It Took my Father 15 years of weekends to complete a 42' cutter! He circumnavigated the world twice and was on his third Go around when He Passed at 92 years of age! You are an Inspiration for many Doug! Thanks for sharing!
What Doug brings to the table, is not just a great project, but inspiration, enthusiasm, focus and team building at it best! What skills by a Senior, He humbles many of us. Absolutely awesome!!
Ive been watching the SVSeeker for several years over the various colabs and builds down to the actual launch day and crunch leading up to getting the boat ready and transported. It was really cool to see them show up on your series, the entire team that worked on the seeker deserved to be here!
Have you ever seen the channel about the British man rebuilding the old sailing yacht "Tally Ho"? It's fascinating. He and some volunteers use world class woodworking/blacksmithing/sailmaking skills to bring this yacht back to its magnificent beauty.
@@olliefoxx7165 YES!! Another great series, in suit there is another young guy restoring a old offshore oil rig lifeboat, named Orla, into a floating home. This college grad bought it with his life savings after failing to get into the naval construction industry and instead went into documentary creation. Since getting it he has been dumping everything into the solo rebuild, and has been working on his career when planning/filming/editing/narrating a series around its progress. He is about 1 year in and mostly still stripping it down, removing the old life-boat stuff to get the most floor space possible while still keeping it a floating vessel. He pulled the old massive diesel engine/captains chair/controls/crew seating so i dont know his propulsion plans... but it could just be something he gets towed when needed and said he plans to have it almost permanently moored. In the latest update he is working on paint, fixing fiberglass body work, and reattaching trim, windows, and tow/mooring cleats. Def worth checking out, hope you like it!!
@RCichard Thanks for the suggestion! I assume the channel name is "Orla". Will look it up, it sounds interesting. I've always wanted a houseboat and to live on the water so this might be inspirational. 👍✌️
I’m blood decedent Crusader/ Knights of the Templar.... I’m pretty much a Pirate by Blood. Little unknown fact: the cross bones and skull other known as the Jolley Roger were the bones of John the Baptist when Crusaders killed Herod and took John the Baptist Back after Herod killed John. The Harod kept his bones as a trophy because John Baptized Jesus himself so his bones were worth something like a holy relic. Crusaders were the very 1st Pirates and the famous pirate flag was John The Baptist! The Crusaders killed Romans and English for centuries because they betrayed God’s law and the peace treaty between Christian/Jews and Tyrants that only cared about conquering and control. I would be a pirate if ask too! Long live John the Baptist, long live God! Take No Quarters!
I knew guy in Lido Beach,NY during the 1970's who built a really nice sail boat in his front yard.I heard that in the early 1980's that he,the family,and the boat moved to south west Florida and was happy sailing in his DIY boat in the Gulf of Mexico.Good for him!
He has passion. You just have to find something your passionate about, and rearrange your environment to fit that passion. Maybe your school classes aren’t doing it. But there are a lot of external programs at schools that you could do. Or you could come up with an idea and get your school to fund it. If it’s building boats, talk to your physics teacher. If it’s video games, talk to your computer science or software teacher. You make it happen. And then you own it. And that goes on your resume and makes you look good and people want you because because you can make things happen.
He started it with his wife, when he got divorced I was really worried for him. The progress came to a grinding halt. Almost went out to help a couple times but life didn't allow it. He always allowed help but never really asked. One day he puts out a video for help making the boat and little by little more and more people came. He met another gal and made a lot of project. I must have watched the first 4 years of his videos. I had to stop because he started adding background music to the videos which made them unpleasant to watch. Glad hes doing well.
I just found this channel watching the guy build his 500,000-gallon swimming pool. Little did I know that I would be watching Doug in this Series. I've been to his house a couple of times. Walked the deck and asked questions. I wish that I would have known that he grew up in Brownsville, TX. I grew up in Tulsa and went to college in Brownsville.
Back in the 60s there was a guy who lived in Costa Mesa, California that built a large boat in his yard, it was huge. It was a real trip moving it to the water. Best of luck with your project!
You know when people ask: “How long will that take and how long will it take to build the boat?” I just don’t think about things like that. I used to work under deadlines and such, and they’re great for corporations but for having fun and enjoying yourself, and when you got to take the time to learn then you need time to do that. Thank you Sir!
Rider tho when you doing something that you never done before, (I’m pretty sure this is his first ship) you might put ridiculous dateline since you never have an experience on it. And the problem with it, we as human psychologically tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten. The meaning behind the quote above he just want feel enjoy doing it, feel satisfactions each of details he done everyday. So the journey while building it more fun rather than stressful think about dateline. Remember, “slow is smooth, smooth is fast”.
"...too old for that too ... " Are you freaking kidding me?! LOL 68 year old era veteran of two wars and I ain't freaking too old for anything! C'mon man! Get a grip and know that life doesn't end at 60, it's just beginning. As long as all your parts are working, the plumbing will too. (Belly rolling with laughter). Enjoyed this video.

This is so cool, I love when people drop the fear of judgement from society and others and do what makes them truly happy. Good luck on your amazing project !!
That is a great video. Inspirational. I did a bare hull refit of a steel cutter, and many other marine projects, but this just speaks to why youtube is amazing. These store do not get lost if you film them and share. Others will enjoy and become inspired.
You have done some incredible work to build a boat like that. I live along Lake Michigan. Years ago a guy built a big boat out of mostly steel. He was a retired ship builder. About six years he finished it. He was about a hundred feet from the water where it was built. he dug a channel to float his ship out into the lake. Everything went as planned until he hit a sandbar about a block out into the lake and got stuck. I have no Idea of what it cost him to get it off the sandbar but it took days with big tug boats. We had another guy who took the top off an old station wagon and mounted it to his boat that was about twenty feet long. When he launched it the boat flipped over. Just a couple of boat stories from living along the lake for over 70 years. Good luck with your ship though !
@Jim Morrison I am only 45 and I already reached that age. I would be happy with just one fat ugly wife with the same goals in life. Pretty young ladies in bikinis would only get in the way. out at sea.
Yeah that’s not true buddy. When you get to a certain stage in life you realize girls in bikini isn’t everything in life, and that it’s nothing more than an obstacle that keeps you from doing the things you truly didn’t know you enjoyed.
That is simply brilliant. As I'm watching I was thinking that he must not live in an HOA neighbourhood, lol. When I was a kid an Englishman built a ferro-cement yacht behind our backyard. My twin brother and I often helped with simple tasks like threading steel wire through the chicken wire frame. It would be great to be Dougs neighbour, watching the builds progression. Would love to see her when she sails.
Ipe' Aka, Brazilian Walnut. I worked at a hardwood flooring distributor for 12 years. This hardwood is so heavy and so dense, it sinks in water as most woods would float. It's almost like concrete. Anyways love the video, you are such a humble man, very inspiring as well.
A man and his wife in Rockport Texas built a Shrimp boat along about the same lines and size. They made it so the 2 of them could shrimp by themselves as soul crew. It was like this, just a wonder of a personal goal that a person can do by themselves. I applaud you sir and that’s a great part of Americanism ingenuity.
Doug been following you on this boat since you had the hull plate delivered. Absolutely love what your doing. I have wondered how the lightweight bus windows could possibly hold up to large heavy waves out at sea . And are you considering putting solar panels on the roof of the cabin? That's a nice big service area to collect both electricity and solar hot water .
I think it would be awesome if you gave us a live update. Go visit the event & show us if the boat will float or sink. I would also love to see you rocking some pirate looks.
That's awesome! My neighbors would have called The Village on me to see if I had a permit as soon as I walked out the front door with a hammer in my hand! Haha
This guy is the most straight forward speaker I've ever seen. The clutter in language binds it up. That's why it's overused in sales, politics, and legal fine print.
Youre like some videogame adventure! Living breating ship. Everything has a story on it! Oh the places youll go and things youll see! The adventures youll have! I love it! I would love to come for an adventure and scuba dive off of it. Like the starship enterprise! How are you going to get it to water?

How cool is this, some people are so talented.
1:37 "...I'm looking around at the world and people are doing fantastic things and it's not me.... so I decided to go big."
What a quote.
Agree! Glad you like the episode!
Creative improvisation is the height of ingenuity. You got that covered.
His wife stays inside and plays that song “the captain of her heart” on repeat while drinking cocktails
Now he needs to build a giant above ground pool around his new toy

jesse wilson haha fantastic get the shovels
That actually would be a sight to behold
“Cheap like I am” says the guy spending 350k to build a boat

John C. How are you going to compare this piece of shit to that?
as one who has enjoyed the satisfaction of building rather than buying-this boat is the coolest thing ever.
Thank you for the inspiration. I feel like anything is possible! Create away! I love what I’m watching! 👍💕🤜🤛
Absolutely!! Thank you for watching! Cheers-Guy
“I looked around the world and people were doing cool things...and it’s not me”. I’ve had this exact thought numerous times every day of my life.
UPDATE! The boat is IN THE WATER!!!!
wow, I just saw the video, can't wait to see the boat on water!!!!
I think it would be awesome if you gave us a live update. Go visit the event & show us if the boat will float or sink.
I would also love to see you rocking some pirate looks.
@@ijustrambo We are considering it for sure! We're in Canada so travel to the US is still not the easiest, but we will give updates for sure.
@@CoolestThing definitely go live
September 11, 2021 Muskogee port you will be able to tour it.
The way this guy likes to add function art into his project reminds me alot of Horazio Pagani
Master designer, engineer and builder, Excellent!
Something epic about a guy building a big boat in his back yard!
That's awesome! My neighbors would have called The Village on me to see if I had a permit as soon as I walked out the front door with a hammer in my hand! Haha
The very best of luck - determination will get you to your objective.
God Bless you brother. Oh, by the way, screw deadlines. The word “dead” is in there for a reason. Happy sailing...
This guy. He is THAT guy. Absolutely love this
the boat, the guys house, this dudes one hell of a character.
Just found you today through sv seeker 👍👍
Nice! Thanks for watching!- Cheers Guy
This man is the definition of idgaf! Inspirational
I've watched every episode of the SV Seeker. It's been a great journey. Cant wait to see it on the water.
This guy is the most straight forward speaker I've ever seen. The clutter in language binds it up. That's why it's overused in sales, politics, and legal fine print.
What a reward in your next journey in life. Beautiful boat.
Hey Sir were you in the military like maybe the Navy? I was in the Marine Corps. That boat (Ship) looks outstanding. Can't wait to see in the ocean.
"How're you going to move the boat?" Me: "The same way NASA moved that rocket ship, on wheels.
How are you getting it out of Tulsa? Heavy haul truck? Put it on
Kerr/Arkansas river?
@@mrshotcrete Idk, he may launch it into the Tulsa port of Catoosa.
Love it who cares what the neighbors think he's having a good time with retirement .
The man all world should be proud of him!
every person featured in every of these vids is my new fav, they’re all my fav, amazing, I love this chan, thank you
How are we going to move the boat?
"The answer is wheels" lmao
The embodiment of “trust the proccess”
Guy : This is the coolest thing I've ever made.
His Children: Am I a joke to you?
My wife made my son. I just did the fun part.
Boomer?
You did not make him he just came from your body
jaswik half their genes were made in their dad
Nah boats cooler
People disliking this video.....wtf....you must be a real joy to be around....
I bet the neighbors enjoyed hearing and seeing that everyday.
Youre like some videogame adventure! Living breating ship. Everything has a story on it! Oh the places youll go and things youll see! The adventures youll have! I love it! I would love to come for an adventure and scuba dive off of it.
Like the starship enterprise!
How are you going to get it to water?
"Im looking around at the world and people are doing fantsic things and its not me, so i decided.. go big" : Doug Jackson, the coolest dude.
Update please. Has this project sailed or failed?

It's an awesome for sure. And he's out sailing on it right now!
