You two are absolutely amazing! Can't wait to watch the entire saga.

Love this! I can relate. My wife and i bought a 1972 Bertram MY with Detroits, that had been sitting a few years after the owner passed away.
Same as you, had to go through all systems, updated a lot, but kept her quite original. We live on her full time year round in Ct..keep up the great work! Following...

What a beautiful trip, couple and story. We need more youtube channels like this

[Ed-zxrf]

Very much looking forward to seeing you renovate this beautiful boat, wishing you all the best.

[PatRichardson-cf]

You both provide a great view of owning an older boat. I enjoy and look forward to your new adventures. Thank you.

I have watched a lot of videos like yours. So far I like your, Lets get it done attitude. The one thing that interests me the most is the 671 V 6 Detroit Diesel engines. My father was a Detroit Diesel mechanic. He worked on fishing boats out of Gloucester Mass. Summers I would work alone side him. So when you showed the pictures of the engine room a huge flood of great memories came back. I can't wait to see the processes and the finished vessel.

I love this story so much. I already watched it all on the other channel but it was still fun to re-watch this footage. Oh Wind Barker. LOL. The kids look so little!!!!

[martinlarsson-wahlberg]

Your telling a story is fantastic. I want more!

[TravisBon]

I love some wholesome channels like this

[jamesr.epstein]

i absolutely am in love with you guys. Doing what your doing. You have taken me back many years of my family boating on the Calif Delta. I live in Rio Vista, CA. We purchased a 26 ft Owens contessa. All wood and we (the whole family worked together for the next 11 years)making her beautiful and mechanically right. I'm waiting for the updates. Have a healthy new year.

[michaeloneill]

[MuzzleMike]

Tangaroa, God of the Ocean. You are my kind of people. Boats - particularly older ladies, are so much fun. We owned a lovely old Halverson down here in Sydney, Australia. Classics do provide both entertainment and adventure. I assume you have got to know the people at Paynes in Victoria. Quirky boat things need friendly people - a smile and a chuckle make for a happy boat.

[ВячеславКолесниченко-хм]

Love watching you and hearing your voices.
