I’ve been watching your resurrection of Renko from the beginning with a great deal of interest, and no little nostalgia. When I was a kid (mid-century, more years ago than I care to admit) we had a steel work boat-cruiser style, GMC 6-71-which we ran summers as a deep-sea sport fishing charter boat in the Pacific off the Columbia River. I have fond (ahem) memories of first resurrecting and converting it to certify as a USCG passenger-carrying vessel, and then spending winters in constant maintenance. I envy your needle gun, plasma cutter, welder, battery-powered grinders and screwdrivers, paint rollers-we had chipping hammers, wire wheels, power-drill hole cutters, hacksaws, covered floating drydock & sandblasting (when necessary), all-hands 24-hour marathon painting sessions-with brushes-to cover bare steel before it rusted. Of course, computer-based navigation and electronics were simply unimaginable. Not trying to say you have it easy, just that having worked in the stone age I have so much appreciation for what you can do now. I think Renko is a very slick little general work boat and overnight cruiser. I admire your hard work and sensible decisions obviously based on long and hard-won experience, and I wish you years of satisfaction and enjoyment on board.
You mentioned Sika getting everywhere, it's true it does. I used to be a sales rep for Sika and the one simple trick we used to teach was a good squirt of dish soap and water in a spray bottle. Spray it on unwanted sikaflex and you can wipe it away with a rag. If you want to smooth out your job, spray the job and your hand and you can move it about and it won't stick to you. Sounds to simple to be true but it works. Love your work, its great to fill in the blanks that an automotive guy doesn't know about the marine world
Engine room mood lighting absolutely crushes me, outside the fact that the hatch window was a stroke of fun genius......Eight thumbs up for that Detroit Heart-O-Gold getting the respect it deserves and of course cheers!
Stu , love the mood lighting on the green beast machine. 😉💯💯 I've always taken a piece of flatbar wider than my patch , stand it on its side and place a couple of tack welds on it . Your patch can't drop through the hole and you have something to hold on while welding it in. 😉
Great progress Stu, guess if it can hold water, water well find it. I still remember the first time you were below deck and showed all the little holes letting in the light in the deck. Fun times, Jeff in LA USA
This was a weird metamorphosis of Dangar and Brupreg. Bit like eating two birthday cakes at once.... only knew for sure it was a Dangar Stu video when I saw the Coopers 6 pack wrapper on the hardstand:)
Its good to see your getting some major projects knocked out! It's even more amazing to see that you actually got Damian to work instead of talking... lol :)
I am just starting to watch, expecting some serious work with a smattering of humor thrown in from time to time. You guys just don't disappoint! Not even a minute in, and I've got to stop laughing before I continue... Nice "logo" during the needle gun exercise... LOL. 🤣
Did you put caulking around the new cabin/engine room hatch? Might want to add a CO2 detector in the cabin, just in case engine fumes come into the cabin!
Another great effort Stu. Renko is looking fantastic and it must be awesome for the four of you to be together getting the boats moving forward. Thanks so much for sharing. Home schooling with the kids and Dangar Marine. Two real positives for my day. Enjoy the journey Stu, Vic, Damo and Jess
Me and a mate were planing to road trip east to go meet Stu and check out the beautiful trawler but covid destroyed our plans. Hoping soon we can get this plan off the paper and into action. Love your work Stu ♥️
l really like that hatch glass....Looking into the engine bay......Thank mate on the update video.....An l am gonna have a super cold BEER....Cheers....!
Sorry Stu I was up ther the other day checking the progress on both vessels and I spoke with Jess and all I could picture is danger mouse when I seen ya boat all tho I'm glad I came and checked em out keep up the hard work and shenanigans we will be watching ;)
Mate, your knowledge is out of this world. If you ever choose to move, please relocate to South Florida here in the USA. Huge boating community and there are not that many trustworthy mechanics, especially diesel mechanics and Honda mechanics. You would make a killing here and be a multi-millionaire in no time. :)
Very nice and a LOT of work. I think a curtain over the window looking into the engine ‘room’ would be a nice addition - might lesson the sound coming through the glass too. Home away from home.
If you want a permanent solution for the hatch cover swing by any place that does the truck bed lining , they should not charge to much to do the hatch and most offer colors other than black. I tried the home use spray can stuff it works but will not stand up to foot traffic. Boats looking good Stu!
Damo wearing every bit of PPE available on the market .... Stew, Jaws singlet and bare feet 😂😂😂....love it
come on he has his safety sunglasses on.
@@terrysmall1421 hehe , love the old school approach...
Wasn’t that a Paws singlet?

Stu's safety boots are top notch! Shame he left them back at Dangar!!
"... get a friend to do it!" Best safety advice ever.
Dual wielding needle guns you legend!
Don't worry about grinding without a guard, just have a friend do it! 😂

There is some proper macho metal work there! Vest and no shoes, proper ppe! Love it!
Damo your artistic skills with the grinder are second to none... so juvenile.... awesome 😂👍
I’m currently up to three cock and balls on renko so far. I have a rule of atleast one per day of work on that boat

I got my first boat in March and just got the 86 mariner 50hp running again and your videos were definitely the reason for it. Much appreciation!!

Don’t worry about showing the boring stuff all very interesting to watch sitting at home. Thanks for sharing.
What a view from the new hatch! Night, night Detroit.

What a cool project and huge undertaking , you guys are doing a FANTASTIC job . Cheers
Luvin the "safety flip-flops" while using plasma cutter, ah wait, scratch that... no flip-flops!! 🙄🤣🤣🤣
Dangar Boots - the choice of the professional
@@TheCaptScarlett HE IS A WORRY, Capt Pegleg Stu
Those are Australian safety shoes.
The channel name needs to change to Danger Marine 🤣
Looks nice and cozy down below, everything seems to be coming along fine. Great job. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
That's cool, I never have been able to visualize your cabin layout from previous videos. Great tour, good luck with next steps!
"Easiest wat to address safety issues is to get a mate to do it" Cracked me up!
The banter between you 2 is great! Love the work guys! Bring out the big flathead 😂😂😂
Stu & Dame in one video, wow it's like having two birthdays
I am just starting to watch, expecting some serious work with a smattering of humor thrown in from time to time. You guys just don't disappoint! Not even a minute in, and I've got to stop laughing before I continue... Nice "logo" during the needle gun exercise... LOL. 🤣
looking good stu !!
Renko isn't looking too bad either 😉
Looking good Stu. I like how the cabin turned out and the mood lighting on the Detroit. Very cool man.
Wow that's a great job you have great friends it's going to be a whole new boat when you get done
Did you put caulking around the new cabin/engine room hatch? Might want to add a CO2 detector in the cabin, just in case engine fumes come into the cabin!
CO detector... Monoxide vs Dioxide
Yes , I think that would be imperative, achievable and not expensive....
You smell the exhaust from a Detroit…it’s NOT colorless or odorless
@@shrdinc hahaha,, you got that right,, couple of sniffs would be enough,,

You're going to have a new vessel! Great job.
Epic that hatch is a great addition
So he can easily see when the spring has nearly fully unwound.
Good fun, good friends, good progress.Keep up the good work.

Having a glass hatch between your bed and the Detroit says a lot about you Stu!!! It started my day with a laugh :-)
Yep, it says the hatch was free! :)
Nicely planted totem on the prow of the pre-sanded hull. Love the thumbnail. Keep it up!
Coming along very nicely Stu!
Every one needs to pull the curtains in the morning to a beautiful big old Detroit diesel, ahhh the view.😁
She's going to be brand new when your finished. Nice work, well played mate.
Wow, you really do have a beautiful view of the Detroit!
Love the no shoes in shorts while plasma cutting on the rail Safty First! lol
The ship Renko is looking good. I won't recognize it when you are done. Great job Stu.
Awesome! Great video Stu.
Wow, those needle guns make quick work of that!! That was a pile of work once again and the berth looks cool! Thanks for sharing!
The only channel in which my interest has never wavered.
Nice hatch you can open and listen to the Detroit purring as you sleep.
Great progress in a short time! Cabin looks great!
Renko is looking better and better Stu! Looking forward to the new paint.
Nice job on the cabin! One more thing to mark off the list!
Lots of progress stu. Really enjoying the vids
Nothing like a good friend to help move a project along.
Looking good. Can’t wait for the next update.
Sorry Stu I was up ther the other day checking the progress on both vessels and I spoke with Jess and all I could picture is danger mouse when I seen ya boat all tho I'm glad I came and checked em out keep up the hard work and shenanigans we will be watching ;)
As always great work and interesting to watch…I enjoyed the wind up key😂…be safe…
Looking good Dangar Stu
Very comfortable cabin now. Ready for around the horn trip
Woooo it’s a family show
loved all the little jobs Stu,gonna look nice when you finish,take care and stay safe
Good work sir ! ! ! ... getting back to "zero" but a new and improved zero.🤠👍🏼
I love it how you all team up. Friends
You have convinced me to at least put up a framed picture of a Detroit Diesel. The see trough window is amazing!
Looking great man! love the playfulness between you two.
You timed your trip really well with NSW lock down! Looks like you will be staying up there a couple more months Stu!
Nice work guys!!!
I love your videos, Hopefully one day I´ll a gritty boat owner like you
Stu, you are pretty brave using the plasma cutter with bare feet. Glad you didn’t get burned.
So impressive Stu. As usual great work!
Beautiful site to go to sleep looking at the Detroit every night 👌
Like the video’s Stu, keep up the good work.
As ever love the videos, keep up the hard work
Looking good Stu. A bit surprised there were no ending remarks aimed at Brupeg after the comments Dameon makes in their videos!
Cabin looks amazing.
Looking great.
Luv Ya "WorkBoots" Guys!
Interesting work with the needle gun there😀
Lots being done. Full steam ahead.
Nah. That should be full CLOCKWORK ahead.
I was waiting for you to give Damien back with a good prank or something for that wind up key, You can't just let him walk, common now Stu !!!
Thank you

looking Good Bro , Enjoy Bunderbrg Glad ya Not locked down ENJOY
Good progress mate. Plasma cutters are the goods hey. Sure beats a grinder for a lot of that kind of work. Thanks for video, stay safe, and have fun!
Awesome video Stu. We could watch you watch paint dry and it would still be interesting :D
That needling seems like a job well suited for sandblasting.
Looking good stu. Ol renko gone be a beaut when she's finished. Topped off with stainless gone be nice
progress is being made.
Very nice and a LOT of work. I think a curtain over the window looking into the engine ‘room’ would be a nice addition - might lesson the sound coming through the glass too. Home away from home.
Bravo Gentle men.😊
Looking good 👍
Great vid guys 👍🏻
Enjoyable video cabin looks great
You have great balance. I would have fallen off 32 times already.
Love that tune at 0:45.
Certainly don't have to worry about getting sparks down in your boots. Lol. Love the porthole to the engine from the bedroom. Very romantic.
Love the “Big flat head”!!
Hey Stu, while you're doing all the work on the stern bullwork, do think you would put in an access gate for a dive platform?
Hah, love the flat head "screwdriver".
If you want a permanent solution for the hatch cover swing by any place that does the truck bed lining , they should not charge to much to do the hatch and most offer colors other than black.

You guys are on fire!
