WELCOME ABOARD
Help Bring This Boat Back to Life
This isn’t just a boat project — it’s a comeback story.
Every bit of support helps bring this boat back to life.
Why Your Support Matters
I got this 33ft boat for free… but bringing it back to life isn’t free.
Every repair, every part, every upgrade comes out of pocket.
I’m not a pro. I’m learning as I go — making mistakes, fixing them, and sharing everything along the way.
When you support this journey, you're not just helping fix a boat…
You're helping prove that anyone can start from nothing and build something real.

you already understand this.
