You two are a breath of fresh air. So inspiring! The wife and I are doing the same up north on our 31' flybridge. Love your sense of adventure. Godspeed ❤
when drilling gel coat and fibreglass slightly counter the hole to prevent cracking the gel coat when tightening the screws
Another amazingly successful video! LOVE the new intro! Always keeping things fresh!!🥰
OMG! My family had a Marine Trader Europa 36! Super rugged, economical, If you like the 8 knot speed you have a winner!
Charging for pump out is crazy. Long Island New York it’s free everywhere you go. There’s even boats that go around pumping out boats for free from the towns.
Hi, like your videos. One advice on mounting hardware on outside of the boat. Don't use silikone. Use 3M or Sikaflex product. Silikone will break down after while. Lifetime boat building experience. Cheers Joe from Vancouver Canada.
Silicone will also absorb into the surface. You can never get it all off. Polyurethane products only. Also look into butyl tape as a good bedding material that does not break down.
You will want that 124' rope for tying off to shore on several of your anchorings! I can think of plenty of places that other channels have used shore lines to secure their anchorage
A lot of similarities we experienced when we bought our fifth wheel.. lots to learn and lots of great advice from others is always helpful and appreciated when offered in a kind way. When people give advice in a not so friendly way, take it with a grain of salt.. very proud of you two following a dream and making it a reality. One life, one chance, be happy!!❤
Apologies Carly, but I loved watching you struggle with tying off the rope at the end... looks like it might be easier to drop it behind you and walk out than try tossing it over your shoulder 🤣😇
Suggestion for your next pump out…..use disposable gloves just in case of accidental spillages.
Y'all are learning so fast, impressive! Keep documenting for us, I love seeing your projects, and progress on the water.
Great video! You both are doing a great job! With the pump out, dollar tree has a package of white disposable gloves that are great for boating pump out and other messy things!
As far back as you can go with clothespins... you don't want gusts of wind blowing your skivvies around the water LOL
Great to watch your progress! My son and I did the loop in 2013. Experience of a lifetime. When drilling into glass, use a lot more sealant. Water WILL get into the tiniest little separation, so put sealant all the way around the edges, so it gushes out when you screw the fitting down. Clean up the excess with mineral spirits. Also, next time you pump out, find a hose and give the tank a good rinse. That will help prevent smells, since after you've pumped out, there's a lot of air in the tank that will allow the nasty stuff to grow.
New intro alert🚨🚨🚨
Hi, we are enjoying your videos. Please tell us how you get Ripley to the fly bridge?
Those propane tanks are in a very dangerous place. If they leak , propane is heavier than air and can leak into your living area . They should be in box on the fly bridge properly vented. Even if they are spares
Came here to say this. Those tanks need to be stored in a proper locker that vents to the outside of the boat!
Where was Ripley for the pumpout?
Jumping from boat to dock in flip-flops is a recipe for disaster. Get some solid boat shoes before you end up in the hospital instead of the loop! Otherwise, a fun video. No bow thruster;? Oh my, you are going to have a wonderful experience..
It's not a sign . It's a name .
How do you get your dog up and down from the fly bridge?
You chipped the hell out of the fiberglass when you put that oversize screw in the undersized hole. If you’re kind of new at doing stuff, ask for opinions and how to install things from people because we’ll save you a lot of damage to your boat. Those look like size 10 or 12 screws when all you needed are size 6 or 8. And that’s because you had three separate holes in three separate corners …you don’t need a whole lot of gripping to keep it from falling off or getting loose. Most times the grade of silicone used outside FOR A BOAT, is important. 3M Marine Silicone is ideal. House stuff, not so much.
In the future, do not use silicone! Use 3M 4000 (never 5200!) or Sikaflex. Silicone will never allow you to paint without a ton of prepping. Please throw away every silicone tube you have and go buy the good stuff.
just so you know moving forward... homedepot stainless hardware sucks and will rust waaay before any other of the stainless screws. you need to get your hardware at worst marine or if you have another real boat supply store around you. also never ever use silicone on a boat you need to use 3m 5200,4200, 4000uv. these are not silicone but rather urethane adhesive sealants instead of silicone. silicone really sucks, the worst part about silicone is after you use nothing will stick to where it was used not even silicone.
