Project Boat - Living in the 70's! Building a new one and repowering an old one. Sea Trials day!

This time around Nick puts his ugly ducking in the water with it's brand new engines while Andrew floats his oversized dinghy for the first time. This is sea trials day.

The banter, and even speech patterns, between these two is IDENTICAL to that between my dad and his five brothers. Many a fond memoryof growing up in Tasmania seeing these two lads on the TV.

I'd take that cat any day going outside dams no lakes in WA. Great show again.

Two very different fishing options 🤩 but I’m gonna say the CAT for the win 🤙🤙🤙 Though I’ve gotta say, I do like all that deck space in the tinny 👍👍 But also, while the Cat took the lead, you’re talkin 140hp to 70hp. The tinny held its own 😎

Another entertaining video, nice work. Keep rolling them out.

Fabulous cat and I rode on it , lucky me

[@Massiverobsfishing]

Great video Love the cat

[@craigf9031]

Fairly certain my grandad built that Dominator. If it's from Markham Manufacturing in Port Macquarie then that'd be one of them.

Why not put an alloy floor in the custom build?

[@MrNatural]

Mmmmm……..thoughts on the welding?

[@wilhelmuskruize9681]

could you drop the old 70's at my place I would love to have them, cant afford them on a pension

[@jb243wp]

Yep good choice Nick, keep Harty away from launching.. His track record speaks for itself.

[@biggestcomplainer]

@21:41 wake looks odd

[@markradcliffe4483]

Have you had another cat since that one?

[@Don-kr5tp]

trim the engine out a bit, raise the bow. It will perform better

[@squiddly-diddly]

Just dont get a 5m duck boat....what a waste of aluminium.

[@silkynormal5034]

Why didn't you rap the cat instead of the disco colour theme lol? Could of made it look way way better.

[@ryanadams3617]

It’s a disco cat as You said, but if it was to rap, she’d probably like a bit of snoop dog or vanilla ice or….. or hang on i think i misunderstood, did you mean wrap 😂

[@IceManDude21]

What a classic... What a stupid place to put the fuel tank breather!!! I'd hate to think what other design flaws are in this boat if something so simple was thought to be ok. Take it back or dump it at the nearest scrap metal yard!! Better off building your own boat and knowing every square inch of the thing than to rely on incompetent designers/builders to do the right thing that you would pay a small fortune for!!!
