What a nightmare! Glad you tested the electric out. I’m gas all the way with a 90 horse on the back of my “dingy”😂😂😂 You can ski behind it…I call it my expedition dingy. Congrats on getting the correct motor on…look forward to seeing you both soon!
I feel your pain ! We bought our 54’ M/Y in March of 20 in Ft Pierce, our old trusty merc 9.9 died.. it took 4 weeks to find a under 20 hp out-broad ..
I think the boat you two passed in the canal is the African Queen from the movie with Marlin Brando and Kathern Hepburn. We live Mrs. Mac's Kitchen! Great place. Wow, your videos are FULL or adventure and unexpected treasures. Among everything else! Thanks so much for sharing your videos! One thing, that scene with William falling out of the truck onto the ground would have looked more realistic if the directors had not put the plywood there on the ground for him to fall onto. But, still, due to his great acting, the fall looked pretty real after all. Best regards, Mike
Heyyyy Mike! So happy to see you back!!! Hope you are doing well!!! Yes, so many memories in Keys! A lot of good places and quite a few new ones opened as well! Lol - plywood was there to unload the motor, we don’t schedule any falls for the show :) he has a bad knee, it gave up when he was trying to step down. Iana
Hello Bill Thank you for your comments. I agree we need to adapt tech from other sources in order to have a real dingy solution. My thoughts are to design something using the thousands of wrecked auto batteries in junk yards. Re-purpose would use up some waste and same time adapt billion dollar investment by auto companies that boating will never have. Capt W
Hope you get the electric sorted out. I’m still going to try it myself. It will be for the Loop so offshore capability isn’t a priority. Hope it works out for both of us.
Tony For the loop it is a perfect match! Zero gas, no lugging tanks, wife can start with a switch and run on a charge for very long time. What size is your dingy.
@@DawnHunters Have yet to purchase one. Need to keep it small and light because it will probably go on the swim platform. If inflatable maybe stowed on the forward deck. Still working it out. There is no Davit system on the boat as yet. Thanks for the help.
Just an opinion, your dinghy is your automobile and very essential no matter where you are! If you anchor out and want to go exploring, you will be very limited in your travels and most of the time it's wonderful to get away from your boat for new discoveries several miles from your Anchorage. Perhaps you should consider a good economical gas engine to enhance your mobility. Have several friends who have opted for the gas outboard for mobility and distance reasons aforementioned. Yes it's a trade off for enhancing your dinghy journeys. Fair Winds and enjoy whatever you do
@@DawnHunters keep the electric when you are at Marinas and outboard for the long day excursions while at Anchorage, depending on where you are, capable dinghy with range is awesome! Enjoy yourselves always
Believe me, Mark, I’ve tried all possible solutions. Unfortunately it is true. After many appeals - all you get is an automated computer response without any explanation. Total BS. 😤 maybe when you are over 100k you get some contact but for right now …. Iana
Jason Is possible but also the batteries need to have BMS exchanged for larger surge current. Then would have to play with props and actual height of the motor. As we need to depart next month running out of time for science projects.
I have had 4 ev vehicles, 2 were for work and both could not do the work of our previous vehicles and were replaced. On paper they said they could but on several occasions we had to overnight on a day job to charge the vehicle, other occasions we had to remove equipment and freight it as 2 people and the hardware made too big a hit to get to the location and return. One I bought was fine for the 3 months I owned it and then it was hit in the back quarter, this slight damage cracked an aluminium casting and creased the battery pack cover either of these on their own would have written the car off and I was hit by a car rolling in a car park but at exactly the wrong spot transfer leverage directly into the casting. The current EV is going well as a commuter but longer trips are out IO still have my motorbike and a diesel ute to do the things the EV cannot. Just look at Gretta she has a daily commuting EV (BMW daily charge) a mid range weekend EV (Tesla Model 3 her quote "If I use it all week it takes too long to charge to be used for good distance in the weekend) and a Hybrid for longer range trips like trips to protests etc where you have to be there at a time and day. So a single multi purpose Dinosour powered car is her use case is replaced by three and one is still hybrid.
I’m pro electric. I’m sure there’s a system that’ll push you dingy. Get back up batteries. How far will they go now. I missed that. You should have the information about the electric motor. Ya OK A SMALLER DINGY . DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND. You got places to go. 😏
An Thanks for your comment. Checking wind direction as that is the plan. No real plan other than cast the lines once these boat chores are over. Capt W and Iana
With your demonitized status on RUclips, why don't you have longer videos on a different channel where you can be monitized, like Vimeo or something else and then the shorter videos on RUclips. So you get a audience from short RUclips content and then you make money from you RUclips viewers watching your longer videos on the other platform.
Hello Matthew! Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately RUclips right now is the only one “real” option for creators. Without going into details RUclips is a monopoly and this is not changing anytime soon. Believe me I’ve been thinking the way to work around this for the past two years - it’s very sad to have no chance of appealing or at least having a legitimate reason for such decision. For right now patreon is the only viable option. Iana
Yeah you definitely did buy the wrong engine you're dinging probably my guess no more than about 40 horsepower at the most I have a Avon 15 ft with 30 horsepower E-Tec love it we will wing on the lower part of the engine. Man it flys.
Special THANK YOU to Highfield for the help!! Be sure to call Suncoast Inflatables in Clearwater for your dingy needs in Florida.
that is the luckiest man on earth, she is always so happy
Great show. You guys are so entertaining. So real and fresh. You just wait - your channel is Blessed ! Matty
Thank you Matty!!! Really makes us happy to read such comments! 🙌🏻
You guys look like you have alot of fun together, right on!!
Love to see you both. Can't wait to see some of your adventures.
Thank you Craig!

100% race car. But when your normally flying at 550mph anything less is slow.
Thank you for watching!!!
Love seeing the updates...good luck and keep them coming.....RB
Thank you Robert!!!
I just love your videos and the banter between you
Thank you Nicholas! 🙌🏻 banter is what we have excessively 😂

Somebody has to test the waters with the new E vehicle’s. Thanks for the interesting videos you share.
Yes sir! This test wasn’t that great lol but our small ePropulsion still works great for us

Thank you!!! We are happy to be back to!
Love the way u guys roll with the punches! Another great video! Good choice to switch motors in your situation....always try electric later 😀

To date hard to beat a simple outboard.

phew i think you guys need a stiff drink! lol. you guys crack me up. cheers all the best. xx
Couple of them! Thank you Andy! Cheers!
Hope that’s not true about RUclips,I really like your videos.maybe they will reconsider if you get enough comments about it 😮

LiFePO batteries are the best, and use 48 volt ones to power your craft. Get a 48volt motor, you’ll be happier.
Boris and Natasha! Glad you found a suitable motor. Did you get a prop with the second one? Happy sailing!
YES- came with a prop.
Thank you
Hi Guys, good to see you back.
The issue with the electric motor isn't just a prop size/pitch issue?
Cheers
Jason
Is possible but also the batteries need to have BMS exchanged for larger surge current. Then would have to play with props and actual height of the motor. As we need to depart next month running out of time for science projects.
Great video! I hope RUclips gets their act together. Does Rumble pay?
Don’t know but for now we are fine with our own work and few donations here and there.
Thank you

Agree with you.
More testing to be had but as all things the correct combination will emerge
Thanks for comments
Hello dawn 🙂
Hello! 👐🏻
I’m pro electric. I’m sure there’s a system that’ll push you dingy. Get back up batteries. How far will they go now. I missed that. You should have the information about the electric motor. Ya OK A SMALLER DINGY . DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND. You got places to go. 😏
That one was rough
Lol
Some days you want cherries and you get the pits.
@@DawnHunters he is one lucky man . Your accent ? Is it Russian or Dutch ??? Azgardian ?😉
Hi guys!
😁👍
remind me again who is the engineer on this project???
Hehe, take a tiny Gas Generator with you so you can make it back home when the batteries die.
Electric no petrol yeah baby
Ya baby
Gasoline ⛽️
I don't know what to say...
Except, I'm glad it wasn't me. The boss would have taken out her scalpel and skinned me alive!
Dino’s juice is delicious 🤤..
Lol
What is the plan today, we're is your direction now
An
Thanks for your comment. Checking wind direction as that is the plan. No real plan other than cast the lines once these boat chores are over.
Capt W and Iana
@@DawnHunters I love your every episode ❤️™️
Good on ya mates 👍
Again you don’t need to respond
Thank Gawwd you are dumping the electromechanical Hazard off the dingy. I thought you would come to your senses, LOL kidding William.
David.
True. Lol
gasssssssssssssssss is besttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
hybrid??
That is what we have. EV 3hp for short runs and the 25hp gas for distance.
I kinda thought that engine was way too big...
True.
Was the only option until Friend located one that was at a dealer
какая ты красивая у меня🐑💖
🫶🏼🐑
Wow you two our just funny
Like watching someone moving a piano.
get on craig's list
Already there!!
Lol
Hey honey, want to go clubbing? Where, downtown? No, in the canal by that boat.

UA ITS TO BIG GET A 15 gas 🤷🏻♀️
Better the electric ⚡️ 🤓 💙
Doesn’t respond it’s for me more than you lol 👋
Petrol is better (gas) for the Americans 😁
One day an alternative will be here. Just not there yet
Electric is the “eco-fad” right now but it’s far from reliable.
100% agree but those crazy like us need to keep trying.
Thank you
No to electric get a good Yamaha ❤
That is the mission
Electric doesn't belong on the water.
Not yet.
Yeah you definitely did buy the wrong engine you're dinging probably my guess no more than about 40 horsepower at the most I have a Avon 15 ft with 30 horsepower E-Tec love it we will wing on the lower part of the engine. Man it flys.
I do think soon EV will evolve for this application but right now after 1 year of testing it is not there yet for us.
Thanks for the input
