Construit în 1956 de Burger Boat Company, acest iaht de lux rar este unul dintre cele patru produse vreodată. Prin conexiuni cu Humphrey Bogart și Rat Pack, iahtul a devenit disponibil privat pentru Frank Sinatra, care l-a folosit discret între 1968 și 1974 în Florida. Așezată acum abandonată și are nevoie de restaurare completă, aceasta este o șansă rară de a aduce înapoi o bucată de istorie uitată. https://www.essexmarina.co.uk https://www.boats.co.uk https://boatsalvage.uk Contactați: billy@thepethericks.com

Where is the daily channel?
Billy get yourself a pair of work boots with gloves and coveralls !
Wait till you find the rust .
I can see the potential I am all in on this project
Please tell us you're putting tarps over her when you're not working on her.
Will the boatyard let you put up a temporary shelter over the boat? Because you could really use a temporary shelter over the boat….
Question wouldn’t it be easier to just have somebody come and sandblast everything and just replace what needs to be replaced?
There is a site dedicated to this boat where one can buy shares
Cream color will make it look enternally dirty
The shot with the mirrored surface showing the truck drive up with no establishing context only to reveal the shiny object five minutes later was cinema. If that was intentional, I loved it. If it was an accident, it was a happy one.
So we’re going to rebuild the boat with a screwdriver, putty knife, a hammer, and a broom?
refer to it as a hard time!
Hardtop
Don't give up on this, I just subscribed and want to see it finished!
Nice drone shot! It's beautiful, or at least, will be.
This probably costs you to store it here? 221K subs should help, not bad so far.
Chaussures en cuir 😂😂😂
It'll be entertaining to watch this, but as far as 'renovating' the thing… Not sure a bit of spit and polish is quite enough – If there has been water ingress over the years you need to strip an awful lot of it out, there is a reason these old boats are left to rot in yards, they're simply beyond any economical repair. You could fart around for years doing little bits here and there and end up finding out that the hull needs to be replaced or something.. I've seen other video series where people have restored old boats, there is one where the fella restores an old wooden sailing boat called "Tally-ho" he pretty much stripped it all back to basically nothing other than two or three bits of wood and then had to re-build the sodding things from scratch. Took years and a large team of 'volunteers' working in a well set up mini ship building yard, fully tented from the weather.
Going to be interesting! Once you finish the roof will you treat the rust on the hull? I’ve seen people use laser tools to get the rust off, but shot blasting maybe more thorough.❤
Try a laser rust remover for the hull.🛥
If you are going to strip that roof I advise a large tarpaulin at the ready English weather unpredictable billy boy.😊
Too much talking and not working, and when you do there is too much drama video wasted for watching..don't need to do so much videoing on the same work or intro!!
Gloves….
Any updates
Great project. It hurts me to see you with out something to protect your breathing. I know it restricts your voice. Cheers.
Perhaps a few power tools would be helpful?
Down the road with that expanse of roof , great place for solar panels as you upgrade equipment on board the yacht. Just a thought cause there’s a lot of upgrading equipment and rewiring needed. But decent tools ( power) , brooms and tarps at this point would be a great investment, along with a mask. Breathing in old dust & mold isn’t a great idea mate.
I admire him though 👋
Get rid of the compressor completely… a great idea in its time but a lot of work to put it back and it will look messy… keep it sleek and decluttered on the roof and will look amazing when done.
Glad you are back creating content BTW and best wishes for this project 💪👍
You sir need 2 pizzas…one case of beer…and six friends to help you.
Love it. Finish it or not, have fun and make money on the way. Accomplishment of a life if you do finish it.
Get rid of the crane. The roof would be a great place for solar panels!
How is your dad doing?
Use a floor buffer with a large scuff disc, that way you're not crawling around sanding the entire surface.
I'm not a maritime engineer but what would Davits on the back do to the stability of her?
You could find some partners that have the enthusiastic interest and $$ to help you get it up and running and time share it out…
Sorry , this is not a DIY project . Nobody is going to buy this boat from you to put in the water. You could make it into a house and move it to land or something, but please don't throw your money away without a plan and cost estimate.
I strongly suggest a cordless drill / screw gun to take all those screws out.
Nothing better than going on your knees to get a cold beer from the fridge. You might also say a little prayer to Neptun though.
I remember seeing this for sale, an awesome project, in every sense. Look forward to seeing what you make of it, but please no more skinny jeans :D.
🇨🇦 Hey Billy… Restoration of anything is really cool, be it a convent or a boat, it's interesting to see the process…crack on!😊 🍁
