Okay naval architect here, that ballast keel on the first "solid" hulled boats doesn't counter the waves. It moves the center of mass below the center of buoyancy, without the ballast the ship is like trying to balance a pencil on its tip. What actually counters the waves is the center of buoyancy moving around. Also love the pronunciation of yacht, the correct way is clearly wrong along with most English pronunciation.
We bought an old lobster vessel of a fisherman awhile ago, he wasn’t happy with how shallow its keel was, coast guard steamship inspector wasn’t happy with the 800lbs of rocks in the bilge he used to make it more stable lol
@@FundyisleLegacy why would anyone want more draft, the only advantage I can see is changing the rolling characteristics or rectifying a loll issue. If a boat you bought has a loll issue you probably shouldn't be just putting rocks in it to fix the issue.
@@abyssaljam441 yeah he wanted it to roll less, he’s the one who put the rocks in, we took them out and put the boat in operation in an area that doesn’t get the wave action that the others have
i'm curious, as to what would happen, if the propeller was tested out on a boat from the city set from the artic expeditions series or one of the two boats the aqua raiders used. would they still float?
Ive had a coastguard boat in 2010 or so it was bigger than the polar explorer ship, but it was GIANT as a Kid. I played with it like it was a cruise ship or a battle cruiser
5:59 Its a playmobil propellor motor. I love playmobil and I can confirm these playmobil motors are all defect and can’t be turned around so they are correct
I know 😂 I was looking ages for a LEGO one that worked but then I saw a blue motor that looked exactly like the video and I clicked on it to find it was PLAYMOBIL. I love playmobil I loved ever since I was 3
There actually were electric motors that could clip to the keel from the floating series. I had a couple of those. They were not from Lego, but came from a small submarine toy, that I also had.
6:21 RMS BRICKTANNIC, Feb 20th 2024, hit a tub wall and sunk will all hands lost. Rescue vessel RMS BRICKTORY 6:29 capsized at the last known location while searching for survivors.
I’m planning on making one of my big model battleships float and attaching one of these motors to the Barton of it with the keel piece too but also machining a Leo plate to fit it so we have as little leaks as possible and adding a smoke effect to make it look like the ship is really sailing
You missed an entire generation of Lego boats. The early 90s fire boat, police boat, and cruiser. Also for video purposes the first pirate ships as well.
The boat motor you got in 5:57 is a PLAYMOBIL motor, not a LEGO motor. But both fits on the lego boats! I don't know, which motor is stronger - the lego one or the playmobil one.
how to get the orange boat base and also the blue boat motor that can connect to that base?if not that then any other motor or boat base that i can buy?
Who else noticed lego did an illegal building technique on the second boat
How?
Ohhhhh😅😅😅
Oooooh
Oooh

Never get too old for Legos
That’s why they say 0-100 years
I like when it was 100 years between the first and last boats.
Love the nostalgia this brings back.
0:41 people say that the yellow plate on the roof is illegal, but it’s actually a lost technique
Unlike that first boat The boat I built myself custom made with no instructions with way too many colors inside it actually floats better
i'm curious, as to what would happen, if the propeller was tested out on a boat from the city set from the artic expeditions series or one of the two boats the aqua raiders used. would they still float?

For the flickfire missiles around 3:20 need to be flicked not tapped but it looked hard to do that when the boat wouldn’t stay in place
I dont think 100 years ago was 1961 but i like this still
6:40 you should make a part two when you experiment boats that can float with motors
5:59 Its a playmobil propellor motor. I love playmobil and I can confirm these playmobil motors are all defect and can’t be turned around so they are correct

I have one I I can prove that
missed a couple... thousand
There actually were electric motors that could clip to the keel from the floating series. I had a couple of those. They were not from Lego, but came from a small submarine toy, that I also had.
I had no clue that those big hulls had an electric motor attachment, i just thought it captured extra air for buoyancy.
Thanks for doing this, I am writing a book on LEGO, and I wanted to write at least a little something about boats and how they float.
I’m shocked that you didn’t talk about the short-lived little motor for some boats from the 2000s
He did
@@AlexDoodes o
very creative video. i would like to see more research and testing of lego planes from past 100 years. test flights
Great video. Definitely a channel I'll be watching more of.
Cool boats
7:15 perfectly describes the actual movie
I had one of those boat motors. They are genius.
I have the boat from 1973 with the kiel and I never thought that it would be so old
I'm watching a video of Graham Norton showing me about how well Lego boats float... This is living
My Lego Stryker APC floated pretty well. "Minifigure Scale," too. Too bad I scrapped it for parts.
My main go-to was the 1991 Cabin Cruiser (set 4011)
Anybody get a strong urge to start singing the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald when the first boat started sinking or just me?

6:21 RMS TITANIC April 4 2024 it hit a big ice berg deaths :105 survivors: 1.00000
i like how the bad guy's BOAT sinks but the good guy's SUBMARINE floats just fine at 2:53
3:00 the irony that out of them two, the sub, which to be a sub should sink, doesn't. While the boat, which should float, sinks.
Thank you for the cat nap build
That first boat NEVER sunk. It takes on water but stays buoyant
i actually had one of those yellow battery powered motors as a kid, never realized it was from a lego set!
the two floating Lego boats from the 70s are cool Lego should use them more often to make small model boat sets
I’m planning on making one of my big model battleships float and attaching one of these motors to the Barton of it with the keel piece too but also machining a Leo plate to fit it so we have as little leaks as possible and adding a smoke effect to make it look like the ship is really sailing
If I had the motor I would use it as an torpedo for army ships😂

You deserve all the views and subs - your hard work, consistency and storytelling gifts deserve the world! 🌎

Lego policemen in the 3rd boat look like Jean Paul gaultiers😂
Help! A Lego ship had sank in the Lego City Harbor (Tub)! Build the all new Lego City Fleet to Rescue the Men!
He is the chillest youtuber u deserv 100M subs🎉
This!!! This is my dream that I can be a grown man having fun with his lego
I wish this guy changed "In 1979 this pirate raft was released" to "In 1779 this pirate raft was released"
I would say "WHERE'S THE LEGO TITANIC!?" But I saw videos showing it not float
This is just showing off all the cool old Lego sets he has
Are ya winnin son
Ur such an underrated youtuber
Old one go boom
Fun fact: 1961 to 2014 was the shortest century in recorded history
I still have my "original" pre moving Minifigures
I love how the submarine floats but the bad guy boat doesn’t
Thought you were going to finish with the Titanic 😊
4:21 this brought me so much pain.

1:30 Yep, no life preserver pieces...... Only stickers.
POV: what kids see: fun
What minifigures see: North Sea
What mom sees: INSURANCE DAMAGE FOR HOUSE ROOF
😂😂😂
0:54 nobody: 7y old me having a bath😂
As a kid I had one of these red boats, the second one you showed. I had completely forgotten about it, now I remember it bc of that keel! 😅
Do you flying planes next?❤
a lot of iconic boats was left out including
Fabuland paddleboat 3676
when you call a JET SKI a speed boat....... you missed the Res Q hovercraft.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WHy is this reminding me of 100 years of School Lunch?
Ww2 was 85 years ago and denmark was barely in the process of mass production LEGO
Love it!
Lego boat are the best
i am pretty sure this is the secret channel videos, its prob fynn
no
LEGO BOATS YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
SOME FLOATS
Nice clickbait, but it's actually 63 years of LEGO boats.
Yeah but he made a good video and that’s all that counts -wise words I did not steal from another video
@@user-wo5xk4ol6u Eh, I'd say it's mediocre, especially with the editing and what--not.
I'm so impressed with your knowledge and expertise. You're clearly an expert in your field.
i like the agents submarine
2:55 it is always going to pass even if it does sink, it is a subarine
youer videos are grate bro
Please make more videos I'm desperate
More like an destruction mode
some are titanics and some are olympics
Where is Lego pirates of the Caribbean sets?
Fun fact Lego is 92 years old
So the Lego brand is still not 100 years old
Titanic:Am i a joke to you am a boat aswell ships are boats aswell
Alternate title: I tested 62 years of Lego boats
That was a playmobil underwater motor
FIRE IN THE HULL 🗣🔊🔥
WATER ON THE HILL 🗣🔊💧
Make the 1973 boat sink
How about the ocean explorer ship the biggest and the Jurassic world ship
4:01 cause theres no wave😊 and i think you forgot some swamp police sets
where did you buy one of the underwater motors i need to know
I couldn't help but to notice your accent, are you from Ireland by any chance? What part if so?
them using these parts that float but then dont use them: we are not big brain
Do this in a pool or at a beach
How were you able to connect the boat motor to the arctic ship
i have that 1994 canoe!
Nah you forgot the pirate of the Caribbean boats
Can you make a 100 year version of a lego car?
I remember lego engines i always f around whith em then it died😢
Did you not have the money for the Titanic set?
U forgot that huge cargo ship
I actually have the pirate one
how to get the orange boat base and also the blue boat motor that can connect to that base?if not that then any other motor or boat base that i can buy?
You may have a yacht but I have a gwatt.
