What a marvelous evolution. The primer over the entire boat has unified all the bow, stern and doghouse enhancements into single, very cool custom boat! Well done. Can’t wait to see the interior with its primer coat applied.
So so cool to see it in one color now. To see all your hard work transforming Duracell. Looks awesome you guys. Matt your mom is an extraordinary jewel ! And your vision for Duracell is incredible. Thanks for sharing this journey with us.
What a transformation! She's becoming a real beauty. I remember some of the angst over how the bowsprit would look but after painting it looks great. The doghouse looks superb.
I was interested to see what the new bow would look like in one color. Totally works. Caught myself smiling when the boat was fully primed, you can see her true figure. 🙌
The primer is such a milestone, a consolidation of so many alterations. Very pleased for you that it is looking good. Also, what a great team, from Matt's Mum's huge dedication, to Janneke's work behind the scenes, Matts skills, the inspector's powerful whiskers, and all the contributions by friends, Small's fairers, and the sponsors.
What a moment for you. And just like that, all of those components and details you've designed and built...are connected with a first coat of paint...into a reincarnated Duracell. Wow. Congratulations on this huge milestone.
The fact that you are not only continuing to do this, but have increased your capabilities while dealing with a baby. Dude you both (and mom too) deserve all the respect in the world!
Amazing Matt, she looks absolutely brilliant. This is certainly a milestone and a obvious achievement which indicates your ability and dedication in action as before just positive professionalism at a pinnacle point. A Huge shout out to all participant's! Job well done.
Congratulations guys. I’ve been watching since episode 1 and it’s amazing to see the boats transformation and how you’ve transformed to being much more comfortable in front of the camera. Awesome stuff
Your mom is an absolute legend. The silent star of the show. Great videos. This project makes me want to travel into the future. Can’t wait to see Duracell float. 👍🏼👍🏼 (btw, keep that name 😃)
I think you are doing a great job and I’m sure you are grateful to your wife and your mom for helping you out and videoing the whole operation. Great job guys.
I love how you guys highlighted the spraying of the last bit, the bow. I totally get how momentous that felt, congratulations on a magnificent milestone you all!
I'm voting "Judy" for name. Where I'm from fishing boats were always moms name and later daughters name. As a sailor and someone familiar with large boatbuilding what you people have accomplished is amazing. Your design and build quality is over the top. Can't wait till i see your vids sailing this machine. Much respect
Congratulations on achieving such an important milestone. Duracell looks amazing now that she is one colour. She certainly looks a lot larger than before and I love how the stern and the doghouse really stand out. She is going to be a stunning world cruising yacht, capable of taking you wherever you desire. She will be admired by all. Thank you for continuing to share your journey. 👏
Must have been the most satisfying two days so far. The transition is stunning, you can really get a feel for how beautiful her lines were going to be.
Matt, I it is great to see your boat starting to be painted. I like it when you say before starting some projects I’m a little nervous. I think it makes you more aware. Happy to see your mom helping. I am a fan. Take care
I have so many thoughts on this video. First and foremost, WOW. Just Wow! So amazing of a difference, and such a fine job of applying the paint. The boat looks much more real, if you will forgive that usage. Second, I'd like to change my vote for the name... Because, Jeez, Matt, your Mom! I think you should consider naming it after her. Very traditional, and very appropriate. Talk about supportive- rolling up the sleeves and putting in countless hours of hard labor. So, yeah, think on that. Another great video and thanks
I’m quite moved by the full paint….joyful tears…not sure why it hit me emotionally….well done and congratulations to you and your family for such an amazing project.
Congrats to this new stage, I can't even imagine the feeling of satisfaction seeing tons of work emerging in a beautiful surface and shape. Looks great!!
This turned out great. I'm constantly amazed at the size of this boat, and taking 2 days to primer it just speaks to its hugeness. Thanks for the video 😁😁👍👍👍
It's amazing to see what a difference a coat of paint can do. I will be watching with great interest to see what color you choose for the final finish. Well done. (from Australia)
You are so lucky that your boat is equipped with a nuclear power plant ie your mother, the woman has an insane work ethic, I think you should market a soft toy just like her so we can all buy one and give her a huge cuddle. The outcome was fantastic, totally professional as has every other aspect of this remodelling mission.
A marvelous transformation we all knew was coming but...wow! When it actually happens you really see how your key design elements came out and I have to say that doghouse looks really good. Purposeful, yet classically styled and proper. Big step forward...congrats from SY Miss Foxy, in Singapore!
The shots from the bow after the paint look bad ass. What an absolute rocket ship of a yacht. It looks like 20 knots sitting still. For color scheme I would take a lot of risk and no short cuts. Personal preference would be red white and blue. Other option, lots of longitudinal black and gold. Chances of blending in anywhere are small so mind as well embrace the flavor.
Matt, you and your entire team, especially including the videographer and Mom have truly produced a stunning ship of dreams together. So pleasing to see yalls floating home come together. Perfect video evidence displayed in the design and workmanship attitude. I really envy the joy of sailing in that crib yall have made. Sweet sweet sweet. Plus I like the idea of the graduated colors of La Paz draping over its shapely curves. There something very special about your Inspector General. I’d say the colors aught to magnify yalls favorite family colors for gentle excitement outside and peace and tranquility on the inside. Cracker Jacks a good color🥹
I am sure by watching all of your videos from the onset, that you have put in a bunch of work in Duracel’s refit, aside from that I would like to note my hope that you are FOREVER GRATEFUL to your wonderful Mother, as with most mothers, she is the gift that keeps on giving, and your Mother is a PRIME EXAMPLE!!!!!
Wow Matt! I hope that accomplishment feels as good as it looks. What a huge milestone. You are so good at bringing us along for the ride. And you are so lucky to have such a great cinematographer and editor in Yanni. And your Mom is an absolute champ! Congratulations to all of you. WELL DONE!
What a huge step towards completing the exterior. Your mom sure seems to be your greatest ally along with your wife who really has a lot on her plate 😮in helping with the boat. Looks great and you have really come a long way since picking up the boat.
You gotta love how Dave, being a man who deals with customers daily had such an eloquent rebuff of the inspector colour scheme😂 I know it's only the primer but it has really lifted the boat, she looks beautiful and after all the debate about the bowsprit I think it looks great. Nice work Matt and great video Janneke. Godbless ❤
WOW ! What a transformation !! Watching for the whole project this one step really allows us to see the boat that you have been thinking of the whole time ! Beautiful !! You do such fantastic work I love to watch videos on Wednesdays !!
Such an incredible milestone. Congratulations! It's been great following your journey with this amazing project. Very happy for you all.......! Cant wait to see what you do in coming weeks and months (years?). All the best........
Fantastic job, and other than Mom’s help with keeping up the mixing tasks, you did lit solo. Not to mention all the hand work of prepping that big surface. My tip goes back to pouring from the bucket into mixing cups. Use a standard (means cheap) kitchen bowl spatula. It helps get the most out of the can.
WOW! Another great milestone. It must be mixed feelings. Sad all your work is covered up and can't be visually appreciated and extremely satisfying to see how well all that work turned our. Congratulations Matt
I suppose it is a unanimous understanding by now that Judy is a freaking ninja warrior, and no wonder she has a legion of adoring fans. I hope all the filling and glazing from the sanding crew was to your liking, since the footage didn't make it clear, regardless, it was most amazing for us, the audience, to see the entire exterior of the boat primed. What a momentous episode!
How inspiring! Looks like that primer laid down really well, especially given that you were working on the edge of it's environmental limits. Definitely the right call to spray vs. roll & tip - that's a big boat!
im enjoying this journey so much., for someone in the Caribbean who has never sailed but always wanted to. Congrats to the new stage. Primer is on Duracel.
Feels like I've been waiting years for this moment... oh wait, I have!! Wow!! What a transformation. Looks more like a boat and less like a "project". I just bought a new house and we spent days and days compounding, sanding, painting, and priming so this really hit home on the heels of completing similar work.

That paint crew that fared the boat killed it and you did excellent laying down the primer
Your Mom is absolutely awesome! What a help!
That boat... Should be named "Mom❤"
Total legend!
Judy is a gem ❤
She is an amazing person,her skill and endurance are something to be admired.
She should have disposable gloves that fit her hands!
You have two of the most amazing women in your life, your wife and mother. You are sooooooo blessed.❤❤❤
What a marvelous evolution. The primer over the entire boat has unified all the bow, stern and doghouse enhancements into single, very cool custom boat! Well done. Can’t wait to see the interior with its primer coat applied.

I’m in my 60s and have been a paint sprayer my whole working life , you done good !!
That’s a BIG job and what an excellent milestone to reach 👏🏼😎
The primer is such a milestone, a consolidation of so many alterations. Very pleased for you that it is looking good. Also, what a great team, from Matt's Mum's huge dedication, to Janneke's work behind the scenes, Matts skills, the inspector's powerful whiskers, and all the contributions by friends, Small's fairers, and the sponsors.
Looks amazing!!! The bow looks fantastic in the primer, really shows off the shape. Beautiful😘
I’ve been following for a long time and I can say this is the most satisfying video till now!
The boat looks awesome!
Your mum is a legend, hard working woman ❤❤
What a moment for you. And just like that, all of those components and details you've designed and built...are connected with a first coat of paint...into a reincarnated Duracell. Wow. Congratulations on this huge milestone.
Fantastic 🎉 Professional Plan, Prep and Paint. Congratulations to suppliers and crews 😅
01:00 the synchronised back and forth of the polythene on the windows makes it look like it is breathing. You are bringing Duracell back to life 😁
Big props to your mom! You wouldn’t be anywhere near this stage without her. She’s just brilliant! 🤩
Man is it good to Duracell back in one color❤ one step closer to being back in the water where she belongs!
Thank you for saving this glorious boat!🎉🎉
The fact that you are not only continuing to do this, but have increased your capabilities while dealing with a baby. Dude you both (and mom too) deserve all the respect in the world!
Spraying/painting is the most satisfying part 👍 but preparation is the key to it. And that takes long 😩. Looks REALLY good 👍👏
Grandma, you’re the best! What a huge help you are. And that boat is truly beautiful. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Matt, your mom is a rock star! Reminds me of my mom, no job too hard or too dirty or too tedious. Just gear up and "let's go!" You are a lucky man.
That was intensely satisfying to watch and what a result!! The boat looks amazing 😀. You must all be very proud of getting to this stage.
Looks great guys! Congratulations!
Getting that first coat on is always the best because you can really see its lines for the first time, she's looking good.
WOW!! The Boat looks so much bigger now that its all one color!! Beautiful work. 🥰🥰 Im so excited for y'all!
If anyone deserves success it’s you guys, and that includes your Mother. Xx
Absolutely awesome, following this rebirth with great appreciation.
Amazing Matt, she looks absolutely brilliant. This is certainly a milestone and a obvious achievement which indicates your ability and dedication in action as before just positive professionalism at a pinnacle point. A Huge shout out to all participant's! Job well done.
The fairing job came out great, clean lines. Looks great mate. My favorite channel and boat project
always great to see a boat being painted
Looking great. Huge transformation and a step closer. Your mom is awesome.
Congratulations!🥰
Man your Mom is awesome! She is a trooper.
Congratulations guys. I’ve been watching since episode 1 and it’s amazing to see the boats transformation and how you’ve transformed to being much more comfortable in front of the camera.
Awesome stuff
Looks amazing, I'm loving watching Duracell take shape!
Wow!The boat looks awesome. The preparation and dedication of producing a high quality end result is truly evident. This is a great milestone.
Your mom is an absolute legend. The silent star of the show. Great videos. This project makes me want to travel into the future. Can’t wait to see Duracell float. 👍🏼👍🏼 (btw, keep that name 😃)
I think you are doing a great job and I’m sure you are grateful to your wife and your mom for helping you out and videoing the whole operation. Great job guys.
Yes can’t help saying again what an amazing mom you have, she’s a blessing to this build.
Wow! Now you can actually see what a great job they did with the fairing! The back of Duracell looks babybutt smooth!
Mum is a Superstar!!!
I love how you guys highlighted the spraying of the last bit, the bow. I totally get how momentous that felt, congratulations on a magnificent milestone you all!

An emotional as well as practical milestone! I can feel your satisfaction coming thru the video and it's delightful.
Looks great. Sanding team did a great job!
Congratulations on achieving such an important milestone. Duracell looks amazing now that she is one colour.

Fantastic effort from everyone! The boat looks amazing!!!
Love you Guys!! ❤
Big job!
Well done!
Mom better get extended vacations on board with nice meals once complete. 😉👍
And I also hope for some correctly sized glove before it's complete
Matt, I it is great to see your boat starting to be painted. I like it when you say before starting some projects I’m a little nervous. I think it makes you more aware. Happy to see your mom helping. I am a fan. Take care
All that prep and fairing realy make the end result stunning. Can't wait to see which way you go on the finish colour. Thanks for sharing.
I have so many thoughts on this video. First and foremost, WOW. Just Wow! So amazing of a difference, and such a fine job of applying the paint. The boat looks much more real, if you will forgive that usage. Second, I'd like to change my vote for the name... Because, Jeez, Matt, your Mom! I think you should consider naming it after her. Very traditional, and very appropriate. Talk about supportive- rolling up the sleeves and putting in countless hours of hard labor. So, yeah, think on that.
Another great video and thanks
You have a great project. You have my subscription.

Incredible milestone. This episode was a big one. She looks beautiful. Well done.
Bravo to the sanders, magnificent job, a real milestone week in the project, well done everyone.
This turned out great. I'm constantly amazed at the size of this boat, and taking 2 days to primer it just speaks to its hugeness. Thanks for the video 😁😁👍👍👍
Stunning job Matt and Matt's mum and the initial pep crew did a fantastic job before the primer coat.
It is a huge step! Congratulations it starts looking like your new boat!!
It's amazing to see what a difference a coat of paint can do. I will be watching with great interest to see what color you choose for the final finish. Well done. (from Australia)
So happy for y'all, thank you for all the videos I appreciate it.

Thanks!
What progress. Looks good. I`m looking forward to the final paintjob.
What a transformation, congrats to all involved!
i wasn’t sold on this ambitious project, but you’re nailing it…that salon is awesome!….

You can be proud of your work. Incredible transformation !
Looking good! The coat of paint really made all the parts you worked on become one continous boat.

Amazing what painting can do for overall aesthetic quality, great work, should be proud of what you’ve accomplished
Just fantastic! Nice work!

The bowsprit is my favourite part, especially all primed up. Great job again team!
WOW. It's so amazing how much a paint job can do for visual appeal.
Wow!!! Bravooo! The result is excellent. Very motivating!
Here's to milestones.Grats. Hopefully your mom gets to sail to beautiful places with you.
