Our FIRST Look at the eBay Boat We Bought Sight Unseen on eBay! | Sailing with the Jamess [Ep.199]

We still can't believe we're saying this... Last week, we won a 60-foot expedition vessel on an eBay auction without ever stepping aboard. No sea trial. No survey. Just a few photos, a lot of faith, and one winning bid. Now it's time to finally show you what we actually bought. This is the beginning of FROM FPV TO FPB — our journey transforming an ex-Federal Police Vessel into a family long-range cruising boat. The refit starts NOW. Welcome Aboard Our Newest Adventure!
