In this video, Matt and Kristen transform a $5,000 Hunter 37 sailboat into a modern luxury yacht through a detailed 2-year restoration journey.
The project follows the complete process, from hauling the boat out for hull repairs and marine painting to major structural and mechanical upgrades.
Inside, Matt and Kristen redesign the interior with smart storage, modern finishes, and efficient living solutions for life at sea.
Every stage is shown start to finish, including fiberglass work, engine upgrades, custom cabinetry, and final launch.
This transformation proves that with patience, teamwork, and skill, an old boat can become a true floating home.
