I note that you are starting to consider the installation of the engine mounts. I came across this channel that might provide some thoughts especially in regard to procedure and the actual vibration mount placement. This will impact on the height of the iroko base mounts. The vlog is disjointed but persevere you may learn a trick or two. ruclips.net/video/Xj4c9Yj8uoE/видео.html

Oroco is a great wood to use. Really hard and super rot resistant. Takes adhesives and epoxies well.

Mucho ánimo con el frío!

Following You two from Colorado Springs Colorado.

You guys rock…can’t wait to see you on the water!

Marina, you should invite your Mother down for a stay. You seem to get so much work done in a short period! The engine mounts should be extremely sound. Great episode.

And all for a good price!

Would you believe it? I’ve just seen how good and what quality the woodwork really is on the boat? those Louva cupboards oozes quality the mahogany looks stunning 😊

When you are gluing up the stacked boards, it can be hard to keep them aligned when you clamp them (they want to slide a little side-to-side). But if you sprinkle a little salt, coarse is better, it will provide a little grip between the boards. You could use something else like sand but that could dull your saw blades/drills. But salt won't cause a problem.

havent watched a video of you for ages - you almost didi it 👋 wow - respect !!!!! love from germany

Love the progress guys, always enjoy watching your posts and watch with enthusiasm and excitement every week. Much love from the Grimm’s residents ❤

Love your videos and holla to your mum. The engine bed guys just go with your gut instincts here as so many armchair shipwrights on RUclips 😂. Watching a video is totally different from actually being on site.

Might be the lighting, might have been peel ply but some of the edges of your tabbing and some other areas look textured like there was not enough resin applied. (Dry or sticking up, fray on ends) Engine should be fine on well attached wood blocks, and mounting brackets. Foam under the bulk heads, the only down side I see is if it gets wet (which is unlikely unless the fiberglass tabbing fails) because moisture will degrade the plywood edges. If there is enough force applied to the hull of the boat to deform it, you most likely will have bigger problems.

The hello mom was so beautiful. Along with how this boat is turning out.

It's amazing the amount of work that you have accomplished. Your Mum is more than likely very proud of you! We all are, for the both of you. Cheers

Hello Mum, 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 Your daughter rocks ✊✊✊ She’s doing a great job 👍👍👍👍 You should be proud of her as we all are 👌👌

Come on guys Subscribe, Hit the bell button 🔔, Give the big thumbs up 👍 and make a nice comment. The sooner we get this boat in the water and on it’s way the sooner we can stop watching these great videos 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍 Just kidding guys we will always watch your great videos 👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 You guys rock ✊✊✊

I enjoy watching your excellent work on what is truly a huge project. Your explanations are informative and entertaining. While I dont love every process the manufactures use, I find it amazing when your construction is obviously stronger than the original, which has worked with no issues for decades, and some think the modifications will not hold up.

I have one simple little idea; I think it's time to quit pussy-footing around with the problem of water in the keel. Here is my suggestion; cut out a decent sized aperture in the keel big enough for you to be able to have a proper look inside the keel. I would suggest a square hole of approx. 9x9 inches, big enough for you to have a decent look and to get some tools into. When you get around to doing the repair, I suggest that you secure something flat to the inside of the hole to give you something to use for backing up your new fibreglass patch. I think it is important to find out the true situation inside that keel, if only for your own peace of mind !

I was subscribed, and it changed, so i have subscribed again. Keep at it guys

The foam on the bulkheads should avoid the bulkhead squeaking when you are close hauled and crashing through a swell. 😂

Ola Marina’s Mum. Your daughter is an inspiration to us all❤

we can make them on our printer just let me know...Debra (SV Romulus)

Just saND THE INSIDE!!

Your idea looks fine. I’ve re-engined two boats and did exactly what you did on one. That boat is still going 15 years later.

Sanding help solve simple problems.

Great job making the case for the engine area!

dumb question but does the gearbox rotate ie can it be repositioned 180 degrees ? so you would not have to raise the bed .....just a thought

We are just around the corner. I fitted a new engine in our boat last year, if you need any help or tips we will be here for at least another week. I know you know this but get your shaft in place first and work from that, as that's the only angle that cannot be changed. Great job your doing 👍

Keep going. Looking great

Most marine engine mounts have adjustable bases so once the engine & transmission are in it should be no problem to line it up to the shaft.

Good work.

I look forward to seeing what you are getting up to each week and you never disappoint. The floor and bulkhead/ribs (or what ever they are called!) has been a long process for you both and the relief you will feel when that is done will be great. The engine area is next, but love the way you both are confident and committed to what you plan. Go for it, you are doing amazing and love catching up with you each week. 😍

Hello to your mum 🥰😁

Thanks guys..

Hola Marina, Qué sorpresa, yo estaba seguro de que eras griega pero hoy te escuché hablar español con tu madre. Felicitaciones por el magnífico trabajo que están haciendo con el barco

So excited to see the floor go down and the engine put in place!! 😊😊

I think you should say hello to your mother every episode, never miss a moment.

Ah yes that is a better way to, can't wait to see your smiles on the day Seabird goes in the water super great project have a great weekend 😀

Silly question seeing you use levels inside I guess the whole boat on the mounts is perfect level ? Love the videos 👍🏻👍🏻

Subscribed, notifications on and heres the comment for the stupid algorithm :)

I'm booking the Orcas for when you go through Gibraltar! 😃

No need for an answer. You guys are really getting there. Well done!!!!!!!!!!

She is looking good

I still do not understand why english people wear shorts and winter jackets if it is freezing. 😂👍

😎

im stuck at how that exhaust aka the big hole into the boat is just a bunch of sikaflex holding the entire ocean outside the boat...i hope you redo it
