[@malcsurfleet3888]

Good luck for the future,can’t wait for the final result.

[@AquaMarine1000]

Hi Tim, I am sorry for your departure from KZbin. if life tells us something, nothing is forever. Enjoy your boat with your family on board. All the best. Cheers

[@leondelore6705]

I can understand your position. Good luck. You’ve done a good job

[@jeffreylord8172]

BUGGER , Tim, I've enjoyed your journey, with the boat, hope you and the family are ok.

[@Davestattoo]

All good, will miss the vids. You need to do what's best for you and the family. Just keep us up to date with the progress every few months so. Take care, Dave

[@jameslandi4688]

Want you to know that I appreciated your videos, your "can do" attitude, your close relationship with your dad, and your thoughtful narratives regarding your boat restoration work. I think your audience would have expanded over time, but I certainly understand that video work takes a good deal of time, and a lot of effort. I urge you to curate your work for your kids and, eventually, your grand kids. Your wonderful character and humanity are well depicted in the videos, and your family needs to have this record of your work and effort.

[@tuteyflutey]

Mate I love watching your videos, they are inspiring. A setback is something to overcome, I look forward to seeing your boat "finished". As a timber boat owner I know it's never finished

[@CliffBuckley-f5b]

Good Bye Tim, Thank you for the time, effort and sweat you have put into making your videos. I have been totally entertained and sometimes intrigued by your journey of turning a beat up old lady into a nearly sparkling princess. Hope the future is full of only good things for you.

[@jackgrayson832]

you did good son, you let no one down... you must take care of the family first.... come back with some family cruising when you can... love yall...

[@begoodjohnny62]

Hi Tim, you are an excellent presenter and content always spot on. Take a break, recharge and give it another crack when you feel ready. North Avoca LT Viewer and thank you !

[@deancleavesmith]

You have let no one down mate. Every episode has been great content and great production. Two channels, a young family, work and all the other life challenges I honestly dont know how you did it for this long. The boat is looking great, take time to enjoy it and go easy on yourself. Thanks for the journey!

[@gardeningfishingjimw9364]

Gonna miss watching the progress of the old girl Kiarra, Tim, but, as you said you gotta do what you gotta do and am glad you have not sold her; just no videos. Good luck with everything and I do understand you are busy and we all have the same amount of time each week (168 hrs to be exact hahaha). Cheers and good luck mate. :)

[@alanrobinson9558]

Very sorry to see you go Tim. I've thoroughly enjoy watching your amazing journey. Wishing you wellin the future.

[@eltonwiltshire6904]

Gday Tim. I am staying subscribed so that when & if you feel comfortable to put up an update, I won't miss it. I have thoroughly enjoyed your project, which at times has spurred me on with mine (not a boat but renovating a 120 yr old house. You certainly don't owe me an apology cos that's how things come to an end sometime. Well done!

[@johnnybuss5637]

😢 Sad that you are leaving, it has been interesting to have the benefit of following your work with the boat. I know that renovating a boat is not easy and that sometimes you want to give up on everything. Hope we can see when you install the new engine in the boat and the result. Good luck ❤️!

[@gavinflower587]

Good luck Tim. You´ve not let anyone down and you don´t owe the internet your time. Life, family and responsibilty always comes before hobbies, and KZbin. It´s a shame as you´ve put out great content and kept it real the whole way through. Thanks for the effort.

[@philipstreechon4523]

Very sorry to see you go Tim. I've thoroughly enjoy watching you. May you have fair winds and a trailing sea on future journeys.

[@marcelsacksen]

Sorry to see you leave, have enjoyed watching your videos more than you can imagine. I do however understand and respect your décision, good luck and keep up the work! Cheers…

[@toyfoxokey]

Thanks for your time, God speed.

[@rogergibbs2937]

Hi Tim, I feel your frustration having done similar on a 30' steal boat. Fortunately I only had the interior to do and repaint the fly bridge. Finish her off in your own time and give us the finished result. I feel in the long run you will be pleased with the result. (and so will we)

[@PETERDREDGE]

Just found this again and am sad you're going. Thanks so much for sharing your journey!!!!

[@captbill]

Good luck with the work projects on Kiarra. I'm sure you'll get her fixed up just the way you want, and things might go faster without having to worry about that pesky camera all day!

[@joachim.charleshogg4728]

I am very sorry that you have to reduce the content on your channel. I have enjoyed the content and watching you achieve a great deal with your boat/project. ALL the very best and look forward to seeing you in the near future. Regards

[@raytaylor7979]

Good luck with everything from here on. When ever I'm at Taylor beach i can run out and have look from the bank cheers for the vids

[@djmini2numpty141]

mate, the hours you work at your day job and then the hours you work on Kiarra and other projects , all of which involve a million man hours not only just to do, but video and edit for little or no cash reward eats not only into your family/free time but also can impact your finances. so here is a big thank you for sharing so much time and effort with us and wishing you all the best for you and your family. I'll be stalking Kiarra again in the future no doubt and look fwd to her new powerplant being installed and seeing her in all her finery, when ever that shall be. All the Best, Frank from Sydney ( ps: roof looked great in real life lol)

[@davidwilles8577]

Sorry to see you go mate, It's been interesting to watch your progress with the old tub but as you said KZbin does take a lot of time for not much in the way of recompense and the family must always come first. We all know how expensive things have got recently in Australia and I wish you well. I will keep subscribed and one day when you finally finish the boat it would be nice to see it in all it's glory, if you could post a few pics on your channel to show us all how it has ended up.

[@greglomas7620]

Good onya mate, I reckon you have done bloody well. Be nice to see her when you finished making her purdy

[@philrawnsley8341]

Such a shame, thoroughly enjoyed your channels, you will be missed. As others have stated, you haven't let anyone down, you have to do what's best for you and yours. As for your comment about skill, skill comes from doing, you did and it went slightly wrong, so you learnt from that, that's how you become skilled, so don't put yourself down over it, you'll get there, as we all do/did. As a 60 year old engineer, believe me when i say how i've learnt over the years,. Anyway, thank you for the channel and i hope you will keep us posted on Kiara's progress, even if it's only a couple of times a year. In the meantime, take care and all the best to you and your family..

[@stephensmith5317]

Hi Tim, dont go. you have done an amazing job. we love watching your videos. the boat looks awesome and always look forward to your updates. you havent let anyone down. I know how tough it gets not just the work you do and all the editing. your a legend and a genuine bloke. love ya bro.

[@PaulSmith-hu5su]

Good work Tim I understand everyone with a mortgage now has to do more hours now to keep this ponzi scheme going. Please make sure you do an update when you get the BMW engine in the boat

[@joccherry8777]

Good luck Tim thanks for the plug. Totally understand your position mate, it’s hard enough keeping boats afloat and vehicles rolling without trying to film it and edit Good luck brah, hit us up if ever in the harbour

[@pgprentice]

Hey mate sorry to hear this but I fully understand why. Far from letting anyone down you have been an inspiration. I hope we get the odd update every now and again. Stay safe and keep up the good work. Thank you for all the awesome vids you have made. Cheers. (Always have a towel handy).... 😁 Paul from the Sunny Coast.

[@jeffreeves1467]

Don't give up, you've come too far and are doing great!! Stay the course.

[@timmillikan1155]

Thanks for sharing your ride with Kiara, time to enjoy the fruits of your labour. Best of luck to you Tim.

[@roussell]

I'll really miss watching you, one of my favorites on YT. For me personally I'd watch even if it was just a camera setup in the corner while you worked with no editing... Having said that, I completely understand your reasons. Take care and if you ever get the time and interest, throw up an update, even if it's just a few minutes, we'd love to see how everything works out for you.

[@ericlee3421]

Good luck, hope you well. Now the pressure of filming is off you can enjoy the boat. Would be good to see the BMW engine go in. Cheers Buddy.

[@DWM-zy9qb]

😥😥I enjoyed all you videos. Nice to see the water during the cold winter months up here in Canada.

[@karenhenderson1567]

I'm going to miss your videos. Good luck with everything Tim

[@toomasnelson4561]

Mate, it has been an interesting time watching your work on the boat. i can understand your opting out, i will stay subscribed for the odd update, like when you catch a record fish from the back deck. Cheers.

[@corymelland50]

Best of luck to you in all you choose to pursue. I have sincerely enjoyed you and the channel. Thank you.

[@michaelclutton8446]

Thanks for showing your work, I have enjoyed every video. I was looking forward to you installing the bigger engine. I can understand your reason for not making any more videos. Thanks again Mike UK

[@jimw7916]

Id say , the BEST fish "the misses ever caught" was YOU laddy! .......... I used to wait with baited breath for your vids on this channel but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Thanks mate take care.

[@Mardy72]

We will all miss the videos mate, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Even if you shoot us a quick update video every few months, that would be great. We are all keen to see the woodwork finished and the BMW motor go into her 👍

[@brendonwood7595]

it would be great to see the odd update video if you have time but I completely understand the extra time it takes when trying to get things done while filming and why you would choose not to. Best of luck with your future endeavours both with the boat and in general.

[@scottjacks814]

Tim, I’ve watched every episode. Thank you. You are NOT letting anyone down. You have downloaded massive amounts of DIY from a guy just like us. No clue but, let’s get to work. Faith, Family, Food, Finances, then Friemds. Keep Christ centered and he WILL guide your path. Have you thought about a quick intro the quick time lapse of the project your working on that day. Quick 5 or 10 minutes. I think you tried to put too much content. Your audience loves you and your integrity. You might try a quick time lapse on the primer or paint…. Head… rub rails… no words just action. An intro, outro, I think that would be quick, painless, and it may take off. Up to you. God bless from Oklahoma

[@grahamsaltwell7826]

Take all the time you need mate but would love to see it if you install the BMW engine into the boat. Take care.

[@pete-mate3524]

Hi Tim, so sad to hear that you're pulling back on your video updates, but I can completely understand. Sometimes, you just want to 'get stuck unto it' and not mess about with camera's and commentary. I've thoroughly enjoyed all your vid's so far and was hoping to catch up for a colab video at some stage (I'll be coming down that way in late April). Maybe still catch up for a beer?? All the best, Tim, to you and all your family 🙂

[@gregbolitho9775]

G'day Tim, Like the new roof so far, if it solid enough to jump on, its solid enough to chucka line or 4 orf. Like the doors and latches.So, Harpers Shed is off too? I'm happy, this end✋[Hi 5] . I liked Kiara don't really like a lot of other boat channels because they don't have 'my sorta boats'. Thanks bloke. Theres the other one I've missed. Stay vertical Tim!

[@bilgerat711]

You my friend have done an amazing job with your project boat, appreciate the sustainability aspect, and work involved in owning an older boat, I also have an older timber boat and are about to embark on some videos showing the boats journey through some repairs, etc, I have a youtube channel but due to lifes issues have not done much on it yet, .I already see the amount of work involved in producing something worth watching from watching you and your channel .....a big ask so a bit daunting but I am determined to get something out there, I do think though it is a shame there are few chhannels fom Aoz or NZ showing the older classic-timber boat repair journeys, issues, good ba dand downright bloody ugly and think that this is a shame and one of the reasons I was subscibed to oyur channel having previously owned an older Hartley launch as well....thank you and please post some updates and maybe once you have settled things a bit you might throw some more up,

[@johnmendoza3679]

Chin up mate I will miss your videos but I can understand where you’re coming from. I will still stay subscribed looking forward to a future update 🍻👍

[@kranson8514]

Take the time you need Tim but try and keep record of the progress and maybe some time in the future we'll all get to see . Never say never bud, I'm sure of one thing we'll ALL agree we enjoy both your channels. Disappointing of course we are because you've touched on many our own traits reactions frustrations and so on, we've learnt about your skills determination and honesty to get the job done. You've gained our respect and appreciation and that's why it matters, So for now do what have to get yourself in a good place look after yourself and your precious family good luck and see you again bud. KR🇬🇧😉👍

[@dropbear6740]

Hey Old mate, when it stops being fun it becomes a job, and if your not getting paid why do it ! all the best for your future projects.

[@pkd4697]

Sad to see you go. This channel and your other channel have been awesome for the run you have had. Sorry it wasn't prosperous enough for you. If you do have a change of heart, I will remain a subscriber. I will really miss your engine install and the completion of the roof and wood repairs. I was really wondering, as a side note, why you chose to start a second channel. It difficult enough just doing one. I suppose you had your reasons. I really do hope to see you again.

[@HarpersBoatShed]

Thanks mate and thank you for the support. As for the 2nd channel at the time I thought it was the right move to separate the boat away from the rest of the projects. Looking back I should of just kept it all together as your right in saying keeping one channel going is hard enough

[@davelawrence6777]

Sorry to see you go mate we have enjoyed living Victoriously through you but understand life gets in the way and yes I'll stay tuned 🤞

[@nobbybennett575]

Hi Tim, will miss the vids , but will keep an eye out for any you put up in the future (Hopefully). All the Best mate.

[@nevsmate8663]

All the best Tim. A pity but u gotta do wat u gottado mate cheers.

[@christianbradshaw7360]

Hi Tim do what's right for and family.. will keep a eye out for you on the tub best for luck

[@boppermacca9346]

Mate, I've loved watching your channel & hope to see a finished product on the boat.. So is this just the boat shed channel stopping or what.. do we still get your garage content?

[@kevinmartin3859]

Hi matt sorry about your decision but it' is your life and nobody else's but I will make a suggestion involving the fibre glass I watch the durocell project and matt is brilliant at fibre glassing worth watching as for your decision I have made one myself very life changing I'm going back to the UK from Thailand I'm 74 and I want to see my grandchildren grow up so good mate whatever you do 😊😊

[@larryg.4398]

Take care and good luck with everything you need to do. We will miss you and just in case you feel like posting something in the future I will keep an eye out for updates. Hopefully you can find a way in the future to come back and we will be here for you.

[@Mylifelovingit]

I am sorry that you are ending your youtube journey. Please please please post a video with your new engine in. I would really like to know how it performs

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Tim , sounds like you need to give up on this boat starting to stress you out too much at the end of the day it’s supposed to be fun not stress sell it so someone else can have the fun , you look like you’re about to cry it’s not worth it

[@desmondgosling4993]

hay its all good mate you got two do what u got to do .. i will miss your videos mate for sure

[@moosenbeans903]

Lost but not forgotten. Love. Jim

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Tim, I don’t understand why you don’t make a rail around the top edge stop the water from going over the sides and also it will me a good hand hole if you’ve got a walk around the edge of the boat anyway that’s just my opinion probably doesn’t mean much Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia

[@AlistairPalmer-qe9fd]

Sorry you are not continuing. Videos have been great.

[@olivierlohman]

thanks for the videos,

[@trevormutch6098]

i know this is probably a bit late but the reason the edges didn't work out for you is just a simple mistake as you need a larger radius on the edge, as fiberglass wont bend on such a tight radius. its a simple mistake that a lot of people don't realize.

[@moosenbeans903]

A friend from the start is a friend to the end. It's not good bye it's see ya later. Please keep us updated now and then. RX-7 patrol. Kiara, life

Take a Bow Tim one of the REAL boat channels out there bar none 😮😊 just a bloke trying to do shit. 😅 quite honestly when it stops being fun and takes over ya life time to pull the Pin. 😢 KZbin has made it so hard now with there sell, sell and don t do what what ya told we won,t promote ya crap. Which would grate being an Aussie an all.😅 😮 Don,t let the roof get ya down yeah bummer needs remedial work but what doesn,t. Ya may want to put a runner drip strip in to hold glass down. 😅 Ya did need a rest ya were looking quite knackered or ill 😮. She will be a beauty when done and serve ya for many years. 😊 Go have a good break enjoy ya family and ya other toys and we won,t mention the Patrol..?😅 If ya do a vid in the Future just do it on ya phone no editing just what ya shoot is what we get although fully understand if ya don,t 😢. Might I say I envy ya shed what a place.😅 From NZ be well now go swig a tinny out the CHILLY BIN see ya Cheers Nick. 😊🎉 p.s Remaining Subscribed just in case a vid pops up who knows when.

[@garyedwards7375]

At least just do walk round and let us see how it's going !

[@petermiddo]

mate, I can't say I'm not disappointed but family and life comes first. Always. And every time. Good luck, wherever life take you. Thanks to disability and discrimination, my budget never extended far enough for me to buy a boat and kick off *my* youtube channel. The $5k I have came close but ultimately fell short as everyone want top dollar, even for the worst vessels out there. Not being mechanically included nor having ever done any fibreglassing in my life is also a hindrance. (Also, the sudden passing of my cousin who was into boats, who was going to teach me everything, has devastated me....) Maybe that was for the best as I'm better described as Autistic than Artistic. Because I am Autistic and, despite there being a large proportion of people on the Autism spectrum who are so inclined, I am in no way artistic. And that includes filming and editing. Highlighting the beautiful Moreton Bay, Gold Coast Seaway & canals, and the inland waters of the SE Queensland, North-Eastern NSW area is probably best left to someone else, when someone decides to.

[@howardcornwell9841]

Understood, bud! Thank you. Best of luck, chin up ! 🫵😉👍
