Better rigs using proper windmill blades have been used before on a yacht. It means you can travel in any direction, but the power from your version will be pretty poor. If you would like to play with windpower on yachts, I suggest you look up Flettner Rotors. Check out my Playlist called "Flettner Rescourses"

Yeah this may be the way to do his car but not any of the other BMWs BMW suck all my people would rather junk their BMW then bring it to a dealer and get ripped off

Thad CD is an awesome looking body style, that rig has stories to tell man!

Here is snippet of original color (not colorized) film taken by my grandfather, Dr. Charles Kimberly, in Stockbridge Massachusetts on July 4, 1939. Earlier model of yours? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHankGtjZ5uZgLMfeature=shared&t=22 I have hours of color footage from his travels in that era, plus B&W from the 20's. At 23s in, it appears to me that the fire truck is a Ford COE - 1938? Correct me if I am wrong. My father and his mother are in the video, as well as my two aunts. Funny to see my late dad, born in '35, as a 4 year old on a tricycle checking out the parade. The COE jumped out at me. I'm a gearhead.

Would you ever sell it I would like to purchase it?

Do you still have it ? Would you ever consider selling it

What a brilliant piece of a masterpiece, wanna sell it

Could have so left norm at home

great stufff

I’m sitting in my living room with a smile on my face. I feel a sense of pride for you and I don’t even know you. Great work!

Integrity priceless

had one as a teenager, winter drove it as well. That thing would crank over and start every time in minus 40 with no block heater!!

Totally awesome!

This video was buried because there is no way i ain't seen this and this is all i look for

it looks pretty good what a build

Thanks for the video. Am contemplating the same thing for a tow vehicle behind the RV . Thought I might have to use a body lift/mounts to create engine clearance and allow for more leg room.

I think your girlfriend needs to not show so much cleavage there’s kids around😂

so cool

Awesome job on the boat but you shouldn't be given people rides because if something happens you're liable for it because that was your first test at least until you know it's safe

nothing quite like going to look at something to bring the community together.

Awesome video you rock

I didn't have a ramp so instead jacked it up and placed it on stands. It was difficult but manageable However Thank you for the illustration

Doesn't it have an automated voice?

Dang how awesome. And it looks so cool.

Didn't read the title til after I saw a propeller. Wait- does this thing float too?!!

very cool

Modern - Day Noah...

Awesome job

Diggin this. I kinda want a floatplane or a seaplane that's a houseboat too. I'm dying to find a plot of remote land and live on a lake in the middle of nowhere. This is a brilliant example of hybridization. Makes me think that anything is possible. Kudos. I'm definitely a new subscriber. Hope you'll post an update when the interior is finished? 💛

Final Value? Priceless!

I was about to replace my whole pipe and found the mid pipe bolts rusted so bad they are one with the pipe now. Glad I found this video, I'll just chop the flex off both pipes and replace it that way 😂 Thanks guys!

Love that the algorithm saw me watching “Ship Happens” and bought me this astonishing build. Absolutely loved this,one question,can anyone tell me who the special guest is at about the 10 min mark?

is that guy with glasses a playing caracter? he sound like he is an actor on a theater in 194o😂

Was it?

Well done brother. Kind regards.

I'm so happy for you! It's the first time I've seen it recommended but it's great!

That's very cool but I'm not sure out on the big water

Love to see the interior compleated

Thanks for this very informative video. I have a'38 D-9, 2-door Touring Sedan and have put a very nice completely balanced engine that is guaranteed to not fly apart under 10K. A transmission guy made me a A424 with two overdrive gears, and I have a Bowler shift manager that can be set to engage or disengage around 50 mph. I put a M2 W/Manual rack on the front, and a triangulated four link on the 8.8 '99 Explorer rear end. Viking adjustable coilovers and disc brakes on all four corners. I have a set of 15" US Wheels chrome wheels that have a factory prime so can be painted body color (Spray Source VooDoo Violet over pewter last prime coat). I have Goodyear 3" Whitewalls to mount onto them. I am nearly ready to move the completed chassis up under the body, which has been setting up on 6' 4x4s on very sturdy jack stands since 2016. I am 76, and had Prostate removed due to cancer in 2011, and and have dealt with increasingly frequent bladder releases in public since May 27, 2011. Last Wednesday morning, I had a surgery that opened the pelvic floor right between my anus and Scrotum. Today I have week-old stubble and horrid swelling in that area of my "sitter" and have a bear of a time getting comfortable. I honestly feel like a champion kick-boxer wore steel-toed boots and gave me a swift kick in the slats! It will be awhile now that the hurricane is going to hit us tonight. I spent the day putting everything that can fly in safe places, so as to minimize the damage. We will have an insurance claim this weekend, for sure. Hopefully the people that won't even listen to me long enough to have any facts to determine a response were interrupting me and really didn't believe me. That's ok, this weekend they will know. I just hope life after is easier. Thanks again. I was just reminded of what Jeff Chrisco told me when he was building my 318, which he overbored to.030 over. And said it shouldn't fly apart. I told him I didn't think I'd get it up to 4K. The main point he made was that he used gobs of assembly lube so that there was no dry start. To be sure. I took the distributor out and spun the oil pump until I saw oil in all spaces that I could see with the rocker covers off. When I started it. It ran to 200 rpm (I had the throttle set for that on the Eidlebrock 4-holer. About on the fourth day of running (15-20 minutes at a time) the power valve blew out and the engines innards were washed down but good. I cleaned it out, put a Mobil One filter on it and 5 qts of Mobile One synthetic in it and an ACES Holeshot Fuel Injection on it, an ACES distributor and fuel management system on. I'll wait and wire it all up permanently after the body is secured to the chassis.

Question: Have you thought about creating power from it? When it spins it reminds me of an Archimedes "screw" type of small windspinner I've seen producing small amounts of power (sort of a trickle power producer). But the lightness of the sail and how it spins, I'm thinking it could produce a decent amount of power.

really the guy with the glasses can't get up on the boat his voice is so annoying😂😂😂😂😂😂

King. Of. The. Sandbar!!! Cool. Unit !!

Best of the best what i saw in last year!🎉

The wheel bearing going to get salt water inside, have to drain it fresh water flush it constantly, that the problem with anfib. I wish he show more of the inside suspension .

Very impressive steel fabrication. And overall top job 👏

Very cool , any updates?

I love how so ,any people from your community came to see you and celebrate with you. That’s just such an encouraging sight to see. Great work on your creation!

Well I was definitely loving the build till the really overly annoying and loud dude showed up and then that's when I had to fast forward to get rid of him. It's unfortunate really that some things ruin videos for people but. It is what it is u guess. Too bad tho really. Pretty cool project nonetheless the less

You have such a good wife bro, we see it💪🏽💪🏽

Impressive
