For me, the best part is that you look really happy about your purchase, your hard work and the result so far. You still have a lot of work to do to bring your boat up to your expectations; you are both young and adventurous and I believe that with your attitude and hard working ethic, you will own a really nice boat... Keep up the great work...
You know I don't know quite how it works in Canada but here in England a lot of people who use these diesel heaters don't use standard road diesel. Road diesel has to pay fuel duty but if you don't use it for transportation you can use either red diesel for farming/non road use or you can use bog standard 28 second heating oil. Road diesel here is like £1.40 a litre but sometimes you can pick up heating oil in 4 gallon cans for around 80 pence a litre as its not had to pay fuel duty and its lower grade than road diesel but diesel heaters burn it all the same. I don't know what heating oil availability is like in your corner of Canada or if there is a price/tax difference. Here in England a lot of rural properties have oil fired central heating boilers so heating oil isn't to hard to come by. Just a thought. Also have you thought about converting your engines to something more fuel efficient? Also just so you know - for 90% of applications the tools Ryobi sell are perfectly OK for up to light professional use. I have a bunch of them I have used the absolute shit out of since 2016.
@@zoidberg444 hi, yes, thank you for the ideas! With other types of diesel and heating oil there's a big problem, we can't buy it on the water, only from the land. And moving into the boat anything from the land in this volume is a big problem. So any extra expenses of delivery and time would even the price difference of $0.20/litre. Regarding engines, absolutely! We are swapping them to electric. One is already changed, but it's not powerful enough yet, it was just proof of the concept. Next year we are planning to change them both to Tesla drive units And Ryobi works, just because we got a lot of them at one time we saw all their disadvantages at once - bad battery and lack of quality. Ryobi does the job, but better tools make your work easier and faster)
First off, great work getting so much done so quickly! I am quite surprised at your expenses for heating and electrical generation though. I realize you have thought it all through a bunch, but I cant help but think you air handling system is overkill for that space, and is costing you a lot. Would you consider having it hooked up to a humidity meter, and or C02 meter to cycle the system on and off? Do you have any plans to improve the insulation on the boat?
@@Bikeconstructeur Thank you! Actually this system is just quite enough to hold the CO2 level the way we want it to be. We tried to have it working slower, and it already affects a lot, so we prefer to use it at maximum comfort for us. Once circulation stops, the air quickly feels bad. We still consider that we spend way less than if we would spend on renting a room, so it's okay. We are slowly improving the insulation (more on that in upcoming videos) but as we are planning to go South one day, we won't focus too much on it, it's already pretty comfortable for the winter we have here)
Just a heads up. I don’t know what kind of licence you or Dima have, but taking paying passengers puts you into commercial territory and other licensing requirements may be required. It would be wise to contact Transport Canada to find out for sure as you don’t want them to find out about you first. Don’t want you guys to find a bad surprise in your mailbox.
Wouldn’t renting the boat be the same as an Airbnb where you still need a business license, insurance & will have to pay taxes on income generated from renting your space? I’m pretty sure it works the same way even though you’re in a boat. Be careful about boasting the rental profits unless you have all the documents required by law.
@@BlueAriesJewelry you do require proper insurance for liability and damages. And you do have to report the income as with any other business. The thing with boats is the need for the operator or captain of the boat to be properly licenced. You are required to provide proof of competency just to operate a boat in Canada. But carrying passengers puts it into commercial territory and requires upgraded certificates of competency.
2800$ for rent a month sounds insane for someone from europe. Like even over here rent is expensive but we're luckily not even close to that. Heck I pay considerably less then that in monthly payments for the house I bought in 2016 (monthly payment for the loan I took out to buy the house is 650€).
@@Enakaji yes, prices in British Columbia are insane. Right now you will spend on rent like $3-4k if you want a 1-2 bedroom apartment. Or $1500 for renting a room in the basement. Happy to hear about your house! This was a great decision at the right time 🔥 what country are you from?
@@YachtCityLife I'm from germany and the house I bought is an old Winefarmer house that was originally build in 1842. It was relatively cheap because it's not close to any larger city, which was actually exactly what I was looking for, because I enjoy the peace and quite of living in a smaller village and since I have a 100% remote work contract I don't need to drive to any office to work, so that was no concern when buying the house.
A view from the UK. Just a little correction ; your boat IS NOT a yacht. It is a motor boat or motor vessel or motor cruiser. Please don't tell me you are another with delusions of grandeur. You'll tell me you sleep in a state room next.
@@robertstancer4469 Please don't tell me you are another with delusions of grandeur telling me how I should call my home. On the helm station we have "Bayliner Yachts" so I don't care what you think

@@MrJerobona yes, for parties and rides. Basically charters
you need to go with diesel engines get rid of the gas engines
