    I have seen the boat in the flesh and I can confirm it looks AMAZING.

      You did, and you were a gentleman for those five minutes and used all the right compliments. Thank you. x

    • @SouthAussiemait
      @SouthAussiemait 5 лет назад +4

      Always the gentleman😀
      But also not one for throwing false compliments around, so high praise indeed!
      So I can only add my humble compliments to the growing list. Looking good.

      Can’t wait to see David (cruisingthecut) repeat this feat on his boat. 😂 I’m sure it won’t go as smoothly.. but he will give it a dam good go of it!

    When Anna said to Kath, "You're my favorite," I thought "Awe, that's true love." Then Kath said, "That means I'm carrying all the heavy bags fromTesco," I thought, "Ah, that's marriage."

    FYI next time put the sand in a mason jar, hose over opening and then put just the ring on and you can shake this way much easier.: )peace by the way you two did an amazing job on the boat it looks fantastic. :) peace

    The boat looks beautiful. Rule #1, never look at the spots that aren't perfect. It looks perfect to everyone else. And always listen to your partner when she tells you wonderful things about you. Because You Can Do It.

    • @TheNarrowboatExperience
      @TheNarrowboatExperience  5 лет назад +3

      We did save a bit of money- should probably do a break down of costs at some point. But I think the professional job would also have been spectacular.

    much nicer colour than the last colours job well done, when you go into any marinas your handy work will be admired and the maintenance staff will ask where you had your boat done and when you tell them you did it they'll ask if you would like a job lol

    • @TheNarrowboatExperience
      @TheNarrowboatExperience  5 лет назад +1

      So true. I don't think it should really be called boat painting, as it is all about the boat prepping.

  • @garydye4270
    @garydye4270 5 лет назад +1

    It certainly does look amazing and if Cruising the Cut says it looks amazing up close and personal then it is confirmed. I'd like to add that choosing the deep blue colour and white trim was a great decision. A home to be proud of.

  • @samcardone7494
    @samcardone7494 5 лет назад +1

    You should paint white paw prints down the gunnel. Nice job by the way.

  • @fredhoy6697
    @fredhoy6697 5 лет назад +1

    Very good job girls, especially you, Annemarie (?). Most people would not have been that thorough. I was really proud of your thinking about expending an extra hour now to save an extra hour every time you wiped down the boat. Good thinking.

  • @Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle

    Very nice job painting those lines. Generally speaking you want to remove the tape as soon as possible as the bond will become stronger the longer you leave it in place.

  • @carolframe7177

    you did a fantastic job boat looks great..a little tip for you if you ever paint again.when you lay your masking tape where you tear it off fold the corner back a small amount it will make removing it a lot easier as you wont have to pick at it to lift an edge....well done

    Hi, your boat is looking really good. Very brave of you to tackle it yourself. We have watched all your vlogs on our other channel. Yourselves and others have inspired us to have a go at vlogging our last Narrowboat holiday. Our dream is to get our own boat in a few years when work has calmed down.

  • @davidsedlickas8222
    @davidsedlickas8222 5 лет назад

    With a cruiser stern boat rain travels down the gun whale and into the engine bay.
    A solution to this problem was found by having a rod deflection welded across the gun whale at an angle to deflect the rain water into the canal.

      Not easy at all but hopefully one that doesn't need repeating for 5- 10 years.

  • @tinplategeek1058
    @tinplategeek1058 5 лет назад +1

    Quick tip for the masking tap over the side of the gunnels.
    Don't leave a sticky bit flapping around over the edge, make it slightly longer and then fold it back on itself so that the end cannot stick down and then acts as a tab to help when pulling off the tape.
    So no worries about marking your new paint job when the end of the masking tape sticks too well to the side.

  • @phillipbateman2284
