I,ve been watching your vids for a while, gosh your children are growing up so fast. Good to see especially the young lass getting involved. There are heaps of wax eye birds around my place too, they love the bird bath.
I used to work for a boat trailer manufacturer. Every trailer was fully welded up then sent for hot-dip galvanising. A customer traded in a 21 year old luanch dolly and it had no rust at all.
Always a good Saturday morning on the west coast of the US when you can have your coffee and watch Marty T fix an old trailer and have an outing with his family.
Marty may not be a world leader, but he is a giant among men in his love devotion and care he lavishes his precious little family with. Bravo Marty! We admire you greatly!
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” - Mark Twain
Beautiful family, beautiful part of the world to live, I was going to say you're a lucky man but I can see that you've worked hard for what you've got. Good on you bro.
awesome I used to enjoy the days when I used to go fishing with my sons, that is some good bonding time buddy they'll remember that their whole life. I see you got your new skipper on board steering the boat, I'm positive she'll remember that for the rest of her life. All of the children love that kind of stuff I used to let my son drive a big box truck. On private property my God he loved it
As well as grease theres a product availiable here in NZ called Res-Q-Steel. For any nuts bolts etc going either near or in saltwater its 100% top of the pile in protecting the threads. Better than anything in the anti-seize family. Seen nuts n bolts underwater for 20 years just unscrew like new ones would. Bit $$$ to buy but oh so worth it. No good near heat like exhaust manifolds etc but near or in salt water theres nothing better. And a little goes a long long way. My brother when he was an apprentice marine engineer bought a 4 litre tub and it lasted him just on 25 years.
Marty so good to see you and your sweet little family. Those magical moments at the end especially were heart warming and brought tears to my eyes. Love you guys you are the the salt of the earth. Please give us more great content like this. Watching you with those precious children is priceless! Much love from Mobile., Al USA!!!
This video must be "the best all-rounder" of anything currently on RUclips - -and New Zealand to boot. Thanks a bunch for allowing us this privilege; Marty. -Rick from New Zealand
You are the epitome of self-reliance and ingenuity. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in a very non pompous kind of way. Cheers and best wishes from northern Utah. 😊
Nice work, Marty! That trailer should be good for many years to come. I love to watch you transform some old piece of iron into a functioning, "better than brand-new" tool for work or for your own personal enjoyment. 😊
Hi Marty, this video bought back some great memories of going out in the Queen Charlotte sounds fishing in the boat with my mum and dad at about the same age as your kids ( 50+ yrs ago). We had a bach in Ngakuta Bay. Probably the best times of my life were had there. Thanks Marty.
I really do love watching your videos mate it just amazes me how you know so much on everything you do NEED MORE. Many thanks. For sharing your experience mate.
Ahhh, that explains why you weren’t ready for it to take off when I watched the short video. Your kids are having the best life. Well done to both of you. Cheers, Stuart.
Excellent video Marty. Never seen you move as quick when the boat hit the water 😂 Loose rope from boat to trailer would solve that problem. Well done for not cutting that moment out. There's an idea for a video, "Marty's bloopers " Keep it safe in that wonderful country. Looks like paradise 👍🇮🇪
I remember in the 1980s my dad and I building a 2 axle 1 meter apart racing car trailer that was legal 70mph in the UK Nothing fancy just a tape measure to get it square and indespension DOT co DOT uk trailer suspension units A few weeks later, One night after work I copied a deep V trailer for my friend welded everything with MIG welded mudguards and everything, went to the pub at 10pm for a beer and than back to finish paint it before midnight. The following day in December we took his boat up to the Lake district in the Windemere UK one the lake we hit an ice sheet and slid out of the water and had to hammer / smash the ice to float again.
A Kiwi without a boat is like a Macca’s without hot apple pie. Or, at least here in Oz, My land of endless sunshine, Far from your land full of rainy skies and gales… And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow, Thought my heart is full of tears at this farewell, For you are a bottler, And I have loved this channel, More dearly than the spoken word can tell…. In Memory of Roger Wittiger, 1953-2023. Brilliant British Singer, look up “The Last Farewell “
The shot at the end with your kid driving the boat instantly brought back very fond memories of my dad sharing the operation of the boat with me when I was a rather small kid.
We are so fortunate to live in N Z you are in probably the most beautiful part of the South Island. I envy your location. Lower Hutt is not Kenepuru sounds. Thanks for the video awesome as usual. 😊regards
Good one Marty T got a story for you. I was offered a 20ft boat trailer from steel recyclers for $50 the middle roller area was rusted out. I looked at it for ages and ended up cutting middle out completely, shortened the draw frame suitable for a 16fter. Went to buy a boat for it in Whakatane only to find another guy beat me to it. He had a tandem tipper so offered him my rebuild, we swapped and later sold it for two and a half grand.
Good job restoring that trailer Marty, saves a few dollars for sure. You need to make a small seat, for your tractor dog. 🐕Tie the boat off to the trailer mate, that way no wet gumboots. 🤣 The kids are growing up, when they can catch their own dinner mate. 🐟Teaching the little skipper early on.🛥 Great save on the little bird. 👍 Enjoyed this one mate. All the best to Jeanine, and the kids. Take care, stay safe.
You are tempting the gods. How dare you not utter the magic words at the end? "Well that's not going anywhere!" Cheers mate, thanks for another great video. Good to see that you managed the whole project without getting paint on the mutt. 😂
I really love watching your channel you don't talk a lot you show that with a little Ingenuity and elbow grease and the want to do it ,It can be done without a pro doing it.
The freshly greased roller launch really brought back memories of my old supervisor! After he greased the rollers we had to launch our RHIB and in a similar fashion it unexpectedly flew off the trailer while backing down the boat ramp. Unfortunately the tide was really low and there was no water to cushion the transom.🤦♂
I like the bearing buddies. Back in the 1980s we just left our dive boat trailer bearings a bot slack, since slack bearings tend not to seize up; which is the last thing you want when diving in the outer Hebrides in Scotland. great videos John
Marty your children are getting so big ,it seem that long ago they were babies , your trailer rebuild was the best I really enjoy your craftsmanship you know how to build things to last ,Well done Mate
As I can see, the chickens are very interested. It's the same thing at my house, every time I dig with my mini excavator, there is always a chicken in the way looking for earthworms. Beautiful restoring and superb fishing spot. Hello from Belgium
....as the boat gets away off the trailer, I say again: A minor example of lack of a coherent launch plan... .....excellently produced video. Very inspiring to us home handy-folks..
The Kenepuru road is looking rough. Great to see you on the water with the kids. I recognise the boat ramp location. You had more luck than me at that fishing spot at the heads.
Nice job on the boat trailer, I enjoy seeing the family in your videos they look to be growing, healthy and happy! The Bull terrier is really looking delightful, and seems to have there typical fun loving behavior sitting in your spot on the tractor seat!
I think that I would much rather have Marty’s skill set than a university degree. What a beautiful day to be out with the family. Living the dream Marty.
Beautiful! Wow! Thanks for sharing. Family time in paradise. It’s funny with all the work you did on the trailer (and fantastic work at that.) just a cord can be overlooked. I’m glad it didn’t cause a problem. After that is fixed it will be like brand new. Your knowledge amazes me. It’s wonderful that you and your wife are with your children. Not just in the same room but spending time teaching them so many things. ❤
Nice job on refurbishing your trailer, what a talent you have "Mr. Fix it " i would suggest you tie a long piece of rope from the trailer to the boat unless you like filling your boots full of water lol, i see you have spring in your feet chasing your boat, thank you for entertaining us. Larry
@@MartyT Agree🎯..many are/have been trying...I believe its the influences on YT and Social Media that'll have the greatest impact..." our country and lives literally depend on it "...🤙
Living the dream Marty, what a lovely job, I bet that was so satisfying, my heart jumped when you cut the plank of wood, looks so nice. & that fishing spot wow ..Am coming to NZ next month , can’t wait..
Job well done Marty, trailer should last for many years now, good to see you all having a good time fishing, only damper was having cold wet feet after wading in the sea. Lol.
Fabulous.....The Mrs. giggling at your super slick launch... priceless..👍😂😂😂 Great job, thanks for sharing 👍👏👏👏
You make life in New Zealand look so good you should get paid by the department of tourism.
Or the department of propaganda .
ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO MARTY....GREAT WORK ON THE BOAT TRAILER!!!!👍❤😇🙏GOD BLESS 🙏
the look on your daughters face while drving the boat, absolutely priceless
that boatlaunch was perfectly executed. well done and indeed surprisingly hilarious with the running after the boat to catch it
for those who like to see it again 23:00 or the will it start at 24:00
I've had to swim. Once again .. much laughter from wife.... 🙂
I loved how smooth that launch was😂❤
Nothing more down to earth than a father teaching his kids to fish 🙂
😂😂😂
Marty T never disappoints
Never.
Marty T has the perfect life.
Even Marty's 2stroke evinrude fired 1st flick, amusingly he seemed doubtful....
You would never hesitate to buy anything from him would you? You know it's always going to be 'straight'.
Didnt you see the Audi in the background...?😄
Marty, you've a tremendous talent for turning junk into treasure, congratulations once again.
As a young man I couldn't wait til the next Hollywood movie came out
As an old man I can't wait til the next Marty T video
I,ve been watching your vids for a while, gosh your children are growing up so fast. Good to see especially the young lass getting involved. There are heaps of wax eye birds around my place too, they love the bird bath.
Best boat launch ever 😊.. love the jersey too bro 🙏
I used to work for a boat trailer manufacturer. Every trailer was fully welded up then sent for hot-dip galvanising.
A customer traded in a 21 year old luanch dolly and it had no rust at all.
Thanks for sharing this Marty. Brought back my own memories of carefree childhood days on the boat. Oh to go back there now...
Always a good Saturday morning on the west coast of the US when you can have your coffee and watch Marty T fix an old trailer and have an outing with his family.
Very clean work!
Brilliant restoration/design improvement. Nice video editing as well. I hope your kids learn how exceptional their Dad is someday!
Marty may not be a world leader, but he is a giant among men in his love devotion and care he lavishes his precious little family with. Bravo Marty! We admire you greatly!
All children ... well, most children know how awesome their dads are, until they become teenagers. Then all bets are off.
@@willdsm08 They do figure out again later, if dad manages to keep his sanity!

The best part was seeing the kids fishing. Repairing the trailer was OK too😉
Your idea of placing an o-ring over the axle pin is great.
I could watch your videos forever… awesome memories with the kids🤌🏼
Your thoroughness is always impressive. No shortcuts and better than original. Well done!

Nice, The black paint I used is bitumen based, keeps the rust at bay for a few years

Thanks to your last trailer resto video, my 1957 caravan has gotten it's WoF! I applaud your attention to detail
Great thing getting the young ones out fishing... you can never go wrong doing that.

You guys across the ditch have got some beautiful places to play in Marty
You truly are living life to its fullest. Beautiful family and beautiful country. What more can a man ask for? Thanks for sharing your day with us.
Marty, youre living the life! You should get paid by the NZ Tourism ministry, lovely shots
You are a legend at turning your hand to anything, and a great father and husband. You can be proud mate.
Great job rebuilding the trailer. Fun times with family cannot be beaten. Pluse catching supper is a bonus.
good job Marty, you have a great talent for fixing almost anything, and you also have a nice family. I like seeing your family in your videos .
Ahhh, that explains why you weren’t ready for it to take off when I watched the short video. Your kids are having the best life. Well done to both of you. Cheers, Stuart.

Just one word for this. Magical !!. Thank you.
The shot at the end with your kid driving the boat instantly brought back very fond memories of my dad sharing the operation of the boat with me when I was a rather small kid.
Never a dull moment when you post a video Marty....😊😊😊
Best part: Family enjoying time together.
Another Good video!
Peace. ✌

A bit of maintenance goes a long way. That trailer should be good for years to come. Nice feed of fish 🐟 too.

Said it before and I'll say it again.... always a pleasure to watch your content, Marty ))
Motivation to go fishing, fix the boat trailer ! I like the dog, well trained as a potential driver with instruction from the kids !
I really love watching your channel you don't talk a lot you show that with a little Ingenuity and elbow grease and the want to do it ,It can be done without a pro doing it.
Y'all do live in a pretty country! Thanks for sharing the scenery in your videos! Loved the wives laugh when you skipped into the water!!!
Hey Marty, you timed that sunshine well. It was cloudy when you set off and when you arrived back.
Filmed over a few days.. I keep a close eye on the weather when boating
I can never "thumbs up" these videos fast enough. Great content-especially the wife giggling at her love. Well done Marty. God bless.
Seeing the roads? Definitely needed a new axle. Good job on the repairs.
Yes that road was hammered by the recent flooding, it may never be the same

Beautiful family and a beautiful day. Good work on the trailer.
NZ is beautiful but I still think Chile has it beat. Jim

Thanks again Marty and great to see the RCR Reality Check Radio sweatshirt too!
I'm liking RCR lately, most other NZ media seem to be government controlled
Great job, a full trailer rebuild. Great family time in the boat
....as the boat gets away off the trailer, I say again: A minor example of lack of a coherent launch plan...
.....excellently produced video. Very inspiring to us home handy-folks..

Beautiful job Beautiful place and fun, thanks.
good job Marty put some duct tape around those bearing budies to keep gravel from knocking the covers off
Living the dream Marty, what a lovely job, I bet that was so satisfying, my heart jumped when you cut the plank of wood, looks so nice. & that fishing spot wow ..Am coming to NZ next month , can’t wait..
when you are born in a city... this make you jealous.. but in a good way tnx man loving it
I would trust you to fix ANYTHING, Marty! Greetings from Colorado USA!!
I was wondering what the plank was for. Of course you demonstrate what it's purpose is at the end. Nice work as usual.
Job well done Marty, trailer should last for many years now, good to see you all having a good time fishing, only damper was having cold wet feet after wading in the sea. Lol.
Great fun Marty! Especially the last few minutes of taking 'er out in the awesome Sound! Magic everywhere. Thanks for sharing another masterpiece.
