Reconnecting a loose sailboat propeller to its shaft.
Taking the shaft out of the boat, with the boat still in the water.
Machine shop repairs in Cartagena, Colombia, it's a cultural experience.

yes I am trying to wait patiently for the right boat. I have also been searching for a Alberg 30 since i know a few of them have been around the world. Can you give me some other names of boats I could look up? I think I have covered almost all the full keel tiller steering sailboats in the 28-32ft range but if you can give me more i'm all ears.
Thanks

My advice is wait to find the right boat, and when you do drive a hard bargain.
I think this is a buyer's market.
I'd be happy to suggest some alternatives to SC 31's.
But, the SC is a great boat, tough, sea worthy, loads of space to carry stuff, and quite fast for its size and weight.
When the wind gets strong, it will keep going.

thats right I forgot you had said once the recession hasn't hit yall yet. Same here I'd rather a boat that was factory done
welderman27 2 years ago
You could be right, but boats seem to sell for quite high prices down here. The recession has not hit here, yet!
Either way, I would prefer a factory completed boat, unless you can find a REALLY well crafted and professionally completed boat.

yeah I seen this boat once online and then never seen it again. Thought maybe it had sold. The funny thing is this exact boat which I think it is the one you're talking about sold in pensacola FL like 2 years ago and sold for so much less then what the new owners want for it in DR. and there doesn't seem to be anything new on here. Sure wish this boat was in the states now and i think the new owners could sell it faster if it was

Never had to change one of those. I cannot imagine that it can be done in the water, but you never know in Colombia!
I note that there is a SC 31 for sale on the Dominican Republic, self build interior, over 30,000!

that was really cool I'll have to remember this trick for later on. Now the cutlass bearing how do you replace this? I assume the boat has to be outta the water for it correct?
welderman27 2 years ago
Good question, there has to be more space than I realized. When they pulled the shaft out they plugged the top first while the shaft was still half out, then the bottom. This is Colombia, they improvise!
Glad you liked the video.

haha how did that guy get in there? and pretty cool I had no idea you could do that while it was still in the water. Gosh it looked way to easy
