Launching Homemade Barrel Boat

  • We launched the Hunkerberry Finn for the first time with all the modifications this year to see how well it would float. The boat has 11 55 gallon barrels attached to the bottom for floatation and the top has a small cabin built out of .100 aluminum and whatever parts we could scavenge. We took this boat out on a windy day with just a 55 lb thrust trolling motor. Lets see how it worked!

      I doubt anyone who is on this channel would really say anything mean and would respect Steve's wife. And for the ones who do say something ain't even worth the time to worry about what they say . Fuck em
      They have serious issues with themselves and projecting it on others ain't no sense worry about them.

  • @tlyonstlyons
    @tlyonstlyons 3 роки тому +60

    Love the videos; love the boat; love the adventure. That is a narrow waterline, tall boat that rides high on the barrels and will have lots of weight up high once the solar panels are in. PLEASE CHECK THE STABILITY. Not the tippiness but ultimate stability: whether it will flip. If it were me, I would consider an outboard barrel on each side to widen the waterline beam; you could even mount them a couple inches above the water so they don't drag underway but would prevent a flip.
    Good luck!

    • @maineiacts
      @maineiacts 3 роки тому +3

      @Timotby Lyons. Exactly!!! I was thinking something along the lines of catamaran style barrels, maybe smaller? But definitely a emergency Life Boat with a extra motor,came oars and PFDS! I think the back/ transom sits too low..I personally would not feel safe in that tub lol! Sorry, but I fear for their safety. I love that these guys created this, but modifying seems more important before a maiden test of two weeks.. Weather, being weather as in Winds....err..😬😬😬 I want needed about putting a short keel under that sucker but maybe it would be in the way, and guess the barrels might serve..I'm just a silly gal, but I enjoy watching building projects and how they work...I was once a machinist,, and I love the Water...kayak for now..( sit in kind mire stable)
      Thanks for validating a concern!🚣⛵🛳👍🍺🍺🙋

    • @michaelmartin684
      @michaelmartin684 3 роки тому +5

      Yeah, that center of balance looks awfully high. It'll be great on flat water but any kind of real waves would probably flip her right over. I second the suggestion about adding some outriggers, although that might make her too wife to trailer easily. Just be careful, Steve!

      True, it makes us not compare with millionaires but be happy and content with what we have and how we can make the most out of an ordinary life.. which indeed becomes an extra ordinary experience.. I am never the one to compare with riches but then after facing betrayals we go into competitive mode which could lead to unhealthy lifestyle and we miss to enjoy along our journey..

    Huge CONGRATS to y'all fine folks for the major accomplishment (it would be major to me anyways lol) and for putting one great big notch in the belt of improvements of the Hunker Bunker Barge! She looks good to me, Steve!

I also made the prediction before the end of the video that you'd need a beefier motor for that boat. I'm sure you and your team will tweak it. I am looking forward to future videos about this. Thank you for all your content!!

    Having had one of those trolling motors many years ago, I was certain it would not be enough to push against the wind or go upstream. I'd like to see another row of barrows on either side. Maybe a few high powered electric motors to push the boat? Nowadays you might be able to find some from recked electric cars.

    I recommend adding 2-3 barrels in the center it should help move it better. Because you won't be pushing or be in the water as much. Plus will help with added gear for the trip.

    • @SaucedTech
      @SaucedTech 3 роки тому

      If you look at pictures he posted on FB there is at least one in the front center. Also the barrels aren't even 50% submerged. Each of those barrels has a 450lb floating capacity. They are already way overkill, any more would just be for a dick measuring contest.
