Very cool build. One thing that might be helpful is there is a kill switch watch you can buy so if you fall off the boat it will kill the motor. If you’re going to be out there by yourself walk around then it’s a good idea so your boat doesn’t run away if you fall off
Exactly
You could hook up a Bluetooth receiver that connects to a smart watch and when it detects the smartwatch is too far away it will stop the motor
@@Vaasmios Doesn't help if you fall under and drop the remote.
@@EnsignLovell you wouldn't need the remote if the intention is to make the boat stop when you fall overboard and you would be wearing the watch that is connected to the boat
@@Vaasmios So how are you going to be further away from the front of the boat under the water, directly under the reciever, than if you were at the other side of the boat from the reciever, actually on the boat...? Do you really not see the issue here, you fall off the front or side, you go under, you get something stuck on the props like an arm or even worse, loose clothing meaning you're now stuck by your clothes under water struggling to escape from them.
It's a good idea in theory yeah. But I feel like you're not getting the whole idea across the way you wanted to. Maybe you meant like, a watch with a moisture sensor or something? Because distance alone isn't going to work for a boat. Unless you're specific within around 30CM.
Peter, I'm a huge boat guy, I have a Captain's license and an Engineering license, and I've been watching your videos for years. I always found it fascinating how you could use open source drone software and build homemade drones that held position using GPS. I think it would be super cool to apply that concept to boats. Large oil rigs use dynamic positioning to stay in place and most modern boats are offered with some sort of position hold feature like SkyHook, but it would be cool to figure out a DIY solution using the thrusters and engine/steering controls. You could also do manual joystick control for low speed maneuvering.
I'm not smart enough to figure it out myself but I think it'd be a really neat video idea!
Not to advertise the competition but the rctestflight youtube channel has a bunch of videos about using waypoints and GPS to have RC planes, boats, and cars run specific mission profiles and his videos might be of interest to you.
GPS was going to be my suggestion too!
I'd bet Peter has experience with ArduPilot, and there's some existing projects using it for boats.
GPS waypoints, or even just trolling to hold a position would be pretty neat
yeah a DP project would be awesome, ideally you'd want to add a stern thruster for that too and you could control it with the right joystick.
maybe start with waypoint autopilot first and then dynamic pos.
Hey zach,
It's not too complex, and such autonomous systems can be very fun to learn and rewarding. I like using iNav software, and it has support for boats. With a 50 dollar off the shelf control board and a 50 dollar gps/compass module, you can get an autonomous system up and running around waypoints and pre-programmed missions. But if you really want to get into it, Ardupilot is a little more in-depth but the way...way more capable. Hope this provides some food for thought!
thrusters to hold the boat in position and a counterweight or gimbal to keep the top of the ship (or platform) completely stable. That would be a cool project for Peter
Love the boat Peter.
Tip about the brasses. After you clean the brasses, you can apply a lacquer to stop them from tarnishing as fast. Or put some oil on them, because the lacquer will bubble eventually and you would have to clean that.
Agree, I was going to say clear coat after cleaning brass. lacquer is a good option, other clear epoxy can work too. Anything that is sun and salt water proof is a good option. Oil will require most frequent reapplication.
Beat me to it... Dang
Turn it into a tiny R/C aircraft carrier. Build an attachable runway on either the port or starboard side.
turn it into a big rc aircraft
Large rc planes with small explosives
@@AnkushB1811 no.. small rc planes big explosives
as someone who grew up on the water around boats my whole life, I cant tell you how refreshing it is to see a new boater be so humble and willing to learn!
I can't believe there is a 21' boat with a bow thruster. That's nuts!
yeah same thats real cool
@@kiiiisu Ranger tugs baby! Im a sailboat guy but if I had to have a power boat, it would be a Ranger tug.
It's pretty normal 😅
@@Danndamannn Trust me, you'll soon realize you don't really want one. They're not exactly what you'd call top of the line... Let's just say there's a reason they don't cost much.
@@donhappel9566 what kn the sam hell are you on about! a used 23' ranger still goes for like 110-150k easily. A new one is 150k at least.
Very cool little boat! It's easy to get "too much boat" and then be bogged down with endless maintenance and repairs. Something this size is a great starter model, plus with a trailer you don't have to pay slip fees or worry about it sitting unattended at a dock. If you like physical printed reference material, Chapman's Piloting is a great boating skills book.
Be careful running the electric motor with the diesel engine off. If the shaft is spinning some of the gears in the gearbox (transmission) are turning and they are not being lubricated. Make sure you check the filter for metal shavings. We've had issues with this in strong currents with commercial towboats on the Ohio River. Such a cool idea!
I was just wondering how you were making out with my dad’s old boat. Awesome! So glad you got it, you did some very cool mods to it while still keeping that vintage vibe. Well done.
Wait is that ur dads boat
Yes, well was. Now it is Peter's.@@shadow_olly
thats what he said lol@@shadow_olly
Hey Peter, lifelong boater here, if you wax the portholes it will protect it from corrosion for a while, depending on spray and proper coverage. The wax should prevent oxidization by removing he sea air from touching it
Or spray varathane
That’s very smart, I didn’t think of that
clear coat would work no?
Clear powder coat.
there is a metal sealing epoxy that is designed for this . forgot the name but use it all the time on carbs. works beautifully.
Might be a good idea to encase the transmitter in a waterproof casing, or re-encase its electronics in a well designed bouyancy casing, with a strop around your neck, or clipped to your waist. That way, when running single-handed (solo), should you fall overboard - you can still control the vessel from the water and bring it back to retrieve you, providing you act quick enough within the range of the TX. You might also factor in some kind of processor that will detect when a TX signal is absent, or commands have not been received for a minimum period and shut down the engine. Even - given further period of absence of command; issue an automated distress message/EPIRB.
.
You should also consider always wearing at least a waist secured inflatable bouyancy aid/life jacket when pottering around on deck and always when single-handed. You would be surprised how easy it is to end up in the drink... Especially if you hit a semi-submerged treetrunk, which would stop your boat dead in the water, but the inertia at 5kts would certainly catapult you over the bow, or off the gunwales. Thus your RC Tx should be affixed to your person.
.
Depending upon where one lives, a Skipper's License is not usually required to own and operate a boat up to a certain size/tonnage.
But undertaking an internationally recognised course on coastal and even offshore navigation is a must if intending to undertake long-range coastal and offshore voyages. Likewise with radio communications. All vessels over 25 feet operating in coastal waters and using port facilities should carry maritime VHF sets with appropriate licensing. Worth doing and may even be necessary by some local PA operators.
Chief dose.
Great job on the refit. You will eventually get the experience as a captain, I learned to captain a boat on the black sea while stationed in remote Turkey 45 years ago.
Great video Peter. Please be aware though that established titles is unfortunately a scam. It is illegal to transfer these “novelty” plots in Scotland. The company is based in HK and literally taking your money and emailing you a pdf. Cheers!
This i s true, and very sad so many smart youtubers is falling for this scam.. And i working for the company more dnd more youtubers is advwering for them, this is the kind of situatione youtube shuld have stepped in and taken down the videos and demanded edering befire reuppload, and blacklisted the company from advertising on UA-cam.
It’s almost like when you have a 99% profit margin, you can throw a ton of money at UA-camrs. Just too bad where that cash is coming from.
Came here ti comment thisb
also it takes more than owning land in Scotland to become a lord or lady
Hey do you want to buy a star 😂
You made 4 different planes, one solar powered boat, bought a tug boat. Whats next?
SHPAYCE
A falcon equivalent rocket.
Aircraft carrier
RC SD60 Train
He's gunna buy a zoo and make a movie about it
This is fantastic... I saw your previous video for the smaller boat you made and now this is a step up from that... those Ranger tugs are a great fun boat and very efficient and useful for their size. Re the brass work, if you varnish the brasswork just after you have cleaned it then it will stay clean for a lot longer but keep the salt water off it as much as you can and just wipe or rub it over with some "BrassO" will also keep it shiny.
Awesome! Try to switch the PLA gears with metal gears to fix the cooling problem.
your videos never fail to impress. your ideas just keep getting crazier and crazier lol
Hey Peter getting hands on boat handling knowledge is priceless, look up the local power squadron because many put on boat handling courses.
A very good book for you would be Dave Gerr's The Nature of Boats. It will give you a lot of knowledge in one place that's easy to find. Dave is very good at making things understandable for the beginner.
I'm a retired marine mechanic and shipwright as well as a boat owner, I do hope you have fun on your marine adventures.
Amazing video! more projects about boats would be deeply appreciated!! And how is this boat, compared to your solar one?
Of all the things you've made or own, I envy this one the most!
This boat is great!
Neat boat!
It's fascinating how quickly those brass parts became corroded again from the sea water. I'm sure there are some clear coat products that could help.
You made restoring that boat look so fast and easy! How many hours did you put into making it look beautiful?
2 1/2 months of my life I’ll never get back 😂
@@PeterSripol definitely worth it tho! 👌
@@PeterSripol as tough as it was, we are all wishing we had that boat. It looks so cool!
@@PeterSripol It took me two and a half years to do a rebuild on a 20 ft sailboat. Sometimes times I wished I'd never started that project but now she's a fine vessel. Total Boat has good products.
My suggestion for things to add would be a wind generator. Fun with airfoils.
@@108gk It's funny how this is the first time I'm seeing someone sponsored by Total Boat actually use their epoxy resin to fix a boat.
Those gm Yanmars are super cool. Crazy simple motor and transmission. Cool build
Awesome video! Love the projects, your knowledge, and your creative spirit. Thank you for sharing.
Have you thought about adding an electromagnetic clutch for your trolling/RC functions? You can change out a lot of the manual work switching between the two. You can activate it all with your transmitter. You can get the clutches pretty inexpensively on ebay.
Bump
Mechanical systems don't suck battery power. Flipping a switch seems like a cool thing to engage/disengage, but for reliable function on batteries not so much.
@@warhound7781 I get what you are saying. You could have the ICE as the default, and the RC side on the clutch. If the batteries are dead, you wouldn't be able to use the RC controls anyways.
@@Jayjlow A default to engagement of secondary controls could get messy if there's ever a power fault though.
“Let’s go boating” Rangers are great little boats!
Great job with the R/C mods!
Great work! You have inspired me on a few builds that will be on my channel shortly! A great way to stop the corrosion is to apply a clear lacquer after cleaning and polishing!
1:26 LMAO also nice sketch of Southern 6900
Really love how passionate y’all seem about this project! More content like this please!😊
Herringbone gears should run quieter than the straight teeth on your electric drive, and normally run cooler in Naval turbines. (Not sure if that will translate to plastic gears.)
Absolute 10/10 cinematography in the beginning 🤩👍
Dude is following my own character arc. Started obsessed with planes and is now obsessed with boats.
great work! Awesome seeing these ideas come to life.
hello Peter i've been seeing your vids for years now, one thing i would say is if you want to keep the Port Holes shinning you can use clear varnish over them after sanding and they will last a very long time!
Keep it up you are amazing!
You can build a gyroscope to this boat to keep it balanced while the anchor is dropped. There are nice and interesting approaches on that topic. Have fun exploring ❤ greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
If you change the gear from straight to diagonal, or other patterns, it will be a bit more silent.
You should be able to get a captain license for driving small ships.
Yes i was thinking the same thing too! Herringbone gears would be better right?
The boat looks really good. I like what you've done so far. Looking forward to more.
Thank you for sharing Peter!! Keep up the good work!
Navigation is a must. Daily you can use pad, plotter or phone, but you need to learn navigate paper charts, compass, plot a course and locate by bering.
Safety on a boat is crucial.
Look at weather before you leave, learn how to pick up bad weather, backup communication like VHF or old mobile phone, tell a friend of your plans.
Safety equipment, extra anchor, extra mooring lines, backup propulsion (electric somewhat already done) paddle or a small sail, life jackets, harness if you are outside and completely alone on the boat and far from land. Learn knots for mooring, extend a line, a way that you can climb up on your boat if you ever fall in, make sure you reach it from the water.
How about another belt and pulleys instead of these noisy plastic wheels?
Happy boating.
This is absolutely the most creative boat project I've seen. Amazing.
What a great choice! And with a bow thruster. A game changer. Looking forward to see what happens.
That actually is a pretty cool little boat assuming it fits your needs. On the other hand I can definitely see it not being "the boat for me" for a lot of people. Definitely could be used as a great platform to making great videos tough.
you can DIY those pla gears as forms to cast aluminium gears by wax lost method in your garage.
I'm your good ole country boy , from north Carolina, I like this boat , honestly for what it's worth, awesome boat , relax and enjoy it
You are amazing! Love the updates and repairs - the boat turned out beautiful!
The repairs were easy when you have great products to work with 😂
@@PeterSripol please take off the established titles advert. You and your viewers deserve better than that.
Lest you may start to look like a sell out.
@@PeterSripol I agree with Bruce, that sponsor needs to stop spreading. Seen it on so many youtubers and the fact that the sponsor is still on the vids only makes me wonder how much sed youtuber actually cares.
Thanks Peter for making me want something I’ll never use as usual! You always make it look so easy and fun, despite all the time you put into these projects haha
タグボートをラジコンにする発想と実行するのも凄い
My fishing boat is a 1970 but I refurbished and updated it. Fell in love with my old boat working on it. know he enjoyed the refurb.
I'm sure the old owner would be happy to know his trusty ship is in good hands
it would be a lot of fun to see the rc elements improved! There are purpose-built boards for turning an RC pwm into the 1-4v hall sensor signal for the kart motor controller (it's also pretty straightforward to do with a microcontroller), and you could add a relay that bypasses the switch for the bow thruster. a more polished, powerful steering setup could be done with a stepper motor or other larger encoded motor, perhaps hidden behind the dashboard more.
link? ive been looking for something off the shelf to convert pwm to the signal for the cheap controller!
When going forward without the diesel running (as in being towed or, in your case under electric power), you need to close the seacock to avoid pushing water into the engine and causing a LOT of damage. I have owned a 2005 R21 for a very long time and put hundreds of hours on her.
Rabzlo 21 eltric putbard
hey peter, love the vids. with new years coming up you should check out the 15mm Variety signal flares and see if any video ideas come to mind
I'm so jealous of your shop to be able to work l on projects like this!!
After seeing your tiny house converting a boat would be pretty cool to watch. You could probably manage to do some pretty cool things with it!
Awesome little boat, I love that look, and bow thrusters on a 21 foot?! Awesome!
I understand established titles would've helped fund this, and the whole thing would've taken some hefty time, but pls let this be your last video sponsored by them ;-;
Excellent boat and great build! Although is nobody going to mention the massive shark at the end?? Either really good editing or that's a good sized shark! We want the sequel!
I saw this shark. Good ending.
10/10 should pimp out the sleep area. Might not use it insanely often but it would look so nice and youd always have it
Wow what a beautiful bulb thanks for sharing the video with us absolutely good work Keep it up I would love that little one again thank you for sharing
In the Marines, We shined brass CONSTANTLY!!! Now, we used brasso, BUT afterwards we cleaned the brass with rubbing alcohol, AND THEN coated it with a spray can clear coat,...Now, that made the shine last a VERY long time, it was a pain in the kiester when you had to strip the clear back off and re-polish it, but the difference was a shine/polish job lasting 2 weeks or 2 MONTHS!!
Peter is soon going to be rocking an aircraft carrier for all his planes
Great work getting that boat together. Congrats. Peter, any chance that electric motor can be used as an alternative starter for the diesel engine?
Cute little boat , Love it you certainally look after it
Would be cool to see you make some biodiesel from used cooking oil and run it as the "McGreasel Tug!"
Looks like you need to replace the zinc block. They will stop some corrosion or something similar. My dad had boat so he knew about them.
absolute game changer with the new boat content! life batteries are super safe too. awesome rc setup. looking forward to more boat content!
Thanks for posting, cool project. 😎
WOW pete ! what a stunning boat youve done, im a huge boat lover all kinds of boats, this one is so so stunningly beautiful, stay blessed bro !
Surprised you didn't do herringbone pattern on the gearing; the little I've done with them with 3D printing was pretty promising. Were standard gear designs preferable?
Perfect choice, Great job on top as well. conventional drive is superior to others. Nice very nice
Have you seen the Saildrone sail design? It looks very much like an aircraft, what looks like an elevator is actually "sheeting in" or controlling the sail position. Very cool.
I thought that thing with the Land Tiles in Scotland was some kind of scam. I was reading it could not be a truth that you can get a Lord Title for a square meter. Nice video and Boat ! Your content is always amazing to watch.
Its fake. They plant a tree and send you a piece of paper which means literally nothing legally
@@baqcasanke No they can't plant (nor cut) trees, it's protected area they own. They say that they put that money actual charity that plant trees, but if they lie about land ownership and titles... So there reads gullible in your ceiling.
A bit late to the party, but I feel like an orbiting nautical drone could be a cool idea for a video if your gonna be taking this boating path. Either or sea based, just does rings around your boat with sensors or cameras on it so you can see whats around you earlier, scan the ocean floor or what fish there are, even just a weather station to know if a storms coming. I don't know why, but I just love the idea of having a personal drone that orbits you and at sea seems like one of the only places you wouldn't run into many obstacles
I actually had an idea like this (of which I have many goofy passing fleeting ideas) I usually write them down in case I actually have a good one. I was thinking of something like a jet ski sized "bay station" that could float in the water containing large battery storage/solar panels to keep them charged up and having power delivered by a cord to the "drone"
I was thinking of some sort of underwater mapping or something when the idea occurred to me. I suppose I was thinking that you could have more up time on the drone for doing "goofy drone surveying activities" LOL
Dood that little engine under the bow is cool! I’ve only seen those on large ships, but that’s got to be really useful while docking and loading.
Dude you’ve done an exceptional job fixing that lil boat up proper … nice work 👍🏻
If you can take the glass out of the portholes and clean them again you can have them coated with a powder coating called Everclear. I think individuals can buy it. It is what Delta fauces uses on all their brass faucets.
titanic submersible lookin controls right there
Absolutely beautiful boat! Just subbed to your channel, would love to see more of this thing!
Awesome work and so cool to see what can be done with RC
Lord Peter, you have to be kidding! I just sold my R-21!
These are so great! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
These things must be 100% efficient, because they burn, like, no fuel.
The only downside was finding that after getting married, we needed a bigger boat.
Thanks for all the great content. See you on the water!
“You're gonna need a bigger boat”, sharkfishing and marriage apply 🙂

Love that little trawler perfect size to have a lot of fun on. I live on a 39ft sailboat hit me up if you want to try sailing life. Also, the company I work for does some underwater ROV stuff if you ever want to try your DIY ROV in 200ft water.

Good work on making that boat a beaut! Congrats on becoming a captain! May the seas be good to you!
Put a clear coat of paint or lacquer over the freshly polished brass to keep it shiny. Also, U should have a symbol at the waterline indicating a bow thruster, stops people swimming up and getting sucked in.
Dude, you and your dad working together is what I want for me and my kids. You absolutely love to see it.
established titles? come on man
Great work on this Peter!
Dang nice new ride !!!❤🎉 congrats!!
It looks like a Benchy, I can understand why you fell in love with it.
Ah, a quite good looking boat! A little smaller than mine but then I sometimes spend days or even a week on mine so I need the extra space for sleeping, cooking and whatnot. Oh and you might want to vet the sponsor of this video a bit further.
I've got a Nanni Kubota on mine but my brother has a Yanmar on his, both have great reputations. Interesting additions with the sensors, might copy some of those on mine though it being still under 1000h I'm not overly worried about parts failing.
I love the brass hardware. Have you ever been on board an older submarine? All the fittings are polished brass and stainless, it's so cool.
Very impressed with that hardtop Bimini top, looks factory
Established titles is allegedly owned by the same shell as Deal Dash. It's a shady scam. Under Scottish law you can't bu/sell souvenir lots, nor does owning land get you a title. There is also absolutely no evidence a single tree has been planted. Get a new sponsor Peter, they're bad news.
Uh oh
Neat project! You have great ideas, Peter. I can see you accomplishing just about anything you want to. Sail around the world? Fly into space? You could do it.
For the motor gears getting hot, I bet you could design and fabricate an "oil-cooled gear box" out of aluminum or plastic (similar to the synthetic oil lubrication display with the small gears turning in the plexiglass box on the auto parts store counter). With your skill, it would be done in just one afternoon.
Great work! Take care. Aloha!
Id hit the brass with some spray lacquer after polishing, should keep the finish lookin nice. Wicked impressive as always!
just some points for advise.
Over here you can use dyed diesel for boats, red diesel I believe it's called elsewhere. Makes it even cheaper to run!
Also good quality autopilot that I'm sure you can rig up without big $$$, I'm into the ray marine brand.
And last is to have lots of good quality shielded rope of various thickness.
The rest is just a matter of how things develop, for example since you are already handy with fibreglass some side pods for stability and maybe a tiny little bit of speed if the engine and propeller pitch allow for it.
That said boating is freedom and I'm the most free when I'm not in a hurry haha.
I have two boats, bigger one 20kn+ and then another pocket rocket 40kn+ for my thrills.
Established Titles is a scam. theres plenty of info on it. you should do some research on brands before blasting them in the face of your young audience
So are most of subscription boxes, gambling sites pretending to be charities, crappy mobile games, fake "Japanese" knives (same parent comp. as Est. Titles lol ) and so on. Wallets and backup batteries that can be purchased from China 1/10 of the price. So how many good sponsors there are?
@@HVM_fi at least you get the product you purchase with most sponsors, this is a legit scam that is not giving you the actual thing you're buying
Established titles is a scam my friend. Under title 12 you can not sell or own souvineer plots of land. Further more owning land in Scotland does not grant you the the right to become a lord or lady. Last thing is they do not plant trees they only give a small portion of the profits to organizations that do plant trees. It's a total scam. Give your money directly to the charity that plants trees if you want to help forestation. I know you probably are unaware of the truth but hopefully you don't sponsor them again.
They pay like 15 grand for a single ad. I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t take it
You did an amazing job, what a cool little boat
I think a neat project could be a trash collector of some kind, it may be possible to get subsidies for that kinda stuff which would allow for super large builds in that vein. Stuff like packing trash to floating barges with GPS navigation to collection points?
Respect for the sponsor $$ but look into them more, they’re a scam :/
