    100% houseboat tour.
    For a young fisherman, you do a hell of a great job getting it done.
    Absolutely No judgment in using scrap or free material to build your dream... adds character.
    I'm not a commercial anything, but I do use reclaimed lumber, scrap steel, reclaimed bolts, and screws to put projects together. Yeah, they may not last as long as brand new.. but it works... and that's what matters.
    Always enjoy your videos.. keep up the great work

    Somebody with Eastern Shore connections here. Tilghman Island. Also for 12 years I had the only Chesapeake work boat in Bermuda. Yes, the Triangle Bermuda. It was nothing fancy. An Evans 32, cut from the 34 mold. Never fished a day in it's life. Indoor/outdoor carpet on cockpit deck. Maybe the only work boat with a transom door and a swim platform. Power was also old school diesel. A Perkins 6-354, 240hp. Basically what you would find in an old London Bus. Huge engine for the hp and dirt simple.
    It was also my work boat but it hauled people. It was used for charter sightseeing and snorkelling trips. The cockpit room that makes for a good crab boat also makes it a great people hauler. Shallow draft is perfect for getting over reefs and into shallow bays with beaches.
    If I was ever to get another boat for private use it would be a Chesapeake work boat, about 30', diesel with a medium length cabin for the occasional overnight.

    15:16 🤔 If you want to avoid winterizing you get a way to run a block heater that goes in one of the middle freeze plugs and you need a small electric pump to push water through the system with your shore power. Something like that is used in Alaska where they run every day. You are a wonderful Guy Brother and you clearly understand how to make decent conversions. Outstanding. I’m a Fisherman in the Tulalip Tribal Fishery. I Set Net in my Bay for Salmon and we 🦀 Crab and Shrimp and Fish everywhere around the Salish Sea. We have a ton of boats converted into Fishing boats from Bayliners and Glassply to commercial aluminum boats. We have a few crab boats it’s a miracle they make it back every time 😅 but we help them out for safety for sure.😏 God Bless you. God Bless the Fishermen ❤🖖🏼🇺🇸

You make everything looks at ease even it seems difficult at times. This incredible working ethic doesn’t happen by fluke. Perhaps, you could introduce your folks in one of your segment. I would love to thank you them for raising a wonderful young man. Be safe out there… big hugs 🤗

    • @chiphill4856
      @chiphill4856 Рік тому

      Caterpillar built much of its business on the 3208. It was their workhouse, used in everything from tractors, boats, trucks, heavy equipment and more. It was offered in a wide variety of hp depending on intake. There were hundreds (thousands?) of 31 Bertrams with 3208's. Easy to work on and diagnose, overbuilt block and heads, easy to rebuild. They were unique because they were really nothing special, but all in, a solid performer.

    The Chesapeake Deadrise will always be my favorite boat. Worked with Joey down at Sinepuxent Boatworks building these boats for commercial purposes and built one for recreational use for fishing and pleasure boating, and it by far exceeds anything else, for me anyway. But that’s just bcuz I love the old school and the historic aspect of the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle. The Chesapeake waterman lifestyle is something that has always resonated with me. From crabbing to fishing to waterfowl hunting. I’ll take the old school over anything new school and modern.
