SAVING A SEA RAY & Returning It Home After 17 Years! START TO FINISH

In this video, Sarah & I take on the challenge of restoring a Sea Ray boat that had been sitting for 17 years, unsure if it could even be saved. But in the midst of the restoration, I received a note on my car from the grandson of the boat's original owner, asking if he could buy it back!

This restoration journey became more than just fixing up an old boat—it turned into a mission to return a piece of family history to where it truly belongs. Join me as I bring this Sea Ray back to life and reunite it with the family that first loved it.

Buy me a gallon of gas :D
