We Bought an Auction Boat…But Does It Even Work?

After the chaos of the Baja 1000, we're back in the Netherlands facing a very different kind of challenge: finding out if our auction boat actually works.

The truth is, we don’t really know yet. The boat only has 48 hours on the engine, just enough for commissioning and delivery. And since its delivery in 2023, it has been sitting. For two years. 😬

Until now, we've had no idea if we actually bought a functioning boat, or just a really expensive project.

So this week, we roll up our sleeves and start digging into the fuel, water, and engine systems to find out what actually works, and what doesn’t.

It’s messy, a little nerve-wracking, and very much a “waiting for the other shoe to drop” kind of week.
