"Box of Detroitus" you made me laugh out loud... again. The wife thinks I'm nuts.
Yeah. That one made me laugh too. Very witty.
I also lolled at that
Scott Crosby would get a laugh out of that as well
If your wife a friend of Detroitus ?
12:57 Someone's received their UA-cam 100K Silver Creator Award... Sneaky sneaky! Congratulations my friend!
"It will either go well or it will be funny!" Made my day!!😄
Kefa Irish lol
I am SO stealing that line!
Nothing like being all alone on your boat and polishing your helmet...👍😲...That's rad...
Subtle helmet polishing gag too 😁
This milestone made me realise... you are so close to getting this thing done and the knock on effect is ... not many restoration videos left. Stu, you're gunna have to buy a new wreck.
There's always a new boat to fix up. Maybe Southerly next. ;)
Lassoing the piling was outstanding, and all your work.
Thanks mate. I had to work as a deckhand for a year in order to get my skippers license. It's a bit like riding a bike.
It's nice that you and your mates there watch out for each other.
Time for more detail work. Awesome! Let 'er rip, Stu, can't wait for the final touches before she's underway. Thanks for this continuing journey.
Thanks mate. Not too long now!
You have come a long way thank you for taking us with along.
Three Cheers for Ricks boat savor....... Good job Mate..... Those gantry's will come in handy someday... mark my word... have used mine like yours crazy as it is, and still have hauled my motor twice and replaced every mount... and my PCC is forty six feet, with an atomic four.
Yes, even if i just save it for further work on this engine it will probably be worth it.
Hi there, Herman here from South-Africa. Just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos and content. I’m busy with my 34ft steel sailboat and learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for inspiring me👍
Best of luck!
Good to see the engine back on the boat big progress stu
Some times not bad to see loved visitors
I hope that rain helps put all the fires out for you all out there. Nice job with the engine. Nice to see it back in the boat again.
thanks Stu , i'm watching this rather than the news , at least watching your channel gives me a smile rather than the depressing world on tv . death by misadventure was a beauty !! lol
ROSS private not cnn or msnbc abc cbs nbc or any msm.
“just Stu it”. LOL!
However in light of SV/Seeker Doug's accident, not as easy to take lightly at the moment.
@@gwpsr58 If it actually happened! No video of the Ambo and no video of the "blood all over" wtf
"safety", "not my strong point".....flips 20 pages......."i'll just have to work it out". Love ya mate
A box of " Detroitus ". I love it!!
Yes, at 5:23. Beautiful. In most puns it seems like one of the meanings is just dumb. Here your pun-word, detroitritus welded two words together and they both make sense: Detroit (Diesel) + detritus (extra stuff not needed.) Funny as hell. Keep up the good pun-fun.
"But really, how hard can it be."
Where have I heard that before?
Great to see it's in. Good job.
A Top Gear boating special!
"Ahhh maintenance, That's not really my strong point either, Is it?" I'm in tears laughing!
nice that the rain finally got you guys the downunder, and the diesel looks great!
On the mooring the best of all worlds...... and your condition, is beautiful.... love your home, chickens, and hate visitors too.
I'm glad to see some people still take care of each other. Someone else would probably step back and wait to see how long before the boat sinks, you went out of your way to keep it afloat. 👏
That is one of the nice things about the island. We all know each other and who owns each boat so they all belong to the family if you know what I mean. :)
Oh man, i wish i could give a hand with all that solo lifting. Very happy to see the engine back to its baby. Now I see it, it looks huge in the ER. Cheers!
It does fill the space, for sure.
Fine job there Stu!!!! That big Detroit fills that hole man. The hoist is very smart engineering!!! Won’t be long now!!!!
When you were welding the plates on the legs of the crane if you hadn't had enough room for the bolts you could have rotated the plates 45 degrees. Just something for future reference. Glad to see the progress! Stay safe that engine is heavy and working by yourself has its risks. But then again you are Danger, I mean Dangar Stu!
If I rotated the upright the welding of the bottom foot would get awkward, but not impossible with an intermediate plate I guess.
Looks good to see it back at home !
Brilliant throw with the docking ropes! Impressive!
That's what a shady past as a deckhand does for you. I'll do a short video on rope throwing soon.
dont worry about the negatives...its coming together...good work
You have the right attitude... "it'l all go well, or it'l be funny". Love your channel.
Nice to see the Detroit sitting in the boat. That's got to feel good.
It sure does!
Once it's all done and finished it would be nice to see a collage of before and after so we can appreciate just how far the trawler has come.
I've been thinking about doing that. I'll need to grab the footage off UA-cam though as I delete each video off my laptop after I upload it.
@@DangarMarine "I delete each video off my laptop after I upload it." Good god man! Don't do that. Ginormous portable hard drives are cheap!
@@portfoliofotoz LinusTechTips has joined the chat...
Very pleasing to watch the lump drop in. Lovely update. Many thanks.
Hey Stuey looking great mate. Good to see the Detroit back where it belongs, won’t be long now till you’ll be feeling good he power ay and then to new adventures! Say hello to the chucks from me👍🏴
Thanks Martin. :)
Good progress Stu! And good idea to make the girder hoist.
Great to see you are getting to the end of the project. Had a TopHat 25 MkIII . . . a stable as a rock to sail and just as fast. Nice little boat!
I really like the Top Hat so far. Only been out once but looking forward to spending more time in it.
one boat , one man and a hell of a lot of work ,,,you have succeeded doing the next to impossible
Thanks mate, it's certainly been a challenge!
There is no Kill like Overkill, another great one! Thanks Stu.
Great video, thanks again,
I suggest the easiest way to get the gantry assembled is to connect the beam to the post on one side while still on the ground the tilt it up and slit in the second post under the free end of the beam. cheers
That old sailboat is really a beauty in the rough! Wish we could see it as it was when first launched!
Very nice home made gantry-crane. I'm impressed. That will come in handy in the future I'm sure.
Thanks Seth.
“Listening to the Chief and Southerly pump out at the same time really makes me need to pee.” LOL
Its great to see that you are so close to getting the engine up and running again...
She's getting there Stu cheers.
Hi Stu,
What a relief to se the Detroit back where it belongs :-)
Hope you soon will be able to due adventure trips away from your mooring, keep the spirit intact :-)
SR Martin
Not long now Martin!
I am glad to see you got the engine in your boat, I don't think most folk understand how much time and work is involved with a project that big. Congrats! I am also excited to see that you are working with Project Brupeg... I am a big fan of both channels and boating enthusiast. Good work! Scott
Thanks Scott. :)
Now get that thing running, I am getting anxious to see it go! I know you are....
well done stu finally on your way and she looks well engine then deck then all done off on the adventure
Getting there!
Great to see Man ! More Coldies needed now ! So good to see yall helping others on your way . Most folks would just sit back and laugh as that persons boat sank these days . At least around here . Great video and thanks for bringing us along !
Thanks mate. :)
lookin good stu. better watching your video than shoveling snow. i may have to binge watch till the snow melts lol
I hope the snow stays a while then!
There are quite a few mutations of king parrots. So you can get a very rare blue mutation and a few other types too. They are breeding well and soon we will be seeing amazing colours in these birds. Great to see you're progressing with your boat too. Looking forward to your next video. Always a thumbs up.
I was waiting for this all weekend! You are far more patient than I could be at this stage. I would be pulling all nighters at this point. At least until it was installed and started.
Having not done this before I fear that if I rush it I will just get it wrong. Already starting to change my plans for when I get back.
Can't wait to see you dial in that coupling!
Great progress Stu
Love the Full Spectrum Safety System.
Glad to see you guys getting rain. Love the vids Stu.
Thanks Tim.
"Purse Pants".. love it :)
I am always amazed when people drop engines in or adjust them in cars or boats without a balance beam if it can be fitted. The lift center is on a screw and hand crank so the engine can be controlled and tilted as needed dynamically rather than a three point static pick. Especially so as they are only about fifty dollars. Mating an engine to a transmission becomes enjoyable as opposed to frustrating. Same with installing or removing an engine out an engine room. Take care. Doug
There was no point in positioning it perfectly now as there is so much work to do yet. Also, those cheap load levelers (of which I have three) can't take a 1000kgs.
@@DangarMarine I was thinking of when you needed to tip it to drop it in. They come in varying load capabilities and prices. Mine was pretty cheap thirty years ago and is still going strong. Many many gas engines many with reduction gears several diesels as well not to mention other numerous other items. I forget the rating but it is a ton and a half if I remember correctly. Has a heavy frame to hold the acme screw. Never had any problems or concerns with it. Done a pile of tight quarter boatwork with it some had to come out from under the deckhouse and up at the same time. Took some rigging but each job had its own challenges. Take care. Doug
All good things come to those who wait. Coming along nicely. 👌
Things going great Stu... Enjoying the journey with you. :)
Thanks mate. :)
Well done Stu. must be a happy chappy now!
Good to see the Detroit back in the boat again Stu....Nice one mate :-)
Thanks Russ!
Congrats on getting the Detroit back in. Sure feels good getting a rebuilt engine back into any project.
The engine is looking beautiful.
Finally, I've been looking forward to this one
Great video mate can't believe people put a thumbs down!
Cant wait to see it running under its own steam
LMAO...
Did you forget that you had a crane on the boat?
Your "WELCOME" sign ...not welcome..go away..love it
Nicely the engine is on board. It completes a bit. Congratulations on this step, wel done.
Hooray, I got bored with exploding rockets, finally a video about Detroitus and boats! :) So cool to have the engine back on board, congratulations!
When you were positioning the blue steel bits I was shouting at UA-cam for you to rotate them to sit diamond-like between the bore holes. But you are far more skilled and so you managed in the traditional way. ;)
glad to see it back in the boat ,, cant wait till start up day
another good vid
and good to see your clock working
Steve
UK
Always like the chicken updates.
Nice save of Southerly, a lovely old boat ;-)
It is a nice looking old boat. It would be a great project.
@@DangarMarine ha ha yeah, sadly wrong country and already have BOAT projects lol
Great job on that installation looks like it's going to be sweet. The little Crane is perfect for what you're doing. It sure gets crowded in there with the engine install now. It's great to see it's getting a little cooler there. And wetter. Have a great time with Damien and Jess. He's a great guy to work with. Talking from experience. All the best from Canada.
Thanks mate. Looking forward to picking Damien's brain about aligning the engine.
@@DangarMarine get you a couple magnet base dial indicators and chase it around my man, that's all there it to it!!
You would be surprised what you can move with a crow bar timber blocks and pipe.Cheers Adam
It looks absolutely stunning in the bay.your getting awfully close my friend.its been a pleasure watching you refit this boat.and do it proper! She will last you a lifetime if you dont sell her
Thanks mate, definitely planning to keep her!
Mate massive effort! The boat she's almost whole again :) As always can't wait for the next video.
Thanks Chris. :)
Hi Stu, Great seeing it in the boat. Love the engine hoist. Good job!
nice to see you have managed to get the motor in some times you are a scary man Stu another job done no one got hert counting youre blessings fingers and tows
Hey Stu, are you gonna tame one of those parrots and train it to perch on your shoulder? 🦜 Arrrrrr... 🏴☠️
Only if he wants parrot poop down his back.
Must get a pet parrot!
+1 vote for this idea but it would need to be combined with a massive steering wheel on the stern attached to the auxiliary rudder control
Damn tht must feel good to get that thing in. I was thinking you'd call this the Danger Stu episode. LOL. Welding with bare feet, teetering the steel on a rocky boat. Glad it didn't become a documentary on visits to the emergency room. Glad for the rain you Aussies are getting. The poor wildlife need the break as do all the firefighters.
Thanks mate, very glad for the rain too.
Great video, so excited! I have to say one thing, please forgive me. If those motor mounts don't have legitimate rubber vibration isolation, it WILL shake the crap out of your boat on a micro scale, seriously weakened welds will break, nuts and bolts will randomly back out, electrics will fail, solder points will break, or worse you won't know, etc. There is a reason why motor mounts exist in the way they do. It's not just so your brains don't get rattling, it's a safety issue, resonate frequently is a real thing you know. Be careful, just install rubber or poly mounts that are hot swappable and drop new ones in every decade or so. So not worth chasing electrical demons and random things failing. Good luck and I'm super impressed with your progress lately, your really pushing for it, we are all so excited for you!
The new ones do, yes.
So happy to hear that it’s installed. A momentous occasion for sure!
Been waiting for this video for a long time. Now I can’t wait to see it running under power.
Can't wait for the first cruise either!
Finally the Detroit is back home! The alignment doesn' look off by much. Can't wait for the start-up. Thank god for the rain, huh? How long do ya figure til start up and a trial run? She's looking good! You must be relieved & proud she's almost ready. Thank you for another great video and we'll see ya in the next one.
Thanks Vin. I think a couple of weeks after I get back until it is up and running (which of course means a couple of months. ;) )
When you mentioned Brooklyn I never knew there was a place in Australia that shared the name of my home town. So I Googled it. And BAM! There was Dangar Island too!
The island opposite Brooklyn is Long Island which all stems back to the rail bridge being built by Union Bridge Company of New York.
The gantry brought back memories of rigging engines on my old boat which was also in the water.
A large tug boat and barge passed by just as I had one engine hanging from the hoist. My back was never the same after hanging onto the swinging engine!
Not really fond of the idea of using the polyethylene board as a shim for the engine mounts. I think you will have a continual problem keeping your shaft alignment correct. Using steel plate would be much better for shims. Slip them in place and tack weld to the engine bed. That way the only movement is in the mounts themselves.
It was nice to see you stop and help out a fellow boat owner. That was one of the things I loved about living aboard. We looked after each other’s boats. It is a good community.
I may yet go to steel for the engine mounts, and you've got me thinking that I could also use that same steel to double as the extension for the mount that is no outboard of the rail. My biggest fear with moving the engine is that a big boat coming past at just the wrong moment.
Awesome as usual Stu.thanks so much and what an extra treat as I have never seen a yellow pigeon before.
I'm glad yall are getting some rain!
keep the shop lighting as is.
film noir is all the rage .
great video as usual.
john
I should film those sections in black and white. :)
Clever work with the gantry.
Swish episode Stu! We'll catch you up at Dame and Jess' on the weekend!
Love the shirt Stu🤣
"Purse pants." I love it! If you don't mind, I'm gonna use it-first chance I get lol 😅
Great to see it raining.
so excited to see the Engine back! I was expecting another party of people to show up and everyone just stand around drinking beer and looking down for hours and hours!
We did go to the pub before towing it back to the mooring. ;)
I have always called you a 'Purse Pants Man' behind you back. Going well Stu
Thanks Steve, I knew I could count on you. :)
On the I beam trolley. Weld a nut on the top of the side plates leaning inward just slightly to allow a piece of all thread to be tightened against the bottom of the upper I beam flange. A scrap of tube and a scrap of flat plate welded up with a chunk of that plastic as a brake shoe. The down angle allows you to snug the brake from the engine room easily
Great to see your going to help Damien & Jess.
Congratulations to you Stu! Engine in!
P.S. I will send a pair of steel tip boots from the Caribbean for you! I still want to enjoy your videos without disruption of foot injuries!
I empathize with my brother firefighters fighting those bush/forest fires!
Thanks mate. I already have a nice set of steel tipped boots, just don't want to get them scratched. :)
This boat project has been sweet, and the chickens are too damn funny.
Damn, that's a great looking engine!
“Speaking of bikinis that reminds me of another job I have to do”
