    What an interesting and educational video of bottom painting a big Steel Trawler! That voice that narrates is so mesmerizing I could listen to that man for hours! Even the music was evoking emotion to this video...What an exceptionally beautiful boat!

    Did they add additional steel on the bottom? How thick is the hull?

    • @yachtlens

      No additional steel was required and the owner has an audiogauge which has this information along with additional details. Please find links below our video. Thanks for watching.

    Nice paint job done right. That trawler is a great value at $559K. It is a perfect ship for an owner who is educated in mechanical systems and willing to do a lot of their own maintenance and mechanicals. (Me!). She's not a hands-off luxury yacht by any stretch. I didn't see a lick of fiberglas on a tour video, only hardwood and steel. If my wife loved boats/ships I'd be first in line. But alas, I love her more than boats......so after 40 years of boat ownership we are now confirmed landlubbers.

    What kind of baloney is this???? They did a bottom job and NOT a restoration. Geeeez, get real.

    • @yachtlens

      There is a walk thru video that shows her interior has been completely done beautifully prior to the bottom paint. Have a look at it on our channel. She is really something and worth watching the other video showing the interior walk thru. Thank you for commenting.

    Out of the water 3 years prior?? Far too long, and have anybody noticed the zinc anodes all gone and allowing damage to the steel plating. I owned two steel trawlers and once or 2 times
    a year we took them out of the water for a repaint and inspection.

      Yeah 3 years is way too long and they didn't put enough zinc's back on it

    They painted it?...lol

    • @yachtlens
      @yachtlens  9 днів тому

      Yes, they painted it!
      It took 6000 square feet of plastic, sixteen 2500 lb blocks, a semi-truck carrying a filter and blast equipment, 12,000 lbs. of sand, four coats of epoxy and 19 days of night and day work. But, then… they painted it!

    A restoration is something where you take the thing apart, throw out all the trash and the equipment and rebuild it from the ground up. This is a repaint. Not more. Clickbait.

    • @yachtlens
      @yachtlens  5 місяців тому +1

      No, you’re wrong.
      Restoration is defined as: “The act or process of returning something to its former condition.” I’m not sure how many “repaints” you’ve done, but I doubt to many of them included 12,000lbs. of blast material and filters which had semi-trucked in. This was in-fact a restoration. Thanks for watching!
