Be cool if they kept one of the old lorries and attempted an in-house hydrogen engine conversion - would've tied in nicely with the sustainability bits Daniel's been speaking about recently!

It’s amazing how much happiness Asheville brings into peoples life. It must be so much hard work plus running your company but u genuinely give people over half an hour where we don’t think and worry about things in life keep up the good work 👍🏆🥇🏅

[@davidmacdonald4296]

Archimedes principle - the buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Unless you are changing the physical shape of the boat in a way that makes it displace more water, it won't change the buoyancy. Expanding foam inside the fins doesn't help! Expanding foam outside - which you might have seen - helps because it displaces loads of water while adding almost no weight. Looks absolutely wicked though 👌

[@morrisonmeister]

I wondering if the foam had to be in physical contact with the water to work as buoyancy.

[@CL-vz6ch]

that hull will displace a fair bit I reckon

[@WARYZ]

You are completely right. They use foam to fill spaces and give them more structural integrity without adding much weight. But they use it in combination with fiberglass hulls. Filling a metal container that does not need the extra strength is just adding weight and not changing buoyancy at all.

[@calvinsmith3952]

Could you now be called a SKIPPER of that vessel haha, I’ll get my coat.

[@jonathanbeale3978]

Upgrades. 1. V hull for stability or 2. Skip o ran, yes two skip hulls. 3. Power , 2 jet ski motors, one in each skip. Love the ideal

[@JCJC650]

Love it looks really good, easy getting into the water with the lorry :) Put some balast in the middle fin to lower your centre of mass, then two empty watertight boxes or cyliners running down either side (or outriggers) with them half in / half out the waterline. when you tip one way you'll become more bouyant on that side and the weight will pull you upright, 1m3 of displaced water is a tonne. Maybe a bilge pump for a longer journey :) Boats are shaped so as they get deeper they displace exponentially more water. All the weight is at the bottom in lead weights.

[@dylanshenton6001]

Definitely agree on the ballast and a bilge pump. Top build all together! Edit: All electrics and pumps etc can easy go under the benches, will still look like a skip @39:46 yesss

[@TheByard]

While working in Cairo on an Aid Project the rugby held an oil drum raft race on the River Nile, the construction company Lilly made a raft that rode deep in the water, many laughed at it thinking it would be hard to paddle, but a civil engineer with marine knowledge had designed the drums with open tops. The crew sat inside making the raft settle low in the water, they were also told the stay close inshore this caught the best of the strong Nile current and the craft wizzed along with the crew doing more steering than actual paddling. So what the skip needs is higher sides and more crew.

[@robertherisz4939]

This is the definition of someone doing something just because they can. Love it!

[@alexchipangura800]

Nothing short of inspiring. It's super-inspiring Daniel. Well done! Indeed all things are possible when we unleash our imagination into reality. This could be the beginning of something you never saw coming. Took the words out of my mouth Robert - Skip on rail track. That should be fun to watch. I second that!

[@simoncarney9944]

Absolutely BRILLIANT! I loved this, so much fun. I’ve no idea how to stabilise it except for outriggers that you can drop down and lock into place. Keep it up Daniel and I’m already looking forward to seeing more! 😃😍

[@alister5335]

[@mainagatheru]

this is perhaps only second to the flooded basement video...very entertaining, with some creative engineering...kudos Ashville team !!

[@tessa7468]

I absolutely love the boat, you could improve it by removing the middle fin since it creates drag and only makes the motor run less efficient

[@georgedevlin8683]

Tasty bit of metal work Noel. Well done.

[@nbganning1]

The bottom of the boat needs stabilizer, the triangle shape column part you put underneath the flat bottom is downwards, it should actually be upwards which make the ship stable, think about the shape of a torpedo. Also you need to find the weight center of the boat, when it is lifted, it will help you determine how much weight you need in the front side to balance off the weight of your body.

[@toneo_]

Fluid dynamics, damn that some nice welds! Skips = dumpsters in America. This is my fist time coming across this channel and I like it. Good job!

[@kznhomeautomation566]

Top gear Ashville - You could add some old tyres around to prevent hitting other boats and docking issues …..also do add a fishing rod holder for Terry 🫡

[@edwilkinson497]

Add buoyancy aft, by increasing your “wetted area” behind the motor. Think of it as any part of the skip that’s vertical when it touches the water adds no buoyancy, and any horizontal adds maximum buoyancy.

[@davesmewing2534]

I agree, and outriggers would be a good improvement as well.

[@spotfreefinish]

Time to drop the day time job and give KZbin 100% what a down to earth chap, may the Lord continue blessing you abundantly!

29:30 don’t think the foam will give more buoyancy, less if anything as the fins were already sealed and filled with air.

[@whispjohn]

Daniel, in the 1980s and early 90s we had powerboat Grnd Prix and I remember a motorised skip being driven around the docks, it was a riot and quite unstable. We could actually have fun BACK then and we did, usually the people who rode in the skip were a bit merry on the "tot" of rum they were given for courage on boarding the craft.

[@TonyBarclayMBE]

Crazy, but fun - well done all involved! I felt for the lorry driver - like, whatever you do, SON'T drop the boss into the water!!

We used something like this in WW2 D day . But the whole front opened up so the Soldiers could run straight out and take cover when landing on the beach . So this idea could work

Amazing Daniel! really enjoyed that hope there is a part 2 with you and Penfold taking her fishing. Also they have similar looking boats in Australia called 'Tinnie' might be able to get some inspiration from their design for your alterations.

Tinnys are made of aluminium. Hence the name.

[@CL-vz6ch]

​@@HJZ75driver if that was true, they'd be made of tin.

Thank you so much for bringing that good memory out for me. Hope you and the team continue to grow and get yourself and your company where you want to be.

[@jimmarlow5851]

Looks pretty cool. Think you need to raise the front as waves will crash over it in the channel. For stability maybe get some oil drums filled with foam and fix them to each side which will help buoyancy too. A little tarp roof would be cool too.

[@phelimoneill2813]

You need a "ballast keel" for stability. Hack the foam out of your middle rib on the underside and fill it with the heaviest material you can find. Real boats use lead.

Love it, it's like a ashville scrapheap challenge. Idea for flotation, if you remember when topgear made car boats, Clarkson had a similar problem with tipping, You wanna use a simular design, If you were to have two drums or something at the back, it would keep you stable and keep the nose down, Fun video to watch, happy sailing

Looks great, similar to how you cut out for the engine, you do a hole similar with high sides(It can double as a picnic table ) in the middle of the skip then you can lower a hinged Keel down for stability.

[@mraidymaddful]

It's about time we had a UK channel building great projects like this, it would certainly help the subscriber levels. Dan, if I might make one or two suggestions being a 'Scrap Designer' myself. 1. It might be an idea to paint both the insides and outsides in bitumen or something similar to assure total waterproofing. 2. Weld on some side rails at around water level and bolt on some pontoons. This should give level buoyancy for the 'Skoat'. 3. As well as the side pontoons, you could build a lowering keel in the middle of the 'Skoat', this would stop it from rocking side to side. You would of course need to raise the housing for it above water level, to stop it sinking, lol!! Just a couple of ideas, hope it helps......
