WE BOUGHT A SINKING CATAMARAN . . . FROM 1962! Join us on this cheap DIY refit project. (S1E1)

WELCOME TO SEASON 1! Even though this is not the beginning of our struggle, we invite you to one of the most in-depth refits happening on YouTube. Having only done a handful of work prior on this boat project, this is an awesome opportunity to see the full build process on our 1962 CSK Catamaran. This episode covers a little about the beginnings of our most recent project, refitting a sailing catamaran as a liveaboard for under $50k. We recently pulled it out of the water to prevent it from sinking and have a lot of work to do. Other topics covered include our quest to find the best method to removing 50 year old bottom paint, like sanding, sandblasting, paint strippers, and more! We also talk a little about hull repair, woodwork, rib repair and more. Sanding strategies tried in this episode: - Citrus Strip, worked, but was not cost effective. - Aqua Strip, didn't work too well, comparable to Citrus Strip but more expensive. - Jasco Paint Remover (spray), worked the best of all products for us. - Jasco Paint Remover (gel), was least effective . . . fancy that. - Angle Grinder, a possible solution, but damages the fiberglass too much. - Sanding only, sucks. It can be done, but takes too many man hours. Woodworking strategies in this episode: - Gorilla Glue Wood Glue, works very well. Not waterproof or submersible, but held under pressure for about 48 hours submersed before failing. - Bondo Epoxy Filler, works very well in the joints to seal and protect the repairs.
