I have known Shane most of my life. He is without doubt one of the best diesel mechanics in the USA. I have seen The Peterboat from the interstate, but haven't had the chance to see it up close. He is a friend and a great guy along with his brother Cale. It would be hard to meet better people anywhere.

[@dougevans6389]

73trident mcrider he seems like a great guy I would love to meet him and I would love to have a Peterboat!

[@Slickedvisuals]

I’ve been on and in the Peterboat. It’s insane! Also I’ve been inside the semi hanging out the roof lol

[@73Trident]

@@Slickedvisuals I have not climbed the ladder yet to into the Cabover sticking out the shop yet Next time out to Shane's shop I'm going to.

[@ladycharsw]

I never saw or heard of that before. My older son drove a big rig for 22 yrs. All the 11 Western States. He and wife lived in Fresno. God Bless you all. 🙏♥️♥️🥰🦋.🍔🌭🥞🍟👍. Cheers. Charlotte in Oregon

The world needs folks like this, Awesome! Thanks Chris, stay safe. Pat. UK.

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

Imagine cruising down the lake and all of a sudden you see a Peterbilt coming towards you😳

[@HarrisPropertyMaintenance]

train horn included

[@RJ1999x]

With Ed Cervick driving it!

[@scubatrucker6806]

😂😂😂

[@youtubejunkie6625]

Dude! That whole rig is sick. Love the ideas you came up with

[@MrBigR928]

Wow his truck sounds good! That Peterboat is awesome. He and his crew are very talented. Great video Chris 👍

[@bunker108]

I’ve driven by his shop countless times right off I-25...I must stop by sometime!

[@fatknucklesproductions7517]

New Mexican with Canadian accent. He must be one of those future people when we all merge

[@22mrranger]

Wrong bud, that is the new mexico, arizona, and utah accent.

[@fatknucklesproductions7517]

I’ve never met anyone from any of those places. Sounds Canadian to me. Which I have heard. Actually I did know a girl from Utah she didn’t really have an accent though and her dad didn’t like me because I wasn’t down with that Jesus nonsense

[@trreb1]

@@22mrranger Sounds Canadian to me, don't cha know eh.

[@kylemorice4870]

I've met Canadians that to me didn't have a accent really but I never asked what province they was from. I've heard ones that definitely had one. The ones that I didn't really pick up on a accent from didn't sound no different from somebody from way up north in the states.

[@mikewhite3098]

That cat is to smart of his own good. Nice work

[@doncindeegoede7483]

As a retired Diesel Truck mechanic I Found this whole project awesome!

[@alwaysplayingwithtrucks5630]

[@indybama80]

Thats gotta b the coolest boat ive ever seen! Nice job guys

[@grandpajim329]

👍👍👍👍👍👌👌💪😍😍😍😍😍 THANKS FOR THE TOUR!!!!

[@heavydsunlimitedservice5741]

Well done, that is some fine engineering! I would be showing this combo off at every show I could too.

[@benjamingonzales4327]

Always great to see our locals in New Mexico. Great job gooooo new mexico

[@ronaldgillaspy9654]

Really cool - can’t wait to see some videos of it in the water.

[@BlueDually4x4]

It is cool to hear the guy talk about it. Because I have seen pics of it, but never seen who built it.

[@adyyoyo2105]

ok i know shane durkin im good freinds with his son and ive been on the peter boat pesonaly and just let me tell ya... it was awsome thanks again shane1 still your #1 fan1

[@jackroy9094]

That is beautiful Shane.

[@ImDanimal85]

I have passed by this shop numerous times, he always has some bad ass rigs out front!!! Nice build hope to see it on the water some day!

[@16Willmanutd]

I love the ingenuity they used building these vehicles.

[@lakeviewgarage3103]

Great interview, I enjoyed how humble and honest this man was about what he built.

[@dennisrice3170]

[@tombig4011]

This is awsome, love seeing things that are different and out of the box.

[@gregp.80]

That thing is a total chic magnet in the marina. Cool

[@randym99]

I saw this on line like many others.So great to hear the build story from the owner and get to see all the details of this machine.Love how you allow folks to be themselves in your interviews.Fantastic job as always Chris.

[@saabjunkieSPG]

This guy is awesome. Love the Peterboat!

[@matthewmcclain1316]

That thing is cooler than I expected, and I expected it to be pretty cool.

[@anthonytaylor4348]

Met a lot of cool people at the show and got some good pics of the PeterBoat. Awesome set up.

[@raychambers3646]

I've heard of thinking outside the box , but this guy's thinking outside the boat ! There's some clever people out there. It's a bit big for UK roads.

[@ehhjeep]

You got to do a video of it on the water under way!!!

[@terryw.milburn8565]

shane sure has a 1 of a kind, Wicked Build, Thanks, Chris ! ATB T God Bless

[@jeremymccardle3696]

well its got the pre 77 dash in it.my dad had a 74 w a 400 big cam . 13speed . had to jump thru a hole just to get in the bunk. had air ride and a.c. on the roof. memories

[@stormyweather9054]

They were called " coffin sleepers" 1 way in & 1 way out. The exciting part of the old roof a/c was when u went around a corner & all the condensation water came raining down INSIDE the cab .Course they didn't work so good anyway the cold water felt good in the summer .

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Im half tempted to get a craiglist special and an old reeferbtrailer to convert to a mobile home seeing this.

[@joshsummers8606]

Brandon Caldwell that idea sounds cool

[@brandoncaldwell95]

@@joshsummers8606 Hell ya, they make 60ft trailers. Can build slide out systems and all yourself. Full size garage in the rear too. It be a monster setup. I know Spacecraft RVs does it already, but nothing beats one built by your own 2 hands. Its be like a 5th wheel camper just full sides garage to take a car and tools. Sorta like the weekend warrior 5th wheel campers but bigger still.

[@johnnaron9659]

That's awesome. I want one now lol

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

What a build, what a fricken build. A peterbilt into a boat. That’s great. Fantastic idea

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

Rodney Saunders Useless? The hell are you talking about they are useless as a truck? They are literally the same as any other type of American Big rig just with a peterbilt body and interior. They also are good looking too. So, what makes you think peterbilt, is a bad truck?

[@Daniel-gi3jo]

A video on the water would just punch this up

[@fernandogonzalez4834]

Wow that is one cool truck

[@gallegos77pgr]

Love their work. Seen it from the interstate. They also have some nice old cabover. 😃✌

[@mr.sealandtv3024]

Very cool.. i want one ..

[@TinaTJStankus]

That is freaking awesome. I want one!!!

[@jamesbaca5845]

New Mexico again that's great.

[@JohnVH-diy]

Lay an air mattress under the hood and it’s a camper boat. Awesome rig.

[@ludovitbakic7548]

Awesome👏, had the same idea with freightliner 2 months ago😀

[@53Peterbilt]

BIG thumbs UP!!!! LOVE THIS!!! Waytago Shane!!

[@tylerdowd]

TRUCK YEAH! PETERBILLLLLLT

[@jothankyou2]

💖💃🍹sweet. Great build

[@devinrussell2372]

It is missing a mural of Peter griffin from Family Guy.A mural of Peter Griffin on the Peterboat would suit the Peterboat well.

[@chadjensen9801]

I seen this probably about a month ago going through salina Utah headed out of town a SR 50. I wish I could have gotten a better look at it. Awesome build!

[@gagemartin5519]

This thing is awesome

[@verlonbowden911]

Thank you for your video and I enjoyed watching your video, and your truck and boat with wave runners are the best ever I've seen in my life. Such a great idea you came up with on the pontoon boat just out of this world cool. My grandchildren would have a blast. You are very talented and the help you had. Thank you for your video and God Bless you and your family.Spec. V. B.

[@scubatrucker6806]

This is a awesome setup.

[@bling1634]

Sweeet truck and boat cool video Chris

[@ze_german2921]

Dammed that is so cool. I wanna get a Peterbuild just to ride around with now. Haha

[@abramspearman9046]

I just drove past that on my way to Tucson.

[@danw1955]

Hah hah, I know Shane. Lemitar, NM is probably only 130 mi. from where we're at (short trip in NM!) Never knew they were working on this, but it's been several years since I've been over that way by Socorro. Nice rig man! Hope to see that PeterBoat chugging around down at Elephant Butte one of these days! Awesome job!😁👍👍

[@williamarden5441]

That's freaking awesome

[@truckinstuff2849]

I like the boat...maybe a bumper up front with a swivel fishin chair...🎩

[@jimpikul8551]

Clever work, Gents! Maybe put your marine radio up in the visor. And under the hood could be where you stash the PFDs and throwable for John Law. Nice job!

[@coronapack]

Need need need to see footage of it on the water

[@chrisproctor1411]

Just mind blowing so cool

[@bigeddie1231]

[@Rwalt61]

Cool ideas in this rig. Well thought out.

[@crownvicky]

Fantastic. love it all.

[@aliciagreenlee4183]

You should seriously make the hood articulate and fold open into more seats or even kayak racks

[@thephantomzoneboxing]

Cool rig, cool dude.

[@Trashencash]

Nice rig. Hi from española NEW MEXICO

[@johncholmes643]

He's right about the people at ATHS shows, and that's because there ain't no loggers there😂😂

[@rogerhanks8391]

Hi. That guy should have his own KZbin channel, cool cat, I think I have stopped by his shop looking for some old Diamond Rio parts? Those are hard to find out west anyways. Take care. Hawk out!!

[@edwardthayer9386]

Cool

[@BruceLee-xp5fc]

Seems like a cool dude

[@toyotacrawler84]

I seen this in Monticello Utah.

[@hqgirl567]

That’s actually really cool

[@travelinthru9519]

In the mobile home ministry that's how they run their hitch in the back is from the power steering

[@javanbirdbluerusselling5285]

Brilliant!!!!

[@TheEljash]

Genious

[@TheEljash]

Rodney Saunders typo

[@TheEljash]

Rodney Saunders & who said i was lol

[@DMTruckSpotting]

Is that a 289 or a 359 converted to a 4x2?

[@sighpocket5]

Nice!!!!

[@YOLORACER]

It must be hilarious to see it coming towards you on the water.

[@tpelton]

i wonder how it actually sits in the water. seems like a fair amount of weight sitting on the front.

[@WARD5KUSTOMZ]

Love it

[@pankajpurushram1055]

I respect this guy for believing in old school and heart ...

[@vegas_the_trucker1595]

Under the hood of the boat is a good place to put a generator.
