- [Male 1] Well, this is the beginning of part two
of this (electric drill) Of this restoration.
It's (electric drill) It's gonna come out pretty crazy.
But we're gonna strip everything, even though these seats
are not too bad, they're really not.
(electric drill)
But you know what?
We're gonna swap 'em out
because the gentleman wants new ones up.
(electric drill)
(beeping and electric drill)
And that's one down.
Trying to get this seat right here off, the right front one.
Alright, so essentially in here, you come in here,
you got a couple screws.
You got one there and then there's also one over here
in the corner.
It's hard to see, but it's right there.
So, once you get those three off,
you should get this front area off.
So, you can take this off so we can reupholster.
Like I said it's not bad, but the customer wants new.
Okay, so it doesn't have, I don't think anymore screws.
Let's see.
And there it goes.
Voila.
Here we go.
I think I'm gonna go ahead and copy this template.
And offer the upholstery on my website.
Luxurytenders.com because at the end of the day,
maybe somebody wants to do this project on their own.
They wanna revamp the little Nautica, so I wanna probably
do this for the 13, five and the 15.
So, you guys can get an upholstery kit while I'm at it,
Alright.
Alright so taking off all these things
'cause we're gonna do a real, real good clean,
cleaning on this, but I wanna see something though.
We're on a Nautica 15 here.
I wanna see if these fit here 'cause if they do
I might go ahead and make these, too,
and have them for sale on where?
On luxurytenders.com
Your advertising source for inflatable parts people.
I'm just tryin' to make it easier for everybody to relax.
I'm just coming real quick, not to take away from the 15,
'cause this is ...
See how it's here, and it's exposed?
This one has a little functional area.
So, I'm digging this.
So, you see this is just a little,
and this like,
I'm liking this feature.
I'm gonna go ahead and see if I make a couple of these.
I got just the guy to take it to.
Compared to that it's use of space,
it's got space but wants to go ahead and put there
stuff to stay dirty in there.
We're back to the 13 five.
So, check it out.
So, we have the piece here, right?
But the other side, it doesn't have it.
Because, obviously here's where
the battery goes, okay.
So, but I'm digging this.
I like this you know.
Put that in there.
Have a good little dry area.
It's gonna stay.
One of the things I don't like about these Nauticas
like this little hatch here, I think it's useless.
I mean, it's not big, it should be big.
Open area, but you work with what you've got.
It's one of the things I don't like about these.
This storage situation, I like how Novurania
has, like a whole cooler here and you just pop it open.
So that's functional.
You know you can use it for a couple of cold drinks
or what not.
I guess they said oh well, we'll use this thing.
But, this is not that big.
But, it will be functional, like a little icebox.
Alright, guys so here, we're taking off the front
from the console of the 13 five.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna make a mold here.
So, we can go ahead and start selling this
for people who might want this.
The way it'll work out is you send us your old set.
We'll send you a brand new set,
and it's an even trade.
See there's an expense here and stuff like that,
but at least you have the option now.
You'll have the option.
Alright, there we go, we have it completely naked.
Now, what we gotta do is we gotta get someone to make this.
PBC piece with this cushion here.
See how it's actually thicker here?
Then it tapers off to smaller here.
So, we've gotta get somebody that can do that
with this piece so that we can have it.
I mean imagine, we're trying to reverse engineer
whatever the manufacturer did
because the manufacturer doesn't exist anymore.
So, it's good.
Instead of reupholstering it and having somebody
do all of the hard work,
we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna do it.
All you have to do is send us the old one
and we'll get you a new one.
The 13 five and the 15 model.
We're taking off the foam
because we're gonna use another foam
that's actually better to duplicate this.
Cutting all of the foam here.
(laughing)
And there you go.
(machinery)
She's all coming ...
We're gonna check everything.
Everything along the way.
We're gonna check to make sure that this boat,
the guts, and everything is good.
So, that's the whole idea of this restoration.
Alright, so we're getting into it right now.
We're getting completely into it because
these are the kind of things
you really can't show the customers
because they freak out.
They freak out and you're getting into the guts.
It's almost like talking to a surgeon,
ya know before he gives you surgery
and he goes, oh look let me show you a video of me working.
Then you see somebody's guts all everywhere.
It's just not something you want to see.
You just want to wake up and the boat is fine,
and everything is good okay.
So, the reason I'm going through all of this
is because I wanna make sure everything
is good and functional.
If it's not good, I'm taking it out
and I'm putting in new.
So, that's where we're at right now.
Gonna have all the space to look at the wiring
and all of that stuff.
That's kind of the reason why we're also doing it.
You'll have more space to get into the guts of the boat
and make sure everything is good.
If something is not good, eliminate it.
If it's not being used, if it's not supposed to be there,
we can get rid of it.
So, that's where we're at right now.
(knocking)
There ya go.
There you go.
We are in the boat.
(laughing)
- [Male 2] My God.
- [Male 1] Right now, right now,
everybody's like oh my God ...
One of the reasons why we open all this up
because look just one cable was off.
So, to get access to find out what we're doing
wire by wire, we're checking everything now.
We're gonna check everything, make sure everything is good.
Go in deep, deep, get in here, get in here, get in here.
- [Male 2] Do you see?
- [Male 1] Yeah, cause the last thing you want
is to be on a mission when something doesn't work.
- Yeah, so we're upgrading the steering wheel.
We took it off another boat that we got here.
You're getting in a fit there Patrick,
relax Patrick.
Stop your, your head is beating buddy.
Relax, take it down a notch.
(pounding)
(motor)
It's on.
We've got the gas being pumped out.
We've got it going into two different tanks.
Making sure we've got everything out of the system.
See right here we have a good pump.
Alright, so we're just putting our good gas in here.
Back into the tank
and we'll mix the tank around and then pump it out
so there's no bad gas left inside there.
So, we want to make sure that this new engine
is gonna get good fuel when we fill it up.
So, we're pouring a little bit of water in here now.
'Cause I always like to double check and triple check
and make sure, especially these boats that have been
sitting a while, that that fuel pump is working fine.
I'll clean all this stuff out after the fact,
but I definitely want to make sure
that thing is working real good.
(running water)
So, you just turned it on.
Let's see if it starts spitting it out.
No.
Put it back in there.
- [Male 2] It has to be all clogged up.
There we go.
- [Male 1] So, well we're doing now the fun stuff.
I've got Hosea here.
Hosea is the man when it comes
to polishing here at the shop.
He did that Apex that we have back there.
That was terrible.
So, we're using 600, 800, 1000, 2000, I don't know.
It's coming out good.
We've stripped everything off of the boat.
So, we can go ahead and get everything.
We took the windshield off.
Everything is coming off.
We're shining it down now, the entire boat.
Gonna start polishing it up
to get a nice, nice, nice gloss on it.
That's the process people.
I'm telling you this thing is gonna be a lot of work
but this guy's gonna have a brand new boat.
Brand new looking boat
for half the price of a brand new boat.
- [Hosea] Got to use 1, 000 sand paper.
I'm wet sanding right now.
Making sure everything, all these patches
and stuff like that, gotta get all of that stuff out ...
- [Male 1] Okay let me show you our home made tools.
I want you guys to see our home made tools.
Look at this.
This was a Chinese stainless steel knife
(laughing) that was made specifically for this job.
So, I'm not selling this one on my website people.
It would be a shameful thing for me to do.
Alright, alright, alright, so we've got some progress.
We got some progress here so check it out.
Hosea has already done 600, 1000, I think 1500,
and 2000 grit just to get it nice
and nice and clean looking for polishing.
I mean it's bear.
This stuff, we're not gonna take off
because they're gonna put new Suzuki stuff on this.
So, we can't do that.
It's getting there.
It's getting there, this is the last hand.
Then the polishing starts.
Once that polishing starts,
you're not gonna recognize this thing.
So, look what we have at the shop,
we made this tube
'cause ya now we're selling tubes on the website.
We might have some, obviously we have used tubes,
and we have new tubes.
Obviously we can make any tubes.
But this is a tube we have that's made already.
We're gonna put it on this 13 five body.
That's not the color in the direction I wanna go.
But I wanna put it on there just in case,
maybe I might change my mind.
Besides, I told Patrick let's match your boat.
Let's make it match your boat.
So, we're gonna put it on here
just so we can see how it looks.
Alright, so we're just putting this one like to ...
I don't want it to be gray.
I want it to be up to gray.
I want it more like a clear blue, a blue theme here.
Alright, just an idea.
Alright, heres the moment of truth.
Gonna see how much after sanding,
I mean look, anything with paint and stuff like that,
and gel coat.
You wanna buff.
(electric buffer)
My guys, look at this, look at this, look at this.
It looks new.
It's already new, look at this.
Look at this.
Guys I'm doing this so you can see
that you guys can do this too.
And if you can't do it or you don't wanna do it,
you know someone who can.
You will have to pay for it though.
Alright guys, so check it out.
We are, I'm telling you guys
this a full, full restoration.
So, what we're doing is polishing
the bottom of the boat now.
Making sure everything is perfect.
Look how naked she is.
She's naked and afraid,
but people she's gonna look beautiful
when she's all done.
Look at this.
I mean, she's a little dirty right now
'cause we're still working on her.
It's getting there.
It is getting there.
Now, I changed the steering wheel.
I'm also gonna change these things here
and I'm gonna put' em in stainless steel.
So it'll look nicer in chrome.
We've gotta a lot of work going on
this week coming up.
It's gonna be very, very, very, very transformative
for this boat.
So, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna do the base in this white.
We're gonna do the stripes in this blue.
And we're gonna do the brim in this Sunbrella Navy.
So, I think this will match really nice
with the customer's boat.
I've got these other options too.
I don't like the way that this contrasts.
I think the captain navy is a little bit too dark.
It looks almost black.
I'm going with the navy and this combination right here.
(machinery)
- [Male 2] You see this on the visor?
You see?
I doubt that not too many people have that.
(laughing)
Alright so, we're getting all of the inside
all cleaned out now.
We're getting everything clean.
Remember, we've got to make this inside look night and day.
It takes time and patients, but little by little,
we're getting it, getting it, getting it.
It's a big restoration here.
But, I'm telling you the customer
is gonna be super happy.
- [Male 2] We're trying out Star Brite.
It's a non skid deck cleaner.
- [Male 1] Obviously this thing is pretty nasty right now.
So we'll see if this thing is as good as it should be.
What supposedly this does,
is lifts dirt from non skid surfaces,
leaves non slippery, protective polymer coating.
I don't represent this company
but I do try a lot of products
to see what works and what doesn't.
We'll see.
