thanks mate

[@HarrydeLackadais]

Hoi kerel, Een gat in boten is als een vent zonder kloten. Maar door een vent zoals jij ligt het schip er binnenkort goed bij.

[@hardyvonwinterstein5445]

Een lek boven de waterlijn is fijn, maar een lijn langs het water van de Lek voor je gordijn slaat alles. Dus tot later.

[@BoatProjectY]

ah een rijmpje op zondagochtend , great start.

[@harrisonyoung3198]

When will you start work on the engine and engine room? Love the videos. Keep them coming!

[@BoatProjectY]

I have no idea, my primal concern is getting it out of the water.

[@HugoLopez-df5zg]

Locking amazing . If you need a good rust remover ( as good as Evaporust) mix 1L water with 100g of citric acid then add 30g o NAOH Leto it react then apply.

[@BoatProjectY]

no complaints about the rustconverter I'm using.

[@LostYogi]

How many boats could you get for the same amount you spend on needleguns🙈 Honestly I don't get why they break doing the work they were built for, but then again there are many things in this world I do not understand😅Looking forward to see it painted 🙂

[@rolidcz7954]

hi, have you considered renting a laser rust remover?

[@BoatProjectY]

looks to me that the laser rust remover works well on promotional videos but I have not met anyone who is using it with succes.

[@guydepoorter]

Hoi schipper, ik zou denken dat het schip uit Corten/ Siemens staal gemaakt is, zoals de Askoy II van Jacques Brel, nu gerestaureerd in Zeebrugge, Check it, next: de boot is klaar, wat is uw planning ? Cheers.

[@BoatProjectY]

zou me verbazen guy, ik eens van de eigenschappen vn cortenstaal Noet dat het niet doorroest? hier alleszins wel....

[@brian.7966]

first :)

[@harrisonyoung3198]

Second!

[@lp9280]

I wanted to say "lets keep cool heads - it was high speed crash, who know if the passengers died from crash or from fire, so although not ideal in this situation it would not have made a difference"... That was until the point where bystanders were trying to help passengers pounding on the windows from inside. That quite conclusively proves - battery fire killed them! We really need new regulations for battery safety, I don't give a fck it will "slow down adoption and innovation", in fact we need to stop adaption until innovation catches-up with safety. This really should not go on until we have stringent standards and batteries are impossible to set on fire.

[@Mardy72]

Huh?

[@anthonymaddison9588]

Any neighbour complaints?

[@BoatProjectY]

NOBODY, they love me there ;) everybody is truly happy that a beautiful boat as this one is not going to waste. they all saw the decline over the years

[@anthonymaddison9588]
