  • Final details of the building of Barrelback 19 "Fly Boy". Then, photos and videos of the launch and first sea trials of the vessel which took place June 21, 2017.
    Update January 2023: After 5 seasons of fun with this boat it is still performing very well. Most trips involve salt or brackish water and so I thoroughly flush engine, hull and trailer after each use. I also inject fresh grease into the trailer wheel bearings after each use. Had to replace one brake caliber on the trailer because it seized but only needed to clean the other one.

    What an absolutely beautiful boat. Your video inspired me and I ordered some study material and plans for a Barrelback. I really like the idea of having a center cushion that can fold or be removed to open up the space to move from the first to the second row.

    Having watched all three parts, I salute your indomitable skill and patience. Having gone the extra few miles, with the use of the epoxy as well as other touches here and there that I noticed, you've created a family heirloom that will no doubt be cherished for generations. Good on you.

    Beautiful build. Great vlog, thanks for taking the valuable time to vlog, edit, and share with us. Nothing more satisfying like the gurgle of that exhaust in the water, does a soul good. Great to have friends like this!

    This may be a silly question but can you use a Lexus V8 car engine with water cooled exhausts?

    Hi James, Beautiful job! Very inspiring. I am very fascinated by these type of American runabouts and I am currently saving up money so I can start building one myself in a few years. What is a realistic budget for a project like this? -and thanks for the great videos

    Beautiful boat but it looks like no leg room tight fit for folks.

    10/10 Excellent work. Was just worried about the 6 inches of legroom you lost with the engine placement? Perfect mix of stills and video. Thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful boat. Beautiful build. Sits dead level at rest. She would never have seen salt water had she been mine.
