We Found a High Tech Boat Shop Deep in the Jungle

Deep in the jungles of Guatemala, we found something we never expected: a CNC and 3D printing setup making custom boat parts, electrical panels, mock-ups, and more. From high-tech fabrication to beautiful marine panels, this little jungle workshop completely surprised us. We’re Blaine & Janis, and together with OSEA Boats, we’re converting our 78-foot aluminum expedition yacht Tangaroa into a hybrid-electric boat — while living aboard in a boatyard. This channel documents the real-time rebuild: hybrid-electric conversion, engine room redesigns, fabrication, marine systems, electrical upgrades, and the daily chaos of keeping a 57-year-old yacht alive. Some days everything works. Some days we accidentally create three new problems fixing one old one. That’s boat life. New videos every Thursday and Sunday.
