Once Abandoned Canal Boat - Now On The Move - Episode 4

- The time has arrived for our once abandoned canal boat to move, see if she floats while on the move and get working on her. Its all very nerve racking and the fact that we were able to move it with what we did made it a little more entertaining and interesting.

Well, Priscilla & Chris, I was surprised that a 6 hp outboard could push your boat😮. Your doggie is loving running on the rooftop. Your boat is unique & beautiful! I look forward to its restoration.
Chris and Priscilla, thanks for the all video effort documenting your experience (adventure?) in moving the boat. I'm glad the little outboard successfully did the job but, sorry the trip to P&S didn't work out. Turning a full size canal boat around in tight corners, I'm sure was challenging but, glad all went according to plan without any disasters. You two are making really good progress on the boat, keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words 😊 everyday is definitely different and we try our best
So impressed with you guys “can do” attitude. My stress levels rose just watching. Brilliant. 👏👏👏
What I love most about these videos is that you do not give up. You accept challenges with such grace. ( I am sure you want to wail behind a tree some days)/ You work together well. And you are not rushing anything. Your humility will take you far. Making me want to continue watching your progress. yay
The sound is very much better. No more buzzing and very good when you are near the microphone. I suspect you will be getting separate microphones in the future as when you are not close the sound goes away. Excellent job turning the boat around. I am sad that no one would help you guys but good on both of you for getting it done yourselves! You both seem to not get very aggrevated when things go wrong and that is fantastic!
Well done guys the little outboard moved a lot now the fun begins stay safe. 👍👍👍👍
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
that stern rail is wonderful I hope you are going to keep it
Hello from Kansas! Wow I'm impressed that the tiny outboard actually moved that beast! It looks like you've got a great hands-on captain there on board with you! Back and forth on the overhead making sure everything is ship shape! Stay safe!!!
You guys are doing an awesome job with this.
Thank so much 😊
I have walked past this boat many times and you moved it past my boat when you moved it a few months ago now. It put a smile on my face. Always thought this could be a lovely boat oneday as it has lovely lines. Sandblasting is a good idea but where?? If P&S are not available.
You came out of that experience remarkably unscathed. I was kind of surprised nobody offered to help, but hey, you got the job done. On to the next marina.
Your captain keeps pacing the deck, wanting to bark off orders to the crew!
Hi 👋🏻 great seeing the old girl move 👏🏻 Well done 👍🏻
I worked on catamaran in a lagoon in California. We had to sand the bottom and re paint the entire hull, and make repairs. We only had time to work while the tide was out. It took 6 weekends to finish the job. It sailed from California to The Caribbean where my friend was moving. I love boats and they take so much work. But it will be worth every hour you spend on it. Sending good vibes from Italy.
Love the engineering, outboard fixed on the rudder.
Good job! 👍
Thanks 👍
@@DuoVagari Yeah I really enjoyed that McGuyver plan. Looks like it was already there? Does your outboard really have no reverse?
Our outboard does have reverse but we couldn't see the leaver to lock the trim found on most larger outboards
The sound of that little engine reminds me my first , 49cc motorbike when I was 16, more then 46 years ago. 😊 Good luck withe the rebuild.
Nice one guys!! Well done! Will be looking out for the next update..
🤩Yay ! The HMS Offshore-gasm made it ! Brilliant !
Had our fingers crossed while biting our nails @ the same time !
Epic Thumbs Up ! & Thanks For Sharing !
😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great work Priscilla, team work
Bonsoir vous deux. J'ai découvert votre chaine youtube il y a peu de temps et j'ai trouvé votre projet de restauration vraiment très intéressant mais aujourd'hui lorsque j'ai vu la façon dont vous vouliez déplacer votre bateau je n'y croyais absolument pas mais vous avez réussi. Alors respect. Je vous souhaite le meilleur pour les mois a venir. Vous êtes courageux et déterminés. Il ne fait aucun doute que vous allez mener ce projet à son terme. Prenez soin de vous. Amitiés du sud de la France. Olivier.
Thank you kindly for your comment and welcome aboard our journey hope to keep you entertained going forward
You did amazingly well to turn that huge boat with no reverse thrust! It must only get easier from here on out. I'm impressed with that outboard motor as well as your skills.
Thanks Sue 😊
Thanks Sue we appreciate the support! Thanks for watching 😃
Your determination paid off. Well done both. 😊
Wow what a massive project can't wait to follow your progress
Hats off for accomplishment in getting this far. I am excited to see this boat turn into a home. Best wishes from Montana
Well done with those movements, looking to your next vlog.😊
Will were in for your adventure looking forward to it . Happy canalling
Amazing thanks for the support!!
Great to see the old girl move at last, keep up with the great video's 😊
Hi guys love the project, you will find nearly all outboards have a butterfly screw on the leg thagt allows you to lock the engine in any position. Good luck, Tim.
Hi guys, I’ve been on a boat for many years and I did not think that little outboard would actually move the boat , LOL, I’m so happy that I didn’t keep up the good work. Love your videos. Can’t wait to see you start working on it full time or part time Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island 🧑🏾🦽🏝🏝️🦘🐨🇦🇺
It’s sad to know no one helps others anymore but on the bright side you know you can handle it yourself. Well done
You two are a hoot. Bless you and keep on posting. ☠️
Hi guys well done, I didn't think that little engine would move that boat 🛥. Great content looking forward to more thanks.
I can only say that was very well done , especially with no help , must have been scary at times too. It’s going to be awesome, good idea to cover the windows looks better already and keeps the rain out , stay safe guys 👍
Your dog is so cute supervising the move!
Thanks Kevin he definitely is a character 😃
Like all restoration projects it depends on your budget and long term aims. I admire the way you are approaching this very laid back project , surely that is the best way, little by little, no rush no stress.
Glad you be having it sandblasted 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
What a wonderful, determined and crazy 🤪 couple. Best wishes for your new home. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Fantastic achievement on moving that huge boat with just brut force !!
I'm thinking that boat of yours is DEFINITELY going to need some kind of bow thruster ... if there is such a thing for a canal boat !!
Looking forward to the next one !!
Gentleman on "My First Boat" put a bow thruster on his old Dutch Barge. Worked really well once he had the electrics sorted out.
Another narrow boater who’s on UA-cam traveled by your boat and made a good comment about it. I just can’t wait to see what y’all do with it. I think the boat is fabulous!!!
Give us your UA-cam and we will give you a follow! Thanx for watching 🙌
@@DuoVagari it’s Chris Mears channel I was watching and I believe he is the one who showed your boat this week on his channel. I’m just a viewer but watch many narrowboat people. I’ve been getting over an illness and narrow boats relax me.
Well welcome aboard our journey wish you a speedy recovery
A great video. That turn was amazing!
Hello..i stumbled across your video and was intrigued. Glad to see that you're going to revive that boat and give it another life. Im a retired engineer/teacher from Vegas, now living on the Oregon coast. I see lots of delapitated boats that don't get the love they deserve, so I look forward to watch your progress, i know its going to be a lot of work. I just finished building two houses here, and because of the weather it took a couple of years, so I am relieved that I'm finally done with them. Keep at it, you'll be done before you know it.
Thanks Daniell we appreciate the support!. Wow building two houses that’s a big achievement! We would love to build a house one day. Thanks for watching
We’ve done so much with so little for so long , we now can do practically anything with nothing !
Wish you to the best wishes that you keep the course , and I will go along for the ride .
Sporty people. Less is often more. Godspeed with your project!
After these manoeuvres you both qualify as a harbour master, congratulation, good to see you‘ve barricaded the boat
If I hadn't seen it I would never have believed it. Well done.
Your thought Process is excellent.. Well done Guys
Hi there. I found myself watching this. Quite a project! But so roomy. You did so well, warping the boat around using the mooring lines. Like they had to in the days before engines. Horses towed barges.
You have 6 horsepower! Same as my 22ft, 1.5 ton sailing boat. My Tohatsu drives her up to 4.5 knots, but in waves, the propeller comes in and out of the water, very stressful. I have an extension that fits over the twist-grip throttle, so only need to hang over the stern to engage neutral or astern gear.
It's amazing how you can move a big floating thing with so little power. It's because water has very little friction. Attempting this in a strong wind would be inadvisable without help from people ashore who know what to do.
All the best.
Nick
What a very cool piece of history, I'm glad to hear that you are putting it on the hard to have it sandblasted. Do the barge justice, and it will be a blessing many times over when it's finished. It won't be easy or cheap, but it will be worth it when its done . Awesome job
Methinks you're both going to be very fit at the end of the renovation 😉🤣
Impressive work! Keep it up! Inspires me to consider a canal boat project myself.
Thank you for watching 🙌 welcome aboard
The rainbow at the end òf the canal after you came out of your first lock was a nice touch
I can see this looking amazing once completed > cant wait to see it >
WoW!!! It is moving! This is crazy! Congratulations!
Thanks for watching!
Keep them coming youngsters--I am from Lebanon PA where the Union Canal got its start but unlike England which kept its canal system the intelligent bureaucrats got rid of ours. OH, what a wonderful tourist attraction it would be.
Thanks Roy we appreciate your support all the way from Lebanon!! Welcome aboard
Well done for moving the boat I was surprise that that motor could move that barge well done and I am glad you both have made a decision to have it blaster best way forward 😊😊😊😊😊😊
This is turning into one bloody adventure.
😁 hope you enjoy the journey going forward and thanx for stepping aboard our adventures
Well done for getting the rust bucket moving with that tiny outboard motor. To be honest I was most impressed!
Thanks Andre we appreciate the support
Well done you will get there and all your hard work will be worth it in the end,smoky but steady is the way to go 😂😂❤
What a beautiful boat love watching nice job
Very cool! I love the design of the boat!
Thank you 😊
You have a new subscriber. I can't wait to watch more episodes where you're turning this to a beautiful home. What a great project. Much love from Poland!
Thanks for the support we really appreciate it !!
HI, from Texas. You two are amazing.
Hey hey welcome aboard and thank you for watching
Great work, I'm enjoying your challenge
Thank you for beautiful video from fiji island god bless ❤❤❤
Love your doggo, on guard
Keep those railings , replace missing bits, de-rust and find a great colour 😊 they are lovely
Great work guys
S.S. rustbucket lives to see another day....looking firward to see the outcome....liking the double width
First time watching your videos and immediately recognized the South African accent. Best of luck with the boat house.
Well done. Amazing job. Wish I could have been there to see and offer help.
Hi both, i bet you got some looks from people with that little engine, but it did the job that's what matters. Maybe a life jacket for your little dog just in case. 😊
Definitely got some reactions was really fun day out to be honest 😃 thanks for watching
The series The Highlander in the series he had a barge just like that
Keep posting on your progress...it is an awesome project.
Thanks Paul, definitely will do!! Thanks for watching 😃
It's always fun until you get the quotes 😅. When you said bungee cords I almost choked on my coffee. I wish I was able to help, unfortunately I'm state side. Much respect and success. It's gonna look awesome. Cheers.
Yes definitely Thanks so much!!
Good luck to the three of you (dog too) he's cute. Best Wishes and fair winds.
Maybe a phone call to the boat yard before would have been a good plan ??? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
An important part of these projects is content creation so sometimes work is less efficient than one might expect. It would be most efficient to spend no time filming, editing and posting the videos, but then where does that leave us who are enjoying the journey, literally and figuratively? I am very interested to see the completion of the interior as I am quite put off by the "corridor life" of the narrowboats. This is the only one I can fancy myself living in. Eagerly awaiting more adventures!
Yes most definitely but we figured we were fairly close by and we needed to move the boat to a better area :)
Thanx for joining us aboard our boat Rob 😊 definitely more adventures to come!
I hope you get the sandblasting done okay good luck 😊😊😊
Brilliant well done both of you , boat people are supposed to be salt of the earth I guess that’s changed I mean the people who stood and watched instead of trying too see if you need help what a word we now live in . Anyways I think you’re both amazing and that little engine doing fantastic I can’t wait for the future as I can see two very capable people who have a dream and it will be done lol love it ❤
G'day Crew..
Just started watching , looks like this old girl has lots of potential. Can't wait to see what you do with her
Best Wishes
Respect....!
Welcome aboard :)
Loving this project guys and love it when you post new content.
Keep up the good work, its giving me so much inspiration 🙌🏽💙
Great to hear! Thank you for watching
Well pleased for you both :)
Thanks so much! & thank you both for watching our adventure ☺️
This is going to be an adventure. Cant wait to see the monster boat become's.. following!
Thanks Jason welcome aboard 😃
Well done, I'm going to watch you guys, it's a dream I've had for quite a while to try this life.
Thanks Marion welcome aboard we hope you enjoy the series ! 😃
I'm hooked, I don't know how this channel came to me, but I was very interested in what this boat will look like in the end, it's a shame UA-cam didn't tell me a little later, so I wouldn't have to wait so long to see it finished, I'm a bit anxious, but I'm waiting and I'll continue following here, what a great idea you had, good luck, I hope it doesn't take too long to finish it.
Hahah oh gosh we had a good chuckle at this comment. You will have to be stuck with us for a little while a think. Thanx for joining our journey
Aww,, ain't that the cutest thing!😅
Good luck guys!
Fantastic Job done. The 2 of you with no help!!! If feel that some of the people in the Marina could have given you a hand. Well done.
Estou torcendo por voces,gosto muito dessas empreitadas. Vou segui-los até a viagem de inauguração. Imagino que ficará lindo. Boa sorte!
Your little boat isn't giving in, is she? Well done all.. 👏👏👏😂
OK, I just didn't wait long enough for your episode 4 to answer my question!
Thanks for watching 😃
Less oil, it's a nice new outboard, not a museum-piece Seagull 🙂. It’s probably meant to be running about 50:1, and shouldn't be smoking any near that much. It will start and run better, and won't risk foulingthe sparkplug at a really inconvenient moment if you get that right. Can't believe all the numpty's just sat and watched you turning that beast, good job
Well Done on the move :)
Thanks so much
❤ The long dog on a long boat.
So nobody helped you turn the barge round , BUT , you did it ALL yourselves and proved the barge is more than manageable by just the two of you .....well done . Next big thing is get her on dry land and cleaned up ............onwards and upwards .
It'll be much heavier and deeper when it's not an empty shell. But yes, well done.
14:35 i thought you were on fire. That little china-made motor is loving this
I'll tow/push you if i see you about,bin on that boat,about 15 miles from you, very surpriseded outboard did anything at all,well done, Charlie no shoes,have welder, don't want to be on tv,you seem to be doing unbelievably well on your own,x
Thanks Charlie we appreciate that !! If you see us please say hello would be awesome to meet you!!
Awesome video.
Is it possible to push with long poles in the water, like the old American riverboats? Seems like y’all found a great solution though!
Bloody awesome, hats off to you both. Shame about P&S Marine. They were fabulous in helping James on the channel, The Narrowboat that James built.
Can’t fault them it’s our fault really bad timing! We also just hoping to achieve more over the winter and can’t really wait that long perhaps we will be back there someday for other works.
Well done guys that was great I would have offered to help you if I was in the area but your doing ok good luck 😊😊😊
Thanks Tracy we appreciate the kind words it's enough support even from a far :)
Well done both of you and the puppy 👌. I will be following your journey to restore this wonderful boat. Good luck 👍 ❤ The Martineers magnet fishing group...... also on UA-cam 😊
Thank you for jumping onboard, we just subscribed happy fishing!
You 2 are moving along . That motor is ok . It even keeps the bugs down . With the smoke . I had a couple of 2 cycles like that . They will get the job done . It is harder but you can get around with reverse. Ropes are your friends.
