    Nice find for $500. Love Gus in his little fin life jacket. You guys always look like you're really enjoying life.
  • @blevenzon
    Nothing like a Chris or Jen video on a Sunday. Always a treat
  • @cheetahlip
    Watching you guys is sort of like a reality show without all the drama. I like it. It’s calming.
  • @JoesGoldenGarage
    I fixed many a boat like this with a froze and busted block. Simple patch gets u back in business. That no pressure cooling is the key. Love this one! What a beaut !
  • @clarencewiles963
    Jennifer moved the shed to a great spot 😊 thanks for sharing today with Gus, and Jennifer ✅

    This boat brought back lots of memories as a kid. My parents friend owned a Formula that was from the same vintage/ very similar. Was blue on the bottom instead of the red. His was a 19' cutty cabin, mercruiser/ 350, etc. Only thing different i can see in the hull off the jump is yours doesn't have the larger 'walk-thru' style cabin, as well as no hatch on the cabin, which makes sense since its a smaller one. His boat had these nice teak doors, and a shitter/ nice cushions down in the cabin. $500 is an absolute steal either way Chris! Can't wait to watch this one, and I agree that gel coat should come back to life pretty nicely! Thanks for sharing! 👍
  • Chris. You have some of the most informational videos on you tube. You have a great channel.
  • @richardthomas1743
    Hello Chris and Jen! Your buddy sure did get an awesome deal on that Boat , WOW!!! Nice to see you , Jen and Gus out on the Raven ! LMAO @ Jen "Rocking the boat" , thumbs UP to you guys!! 👍👍

    @18:06 - Bro, you should definitely check out that induction heater that Andrew was just using. That thing looks like a real life-saver in bolt removal situations. All the heat of the torch without a flame.

    The Thunderbird Fomula is a Great Boat. I had the 19.5 foot version. Very well built boat.
  • @peterthorpe7986
    Hey chris , along with all of your accomplishments and abilities I am always impressed by your drone photography. Been watching you for about a year now. keep up the good work.
  • @jeffedwards4111
    What a steal for $500. Had an 18ft years back, lots of teak trim. Great boats. Enjoy your channel.
  • @joerosier6059
    Great video Chris!!! Thanks for the content. Can't believe that deal your buddy got on that boat. Wow!!!! I love the drone shots you throw in almost every video. Very cool!!! And Gus was being his usual awesome little self!!!!
  • @kennethsonier1766
    That's a great-looking boat for 500 bucks. Jen's upholstery came out nice and she has a lovely voice. Keep up the great work guys and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲
  • @erikwilson9498
    I see people doing this a lot. Vise grips and channel locks grip much better if you rotate the wrench the opposite way you used them. Love you guy's videos !
  • @Balderoni_
    I love this combination of fixing, then cruising and just you fellers spending time together and taking us with you! Much love and waiting for the next video ❤
