I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, I will take your criticism on board

I will be doing that now John another person mentioned it and it didn't cross my mind. I do really appreciate all of you giving feedback and ideas thank you. If you see or think of anything else please let me know. Thanks John

I was going to say which pockets my jeans or the boat 😂😂😂😂😂👖👖🛥️🛥️🛥️🛥️

@ 🫣really Dave🤣🤣🤣

@@C3BFA will do mate

@ guttered to miss your live stream Dave. Just watching replay now. So much work has been completed and to a really good standard mate.

No need to say sorry john you always catch up, I hope you had a great holiday and i hope you enjoyed the video

@@L-lp9fl Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful. Good luck when you do yours

Good question, I have no idea at the moment, it depends how much resin and glass I use. Then I can say, I will be starting it very soon and making videos too, so will hopefully give you an idea. Thanks dave

Thank you, I will. Try build the lives back up again going forward getting ready for boat lives

Thanks Gary I appreciate you watching them, it's normal steering at the moment, I will be upgrading to hydraulic at a later date once funds allow.

You will be grinning like a Cheshire cat on launch day 😃 good luck with the rest of the build looking forward to watching your progress 👍

@garymurray4878 Yes I will, thanks Gary I appreciate it

It's getting there vikki. I can't wait either

I can see your point, but with the shape of the gunnels and the the rest of the reinforcement I will be doing it won't be an issue. If this extended part ran all the way up and there was no other reinforcement I would be worried. But it only runs half way and it's there to improve the look with a full length cuddy. Good observation tho ninja thank you

@@C3BFA fine job. Just thought I’d call it as I saw it. You are building in a lot more stiffness and it’s already a much better build than when it came out the factory. Spring not far off, so things will get warmer soon. Happy 2025 and keep the content coming.

@Ninjavaz Thanks ninja, I really appreciate your input and ideas so if you see anything else or have any ideas please let me know it's all appreciated positive or negative.

@Ninjavaz I think it's much better than factory and it's more modern materials etc. And better things fitted like separate storage etc

Thanks Mike I appreciate that. Yes I'm definitely going to cut it now everyone has said the same they can't all be wrong lol. And the more that say cut it like yourself just reinforces it that it needs to go. Thanks for your input Mike and your kind words I really do appreciate it. I hope you continue to enjoy the channel in the future. Thanks Dave

@C3BFA your more than welcome mate 👍

@mikeinsley6702 Thank you

I will get that done Steven. In other videos when I have been fibreglassing I have shown all. Products and said where they are from and showed how I do it too. I'm not sure which videos but it's definitely in the Nab17 play list videos

Maybe if you seen how long I spent building the mould you wouldn't be so impressed 😂😂😂. I spent hours building the mould, my bloody ocd wouldn't let me stop. I am very very happy with the result tho, to be totally honest my original plan was to bond the bulk head in place, but after more thought I decided I'm going to fibreglass it in place so the mould didn't have to be so precise after all. But at least I know I can do it in future if needed. I have literally started fibreglassing the other half of the mould today it needs another 4-5 layers of fibreglass ans I can pop it out of the mould hopefully it turns out OK. Thanks for watching Michael I really appreciate it.

⁠awesome work. Definitely a tedious process. I also agree with cutting the line you have lined up on inside of gunnels I think it would look slick.

@michaelrichards9479 Thanks Michael, another vote for the cut I see. When I next do work inside the boat I will cutting it off on video so if it looks terrible I can blame all of you 😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for watching Michael ans thank you for your help and input I really do appreciate it. When the boat is done lots of people watching can say that was part of my idea or my say and I like that I want viewers to be part of the boat restoration

Thanks bear. It's definitely moving in the right direction now. I can't wait to get it done

Thanks Neil I will be cutting I decided I will do it in a future video so you can all see it take shape. It is Neil is getting closer by the day I can't wait

Thanks Simon, yes I think I will cut it off everyone has said the same. You might be right with the painting inside pockets and the cargo net is a good idea. I was planning to put some small pipes in for drainage but I will look to see if I can find some elasticated cargo net that could work well. Thanks for the ideas

Thanks Carl I appreciate it

That's no problem, thank you for watching. It is very cold it's hard to stay warm because I'm not moving much. Yes i think your right once the glass work starts it will take shape fast. The preparation work from spraying the top is going to take a very long time tho so hopefully it don't hold me up to much

Thanks Neil. I seen your pics you did an amazing job. It's definitely getting close now I can't wait

Thank you Mel. You just made me smile thinking about launching on a summer's morning watching the sun come up will I motor out to the grounds I really can not wait and I will be bringing eveyone along via videos. It's getting close to completion now it is very exciting. Thanks again Mel I appreciate it

@ anytime mate

Thanks Brian I really appreciate it coming from you, I know you know your stuff. Lots have got bored now it's taken so long but I'm trying to do it right and with out rushing which I think is obvious now three years later 😂. But there's not long left now and I can be proper proud when it's done and it's safe and strong too. It is a shame I have poored this much time and money in to this of type boat, it could of been a commercial or charter boat, in hindsight that is lol. But I'm adding features to this and it's my own and will be perfect for what I'm planning to use it for. One of those things is skate with you hopefully

Absolutely mate!! I had a big catch up tonight, was a binge😎 I’m coming on the maiden voyage-be a privilege to tow it and drop her in if you fancy it on the big truck? 😍

@callibrian Thanks for doing that Brian most the videos are a bit draggy and boring it's not like the skate video but I do appreciate you having a binge watch thank you. I'm definitely up for that and yes I'm happy for you to launch it. I would like to think we could do it later this year but will see how everything goes this year with the boat and engine. But we will definitely make a plan for 2026 and more than once a year hopefully

Thank you. Pretty much everyone said the same so it's getting the chop lol

Thanks tris and thank you for watching ans support what I do I really appreciate it thank you

Thanks nick. I think I will cut them thanks for your input I appreciate it

Thanks casters. One person has said build a panel to go along so I'm going to have a mess about when next up at the boat and see how a panel would look. All have said cut it so I'm 99.9% sure that's the way I'm going now

@@C3BFA Choice is all yours Bro dont over think it

@castersfishingwales2038 Don't over think it??? I think it's a bit late I was only replacing the deck three years ago 😂😂😂😂

@@C3BFA Ha ha lol bro have noticed lolX

@castersfishingwales2038 😂😂😂😂😂

Hello day fisher. Thomas Hill said the same, it didn't cross my mind but I will definitely be incorporating some drains it's a good shout. Might use some little bits of pipe the ones that they use for toilet over flow. What do you think? Thanks for watching and thanks for your input I really appreciate it.

@C3BFA any sort mate would be handy for when your washing boat down

@Dayfisher I definitely agree it would it didn't even cross my mind that's why I love these comments it really does help so thank you. If you have anymore ideas please fire away I'm all ears

I think it would maybe even a diesel blow heater but funds are tight to be honest just been Xmas and any spare cash needs to be saved to finish the boat off. I'm hoping the temps will lift soon enough to glass anyway. I hadn't really thought about adding a panel tbh but it's not a bad idea. The wiring and sterling cables are going to be running through the grey pipe you can see in the video under the gunnel stops them hanging down. Got decisions to make now ans more thinking 😂😂 Thanks for your input Thomas I really appreciate it

Thanks sloth, third person to say cut on the line so I think that's what I will do tbh. Took me ages to decide what shape to do the tank but I think this is good like you say. I hadn't thought about drains on the pockets but I am now lol I will add drains that's a good idea. I think maybe some small waste Pipe plugs maybe like the pipe on the flybridge. Pop it in the pocket corners. What do you think?. Thanks sloth and good thinking

Just a thought incase water gets in when cleaning boat,as to how,i dont know enough to say tbh,lot to think on,have a drain in the two chambers,or just one in rear,with a channel between the two 🤔👍🏼

@sloth4666 ye I will have to make a plan for the drainage in side pockets

Thanks Lee that's two votes to cut it now. Also thank you for watching long enough to see that part I appreciate it

@ anytime Dave it’s coming along great

@boatfishingscottyano Thanks Lee I really do appreciate it more than you know thank you

Tell him Lee lol

Thanks for that Tim. I still haven't cut it yet was waiting for comments. I also really appreciate you watching the video for long enough to see that part. Thank you

@@thebooths2727 Yes it's alain story specialist tackle. He is on Facebook send him a message say dave from KZbin told you to message. Let me knkw how you get on.

Hello. I'm really not sure if there's any difference also I can't remember the amounts it's been a while since I worked on this engine now sorry I can't help thanks Dave

Ye they are John. I love the electric start on this makes live so much easier and it's so smooth too it's great. I love to boat to it's a perfect package, shame it's up for sale but I have the other boat that's not to far off ready and I can't use two lol

Thank you wicked tuna. It's luck of the draw on our coast line it depends if there passing through. Been a few years since I tried properly to be honest so no idea if there's many about

Thank you wemcal I appreciate it

@@johnrimmer5955 That's no problem thanks for watching John. Yes I'm hoping to get back on with it after the 15th as I have time off work and fingers crossed it's above 5c I can fibreglass again then

Best Office in the world on days like this but definitely one of the hardest jobs going

@@robbie_shark_1 hopefully get a full Video one day Robbie

@C3BFA that be brilliant 👏 👌 😀

@robbie_shark_1 I agree see if anyone will be kind enough to invite me along

@@carldawson832 happy new year Carl

@@tonyortega9877 Thank you Tony. My mates does the same basically when you put it in forward or reverse don't do it slowly, Put it in positively. I'm not saying slam it forward or backwards but do it like you mean it if that makes sense. They don't have clutches it's direct drive so you will hear the gears meshing. If it still sounds like it once in gear then there's an issue but if it's fine in gear it's normal. If its really bad it could be a stretched cable, as far as I remember it's not adjustable.

​@@C3BFA Very interesting. This is my first 4 Stroke outboard, had plenty of 2 strokes, and is any crunched in to gear then normally it was the idle adjustment or sometimes the cable was stretched. Strange if this is normal for these suzuki 4 strokes

@tonyortega9877 your cables could be stretched im. Sure you can't adjust them it should be fuel injection so no carb to adjust like the old two strokes

Because you wouldn't get the mould off Danny. The pins need pulling out to remove the mould

@C3BFA ah ok thanks

@dannybananas132 no worries

I prefer impact screw drivers on the oil one just incase it strips but I'm sure the impact would work aswel

@@stephenbull8962 Thank you Stephen I really appreciate your feedback I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Dave
