Hi, my name is Richard and I bought a used boat.
, Florida is the boating capital of the United States. From freshwater lakes and rivers to the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, we have plenty of room to roam in vessels of all sizes.This means I purchased the issues and problems that came with the boat.
Luvbug and I used the boat a dozen times, or more, and even had it blessed during the ‘23 Blessing of the Fleet. Last July 4th weekend, I noticed that my bilge pump was running more than normal. After some inspection while on the water, I saw that I was taking on water. With the assistance of a secondary bilge pump and the support of some friends, I managed to return to a lift for additional inspection.
On the lift, a poorly patched crack was discovered. With the help of Flex Tape, yes the infomercial stuff, I got the boat from near the Buckman Bridge to Goodbys Creek and then on a trailer.Join me outside the studio and away from the kitchen for an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into the effort required to restore this old boat and set sail once more.
