In episode 2, we tackle the huge clear-out operation, which uncovers some heartbreaking finds and hazardous ☢️ discoveries. We also reveal the price paid for this wreck!

You probably already joined the MOA (Moody Owners Association) , but if not: very much worth it and very helpful forums.
As a former 346 owner I've subscribed and looking forward to following this project. Best of luck - the old Moody's are very strong boats and she's worth all the work 😍

We had to wait many months for this to legally play out before the marina would eventually advertise the boat. We immediately made an offer close to the asking price, which was accepted.
Following the purchase, she instantly became our responsibility for mooring fees and the financial drain begins!
Follow our story to see if we can save her from what was almost certain demise and get her back out on the ocean with close to zero budget and likely many hurdles along the way.
This is a massive risk for us, but one we just had to take a chance on!
I’m sure it will push us to our limits (already has tested us and we’re only a few weeks in 😅) but what would life be without jumping in at the deep end and just making it work one way or another 🤞🏻
Do you think we are crazy?
