Day 2: How Much Did My Thailand Longtail Riverboat Cost?

[@DoctrParker]

Is this what yall thought it costed?

[@djwilliams4714]

it's going to cost more to probably freight it across the ocean to FL,... lol, not really; however it's going to be a big chunk!!

[@ts6141]

costed?! c'mon!!

[@RWPG]

You could say he is being accosted by these grammar police

[@thedelcodave]

I wonder how much the boat builder would charge for a set of plans? From studying the videos I bet with some dimensions I could recreate a Longtail riverboat Made in USA. It would be neat to build one with wood grown in the USA and put a american engine on it then race the two boats.

[@aproudamerican2692]

I knew the boat would be one of the smaller costs. So I was in the ballpark.

[@hardknox1917]

Super cool of you to do the breakdown , it’s even more cool that you chose to get a real long tail and run it on the Florida waters . Like others have said in previous uploads , please don’t wrap it and hide that beautiful wood craftsmanship

[@Gecko4nine]

Love the breakdown and the transparency with the Longtail riverboat! I have enjoyed watching the journey you have had with this new boat and excited to see it in the states. Also happy birthday to the pup Winston!

[@DoctrParker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BenjySparky]

Parker, you rock! Tell Winston Happy birthday! Thanks for telling us how much everything was. Peace

[@sandyloyst1811]

Excellent brake down Parker, let's get this man to 100k. You're pod cast room is delicious, the blue tones and light string is so relaxing. Hugs to Winston. Thanks.

[@stevenallen4123]

A few more of these good videos, and that boat will pay for itself, bro!!! Keep it up. I’ll always support yal guys

[@niceguybille]

Super duper stoked on this project, these boats look awesome! Thanks for itemizing the cost breakout, that’s really interesting. 🙂

[@movingon5951]

Living in the Philippines is so much cheaper as well, the exchange rate to day is almost 58 pesos to 1 us dollar. I'm just like you, I can wait to share gifts ASAP. Great video....

[@dzlfumz20]

I work at an Isuzu dealer and been a Isuzu mechanic for 30 years. Reach out if you need a hand with parts or diagrams

[@theatomproject007]

Don't they sell coffee table engine blocks out of Thailand? Would be cool if they took that engine apart and made it into an exploded view engine table for you. Maybe as a Christmas present. That's all I'm saying.

[@boltonky]

Great breakdown... Think we would all be happy if food prices were the same as places like Thailand (could be done if there wasn't so much politics involved, here in NZ we eat food that we export and re-import or get the crap left overs) Keep enjoying yourself... As a engine builder once said if you know who does it best import them to build it in your own country for a few weeks and this can also give people an experience of a life time

[@finnenjr]

so if you hire the boat bilders and buy the tickets in Bangkok fly them to Murica let them build a second one and it will cost you little less than a 3rd of the price... it worth it, make it a video :)

[@Lucianrider]

Good idea!

[@johnfritz7497]

Congratulations on your beautiful long tail. There can’t be lot of those monsters in the USA. Just be careful. It looks dangerous, but really fun.

[@jeremywatson2831]

Keep it up Dr Mitchell. I'm a boat guy also..do it!

[@justingonzalez9854]

I just subbed because the badass boat of course 🏁🏁🏁🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 cheers from Michigan

[@V8Power5300]

Like some other guy said, turn the motor into a coffee table and ship the rest separate

[@SaltyMcBoatFace]

nice that you included stuff like flights , hotel , food ect , most youtubers would leave that out whenever showing how much their import cost them

[@DoctrParker]

Had to put it all out there!

[@gsppuffer]

Why can't you import the engine?

[@michaelfowler8289]

You can get that motor for a lot cheaper than that if you just tear the one down you got and send it in pieces you can't send it all at the same time you got to send it days or even weeks apart but you won't have to pay no 10 grand for a motor

[@mmartian1969]

Check and see who needs a container when you are done with it. I wouldn’t doubt if Garrett, JH or someone else in the group could use a container on their land to store stuff in.

[@Sonny_Eclipse]

Ok, I’m sure it was stated in another video but I haven’t found it. So, can you tell me why the engine cannot come to America?

[@Car_Cast]

So how much did the price go down because I’m sure the boat builder got to keep the engine

[@klev2008]

thank you for sharing, its cool to see

[@shroom903]

Just watching one of your previous videos i had the thought in my head that the boat was cheaper than getting it here

[@tripdenton7232]

I am a freight broker and could definitely cut that shipping bill down. Holler at me, I would love to help get that boat on US soil!

[@mikekelley7589]

I want one of these on the lower Colorado river.

[@iamunknowable]

15-20k is about what its worth in the states. For 70-80k you should be getting something much cooler and refined.

[@bzcustomz]

What about a custom trailer for that bad boy?

[@smooth_ops2942]

New subscriber here from your brothers channel who's also named Garrett... For a second there I thought TJ Hunt had a second channel about teeth and turbos 😮😂.

[@paultaylorduke]

Glad it went better for you than CB Media’s Thaitanic long tail. 👍🏻

[@thecrim22]

Could you not take the engine to bits and ship in the components then rebuild it when it gets to the us?

[@Cr125stin]

I know you just got the engine shipped in boxes. But why couldn’t you put the engine in the container and ship it?

[@mitchellprice7290]

Good job parker!🎉

[@littlesid2499]

What was the reason for not being able to bring the engine into the states?

[@allochris]

typical political protectionism in guise of epa policies

If the point is too put as much sheet in the water, congrats 👏

[@stanleymartin1613]

Cool video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@niceguybille]

Like many I’ve seen these turbo diesel chooching long tails on the internet for a few years now. Your “turn-key” delivered price is right in between what I guessed you paid for just the boat (40-50k). Actual cost is wild, delivery cost is not surprising though. Really sucks you cannot bring that sweet custom built engine but if you sell that back there’s some funds to deduct from the total I guess.

[@IIBundo]

im the same exact way with presents. I can never wait

[@marcohuertas692]

Why couldn't you ship the engine back to the US?

[@user-kd3bt8sj9y]

Did we need an event for these in Sarasota.

[@lsonechevelle]

Why cant the engine come to the USA?

[@FastasFox35]

What about a 4BT Cummins motor? You can make lots of power also. Easy to get in the states as well. I hope you hit 100K soon buddy

[@JohnnyWilliams-j5v]

He should stay with the 4JJ1 motor on it. It would be the first ever 4jj1 in the states which is very cool and 4jj1 would produced better power but a 4bt would be a good idea as the parts are much available in US

[@JohnnyWilliams-j5v]

But shit the engine on that wouldn't pass emmisions in the US lol

[@warrenmichael918]

@@JohnnyWilliams-j5v How do you suppose he gets a restricted motor over here?

[@leviduff2740]

​@@warrenmichael918yeah, I'd really like to know how to import restricted engines into the US. Do I need to talk to a cocaine smuggler or what?

[@69Dartman]

Sometimes cheap ends up being not cheap when you jump through all hoops to get it home, but nobody else is going to have one. If you want it and have the money without any hardship more power to you. Probably technically it's still cheap, I've never played in the speciality boat world.

[@dieseldummy4250]

I wonder if they couldn't have disassembled the engine and shipped the "parts" here 🤔

[@icedcoffee4182]

You’ll easily make your money back on this boat in no time. Cool 👍🏼

[@charlesflakusj.r6344]

are you gonna get a trailer to put this 30 ft long boat onto so you can move it around here in the states cause our waterways are not connected?

[@jamescrockett6887]

Im a little bumbed regarding no more car content. That was great entertainment. But I watch for you and who you are and your continuing story. Hopefully, the new engine will be as good, or better possibly?

No Christmas song to compete with Garrett? 😂

[@DoctrParker]

Hahaha I should!

[@Chris-zo5ze]

@@DoctrParker No. You shouldn't. That song was horrible. lol

[@lnr12241]

9000 dollars for a 40 foot container is A LOT. I hope that was for them to build the thing to hold the boat too. Those containers are not that expensive

[@warrenmichael918]

I thought that was cheap for a 40 ft container to be shipped here. I have heard guys claiming double that to get cars and other toys shipped here in a container from over seas, maybe weight plays into it too though.

[@lnr12241]

@warrenmichael918 he said 9000 just to buy the container. PLUS shipping. We buy those containers at work often, for way less than that

[@warrenmichael918]

@@lnr12241 Look at his cost breakdown, the 9K was for shipping , i bet he meant shipping container and shipping. At least i hope because like you said, these arent that expensive. Especially close to any ports, these suckers are almost free if you can haul them off.

[@lnr12241]

@warrenmichael918 yes. What you said lol 👍👍

[@jrh1175]

wouldn't it be more cost effective to fit as many long tails as you can in the container and then sell on once in USA to recover costs, I'm sure you could fit like 4 in there easy

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

I don't understand why you not ship the engine in parts and just assemble it

[@roguemod1551]

@DrMitchell Make the engine into a open view coffee table to import it . Thai people are amazing at building those tables . Then re assemble it once it gets to America . The turbo and piping and all the bolt on stuff can just be shipped to America . Problem solved .

You obviously aren't anywhere near a bayou... Plenty of long tail boats around. They are almost a necessity in swamps and shallow water. Granted, I've never seen one tricked out like this though.

[@robertjohnson4784]

@Chris-zo5ze What you're talking about is a aluminum hull boat with a air-cooled motor around Louisiana swamps. What he has is a hand built wooden thailand boat not many around at all

[@Chris-zo5ze]

@robertjohnson4784 yep... a wooden boat wouldn't last long bashing over logs in a bayou. Still a Longtail though. Those Thai longtails are purpose built drag boats.

It’s a cool boat but where I live and the rivers I run that boat would be match sticks. The gasconade river in missouri would chew up and spit out a wooden boat. Be cool at lake of the ozarks when it’s calm and all of the cut idiots have left for the year
