- It is a little daunting taking a boat out on your own for the first time, in this video I do just that! The 24 year old boat I renovated still has a few problems.
Thank you for watching

"Your gonna need a bigger boat". Sorry couldn't resist 😁
Little tip with your backup engine mate . Run the in a fixed straight line and use the main engine as a rudder . Save u sitting over the stern
That’s a great tip one of which I’d never heard, thank you Steve!!
@@AirbornePirates it works well mate when i used to give my backup a run somtimes i just tightened the tiller so it would stay fixed and tried steering the main engine as rudder and it worked great mate. That was on my warrior out in morcambe bay 👍🏻
Mate l rmmbr going to check it out at the yard, you've been busy!!
60horse is plenty & the little Merc to troll with is a cracker! Dunno if youve got oars or not, me & a mate broke down & rowed about 11-12km in the dark, past 4 reefs..long yarn, but lm glad we had oars!
Well done man.
Brilliant little boat and british made fantastic
What does ‘British made’ have to do with anything?
@@simon0044 The boat was made in Britain.
@@carguy2660 is that supposed to be a good thing? All smells a bit brexity in here
@@simon0044What a clown 🙄
As others have said, very cool boat. Good to see it running and on the sea. Now let's find some great whites!
Nice to see you getting familiar with your boat, every boatie needs to go on many solo missions!
Boat looks fantastic, lot's of fun, refreshing video to wake up to.
Great boats fast and capable I’ve been in some rough weather around Jersey always got me home safely trips to the
Minkes a 11 mile run 😊
I came for the camping i'm still here for the boating!!
Awsome that help with your search 😁🇬🇧
That was fantastic, great little boat, the views' are priceless. Happy boating.
Next stop Great White. Classic scenery.
Really good ...
Mrs is from there,wants to move back one day, dunno how you stand that weather. Nice boat.
I would fix the steering then keep forgetting to turn it the right way 😂 looks amazing, what a place to stay
Loving your work and welcome to boating and no more spare cash
Mate you are so bloody lucky to have all that on your doorstep.
Brilliant mate
Looking forward to see you free diving the wreck .👍
I spoke with Manx Utilities mate, you are OK to flush the engine. Washing for cosmetic purposes is another thing altogether, but for maintaining your engine - you're good!
Thanks mate! I did wonder
Looks like fun especially with the steering, you'll live and learn when concerning things that can go wrong ...Thanks for sharing ✌️👨🚒👩🚒💯
Loving your content, but get that steering sorted, it would do my head in. Stay safe all the best.
Beautiful
Say GDay to Jenny when you pass Glencairn at. the corner of Tent Road for me. Cheers from Western Australia.
I certainly will! 👌
Great vid - nice to see your appearance on regional TV the other night too 👍
Thank you! Weather has kept us busy 🚒
Hats off to you guys - dangerous times 👏
Brilliant video mate. Lovely boat and sharing of the experience. Please keep it up.
You have done a great job on the boat, well done and happy sailing.
Boats lookin good even if it's not sure which direction its suppose to be goin in 👍🦈
Brill vid love the boat buddy
Looking great! Many more adventures to come🤞💪
I got part way through and asked about the left right issue with the wheel and you instantly mentioned it 😂
With this great scorching heat I hope you ain’t gonna need a bigger boat.
How jealous am I that you live with that view? 100% lol.
That bay looked so serene. Great seeing you out on the water taking Charlie Buoy for a ride. However you had me sold when you mentioned exploring a shipwreck! I can't wait to see that footage if you show it.
Thank you! There’s over 100 shipwrecks off the island so I can’t wait
@@AirbornePirates OMG! That's going to get some great footage. Will you be exploring the wreck or actively looking for any potential treasure?
Appreciate you are only just getting set up with the boat, a vid on general costs would be great. Mooring fees, potential fuel costs and any licence costs 👍
Mooring costs £400 per year 👌 I don’t have any licenses 👌 insurance £80 p year for boat
@@AirbornePirates You don't need a boat licence? They (govt) brang it in the late 70s $2 per yr..fine.
Now you need lessons, boat gets a rego no...safety evidently, revenue more likely. Then if you wanna dive with tanks!!!
@@baabaabaa2293 Not here dude! is this USA?
@@AirbornePirates Naa mate, Australia.
Used to be able to do what you wanted, lve always lived near the beach & was always in the water, spearing catching dinner etc. Slowly but surely in it all come.
Dad was a deisel fitter, made his own tanks, made a filling station out in the shed (too far away to get em filled every wk). Saw plenty of dead Noah's, caught for their teeth & chucked back in.
A Right Whale had died & attracted a school of big dogs (little 8-9ftrs too) but blokes turned up in boats & hopped on the whale, While these things are having a picnic.
Rapid Heads SA 20-25yr ago..try have search, some of the footage is scary.
TV stations said a few New Australians had been fined for climbing on the whale, lucky they weren't Temporary Australians!
Hope this licences for everything doesn't creep in over there.
Enjoy the channel, lm as curious as you as to what you'll find.. esp if you keep getting our weather!
Good looking craft,... congrats. Quick observation though,... having a mate on his Seadoo "hooning about" whilst you're hunting is probably not a great help. 🙂
I'll admit, I also have my own years of hooning about... It's fun, but it's got a very limited life.
Have you never seen Jaws 2? :) Thanks Jim!
@@AirbornePirates I've seen all the "good" JAWS movies so many times , I'm embarrassed to even guess at a number,...
Nice to see you enjoying your boat, really great. What sort of range on average would you get out of your main engine ?
Hi Arch, I've yet to explore but could get to Scotland or Ireland on it.
@@AirbornePirates Thanks for the reply, that’s quite some distance. If the Great Whites venture to the UK, I think there’s a very good chance they’ll be somewhere off the western coast of Scotland. It’d be interesting to see you take the boat up in that direction, beautiful coast.
Are you gonna have a crack at some chumming in sept/oct? Could be prime time if there are any large sharks in the area. Hopefully osearch are still coming in 2023.
I’m on holiday then unfortunately so it’s looking like 2023 ops
I’m in ny, oh, no, Irvington, newark
Remember my first solo ! So nervous but soon got the confidence, my biggest fear was the experienced guys might be watching! 🤣🤣
Just found your channel as was searching 12v wiring videos.. You have some great content.
Would it not be better to locate your aux outboard on port side, to counter balance 1 person on the helm ? Just a thought..
Good job on the refit of the Warrior though.
Yes Carl I would totally agree with that, much better on the port side, in fact most of the warriors in my harbour have them on that side
Wow, very nice, where is that ?
Isle of Man 👍
That long shaft mate the 6hp spear engine
Yes long shaft on the warrior 👍
What state of tide can you launch and land from there mate?
2 hours before high and 2 after 👌😎
Wouldn’t leave that second engine in salt water.
6hp OR 60hp?
I’m trying to gather if I buy a 9.9 outboard if that will be enough for a small boat in the uk sea
60hp bud
How did you correct your steering?
I haven’t yet, I believe it’s just at the console (cables in back to front) very simple
Have you ever camped out overnight on your boat?
I’d love to! This year hopefully Henry
