“My First 37 Boats”

[@randyclyde4939]

That tug should last another 60 years! What a great find and wonderful addition to your fleet! So glad to see another chapter in your boating life. Stay well and stay safe!

[@angelcathairs]

the tug boat is so incredible! the engine the mechanics the build quality and engineering. it’s so amazing. I would love to own a boat like that

[@cd87104]

That tug is gorgeous.

[@MA-iv7ol]

Awesome, I was wondering when a new video would arrive and you didn't disappoint! Love this channel.

[@cd87104]

your editing, and the emotions you express about your subject is captivating. always look foward to your next video. cheers

[@kjartankarljohannesson1540]

Me too

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

REALLY LIKE THE LITTLE TUG. YES, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF PATIENCE WITH THE CABIN BUILD. LOOKING GOOD.

[@clide427]

Hope to see more frequent videos. I love what you're doing and only wish I had the time to do the same.... it's awesome. Keep it up.

[@johnell46]

I’ve enjoyed your posts since your first boat. I like your new tug boat the best of your fleet. The mechanics are awesome. I look forward to watching you fix it up. I enjoy your calm voice in your descriptions and wish you fair winds and high tides.

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day Crew,,, Mega cool episode, Just love the new boat ,lots of potential. Your channel has so much scope for content with the fleet growing with almost every vid . Respect...!

[@nicobogaard2315]

You are becoming a shipwright with a very broad skillset, steelwork/welding, woodwork and shipcarpentry. Love to watch your videos!

[@PhG1961]

Very enjoyable and entertaining video. Congratz with the new boat!

[@normanboyes4983]

Great update and superb story telling. I think you need to employ a few more skippers to enable you to move your fleet around.😉👍

[@timmywilson]

Great to see you posting videos again. Love the projects you're taking on.

[@michaelmanbeck9159]

Hi...Outstanding video today as always...your boat journey with all of projects are great to watch..best of luck for your furture plans....

[@Equitine]

I absolutely love your channel, between you and Expedition evans you are fueling my desire to buy and live/repair a boat. also this boat is literally the definition of "dont make them like they used to"

[@taurota1554]

awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@phukmylife]

I love your projects, tedious or not it’s all interesting I plan to rebuild my own boat in like six months.

[@JohnRichardson-jg6yx]

Wonderful workmanship !! Enjoyed the longer video of your progress...

[@josefernandez6226]

I wonder if there is a 12 step program to deal with boat addiction?

[@MsCatdograt]

He is missing the platform boat too.

[@donaldstenico5266]

I'm thinking with this man it may require a lot more than 12 steps. Just think if he found a cheap submarine at the auction.

[@ghhammer3498]

Love your video's Mr Ber Lin my friend. Your fleet of many boats is indeed Impressive. Ever you sail to the East Coast of America let me know.

[@petewitt2867]

Man! You’ve gottta get yourself a cordless impact driver! You’ll never go back to driving a screw with a drill.

[@pangtjonresor]

Hello there. Thanks for a nice section in your ongoing work, I love your new boat with old technology that really works, when I had my steel boat it was built in 1946 for the Navy, it had similar controls for steering throttle and rudder and everything was massively built to last forever, it's so nice to see your projects take shape and know that it will last long into the future 😄 looking forward to Next video. Take care. 👍

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

Apologies if this has already been answered, but what became of the floating dock?

[@aaronm1855]

So glad to see progress on first boat!!

[@paulstalker4186]

Another great video, thank you. When you're working on something you love, it's important to work on it when you want to work on it. Whatever you do, you manage to influence others into either getting a boat or getting on with the one that they have, speaking for myself there! The new guy is doing well and will also save time constantly setting up the camera. Looking forward to the next one.

[@jimlane6717]

Incredible content by far one of the best boating channels out there..

[@jondavidmcnabb]

OMG that new tug you purchased (ie stole) is freaking fantastic!!! I bet it has a very deep history. You could get a side gig helping tow people with broke down boats!!!!

[@seanhanlon5867]

your amassing a proper little fleet there 👏👏👍..i cant wait to see what you do with this one

[@ahzzz-realm]

Would watch the restoration/rebuild of that tug. Cool boat, nice wood work too.

[@morychok11]

A good tug. Congratulations. Now you're a big shipowner. 👍

[@kanartech]

Just waiting for your video, thanks for the huge update

[@lilo7019]

Thank you very much for sharing

[@ncphenom2309]

There is no need to put spacers on the ends of the boards. Wood does not expand lengthwise. It will only expand across the grain.

[@TheMikesylv]

I saw this guy spray his aluminum boat on the inside with this product used in the bed of American pickup trucks . It’s a rubberized bed liner about 3 to 4 mm thick it did a amazing job eliminating vibrations and noise also it insulated the boat and helped with condensation, there are quite a few brands. Also it is chemical and oil proof

[@billyhaddock5540]

Great Job getting the inside of ur first boat walls looking good. congrats on ur newest 1966 German Tug Boat..

[@Sluf7]

Brilliant lil Tug boat there. Amazing people don,t know what's out there what a find. All those lil features like viewing windows etc. Nice job on the forward cabin. Keep at it now.;0)

[@RobotRangerGuy]

Love the tug boat. I could live on it. Put a diesel heater in etc :)

[@3scottsbaker]

Good for you! It’s gonna be awesome when you’re done.

[@sherylryan7038]

You are a very talented person and you always understate how high a standard of work you do with your builds love it from fan in Australia 🇦🇺

[@mysticwolf2842]

The wooden deck on your tug boat could use some TLC! A good sanding and refinish with a good quality varnish and it would look great. That tug boat was a great find and I bet the price was very good as well. Enjoy.

[@AHarker100]

Great little tug boat.

[@Alonzo36]

My first boat has become my first fleet :)

[@mikeatpudhamjunction2323]

Nice size for solo handling with some practice. Another project to keep you going. Your woodworking tips as always very useful. Pleasant surprise to see Bata Beag on your stream. Sadly we wont be able to complete the project and someone else will have to finish her. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

[@mehdimusa6327]

I'm happy for you brother 🙏 but I'm a bit jealous I hope to have one boat one day and you have 3 😂

[@alttabby3633]

Congrats on the new boat!

[@MrTatepastor]

I so jelly about the new tug boat. I would rebuild that engine. 915 liters the hemi is only 5.7 liters. JUst give you some perspective. Happy for you brother. Take me on a journey with you.

[@Rebar77_real]

You'll be able to tow your fleet anywhere in the world now. Cool find with the tug boat.

[@DeniusZZR]

Now u can honestly call yourself an Admiral!

[@ricktoole9991]

I would move to your new boat , or room. Could be refurbished over time while living on it

[@hoosierpete]

We may have to do a intervention on him if he keeps buying boats.🤣My man bought a single boat and hasn't stopped since. But that tugboat is sick, that's an amazing find and buy, can't wait to see what he does with it.

[@BonMathieu-ws8bm]

Miss you boy! Nice to know you okay 😊😊😊😊

[@janliljeberg3769]

Thanks for sharing your sea life, its very stimulating to listen your well structured and soothing voice.

[@skaraborgcraft]

I missed out on a Swedish Lifeboat. Air cooled V12 Duetz engine. Great wee tug.

[@charleshutchings9355]

Another excellent video. I admire your ability to make things work in your favor. Great score on the Tug Boat as well. Happy sailing!

[@alexp9781]

5k for that Tug is the bargain of a lifetime. Congrats!

[@dwtrksvc]

Going from my first boat to my first navy. Lol. Love the channel!

[@advohelp]

Hi from Russia. Glad that You got a new project with new boat. It seems that it has not so much space inside, but much bigger open space outside. Let's say, You got an armored slow-moving open terrace. If compare with cars, Your first boat was like VW transporter bus. The last one is like Mercedes Unimog, isn't it?

[@mitfreundlichengrussen1234]

immer wieder überraschend - merci vielmals!

[@randywatts8221]

Keep up the good work Admiral.

[@joes8923]

What……A new boat. I like it. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@NeoAndersonReloaded]

Love your narration

[@inekelassooij840]

Geweldig om te zien 😲p/s goed gefilmd 👌👍👋🏼

[@valefur72]

Very nice and robust boat!

[@kevinmartin3859]

Loved the video your first boat walls look great but your tugboat is something else with bit of planning it would make a lovely liveaboard

[@nickviner1225]

I love your new boat.

[@stangiles2001]

Well intended punches is not very PC. I love it

[@wirrest]

"Wann wirds mal wieder richtig Sommer"....You don't hear that song often as background music.

[@audunspachmo9673]

That tugboat is a real beauty :)

[@julienh7450]

Let's say all those boats you refitted were training to rebuild the big boat, which serves as a base/storage/workbench for rebuilding the 1st boat, which is your masterpiece.

[@petermastenbroek7719]

That looks like a very good buy, I enjoyed the tour of the inside and I like her hull-shape too. There is however one little thing you'll have to change in your story about the engine starting at 20:12 you say that it's advised to turn the camshaft, but with the steel bar in the flywheel you are turning the CRANKSHAFT, of course when the crankshaft is turning the camshaft is turning too, but you didn't turn the camshaft with the steel bar. I wish you much pleasure with your new addition to the fleet. All the very best, and success, Peter.

[@1961nuffield]

Very nice tug boat!

[@rohanderstevens4759]

My bro just here have nothing to do and here you come thank you bro 🙏 keep up the good work 👏

[@marktanska6331]

I have been watching you for couple years. Seeing your skills grow, I soon need to subscribe.

[@katieverheggen146]

Well. Since i'm now on my second historical tugboat i can tell you one thing. Kiss your time goodbye, my friend. You're going to be spending most of it on your very own bucket of rust and what's worse... you'll love it

[@gerbentvandeveen]

I sailed myself with two boats that had a "Kromhout" engine. The ferry in Spakenburg. With a "Kromhout" 1 cylinder. And "de Dinkel" from Amsterdam. With a 2 cylinder "Kromhout". The "Dink". Now in the Maritime Museum in Amsterdam. And the 2 cylinder "Kromhout" can be seen inside. I was allowed to sail with the "Dinkel ". In 1995, with the world Jamboree Zeewolde. Peter, was already unable to handle the tug alone. Gerben T, Spakenburg, The Netherlands.

[@ks4io]

love the new boat and the work you do on the other ones is awesome.

[@johnfleury5430]

Love the new boat awesome

[@johnsommer539]

Congratulations for obtaining the great tug. ⚓

[@Raxsal]

Absolut großartig! 👍

[@supremeautomotive6749]

2 boats with floating house bunker in the middle love it ❤

[@martinjames9250]

Love the new boat. 👍 What a beast!

[@jbcollins5781]

i love your first boat.

[@stangiles2001]

You are now a tug boat captain. Yeeeeeee3ooooooooooow Amen

[@capt_crunchy_nut]

At 10mins in it looks like you're using a brad point drill bit to try drill metal. You will have a lot moire luck with drill bits designed for penetrating steel.

[@Max_parallax]

mans collects boats like everyone i know collects airplanes and cars lol. and im all for it. stoked to see where this all goes!

[@gypsymanme]

Good choice to paint the wood. I agree that the natural wood look isn't a favourite.

[@clydecessna737]

Congratulations.

[@AntreasKarvelis]

Don't be late for the next video.....❤❤❤❤

[@Mardy72]

Don't boss people around

[@bindatek8801]

Good informative video - well done!! John

[@Mark65-ut4dl]

Wunderbar

[@chewitt6426]

love the item about the Anker 767 - you should ask them to sponsor you ?

[@terencegardner644]

Impressed with the new edition to your ever growing fleet 🦊

[@pagmonreal]

We thought you had died! Just discovered your channel and it is the best thing I have ever found, great work! I wonder how a grey hull would look on the yacht?

[@jasonturner1045]

gotta love that old time German engineering. that tug is a damned cool piece of machinery..

[@joja511]

Mir blutet das Herz, wenn ich sehe, was da für ein Müll auf der Spree schwimmt.

[@dingdong00002]

good work. lovely little tug

[@MrTallpoppy58]

Hope you are sealing the end grains of the timber planks ? Using the timber you are, requires a lot of sealing and oiling etc to fight rot.

[@marvindebot3264]

Love the tug!

[@Birkv01]

Another tip if your dealing with difficult shapes and have to come up with a template MDF and hot glue works pretty good in my experience. Its always nice to see boat work happen without compromise but as you sad sometimes you just have to compromise otherwise you could build your boat forever. Mach weiter so und viel erfolg mit deinem neuen kleinen schlepper hoffe, dass nicht zu viele problem auftauchen.
