Rocket Hydroplane Build | Full Build Photograph Slideshow | 2014 - 2020

[@ersanakyurekli]

It is not a project. It is a state of art, a master piece..! Congrats...

[@oitoitoi1]

I'm absolutely in awe of your skill and dedication. I'm so relieved you didn't sell it, I hope it can stay in your family for many generations to come.

[@fiks8888]

Just a wonderful presentation of the material - no chatter, not understandable to 50% of people who are interested! But everything is clear without blah blah blah!

[@eastoforion]

shes beautiful and well named, so glad you kept her :)

[@markuskholl4807]

Power music for the power plant. Best boat build I've seen yet!!! HANDS DOWN.

[@tomcoryell]

I can only imagine your smile of joy as you look over the bow at the horizon.

[@GorillaCookies]

Talk about a Guy with talent. Gorgeous doesn't do it justice my friend. Absolutely Beautiful

[@Markselot]

That rudder system is a true work of art!! Well done, sir! That is a beautiful boat! You will not be sorry you kept her... unless you didn't (seeing this 10 yrs later).

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

I still have the boat and I'm still very much enjoying using it as well :)

[@stevengaskill6515]

Beautiful work of art more than a boat. Talk about a passion project 2000 hours. Wow! At $100 a hour that's 200k and then materials and supplies. I wouldn't sell for less than $250k

[@kayhaverkort4220]

This gives all wrong ideas to the youth, not a lot of crafstmen make $100,- an hr. Let alone on 1000 hr jobs. You'll need to study hard and/or have a 30+ year flawless trackrecord and do the same work in a quarter of the time.

[@richardmccann4815]

I cannot believe how beautiful she is! The mahogany is stunning, and the fittings are amazing! A simply marvelous beauty!

[@jamescunningham541]

As a life long woodworker, this is stunning. I am speechless. You have a talent most do not. Nothing short of amazing. Hats off to you brother!

[@paulmurphy8182]

Excellent craftsmanship a great inspiration to would be boat builders..this is your legacy ...do not sell it but enjoy it for the rest of your life..well done my fellow Englishman

[@mrarkane]

What a work of art. A gentleman's speedster for a gentleman craftsman!

[@vanrijn1669]

I live in the desert of Arizona and there are many lakes/rivers/boats out here but not a boater myself. Spent most of my youth on the East Coast and grew to love these all wood boats. I watched the entire video in awe of your dedication to the craft and was rewarded by the final shots of her beautiful completion. Kudos to you for this build and posting for even us land lubbers to enjoy. Thanks.

[@ericbrockhus2518]

I love that the name has been milled in the valve cover too. Gives it some extra special feel. Job well done. I love to see wooden boats. They have more class and most of the time look better. But that said, I would never ever trade my grp cruiser for a wooden one due to the work you have on wooden hulls but it is a delight to look at. True eye candy. Keep up the good work.

[@richardmertins2990]

Just damn, having built a Doodle Bug from similar plans this is a whole different level, congratulations.

[@markpalmer5311]

Dan, she’s spectacular. What an iconic build. Put yourself in the top ranks!

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Thanks Mark!

[@ronandoyle6097]

What an exquisite boat. What an exquisite build. My heart broke at 5 minutes when I saw the crusty old engine. And it soared at 17 minutes when I saw it was rebuilt!

[@Gemlocean-z1e]

Excellent work on the 3 themes, and I'll add the following captivating and well-realized themes: videos, photos, music, scenarios, summary... In short, congratulations Dan Lee Boatbuilding, everything is wonderfully well done with passion and wisdom.

[@davidhoward8691]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching and your attention to detail is second to none. Bravo!

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MarkRobertson-ho9tp]

A remarkable achievement, thank you for the video.

[@smedoz]

How u only have 4K subscribers blow me away. Dude this boat is insane, real craftsmanship

[@joelbun7808]

It's because of that annoying music ...I got about 3 minutes in hoping someone wad going to start explaining....that's was enough

[@botman9391]

This is without a doubt, one the most impressive builds I've seen. You are a remarkable craftsman! Thank you for sharing this remarkable project!

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Very kind of you to say, thank you!

[@kiweekeith]

What an Absolutely Brilliant Build. You just Have to be Super Proud .... You captured the Old-School look Perfectly, right down to the Instrumentation and Steering-Wheel .... As an Engineer I can truly appreciate All the Work that has gone into the Build. All the 'Metal-Work' is so matched to the theme .... Best to You and Yours .... Cheers from NZ

[@yishaithegift9953]

Absolutely breathtakingly stunning! What a gift.

[@markuskholl4807]

[@brentonk461ismylostaccount]

Nice Boat. Takes alot of time, skill, patients too build a boat like that. Awesome 👍

[@SKEptic-mg2dd]

Don't you just love craftsmanship! Time well spent and look what you have to show for it. I remember the smells and the sound of an inboard idling.

[@kevinquevem]

A masterpiece by any standard! Thank you for sharing.

[@richardsprojects]

Your boat is stunning , cant say any more than that , well done

[@georgeyoung2336]

[@remkojerphanion4686]

A true labour of love, and she turned out to be a real beauty!

[@captainover-tighten6729]

Stunning! You should be very proud. Loved every minute. I was particularly happy when it got the final wet sand and buff. Every bit of the beauty is a testament to your patience and skill. Top shelf!

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bob_frazier]

You are an artist and she is pure art. Congratulations!

[@RobertPyland]

[@magnusdunning6113]

Such beauty and craftsmanship. Thank you Dan.

[@tinkeringinthailand8147]

[@mariocadioli]

Congratulations on the wonderful work. I am from Brazil.

[@zekelucente9702]

[@michaeljameson1046]

Lost for words WOW she is a beautiful boat well done love the brass cheers

[@icecoldchilipreppers]

As a fellow restorer of things, I am qualified to say that you sir are an absolute legend. That is some samurai level dedication. Shokunin - to master ones craft.

[@johnwesley6929]

A+ for skill, video and craftmanship. F for the music and no interaction.

[@dwtrksvc]

Your boar is drop dead gorgeous! A true show piece.

[@rogercamp2910]

Excellent work, especially the scarf joints.

[@kiplindsay8413]

That reaches a ridiculous level of awesomeness. Great job!!!!

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

A beautiful piece of functional art that can be enjoyed. Well done young man. The photos at the end reminds me of when my dad had a 1965 Hatteras cruiser I was the one crawling around in the tight underdeck areas. I earned the name "bilge boy". Great times with twin 440 CI Chryslers.

[@Bulletman426]

That is just incredible! I can’t imagine the cost and time involved in a beautiful build like that. Incredible!!

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Thanks! 1900 hours was the time and the cost... I haven't been brave enough to add it up yet!

[@mattlawton4715]

@@DanLeeBoatbuilding that boat is absolutely gorgeous 😍 very well put together not that is one massive achievement I dont blame you for not selling it.

[@klondikekez]

Hi Dan, Just been chatting with you at the Trad Boat festival in Henley… came home and found this……. Bloody amazing job buddy… sensational

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Thank you and thanks for stopping by the stand!

[@BobJohnson-xo7hr]

Gorgeous job. Really liked your fine line spacing of the deck planks. Metal work sets off the boat beautifully, provides protection and adds to the structural strength of the build.

[@stefanvanrensburg6096]

Dan Lee you have just became my favorite channel. This my friend, is the Mona Lisa of boats. Absolutely exquisite. I have not seen such a beautiful thing before

[@livingwithmabel2279]

Okay, so, when I first saw this boat on a different video I was impressed by its evocative beauty, now that I know you have fabricated it from scratch, I’m speechless. You should be very proud of yourself, and rightly so. Simply outstanding.

[@dar4171]

Absolutely stunning work & a beautiful little boat ❤

[@MrHenhei]

[@daviddickmeyer5231]

I love watching a dream being fulfilled! I’m still working on mine and hopefully it will be in the water next summer! Great motivational video! Thanks.
