"Trickin Pickin" preformed by Doug Waterman
I can't help but wonder what the benefit of paul standing on the roof was. Sure made for some exciting content
standing on the deck could alter the view and estimate of certain angles. We got good angles because the camera was where others weren't standing.
They are guiding slack to make the pull level
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake, he's long, seven miles.

Ride it big boy!!! Yeehaa
He was supervising 👍
Memory wall is beautiful, tragic we lost those wonderful people, thank you for remembering them.
Bilge Rat checking in, all the way from Trinidad and Tobago down in the Caribbean... Doug, well done...you have inspired many, your hard work and persistence is speaking volumes, to ALLLL the Patreons, Supporters, workers.. every single person who worked on this boat. well done, well done.
Thank you for the memorial of those souls on your boat. Great people with a great dream, looking on in pride!
It's a shame his life was stolen by that thing in commifornia... God rest his soul.
According to a brief bit of google fu, it appears that Zach Swearingen passed due to a motorcycle accident. Just awful all around. R.I.P. 😥
wow great neighbors and a beautiful family. god bless.
i am so happy yesterday i got to see Leo in his new place and it got to me in a good way, and then today Doug pulls off the pilot house and i got choked up again. congrats to Doug and everyone that helped or even just got to watch in person.
That last bolt was like the ground strap on thousands of engines being pulled out.
The tensile strength of a 1/2 bolt is about that much.
Lmao!
I wonder how much a whole bolt would be 😉
@@Gottenhimfella This is 'Murica. We use imperial here. That bolt would be 0.5 inches, not 0.5 millimeters.
@@SoCalTrooper you got me there lol
@@WaterfrontJustin all in good fun
Congratulations Doug on achieving and orchestrating this mammoth task, hope to see in New Zealand one day.
I started watching this boat build when you were pouring lead into the keels. I have watched it for well over 2 years.
I am amazed that it is finally time to head for the Port of Catoosa! Great job Doug and everybody who helped out!
Congratulations and God bless!
Congratulations Doug, a huge milestone. Almost there!
You need wire with tensioner in order to secure the radar mast caused by propellerrpm to speed or depth clearance vibration.And the main mast should be screwed to the base .With heavy wind and pitching or rolling of the boat no mast is heavy enough to stay in the position only by cravity from Greece with love
Thank you Doug for the plaque honoring those who are not able to see the boat finally finished. Zach Swearingen was my best friend and he passed far too soon. After informing him about this project I was over the moon with excitement that he was able to make it to Tulsa and help on this amazing journey you started. I was never able to help with the boat, but feel so much gratitude that you have stamped Zach's name onto the vessel as a memorial. Thank you so so much for that plaque and what you have accomplished. I wish Zach was still here to see it.
Well said, do it, live well today, do it anyway. This has been an epic journey to follow. Thank you for the quality content.
What an exciting video and time. The part where everyone was helping with folding the American flag was something else, a very proud moment. Loved the innocence of the young neighbor boy looking into the eye of the camera, just had to smile.
So looking forward to the launching.
Yes it was
The balls on the guy on the roof.
I work in maintenance and I have never seen someone ride a load because you die if the load drops. The winch sounded at capacity too based on the squealing when winching down, glad there was no damage to people or property.
Im trying to figure out why he was up there. Maybe just stayed up there after hooking up the rigging? Ive demaned quite a bit of old machinery and I like to get a nice vantage point away from the load because there's always that oddball part that'll get stuck and you won't see it binding untill it suddenly isn't lol
@@boredvideos1 Other people say he was taking up slack and adjusting to level the load but generally you don't go a few feet up to see if it is level, and the kid running the crane seemed to not understand that slow and safe is better than fast.
Is what it is.
Going to be a sight to see going down the road. Id always imagined over the years of watching this being built coming over and seeing the launch was gutted when i seen the date with all the borders being locked down over the world coming over from Auss is practically impossible at the moment. This project has meant a lot to me over the years getting me out and doing what i never thought i could, Now my saying is theres no such thing as failure youre just not trying hard enough. 3 businesses later im where i want to be in life Thanks to this giving me the courage to say screw it its only money you only live once.
I am so excited for you Doug and everyone who has helped this project. I have been watching since before the submarine days lol. What a great boat, crew, and dream!
Please ..i would like to thank you...for giving back the motivation to get on with living life to the best i can..All i can say from my heart is God bless all who sail on SV Seeker and everyone who has worked and given to make a dream come true...Amen
Great job, congratulations on a job well done! Can't wait to see SV Seeker's adventures on the high seas!
Congrats Doug, have been watching for 4yrs now from Ghana. Wish I was there to see the boat launch. Keep the videos coming. Wanna watch all day
Barts life is sure gonna change. Hope he can handle the boredom!
I am sure there is going to be plenty for him to do! :-)
After all these years I don't understand how this channel hasn't got more subs, outstanding work as usual,
You're exactly right about living life now.
wow, such a nice view on these last events actions on the Seeker.....everyone is so keen on doing their best and fulfilling the tasks at hand ...what a way to go Doug...... hope for a smooth ride to the port....all the best comming times..
Its getting closer and closer..Looking Great Guys. And Gals...Great Job everyone that helped build the Boat..Great Video. Thank You for sharing
Totally Awesome and amazing!! Cant wait to See SV-SEEKER making first contact to the water! Just wish i could be there for the big slash down and Party!! Congratulations Doug on your major Achievement.
I'm so incredibly gratified to see how far this project has come. Thank you for doing what you do, and congratulations on this important milestone. Looking forward to the 12th, and beyond :)
Iv been watching since you started to form the Hull, a massively achievement to all involved. Very much looking forward to seeing it sailing for the first time
Your positive outlook on life is contagious. Thank you for that.
What Adventure it has been! what an Adventure to come! thanks for bringing us along for it !
Well that was nerve wracking! And I was only watching. Amazing team work everyone. Seeker is on her way. Congratulations Doug. You have inspired all of us.
I’ve been watching you since the beginning. Is it so exciting to see you takeoff the pilot house finally. It’s something I’ve been waiting for for seven or eight years since you put it on. Congratulations wish I could come to the party
Exciting time. Very happy for you. Can't wait to see how she sits in the water.
I was looking back at the first video that I watched of you building Seeker, nearly 10 years ago, it was "The big sandblaster Pt1". Just like to say thanks for the all years of entertainment and inspiration. Also to wish you good luck with the launch.. If on your travels you are passing by the marina in Altea, south east Spain, give me a shout and I'll come buy you a beer and some tapas
I can't wait for next week I've been following you build this boat since you where filling the keels. I wish I could have come out there while it was dry but I'm just as excited to see it wet if not more. Good job Doug.
A pint of rum for everyone on that wall! I'm sorry for the loss. I'm glad they are part of seeker now.
One of the last big steps in the build project. So much closer to moving!
I’ve worked with a lot of crane operators in my time.
I have never seen anything like that before.
Is OSHA not in Tulsa? Good grief.
Lmao......... Tell me about it.
If osha were anywhere near this boat during its construction it wouldn’t have been built!
@@judd_s5643 thats correct. But since that is a private project not a company and no employees. (people helping out are not employees) they have no right to be there.
However that crane operator is a company/business and has employees . And if I was OSHA and I saw that video I would be sending an inspector to all his jobs for the next 3 months.
@@davebryant8050 yes I know that is what I said in the second paragraph of my point.
@@Android-ng1wn I hear ya. But he is still using company's equipment. OSHA would have authority to shut that down.
You are also missing the point here. What that crane operator was doing was supper dangerous. We all saw the video. You understand how close he was to falling off (dieing or severely hunting himself). Plus did you see how much the boat shook?
Does Doug need to add another plaque to the boat wall.
Come on, everyone here knows that crane guy f'd up and got lucky.
At the beginning of the video I thought...it's going to be hard to remember where all those bolts attaching the wheelhouse are, I bet. Glad Paul didn't get launched into orbit and nobody got hurt. Maybe don't use grade 8 bolts when you're doing a temporary fitment next time lol
Holy sh*t, so excited for you Doug, stuck in the UK otherwise would have loved to see the whole thing!
This is beyond exciting. I have watched along for more years than I can recall and to finally see the build wind down and the move start is awesome!
It's just amazing how everything you needed you built by hand, from a boat to the trailers to haul the boat. Its gonna be an awesome day to see SVSeeker on the water!!! So happy for you and everyone involved!!
It's been a long two years, but well worth every minute. Fair winds and following seas SV Seeker!
Thank you for respecting our flag Sir! Glad some of us can remember what that flag of ours stands for! Good blessings on your travels! You did a great job!
what's that?
Holy shit!! Nothing like a bit of drama on lift day. Sure made it exciting!! 😬😬😱 Amazing achievement 🙌
exciting ,i love it when you know your almost there
Have been watching since u started at the bottom, congratulations for making ur dream come true, and Good Luck on Friday's safe journey, greeting from Bournemouth, UK.
Congrats! I remember seeing you and your wife building this years ago. Congrats again
In the beginning I was thinking, "What if they forget a bolt? They'll see it and stop I guess."
Good luck everyone because I’ve followed the boat build right from the start, it’s epic 👏
My heart skipped a beat when that boat shook
Waiting for the episode that says, "writing the Service Manuel"
LOL
If I remember correctly, this whole video series is the service manual.
A little excitement! Glad to see your dream coming to reality!
I cannt wait to see it sailing! God bless
Very exiting Doug ! Ha ha 2 old fogies ! That’s us ! 👍🏻
0:34 I can remember when I first heard the Cicadas. I was in 3rd grade...1953. I can always get back there doing the base 17 math.
You really are an inspiration to us all , my wish for you is let the wind be at your back and the sun on be your shoulders. L.A Rob
Really wish we could be there to watch Seeker move but being in England makes it very difficult.
I bet your little bit nervous bit excited at the prospect of 10 years work moving to water at last.
Thinking of you all and safe journeys.
I'm gonna miss these building videos
Getn so close!!! OMG!!! Whole new chapter coming very soon
Never saw your channel but holy cow it's great !
Never stand under a lift.
Never touch a lift by hand (always use a line).
Always wear a hard hat, and
NEVER RIDE THE LIFT.
This is awesome Doug!!!
Life is short, sometimes brutal.
Get out there and live it.
Live it well, live it today.
But do what's inside you.
The music, the art, the putting your arm around a friend.
Whatever your talent is; Building a boat, building a plane...
GET OUT THERE!
DO IT, LIVE WELL TODAY!
Forget the fear, you can come up with fear all the time, its easy to do.
People will assist you with that every moment of the day.
Do it anyway.
Doug Jackson 2021
Loved the long splice at the end
I remember the nosak tree removal tv show in the early morning hours in tulsa lol
Nice to see the lugs Evan and I (mostly Evan) welded can hold up to the shear strength of a bolt :)
Your doing it !!!!!!
I predict those school bus windows are going to get blown the F out on the high seas
They stay in place at highway speeds and I've seen them turn glancing gravel hits ... we'll see.
Doug, I missed the Deck Crane on the way to the Port. Maybe see it later?
I seen this boat going down the road today
I follow you from the biggining…..wonderfull adventure….
Know all about secadas spent the first half of my life in Dallas Texas and the last half so far Jacksonville fl. There everywhere.
If you have my luck , when you put the pilot house back on you'll have one extra screw leftover , managed to fix a chopsaw with out any left over so maybe the tides are changing
Benn watching this process of love for several years and to see this time arrive is incredibly exiting and a bit emotional!
Fricken awesome
Very cool I only wish I could be there to watch you put her back together and watch her float in the ocean great job building this dream of yours
Congrats Doug another tricky step successfully completed
That's it Doug get out there and just do it.👍🍻🍀🇦🇺
The new ending to the video's is nice touch 👌🏽
Why do I love this adventure, building something ( the Boat ) but the not-so-subtle advice on how to live well. Your a god send. Just saying RC
Can’t believe it's actually happening after all these years.
Nice job on that boat!!!
So excited for you, I can see the excitement building in your face Doug! I'm just sorry I can't be there. I will miss the build videos, but I'm sure any journey or maintenance videos you do will keep me sated until I can pay a visit. You ( and everyone who's volunteered) have all done amazing things.
That pilot house looks like a school bus!
Wow.. I can't believe it has come to a end. Well this portion of your story. I subscribed to your channel Doug back when you were explaining using the old bus windows on the pilot house. Seems like last week. Congrats Doug. What an amazing accomplishment. Also on a side note. Lmao. That lady who was rigging and ontop of the pilot house talked a good game. But should HAVE NEVER been onto of what is being lifted. OSHA would have got wind burn on their hand writing tickets so fast. Lmao
Wish I could be there in person for all the rest of what's going to be happening in the near future.
Wow! It's really getting to be that time!
Thats a retired guys hardhat 4 sure. Haha still nice to see big equipment moving the boat house. Excited to see the launch. To bad i cant make the 4hr drive due to work hrs.
Wish I could watch yall set off I lived in Siloam springs my hole life butt live in Texas now
Really cool you guys are getting down to the brass monkey in getting it closer to the big day, that's going to be amazing.
Man I love crane work I stated my apprenticeship at 18 for a union company W.W.GAY Mechanical have been a crane operator for over thirty years love it as much today as I did whe. I started I have the coolest job in the world to me.
I keep thinking back to sheet metal delivery day. Can’t believe it’s going to be in the water soon
That crane driver, Tracy, is a bloody good operator. Outstanding job.
Almost!
Busy day are coming, good luck from Belgium 😉
Project on front burner now, way to go Doug!
Nice! A community effort.
