True Purpose Of My Barge Boat Revealed

[@MyFirstBoat]

there seems to be misunderstanding about the PAID LIVE STREAM I mention at the end 😅. To clearify: it would be IN ADDITION to the free videos on youtube, NOT AS REPLACEMENT. My videos will remain free and accessible to everyone. But I'm CONSIDERING to maybe start an additional pillar of content in form of a weekly live stream for those who are interested. The reason for this is very simple: it takes me too much time to produce a single "normal" video as I'm doing everything on my own. For this "new format" I've started to work with a camera person (not my wife btw) who needs to be paid. Long term it would be great to have an editor and maybe a music producer, as this it taking most of my time. In order to finance this I need to come up with new revenue streams. It is a very natural transition which most KZbin Channels need to go through. I hope you can accept this as a natural development of my existence on youtube. Thanks and see you soon 🥲

[@rohanderstevens4759]

That's 👍 ok with this bro I enjoy your video keep up the good work 👏

[@garymathews5918]

At minute 16:00; check the starboard outboard. The water stream indicating the water pump is working is not as strong as the stream on the port engine (see video). Your impeller may be slightly damaged or there is some blockage of the tube. On my engines, I would get bugs inside the tube if the boat was unused for any time.

[@paulduplantis1491]

in Louisiana the barges and houseboats have similar spuds on the sides of the boat that go down into the mud, much easier than an anchor pole in the middle of the boat.

[@joelbrown4110]

An inexpensive 12v winch attached to the ceiling beams to haul up the anchor pole would be very handy.

[@theghost6412]

need much stronger overhead beams for that sadly

[@giles-df9yu]

Not really you are just pulling post out of mud . 300 pounds or less at most

[@alexmikhael5061]

@@theghost6412 just reinforce the ones above the points you NEED TO PULL ... the whole roof needn't be reinforced TILL THE LIVING QUARTERS GO UP THERE... ;)

[@theghost6412]

@@alexmikhael5061 they would need serious reinforcement. And I am guessing the living quarters will go underneath in the hull, not the top

[@Sullrosh]

even a manual winch would work. even just a anchor point for the mechanical pulley you used.

[@soulxtr]

Make a hole in the roof - a lamp for a pole, and continue to use the pole what you want long.

[@GoofieNewfie69]

Thats a lot of big speakers for a boat. There was a guy who had a big setup on his houseboat in Canada. Lot of noise for people trying to enjoy a peaceful day at anchor. The guy and the other musicians didn't care. About three months after he started, he had to get a recovery company to get his boat off the bottom. He learned nothing, the following year his boat burned and sunk.

[@Sequesterer]

Yeah. Party boats are the scorgue of the sea. Like jet skis.

[@SpicyBloodBean]

zip tie a small piece of foam to your drones so it will float if it drops in the water

[@mrclassic2284]

You might want to invest in a galvanic tester to make sure there is not stray current leaking off the hull. Some of the cheaper inverters do not properly isolate shore power ground from dc ground or other hull bonded grounds.

love a my first boat upload.... love watching the journey unfold, the ever changing and upgrades to the fleet. your welding has come on amazing. love the problem solving and taking everything head on and mistakes are part of the learning curve. vevor do amazing products now they just need to send you some tools but good company to work alongside and you will certainly test the products😂 keep it up

[@Max_parallax]

cant speak for all but i for one do like this style of video much more. its fun to see you do what you do without having to manoeuvre the camera around aswell.

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

That's going to turn out to be a beautiful houseboat your building on that barge. I've been following you from the beginning since you started on your first yacht. All your skills have improved 107 percent. Especially your welding skills now you're not having to subcontract out anything for welding.... Keep up all the grey videos looking forward to seeing more.

[@Anne6621]

pulling up anchor 8 hours , 30 minutes of pleasure boating priceless ! , what happened to that tug style boat you had ?? and how many boats in your navy now 20 or more ???

[@BreakingBarriers2DIY]

Delightful sense of humour about self. Love the ideas and definitely tickles my love for welding.

[@seawench555]

Love the format, makes it much more personal, great to actually see u and ur friends working. I did notice I couldn't see the tell tail working on the starboard motor, great work on the power hook up on the cabin cruiser. The barge will be really pumping come ur Birthday, congratulations on all the really good work uv done, all boats are looking fabulous. Thanks for sharing 🇦🇺🌈🤣🏳️‍🌈

[@chefmichaelt]

I love the new format. ❤Love seeing you work, and not fast forward all the time.❤❤❤

[@johnnygusumano268]

If you add a ton of holes to the pole it will come out better

[@TgWags69]

Looks like you really should mount several mooring cleats around the perimeter of the barge so you can tie up more easily and securely. Another swing out crane arm in the front with a winch wouldn't hurt either. A nice manual differential chain hoist would work very nice for your pole anchor. It doesn't unspool on you if you have to let go, allowing a single person to use it and it is light enough to remove and be stowed out of the way when not in use.

[@realone4341]

Find an aircraft junkyard. Find the vertical tail rudder ball screw assembly. Find one that is long enough from deck to ceiling. Add a couple of round steel tube telescoping extensions which have the through bolt concept. Lower the two sleeves, the ball screw will then be actuated to piece the river bottom. These aircraft parts won't rust and you might have to add a 110 vac motor to drive the ball screw. You might even consider using the ball screw to actuate the extensions as well.

[@brian.7966]

there you are, its been a while we thought you had given up.

[@aquious953]

I might suggest that if your worried about dragging, just size up your anchor (Rocna) and stern tie or use a stern anchor to stop swing. Much more efficient.

[@alexmikhael5061]

the advantage of the ANCHOR POLES (or SPUDS or wtuever) is there is no lines when others come up to RAFT UP TO THE BARGE.... :)

[@jfv65]

Can the person who is steering the big boat actually see what is right in front of it? I think a bow camera would be very useful.

[@adriansrealm]

Frohe geburtstag!

[@brianmontgomery6834]

Haha I love this new style of filming!, your commentary had me cracking up a few times. Good stuff

[@theivan9399]

The party boat looks great! Maybe check the water pump on your starboard engine on the party boat, the flow of cooling water seems quite weak

[@thedude8046]

Nice party boat man!👌🤙🤟👍

Use a snubber like sailboats use when they anchor.

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

I’m thinking it would be good to have cameras set up so the Captain can monitor everything from the Helm. It might sound crazy but it would assure maximum control over such a big Boat/Ship. Just Sayin !

[@advohelp]

Hi from Russia. It's a great pleasure that You revealed the purpose of Your project with this barge. Although, I do suggest You to change the exterior of the barge. What are my suggestions about concept and design? First of all, to have a full-year plastic or glass music hall and cafe, based on Your barge. Not only summer time. Also, if You will manage not plain, but 2-angled roof with big sun batteries and water tank making hot water directly from sun and from sun panels, it will become ecologically reliable. Also You can add some small electrical engines, getting power from the sun panels. And it's a good plan for ecological energy, isn't it?

[@johnhopkins6658]

Do they have rules in Germany regarding wearing of life vests or belts while on the water.

[@GoofieNewfie69]

Why do you need rules about lifejackets, except for kids? But then again, some people need warning not to eat batteries.

[@t1n4444]

Rules about lifejackets etc, etc are probably necessary for the local marine authorities and insurance purposes. Plus there may be local (land) authorities rules ref noise levels. He'll soon know 😂

[@GoofieNewfie69]

@@t1n4444 Don't know of any country where lifejackets a mandatory except for kids or specific duties. As for the noise, if the cops don't shut it down, boats do catch fire and sometimes they sink. Happens more often than you know.

@@GoofieNewfie69 Hmm ...then suggest you get out a bit more. Or failing that nothing to stop asking the marine authorities, or marine industry employers for their policies. You'll get there.

[@gregsecore9625]

don't know if you ever watched Bering Sea gold, they have a dredge that digs goals in the ocean and them things that they sent down just like you have it is called a spud,, check it out if you ever have time also it's a pretty good television series if you like that stuff, I would recommend straight above that spud you for a ring forgot the name of it but it has threads on one side and a circle put one of them right above that spud that way you can put a chain on it and put your Come along. On it and pull it up straight sometimes they really get stuck depending on the ground if you put it into Clay you're going to have a battle pulling it up. That's why I say you put a ring above it where your come along will click right into and it be very easy to pull straight up just trying to give you an idea body love your videos just wish you was making more of them but that's life

[@workhardroger1963]

I would personally. Turn it into a really big houseboat. It would be the perfect size. At least that is what I would do. It would be so easy to do. But it's your boat.

[@whitneylake2107]

With all the roof area on your barge you could cover it with solar panels and go completely electric !

[@justinfufun5483]

You were "Ferry gliding" on the anchor. The other way to deploy your anchor would be to tie up alongside the other boat. Then tie your anchor onto the bow of your little boat with a short rope. You reverse straight out until its tight and ferry glide left or right until you are where you want to be. Then cut the line to release the big anchor while still reversing so it's tight. It will plummet down in an ark still tight and immediately bite into the mud. Then you can crank on it a little from the big boat to increase the bite if you need to. Concrete weighs only 60% when it's under water so it's not a great weight for anchors and is heavier as you try to lift it out. But it would be fine for what you were doing. In reality a heavy length of chain from your anchor is best and you seem to have it already.

[@joeb2224]

Couldn't see a tell-tale on your starboard motor? Great videos BTW! Thanks.

[@raytalbot5890]

Why not use the small boat to get a line to (my first boat) then drop the anchor & then pull your self back in place ??? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@MrTallpoppy58]

You should use hot dipped galvanised bolts and fittings ... electro-zinc plated gear is not very good.

[@patmcbride9853]

I can see where a forward facing camera, or cameras, and a monitor at the helm will be needed when the walls go up.

.... need a REINFORCED ARCHWAY ABOVE the holes for the ''ANCHOR POLES'' (they call them SPUDS over here... well on the east coast USA I guess anyhow) so you can use a wench above... or mount PULLYS ON THE OVERHEAD and run the line to the WENCH SYSTEM mounted in central location (along the roof or whereever it needs to be...) did that translate?? reinforced ARCHES above the HOLES to mount pullys or pullling device on... or to hang a hanging seat or wutever.. ;)

Really, mate you have got more anchors on that barge than on an ocean going ship, I think you would be far better sorting out two good anchors front and back that can be remotely operated from your helm. As for that central peg, I’d get rid of that as it’s an accident looking for somewhere to happen, look at the trouble you and your mate had getting it up and then multiply that by an enclosed space with stuff in it, it’s a no brainer.
