Not only do you display a myriad of technical skills but an appreciation for a musical counterpoint that works well in your video. I really enjoyed the opening scenes in this one. I am already anxious to see and hear the next one. Well done!
For a fellow who says he doesn’t know how to do restorations, you sure show how you know how to do restoration! This is an awesome series to watch. I love it.
One of the big misconceptions is that a muffler will quiet the generator. Alot of the noise actually comes from the vibrations and working of the engine itself and not the exhaust noise. Hence alot of people build an insulated (and vented) box to surround the generator and absorb these engine noises. The nice Honda generators have done an excellent job of dampening this engine noise of their generators. One of the benefits of this is that you aren't announcing to thieves that you have a generator to steal with generator noise.
One of those jobs where it won't be seen when the boat is finished but will make all the difference to comfort.
That insulation looks like it'll do the job really well, and last too.
Installation looks easy, just getting the measurements and angles right.......
Another fascinating and informative video. :)
You sure have done a lot of research to get everything sorted. It's how to do jobs easily though - research and practice. :)
week 36 already It seems like only yesterday You started , I wish I had Progressed as Much with my projects
Excellent! Was surprised at the size of waterways and number of liveaboards.
you should make sure that its easy to collapse the tower if you need to get under a low bridge also you should get some solar panels =)
Super nice insulation, this is going to look brilliant when you finally panel those walls, very homely 😃👍
Looks great! Love your choices for background music. Must be great to be "on the water" finally
Brilliant story telling perfectly choreographed with engaging video! I had never heard of the subculture of people “living” on the water in and around Berlin. Although it is beyond the scope of “your first boat” it would be fascinating to learn more about the individuals and their floating lives in Berlin. I thought your opening was wonderful; lulling your audience with familiar sounding classical music and beautiful sunsets, a lone swan happily paddling by and stunning views out your windows as the vessel lazily swings around her moorings. Then without over-dramatizing anything the music changes as the images shift to wind driven rain, hail piling up against the window and other chill inducing pictures that lead one to consider how one actually stays warm and comfortable in a cold steel vessel moored in frigid water under such conditions. Perhaps among your many talents you are already an accomplished producer, your work certainly seems that way. Thank you for enriching our lives by sharing yours.
These videos get progressively better in every aspect. Better production, better music, more humor. You are really coming into your own. That boat is a beautiful diamond in the rough.
I've not watched all your videos, but have enjoyed this one.
- Yes, "sea legs" and "land legs" will cause some discomfort when spending prolonged time either on land or on the boat. Even as an "old salt" I feel the effects!
- Generally, the dedicated pleasure boating community does look out for each other. I've seen great examples of this many times over the decades.
- Armaflex is great stuff! I know at least one other youtube contributor who has used it on his sailboat for insulating purposes and is very pleased with it. I've attached some on the underside of the rear deck on my boat to lower heat and noise levels from the engine room below. Very pleased with it.
As for the rest, you're doing an excellent job, congratulations! Hugs from SP / Brazil!
Your channel is great. I like the way you do things, the repairs. The songs are amazing and the images are great. The only flaw is not being daily ... Go ahead and congratulations on your work. Big hug directly from Brazil.
Congratulations at being off the hard,making you first small voyage and moving to your small community. Look forward to you completing your masterpiece.
Loved the cultural education!
Great information I’ve never quite heard before, my dream has always been to live on the water. Never considered the points you made in the beginning of video. Really impressed with the Armaflex material.
Encapsulate your generator like those from Onan or Whisperpower, then you no longer need to switch communities that often 😊
Great work by the way!
It only runs for a few hours to fill those Lithium cells.
Great job! I’ve been watching since the beginning and am impressed by your determination and hard work taking on such a monumental task.
I am a metal guy, do-it-yourselfer and boater. I’m also from Berlin( New Jersey-USA).
I’m looking forward to your future episodes.
love your videos buddy, keep them coming. Greetings from Liverpool.
Amazing product Armaflex, we have used it for almost 50 years, insulating our Hydronic Heating pipe work. There's simply not much that competes!
Its closed cell, fire proof, UV stable and durable.
I've used it a lot too working with ventilation. It takes up so much less space compared to glass or stone wool for the same insulation value.
I can't say that it's expensive considering how good it is but it costs a lot of money. This guy is very lucky to have them as sponsors.
Absolutely fantastic 🤙🏼🙌
Once you put the generator into the engine room, you could put boards around it with something similar to the insulator you used so that it could absorb the sound and make the generator quieter.
The thing is that looks like a portable generator which needs air flow to cool unlike a traditional marine generator that uses water to cool. I think putting it into an enclosure might kill it
Its petrol and air cooled. I wouldn't be even putting that in the engine room
@@nayelelkiki Then what if he adds some sort of ventilation?
hello .. in week 4 you will see a fan on the wall, of which there are 2. one on the left and the other on the right .. these 2 are for ventilation of the engine room.
@@jakubkocian1145 a
I truly enjoy the opening montage and classical music!
That Armaflex is some high quality insulation, not only will it keep your boat warm, it will also keep it from sweating, and work as a very good sound deadener.
That is really good fitting insulation and will cut most of your steel vessel and engine noises down while keeping you warm
Cheers from nz
An excellent job 👏 I watch a lot of videos on boat restrictions and its always nice to see a neat tidy job being done. 👌👏
Ah The William Tell Overture, Very nice, Just coming into the storm section.
i Enjoy your every video.. Lots of love... From Bangladesh ❤️🇧🇩🇩🇪
Dude, I am loving the progression of your rebuild! Sehr gut!
I bet money that the insulation helps with significant noise reduction. Looks like a really good product.
It only helps a little against noise that is transported by the air! ( in german "Luftschall") The "major" noise is transported by the hull an all the materials in the inside. ( in german "Körperschall") To avoid these noises, you have to make everything heavier and try to make it stop swinging.
When working with foam products it is a good idea to have an electric carving knife in your tool box. Electric knifes work very well to cut rounded corners or round holes in your and leave a very nice finished curve. They also work to thin the edges of the foam where it requires a tapered edge and you can actually carve foam into specific shapes.
Love your choice of music! Great work on the boat, too. But, PLEASE, do something about that poor Bundesflagge!
Acoustic volume (loudness) of both air-compressors and portable generators are controlled by two factors...exhaust AND intake. Everyone chases 'quiet' by adding longer pipes or larger mufflers on combustion engines, but few realize that the air-intake ALSO contributes to volume! If you add a 'long-intake-duct' with sufficent baffling, you can achieve up to 10-db of volume reduction! Simply remove the stock 'air cleaner and intake', fabricate a longer intake pipe, add a smaller 'muffler' at the end (remembering to accommodate your filtration media), and you will have a MUCH QUIETER generator! In shop air compressors, this is often done with long-runs of pipe, to achieve maximum volume reduction.

I wouldn't worry about glueing the seems, but more about the ribs on the hull and roof that will be beautifull (thats sarcasm) cold bridges. When winter hits those ribs wil have tons of condens.
Gluing the seams is still very important to ensure moisture is not allowed to enter and get trapped behind the insulation sheets.
But fully agree, those ribs will lead to tons of condensation. Always an issue in boats, and much more so in steel vessels. A a good heat source combined with a really good dehumidifier can save the day to a certain extent.
I like the way you have sponsors from products you are actually using, instead of a segment from Squarespace or NordVPN shoe-horned in the middle of an unrelated video. I wish more RUclipsrs did their sponsoring like this: Unobtrusive and actually useful in the flow of the video.
That’s awesome insulation hundreds of uses. Good job mate. 👍🇦🇺
Awesome sunset👍
You guys have really made some great progress. I look forward to seeing the final product.
Looks good 👍
Well done!
Looking great, you are going to know every part of your boat! You need a captain’s cap!
Fantastic refit and you guys are awesome, good job, beautiful boat, ty so much
Love it enjoy your lifestyle thank you
Looks really good!
Nice looking stuff, easy to install.
Nice video. Thank you.
The ceramic knifes can be sharpened with a very fine sandpaper. Nice video boat Is coming along nicely. 👍👍👍
Do you plan on going solar at some point? You do good work, and I am enjoying the series.
And the adventure continues!
Love your vidios ,keep them coming please take care
Nice project
Spray foam, my friend, is your friend. That Armaflex has gaps everywhere, so it does zero good.
Wow amazing
I have found that silicone tire shine is very good at protecting exhaust pipes from rust.
Great work on that armaflex, looks great. 💚👍👍🇧🇪🛠🛥
Hi the progress is looking great. Have you considered adding a few solar panels and a submergible turbine (there are a few cheap river options you could throw off the side of your boat when at an anchorage). if you add on a few mix energy options to your Victron system you'll use the generator less. Take care D
Am starting to get very interested in this boat.looking good
Schönes Projekt und gute Musik
As before, very impressed over progress and dedication to this vessel!
You might not have the option (spring time in Berlin - or if recorded way earlier, winter...) but when applying insulation towards a metal hull, it is always best to do it on sunny warm days. Why? As you already know, enclosing the metal and in the process capturing humidity between metal and insulation can lead to horribly bad corrosion (out of sight). When insulating while it is warm, the metal being warmer than the surrounding air, in most cases removes the risk having any condensation on the metal. And while applying the foam, it is super important to ensure that you really get the adhesive to adhere all over so there are no bubbles behind where moisture inevitably will collect over time.
That said, a metal vessel is likely more "healthy" (just like a house) with the structure exposed and can "breathe", not closed in by insulation. But as we all know, it is not practical for comfort nor for the finances when it comes to heating the enclosed space. Insulation is needed compromise.
Bravooo 😍🇮🇹🇮🇹
excellent work m8.
einfach nur wow
hi. from Quebec. Nice music
Nice job keep it going.
Good effort on a swinging mooring!
nice job !!
Merci pour l'info :-))
Compare to you neighbors your boat looks really good!
Do you plan to travel anywhere once the refit is complete. Great job by the way.
Excellent I've been wondering all along were in Germany you were, I was in Berlin for two years and was totally impressed with all the people I met. Y'all watch out for each other. Of course everyone has asshats but I was really sad to have to rotate out. Looks like your doing a great job have fun.
Armaflex is some great stuff. We used it everywhere on navy ships.
"I checked the manual ,you are suppose to look ridiculous doing this" LMAO, man, that had me rolling!!! So perhaps in your next few videos you sit down with your GF and tell us a bout yourselves. What prompted you into going this route, what you do for a living, do you plan exploring the water ways instead of just sitting in one location, etc, etc.
1:52 min ... da blutet mir das Herz... mein Brotschiff auf dem ich gelernt habe. Ich habe jeden cm des Schiffes noch in Erinnerung. Wie kann man das Schiff nur so verkommen lassen.... ich könnte k.....
I would be cautious to put a petrol generator in the engine room. When the engine is running, the engine room gets hot and could create an explosion hazard of the vaping gas from the generator tank
As mentioned in the video, their generator runs on diesel, so there is almost no possibility of fumes reaching the LEL to cause an explosion.
But other safety & health concerns should be noted, particularly Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Sufficient ventilation and alarm sensors should mitigate these.
In Norway we can buy a special tool to sharpen the ceramic knives.Should be sold in Germany to! These knives are quite expensive so its a must to have them sharp all the time!
cool you just made me google white gel pen
U do it so Nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
but with arma flex you leave there a cold bridges where metal ribs are visible ...may be would be better to glue wood on metal ribs and after that spray it all with foam and shape it at the end.. there probably will moisture condensate on metal ribs, becasuse it will be cold..... just thinkign about... good luck
Might be a simple solution of wood strips with a groove on the back that will fit over the rib.
Hello another great video. Excellent job with the Armaflex. However I think you need to also insulate the structural ribs and beams, studs etc or they will conduct cold well and cool your environment inside. At the moment you still have a thermal bridge you must insult all outside contact with the internal environment. Think external temperature conduction. Cold conduction cooling and moisture condensation.
They sell ceramic knife sharpeners I have one at home. They're cheap. Also for installation of the insulation do it like a cellphone screen protector. Peel back about 6 inches of backing and place it on the wall. Then once it's secure pull up on the insulation at reach the remaining backing and pull it down securing it along the way.
Nice video! Dude that gasoline powered generator is a no no in a boat! Get a small diesel one in a soundproof case. Much safer!
I thought the same initially, before realising it's a diesel gen.
Sure has come a ways hasn't it
cool vid
Psst. Onboard ship the "floor" is called the deck.
It’s called a houseboat now, surly that means it’s a floor, it’s not going anywhere, as they live and work in Berlin.
@@clifficus Nope, its not! The majority of the Houseboats looks like a "Carton on a float". His Boat is still a boat/ship, thats able to go anywhere anytime.
Dont you worry about condensation on the metal hull behind the insulation?
Der Vollhorst hat an der dümmsten Stelle in r Bucht zum Schaden aller geankert. Der Anker bestand übrigens aus einem Generator...... Aber tolles Video..... Kümmert dich mal um dein Boot
I hope you get a lot of enjoyment while you continue to work on your boat this summer !
Personally, I would have gone with 50mm insulation. It gets cold there is winter, but if you are not planning on staying on the boat in winter, it probably is not worth the extra cost.
I think a lot depends on the internal structure of the boat, plus how much internal space you are willing to lose, for instance I have 75mm of insulation simply because the internal ribs were 70mm and I wanted to cover them completely, It's fairly easy to heat a space as small as this, I often have to have the windows and hatches open even when the log burner is turned right down low as it gets to hot even in the middle of winter.
That’s the way to go , live on the water and pay not property taxes
Use truck bediner for the the met floor outside the boat for traction
Wire u up some led light pods for the front light up the area n there waterproof
hello .. and woww new fenders you do indeed need .. (Question) if your generator is downstairs, do you connect the exhaust to your boat exhaust? I am already happy that your boat is and remains completely waterproof. Crazy stuff that insulation material .. Top. how fast it goes .. rebuilding everything.
I think stainless steel sheets to cover the insulation would look great
Can you tell a difference yet from the insulation? Sound difference? Temperature? Was there a odor from the Armacell? Looks great!!!!
What a nice place and way to live! I do not know of any place like that in the Netherlands. In 3 days you have to move in most places. In cities you would get a ticket within the hour.
That's so sad to hear, as I always thought the NL canals and inland sees would be the perfect places to liveaboard.
@@wellcraft19 It is and I do, but in a payed marina.
👍👍👍👍👍
Did you have to put the boat in now? It still needs quit a bit of work. How you going to finish painting it?
Da nützt diese echt Hammergeile Isolierung aber auch nichts bei den Scheiben die verbaut sind... da heizt du ja über die Fenster alles raus was drin bleiben soll...
but it helps against direct condensation on the hull (you will have this up and below the waterline depending on the weather conditions), thats worth a lot and good for dry bilges.
@@AlexanderStielau Da die Spanten aber nicht gedämmt wurden gibt es (zumindest bis jetzt noch) eine sogenannte Kältebrücke, welche wiederrum Kondensation begünstigt! Bleibt das so, wird es nichts mit einer trockenen Bilge! Warten wir das nächste Video mal ab.
@@hugo169a Naja, da kommt dann das dünnere Zeugs drauf, bin ich sicher (näxte Folge) :-)
@@AlexanderStielau Wer weiss.... Ich bin sicher, daß wir es erfahren werden. 😉
Curious how you are going to deal with all the exposed frame members which will drip condensation etc.? Especially if you are gone and are not heating the boat. Boats are all about down sizing and efficient storage. A storage locker ashore isn't a bad idea if you are home porting somewhere.
