SMALL BOAT Project Ep.7 - FIRST TIME AT SEA! Harbour Mooring setup 🛥

[@AirbornePirates]

You legends! What would you like to see me to first with the boat? 🏴‍☠️🛥

[@Paintopia_VR]

YOU NEED TO HUNT SHARK IN THE BOAT ASAP, WE NEED THE FOOTAGE OF WHITES IN OUR WATERS BEFORE SOMEONE IS EATEN! IT IS AN URGENT MATTER!

[@alanwatson739]

See a great white 😄

[@branchsnapper2228]

Wreck searches with the sonar?

[@Ryan-vs2em]

Freediving off it

[@TheReptileDude2024]

Go find a white

[@rebbeccakelly2038]

Wonderful you should go shark spotting, watching all the work you have done and everything would make you wanna cry seeing you on the sea with the boat

[@kalkand9128]

HI Mate, I would like to thank you for all your boat restauration videos, I just bought a small 19ft boat myself last week and as a new boat owner your videos helped me lots especially the wiring and hook ups. Thanks again

[@AirbornePirates]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad it helped! I enjoyed the process! All the best with your 19ft boat

[@branchsnapper2228]

Brilliant. You must be well chuffed Captain.

[@joegrundy9423]

Great to see her on the water pal 👊

[@janetc988]

Lovely boat, fantastic scenery, I hope you don't bump into any great whites as you may need a bigger boat. Couldn't resist that . Happy boating.

[@pietropes1322]

So good to see her out on the water, what a journey so far....looking forward to see what comes next and maybe a few shark sightings, keep it up dude.

[@davethornley89]

Awesome to see it on the water! Free diving wrecks? Merisia will certainly be within reach and there's a couple of others along the coast, look forward to seeing them.

[@Andysfishon]

All the hard work done, now time to enjoy it and find them sharks.👍👍

[@clydebestsboots]

Well done your a legend. I want you to enjoy it!!

[@stevencavanagh1613]

Great to see the boat finally in the water and I cant wait to see what you find at sea , good luck 🦈🇬🇧

[@Winch67]

So you ended up with "Tiller Steering"‼️😂🤣

[@Ryan-vs2em]

Very enjoyable series!

[@davidjbiscoe957]

Thanks for sharing your journey with us restoring Charlie bouy

[@MegaMolster]

Hi there been keeping an eye on your channel for awhile awesome stuff mate 👍 the steering cable should be an easy fix, if you unbolt the steering cable from the steering helm. It’s just a locating bolt to lock the cable in, once removed wind the steering cable out of the helm. There should a cable guard coming out of the other side of the helm. Basically swap the steering cable and the cable guard around. Wind the cable in to the helm and bolt it all up. Make sure you try to pull the steering cable out to make sure the locating bolt has secured the steering cable. I’m a fan of your channel and a wildlife fan in general and used to work as a marine engineer on the Isle of Wight. If I can help with any advice please ask. Good luck on your adventures 👍👍

[@AirbornePirates]

Thank you for the tips! I will definitely give this a go 😊

[@MauriceTarantulas]

A lot to learn! But looks as though its just a question of pickings things up as you go along. Buy the ol sea dogs a few drinks😉. A mine of info. (like experienced riders👍).

[@Steve_Hixxy]

Great boats the warriors. I had a 165 and a 150 loved them both. It looks like your tranducer is very close to your motor mate . Looked like a bit of interferance on your screen mate. Good job pal . Clean your wash well out i got ocd hahaha. Il come and check when im next over 👍🏻🤣

[@familyfishinggb8178]

Looking good 👍

[@scrannerz42]

Chuffed you've uploaded again, always look forward to these videos, been waiting to see more of the boat

[@MrRipsaw1]

I popped past the harbour today (Thursday) and spotted Charlie Buoy in the water, tide was in and she was still floating 😀. She's looking well, nice and shiney :-) Nice video of her maiden voyage - here's to lots of fun and adventures in the future *raises a glass of low alcohol wine. Looking forward to you catching your first fish ;-)

[@AirbornePirates]

Thanks mate! There were a few minor mooring adjustments needed initially but I’m happy! 😎

[@TheReptileDude2024]

This channel is so underrated, mate I love these videos!

Well done Matt on getting the boat ready. Great maiden voyage. I’m no boat expert but the back-to-front steering did make me snigger! What sort of length of trips are you thinking of doing? Great vid mate. Ben 👍

[@AirbornePirates]

Thanks Ben, I’m hoping to do 24 hour beach / cove camps on or from the boat could be a new avenue? 😎😎😎

[@nicp2226]

might be early days yet but looking forward to the shark chasing

[@socalsaltwateranglers]

Nice Boat! Love this series. New Sub 🤙🏻

[@AirbornePirates]

Awesome, thank you!

[@stevehedge]

excellent videos so far mate, this is perfect research for me as I'm planning to do exactly the same when I semi retire to wales in 5 years, great insight into the mooring setup. * will you take it out the water in winter ? * bit rude I know, but what sort of costs are we talking for boat & trailer, then the parts then mooring PA ? (I understand if you don't want to answer this) * have you done any day skipper, radio courses (think you mentioned you may have done radio some time back) etc * be interested in seeing the full process of launch & return mate keep up the good work

[@AirbornePirates]

Mooring cost is £430 per year for hard standing with Trailer and the mooring in harbour 👌 I was out on the boat today! 😊 That video is already out of the launch, ep7 mate And yes defo have to take boat out OCTOBER to April

[@danforbes4513]

maybe go see the seals aka the sharks food so you can show how many the is

[@johnevans382]

Nice job bud I have a 150 love I on Anglesey north wales where are you based many thanks john

[@thomasstack6437]

Did you pick your new 4 stroke engin ??? Great vid by the way . Love the boat !!

[@AirbornePirates]

I ordered a 70hp Suzuki but it was cancelled by the dealer. So we’re gonna hope for the best with my 2 stroke 🥴

[@MsJon52]

just to save you any future grief, the grey fuel line has a plastic inner tube which breaks down with ethanol fuel if you leave it with fuel in it, trust me I have had major carb blockages until I replaced with ethanol resistant fuel line, not sure what the speed of break up with occasional use and emptying the line every time after use, but the grey fuel line is bad news, just thought I would let you know.

[@AirbornePirates]

Thanks for the tip! I didn’t know this bud

[@davethornley89]

@@AirbornePirates no ethanol in our fuel on island at the moment from either of the suppliers, hopefully it stays that way.

[@brianmcphee506]

Do your bow shackles not corrode really quickly in the salt water? Stainless steel ones or non-rated ones might be better, provided you aren't doing any lifting and only for mooring

[@brianmcphee506]

BTW boat looks great 👍

[@AirbornePirates]

They’re galvanised, last for years bud 👌

[@brianmcphee506]

Yeah the galvy ones aren't bad but I find they rust around the pin where the paint flakes away. But there is definitely worse ones out there! Is your mooring rope nylon with a wire core?

[@alanwatson739]

Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies

[@samalex2180]

Hi what's your first name by the way? Wish I could go out on the boat with you. :) love watching your vids. Also, what do you think this one is - a white shark or basking? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXjaapp9eKydfcU

[@AirbornePirates]

Thats a white shark for sure, Cape cod have loads! Matt :)

[@colmsliney8773]

No life jackets on

[@AirbornePirates]

Experienced free-divers, not required in those conditions. Take your concerns elsewhere 🤙

[@StanWatt.]

I thought you might like to know - A video in French is in the link. - "A great white shark is currently swimming off the Magdalen Islands. Disaster scenario worthy of Jaws? Or quite normal and rather frequent event? We talk about it with the scientific director of the St. Lawrence Shark Observatory, Jeffrey Gallant, who has observed sharks for more than 20 years." www.salutbonjour.ca/2022/07/26/ces-jours-ci-un-grand-requin-blanc-se-permet-une-petite-saucette-aux-iles-de-la-madeleine.
