Iain Neish's Puchie Special Garvey/Dory Built in Bali

[@terrykleier5068]

I wish Jeff’s boat plans were still available

[@MrKnacker74]

Great Job Iain and crew! It's good to see this size of garvey dory on video too.

[@noyb72]

Couldn't think of a better boat for that work. Almost like Jeff knew what he was doing.

[@pakde8002]

Thanks for the video. I live in Bali and will try to check this out first hand after the pandemic gets settled. Seaweed farming was really big in Bali being one of the initiatives during the New Order period but it's been let die to a large degree. However, the economic projection for seaweed is very promising. In the case of Bali it depends a lot on availability for processing facilities. Basically they can only sell raw dried product currently as with most other natural resources because of lack of investment in processing infrastructure. But the new seaweed systems are not focused only on seaweed but shellfish and other marine life with market potential. Unfortunately, again it's all limited by lack of facilities for adding value to the natural products.

We have built a seaweed process facility in Buleleng and it is shown in the video. I have been involved with seaweed farming in Bali since 1986. We buy wet seaweed for direct processing.

can't believe that 40hp pushes that boat so well considering how robust they built it , around here they would swear a boat that size needs 2 150's ....

[@tjkid07]

Yes, lots of people are astounded at how little power my boats take: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnm2ZauZaMhpmdU

It seems that all around the world happiness is a 40 hp Yamaha tiller steer...It seems to be the standard workhorse for all kinds of boats...

[@CulturaMarinara]

Great project! Bravo!

[@davescommonplacebook9374]

This is great!

[@tolutau5455]

Awesome job, How much did it cost for material the labour....

[@BlackWarriorLures]

40 h.p. is quite economical for a boat of that size.

[@joelkoonce8559]

Most impressive 🙂

[@tonyrathbone9432]

Hi I live in the uk can you put a jet ski engine to go to off shore thank you

[@tyrsafray4640]

That scoots along well with a 40

[@DavidD6969]

Very Nice 👍

[@charleswaters455]

I would use my boat mainly in the Indian River Lagoon in Florida, but would like to take it offshore (close) for diving for lobster and spear fishing. I'm trying to understand how the optional front hatch would work....could it be confirmed to drop under water to allow easy egress and ingress to the boat by divers w/ tanks?

[@iiijcr]

Do they use marine plywood or regular plywood?

[@eljuano28]

Yes.

[@phyconautwaterworld198]

Used good quality regular plywood epoxy impregnated during building.

[@pakde8002]

I imagine regular plywood in Bali. Labor is very cheap so if the boat fails you can build another one in a week or two cheaply.

[@oliveiragomes8098]

RIP Jef Spira.

[@charleswaters455]

Is the seaweed here used to produce Nori? I'm curious about the product. I think I'm going to build one of Spira's Garvey's also (the 19') but I'm really curious about your seaweed product. Thank you from sunny Florida.

[@dallinlambert3484]

is the curvature of the whole boat that important in a garvey/dory or could you make a completely flat one with just a curve in the very front of the bow, sorry im new to boat building

[@tjkid07]

You can build it any way you wish to. I designb it around what I feel is best, but if you want to change things, go for it.

[@dallinlambert3484]

@@tjkid07 thanks for the reply ye I started building a flat bottom boat last year out of aluminum and then found your videos, they have been a huge help hopefully mine planes okay with a flat bottom for 16ft and 5 ft curve on the bow cause that's what it is haha
