Build one of these years ago but used a longer PVC that would not let water in and the PVC PIPE provide bouancy..vs the foam you use, i wrapped mine with nylon turf [carpet]...nice job!

[@stormsail]

I like the carpet idea I think I'll give it a try. Thanks

Great idea👍When drilling stainless steel try irrigating the point where the bit touches the metal with water. Use a spray pump bottle to keep the metal cool, drill bit sharp and you can drill at higher speeds.

[@stormsail]

Thank You, I'll give that a try.

[@FrenchyUSVI]

Great idea, interesting vid. Appreciated & keep going 👍👍👏👏 fair winds & following seas to you. Spend more time living aboard underway, not dockside 😂

[@stormsail]

Thank You and kind seas to you as well.

I’m sorry your home was threatened by the Marina management. Forgive me for saying so, but It seems that wherever you are in the world, there will be always be a marina, close by, that is blighted with a bully culture.

[@Draculasundergarmentz]

Cool idea. This could've been a 2 minute video

[@stormsail]

Thanks for watching.

[@2299jsimon]

I like it... maybe it's a bit wide to follow the curves tightly.

[@stormsail]

Thank You. It works great on my boat.

[@bjswope8797]

Nice tip

[@stormsail]

Thanks for watching

[@chuckaddison5134]

What make is your boat? Love the lines.

[@stormsail]

My boat is a 1975 Formosa 41.

[@gatecrasher1970]

good idea , where you based?

[@stormsail]

Thank You. I'm based in Alameda CA.

[@Ramenscooter]

Coyote point?

[@stormsail]

Coyote Point Marina in San Mateo CA. The marina is closed.

[@philipfreeman72]

You can sail up a river too.

[@stormsail]

It depends on the river. The old saying go's... On a sail boat, "don't sail into a shallow place that you can't sail out of."

[@tomhermens7698]

Show how it works under water. Waffle i dont need

[@stormsail]

I plan to do that in the near future.

[@johnrathbun2943]

I really don't like simple ideas but good ideas but they want to talk it through. I would have liked to see a before and after look of the bottom of the boat. But I got tired of this so I'm leaving.

[@stormsail]

Thanks for the like.
