Restoring boats

Post by Ozzie »

This has stuff all to do with investigators or sailing but given many of us on here like restoration of boats and scavenging old bits to do it, I defy you to not watch Mr Ho to the end of this video. In fact I’ll list two of them . Not only is he a mechanic, auto lec and welder but his boat design and fabrication skills are pretty good also.

I repeat, this has stuff all to do with investigators or sailing. It may however spur you on in your work. 8-)

Like I always say Ozzie, if it was built in the first place, then it can always be re built or repaired, or even improved on in most instances. Just need some skills and the desire to do it. Sometimes however it can possibly be not a sound financial decision to do so, but not often.
