Epic! Epic! Happiness is an hour and 12 minutes of Danger Marine! I'll be following Brupeg from now on. The vegi oil experiment is fascinating. It's all about the preheat system bringing the oil to the right viscosity. In the 80's I helped restore a 300' WW2 Knaught ship. It had a 6 cylinder Norberg diesel (Of course it was 15 ft high and 30 ft long), it had crude oil tanks (Bunker fuel) along the kneel which feed a smaller tank with heat exchangers to preheat the fuel then into an oil-water separator before entering individual injection pumps to each cylinder head. It was all 1940's technology but that ship is still operating today used for charitable work around the world.
Hey Stu, you just made my Queens Birthday holiday off work a bloody Beauty!.....I got so many ideas off this brilliant video.......boat Design discussed by people who actually understand it.....like "Grand Designs"......for people who Love boats.......I Love it......the road trip footage was Grouse.....as where the critters on the road............Brupeg is amazing!!......Damien and Jess Thanks for sharing....make no mistake.....you are both Brilliant.......every word of your Antarctic Rationale demonstrates the seriousness of your collective endeavour....Antarctica is off the scale difficult.....your Design ideas have inspired me, especially the bit about "do not die".....and yes Jess.....she does have a sexy bowline.....Good on Yer Stu.......and "God Save The Queen".....shout out to all the Commonwealth Nations........c'mon.....it's appropriate......it's Her Birthday
@@lancer2204 great analogy, but if you had to survive on that elephant, one would be hog tied to it and could never adventure with such a weight on ones shoulders... (motivation, motivation, perseverance)
I have enormous respect for all of you. Such amazing fore planning, a constant throughout the boat. (As a disabled person myself, such love in the enormous wheelchair. I miss my long walks.) Love to see how you incorporate some of these ideas in your own trawler.
Man this is the best channel I've found in a long time. I have almost zero experience with boats but I actually live only a few miles from the coast, really makes me want to buy a cheap boat and restore it.
Just finished the rest of the video, and I am very impressed with how well thought-out Brupeg is. They seem like great folks, and high marks to them for so much innovation and the practical thinking behind each decision. The bigger the boat, the more time, work and money it takes to maintain them. These videos are making me appreciate my little tin boat more and more!
Mate love your work. Came to Australia from NZ 1988. Ended up in Cairns as I was a fisherman back home and heard about prawn trawling jobs plentiful up there. First job I got as a deckhand was on the Brupeg, named after original owners Bruce and Peggy. Great to see almost 40years later she's been treated so we'll. Will go and checkout the Brupeg Project channel. Blast from the past, orrsum!
Really enjoyed your tour/visit to Damien and Jess's Brupeg. Been watching them for along while and you showed some things in your video Damien hasn't shown yet but it's all good. It got me subscribed to your channel so it's a double hit of Boat Refits. Many thanks for sharing, look forward to viewing more..Take care and stay safe !!
Hi Stu, You have a new subscriber as does Brupeg! What an amazing project! My boat is a 32 foot Jeanneau Merry Fisher 925 (which would probably make a great tender for Brupeg!) which is a bit of a toy boat by comparison, but she is my pride and joy. I will be binge-watching all the back episodes of both yours and Brupegs stories. I am completely in awe of you guys and wish you all the best with your projects. Greetings from Merseyside, UK!
Great stuff stu ! No sign of any 7 course dinners there. You seem super enthralled of the Brupeg project and inspired. Also it was really great to meet you and have a chat at the sanctuary cove boat show. Cheers mate. Safe journey home. Waz
Hello Stu, Great video and a lovey couple working together for their shared vision. You make me realize alot of my yt subscriptions just make me feel I want to buy stuff. Your content makes me want to do stuff get outdoors and on the water in my boat. Cheers for your inspiration from the UK.
Brupeg, while underway, will smell like a Mickey D’s French fry cooker! Thanks for the video of the countryside! Lots of folks in the US and other countries have never seen anything of Australia, except for two or three tourist points of interest.
Well done! Always great to see how others approach an issue and the imagination that is used. BRUPEG... what a fantastic project and headed to the ice sheets.
Mr Dangar is so special I can't get enough of his channel I would love to drink some down under beer with him when he gets his boat in the water I totally can't wait
Love seeing you guys together chatting and swapping ideas,and the great walk through of Brupeg.My sister was in bundy yesterday and I told her about your project. Thanks for taking the time to do that little video. Love what you guys are doing. Cheers from gloomy Melbourne.
On the sea going Tugs that I worked on we had "Channel Coolers" basically what you have are plates (maybe 2" deep by 12" wide by however long is needed) running lengthwise down the hull with as many circuits as needed. This system is really bullet proof as they are very heavy plate and can take a bunch of abuse. Whenever we were out of the water, all of the Blocks were actually on the Coolers, just to show you how strong that can be. If your interested let me know and I'll get you some more information. Please keep the great videos coming!
Great video mate..I would have loved to come down for a hello but cant unfortunately but thanks for the tour of Brupeg..I have seen her on the hard and often had a small daydream as drove by..Thanks everyone..
Very Interesting video thanks, but the veggie oil for power Interested me.. I owned an early 3 door Discovery diesel, old fashioned 2 1/4 lump, but that ran on new fresh cooking oil I got in bulk.. started first time every time but in winter I put a splash of Unleaded in to make it unable to get too thick.. exhaust smelt like a chip shop though - lol.. Keep the videos coming - thanks - Ian - coastal North Essex - UK.
I am so glad you guys never where in my english class at school, because my teacher would have flogged you by the second Umm, but excellent program and has taught me a lot about steel boats in general and their wiring and what to watch for when redoing the boat.
I have more than 45 years at sea, i started as a deckylearner and worked my way up to Captain for the last 17 years before retiring, I have worked on all size vessels from rowing boats to 50meter supertrawler, mostly in the fishing industry but had a good few years in oilrig standby and supply. Any wiring in control boxes, charging and almost anything is always best on the deckhead(roof for non seamen) not on the deck(floor)and in the centre not at the sides, any small amount of water in that hold will get into those control boxes as the boat rolles from side to side as it will travel along the deck and up the bulkhead. If you take a look round almost any profesionaly built boat/ship you will see that control panels of any type are usually suspended and towards the centre line not on the outside hull as in a big roll can be lower than the deck.
Damien is awesome mate. Jess is cool. I really looked forwards to this vid. Congrats Stu! Really hope you find some useful bits there. Looks like you did. Brupeg is a awesome trawler.
Great video guys I 've recently subscribed to brupeg and young bloke further north called rusting away. I think you'd be a Great mentor for him Stu . Now the negative that 6 cyl cummins is going to be a shit load quieter then your 4cyl detroit , your mounts and dapening will be critical . Lots of great information.
Ernest Shackleton's expedition down there when their ship got stuck in the ice & got crushed just at the start of ww1 & their then sailing in the ships lifeboats to safety is one of the most amazing true stories . . tough fellows .
There you go.... I have never installed multiple solar controllers as I believed that they 'fight' against each other. That is one sees the other's voltage and believes the battery is charged and stops charging. Time for some experimenting to prove Damian's setup. Great work again Stu. Thanks. SOLVED: After watching Brupegs latest vid they all work together as one communicating via Bluetooth. Very flash!
Yes, excellent Stew... Have been looking forward since last time to this trip, cause I did likewise visit others who were hailed out exchanging views ideas and work to do costs etc. Fun break, and did extrememly love the drive ... never ever along this route and always into a little adventure... Cheers mate, I'll grab a brew and settle back.
Now this is the true anzac spirit...👍good on ya cobba..and u 2 bro!!!..lol..two of the best youtube channel's ...it's like when Laverne & Shirley meet the fonz.....
Some thoughts you might like to pass on. I worked as a fitter on the yearly refit of L'Astrolabe, the French ice breaker supply ship for their Antarctic base. She was a modified oil rig supply ship, they cut a large section out of the bow and fitted a sloping 80 mil plate into it to enable it to ride up on the ice. The rear deck was completely covered by a solid steel shed for want of a better description and was for cargo. The hull had any number of water intakes but all were flush with the hull to allow ice, free passage. The hull had deep gouges, ( 1 to 2 mil deep, look like cut with a lathe tool) around the bow and the taper to the props at the stern, we had to pull the shafts to xray them because of ice hits on the props. I asked the skipper, a salty old dog indeed, why the props did not have some form of guard and he explained that it had been tried and failed because the ice bent the guards onto the props. Most times the helmsman would hear a big piece scraping the stern and feather the props, but there was a constant banging of smaller pieces hitting the blades. So thought one is that shield has to go, imagine a half ton of very cold ice jamming its nose in there. I also suspect in might cause cavitation in very rough seas. Thought two, the amount of glass on the boat. L'Astrolabe had a very high foredeck section, with the wheelhouse atop it, you have seen them no doubt. I asked the skipper about the about the 80 mil plate glass in the forward facing windows, he explained it was not unusual to have green water hit them, the side windows were thinner, the only other holes she had in her were portholes on the lower wheelhouse section which I think was accommodation. Bloody marvellous adventure but never underestimate the destructive power of the southern ocean.
So one thing definitely leads to another. You put me on to Brupeg shortly after you put your boat on the hard. Now it's good to watch your collaboration. Just a few things, can you get Damien to demonstrate how the emergency starter rope works 52:00. Also, you're a brave man, going into the back country wearing those shades. Keep it coming, all of you.
Subscribed to Project Brupeg now! I’m going to become deeply unpopular when the binge watch marathon begins! Pleased to hear that split door idea is being considered!
I have about everything on my bucket list checked off but I really wanna go to Australia spend about 2 months traveling the countryside. And if I could do that bring in my own Jeep that would make it all the better. Beautiful video love watching the boat projects..
Great swing out design for the door. I'd be sure to put two beefy hinge swing points on the door and be able to dog it secure for heavy seas. Great video!!
Another variant on keel cooling that may be suitable for you Stu is chine cooling, create extra chines along the hull using say 75 X 75 right angle steel welded directly to the hull and run your fresh water cooling through the chine. Not only do the two sides of the chine radiate heat but the entire hull plate also adds to the radiant surface area. Detroit in Adelaide built a house boat for the parent company Bowater Tutt that went onto the Hawkesbury river decades back using this system The boat ran a 3-71 as a main driving a hamilton jet drive. It only had one chine per side with an inboard bridge pipe from one chine to the other at the bow, I can't remember how long they were exactly, maybe 8 meters? Advantages, super cheap, as it's mainly off the shelf angle, zero snag risk, and it could actually help with stability on your boat. Cheers, Ray
Another great video Stu. Brupeg is such a big project so hats off to them for having the bottle to take it on. The hinges were clever stuff. Scale-wise the Dangar project is easier to take in for me, sort of more credible as less daunting.
Nice open roads and lots of sheep Australia is without doubt a wonderful country for sure. Nice upload enjoyable and entertaining, but hell your boat could be used as a life boat on that beast I can understand why it's taken 3 years and work still outstanding thanks for the upload best regards from a land lubber pom.😊
Epic! Epic! Happiness is an hour and 12 minutes of Danger Marine! I'll be following Brupeg from now on. The vegi oil experiment is fascinating.

Thanks Camano man, we have a playlist on our verge oil conversion on the Project Brupeg channel
Nice work on the restoration. Sounds very satisfying and worthwhile!

Man i get so stoked when i see Dangar has uploaded another video lol, Keep up the great content man!
Thanks mate. :)
Couldn’t agree more, highlight of my week
Gotta admit that job is overwhelming, where do you people get the tenacity and where with all, truly impressive stuff.
Same way you eat an elephant, one bite at a time.
@@lancer2204 great analogy, but if you had to survive on that elephant, one would be hog tied to it and could never adventure with such a weight on ones shoulders... (motivation, motivation, perseverance)
Never cease to be amazed how complex such projects as yours are.The Project Brupeq video illustrates once more what commitment is required.
Finally get the best two boat shows together, this one deserves a few beers. Cheers 🍺
Brilliant video, Stu - thanks. And a big thank you to Jess and Damian for the incredibly detailed tour.
I have enormous respect for all of you. Such amazing fore planning, a constant throughout the boat. (As a disabled person myself, such love in the enormous wheelchair. I miss my long walks.) Love to see how you incorporate some of these ideas in your own trawler.
Thanks Diane Swift
Project Brupeg Your really incredible. If I weren’t so poor, I’d be a Patreon. Seriously
Thanks Diane, looking forward to getting back to the boat and putting some of these ideas into action.
Man this is the best channel I've found in a long time. I have almost zero experience with boats but I actually live only a few miles from the coast, really makes me want to buy a cheap boat and restore it.
Thanks mate. There are plenty of old boats around that are almost being given away. Restoring them is very satisfying and a lot of fun. :)
My dad went to Australia when he was in the navy. Now I want to go to Australia. Such a beautiful country.
Wow, awesome video. I need to watch it twice for all the info to sink in. It’s as good as a feature length film for me. That’s a huge ship!
Kris Anderson it’s not all about size. Stu’s wee one is cute
Wow! Hahaha!😆

Great to see you’ve come up to visit us in Bundaberg. Visit the rum factory while you’re here!
Just brilliant work from team Brupeg and yourself Stu. Thoroughly enjoyed that.
Brupeg is by far the best looking boat around, can't wait to see it finished
Hello Stu,
Great video and a lovey couple working together for their shared vision. You make me realize alot of my yt subscriptions just make me feel I want to buy stuff. Your content makes me want to do stuff get outdoors and on the water in my boat. Cheers for your inspiration from the UK.
Nice video! I follow the brupeg project as well and it’s nice to see the collaboration
I'm unsubscribing from Dangar Marine and subbing to Brupeg.
Just fuck'n with ya, Stu!
Thanks for taking us on your adventure, Stu! Really enjoyed it.

How’s the smoke up there mate? Couldn’t see the sun a few days ago in Vancouver
@@cameronrobertson9518 It cleared out here a few days back, so must have just reversed and headed to the west coast.
Great driving along with you, lots of great inventions and ideas for you to use on your boat Stu, thank you, Jeff in LA USA
So pleased to have all the good ideas to use.
Awesome catch up Stu. Damien and Jess are inspirational that’s for sure. Also great to see you take my old route to the Sunshine State. Cheers 🍻

Now that was one of the best show and tells I've seen on UA-cam !
Super awesome video watching the three of you! Damien is a brilliant guy with an amazing creativity. You guys rock!
Thanks Dan C. I thing quite like getting stuck in and having a good old go at something
Damien is awesome mate. Jess is cool. I really looked forwards to this vid. Congrats Stu! Really hope you find some useful bits there. Looks like you did. Brupeg is a awesome trawler.

Now the negative that 6 cyl cummins is going to be a shit load quieter then your 4cyl detroit , your mounts and dapening will be critical . Lots of great information.
Yes, I am going to have a lot more noise reduction work to do for sure.
99k subs says it all!! Thoroughly enjoyable - every time.
Great video mate. The love for that landrover is so strong. So good to see you smile stu
Very nice video. I subscribed to the Brupeg channel way before I found yours. I love both channels.
Saturday nights must be fun on Dangar Island.
They have their moments. ;)
Phenomenal project, also love the lines of the yacht alongside.
Awesome! What a huge project....props to Project Brupeg!
...and that was just the dingy!!! LOL
A lot of boat for sure. Huge project. Be interesting to see her when she is done.

Keep it coming, all of you.
Thanks Stu, I always learn something .
Cool to you guys together after watching both channels.

Damn. This was ridiculously informative. Great stuff!
Nice open roads and lots of sheep Australia is without doubt a wonderful country for sure. Nice upload enjoyable and entertaining, but hell your boat could be used as a life boat on that beast I can understand why it's taken 3 years and work still outstanding thanks for the upload best regards from a land lubber pom.😊
Can I double like this video for both your channel and Brupeg? lol. Good video!
It was funny seeing frost on the Land Rover. Summer just started here in the U.S. great video!!
