I will watch, genuinely like, and comment on every video. This is really one of the best projects on YT and I wholeheartedly support you. I'm going to have to start looking at cool lifeboats for sale, never even crossed my mind how cool that could be for an off grid home/recreational build, you're taking it to the technological extreme and I love it.
i was wondering who bought this lifeboat...very nice find bro it seems like a model like that is rare too find! can't wait til you're done with the project!
You are going to need some fairly powerful motors but by comparison to the Silent Yatch's 55 and new 60 with parra kite youve got a good comparison base for power. By placing your power batteries in the old engine bays you will have the twin advantages of saving on the amount of Heavy copper cable and voltage drop on your motor power cables. It will also help to keep your original C of G and ballance.
@@HeartofGoldLifeboat its a 1991 Lifeboat and the through-the-hull fittings are already leaking. To avoid future maintenance. Plus it has alot of other stuff I dot need so its all getting sealed up. I will mount a gas engine outboard and an electric outboard sidebyside.
TL:DR at bottom, kinda funny story if you got the time..... I am just starting to look for a hull. I have been collecting different pieces and parts and was wondering if there is a good source of life boats because of all the decommissioned cruise ships? You mentioned trying to bring one to the states from Canada? At one time the USD was KILLING the Canadian monopoly money. So I went to Canada and drove around looking at private sale cars after a dealer laughed me out of the building. I bought a beautiful old porsche for $20,000. I showed up with three American cashiers checks thinking I was going to haggle but needed the money to do so, couldn't bring cash, soooooo anyway I could combine the 3 checks to make several different offers. I got him to come down from 35k to 20k. Made the deal, gave him the checks. On the way back to the hotel I realized my mistake, I gave the guy 20k USD he was asking for Canadian pesos. It was actually worse than that I had asked the bank for Canadian it was a whole big thing. I did a lot of business up there for about 4 years and the banking was always a HUGE hassle because my business back then was mostly cash. This is the weird part if you are still paying attention. I go to see him the next day, his bank asked him about it and when I showed up he had an envelope with my name on it and it said 20k on the outside of it and had a check on the inside for 20k. In CANADIAN. At this point my hot headed partner goes ballistic. Oh, and the guy pretty much only speaks French and I think Hungarian. My partner spoke fluent Jerk and all I had at the time in my speaking toolbar was American and some pig English and 3 years of first year French. After a bunch of total misunderstandings that were all the Jerks fault, I finally realized that the exchange rate was Exactly 50%. Or at least close enough that someone rounded something up or down and cut the check for my change for 20k canadian. So I bought a car for 20k, got the car and 20k in change. Which totally convinced the guys at the border that I stole it or something. And I never was able to register that car. After a decade of looking I found a car that had been stolen and stripped all the way down to the frame and still had the vin number on it. I had it painted to match my car and transferred every single part on to it. So the question is: How difficult is it to register a canadian boat in the US? TL:DR How difficult is it to register a canadian boat in the US?

@@HeartofGoldLifeboat as long as you don't hit the water like bricks do and then do what bricks do after hitting the water, you are probably OK.... If you DO.... Your lifeboat sleeps with the fishes.

The only thing you can do to a car worse than let your teenager or wife drive it, is to let it sit.... They must have some kind of battery cut off? How do they handle the fuel so it doesn't go bad?

This is my new favorite series! Thanks for taking us along for the journey!
These are great, I love seeing the updates! I've got a few old boats but nothing quite this big right now :-)
Thanks mate, looking forward to following this build.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, I appreciate it!
Really looking forward to following this build..
Cool! Found you on reddit. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
Seeing your engine locations next to the side doors and bay size i know a lot of boat owners who will be deeply envious of your access. 😁
This looks like a really cool project.. I can't believe that you don't have alot more subscribers than you do..
Well, I'm not good at making videos or posting particularly often - so I'm actually quite happy with the amount of people following along 🙂
i was wondering who bought this lifeboat...very nice find bro it seems like a model like that is rare too find! can't wait til you're done with the project!
Thank you for the summary here!
Looking forward for the update

I've decided to remove my engine too and seal all the hull holes. Then go with outboards.
Oh, why's that?
@@HeartofGoldLifeboat its a 1991 Lifeboat and the through-the-hull fittings are already leaking. To avoid future maintenance. Plus it has alot of other stuff I dot need so its all getting sealed up. I will mount a gas engine outboard and an electric outboard sidebyside.
Ah, that makes sense. Are you documenting your project anywhere?
@@HeartofGoldLifeboat yeah here on this channel. Right now I am trying to get it into the USA from Canada.

ya, i was also thinking it would be pretty cool to make the engine compartments bedrooms
Need those for batteries and equipment like heat pump and wastewater plant. But the rest of the hulls is fine for two bedrooms
@@HeartofGoldLifeboat o ya, definitely need space for batteries lol
bird... how and why did you build your nest there?!
Might want to keep the exhaust for a generator

Thinking how to go electric.

Hi dear
Where is your part 3
Sir how much this catamaran weigh without engine?
M waiting part 3video with new engine
AMAZINGNES!!!
bird nest?? lol! x
Great!
subbed!
Is your channel name by any chance related to improbability?
Let's just say, when getting the ship out of the water, it hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.
@@HeartofGoldLifeboat as long as you don't hit the water like bricks do and then do what bricks do after hitting the water, you are probably OK....
If you DO....

Do yourself a favor and wear safety glasses. Lots of wires and screws everywhere.
