminating. Water intrusion is rotting the wood. The veneer on your wall panels is also delaminating -- water has intruded between the plywood backing and the veneer. Nicest solution would be to strip off the veneer and glue new wood veneer on, using a rich wood burl veneer. Amazed how much stuff survived the sinking.
Survived and good long term.operation are 2 entirely separate things. The wiring that was in the water is junk. It may work now, but it will corrode from the inside out and fail continually until it's replaced.
Both of the JVC radios have a 10 amp fuse in the back of them. The wiring harness covers the fuse when it is plugged in. You may just need to replace the fuse.
that would be pretty funny if thats all thats broken
Usually there is a reset under the faceplate also. One of those tiny pin through the hole switches
If you're serious about saving this boat, you need to haul out your boat to the ground, heat and air out by using industrial blowers to blow everywhere for 1 week straight (none stop) and dehumidifier. The longer you wait the bigger mold problems you'll get in between the walls of your boat. Been there done that.
Yeah it’s a tough watch seeing them throw more money and time into this without fixing the walls (or even adding a stopcock system).
I’m a woodworker. Yep you can paint plastic. Clean it with rubbing alcohol. I recommend an adhesion promoter first then a good paint for plastic. The cabin doors need to be sanded lightly and stained. Any good clear finish will work - I like Deft. The sodden wood will likely need to be replaced I’ve never seen anything that saturated come back. I live about ten hours south of you - if you need help just holler.
Are they in Portland?
Hey buddy John from Central Tx SeaTow again, be prepared for issues with v drive transmission. Once water gets inside them it “generally” trashes the clutches. We do salvages/recoveries on the regular and anytime we get a boat with v drives and water got inside it they’re just cores for new ones. You might get lucky, but dont get discouraged if they don’t come back. I’m actually really shocked at how well you’re getting this boat back.
Yep, they should get the drives out and gone through.
You should plan to treat this like a house that has been flooded. Take all of the inside woodwork out, treat for mold, and the rebuild the interior. Just trying to do a superficial 'drying' and paint over the interior will likely lead to a whole bunch of mold buildup inside, under and behind cabinets and walls.
Should be scrapped
Yes, dangerous. Take this as an opportunity to rebuild newer/better!
The only acceptable choice is to try and salvage whats there. If it comes to a point where you cant use the boat because theres so much bad mold, THEN you can scrap it or tear it all out, at that point. But its a big $100,000+ loss of a perfectly good floating boat just having sank once and now brewing mold.
A couple things coming from a boater: 1.) The blowers will fail again, go ahead and replace them. 2.) Make sure to add or fix your seacocks, a must, check the one running to your cruise air as well. 3.) Make sure you left access to the strainers and they aren't mounted too low. 4.) Need a two way backflow preventer as well. 5.) Not sure if you have addressed your main fuel system, I might have missed if you did. 6.) Clean the bilge and under bilge pumps. 7.) Not much to do with the flood but check your shaft seals.
Like others have said, through hulls. They should be on ANY fitting that is open to the water. Those screens can be repaired, although finding a replacement screen may be difficult. Ozone generator for the interior. DO NOT be in the space that the ozone gen is operating in and ensure to ventilate after it has been used prior to occupying the space. The wood is dunzo. It will come to pieces over time. I've done enough flood/water damage repair to know water is the worst damage to repair. You see what you think is no damage, then in six months, damage. Gel Coat may be an option. Love the content!
17:53 NO! Those bilge pumps don't have anything like the capacity to pump out from a busted raw water hose!!
A couple of quick suggestions guys. Double clamping is a necessity and you've got that down however, you need to reverse each second clamp so that hose is evenly pinched to fitting on both sides. You definitely need some readily accessible seacocks for those raw water intakes too.
As a Florida state certified mold Remediator and Assessor with 20 years in the water damage industry. All of those materials with the amount of water they took….. trashed. It’s not the outside of the material you’re worried about, it’s what’s inside now. Dehus will only do so much with that amount of moisture. I’d love to assist as much as possible.
Chris just a thought, but you really need to scrap all that interior wood. No dehumidifier is every going to get it back to normal. Its not the side you can see, that will be the problem. It will be yhe back & layers you cant see or easily get to. Should really tear it all out & replace all the wood. The layers of laminate will mold & continue to seperate. Its not worth risking breathing mold & stuff. It's your boat & your life, so do what you want, but honestly read some of your comments from other people. They are telling you the same for a reason & some have even more info on what you should do. You absolutely need a seacock valve a.s.a.p on that boat! Love the video's regardles, take care brother!
As someone who has salvaged several boats in Alaska i recommend also that you have a set of keys for the boat hidden on board. It can save your boat if you get into a similar situation and the marina has knowledge of where they are. I have been able to prevent a total loss situation for 3 owners who were miles away but had keys onboard so we were able to run the boat aground to prevent the boat from sinking completely. You got lucky in that your boat was in fresh water in a river because if it was saltwater everything would be destroyed.
What do you call a 30 year old Italian yacht after it has sunk ? Junk ! 😂
My favorite content is boat content. Would love to see a new boat.
Love seeing her coming back to life!!! Excited to see your next boat adventure too!!!
Thanks for sharing all the information and details of your boat. I love boats and will be purchasing a new this summer. It is great to see and hear you take on all the components and how they work. Awesome video.
I’m certified in water damage remediation. Your inside is screwed. It’s going to be mold central.
I never comment on videos but even I took the time to explain that the boats only chance of being salvaged required an extensive drying process. SMH buddy doesn’t listen to good advice
I'd advise you to tow it to deep water and re sink it.
Amazing stuff as always. I was absolutely gutted when I saw what happen to this project. You're an inspiration and a reminder what you can do when you focus on what you can control and trying to let what you can roll off your back. I would certainly love to see another boat project!
Hell yeah! I'd love to see a from scratch boat build.
Great job with the repairs so far! The boat looks fantastic after the wash! I am totally down for another boat build series!!!
I want to see you guys build a boat absolutely, it makes a nice change from cars and its something new, loving the shows, thanks.
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
That is great progress! I'd definitely be down for more boat!
Love to see more boat!! Thanks. Stay safe!
So good to see u guys back.. progress on the boat seems all positive.. so happy for u guys
Can’t believe how positive you guys are ! Best of luck 🍀
Oh wow, I love the boat content. I would love to see you guys build a boat. I have to say, your attitude after the sinking is very commendable. I would be absolutely gutted and likely pissed off.
So stoked to see the boat on the water when I went for a walk by the river while I was in the city for work! Happy it's floating!
BUILD THE BOAT!!! Love this series!
I found this channel because of the boat build - and whilst I feel sad for you guys that it sunk, as a boat owner myself its amazing / reassuring to see that its not the end of the world. As for a boat build from scratch - hell yes do that! Its on my bucket list to do - though I know I don't really have the skills to do it - so it would make an amazing series to watch. Good luck guys.
Same here! Found the channel through the boat build. Like with most boats, Crazy drama with this one.
Amazing so much survived, quite frankly. Thanks for sharing.
Port and Starboard!!!!! But, glad to see that most was salvageable and functional! Staying tuned for another boat series....
It's essentially laminate. Formica is just a brand. My company sells Wilsonart laminate and you can cut it to size and glue it back on. There are many different colors and designs to choose from, including custom designs. You've got the skill to do an easy fix like this. Good luck
23:59 Amazing to see you were able to dry the interior of your boat when i first saw it it looks like thousands and thousands of dollars of interior renovation but i was wrong but anyways i hope you are able to control the possibility of molds growing in thr nooks and cranies, good job so far 👍 congratulations
You can leather wrap (upholster) the breaker panel cabinet and it’ll give it a brand new more modern look. Hard to do it in the galley because of the louvers but you can leave the louver part of it un-upholstered and it might look alright. Did it to my boat and it came out looking amazing. Did the entire ship except the galley though. Good luck
Great work guys. I knew you could do it 💪🏼
Hey Chris , the paint is a melamine paint , but by the looks of the staining on the birdseye panels, that looks like real maple , but with out actually seeing it in person it’s difficult to tell , laminate usually won’t take on water. Staining like that?
But double check with a local cabinet shop and see what it actually is and if it’s plastic laminate ( aka countertops material)
Then scuff it and use the melamine paint 😎
Hell ya! would love to see a new boat build!
This is the only channel I know that does boats and cars together, I'm a Naval Architect and Yacht Designer but also a massive petrolhead! So I would be mega stoked to see you build your own boat. And ide be happy to help/work with you on any boat project if I can be of help.
Hell yes to a new boat build!❤
Thank you for B-is-for-Boat. I have a very similar boat (a Sea Ray with 2 Cat diesel engines). In response to recent events, the first thing I did was to buy 2 leak sensors and a thermal sensor in order to be warned in good time about problems with water. It takes me about 15 minutes to get to my boat. I hope I don't have to experience such surprises.
Warm greetings from Germany, Cologne
Highly recommend the Fusion stereo system, you can have multiple head units with multiple zones meant for applications like yours with and interior cabin space/outside/bedroom/ect. Very slick and professional system at a very good price. Also made by and owned by Harmon so it will integrate into your chartplotter.
Any build is perfect...i especially love watching boat builds and repair along with cars, rv's....LETS GO!!!!
Love the boat content! Can't wait for you to build another one!
I spoke this video into existence! Checking every day for the last week if there was an update video 😅
well done sir! skills and perseverance will get you very, very far!
Yes, you can sand and re-stain the venier for the interior, that would be better than any paint of vinyl wrap. I also agree you need a ball valve on your raw water intakes, just for another line of safety. As for the Holley screens, I'd send them in the fix them, they are fixable. I also agree with the ozone generator for the cabin, they are great. You guys are doing a great job. oh, you might have gremlins in the boat in the future if you don't replace all of the wiring, and then again, I've seen people get lucky. so good luck.
he has seacocks that he decided not to fix last time the boat was out of the water. That is the whole reason the boat sank in the first place.
For the painting of the walls and cabinets, use killz primer. Used it many times on Formica and veneer… krylon spray paint works better( quicker, smoother finish and more resilient) than rolling on a new paint over the killz.
Wrap the Formica. I work in banking and they just did all the old teller lines of the branches. The wrap looks just like wood. Instead of demolishing and installing new. They wrapped them. Came out solid.
Definitely would love to see you guys build another boat 👍👍👍👍
Seeing two boats in the Portland Marina would be awesome. I think with your creativity and Oscars' know how, you guys could put together a pretty sweet amphibious car.
I'm so excited to hear about another boat build. Best content you have made since the BRZ build.
I’d love to see another boat series!!
Hi guys love watching your videos. In regards to your bilge pumps i personally would mount 2 extra pumps slightly above the others so they aren't actually in the water. If in future it would leak they wouldn't have water in them frozen from the cold conditions and would therefore keep the boat afloat. Your boat should be plugged into shore power to keep batteries charged so you never have to worry about them going flat. Obviously i would also have an alarm wired in to let you know that those pumps are running so you have a warning that there is the possibility of a leak on the boat.
Another great video! I love this channel!
I used bulllseye 1-2-3 primer when I painted my laminate cabinets and an old Ikea bed. Pretty decent adhesion/chip resistance. Prime with that, then top coat with whatever.
Well done for fixing your boat 👍🇬🇧
Great to see a video, personally the more BASIC a boat the SAFER it is....
Try and keep everything as basic as possible....
I would personally run fresh cabling to everything... Might be good for now and slowly die off as wires fail internally....
excited for the new boat!
Yes B is for Boat, I think it would be nice to see a new project boat build from you, one that you can surf behind with your surf board ;) Too bad about the damage to the interior, but that will always be a thing, if Once the wood is black, it is difficult or impossible to remove it. What you could try for the ceiling is leather penetration paint to give it a newer shade. (or just leather paint that goes over it) from Angelus Brand. Could give a nice result. However, it is quite a hassle to paint the entire ceiling.
this must have been friday or saturday it was so nice, I got some work done on my old malibu boat too, out in Troutdale! Looking good guys
You've done a good job so far with heating the interior and running a dehumidifier, but with warming temperatures your boat may be in danger of developing mold and/or mildew.
Buy yourself an ozone generator and do a complete decontamination of the passenger compartment.
-best wishes as always
glad some stuff working!
I am really happy for you that your boat looks like it is going to be fine now :3 when i first saw the episode when it was under the water, my heart broke for you and i was really sad, BUT!! now i am really happy that it looks like most of it looks like it will work! im proud of you guys for being able to go in and fix problems with your builds :3
Def a yes for another boat build 👍
To remove the staining on wood, you first need to remove the clear coat off of it. Next, you make a solution of oxalic acid and water at a ratio of two tablespoons per quart of water. You then brush the solution onto the wood and let it fully dry. After it dries, wash it thoroughly to get the acid off of it. Once that has dried, you can sand it lightly and refinish it or apply another coat of oxalic acid solution if you still have dark spots. You want to apply it to the whole piece, not just the darkened areas. Oxalic acid is also called wood bleach.
Also wear a respirator
Scratch boat build sounds great!
I think there might just be water between the layers of the screen. The LCD panel itself is probably hermetically sealed, but there are a few layers of polarizers and light diffusers that are basically plastic sheets, water would wick right in between them and be an absolute bear to get out without disassembling the screen itself.
I'd love to see you guys build your own boat!
I’d love to see some more boat content or any other boat projects. That’s would be cool 👍
All things considered this was a nice save on the boat. I would love to see a boat build from scratch!
Another boat project would be great. Glad your current boat is in much better condition than anticipated.
We just had to take out cabinets down on our boat trying to kill all the mold...good work!
Use cellulose lacquer on the vaneer if you want to keep a retro wood look. It can probably fix even the cabinet doors chipping.
If I was local, I would come out do wisper wall system on ceiling and walls. That would be best idea tip I would give. Would add acoustic sound to interior too! It’s 1/2 insulation with stretched fabric. U can do ceiling in one piece!
When I restored my boat I used peel and stick textured wallpaper. Not only was it super easy/cheap to do , but gives the interior a modern look. At the least, I would do a focal wall in the same tone as the wall paint.
One of the most positive people on CZcams Chris, nothing seems to get him down
Think it’s time to get a heated indoor garage for the winter time. Also I just had an idea. Build a DIY floating insulated greenhouse thing. I know the water itself will be cold but it’d definitely be warmer than being exposed to the cold air in the winter. I mean you’ve got a spare slip now that would be a kick ass diy series dedicated to protecting this kickass boat.
I agree with @JRs-Garage about the panels being real wood veneer. It seems appropriate for a luxury yacht manufacturer to those materials. You can use the inside of the cabinet doors to try different remedies such as sanding/staining/finishing (even using a darker stain to hide discoloration). With wrapping or painting as plan B, you have nothing to lose in trying except your time. Talk to a cabinet shop about your options.
I can’t get enough of the boat content. Bring on a new build!
You could use specialist cabinet paint, it has a seperate additive that you mix in as a hardner. Fully cured in a week and pretty bullet proof. Or just vinyl wrap.
Would absolutely love to see another boat build
Another boat build! Letsgo!
New boaters can learn so much from these videos. Pretty much do exactly the opposite of anything you see. Unless you're making ad revenue on the videos, of course. In which case, the truth is you don't really have to care about the boat itself. It's just a vehicle for content.
Yea bro build a boat, lots of fun and I’m sure you will nail it. If not still fun to watch. Fun times ahead
Acrylic (water based) urethanes have very good bonding properties with or without a primer. They're at the point where an oil based paint or primer is needed plus oil/solvent based products are being phased out/outlawed in many states. But if that is an actual wood veneer, you might need a tannin blocking primer but if it's some composite or formica you should be fine.
Love to see a boat build 🙏🏾
Hell yeah, another boat build 🔥🔥🔥🔥
100% on the boat build, love this stuff
More boat content is a must!
B is for buzzed while building, I'd love to watch you and your team do a fun buzzed or drinking till complete or completely drunk small safe fun drinking build project.
Chris repainting the old wood grain Formica is a great idea, pure white or ultra pale grey would look far more modern..
It’s always great to embark on a new boat project !!! The holes in your knowledge of boats is too great however. Please have some consultants to improve your perspective
The gas detector sensors can be sensitive to water - it might not be the gauge itself, and the sensor is much cheaper to replace. I’ve had to replace mine when it got covered in water. Just a thought.
