1. What do you think this Princess will be worth once she's made right?

2. How would you even begin to fix that bottom? Take it all down to fiberglass? Genuinely curious on what it would take. If insurance totalled this for that and the engine, that's a big statement.

3. I would contact Princess or Viking to see if they can explain why it came apart . I would think if the fiberglass is done correctly it should be one solid piece instead of a bunch of layers glued together.

4. That's why I'm a fan of steel haul boats. If it can't be welded, it can't be fixed. 😂

5. Check out the 74 Viking Sport fish I did over here on my Fishing Channel.

6. This is a princess motoryacht, nothing to do with viking. It's osmosis that caused delamination. Easily sorted.

7. Thanks for the video tour! The big trouble with this boat is that's a very expensive repair across the entire critical bottom hull area, and it still will be a trouble area in the future. It is a SALVAGE boat for a reason – the repair cost is just not worth it. FOR ME: Just strip it down for parts and engine…$125k auction bid is still too high – the insurance company is just trying make a buck, if it doesn't sell it will be auctioned again at a lower minimum bid. Even if someone does make the boat structurally sound again (guaranteed at a loss), THEN there is the issue of slip fees for a 70' boat – if you don't already own morrrage, it will be $$$$ per month. if a person has that kind of money, they wouldn't be wasting time on salvage boats either, probably. Who knows? Maybe somebody will fall in love with her? The number one function of a yacht is to make money disappear, and this boat will have no problem doing that – quickly. 😀

8. Where do old boats go to die

9. They cost only for a bottom is 250.000 dollars. For other repairs who knows !!!!

10. That crankshaft seal is a job.

11. Before Princess was distributed in the US, they were imported, rebranded and sold as Viking motor yachts. Viking was focused on sport fish boats and wanted to break into the motor yacht business. I don't think that could be an " electrolysis" issue with the glass. Carbon fiber can conduct electricity, due to the carbon ( as in old fashioned batteries) but not fiberglass. The glass repair probably is not the big issue, but the engine and mechanicals may be huge. Perhaps the captain ran aground, peeled back some glass but the shock to the running gear likely damaged the engine.

12. RUN! RUN AWAY VERY FAST!

13. I’m actually more worried about the engine crankshaft bearing. That is an engine replacement. The delamination is caused by improper factory prep, and water intrusion getting underneath the gel coat.. That is major blistering and could keep going and going. All fixable, but lots of time and money. I’ve been rebuilding boats for 35 years.. That one would take me at least 8-12 months working daily. If you got the boat for around 20k to 30k grand it would be way worth it… $125k NOPE! Why? Most people would pay someone to do the work and you’re almost better off buying another boat. Monthly storage costs will kill you too.

14. The crank bearing is on the end of the crank shaft inside the engine

15. It sounds and looks like it has been badly damaged – why is it salvaged – what's the full story?

16. That is a Princess 21M as produced from 2004 up to 2010. Princess are gel-coated, and they are usually blister-free boats, even after a couple of decades and without osmosis protection. Though recent new models from around 2015, with infused hulls, are not as good as the old ones. The gelcoat stain/crazing is pretty common to British boats (Fairline/Princess/Sunseeker) after ten years old who sit in hot climate areas. To be honest I am bit surprised with the delamination on this Princess, considering it comes from the hand-laid laminated era period. As some said the delamination is not that hard to fix, also because it does not look to have structurally affected the yacht, and this era Princess have a solid not cored bottom. The engine fix might be another case and probably that one is 100k. Princess 21M go around the one million US$ mark, for a 2005 you are looking in reality at around 700/800k. At 125k plus repairs of 200k, then another 200k to make it nice, might still bring some value with headaches along the way.

17. Might as well take it to Davey Jones locker or truck it home and live on it

18. The bearing damage is inside the Engine. The delamination has allowed water to spread between the gel coat and the roving the holes are leaking water as the water spread i think the manufacture screwed up the lay up and did use enough resin over the roving i can see its starved of resin where the gel coat peeled off.

19. That which u see is Not just gel coat peeling off , 125,000$ really well i dont think it will fetch much more then that because the gel coat of the whole hull under the waterline was clearly starved of resin meaning the entire hull under the waterline has to come off and the roving re resined to over the surface then the gel coat replaced.

20. 😎🇺🇸 very good

21. Could be also Shaft Cutlass bearing but i think its the engine.

22. Electrallisis does not generally cause delamination

23. More prone to Aluminum or steel boats or wood boats and last Ferro Cement boats.

24. I think that the damage to the boat did not cause the gel coat issue, i think that their was a openning somewhere on the bottom

25. To repair all the damage, address the engines and do an interior make over it would require about 2 million US. Then you would have a decent boat, but the problem is that you can buy decent versions of this boat for much less.
    And worst part is that the damage of the delamination will most likely keep going on. Water will be everywhere.
    So does it make sense to restore this yacht ? Not really. THis is for someone who wants to have a DIY boat for a low price. Will fix it up and then use it as long as possible.

26. It's not only gelcoat, it's a coat of fiberglass/mat most likely was repaired and not clean or during building didn't cured as wanted or was underwater for a long period of time, who knows. Needs complete peeling. And reapply fiberglass and gelcoat. Big job.

27. Truly a rich man’s boat even if the price is cheap it’s costly to work on a boat this size. Just the cost to maintain this vessel probably more than 20k a year

28. could off been a bad batch when they did the mould

29. vacuflush pump turned on need new check valves

30. and tiolet bowl seal

31. This problem started when the hull was laid, maybe they forgot to bag it and suck the air out. It's clearly not laid right and who knows maybe the epoxy they would infuse the layers with wasn't properly mixed or it didn't cure correctly.

32. Hell no way.. salvage boats are the curse from hell. Would not even take it for free

33. crankshaft inside engine bearing damage probably from the impact of prop….delam is just plain bad fiberglass layup….that is seperating too uniformly….too dry of layup when hull was laid

34. Gus (In Too Deep channel ) would have that boat fixed and in the water in 8 weeks. That kid is a machine.

35. Got a good engine so if I bought her first thing I'd do is move her to the cheapest place that has everything needed.
    Serious money can be made off this….but it will take serious effort.
