They told me it would cost $16,000 to get Buster the Bus back in shape. As a 60-year-old woman tackling this project, I knew there had to be a better way. Today, I’m talking about the steering coupler. The shop estimate? $900. My actual cost? Less than $50. I’m not a professional mechanic, and I’m not here to show you a step-by-step tutorial. I’m here to show you that with a little research and some grit, you don't have to be at the mercy of a shop's massive markup. I’m doing the "impossible" repairs for a fraction of the price, and I'm taking you along for the ride as I save over $12,000 on this build. If I can do this, you can too. In this video: The breakdown of the $16,000 "reputable" shop estimate. How I found a steering coupler for under $50. Why I’m choosing to do the work myself on Buster the Bus. #BusLife #WomenWhoBuild #BusterTheBus #BudgetBuild #Skoolie #MoneySavingTips #DIYOrDie

The retractable daggerboards provide exceptional upwind tracking while allowing for access to shallow lagoons that are inaccessible to most yachts of this size. The deck layout features the signature Outremer helm seats with tillers for a direct and exhilarating steering sensation, alongside a protected central steering wheel for heavy weather. Below deck, the interior is refined and functional, utilizing lightweight materials to ensure the vessel remains agile without compromising the comfort required for permanent live-aboard use. Known for its high average speeds and exceptional build quality, this model is a favorite for transoceanic rallies and serious explorers. A well-specified model on the secondary market is valued at approximately 1 million US dollars. #Outremer51 #SailingCatamaran #BlueWaterCruiser #HarbourMasters
