Is it too big? No absolutely not I look at it simply the tender is exactly what you guy need to fulfill the embodiment of the channel. This will allow you the opportunity to do things that a normal dinghy would not allow. You can pull tubes, skiers and all types of fishing and even explore island water ways with confidence. I am an avid boat enthusiasts and have restored many boats and love watching and even learning alot of great new techniques from you guys.
When i work (computer job) i listen to something while i work. And somehow, about 25 minutes in when Ty is working in this tight space, his voice reminded me about Keith from deadliest catch. Maybe it was the eco in the plastic but it just popped up in my head 😂
Hello again! Great meeting you today as well and thanks for watching and subscribing ;-) stay tuned in the coming weeks you’re going to be RUclips famous lol 😂
I hope the company that shipped you the boat compensated you for the damage and the work it took to repair the boat. If the shipping package wasn't damaged they must of shipped this boat knowing it was damaged ,I hope they make it right .
Since a lot of the sailing life is at anchor, this “boat” will serve you well for supplies, people/dog mover and fun diving/spear fishing days! Enjoy!!
Agree with you. So many others have to constantly struggle with boarding, passing groceries, water, fuel, and other heavy loads - this larger boat is very smart.
I thought maybe 40-50 hp. What an amazing addition to the adventure. You can anchor in a secluded cove and still go shopping 50 miles away. You can island hop in your "dinghy" for the day.
"Fancy dancy superific awesome bottom mapping transducer thingamajigger" Raymarine is truly great at naming their tech, so I can see why you bought it!
That nut you put on the steering air from the steering cable is available with a grease zert installed in the nut. It really helps to keep the steering cable greased and keeps the salt water out of the cable. I've used them on my 24 foot jet sled on the ocean and rivers and I've never had a problem since installing the nut with the grease zert. Before installing the nut I was replacing the steering cables every 4 to 5 years because of corrosion from salt water getting in the cables. Those steering cables aren't cheap and they are a pain in the rear to replace.
Even though I'd love to swap the RV life for boating. I'm sure there are lots of similarities , I've learned that All the planning in the world doesn't assure it will be simple!!! Love your channel and all you do!
The great dinghy video. You are going to be running a very sweet rig there my friend. I like the catamaran dinghies too; fast, more efficient, and better seakeeping in waves, but they are heavier and quite a bit bigger too.
I would have gone with the (100 lbs. lighter) Yamaha 70. A hydraulic jack plate for running in the shallows would be a nice add on. Enjoy your boats!!!
Your single "tender" has better specs than the combined specs of BOTH the boats I use to get to an Island I go to in the summers! I am, as my kids say, "Jelly!!" It's been a blast watching the four of you bring that beautiful boat back to life!
Use a PFF50216 filter/separator. Order a kit with the water sensor that screws into the bottom. It is a 2 micron filter with a water separating membrane, so you get 2 for 1.
No Davit. It has a transom/swim platform that raises & lowers. That platform is rated for about 660lbs & that dingy weighs about 730lbs & that motor weighs about 350lbs (so almost 1,100 lbs) so he might need to install bigger motors & reinforce the hinges on the platform (& trade out those nylon straps for something much stronger).
Great attitude to damage on dinghy ! Not sure if I could have handled it as well , I know from experience, the guy driving the truck USUALLY gets the blame in these cases . I must learn to be as diplomatic when the next mess happens in these situations ! WHAT REALLY BUGS ME is no one takes responsibility for these mess ups !
In the first 4 months with my new AB, I've gotten pvc primer, cresote, and other misc marks on my dinghy. Love my boat, but the dinghy is a car, truck, tow vessel, tugboat, and barge.
I can't help but notice you got a Highfield like Colin and water maker like Colin's. However Colin didn't use the Tesla battery system that you designed. However great minds do think alike. Looks great 👍.
I can't wait to see how you cram that thing on the back of the leopard... I feel like it's about a meter and a bit longer than what actually fits there, lol
We have a 3.9m tiny with a 30hp on it and all the other live aboards in our little group are upgrading tenders, it's nothing for us to run out to 1 of the islands for a day trip in the "tender" if we only have 1 day of good weather
The Dinghy Is In The Water...YAY! While this actually happened earlier this year, it's enlightening to see what it took to get you there. I thought you said something about making the scratch repairs, but that part is a little fuzzy. How long did that take and what all did you have to do to make it seaworthy? Glad that you got it as far as you did and hopefully you were able to get it either attached with a tow line or installed behind the big boat.
Wow that is a big dinghy. I bet you could fit everyone else's dinghy in that dinghy! No I have dinghy envy. They say bigger is better but how big does big have to be to experience it as better?
Just got one of these in December but with a 70 Yamaha. Was surprised when I went to fill up the first time that the fuel tank only holds 11 gallons (48.4 liters) after being told it was a 14 gallon tank (which was still a bit on the low end for a tender this size) when I was shopping. Are you planning to carry extra fuel jugs?
Ok, 15 feet, what's the distance between your hulls? Is all. that weight on the back going to put your sugar scoop steps underwater? The real question is, how did you know you could handle the weight and size?
Now that you have completed your union of Pearl and her “mom”, will you still have the name of the mothership Dauntless, or is that to be revealed on a soon to be aired future episode ?
Awesome video as always guys!!! Quick question regarding Pearl (wonderful name btw)… what would be the proximate retail cost of something like that with the 90? Just starting our own budget and hope you can share. Cheers Mike
Well duh! You needed a big dingy to go with the big catamaran! A little dingy on that big boat would look wrong. Besides, you can ski behind THAT dingy, beat storms back to the boat, carry bikes, lot of groceries & beer, and get away or get somewhere fast. Great choice, although I am still upset over the dings in the dingy.
No worries, I was glad to help you by lending my trailer! 😃
Great people that help others what a guy ~ Rob

OMG 😱 WOW ‼️ That's one hell of a dinghy ‼️‼️‼️ ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝 👙 🌞 🍷 ✨

A 90 hp dinghy! My God that's awesome.
Money is a renewable resource and time is not. So you absolutely made the correct choice. Bon voyage.
Shout out to Rob for loaning the trailer! That's what this is all about. Friends made. You guys rock!
Im so glad you guys are back in FL and in warmer climes!
Was a pleasure to meet you guys on the boarding! enjoying the content
Hello again! Great meeting you today as well and thanks for watching and subscribing ;-) stay tuned in the coming weeks you’re going to be RUclips famous lol 😂
I’m here for the dad jokes heheheh nice little dingy ! 🍻🍻🤘
👍☑️ Every week it's more and better content and progress. Tks
Super Fine Ride guys..... My car is green with envy!
I like the dates on the video's keep up the great work!
Awesome job y’all. I can’t wait to see Keith’s face after y’all race dinghies with S/V Zatara 🤣
Somebody owes you a new dinghy! That is one fast dinghy!
I’m so happy for you guys! What an incredible “journey” to the seas!!
I hope the company that shipped you the boat compensated you for the damage and the work it took to repair the boat. If the shipping package wasn't damaged they must of shipped this boat knowing it was damaged ,I hope they make it right .

Nice install job on that ray marine, Ty!!
Setting up the Little boat looks like a new form of tocher
love your annexe
Hope you got a hughe compensation from the supplier.

Go job Ty. It sucks when your project is out of reach and your head doesn’t fit. “Ty-Rex”! LOL
AWESOME welldone crew
So cool, you guys look like you have a great time together
Nice , I can see why you upgraded it, you didn’t mention that now you will have a boat that can possibly tow the big one into if needed!!
Even though I'd love to swap the RV life for boating. I'm sure there are lots of similarities , I've learned that All the planning in the world doesn't assure it will be simple!!! Love your channel and all you do!
When Kim was under the seat I had the phone face down lol and it sounds like what someone would say during sex I was laughing so hard
A ship sails in the ocean and a boat is carried by a ship.
That vlog was so amazing 👏 😍 So jealous.
Lots of love from across the waves Tenerife Canary Islands 🇮🇨 🏝 ❤ 😍
Awesome dingy 👌
You did it, well family 😉👍✌️, greetings guys from Habana Cuba 🇨🇺🙌🤪❤️
"You look ridiculous with that big dinghy" said no one ever.
The great dinghy video. You are going to be running a very sweet rig there my friend. I like the catamaran dinghies too; fast, more efficient, and better seakeeping in waves, but they are heavier and quite a bit bigger too.
Wow that was a Swine to set up but Man that's a Nice add to your Boat Loved the Vlog thank you
With a Monster Boat, you need a Monster dingy. Champagne anyone?
Bigger is better 💪🏻😎💪🏻 I fitted a similar filter but it had a hand Primer on it 🤭
Awesome!!! But how is the mother ship doing??? Already can’t wait until next week for your video!!!
I would have gone with the (100 lbs. lighter) Yamaha 70. A hydraulic jack plate for running in the shallows would be a nice add on. Enjoy your boats!!!

Tye,peaking of beer 30,no one will do a beer run faster than Pearl!lots of dead fish too
That is a beast
What is the total weight and does the Leopard 50 support that weight or did you have to reinforce the davit area?
Thanks !
No Davit. It has a transom/swim platform that raises & lowers. That platform is rated for about 660lbs & that dingy weighs about 730lbs & that motor weighs about 350lbs (so almost 1,100 lbs) so he might need to install bigger motors & reinforce the hinges on the platform (& trade out those nylon straps for something much stronger).

I must learn to be as diplomatic when the next mess happens in these situations ! WHAT REALLY BUGS ME is no one takes responsibility for these mess ups !
Put a tracking device so that when the dinghy is "borrowed" you will know how to find it.
Looks like forklift damage prior to shipping? Looks like you will need a heavy duty davit system for the dingy.
The have a hydraulic swim platform that is also a dingy storage platform while underway. It’s awesome.
Love the "boat" terminology you guys use. Just fun and no pretence.
In the first 4 months with my new AB, I've gotten pvc primer, cresote, and other misc marks on my dinghy. Love my boat, but the dinghy is a car, truck, tow vessel, tugboat, and barge.
I can't help but notice you got a Highfield like Colin and water maker like Colin's. However Colin didn't use the Tesla battery system that you designed. However great minds do think alike.
Looks great 👍.
Your going to have to race zatara’s dingy now💪🏼💪🏼
Hello to all from Siesta Key Florida
36 mph 12 inches above the surface, water, ground is flying fast.
Have fun be safe.
I can't wait to see how you cram that thing on the back of the leopard... I feel like it's about a meter and a bit longer than what actually fits there, lol
First pictures for next year's calendar.....
super cool greet from holland.

Difference between a Dinghy and a Boat, is that Boats submerge beneath the surface of the water.
The Dinghy Is In The Water...YAY! While this actually happened earlier this year, it's enlightening to see what it took to get you there.

from now on you reference that as a Donghy. ;-)
You guys are awesome! Congrats!
When ya got a 50' cat, you really need to be able to move more people from deeper mooring waters.
Wow that is a big dinghy. I bet you could fit everyone else's dinghy in that dinghy! No I have dinghy envy. They say bigger is better but how big does big have to be to experience it as better?
great dingy, thats why we have a bigger boat so we can carry a good size dingy, my 14 footer is good but your 15 is better, jealous ...

What is it about you guys with scratched bottom boats 🚤❤️😂🤣😂
That would be called a tender rather than a dingey. She's nice.
Wear your kill switch always!!!. 😲
You can put a dingy on a boat and a boat on a ship. But not the other way around.Well maybe you can but only once.
Highfield will make it right!
Ok, 15 feet, what's the distance between your hulls? Is all. that weight on the back going to put your sugar scoop steps underwater? The real question is, how did you know you could handle the weight and size?
Nice dinghy!
note to self... have Highfield rig my dinghy
that is going to be a nice boat
Now that you have completed your union of Pearl and her “mom”, will you still have the name of the mothership Dauntless, or is that to be revealed on a soon to be aired future episode ?
Google - sea leg boat, that would have suited you perfect
@5:55 : "Does my bum look big in this?"
Eehhmm, like the title says. 🤭
More of a Launch than a dingy!
A five minute boat job is still a five minute job but in boat years. (like dog years)
Killer dingy 🚀
Dinghy looks like one Zatara uses, can by a ski boat too.
So, are you officially rid of that boat yard now?
Like they say, Every 20 minute job on a sailboat is one broken bolt or one lost overboard nut away from a 36 hour ordeal.
Very nice BOAT.
"is it too big?" asks no one ever.
Awesome video as always guys!!! Quick question regarding Pearl (wonderful name btw)… what would be the proximate retail cost of something like that with the 90? Just starting our own budget and hope you can share.
Cheers Mike
20k without Raymarine. 9inch Axiom is cca 2k
@@C3c1l that’s with motor?? That’s not nearly as bad as I was thinking…
@@mikecasista that is the price here in Europe for Highfield with 90hp.. 20k euro, thats maybe more in dollars
@@mikecasista now i check price in US, 34k $ with Yamaha 70hp. Too much..

27:04 yes it is a boat, not an dingy.
Which dingey is this again? I know you told us, but I can't find it a second time watching
Highfield 460 with a 90hp Suzuki
So did you ask Sydney to have I go or still to soon for tight spaces
This is from the factory.....what brand?
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Dinghy requirement is 10% value of the vessel ? :-D
👍👍👍👍👍
Now who will waterski behind the beast first?
