1. Some people have crossed it on a life raft.. not by choice!!! With that said they are beautiful little Boats!!!!

2. Hello Joe. She's a salty-looking boat. I like the rub rail. Stay well from Joe in AZ

3. Love it! Just started a 73 Newport Holiday 19. Replaced ALL the wood, transom, stringers ect. Full resto! Trying to keep the momentum going. Thanks for the wisdom 🤘

4. I wouldn't… But I'm close to 80. But, since you asked:
   If flipping for profit is the aim, spruce it up, fix what's broken and sell it.

5. Pocket Trawler!!

6. Pocket trawler would be cool ! Great videos thanks 🇨🇦

7. Definitely a protected water boat. That foam is likely there to limit the amount of water that can flood up through the motor well in certain sailing conditions. It is a known problem for that hull design. The fiberglass around the keel is also thin and failures from water freezing are out there on the forums. Curious to see what you think once you really get into it.

8. Based on my experience restoring vintage European motorcycles, this is flipper for sure. Looks like it was respected and cared for. Good owner intensions but not used much. Outboard is evidence of that. Not abused or chopped up. Practical improvements using limited skills. Bring it back to life but don't over do it just because you know you can.

9. Great video! I was so shocked when I saw you only had 1.2k subs. You deserve way more 😊

10. I saw a sweet skipper 20 on Craigslist. I loved it! but I'm land locked

11. That boat’s in great shape. Clean it up, rig it up, and go sailing.

12. I sailed around the world on a 43ft sailboat. We spent a year in St Augustine Florida getting ready to leave. There was a boat that came into the marina one day called little boat. It was an old wooden 20 something foot sailboat that looked like it was sinking just sitting still. It had barely any freeboard (distance from deck to the water line). It was tiny inside. We later saw them in New Zealand and i have no idea how they actually made it there in that boat. So you could cross oceans in almost anything but i wouldn't recommend crossing oceans in a 20ft boat. We encountered a massive storm on our way from Bermuda to Nova Scotia Canada. 30+ foot waves and over 55knots of wind for 3 days while sailing over the Grand Banks. The waves were breaking over the stern constantly and we were survival mode with a tiny storm jib up and surfing waves up to 14knots and then smashing into the back of the next wave making the boat want to broach. I cannot imagine getting through that in a 20ft boat.

13. Compared to the 15ft plastic boat my friend sailed from the UK across the Atlantic, that thing is a tank. I would plug that outboard hole and minimise the cockpit for offshore.

14. Keep it original

15. Brilliant

16. An interesting project! Not sure what I would do to it. Take it for a sail in rough conditions and some things may become apparent.

17. I just subscribed so I could follow your project. My vote is to leave it original. This also means get rid of the swim ladder. No "character". Looking forward to your videos.

18. I'd vote for a pilot house and keep it sail-able. Thats the kind of boat a person could sail solo and bop around from port to port for very little money. Would love to take it down to the keys.

19. I vote micro trawler…..

20. Just found your channel and loved the video. What a crackin' little boat! I get the pilot house idea, but I think it would be a shame to convert her to a motor boat, but that's just me. Looking forward to following your efforts. Greetings from an old sailing enthusiast in South Africa. Subscribed.

21. Please keep the boat a sail boat,that is if you are a sailor. Many people are not. And so sailing is slowly becoming a thing of the past. It is not how fast you are, or how you need to get to your destination asap. It's the love of learning new things and adventure. You also learn patience. Whatever you do give olive oil love. All the best greg.

22. What a fabulous little boat. I would love that project. I did a Victory 18 that had the hull pierced on both sides of the bow. It was pulled out of the water on a makeshift trailer. It was filled with water when recovered. The trailer supports up front pierced the hull as it settled on the trailer.
    Sailed it several times after i repaired it. The problem was launching and retrieving. It required a twenty foot chain between the trailer hitch and the trailer in order to get it far enough down the ramp so it could float.

23. Joe, you are my boat restoration momentum guru and I love that you bought another boat to restore. Whatever keeps you motivated right. Gonna be great to follow this.
    Really like the planked hull retro look, my grand banks has that as well. Keep it up!
