Like I said 2 years ago that this boat is going to be a state of art marvel that all other boat owners will be wishing it was thiers. Well done ,you've proved what I said then true. It is an amazing boat with a lot of very hard work with lots of love thrown in.
Had a beer to celebrate episode 300 then a thought occurred to me soon you are going to have to name the Cat amazing I watched from the start and thought this guy is mad and as each episode came and went I thought he is still mad but look at what this guy has built a bespoke absolute tank of a boat that he knows every inch of what an achievement ⛵️⛵️🥳🍺🍺
What a beautiful country!! I had no idea , y'all sure live in a wonderful part of the world! The cat looks amazing! I have been watching since near the beginning and I still cannot believe all the work you and Janet have done on such a massive project, largely by yourselves!!!! I know y'all will have some great adventures on the boat!
I have to admit, Ross, that the windlass locker looks like it was just a part of the deck mould! (see 5:10 in the vid). If we hadn't seen you build it up by hand, I'd swear it was straight from the deck mould! Amazing work.
Congratulations guys - amazing to see how far you’ve come since those first episodes. It’s been a journey I’ve enjoyed watching you take. Looking forward to seeing you get the benefit of all those hours of hard work.
Congratulations on another milestone! 300 episodes in... I can remember when you were trucking that mold home😢... Sticky boats rule! Ps.. Let Miss Janet know that we need you to finish the cat before she finishes you off...lol 😂😂
Congrats Ross, 300 is fantastic. I've seen every one. I paused the video @14:16 for a moment to take care of something. When I got back to it, I glanced at the box to your right and I thought for a second it said itch world. Kind of fitting.
I've been watching this amazing build for awhile . I think of the boat factories in Asia Turkey etc ... with armies of people working like ants...... When I see you and your wife and some friends plugging along on this build. Wow , you have the patience of Job. 😅 You'll be in Blue water soon . Cheers. 🍻🍺🍻🍺
Congratulations, Ross on 300 episodes it blows my mind the amount of work you have put into this, i am rebuilding a 20 ft boat making new deck mold complete rebuild of hull and my friends say it too much work, a drop in the ocean compared to you and Janet looking forward to seeing you enjoy the fruits of your labor on the water one day soon
Wow, I've finally caught up from 1-300! I can't wait for my kids to experience this feeling in 10 years when they catch up on episodes (probably somewhere around ep580). Your workmanship is incredible Ross, yours a real craftsman and it's incredible to watch! On a side note Ross, you can tell you're a bloody tourist here, don't have to pay to pee behind a tree mate!
Congratulations to you both ! Thanks for sharing your break from building to visit NZ ! Now I see why they had to get the campervan to travel thru all that magnificent country !
Many congrats Ross & Janet! I've been following you from the very first episode and loved every moment! Isn't NZ so breathtaking...my brother has a house in Wanaka - gods gift!! Have fun Ross. Bri
Thanks Bri, NZ is heaven , bit cold in Winter but I love it, Wanaka is the spot, sadly not much of a ski season last year for Cardrona but remarkable got a dump whilst we were there.Thanks fir enduring our build it is certainly coming along.Rossco
Wayne you never know, I have spent a lot of time in Vancouver and one of my favourite places on earth.I may well just sail there one day, I would love to spend a summer season up in Great Bear Rainforest on this boat.Merry Christmas.Rossco
I’m from Carlisle. My Dad’s Auntie Grace used to run the post office at Thirlspot, Thirlmere. It’s been gone quite a while now. Stunning part of the world.
Congrats! Big journey behind you, and you're getting closer and closer to launch (with small distractions). :) Can't wait see her sail, cause by my reckoning, this is one of the best cats ever made.
Congrats on # 300 📺 Maybe it’s time for a recap video if you can find a video editor to go through the 100 hours of footage and boil it down. Or maybe wait until launch day. You are getting closer and closer 🎉
Does ya think you might have been laying it on a bit thick ...... Rossco! i mean, so Janet gets a break and you lay into her and how hard you had to work Lol lol lol lol lol lol . Lovely weather, the snow falling :) Take care Ttfn
I don't know how she doesn't just smack you, Ross. Congrats on 300!!! I can't believe I have sat through 300 episodes, well done me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂

Thanks for that comment it makes all the work worthwhile.

Definately on our itinerary mate.Rossco
Glad you enjoyed yourself on my side of the ditch. Very lucky with the weather especially getting a bit of snow 😀.

Me too.
Congrats Ross, 300 is fantastic. I've seen every one. I paused the video @14:16 for a moment to take care of something. When I got back to it, I glanced at the box to your right and I thought for a second it said itch world. Kind of fitting.
9:11 you two are absolutely peaches! :)
Too funny mate

We also wondered how hard she smacked you off camera. What a brave guy!
Congrat's on 300 episodes Rossco! 👏
Thanks Bruce, not really sure it is a good thing.
Wow, I've finally caught up from 1-300! I can't wait for my kids to experience this feeling in 10 years when they catch up on episodes (probably somewhere around ep580). Your workmanship is incredible Ross, yours a real craftsman and it's incredible to watch!

As always a greate video Ross.
300 episodes, wow impressive.
Your right about bouncing on suspension bridges, it is a must 😂
Take care.
All the best.
Thanks Martin.Love the suspension bridge bouncing.Janet does not like it at all . Thanks buddy.
Congratulations to you both ! Thanks for sharing your break from building to visit NZ ! Now I see why they had to get the campervan to travel thru all that magnificent country !

So happy to see you fixed those hatches!
I think it was you that put me straight.Thanks for that mate.
Fantastic scenery, reminds me of the English Lake District
I agree Shaun, Janet and I were married in the Lake district.Honeymoon in Ambleside near Windermere.Janet hometown just 20 minutes away.
I’m from Carlisle. My Dad’s Auntie Grace used to run the post office at Thirlspot, Thirlmere. It’s been gone quite a while now. Stunning part of the world.
Thanks for sharing your part of the world, beautiful mate.
What an amazing country NZ is.Thanks for checking in Charles.
snowing on the susp bridge was pretty, gld you got some vacation
Magical stuff
Awesome job as usually. You really need to look in to 3M "Dry guide coat" it will make your sanding so much easier 👍

Thanks Greg, merry Christmas.
Congratulations on 300 episodes!!

Congrats on # 300 📺 Maybe it’s time for a recap video if you can find a video editor to go through the 100 hours of footage and boil it down. Or maybe wait until launch day. You are getting closer and closer 🎉
I'm 37, not prone to injury, but there's a reason that I don't snowboard anymore!
I am 57 mate and love it but have to admit it hurts more every year and the falls are brutal.cheers
Will be adding rod holders into the sugar scoops
Absolutely mate.
Nice work!
Cheesrs Sam.
Bulbous bow Maybe ?
This week's video, shows the beginning of an epic modification Ray.
Looking good.. not much longer and it will be on the water.
How is it that you don’t have 250,000 subscribers?
Does ya think you might have been laying it on a bit thick ...... Rossco! i mean, so Janet gets a break and you lay into her and how hard you had to work Lol lol lol lol lol lol . Lovely weather, the snow falling :) Take care Ttfn
Gotta milk everything I get here Jim.Janet stirs me endlessly so I have get her back by bouncing on the suspension bridge.Cheers buddy.Rossco
How much of your boat's electrical systems are live?
🙂👍
Cheers
At 20:31 in, was that a fish jumping or someone skipping a rock?
Looks very cold. What was the temperature like?
All the mods you've done do look great, but as you say all take time, so one question, is there any plans to launch her sometime soon?
Looking at some time in the first qtr of next year, will depend a lot on my ability to bring the project home.Rossco
@@LifeOnTheHulls as long as there's no more mods that can't be done on the water
Next pay to breath. But saying that pay to pee is common
Ross, what is the name of Zach's channel?
Restore to explore Tim.
@@LifeOnTheHulls Thanks mate. I had subscribed bach when he did the ute, but somehow lost him.
Onya mate
Janet butter cut you back on the grub
Does a bear shit in the woods? yes when they take the piss fort the use of the lavy pan. fuck paying that for a toilet loyal
You’re not 25yrs old any more Ross….😂
300 episodes………..it doesn’t seem that long ago that you bought the molds.
