Hull Honest — What's really inside the boats they're selling you. We tear apart hulls, strip down outboards, and show you exactly what dealers, manufacturers, and brokers don't want you to see. No market speculation. No recycled press releases. Just a mechanic's hands inside real boats, showing you what your money actually bought. Every week: teardowns, outboard diagnostics, brand exposés, and the insider tricks mechanics use to buy smarter and fix cheaper than the industry wants you to. Before you buy your next boat — look inside it first.
