WHAT DID WE DO!? Trying to refit a liveaboard catamaran for under $50k CHEAP! (Season 1 First Look)

Check out our Facebook page for more frequent updates: @SailingBlackPearl After nearly a year of teasing, we finally decided to make good on our promises of outfitting a fully functioning liveaboard catamaran for UNDER $50k . . . or give it our best shot! After an aggressive couple weeks, everything has been put into motion. We are doing our best to stay true to the challenge, so film time may be brief. That being said, climb aboard for our first look at this cheap catamaran! Meet Mahi Mahi: This vessel is a 1962 42' (48' LOA) CSK Catamaram built by Rudy Choy himself. There is some pretty awesome history to go along with it, but we will cover that in a separate video. Mahi Mahi has had a rough life, so there is plenty of work to be done. Between her age, and the poor repairs made by the last owner, we have taken on the challenge of repairing several soft areas in Mahogany Wood Hull, separated and broken ribs, and many other urgent issues. Over the last year, we have had 5 or 6 close calls with holes opening up along previously repaired areas. Some leaks filled our hulls to chest height with water, but Mahi managed pulled through each time. Our goal for this project is to build her up from the ribs and stringers into a fully functioning liveaboard vessel, with a total price of $50k. It is ambitious, but we have some awesome tips and tricks to pass on. Will we make it? Tune in to find out! Want better videos with more details!? Join us on Patreon! www.Patreon.com/SailingBlackPearl
