I watched Seeker built from some of the earliest episodes pulling the huge sheets of steel up to weld. He inspired me to dream bigger and do more. Been an amazing journey and I actually felt involved by supporting the project just by always watching and liking Seeker videos. Even now on the water Seeker continues to grow and get even better. Thanks for following his adventure and documenting it and Yeti for sponsoring this video.

"Theres mot a lot of things in the world that are designed to bring the community together" Is that was Doug was doing when he faked an explosion and traumatic brain injury, faked a doctors visit, had a fake doctor and fake horrible diagnosis, peddled this all to his fans for several days over several videos? Got the donations he wanted, and then said it was all a joke? After he got backlash for it, he claimed that he didnt want any of these people as viewers anyways? Called people names and alienated his viewership? Told everyone that he isnt actually your friend and to stop watching? I dont really care, I just dont really find that to be something that "brings the community together" LOL. Its a strange thing tk say given the context!

Tenacity and sticktoitiveness are great qualities, admirable virtues, but they don't erase things like boat stability and seaworthiness. Building a 74' luxury yacht in your front yard mostly by yourself is way beyond any one person, but taking the extra week or two at the start to come up with real a real statement of requirements, scantlings and stability curves is not. It wouldn't have required any equipment that he didn't have, and would have saved him time, labor, and money, it just would have taken a bit of humility, real humility. Seeker as she stands is not safe as compared to other recreational sailboats. And on the ocean the duty to render aid is not just a norm or a societal nicity, it's the law. Doug isn't just putting himself at unnecessary risk. And I'm not some nay sayer who thought seeker would go straight to the bottom on launch. I had put my prediction down in writing more than a year before she launched including performance numbers that turned out to be reasonably accurate too (her top speed looks about 1.2 knots lower than I had projected, which was already well below the potential of a hard chined steel boat this size). She has major stability issues and adding bulwarks with insufficient freeing ports and hatches that aren't water tight to that mix is a recipe for disaster.

I've watched a few of his more recent videos, he seems to spend most of his time bodging his drive train back together after it's latest failure.

I've seen a few of his videos, that boat is a floating Rube Goldberg machine, mostly because he refuses to fork out on a proper marine transmission.

@@theVoyage. Don’t insult Rube Goldberg like that. He got an engineering degree from UC Berkeley in real life, AND his contraptions actually worked. Duggie gets nasty when smart people talk, and…. well…. I wouldn’t exactly say that Seeker works.

Congratulations of capturing the essence of this project, the man and the ‘boat that the internet built’. I watched Doug from the beginning and it has been an amazing project throughout and could not have been completed without vision, determination, a fair bit of help and obstinacy. The marine environment is a very harsh environment and it will test man, materials, equipment and systems. By his own confession Doug had no relevant marine experience and it’s pretty safe to say he does challenge orthodoxy and ‘rules and regulations’. Any new vessel, especially a one of a kind ‘home built’ can be fully expected to have ‘teething issues’ and of course some of them could have been avoided by fitting certified marine equipment but of course at a much higher installation cost. I fully expect Doug will overcome the essential equipment issues and in the process develop a wee bit more humility and a new respect for the marine environment - but I will not be holding my breath on the latter.

When he approached a foundation that matches vessels with research projects, he discovered that most of them required the Skipper to have a Master's licence. He studied for the exam, took it and passed it. Onboard. In the Gulf of Mexico. In a boat that started as coils of steel in his front yard. In Tulsa, Oklahoma.
