I was really looking forward to seeing this "Luxury wide beam canal boat thats like a 5 star floating hotel" Majorly disappointed. You should rename it " Luxury wide beam canal boat builder, with glimpses of the boat" Too much focus on the presenter and not enough on the boat. When you view a boat you want to see the boat, not the guy who built it. Take a look at Nick's videos from Aquaholic. Thats how to present and show the full features of a boat.

@tonycamplin8607 2 ай бұрын
It really doesn't seem to be a practical proposition. If you can only cruse for 5hrs, that's nothing, you definitely need a minimum of 10 hours for summer crusing. You don't mention how long you'd have to run the generator at night to fully charge the batteries, this is without using any of the inboard equipment, washing machine, freezer etc.. It just looks like a very expensive project just to satisfy the greens.

It’s a cracking refurb there’s no denying that, although not without its problems as you say. But 125k is too expensive. With some experience of boat refurbs I’d say you’re doubling your money there give or take. I appreciate the inflation since Covid but, with respect, this boat is 30% too expensive. You can still buy a 3 bed house in half of the country for that.

Very nicely done work. What are the benefits of a hybrid boat over a traditional diesel set up? Other than being a bit quieter, which can probably be matched with a good hospital silencer? Any fuel saving must be offset by the massive cost increase in the build. It's a lot of technology to push a skip down a muddy channel.😂
@Idle-Days 2 ай бұрын
Vibration is considerably reduced whilst on electric propulsion, which is the worst source of noise in our boat, which has a hospital silencer. I think hybrid should provide the best of both worlds.

Problem is the quality of the steel. Newer the boat, poorer the quality - Chinese import these days. I had 1929 iron build - still floating around somewhere - bit of paint every now and again to make it look good, but no pitting. Engine was 1930 - 2 cyl cov godiver (used in fire trucks) Only spares needed was inj nozzles, everything else remove,clean,put back. No money pit, and thump-thump all day.
@bluewaterboatbuilder 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comments. The steel industry in the UK is virtually nonexistent due to decisions beyond our control I’m afraid 😢. Hence the need to import steel from China/Taiwan etc. however it still remains the same that the best thing to do with mild steel is to blast it and remove all of the contaminants 😊

Hi Dave, In this video you are sitting in your office and on the wall is a poster advertising Vetus electric motors. I understand that they are an air cooled motor. Recently I watched a video about an electric motor that is liquide cooled. This is the link to that channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWWXY31joNKtedk Considering the experience that you have do you prefer one type of electric motor (air cooled vs. liquide cooled) over another and why? Mark Alberta, Canada
@bluewaterboatbuilder 4 ай бұрын
Hi mark unfortunately it’s a very one sided test almost like testing a mini against a Range Rover and not even got the facts right. The Vetus motor is raw water cooled not air cooled and size of propeller is a massive decision based on cruising time against power ratio that Vetus have spent months testing not just half an hour hope this helps.

I was wondering why the wide beam live aboard full time are free from VAT and why the narrower boats are not when living aboard full time on one. As it seems you can get a wide beam vat free for the same cost as a narrow boat with VAT. Where’s a good place for me to look to find out the running costs of both options please .
