OK I am on board with you.

Heart warming episode. Your getting closer to your dream❤

Great vid mate! Here in Australia 🇦🇺 boat prices increased 50 - 100% during Covid , so the 40’-50’ cat that was $400k is now outta reach and cannot now ever see myself perusing my dream of living on a boat !

I just came across the channel. Thanks for the inspiration. My relationship also took a turn and now I'm single, 8 months later to this day, I'm selling my boat and moving to the Mediterranean to purchase a boat and live outca bucket list dream. It's funny what life has installed for us. 😊 positive vibes and I will be watching cheers. 🍻 ⛵️⚓️

Wow I won a battery and from one of the most interesting channels on RUclips... This boat and owner journey just keeps getting more and more interesting.... Joe

This wasn’t about your boat going in the water it was about you starting your new life. Lots of good reason to be emotional!!! Congrats, wish you the best!!!!

Good presentation.

That engine has no glow plugs 😂. The instrument panel has the label for other other engines that do have them.. Governors is stuck.. it just happens if that engine is left for too long…

Curious where you guys will end up going now that the marina is being bought out by developers...

From Wikipedia - Another Goderich 35, Nomad, was built with aluminum construction for Ed Arnold in Washington state. It was shipped by road to the US east coast and he sailed it to Europe. On the return voyage Arnold sailed it around Cape Horn and on to Sitka, Alaska. He later used the boat to do a solo circumnavigation, intended to be non-stop. He completed it between 1 October 2001 and 6 September 2002, including a month for repairs at the Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town after hitting an iceberg and a stop in Adelaide, Australia, to have his radar repaired.[4]

Hey bro! We live in St Pete! I am wishing you all the best in the world. I admire your courage and tenacity for beginning this journey and the sacrifices you have to make. I know this will be a challenge but have feeling you're gonna do great things and can't wait to see your progress!

Good on you love nz good on you

You just use a large screwdriver and wiggle it around to scrape off the barnacles.

Great little boat. Enjoy the process. Remember it's just a boat. It doesn't need to be perfect. It needs to be safe and reliable. I have gone a little crazy with long hours and the hunt for perfection in the past. Now i wish i had gone sailing more.

Good luck from Brighton UK in same position as you 😊

Did you get a boat or a storage locker? 😂

How would you winterize the system for cold weather if you mounted it in your boat

Remember, Stay single and your pockets will always Jingle!

Great job man! Keep your Chin up. I’m pulling for you.

This guy gets married and his wife says "well, now we're married, I suppose you'll want to get rid of that old boat." And the guys answers, "You're beginning to sound like my ex wife." and the wife answers, "Really, I didn't know you'd been married before." and the guy answers, "I haven't."

It seems like a decent start to adventures. At you seem to be a guy who can do this! Yes, it needs work and money but it is not damaged, rotten or something like that. And I’ll follow for a while because you know how to use a camera, picture quality is good!

Let me know if you need any help, I am completely inexperienced with sailboats but I can lift heavy things and I want to learn new skills.

Hi Frank, excellent video. I have a couple of questions hopefully you have the time to point me in the right direction. 1) I’m upgrading my Morgan 41 classic to a lithium house bank. I think I have all the fusing etc done correctly and I’m going the DC-DC charger route regarding alternator charging. My question regarding this installation is separating the AC loads and the inverter. I have a single 30A shore power inlet. I’m using a ronogy 3000W inverter charger. When I’m away from shore power I want to power the whole boat except a few heavy loads: water heater etc. I’m guessing I need to install a separate breaker panel for the load that I only want to be powered when in connected to shore power. Is this correct and is there anything specific I need to think about when doing this? 2) where would I go to get some ABYC training regarding electrical systems given I’m located in Canada? I’m a long time engineer in the entertainment industry so have a very good grasp of complex systems looking to pivot that knowledge to the marine sector and want to do it right rather than just winging it🤣 Your info was so well explained and detailed. Very much appreciated.

Im glad i found the channel !!.. im really thinkin about taking on the boat life ,imma see how things go for you ! Lol

I love your content ! Keep it up!

Congratulations on your boat it is awesome looking. I wish you all the best in your journey. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents and with all do respect. During the inspection part with the expert , I was trying to fully understand what he was saying and you kept interrupting the guy. He was putting out some great info but you wouldn't let the dude finish a sentence. It presented like you were rushing through that sequence, which waters down.what you intended to do with your channel. Understanding the time you have for the video, however It would be great to let the viewers get qualitative knowledge. I don't believe there is current content out there on aluminum boats as well. Best regards.

I have subscribed and liked for you

I have a CAT 24v 225Amp alternator. Can this be used to for a 48V system or does the alternator have to be wired to output 48 or does the Arco set the voltage that you select? Kinda confused how this works.

Catamarans are for women. Monohulls are for men. :) Seriously though, Monohulls just are better for the ocean. No bridge deck pounding, can sail to windward, stronger, will re-right themselves if the unthinkable happens. There are only 2 things I can say a cat has better but it really is just 1 thing: in rollie anchorages, monohulls can get very uncomfortable. Luckly, in my 8 years of cruising the Bahamas, all of the Caribbean and a good bit of the south Pacific, I can say it was only a problem in 1 anchorage....Tyrell Bay in Grenada. The other is space, but for the price you have to pay for a cat, you can just get a bigger monohull for the same or lower price with the same space. Ok, there is a 3rd, they don't heel, but offshore, they are jerky. I so much prefer a boat that heels 15 degrees with a smooth motion over the jerkiness of a cat. What scares me the most about cats is if I misjudge a squall or a micro-burst comes, that cat can very much go over and it's not coming back up. I gave serious consideration of buying a cat when looking to move up in a boat while in Fiji. After talking to a few cat sailors there who have crossed oceans in them, I decided to stick to monohulls. One guy even had his up for sale so he could go back to a monohull.

cut that bar off and put a proper mess screen cover over it that can be removed for cleaning. Make sure the mess part of the cover is not facing forward...make it face aft.

Keep in mind, what you add batteries, that you need to offset the weight on the other side. You don't want the boat out of balance.

he epoxied in the seacock? You are going to hate that when you replace it....or the next boat owner will.

When you are in a marina you will enjoy that AC. When you are on anchor, which will be most of the time when cruising, you will not be running it and for the most part, don't need it. The only time I wished I could run the AC while on anchor was summer time in Marathon and Grenada. The rest of the time, with the wind blowing through the boat, it was just fine. I will recommend that for a boat that size, go with 600 watts of solar panels. Nothing like having free quiet electricity.

I have travelled the same path you are on but slightly different. My woman left me 20 years ago. I started looking at boats a few months later. I had about 18 months of sailing experience 19 years earlier but on a small limited boat. I ended up buying a Hunter 376 and moving aboard. I didn't have to do much work at first as it was only 9 years old, but it wasn't a cruising boat and I wanted to turn it into a cruising boat. I remember feeling of being overwhelmed. It took me a while to learn to single handle it, especially docking. It took me about 7 years to fully learn the boat and to turn it into a cruising boat and then go cruising. I cruised on it for 6 years. In Tonga I met a woman who worked as a waitress at a restaurant overlooking the harbor. A few months later we got married and 3 weeks later she got pregnant. We had our boy there in Tonga and when he was 6 months old we sailed to Fiji. During that trip I came to the conclusion I wanted a bigger boat. I didn't think I had enough money to buy what I wanted, a Hunter 50 CC, but we were about to take a flight back to America so my family could meet my wife and son. I was looking for Hunter 50 CC boats that we could stop by and look at and show her what I am saving up for. During that search, I ran across a 1986 Whitby 55 that I could afford right then. I poured over the specs of the boat and the pictures (it was in Trinidad) and decided it is what I wanted, so just 2 days before our flight, I sold my Hunter in Fiji and bought the boat in Trinidad without even looking at it. I know, crazy, but I was sold on it. That was back in 2018. I gotta tell ya, moving by plane is not the greatest thing to do. It was so hard to decide on what we can keep and take with us and how to get rid of everything else. Also, after 12 years on that boat and so much I went through with her over 35K+ miles, it was hard to leave her. I remember first walking onto the Whitby and once again having the feeling of being overwhelmed. Going from a 37' sloop to a 55' ketch is a massive change. We stayed in Trinidad for a few months working on turning the boat from a dock queen boat into a cruising, living on anchor boat. I had no idea how she sailed or handled when we were ready to leave for Grenada. When we came out of the protected waters into the Caribbean sea and had the ocean swells on the nose and motoring due to island shadow, I was amazed at the big splashes the boat made motoring dead into the 6 foot swell. It was like 20 feet high. My son didn't like it and started making sounds telling me to make it stop. I knew at that moment though that it was going to be a great boat, because that conditions on my old hunter would have been really bad. Later as we found the wind and veered off and put up the sails, oh my. It was a dream come true that I never imagined. We were doing 8.5 to 9.3 knots on a close reach and only heeling 12 degrees in 18 knots of wind. The ride was so smooth and the biggest kick I got out of it all, the autopilot didn't move the wheel for like 5 minutes and then it was just a nudge. The boat, even though it was just a long fin keel, held course near perfect on it's own. I am now living in a house in the mountains of Colorado with my family because we ran to Texas when covid hit. We are now waiting on my wife to get citizenship before we head out again. I miss my boat as it's docked in Texas still but we are getting closer and closer to heading out again. So, yeah, you are going through some tough times now and I totally feel ya but I can say you got some great memories to be made in the future. Her leaving me was the best thing that ever happened to me. BTW: It's a great boat. I couldn't think of any boat better to transit the straights of Magellan on and that has always been a dream of mine.

Nice battery. Question anyone???? if I put four 100 amp hour 12 volt batteries in series will I in effect have a 400 amp hour 48volt capacity draw?????

Education is a wonderful thing. Thanks❤

Looks like a fun project. Especially since you are starting with a nice clean boat. Nice find. Congrats

one thing they do not mention is that you can connect it to an AGM battery without DC to DC charger that is why I'm getting this battery for my Boat

Wow I just subscribed to your channel last week and now I get a chance to win some new batteries. So cool Good luck on your project as we go along I’ll share some of our boat projects

Whoever’s doing your marketing and scripting is good. Putting all the audience participation in is great. All the thank you’s is a great touch also. You’re going to do fine with this opportunity.

Wow nice batteries. One day hopefully I'll be able to upgrade. I'd love to pull my diesel and go electric.

That's a seachest, one hole for multiple water supplies. Some are square, make sure it's solid. You might have been able to hook a/c intake to it ??

This will be fun watching you get the boat ready for cruising. Consider putting a strainer over the opening in the seachest to prevent larger debris from getting in. You may be able to attach it to the bar that is currently in place. May the strainer easy to remove in the event that you have to do a better cleaning of the opening. Coat all the exposed surfaces with antifoul to minimize the barnacle growth.

Really well designed boat, also completely finnished. You my friend as a super fortunate man, most of my fellow yacht captains would give their eye teeth for that little beuty you have. What a boat, its really another level.

For the strange thru hole, get as much bottom paint as you can on the wall and as high up as you can get it. Then design a metal brush that can fit into this area. You can then give this to your diver to clean this area out when the clean the bottom. Investing in a hooka dive system would be a smart thing to do as you will pay for it over time with the cost of divers. Do not cut the plate out or cover it further.

That hole in the hull is a simple version of sea chest.

Your boat is built better than a Lagoon

The content is ok, but maybe change the title to "Assembling a ProFurl (...)" fits better. Take parts together is not build. It´s just an assembly.

It is a sea chest. The wasp nest is optional😂.

Keep em coming, I am learning so much!😮Your vision is exciting and it shows😉
