Moving Seeker to the Street
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2021
- Seeker takes her first steps with the help of a lot of great people at Taylor Crane and Rigging. It was fantastic to work along side these folks, to learn from them, and see that nothing was a problem they could not solve.

"Trickin Pickin" preformed by Doug Waterman
Few things as satisfying as watching experts calmly go about making something look effortless and easy, all with good humour!
whoever buys your old place is going to have the best workshop in Tulsa....
When it was first cut out from an iron plate, I have been seeing it from Japan for about nine years. It's finally the finale! It was a lot of fun. Thank you for your wonderful dream!
Yes I have also seen it from when he started putting the plates together. Its been awesome to watch it.
Watching people who are great at their jobs is almost always entertaining, but watching someone do complicated over the top tasks like this is even better! 👌
I wondered how you got Seeker onto the road. Fantastic work by real pros. Thanks for sharing Doug.
Congrats Doug, what an achievement .. I remember where I was when I caught on to you on youtube and binge watched all your old videos 10 YEARS AGO!! Thanks for wonderful entertainment, inspiration and fabrication knowledge .. I'm excited to see where you're doing next with this tub of yours!
good to see this was historical not a digression from where you are today. Great job with that trailer Doug. Not just a simple boat builder! lol
Almost shed a tear watching her move. Started watching this channel I think 6years ago when I was laid up with a knee reconstruction and since then have started and completed a general engineering apprenticeship and had two kids. Learnt a lot from this channel thanks Doug may the learning continue
Watched the first sheets of metal being put together and to now see Seeker ready to leave for the port is sad yet happy at the same time. Well done to all the team involved in this massive build. Not long to wait now May all that sail on her be safe.
Thanks for putting this beast of a thingy together! What an adventure doing it.
I can watch specialists like the Taylor-crew for hours.
You are blessed with all these specialists while buildig the SV Seeker.
Regards from Munich/ Germany
It’s incredible seeing it move!!! The Taylor guys really know their stuff!! I said it before you got one of the coolest neighbor ever!! Go BERT
I can remember you folding sheet steel like origami paper a few years ago, And now this hauling out onto the rd You gave me soggy eyes, Bless you and all that sail on her.
It’s so amazing how calm and collected you were on this day Doug. I would’ve been a nervous wreck.
My nervousness wouldn’t have done anybody any good, but it would’ve stressed me out. ✌️🇺🇸❤️
Every video I watch of Seeker moving from the yard just gives me goosebumps. Years of eagerly awaiting the next build video and now She is sooo close to getting in the water! 😃
I'm here in the beginning, silent watching without commenting, I'm glad still around to see all of this happens😊😊
So enjoyable to watch those first inches of movement! Amazing accomplishment it has to feel pretty good to see that part of the plan working so well after all those years.
Wonderful people! Can't wait to see her on the water. Good luck Doug!
Scared me for a moment. Thought you were being evicted from the port. Glad to see this is the moving videos. Taylor Crane is a fantastic company!
In 9 years I have seen Doug do a lot of “unusual” things.. this tops all of them. DOUG IS MOVING SEEKER!! Great job.. and thanks to Taylor Crain. Barts the man..
I can't remember when I started watching but it's been at least 5 years now. It was incredible to watch it come together. I would have loved so much to come help and I'm sure you'd have something for me to do lol. You had people from all over helping to get this thing to the water. But I haven't been all that mobile until as of late. Nonetheless such an inspiring thing to watch happen, finally seeing seeker nearing completion! It's been a wild ride and I'm so glad you shared it all with us Doug, this journey has inspired me to dream much bigger. Thank you and all to those who support seeker
I wish I could have up-voted this twice. You're an inspiration for sure Doug as well as everyone that participated in your vision. That's what makes me believe in Humanity, the fact that no matter where or who you are, where you're from, when you share a vision man, it's going to get done.
That moment when the boat rolled for the first time felt like it needed a little bit of fanfare or celebration. Good stuff right there.
Nice vid Doug. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulacions SV Seeker for the 200,000 subs. Good job, here from México. You work is very good and intelligent.
not gonna lie this makes me happy i remember back when you were building the captains house on top with spool guns man its been a long time coming.
Great Video. I replaced alot of those Spring seats on trailer axles. Alot...LOL.. Then had to re aligned the axles Great Video Sir.Thank You for sharing..
Im an old aussie trucky and my fondest thought from this video was that the Drivers kids and family for decades and hopefully generations will see this series or the Seeker and say " My Dad, husband, son or brother etc moved this awesome object with the pride of the world with him."
So many great memories already made and so many more to come..
Incredible - all of it!
Wow! Dug.... you are so incredibly bless.... I do hope and wish you the very best... hope you manage to deals with that insurance problem....
Exciting, awesome work Doug & crew! 👍
I remember the day we winched those mast sections onto that trailer. Had a bit of a snarling in the winch cable we had to fix. Had pretty much the best time of my life that weekend.
Beautiful!
The episode title had me worried for a bit, thought maybe the Port had kicked you out because of the lack of insurance. Happy to see that's not the case. Taylor Crane guys are fantastic.
He said it was fine in the last video but i also spilled my coffee almost to the title :-P
cant wait to see it on the water after all the years watching you build it!!
I love that sound!!
I am young but if I have learned anything in my time it is that to move forward you have to take one step at a time. Put one foot forward and never look back. Keep at it!
Been watching you since the submarine.
Im so excited for you Doug.
Congratulations my man.
After all your hard work, I kind of expected some tears of joy as you saw it finally move off your yard but we know you're a tough cookie Doug.
I still think my idea to dig a canal to the port would have been easier ;) but DAMM how powerful is that tractor unit?
This must be one of the most epic private projects on the planet. The very best wishes from the UK.
This is amazing to see, cant wait for the vid to see it slide in the ocean
@@cmmartti no i dont, i mean as in being launched in the ocean, or lifted or whatever u call it
Amazing!
Out of sequence. I thought it was going to be moving out of the port back to the street.
Great team.
Fantastic video thanks
So exciting Dougie!!
great job all.
Man the sound of the truck working , the turbo noise music to my ears good driver too
Dang Doug, that DID go pretty smoothly all things considered. I hope you get your insurance issues figured out soon and get her keels wet. I'm sending positive vibes.
Now when se SV Seeker in my notices I think here we go... darn. Well they're still fun to watch. Wish I could do more than just pray.
@@davidanalyst671 Still not sure I understand what they want but I know it's a chuck of change, is there a go fund me page?
Nice to see how it came out of the yard. I am guessing that the first bit of moving to get it turned around was a some of the most nerve wracking. Hopefully get to hit the water soon.
Need you guys to come trim some trees for me. Got one the insurance company was complaining about cause it is touching the roof.... On the porch where the roof is completely shot. Anyway ran three 20 amp circuits to the office though they are not tied in yet, two more to my DataComm closet also not tied in yet, and to the smaller of the bedrooms downstairs but got it tied in. GFCI/AFCI at the breaker so actually beyond OK electrical code. Planning to use the GFCI/AFCI breakers for the kitchen wet locations, bathroom, and bedrooms since they were only a few bucks more than the AFCI which is required in bedrooms now and covers all outlets instead of using GFCI outlets and then trying to gang them together. Plus I am currently using them on the old knob and tube circuits that are still running the lights for now. Amazing what you see in a 100 year old house but when I am done it should be pretty cool.
If you need a break for a day or two load up and head out to Pawnee, we can run some electrical and figure out the best ways to take out the old chimney's... LOL
Great stuff Doug ... the people who count don't care about sequence ...we want to see ALL of the footage ... Have a great day Doug ....
Taylor did a great job.
DOUG! Your vision has been a gift to my creative heart. Thank you. By you pursuing this ridiculous goal, it’s helped me to think bigger. The joy I feel seeing that boat move is just unreal. Congrats to you for seeing it through. How many boats get started in sheds that never see the ocean! Not SV Seeker
Really interesting, Hope your insurance woes get sorted.
"Gawd bless er and all who sail in er"
AMAZING the things you had to go thru to get from your house to port, that would of drove me to. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. "Drink" Doug your the man
Nice repair job 👍
I just love watching pros at work. You are correct, when things go wrong, ya think about & make a plan. Move on no bitching required...... cause SHIT happens! Thanks for the insight to what went on Doug. 👍
I've been waiting for this video :-)
Amazing how much work bean done
It is so crazy to me to remember the very beginning of this build and watching the entire thing be built by hand. I tried to find time to fly down and help on some welding but could never get away!
Maybe once we are on the ocean?
Hope things are working out for yah Doug, so you can get SV Seeker in the Water.
Great to sort out those hick ups before hitting the high way! 👍🏻👍🏻
Was hoping for a video of this phase, also hope to see what happened next.
Nothing more terrifying than seeing a boat out of the water. lol.
she started rolling, and I couldn't help but see the scene from star wars with Anakin sitting in the pod racer when it starts up the first time "It's working! It's working!!!"
It moved. Yay!
boy howdy, these are all the problems that would/do keep me up nights, good thing they happened before hitting the pavement, though I've ran loads in on flat tires, broken frames, shifted leaf springs, non functioning brakes. Use your best judgment if you can pull it off safely, buy get it fixed asap. Did have a 5yd dumb truck that its tires looked like that fore YEARS, never had an issue always held air.
Doug, what's the update? Is SV Seeker ever gonna be floated on the Arkansas River?
The end of an era, heres hoping to many many years of fun adventuring on the seas
With regards to the launch issues that seeker is having at the moment, Doug could do what Carl (the old man) from the Disney movie Up did and just launch without any permission, then you’d be a real pirate!
But then if it sinks, he'd have to sue himself. So no deal!
Incredible to watch! Just wondering. How much does SV Seeker weigh when loaded?
Somewhere south of 60 tons
Merci
Well Done All
You had me there thought it was going from the port to the street
Are you gona post a video on the launch into the water?
I’m beginning to wonder if this ship will ever make it into the water…
boat has been under construction for the better part of a decade and only after a few weeks of it sitting at port you're starting to wonder?
Like I know you guys got it to the port in one-ish pieces we've already seen the video of it there but damn was it still stressful watching.
Finally!
Hi Doug, Are you in the water yet ? I watch from New Zealand.
She made good speed over ground already :)
Had me worried for a minute.. Lol
WoW 💪
wow!! Are you going to the sea now?
That's the plan. ...at least moving in that direction.
What are those load-distributing mats made of?
Polyethylene Plastic
I thought you were there I must be having flashbacks pbls it's like PTSD but it's post boat launch syndrome
It's so strange to see boat go. So many years to make.
That haul was just Taylor made for SV Seeker!
They need an sv seeker mod for snowrunner. like seriously if you could carry the sv seeker around with you in game or even build it, that'd be my favorite mod.
Parabéns
Lloyds of London: “Who built it?”
Doug: “The internet.”
Lloyds of London: “What?”
Doug: “The Internet.”
Lloyds of London: “Does it at least have any cats?”
Doug: “No.”
Lloyds of London: “What about goats?
Doug: “No.
Lloyds of London: “Seriously?
Doug: “Yeah… but the fresh water pipes have dragons…”
Lloyds of London: “I see… Yeah, we’re not going to insure that…”
Bro 💪
hahah duge miss with camera guys
Did your neighbor say about time you got your buddy tow yard lol
Before you go do you have insurance ?
Are they in the water yet?
In the water soon. Exciting time.
You are lucky that in the past ten years they did not develop the park in some way. I knew someone who built a 26 foot boat in his back yard and while he was building it someone decided that a new power sub station was the perfect thing to put just where he thought the boat was going to come out of his yard. In the end it had to be craned right over his house due to the power lines going to the sub station.
That did not happen, and there are always options.
That why heavy haul bogies dont have leaf springs they use walking beams
If ever I meet one of the people that dislikes the video of a guy realising his dream of over a decade I hope I'm wearing a full hazmat suit.
With a Green Coopers in both hands eh Stu?. I do believe Brupeg will be in the water before Seeker…….
That's no small boat! 🤣
que muñeca!!!
