Boat, Work, Play You Tube
 

All - has anyone watched "Boat, Work, Play" on You Tube. A couple of guys on Long Island restoring some kind of oddball Cigarette; a three engine model but not a Tiger or anything familiar to me. Fun to watch, no professionals,, but for the most part the work is getting done and they are having some fun doing it. Worth a look, and no I have nothing to do with it other than watching.

I’ve seen it and watched for a while. Fun to watch. FPC 1080HP project is my favorite. I made a play list in order. He goes through with a complete rebuild of a Top Gun and shows what places he uses. At the end he says something to the effect of, I could’ve given Skip Braver $500,000, but I did this rebuild for about $200,000. It’s a beautiful boat when completed, but I’d love to know the break down of all the pricing and costs. It seems to clearly have sponsors. So, is that with or without their help. It looked like he had the Top Gun prior to the build. Did the cost include the boat. If anyone knows, I’d appreciate any information just to get an idea of the costs. I’m pretty sure the engines alone were $46K each. I think they end up with a really nice boat.

I also liked watching the Project 1080 videos, although it was too bad there were not more videos and better detail about what was being done and how. The Boat Work Play videos are different, no professionals and it looks like long time friends are doing the work and figuring things out as they go. I am looking forward to the transom being finished up , the engines going in and seeing how the boat runs.

BTW - what model is that that they are working on.

Pretty sure its a 42 Revolution with tripps

Thanks... I think there was a post here about making a Revolution into a center console. Although I may be mistaken. Is the hull a Tiger hull?

Revolution was the pre curser to the evolution (4 or 5 flat deck revolutions built) that then turned into the tiger (same hull different deck) which then Turned into the twin step tiger (different hull same deck , which then turned into the 42x (new hull and deck).

I started watching it this week, pretty funny and sad at the same time, looks like they have heart but zero knowledge, love the $75k budget, ( i laughed at that one)
one of the last ones with guy and his hot wife sanding the fiberglass with zero protection was disheartening
hope they finish it and use it and enjoy the rebuild,.

42 cigarette

I did catch the channel, I to also enjoyed but had similar thoughts as other. The other channel I like is boat vibes, been digging that one.

I have watched the videos. The think it is a Revolution also. They have taken on a large project. The most recent video where their painting the drives, I was thinking to myself....how much overspray got on the boat?

It’s without question a revolution.

Yeah, my first thought was why is he using non-fouling paint on the drives. Then it was surely he isnt going to paint them right there on that table butted up against the house. Black paint all over the siding & "we used the wrong paint" update. haha.

LOL maybe all of that sanding without any protective gear was not such a good idea; as was painting the drives with anti-fouling paint and so close to the house and boat. But, its kind of nice to watch people without the money to have someone else do everything figure things out. Its like watching old school hot rodders...

Was wondering if other people were watching there channel besides me…

I commend them for having the balls to video record the restoration and putting it on the internet for everyone to see.

they make no claims of being experts and routinely ask for advice in the comments section. I think it’s cool to see the work documented. Wish more people did.

I only wish they first researched some of there projects. I.e. painting there drives. That’s a 5 min look up on offshoreonly and you would be able to determine that a self etch primer with merc phantom black was the way to go.

otherwise I think it’s a cool channel. I will certainly be tuning in for more updates in the future.

I've been watching them. I commend them for their effort and desire. Having said that, it hurts to watch at times. Definitely not a channel you would want to watch if you're wanting to learn anything.

So i wonder what happened? videos are all gone or at least i can't find any of them

I tried searching everyway possible to find them and no luck at all. I haven't saw anything in a long time on my youtube feed now that I think about it. Possible disagreement between the 2 and deleted the channel?

there was a falling out between the two…the most recent video in the comments section people were asking for updates.

the channel responded something like “there was a falling out. people aren’t who you think they are. the shows over. we might post a video of what happened…not sure if we will”.

that’s all I know…

Thats too bad. I liked watching - nothing professional there - but I liked watching. Like a couple of backyard hot-rodders. Too bad it was fun to watch.

Bummer that sucks, hopefully it gets finished at some point, one of those projects that was done for love not for profit.
