Get rid of the steel tanks, and use blatters, you can get them in various sizes 😅 even for fuel i believe, but I'm not quite sure of that.

That is some serious electrolysis damage there..... DDSpeedShop anyone ?

The lower hull plates are too thin. Cut the bottom hole plates next to the centerline, probably over the whole length of the ship and replate. That is the only way to do it right. Or else you will be patching for decades.

Awesome job cleaning this mess. If you want to refurbish that yellowed out toilet seat... just place the parts it in a see through container with a lid (for this size, i suggest you get one of these countainers that is supposed to store clothes under you bed ). Submerge them in a solution of water and hydrogen peroxide (12% is enough) and put the container at a sunny place (if there is no sun this time of year, put it in a cardboard box which insides are covered with kitchen grade aluminium foil and palce a "halogen !!!" lamp inside that box. After 1-2 days, that seat looks like a new one.

Dear SBS couple I would really like to watch the restoration of a steel yacht. But this vessel seems too far gone already. Please kindly allow me to suggest something: This long term and in the end expensive project is not suitable for you. Simply because of the fact, that you two are old already. Therefore the most reasonable thing to do would be: Gutt the boat completely out and sell as much as you can. Then sell the hull metal to a scrapyard. 2) Why still having this way too loud and therefore annoying and distracting "music"? Please turn down the volume and use it as a background music (if any). Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.

Dear SBS couple. 😱 Good grief! How about less talking and more working? Who do you think needs to know what you packed into your van? 2) Why still this way too loud and therefore annoying and distracting "music"? I would love to watch the restoration/repair of this steel yacht. Please turn the volume down and use it as a background music (if any). Best regards, luck, health and wisdom in particular.

Why you didn't put your vacuumcleaner on the floor when emptying the grey water tank? When pumping liquids you should always keep height difference as minimal as possible in order to have maximum suction power available. And besides you should have kept the rubbish away from your galley.

Cut up the tanks and get rid of them. Replace with smaller removable plastic tanks once the hull is repaired

I was actually relieved to see that the electric installation does look tidy and not even too bad - apart from that broken dc-dc converter of course. Thanks for that episode and please keep them coming! 😊

If it were me I would cut the bottom of the hull from the out side more or less the full lenght and replate the I've seen it done before, what you are doing you will never get to everything, I can see it's to thin your fighting against it, working from the outside is far better and more straight forward,I wish you well.

Dear SBS guy. 😱 Good grief! Why this way too loud and therefore annoying and distracting "music"? I would love to watch the restoration/repair of this steel yacht. Please turn the volume down and use it as a background music (if any). I'm looking for a "channel substitute" because Sailing Melody unfortunately switched from restoring a steel yacht to a fibreglass sailing boat. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.

You have taken on a massive project, something I would not dream of. But good luck and keep up with the content.

I was first to post today but it is not showing in the comments. Early comment started with letting you know about the laser device sold on Amazon that welds, cuts, and strips/cleans surfaces and does a great job. I asked if that was not in the budget as the time it will save might shorten this project to the point you will live long enough to enjoy your boat. I also stated patch hull holes with larger plates to avoid patchwork of using small pieces. As stated in an earlier video, this is not a small project and progress is so slow you might not live long enough to take it into open waters. You need to bring on a reasonable group to assist. Have fun and stay safe.

Absolutely super. I love your channel. illegitimi non carborundum (don't let the bastards grind you down).

cut tanks up renew with flexie plastic baz

i know you want to clean under the tanks but everything you need to do to the hull can be done on the outside

Almost ready for a boat party

I love a project, but that is very far gone. Good luck, some task ahead

Two bathrooms, posh git!

if you got that kind of money buy something thats seaworthy your wasting time on that derelict

That Capacitor looks like it took a lightening strike. the 24 to 12V inverter your looking at is very common and shouldn't be hard to replace. your output at 12V is 30 amps. not to bad, again depends on what your going to do with it. In todays age of electronics LED lighting and inductive cook tops along with a host of everyday appliances are offered in 12V. That invertor would most likely handle the entire boat for interior lighting if you rework everything into LEDs (Not the exterior lighting spot lights and whatever else you are going to use). From what we've seen since you started I would think 80 to 90 percent of the electrical will need to be rewired. Just my guess. Good luck! and we'll be watching as you move forward with your revival!

There are reliable flexible bag tanks made to replace metal tanks. I have two 25 gallon flexible tanks that I purchased in 1996 for my old power boat. They expand and conform to the space provided. They're very durable. The boat lives in Maine, and I use non toxic antifreeze in them every winter .

I reckon you might be better off cutting some strategic holes along the hull at its weakest points to remove and repair the services and rust....🤔👍Good luck mate !!!...👍

Can you not put, smaller plastic water tanks in, instead ?

Great video been looking forward to it , such a shame you cannot get the boat home to work on save all the travelling 😊

Sorry mate but this boat is a mess . How about completely stripping her out top to bottom , chuck everything in skips and start again .

the item you cannot identify is a float switch, it might feed a gauge or just a a light to tell you the tank is full

Good luck

Wow what a work, but I love the Valk😊 I Will follow your work💪

😱😱😱

Hate to be negative but the common trap of wanting a boat to big with too little money and or time. Buy something smaller in better condition and stop living in fantasy land, your old and a dreamer, not 20 and brilliant/rich.

Cool project! I subbed!

I admire you for this massive project you’ve taken on board. Do you know if her engines are serviceable, also I would have thought that the best way to deal with the badly damaged rusted parts would be to replace them with fabricated steel, wielding, grinding and smoothing them ready for painting. I’d love to know the yachts history, when she was built and how it came to be in the state it is. Just listened to your update about who built the boat, thanks and keep up the good work.

Where is big Blue it has been weeks sins last vid

Deep pockets brave, it's there for a reason. Rot and not a investment. You could buy better for the resto cost. UA-cam must pay well 🤣

STOP,,,,You need to call a Welder up, its as you said a rust bucket. Thats from a professional Welders point of view! Good points the musics better..

Good luck with your restoration, looking forward to following along!

There are other manufacturers.. but a few hundred pounds spent now will be a great saving in the long run ! 🙂👍

Great Project !! 🙂👍 .. I looked at her in Milford Haven a couple of years ago .. maybe more ? .. I’m more a sail boat kind of guy but I’ve restored small ships 🙂 my proudest achievement was in 1974 .. I spent 18 months living aboard and restoring Lillian 2 .. she’s a 96ft 1918 twin screw diesel motor yacht .. plenty on google if you search 👍 Anyway .. my advice to you is buy some old scaffolding stairs .. and build a really usable staircase up into the back deck of the boat … I’ll pop by if I may when I’m next down in Pembrokeshire .. I’ve got a house in Solva and I often pop over to Milford.. I’m a big fan of Sampson boat video blog .. Leo is an ex musician and his music is spot on .. !! Also I sold the old steel barge to Chris on restoring Rusty barge Video Blog I’ll send you a link .. he’s loving his project .. both blogs are worth watching for inspiration 😀👍 All the best .. Frank

I love the music, great video ❤

Too much waffling. I endured the first one but this second one bore the shit out of me. Whoever advised you to pad out as much as you can advised you wrong. Unsubscribed

I have no interest in boats. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your journey with us all!

Milford Haven, beautiful part of the country.

Stop the background music🤡🤡

Walk away before there is also a hole in your wallet and heart. This is a bottomless money pit.

She was a nice boat

No more background music please. Not needed as it's all about the content.
