Hey Stu nothing to be discouraged about, your doing an amazing job, challenging yourself, entertaining a lot of boat lovers world wide and showing us how to hammer through challenges with a sense of humor. Honestly best channel for me on youtube, keep up the amazing work and you have a whole bunch of folks ready to back you up all the time.
Thanks mate. :)
Don't get discouraged, you are doing great. The birds help as well.
Thanks mate!
@@DangarMarine You got ALOT done so far. Your doing something that should be dependable for a long time. Doing it the right way takes time, money and lots of Patience. Adapting newer tech to an older boat can be an absolute nightmare.
Can't wait to see what you do with the deck and wheel house. :)
100K + people watch because YOU make it interesting. Thanks!
Stu, You're the Zen master of boat repair. Don't get discouraged. You have a world full of fans that wish you well.
I just became a boat mechanic a year ago, I watched almost all your videos, gave me a huge head start..thanks
Congratulations! :)
Good on you. I hope you enjoy your new career.
Loved the "clear safety screen". Showing the grind, as well as the interesting stuff. That's commitment. Well done.
When will it feature on your Amazon store? We all want one !!!
It's already on there, can't you see it ?
@@stanpatterson5033 Too much snow on my glasses, it is winter down under in Antarctica.
They are made not to far from where I live.
Another way of drilling is to hammer in a dowel in the hole as a pilot to start with. When holesaw catches you don't need the dowell and it will be cut out. Love the series
Regardless of the length of the project, I am continually impressed with your ability to maintain a consistently high standard of workmanship.
Yes, good comment!
Hi Stu, Just a short note to say I appreciate that you don't hide or minimise the learning curve. A lot of people (both youtube and professionals) will skirt around the fact that they "wasted" time and money on an idea that didn't work. Any of us that do this type of work realise each job is different, and experience only gets you so far! I wish I had a dollar for every tool I've bought (or rented) that wouldn't do the job I bought it for! Good work. Regards, Michael.
Thanks Michael. I figure if I edit out the low points and the mistakes along the way they'd only be 30 second videos. ;)
From the viewers perspective,the boat is coming along great.
I'm not into boats at all, but I watch all your videos.
Keep up the good work..
Thanks Eric. :)
It's amazing to watch these old clips again and compare the progress. Nice job
I should go back and watch them myself for motivation. :)
Well done Stuart, i have always found that there is no such thing as a small job on a boat, any job has the potential to turn into a monumental task.
For sure, everything you think is going to be simple turns out to be huge.
Coffee and Dangar Marine - perfect Monday morning. Thanks, mate.
Enjoy. :)
Stew, you are so right about the psychological importance of staying aware of what progress you have actually have made when engaged in a long-term projects.
I must go back and look at some of the older videos soon. :)
@@DangarMarine "Frustration is the leitmotif in the lives of most men, particularly today - the frustration of inarticulate desires, with no knowledge of the means to achieve them. In the sight and hearing of a crumbling world, Apollo 11 enacted the story of an audacious purpose, its execution, its triumph, and the means that achieved it - the story and the demonstration of man’s highest potential. Whatever his particular ability or goal, if a man is not to give up his struggle, he needs the reminder that success is possible; if he is not to regard the human species with fear, contempt, or hatred, he needs the spiritual fuel of knowing that man the hero is possible."
Keep up the great work. You’ve got 106,000 people cheering you on!
mailformiller; so very true. Reminds me of a joke about a Great White Hunter and a little Pygmy. Great White Hunters got all the best equipment, gun carriers, camp staff etc. and they're tracking a huge bull elephant. Been tracking him for a week or so and was slowly getting closer. Was just about on him, getting ready to aim up and take the shot, comes thru a clearing and there's a little Pygmy standing next to the Bull Elephant whose obviously now dead. The Great White Hunter goes up to him and says "How did you manage to kill that??" The little Pygmy replies, "With my club." "What," says the Great White Hunter, astounded, "How bigs your club??" "Aw, about 500 members at last count." Said the Pygmy... ;-}
mailformiller If everyone of his viewers sent him $10 stu could buy another bigger trawler to fix up

LIsten, you have done an amazing job on this trawler! I have been so trilled watching these videos, I have watched most, if not all your videos, since the beginning of your channel. Thank you for introducing Australian comedy, Coopers, and renewed DIY spirit to this Southern, All-American!
It's turning out awesome, Stu! Boats are ALWAYS a million tiny little projects and it's easy to get disheartened, but, I see a WORLD of difference from the first video. I'm really, really enjoying the series!
Been there Stu, took three and a half years to build my boat and had periods of self doubt, even thought a tin of petrol and a box of matches would be an option....... but kept at it, finished and put 4000 hours on her before I sold it. Enjoyed every moment on the water, as you will, it takes time. Keep it up, I’m learning a lot from you.
4000 hours is a good return on your investment!
I cant believe that's the first time we've seen you lay down in submission. The amount of work you are completing at the rate you are doing it is still amazing. Your problem solving technique is macgyver mixed with professional fabrication, its so fun to watch and inspires me to take on bigger projects. Ask for some money, make some 25$ T shirts with your boat on it. Keep it up!!!!
Stu, just remember when you are at sea, you will be totally confident in your craft. By doing it properly (which means taking your time), you will KNOW she is totally seaworthy and not bodgy in any way. You are doing a great job mate, hang in there!
Thanks Matthew!
Brutally honest and forthright about your innermost feelings
Hi Stu, built a 41' steel yacht back in the late 90s and after five years working on her in a paddock in Gisborne, NZ, I bloody near chucked it away, so dropped her in the water and was able to carry on with a burst of fresh enthusiasm and finish her. The 5 years cruising the Pacific was worth it. Enjoy your videos. Cheers
A tight fitting wooden bung to pilot through was your answer for drilling that hole bigger a two minute job 👍🏾
Gotta admire your tenacity mate. Will be all worth it 👍
a tip for drilling larger holes with hole cutters in the same place, is to drill the required hole in a scrap peace of material and place over hole then fix in place like tack weld or in timber screw or glue then you have the a guide for the cutter to run in.dam site cheaper that renting mag drill and the like. hope this might help out in the future or for others.
We seem to have the same problem of setting ourselves on fire while using the grinder, I was lucky enough to by a pair of balck smithing chaps at our local flee market, so now when I remember to wear them I don't set myself on fire any more. I admire the fact that you always find a way to get the job done, using as much of what you have on hand but then sometimes renting special equipment which works well under special conditions and then going back to simply finding your own solution, your awesome : )
Thanks Adrien. :)
"new, clear safety guards..." LOL - good to keep sense of humor while working on the pavement! Thanks for sharing!
Ely Walton; yep, was good to see. I was a bit concerned when he started grinding and watching where those sparks were going, thought Stu was going to end up with roasted nuts... ;-}
Dont be so down stu, its looking great and I've watched and rewatched them over the past 6 months and I've watched almost all your old videos too
The stuff you say is "boring" I find fascinating. I'm really enjoying seeing the process as you find, confront, and resolve the various challenges involved in your project. Great stuff, Mate!
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying it. :)
I find myself looking everyday for an update and always miss the mark by a couple of hours. Great and keep it up Stu.
Thanks mate!
You and the kookaburra got the same barber?
@@rodneylee4026 it was a joke, you know humor? you can google it if you need help.
@@Will-W I figured as much but since his hair looks nothing like the kookaburra's, I didn't see any humor. I guess if you do that's great. Hahaha
The birds are cool!
@@Will-W I thought it was funny and the damn birds made a hell of a ending. I'd take a crap day down there over a good one in the hell hole I live any day. He really is in a beautiful corner of the world there.
I can see the resemblance.
You might create an Amazon Wish list for items that will help the trawler, allowing other people to get items off the list for the project.
Matthew Goodwin GREAT IDEA
As I've said before, you have an impressive work ethic. Especially considering the heat, dirt, grime, fumes, awkward positions. Not fun, but necessary. Thanks for sharing. I can see the progress. There is LOTS of it!
Thanks Tony!
great installment of boats gone wild....don't stress on it not being an exciting video. I like seeing all of what goes into the build, even the not so flashy stuff. Helps some of us get ready for our own projects and keep a realistic outlook on the work done and the work to be done. Thanks Stu!
Thanks mate, unfortunately this is a lot of the type of work that needs to be done, but the results are worth it. :)
Stay with it pal. We’re pulling for you, particularly those of us who are much older than you.
No one could possibly be older than I feel. ;)
Love watching the trawler restoration videos. It’s cool to see how far it’s come from the start. keep up the good work!
You have the same awesome guard I have on the grinder. I love mine. Never gets in the way and is indestructible. I've had that upgraded high performace guard on all my grinders since new. They have never caused any trouble what so ever. I love the little invisible, nonexistent and trouble free guards 😉
Absolutely loved the public gallery during the intro to this episode Stu, Kookaburra's are my all time favorite bird.
We have a mob living in our area and they are the most reliable harbingers of rain you could ask for.
When they have a chuckle we can be certain a drop of Adam's ale is on the way even if it is little more than a light drizzle days later.
Hey Stu, I like the relaxing position layer on the ground. Your man says "six months, what have you been doing ?" Don't let it get to you mate, you have to work to pay for the project, most of the time you are fighting up hill battles on your own and you still find the patience to make the vids for us. I think you doing a great job 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate!
Ah Stu not a bad solution welding a strip on to guide the hole saw, I have got over the problem by driving in a wooden bung and drilling though that to keep the saw centred. Love you pet Kookaburras mate.
I guess my main reason for going this way it that getting a wooden bung would have meant two hours of driving. I always use whatever I can on site when I can.
@@DangarMarine was there not a stick you could whittle down, it would not have to be accurate just solid
I commend your stamina for this job. On the face of it a few holes to drill but you rightfully took the time to get it right. A disproportionate amount of time and hard effort you might think but that's renovation work. The devil is in the detail and you can now move forwards knowing that you did not cut corners on quality. More videos please, I'm knackered after watching what was a test of endurance, time for a Tinny'!
Thanks mate. I'm really looking forward to seeing the transducers installed now those holes are finally cut.
Dude. I feel your pain when nothing is going right and you want to throw something! Keep chugging on! Loving your journey!
Keep at it Stu. We’re all rooting for ya. We’ve got your back man.
It is normal in that kind of long run restoration to have down moments , a beer or two should help ! You did great man dont give up ! at the end the smile you'll have lookin at all the work you done floating and cruising will worth every sleepless nights and gray hairs :) we are with you mate !
Thanks Alain! :)
Loving the comment on the perspex grinder guard lol
I was watching you welding, and was pleased at how much more confident you are now than way back in the beginning. When I saw the pipe welding part, I was wondering if you remembered the videos. Then you mentioned it. That was pretty cool.
With the hole enlargement, sorry the mag drill didn't work out. What a pain and waste of time! Glad the welded tabs worked out.
Keeping a list of things you have completed really DOES help keep the motivation going. Your buddy asking what you have done needs to come over and help you scrape, weld, tack, vacuum and paint with you. I bet he won't ask that again, once he sees how tedious it is.
I think your idea of getting the boat in the water is a good one. Motivation is HUGE with this kind of stuff. Buckle down and get 100% done below the water line done, then get it floating. That milestone will be good for the heart and soul.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. The little wood boat is child's play next to this. Once you are done with this, take a break and jump back on that, and you will get it done SO fast. You won't be over-thinking it now.
Hang in there, Stu! You are still making good progress.
It may not look like you've got much done but right now your rebuilding the foundation. That'll take the most time and won't be the most noticeable. But you will notice it when you're done, on the water and enjoying the boat and not worrying about or questioning the structure of the boat. And keep the good video's coming.
Thanks mate. Yes, I think most of the satisfaction of this work will be having confidence in the boat once it is floating again and not doubting it at all.
Never give up Dangar Stu! We are counting on you, we have to see it run again!
Also, think about this: It will likely be ready for this Australian summer.
Thanks mate. Yep, should be ready to go by spring. :)
I do not have a boat. But I do admire your skills & how you think things through. Thanks for your tour of Dangar Island & surrounds I viewed a few days ago. I find your videos to be quite absorbing. They absorb Time I should really be devoting to something else. I hope the remainder of the restoration goes easier than you may expect. Fingers crossed.
Thanks mate.
I just wanna drop in to say thank you for the video.
You're welcome mate. :)
Love your two little fiends 🙂
How do I give money to my absolute fave CZcams channel. “Your worth it”
There is nothing I would rather watch.... loving the work Stu. Big Shout out from the UK massive.
Thanks mate, glad you've been enjoying the vids. There are links on the channel page to Patreon and PayPal. :)
Well done Stu,all the frustration and effort will be rewarded.Just think about how good its going to be when its all finished and ready for its first run.
Nice to see some "real" welding!! To drill the hole larger you could hammer a wooden bung into the hole then that will take the guide drill and hole cutter will work. Those birds are brilliant buddies!!
You deserve a beer sponsor.
Hey Stu. I like the way you are up front about times when you are demotivated and feel like the job is too big, rather than pretend all is sunshine and roses. Good to see you still plugging away!
By the way, don't feel the need to apologise for finding ways to collect some extra coin as a spin off from all your CZcams projects. You put so much time, effort and money into it; you deserve to get something out of it all, even if it is just enough to help you keep going with out financial stress... anyone who thinks you are in any way selling out can take a long walk off a short pier!
Oh, gawd, that feeling of Plan 'A', nope, Plan 'B', damn, Plan 'C', aw nuts, Plan 'D', well finally! It's obvious you stay self-inspired by your successes - keep bangin' away, mate, you encourage others to do so as well!
Thanks Gordon!
I always love your videos. Great to see how other regular guys tackle every day problem-solving. If this was all done in big shiny premises with every tool available to man on hand, I wouldn't be watching it. I love seeing you think outside the box (there is no box) and arrive at the solution with what you had available to you.
And it's ok to ask for money. I mean, I haven't got any but apparently some viewers do :)
Man, what a project!! I appreciate your efforts and have learned a lot. Thanks!!
Thanks Eddie!
Keep up the good work mate. Could defo see you didn't want to get in the engine compartment. It can be overwhelming when a big project like this is still in pieces. Take it one day at a time and keep knocking items off the "to-do" list one at a time. Love to see the hard work you are putting in on the project. You got this.
Thanks mate.
I let out a little cheer when you got that hole saw through :)
Me too. :)
You are amazing, best of luck sincerely! Keep the faith, you’re doing an awesome job and hats off to you. Your boat is so incredibly nice and when you get it done finally, you’re going to be able to go anywhere you want anytime you want with confidence and style. It’s more work than any of us viewers can imagine and you are nailing it! Hang in there we are all behind you!
Do not give up. You are doing great. Just take 5 min once and a while to make a list of all tasks already completed...helps me when I feel like giving up :)
A year from now you'll have forgotten the down days stew. One day at a time mate and we are all rooting you on. This is better than TV for us but proper graft for you. Boat drinks. 👏🍻
Thanks mate. :)
I can feel for you doing this project alone, but you know we're here cheering you on. Like with most projects you take a few steps forward and then one or two back. It's all a learning experience. Just keep plugging away, It's going to get done. Can't wait to hear the sound of that Detroit humming along in the engine bay. Oh, and I think, your welds look good!
I can't wait to hear the Detroit fire up either!
There will always be the tough days on a big project like this. Chin up and keep going. Won't be too long and you will be sitting on the deck looking over the water with a nice cold one in hand! I had a rusty old yacht, so many of your tasks are reminders of what I also went through in trying to fix her up. Have to say you are doing a much better job than I did!
Haha! Your mate is out of his mind! I mean, I guess if you’re just looking at the outside you might think it’s all just a coat of paint, but damn man - this whole thing has been a giant lot of work. I’ve been trying to fix the steering on my tractor for weeks: wrong parts getting ordered, things frozen to each other, things breaking or not fitting right. This entire ordeal has been as much as ONE issue on this boat. I’m thinking about that rudder post. So yes Stu, you have every reason to feel proud of where you’ve come and the feeling of cranking her for the first time before a fishing voyage or just a trip is going to be amazing.
It's always nice to hear from someone who really appreciates how hard each step of the way can be. As you say, from the outside all you see if a coat of paint so it looks like a few days work, but the rudder post is a good example of what it takes along the way.
The best thing in the world is stepping back once its done, and say hell yea...i did that!
All great projects have stages that make you want to lay on the ground for a while. For every person that doesn't know where all your time has gone, and what progress has been made, there are a thousand on here that are enjoying following along. Long live the dream of a man and his boat.
With any project it's always a bunch of little projects that make the whole Project work.
If you look at the whole project it's daunting, but you break it down into little projects and little steps it's not so daunting of a task.
I used to build boats professionally and it's just a thousand little tasks that need to be done keep at it Stu
Thanks mate. Today is installing the transducers which should be a much more pleasant job. :)
@@DangarMarine I hope the install goes well for you my friend, installing transducers by yourself can be a real task particularly if they have to be lined up with the Keel so they read true
I also love the clear guards
Good work! I just bought an old fiberglass trawler. Some of the same projects going on here. Thank you for keeping me inspired.
Good luck with your trawler!
Good Afternoon from the North Essex Coast, UK.. That VHT paint I first used in the late 1960`s, it came from America in US quart ally pots, i chose banana yellow for my MK2 Zephyr 6 branch exhaust, was painted on, but as you say heat cured.. I left the exhaust for as long as i could before fitting to the cars 6 pot engine, fired it up to watch it "smoke" as the paint began to cure, but I gently touched one down pipe and left a finger print in the paint for as long as I owned it as it eventually baked on.. was good stuff then, so must be better now.. Oh, the tin it came in gave warnings of the paint containing "toluene" If I remember correctly..As an Engineer for most of my life, I kind of connect with your videos but never have had a boat, although live 30 metres from a great beach, but look forwards to each new video.. Thanks again.. (Ian) UK
It certainly does seem to have a great reputation. I'm glad Matt recommended it to me.
Holy shit, i cant believe its been 6 months!!! Good things take time. Youre on the home straight now
Yes, much longer than I expected....
@@DangarMarine its always the way, i bought my first boat back in march, with the intention of just tidying up the interior a bit over a few weekends.... ended up having to do way more than that. And ive only just finished now.🤣

Stu, you have worked your arse off. I know it's discouraging but you are worlds away from when you started. Keep the faith brother! You are closer to finishing than you ever have been.
Love the kookaburra. Keep going. Yes, it is work. The end product is going to be quite nice.
Thanks Drew.
This is one youtube channel that deserves patron and merch support...
Thanks mate!
@@DangarMarine hey did you see my question about the 150 johnson? Do I need to remove the drive shaft to pull the propeller shaft and assembly out? It's my first Johnson omc lower. Mostly mercs, volvo and Yamaha here in Maine.
Stu you see the boat every day so your perspective on progress may seem a bit slow because you have had time to adjust to your surroundings as youve gone along. Those of us who have followed your build think we see miracles every week and are amazed at how far you've gotten in such a short time. Keep the spirits up. Get your bird a splash guard 😁
Thanks Buck!
Don't know if anyone else mentioned this, has worked for me for enlarging a hole. Find a dowel or aluminium or hard plastic round stock the just fits thru the existing hole, use the new size hole saw and drill into the center of the dowel. Make the round stock longer that the hole saw, so it sticks out maybe 3/4" (19mm). This will guide the hole saw to start its cut centered over the old hole and allow the new hole saw to begin a cut, once this is started the hole saw should follow thru cleanly.
Fourth way to increase the predrilled hole: Drill a hole in a timber 2x4” the size you need. Get a mate to hold this timber over the hole where you want to drill. Lubricate the timber hole, and slowly start drilling your hole. When you feel you have some purchase in the steel, remove the wooden block and continue. Slowly.
I know exactly what you mean, i have been working for 4 months on our jacht, an stil its not finnished, keep up the good job, you'r doing great.
Thanks Frank, I hope your project is going well!
Hey Stu, another Grouse video as always. I've learned so much from your clear explanations and discussions of work processes. I Loved the Kookaburras.....doesn't get more Aussie than that. I bought my 30 foot steel yacht 7 years ago and have done 2 haul outs in that time.....could so relate to you laying on the ground and saying "I don't wanna do it"....laughed out loud. You really help to show how physically punishing/exhausting and difficult this kind of work is.....cramped quarters.....constantly contorting into a human pretzel....eating dust for breakfast, lunch and dinner....best fun ever......and the upside is ......it costs you a fortune!!...My last stint was 19 days straight....12 hour days......where you wonder if you'll ever get back on the water again. Stay the course Mate. You have made so much progress.....the Trawler is going to be Awesome when she's done. Loved the "clear angle grinder guards" too........sometimes a bit of a laugh dulls the pain.....Top Work
Your doing great, it Took me four years from buying my boat refitting her and starting to trawl with her
I can really see how it would take four years now, particularly if you were fixing everything before launching. I'm actually already thinking of doing a bigger boat, but next time I will know what I am up against and find somewhere cheap to do it so I can take my time.
@@DangarMarine yes I was lucky with my storage or I just couldn't of done the job, all I had left were the hull, engine beds, rudder tube and the gunwales everything else was renewed of refurbished, I used a little over 700 ltr of polyester resin
Stu, a pleasure to watch, as ever.
Good progress being made, so keep at it!
Thanks for sharing. 😉😎😀
Thanks Tony, slowly getting there!
Entrapped slag, my favorite type.
Clear grinder cover. Ha Ha Ha!! Love it
Love the view from your porch!
800 comments on one video, not a single troll 😎great work Stu 🍻
Re- the holesaw and magnet drill ..... it is so frustrating when a relatively easy job turns out to be so difficult....we feel your pain
Stu, I am feeling your frustration mate. A hell of a lot more work goes into this sort of project than ever meets the eye of the onlooker, nor is it envisaged at the outset (fortunately). Luckily you have a Vlog to refresh your memory when it all seems unending. You have covered a hell of a lot of territory in 6 months, although it does not seem that long to me, but then, I am an onlooker. Have a few days off, go get pissed or something. Chill out, "be happy", as the song says. Your doing OK. Cheers mate.
I grew up near Oshkosh Wisconsin, (USA). The Experimental Aircraft Association has their headquarters there. I'd guess more than 75% of home built aircraft projects are never completed. It isn't lack of skill or lack of money that grinds things to a halt. It's the lack of visible progress. The ones that do get finished have two things in common. First is a set time commitment, a certain time of day or week spent building. The other is a detailed log checking off build stages as they are completed. You don't just need it as part of the final airworthiness inspection, you need it for motivation to get that far.
I started making a list of jobs on the boat, but I made each job as small as I could so I could tick things off each day. Instead of "drill hole" I would have "look up shaft diameter" "buy drill bit" "Mark holes" etc so the progress towards the end goal could be tracked.
Hey Stu i have used a piece of ply or similar as a guide for the hole saw, you bore a hole in the ply with the hole saw then you hold the plank over the space you want to cut out and it keeps the saw pretty much centered for you.
what y always do whit a hole saw that has to dril over a smaller hole is just use a wood board whit a hole in it..guyding it on the outside, Also when drilling steel whit this hole saws is starting it, an then drill a 5 mm hole in the groove, this will speead up the drilling a lot. Nice progress Stu! the smallest jobs always uses up the most time.
Stu, You are doing fine. Any job on a boat takes longer than expected and that goes double for a steel boat! You can resharpen those holesaws using a thin wheel on your angle grinder. Be sure to use the clear shield so we can watch. Slow speed and liberal lubricant when using a holesaw on steel. If it's smoking you're too fast or not enough lube. That magdrill seems to have a weak magnet. A little paint on the steel shouldn't make it slip. I'd ask for my money back. There is a sound deadening product that applies like paint and cleans up with water. Once it dries it will hold paint or just leave it exposed. It is oil and fuel resistant, too. I used it about 15 years ago in my engine room. The name of the product is Silent-Running. I sprayed it with the same equipment I spraypainted my boat with and it was fast and easy. Just spray water through the gun when finished and you're done! Don't be discoureged, thats a daunting task you took on! Reward is knowledge and experience gained. The restored trawler is a bonus you will enjoy for years! See you next week.
Thanks mate. Yes, was a bit hard to control the speed of the drilling with that hand drill. I only really like drilling steel in my press. I was really surprised the magnet in that drill was so weak. I have a small dial gauge that I can possibly remove without turning the magnet off. This was nowhere near that strong. Thanks for the tip on the Silent-Running, I'll look it up!
Stu next time you are faced with the hole saw dilemma, you can always try and jam in a tapered wooden plug, or even hole saw one out of ply and Sika it in, just got help guide the arbor (doesn't have to be metal), cheers.
Is it odd to say that I binged watched every episode of your rebuilding of this trawler? Not a project I would undertake, but great work so far.
Thanks mate. That's a big effort to watch them all!
Feels like you've come along to me brother! We're all out here rooting for you! 👍👍
Just became a patreon of dangar marine. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Martin, much appreciated!
Step by step, Stu, well done! I always enjoy your videos!
you are doing great thank u for showing us i look for your videos
Boat owning is so much clean fun. Pretty soon you'll be out there on the briny deep, chugging along like a Southern Ocean fishing boat. My take was, the work now to make it easier to fix then is a worthwhile pain in the ass.
