    Stay tuned for episode 2 where we spend the summer in the San Juan Islands before sailing down the west coast to Channel Islands.
    We are currently in San Diego getting ready to cross the boarder and spend the winter in Baja chasing perfect right hand point breaks!

    At first glance 6K looked like a good deal for the boat. Yet, after we see how rotten the boat is, hmmm they should have gave it to you. No matter that, I like seeing all the passion you guys have for the project, and doing what it took to make her Sea Worthy... Best Wishes! Carry on!

    When buying a boat, bring a small padded hammer, or mallet to check the density of any material, fiberglass or wood.

      @jo3ywils0n39 3 роки тому +2

      @@jwillar6173 That's a great idea, but I wouldn't pay for a survey on every boat I look at, that's a waste - Insurance companies usually require a survey, so it's common practice to make a purchase offer conditional to the results of a survey (basically covering the new owners ass to make sure they can get insurance). I see what you're saying, but not exactly relevant when going to check out yard boats...

      @@jo3ywils0n39 I certainly would take a marine surveyor along to look at a wooden boat that’s been sitting outside in someone’s yard in Washington for 10 years. A few hundred dollars that a survey would cost, could sure be a deal breaker and save me the $6,000.00 for buying nothing more than firewood.

    I have built three boats, and the problems I see with plywood, and coldmolded boats are built into them the day that they are built. After WW 11 my uncle, and dad worked for Huckins Yachet Corperation. The company built PT boats for the war then after the war they made the Fairform Flyer Yachet. They didn't have epoxie, but they used a purple glue that they had to keep refrigerated. The wood was Hondurin Mahogany, and it was 2 layers that were laid double diagonal total of five eights thick. Many of these boats are still ariound today.

    • @DavidPaulNewtonScott
