Duckworth Offshore Water Leaks and Barnacles! Solo boat launch!

[@jamesmorgan7291]

Love your comment about Trump, with you all the way brother! Love the name of your boat as well.

[@jeffk9405]

I thought the larger Duckworths were self bailing out the back. Maybe the newer ones are? I will never own a boat that is not self bailing as you cannot count on the bilge pumps.

[@richstiefel]

The deck is self bailing - When mored the Duckworths slope forward away from the rear deck drains and gather water in the mid fish box Hope that explains it Thanks for watching

[@SolarBurrito]

No wonder there is a huge drop at the end of boat ramps! LOL. But seriously I like the fishing content. Cheers brother.

Sorry you couldn’t go sit Tuesday, Rich. I saw that the bar was closed and I knew you had said you were hoping to go fishing. I was able to get out again on Saturday. We had the best fishing that I’ve ever had on my little boat! Thanks for sharing about your boat and shouting out Fishing 247. I also follow him. Great channel!

[@richstiefel]

Thanks Earl! I'm glad you had a great trip! It looks like I'm 2 or 3 weeks out untill my next trip.maybe I'll see you out there.

[@TheReefRobber]

@@richstiefel maybe. I’ll be sure to say hi in person if I see you. Good luck out there!

[@richstiefel]

@@TheReefRobber That sound great!

[@AdventuringthePNW]

Wow, that’s a beautiful boat. Bet you she is a dream out in the ocean. Very cool.

[@richstiefel]

It definitely makes me smile when I'm out there!

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Dam you have awesome boat

[@richstiefel]

Thanks man ! I definitely feel spoiled every time I use it !

[@johnspecht7449]

Thanks. I enjoy your video’s. I know they are a lot of work, but thanks.

[@richstiefel]

I enjoy making them but it can be time consuming. I appreciate that your subscription to the channel and thanks for watching!

[@eddiegapasangra6859]

Congratulations you owning your Duckworth boat

[@richstiefel]

Thanks, Eddie I was very nervous when I bought it getting in that much debt but it all worked out! Thanks for watching

[@eugenepak8732]

Great videos! How did your ram 1500 pull the boat? I currently have a new half ton and would like to tow with it if possible. Thanks!

[@richstiefel]

It did great as long as you put airbags on the back and use it for short trips flatland preferred If you do longer trips and hills with grades you would want to go diesel

[@avidsledder]

Thys a kit boat from Cope. Make it yourself for 30% of retail. On your fish box, add a bimi top above to stop water falling over the fish box For the bottom coating, use Speedcoat 49. Hydrophobic paint that is super easy to roll on to salty aluminum and it’s what all the race boats use. Saved me approx 15% on fuel. (my $0.02)

[@Fishing247]

Thank you brother for shout out. Really appreciate it. I wished we could have rain down here. How long have you had your boat on the water? The bottom really look bad. I hope you will get your boat fixed and back into actions soon.

[@richstiefel]

it's been in the water for 1 year they are working on it right now I should have it back in a week or two and be back in action as long as the ocean cooperates! Sometimes the ocean can be pretty nasty November December Stay safe and keep the videos coming!!

[@L3Dhelpguide]

Hot boat in moorage likely causes electrolysis to the side with the barnacles.....my guess.

[@duanekenny5464]

Antifouling paint $100 per foot in coos bay just up the street from Y marina

[@09ChiefMaster]

Most charter boats actually chat on a 2 meter radio, if you have a ham lisc. Easy peasy!

[@richstiefel]

Good to know!

[@kingslew1866]

How you liking the new house???

[@richstiefel]

It's great! The best thing is it's a very quiet compared to my last neighborhood, the old neighborhood got way very overgrown over the last 10 years hope to see some more of your videos soon!

[@kingslew1866]

@@richstiefel Thanks Rich! Really busy, do have some footage, just need time to edit...

[@Fv_wake_n_bait]

i have a 2019 28 offshore fully loaded they still have the fish box at the same location

[@richstiefel]

Do you have the same issue? Water coming off the deck and getting into the fish box?

[@Fv_wake_n_bait]

@@richstiefel sometimes but i’m sure that not supposed to happened

[@Fv_wake_n_bait]

@@richstiefel join duckworth boat owners group on facebook

[@richstiefel]

@@Fv_wake_n_bait Duckworths answer to the water in the fish box is drill holes in the side of the boat and install scuppers so the water drains while moored I'll pass on that do to the chance of getting corrosion under the paint

[@changlee2766]

That's right, you need to take care of your Duckworth boat.

[@wildandliving]

There is an easier way to launch. You get to the edge tie a rope to the trailer and boar unhook the safety chain and winch then back into the water and hit the brakes your boat then slides right off the trailer you then pull it in by the rope hope on tie it to the dock or beach then pull trailer out

[@seriouscatchfishing]

its a 2020, and how did they do with the de-barnaclization? Appreciate your videos and your fishing gear it switched us into high gear out there!!!!

[@richstiefel]

Well it sounds like the pressure washed it and will have to scrape the rest of them off the guys at Newport Marine and RV are good guys I'm sure they'll get it handled for me

[@richstiefel]

another viewer would like to ask you some questions about your boat here is his email [e-mail]

[@seriouscatchfishing]

@@richstiefel happy to share as you did for me... [e-mail] is mine

[@seriouscatchfishing]

@@richstiefel great news! and yea I am going to throw some work at them here pretty soon.

How does a president help you buy a boat?

[@richstiefel]

Just watching see what's happens with our economy and income with the new King obiden in order.

[@LJRoss-zv8hw]

@@richstiefel ,I'm referring to 8 years of Obama. How did Trump make it better where you live? Biden and Trump are trash in my opinion.

[@richstiefel]

@@LJRoss-zv8hw LOL you do have some points. no one is perfect but all I know is that the things Trump did for the economy MAGA. Obama was a resident, not a president, and did nothing to move the country from the recession/depression Thanks for watching
