Making a boat for under $200

[@octaviofuentes7781]

Other people will be looking and probably saying this guy is crazy, not knowing he is the master at rebuilding boats

[@jarodmorris611]

Those people can say he is crazy and others can say, No he's a master boat rebuilder and both be right. :)

[@jonathangardner4475]

Beat me to it. 😏

[@thomaselliott573]

I completed a Naval Architecture Certificate, but I never dreamt of creating the lines plan for such a remarkably efficient combination of recycling and beauty into the ultimate, go-anywhere vessel. You guys deserve more than you get.

[@onemoredeadman]

The most expensive component in that build was the Sikaflex

[@DangarMarine]

Fortunately we only needed one tube. I think the most expensive component was beer. ;)

[@onemoredeadman]

@@DangarMarine No you can't count the beer as a component. It's a consumable like oil and grease 😁

[@hoyks1]

They stole that from Brupeg, so net cost of $0. Probably spent more on zipties ;-).

[@Jacobtheunwise]

I was going to go for a fish till I saw you fellas testing that monstrosity. Was hilarious to watch in person

[@stukeegan]

Brilliant, just brilliant. Seeing Marine Rescue cruise by was the icing on the cake.

[@DangarMarine]

They had just finished towing a larger boat in which made heading back in under our own steam feel very satisfying. :)

[@KowboyUSA]

The Adrain-Stucraft is guaranteed to become a very sought after marine vessel

[@DangarMarine]

We don't like to be elitist, but in this case. ;)

[@michaelsimpson9779]

There had to be one somewhere. ;)

@@DangarMarine yes sir!! 👍🤣😂

[@rudywoodcraft9553]

Brilliant! The cable ties are in the finest of traditional boat-building, truly beautiful. And casting off by cutting the cable tie--elegant.

[@gavinb9627]

As a pleasure craft, it hits the mark. Both of you had huge smiles, telling us it was pure pleasure! Well done guys.

Thanks Gavin!

[@scottbeattie6645]

So looking forward to all the upcoming projects. Great to see and Adrian working so well on together on a fun project. Who would have thought an engine rebuild on Renko would lead to this. Priceless

[@DangarMarine]

You never know where live will lead you!

[@rootsblowersanddetroits7419]

It created one great freindship

[@kevindavison6019]

I don't know why but this was a fun video to watch. Two very talented guys making a boat out of scraps and trash like every little boys dream. Keep it up.

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

We do stuff like this, but there is usually a lot LOT more beer involved! Awesome job guys.

[@DangarMarine]

Right on!

[@ApprenticeGM]

I don't know, I'm not convinced those expanding foam beer cans used for stabilisation were the only ones consumed . . . :)

[@troylocke1954]

You guys are legends!! We saw Renko at anchor in Frying Pan bay, she looks awesome. We made our way over a few days later with a carton of Coopers and a bottle of rum but she was gone. We'll hopefully get down your way when the water clears up to make the delivery.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Troy, next time!

[@StonyRC]

Adrian, Stu ... you guys are completely insane! HOWEVER, this is one of the most entertaining and informative pieces of broadcasting I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

[@tonysargent1699]

"Flat bottomed boats, you make this rocking world go round"! cheers Stu.

[@DangarMarine]

LOL

[@btankful]

I particularly like the non-skid on the bow. Oh, and you held the life jacket up twice for the rescue boat. Clever.

[@DangarMarine]

The double-show is an okay but a goodie. ;)

[@stuarttaylor723]

Well done fellas , I remember as a kid making a boat out of a 44 gallon drum , by cutting it in half length ways - worked well

[@DangarMarine]

Glad to hear you got out there and had adventures!

[@iantyler4045]

I was waiting for that gearbox to strip at any moment. I'd love to see the onlookers expressions.

LOL. Thanks Jason!

[@The1nsane1]

With that bow you have the beginnings of an air boat. Drop the Mercury and find a cheap aero engine. I'm sure Adrian could get his hands on one. Just imagine the carnage... 😎

[@DangarMarine]

That would be pretty cool. :)

[@AusMarineRobotics]

Need to lash a couple of fenders port and starboard for stability. There's heaps floating around Danger at the moment.

[@licencedtochill9336]

pure gold, just proves you can do anything if you have enough beer

[@x_ph1l]

Now, THIS is the content I subscribed for!

[@DangarMarine]

Well, it is an educational channel after all. ;)

[@fonhollohan2908]

looks as though you need some more ballast in that vessel and some home made pontoons made out of plastic pipe than she won't be so tippy. Seeing the rescue boat not even bother to investigate to make sure it was a proper vessel was just priceless. That's when Stu's and Adrian's smiles just got larger and larger which means its a win win in my book.

[@SouthCanadian]

Should have woke Damian up so he could whip up some stabilizer wings for the old girl. lol

[@dangardave6442]

Why aren't commercial boats built with cable ties & sika-flex I wonder? Would save heaps! "I'm not sure we're getting the best out of the Mercury" haha lol the hits just kept on coming . . .

[@Nightlifeimages]

I'm so happy and sad at the same time this was all filmed at my local ramp. Walking the dog the other week I noticed a moored boat but didn't think much of it until a few minutes later when the thought RENKO popped into my mind. Had to call the wife to let her know about my celebrity find. Good to see the boat I watched go from a rusty hull to what it is today so close to home.

First boat I ever bought was on eBay in 2018. 1980s boat with a 1969 mercury 7.5hp motor. Had 60psi of compression and didn't pee for the first month I owned it. Total purchase: $225.00 😂 Most fun I've ever had at 14mph

[@DangarMarine]

Exactly! Dollars doesn’t equal fun. :)

[@DangarMarine]

Would be very cool to see the bottom. :)

[@gillesgomez3091]

Are you serious guys? This is one of the most hilarious videos ever. Could I give 10 thumbs up that I would. That was a great moment... but I'm still not sure I would board for a ride in your new... "boat". Really, I don't know. Maybe I will stick to my inflatable canoe for now, until you add some more beer cans around for better stability! Nice move guys.

[@DangarMarine]

Definitely needs more beer cans. ;)

[@embreeja]

I recall that on your land trip home that the truck was full of Detroits ---- which means that that Damien fellow must have kept your boat! Probably insisted that the sand container was originally his or some such rubbish.... Well, now that Brupeg is almost finished, I expect to see it tied to the stern or lashed to the deck above his forecastle. Nice work! PS: I don't know if you realize this, but you can drill a hole in the back towards the bottom and put in a small rubber 'flapper'. Then, when you get up to speed the suction created sucks the water out and it becomes an automatic bailer.

[@DangarMarine]

The truck had the Detroits and this boat, we only filmed the final section this Easter weekend. Yes, venturi bailers they are called.

There's gotta be a plastic tub around you somewhere, you can use the drain hole to stick a cheapo electric motor through. I think you can get it to be even cheaper.

When's the sea trials? One life jacket, my money's on Adrian.

[@DangarMarine]

Nah, I would just point and say, "Hey look, a Detroit!" and grab the jacket while he was distracted.

[@Andi_Doci]

I got an idea! I did actually did think about building a boat out of these, or how you could build a boat out of these. I would simply take the cap and thread a Schrader valve nipple onto that, then thread it in with plumbing grease. Then you should pressure the container at low PSI, weld a few together with a torch and a straps from cutting one container into strips, then install a transom with an engine.

My first thought on seeing this was bathtub boat race. Don't know if weird boat races are popular in Australia but they should be. Get a dangerously bigger motor and you might even attract sponsorship from Red Bull.

We have had a competition off the island here where you had to make a boat out of something that what never meant to be a boat. I do like the idea of Red Bull sponsorship. :)

[@RPAS1234]

$200 B.O.A.T. i.e. Bust Out Another (cold) Tinnie For our overseas viewers that may have missed the (terrible) pun, a "tinny" is Australian colloquialism for a cold can of beer OR also may refer to a small aluminium boat with an outboard motor. Either way it leans on the notion of a budget-friendly approach to things. Tinnies are a cheap way of consuming alcohol or being able to go fishing and a favourite of blue-collar punters everywhere.

[@robertordewald8678]

Very nice project. How about adding a 2nd bin to the boat? More volume, space and hopefully stability. Source some 12 inch PVC pipe and add that to the sides in place of the beer cans. Now add a proper seat with forward controls and name it. I would suggest calling it the 'No Sense Atoll" Looked like fun! Thanks Bob from Virginia USA
