- Part 9 of building the GT27 - a 27' long, roomy, trailerable river cruiser designed by Jacques Mertens.
We began the build in late July 2018. Part 9 documents the installation of some of the interior cabin walls, insulation, windows, and roof mounted ventilation fan, as well as trailering the boat 1300 miles to a new home.

Like most of us watching your build, we’re waiting for the next installment.
You built something incredibly beautiful here. Oh yes, and you built a great boat too.
Nice work guys!!! AllthebestRoy
I just binge watched your videos. This was truly amazing. I’ve thought it would be cool to do a build like this, but after seeing all that’s involved I’ll stick to my sailboat.
I'd really like to see more, thanks for posting!
Amazing craftsmanship and so great to see this as a family project, God bless🙏
Hope you're getting settled in at your new home and there will be time to finish the boat. Just finished watching all 9 videos. Very impressive work. Can't wait to see Not Too Shanty in the water.
Yay! Checked in and happy to see a new upload - Thank You!
Looking forward to part 10.
Glad to see y’all are back was wondering if you would be back
The boat is looking so good! You might have to add a heater to it now that you live up north.
Thank you for the video's, I have finally decided to get started thanks to these. I was following your posts on bbc, but I was still unsure if I could actually build it, but this has inspired me.
Randall, unless you definitely need this much space, you might consider the smaller GT23 version. It's shocking how large and how much labor the GT27 requires. Ours is coming out well, but WOW has it been exponentially more work than any of the previous boats I built before.
Thank you for the update. That looked like some terribly hot and humid working conditions for awhile there. That houseboat is looking fantastic. What a great family project. Best wishes for continued success.
It’s good to see y’all are still at it. Been enjoying your videos and love the boats name!
Great to get s bit more news. At the last episode, your were thinking of selling and getting something more roomy.
I am looking forward to the usage side of the project, and seeing it in operation.
Keep up the good work.
Love this boat build. Great family ❤. Let me know if you ever decide to sell the boat.
after a long time ,a new video . i was waiting so long for it thanks .
I've been wondering what happened, it makes sense now. Fantastic work on the project. Hope all is well,God bless
From eastern Minnesota, welcome to the neighborhood!!!
The boat is looking good. Great name.
Good luck in Wisconsin, plenty of boating opportunities up there.
I used to go fishing in northwest Wi. In the Danbury area.
Nice boat! Very spacious 👍🏻
Well done, great effort. Good luck on the new venture.
Awesome. Looks great
Nice work ❤
Absolutely amazing effort! Inspiring to see such great care and craftsmanship! I'm looking forward to the finished product.
Good luck in WI! Happy winter. But western Wisc can put you on a few bodies of water, not the least of which,the Mississippi! I’ll be watching the finish.
Yes I grew up on the Mississippi in Dubuque, IA. Now we're just a short distance away from it again living in River Falls, WI. This boat will be perfect for that river.
@@LiveDontWatch I grew up north of St Louis, where the Missouri and Illinois converge. Spent many hours on the river above lock 27, the last on the river. It’ll be a great River boat. Beware of the rolling tug wakes!!
Loving your build for years, involving all of your family and it’s looking fantastic. Was wondering how heavy it will be at least 7000 lbs with tanks filled , loaded with your motor. Enjoy your adventures together.
Yes, I wondered about the towing logistics. Having had a similar size boat in the past, it was very easy to get to the towing limits, and not getting away from standard braking systems and into the expensive breakaway load area.
The boat should come out at or under 6000 I think. It's around 4000 now plus 2000 for the trailer.
Great to see all of you back at it … What software do you use for you video editing and where do you get your background music. … keep up the great work.
I edit in Adobe Premiere Pro and I use the royalty free music library on CZcams.
do you have a video showing the construction of the outboard bracket?
That's a commercially ordered/welded aluminum outboard bracket but the installation is shown in an earlier video.
Could you please let me know the model of the Anhui Maygood windows you ordered?
It's very difficult to say for sure. I ordered them three or more years ago and it took over a year to get them to close the deal. I don't know the exact model number but they're a gray tinted acrylic insulated model, about 19" h x 32" l or so.
Bought the same plans several years ago and then stumbled across a Yukon Delta at a good price. I told the wife I couldn’t build as much boat for the price. Still looking to build one though. Looking forward to seeing you float this one.
