I totally agree about blue being the worst colour gel coat for a boat my 1972 concorde florida ski boat which I'm restoring is blue and it's absolutely faded to White with a few patches of blue
It’s definitely a big problem with blue and red gelcoat, a friend of mine sent me this process: i did the following with my mastercraft G3 compound to get the oxidation then meguiar's ultimate polish then a coat of autoglym rapid ceramic spray. The autoglym rapid ceramic spray saves it fading and the yellow stains coming back as quick
@BoatzUK thank you for the advice I've still got a massive amount to learn as this is my first boat restoration and I do think at times I've bitten off more than I can chew but I just keep reminding myself that once it's done it'll be a massive achievement
@grahamwilman1896 definitely worth it in the end, we buy boats and punish ourselves with all the work we take on, soon as you take it out on the water you completely forget about the pain you went through to get it there 🙏🛥️⛵️
Those jump packs can only usually be used as a powerpack through a usb if there is one. When you plug the clips in, the little box puts it into jump mode (charges a capacitor?) and you usually have a minute or so to connect them and start the car before you have to disconnect the cables and start again. That might be what the beeping is - a warning that it has timed out.
Ohh that makes perfect sense, I just didn’t have a clue what it was doing, needs a battery onboard so I don’t have this problem 🤣🙏⛵️ thank you for sharing 🙏
I completely agree, my friend just messaged me after watching this video and sent me a before and after of his ski boat that was pink instead of red gelcoat and the after was like a new boat 🙏⛵️⛵️🛥️
Thanks for the shout out Cliff, a new video will be going up on my channel soon, with a bit of a disaster included. With the starbright hull cleaner, I find keeping it wet and using a brush to "agitate" it makes it work better. Boat names, how about "kinky claire"? In honour of your lovely wife, obviously 🫣
I recommend Fat Tommo's channel as well. He does reviews of slipway's. Not many boating people do. Great for trailer sailor people. Many othe great videos, too.
@@BoatzUKbut originally from the North East, hence my accent being completely different here in the west 😂 don’t think I’ll ever get rid of my geordie accent 😅
Hello from Ireland again bro. That "Ocean Star" is a lovely bit of kit. It would be perfect for the River Shannon, in Ireland lol. It must be Worth a Fortune. Good girl, Claire, it's wicked to have a supportive Wife, or, nothing happens lol. Thats a Good camera you are using, we can see all those stains. Well did, that Wax is the business. Brilliant satisfaction. I don't know about that blue, maybe wrap that part, lol. Lovely boat 🚢. Great video as always 🙏 🙏👌👏👏👏👏👏 P.S Ski-Boat my Arse, its bloody Massive. I would love to see that at full tilt, looks Fast, its a lovely thing. Massive engine lol. She looks great on the trailor. Great video as always matey. Thanks so much. 🙏🙏👌👏👏👏👏💯🥰
Thank you very much, I do love the Aquastar she is a great boat, I will have to come over to the Shannon next year when we are back in the water, I was just reading the pilot notes for the Shannon earlier funny enough, and yes I agree that Claire supports my adventures and doesn’t mind getting stuck in which is also a bonus, thank you as always for your support 🙏🙏⛵️🛥️
Hi Cliff great video, your boats are so nice, it's such a shame we have to have a winter spoils everything!! Anyway I'd call the £1 boat the Sunken Sandy lol 😂 cheers 🥂 Have a great weekend
If you look on the booster pack leads near the LED’s there should be a button that says “Boost” , if you press that, it will power the pump, but only for 30 seconds. The pack needs to detect 12 volts before it will supply a permanent feed.
Yep as @sgw8903 said....they rely on sensing a 12v signal/circuit before discharging..BUT many (inc my NORCO) have an 'overide' feature that allows it to effectivly become a 12v power supply.
How about 'One Thousand Pound Yacht' ! Told you there was no such thing as a £1 yacht. Or just B.O.A.T. (break out another thousand) 😂 My boat costs me £1600 a year before I even start, looking to sell it and start going to the pub!
@BoatzUK I'd get a cover on it, tarpaulin, or plastic sheet over a simple frame. My boat has a small solar panel charging a leisure battery, which could keep your pump working. You really need all the compartments draining into the bilge, so the pump can do it's job
There's a very beautiful small classic boat called Shilling somewhere in the subtropical provinces of England. In that order it might be appropriate spin away a name, for this white floating coffin, proudly carry the gentile name Penny. Penny might be short for Penelope and is believed to be a duck in ancient Greek. That it somehow is a tiny worthless coin used by the infidels in England is completely unintentional.
this is all i've been able to think about, and i just can't think of anything that means cheap and rhymes with Submarine/Sub. the best i've come up with is Sub-standard or Sub-par
'Second Chance' could be a good name for the £1 yacht.
Name it Sandy as you had so much fun with sanding
12:50 its because you need to connect to a battery. And help jumpstart.
USB however can power the bilge pump.but you need an adapter.
Thank you for this info 🙏⛵️⛵️
"Lazerus" The boat that rose again
Buff and wrap the blue line it’s brilliant
Moneypit could be a good name 😊
Love the speedboat accellerating 25x😂
🤣🤣🙏⛵️

‘Davit Ex’ - just thinking back to those lovely davits 😉
🤣🤣 you can never forget them davits 🙏⛵️⛵️
So glad they're your boats. 👍

That product the pink stuff would probably get those marks off
I agree edward
I will have a go at that thank you 🛥️🙏🙏⛵️
Name Stirling One 😊
One pound Yacht "Hope and a Prayer"
Or "Hope & a Prayer" from Canadian viewer.
Use 'OWATROL' Gelcoat and Surface colour restorer, it works really well. By the way, red is the worst gelcoat colour for fading.
I completely agree, my friend just messaged me after watching this video and sent me a before and after of his ski boat that was pink instead of red gelcoat and the after was like a new boat 🙏⛵️⛵️🛥️

In honour of your lovely wife, obviously 🫣
Not a problem Tommo, looks forward to it, I will give that a go, and don’t think Claire will go for that name 🤣🤣⛵️🙏🛥️
@BoatzUK how about "cheap slapper" because the boat was cheap and it slaps in the waves 🤣
@fat_tommo_goes_boating 🤣🤣
@BoatzUK I will stop there, otherwise I will get into trouble 🤣
@@fat_tommo_goes_boating you will 🤣🤣❤️

That jump starter needs to detect power from a battery before it will output through those clamps..
Thank you for that, guessed I was definitely doing something wrong ⛵️🙏🙏
