Well done Mr and Mrs Stu on making that fantastic voyage. Having watched the old outboard videos, the resto and now this trip - it's all been a terrific journey.
Thanks Iain, appreciate you watching all this time. It's funny, while on this trip I've been planning a whole range of outboard videos to film. I guess variety is the spice of life! :)
@@DangarMarine Stu actually I love boats, I have a small engineering workshop just south of Bundaberg and I get to do a lot of aluminium welding on tinnys Mainly because the “captains” crash into Australia on a fairly regular basis. The bad news is (1) nothing on a boat is a straight line and(2) The tungsten termites (otherwise known as electrolysis) makes them a bugger to repair.😺👍
"Today's video is about finally making it up the coast in that Fing GM"! That was hilarious! ! Congrats on the successful journey. I am loyal viewer and I'll admit I didn't realize you were going on the hard next to Brupeg, thats going to be incredible with the synergies. I've been watching quite a few of their videos lately. Can't wait for double the Stu and Damian +Jess!
Hi Stu, now you are a fair way into the Renko journey including figuratively speaking........ as a fellow boater have you had one of those contemplative moments over a beer or three when you thought “I wished I’d have got a 40 footer 🤦♂️”........... well done on the trip👍
Glad to see you guys made it to Brupeg, you will have a great time and get some work done on Renko. Lol I was sleeping an my wife woke me to say, Hey Your Boat guy has a new Video!!!
heya stu welcome to Queensland glad you guys made it safely and the boat went well its good to hear that gm running love the sound my dad use to be a coxswain on Australian army lcm-8 landing craft that used 4 x 6-71GM twin packs before they were change to 2 x 8V92 GM in the 1990s he was based in brisbane river then they had no radar no gps no depth sounder he would say captain cook had more gear than we had they got radar in 1993 hahaha anyway take care and be safe
Hey stu. give damien a good swift kick to keep him distracted. get Adrien to sneak on board and permanently mark the cummins that it wants to be a detroit when it grows up. ;)
Bundaberg Marine down at Burnet Heads is a good place to put the boat up for a look-see. I have helped a mate do his biannual inspection and found the team there to right on top of the jobs. If you wanted a quick turnaround they will really 'pull-the-finger-out".
Great to see you and Vick made it safely as we all expected mate...awesome stuff !! Inskip Point and Garry's Anchorage are the 2 spots we stayed on our trailer sailer back in the 80s...we competed in the Tin Can Bay to Hervey Bay yacht race 3 times (not sure if this is still a thing ? ) Fond memories of Fraser and camping aboard every night. Can't wait for the next chapter of Renko at Bundy with the mods and sandblasting / topsides. Oh and the mighty Brupeg going in the water of course. With a Detroit 12-71 Cheers
one thing about the drone of a detroit- you'll either get to ignoring it exists until the sound changes or it'll drive ya complete and total bonkers. i'm guessing stu fits scenario #1
arrived safely and with a beach haul of goodies, whats not to like, lol just a matter of interest was the rifle casing British 303 ? thinking about your comment on reversing ( going astern ) in the Not so UK we use fishtails or small keels fitted to the rudder and it improves water grip and directional improvement, might help.
Not sure, it looked about that size to me. I'll clean it up a bit more and see if I can tell. Small keels may help. So will more practice. ;) Living on the swing mooring at home I don't do a lot of reversing so I'm sure I'll get better at anticipating the transverse thurst. A reverse camera would go a long way too as visibility astern is poor. I can see why people dock from their flybridge.
Nice shoreline and ocean views. Careful on melting lead. Don't want to breath the fumes and make sure no moisture around to drip into the melting pot. I have melted bullets and fishing baits but never happened to me. Had a friend had a drop of sweat drip off his nose and it fell into his molten lead and almost emptied the pot from exploding steam. Luckily none of the lead landed on him. Video stabilization on the GoPro makes for great "no shake" video.
Hi Stu,, loved the commentary,, good to see you in Bundy I've wandered up and down the east cost of Aussie over the last 60 years but Bundy is sorta home,, Was the rubbish man in Burnett Heads 50 years ago but its grown up a bit since then ,, haha,, keep the vids coming,.. Yet that bit of lead was the head of a Lead Head Roofing nail ,, ,, all roofing nails were lead head until they changed to Spring Heads in the late 60's I guess,,
That cartridge I suspect would have come from the Tin Can Bay Army training ground which is just across the water from where you were metal detecting at Inskip Point.
Would have been an enthusiastic Army cadet to get that .303 case to eject across the bay out of his old Lee Enfield. More likely that spent .303 case was used to train a dingo or feral dog.
I have been wondering how Renko will do in some rougher sea and swells along the coast. As well, I've been intrigued on your bunking below deck and how you guys do overnight. I didn't realize how much you and Damian look alike. Cheers.
Big trip Stu went to inskip a few years back as my sis lives in Noosa area wot a great spot ,wot was the fish you were given mate don't no if the bloke said wot it was looked nice on the barbie anyway happy days , cheers, shaneo,nelson nz
Good to see you arrived safely. Saw you arrive on Damian's video . The little boat that could looked so proud coming into the harbour. Glad you spent some time at TinCan, a good place for boating ,all the way up to Hervey Bay. Good to see you scored some free fish. I am like you, not a very good fishermen. Looking forward to your next video and seeing Adrian arrive 😊
Apologies if you've addressed this before: did you consider putting your tender on davits? I thought it might reduce drag and fuel consumption over such a long cruise. Hugely enjoying this trip in Renko, and it looks like you and Mrs Stu are too!
@@ProjectBrupeg you are right I was not making fun of anyone I just wanted to see the scale of works…. Brupeg can do many things well but Renko can go places the bigger boats would go aground… horses for courses
@@adamkoehler8000 Hey Adam, the boat next to Brupeg hasn't gone back in the water yet so we still aren't on the hard stand. Send me an email to dangarstu@gmail.com so we can keep in touch more easily.
It has given me more confidence in the boat. There is loads to learn about the Raymarine gear but I'm slowly getting there. I'll do a few tips videos for other Raymarine owners once I get more familiar with it all.
So glad U both made it safe and Renko seemed to do it easy. Watch those kiwis especially Damo cause he uses a shifter on everything 🤪 I'm also one of their patreons. Have a great time an thanks for the great blog, take care mate.😃

Definitely. Hasn't missed a beat so far. :)

Thank you stu for letting me touch recko with both hands
No worries mate, thanks for swinging by. 👍🏼
Good to see Rokkit made a cameo and showd you how to set up a trolling rig
The engine sounds really good now
Its finally had a proper break in. Ready to rumble now
Yes, I've noticed a slight change in pitch now. Now the rings have bedded in it does sound smoother.
@@DangarMarine I used to ride a commuter bus to work in NYC that had a old detroit diesel, love that sound, it would lul you to take a nap! 😆
I actually had a dingoes breakfast this morning! A drink of water and a look around 😁
Mine was a drovers breakfast. A piss and a good look around. 😀👍

Thanks Bob, time to get cracking on these jokes, I mean jobs. ;)
Loved your video, as usual. We got a quick glimpse of Vicky, so please tell her how lovely she is.
Thanks Larry. :)
Great to see my two favorite upside down channels together. lol Thanks guys.
Our pleasure!
Great to see Tin Can Bay getting coverage, thanks Stu, that is our neck of the woods and our version if Renko lives in the marina at Tin Can.
It was a nice spot, glad we dropped in.
Oh I love you have a picture of Bill Muray as Steve Zissou hanging there :D One of my favorite movies!
Mine too!
Good ole RENKO.
Great show glad you made it, now you can get to work, remember to have some fun too, Jeff in LA USA
Free fresh fish! What a gentleman 👍
It was very kind. :)

Thanks mate, I'm looking forward to getting up on the hard stand too.
yay! Was thinking about sending out a search party. Well, a party anyway...
I'll keep an eye out for the party's arrival. ;)
For those critical of Detroits, you made the trip while they remain on the hard. ;)
Indeed! ;)
But we still don't have any oil leaks...
@@ProjectBrupeg keeping the oil pressure at zero sure helps with that.😉
I LOVE the drone of that Detroit Diesel running so smoothly. It’ would put me to sleep.
It is quite nice to sleep to when you are off watch on a night passage.
Good to see D-squad at the end again as usual.
LOL. They're a good substitute. ;)
@@DangarMarine Kiwis are like strange little chocks ... so ... same same.
Love watching your adventure RENKO's running well
Thanks mate. :)
Nice video…fun to see Renko out’n about…nice to see your hard work pay off…steady she goes…be safe…
I think its great when both get together....
I am so happy to see you are safe and made it
Awesome, those brupeg folks seem pretty cool I smell another sub I need to channel
Thanks Gabe, they've done a great job on Brupeg over the years. Hopefully it will be going into the water very soon!
Brupeg are the real deal, well worth subbing to.
@@rododonnell9783 Thanks very much mate
@@ProjectBrupeg More the case of Thank you for having such a high quality channel
Loved the opening
I'm thinking less work will get done on both boats parked side by side.....but the beer consumption will skyrocket.
It will be fine, Damien doesn't drink at all.
Well that’s the holiday over then! Looks a lovely part of the world for some grinding, welding and painting!
It is going to be great to be in an industrial yard where they allow that type of thing. Sydney wasn't a great place to work on a steel boat.
@@DangarMarine Looking forward to it Stu. Going to be great to see the topsides looking shipshape! More power to your elbow mate!

Nah, mostly dream about 50 footers. ;)
@@DangarMarine that's what she said?
@@DangarMarine only 50...? how quaint
that beautiful beach on the island--wish to visit thanks for taking us along
Your welcome Rudy.
Hey Stu, it's nice to see the Mrs.
Well would you look at that finally the 2 brother's from different mothers have got back together. Now this will be fun to watch.
Yup....but will the marina survive, lol...
Thanks mate. :)
Just doing great job. Thanks for sharing such a great story you live.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
..a bit of work and a few cold ones will be done soon....lol..good one , you all stay safe and enjoy your visit..
This is an epic journey. Thanks for bringing us along. The Detroit 4-71 sounds utterly reliable.
Thanks Kevin, glad you enjoyed it. The Detroit hasn't missed a beat the whole trip, so happy that Adrian was on hand to fix it up before we left.
Good morning from Siesta Key Florida
Good morning!
Glad to see you guys made it to Brupeg, you will have a great time and get some work done on Renko. Lol I was sleeping an my wife woke me to say, Hey Your Boat guy has a new Video!!!
LOL, she sounds like a keeper! :)
Congrats on an extended maidenish voyage.
Thanks mate!
Helping with the reverse maneuverability, you could possibly fabricate a flanking rudder forward of the prop.
Tally Ho joke was great! Good to see how the boat community goes together :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Stu , so calming to start my day at work in southern Spain , have a great day all of you 👍🏻🇪🇸
Thanks Mike. Would love to visit Spain one day. :)

Thanks mate, I love the sound of it too. It certainly makes life a lot easier having the nav gear, that's for sure.
Hey stu. give damien a good swift kick to keep him distracted.
get Adrien to sneak on board and permanently mark the cummins that it wants to be a detroit when it grows up. ;)
I think Adrian will definitely oblige when he gets here. :)
Another great job stu, thnx
You're welcome Richard.
Caught your arrival on Brupeg's channel.
Cool.
Awesome vids mate. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Richard. :)

Good to see you made it safe and sound. Enjoy!
Well done. I've always enjoyed adventurous trips the most.
"Dingotracks In The Mangrove..." Now that IS Exotic to a Swede :) We have Elks, raindeer & wolves Zzzz....
Just got done watching you arrive on the Brupeg Channel.. Glad to see you made it!
Love the intro 2🤣
And that concludes Renko's first voyage up the coast!! Nice. Looking forward to the upgrades!!
Just purchased a grill like yours, looking forward to fixing lots of meals on it with the family 🔥

Glad you made it in one piece. Can't wait see the work being done. 👍👍💯
Thanks Michael!
It is a big journey & must be fantastic 👏🏻🏆☝🏻Good work!!
SO cool Stew," Brupeg" project and your haul out.... nice to see the beautiful South Pacific....
Thanks for the effort you go to with these videos mate! Always awesome 😎
Well done on the trip too.
Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
It’s a leadhead roofing nail.. to hold down corrugated iron.
Interesting. Haven't seen one of those before. Thanks!
Yea lead head of roofing nail old school roof nails, as kids we used them as sinkers.
Cool. Good to hear they were put to good use!
Those sunrise shots are beautiful!

Great run for Renko. Must give you a lot of confidence in her ability. Would have been great to get used to using all the Raymarine gear too.
It has given me more confidence in the boat. There is loads to learn about the Raymarine gear but I'm slowly getting there. I'll do a few tips videos for other Raymarine owners once I get more familiar with it all.
