Hi Wizard. Love the boat videos. I just thought I would give you a tip with the iPad that will let you download the Navionics app. 1. Download the app on a newer IOS device that supports IOS 12. 2. Sign in on the iPad and go to the purchased apps list. 3. Tap download. It will ask you if you would like to download an older version of the app. Hope this helps!
I was just going to give this advice also but checked to see if someone else hadn't already said it. Follow these steps Wizard. Don't bother with a newer iPad
I would like to add that the stability issue is exasperated with the addition of the solar panels on the roof. Weight distribution is crucial on a boat. The only way to reinstate proper stability at this point would be to put at least 50 gallons of water in the bilge tank for ballast before floating the vessel.
Any content with the Wizards as a couple is better content. I am HERE for it. The Wizards supporting one another and moving through life as partners in this way is endearing to see and very positive content for TH-cam. Just so rad. Me and David are the same age. So good to see a Gen X kid do so much for his family and his community. Rock on MetalDave!
yes....but he Also thinks these are Yachts. lol....It's an older Bayliner!! They are at very best the Entry level floating problems those years. The words "Fit and Finish" did not exist in the Bayliner Factory those days. HOWEVER....he is an AMAZING Mechanic....so I'm sure he will fix it up enough to sell it....I mean...Enjoy it. :)
Hi Wizard, Back when I had my boat I took a "coast guard auxiliary" boating class. I learned a lot and thought it was very worthwhile. You will also get a discount on your marine insurance.
Wizard, if you need more fuel tankage, you could always put a racing car type bag tank inside the original aluminium main tank by cutting an access panel, which you then cover over with a screwed down access hatch. These are now quite long lived.
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it yet but you have raised the center of gravity quite a bit by putting all your fuel above the water line... Be careful because it will be more "tippy" than originally designed!
I was thinking that as well. One wY to lessen the effect is to put some ballast weight where the tank used to be... like maybe.. a junk engine block? :)
@@PixelmechanicYYZ Getting that fuel weight down and centred could be important. Unless there is some unknown reason not to do so why not cut open the top of the original tank and place a slightly smaller fuel tank in it's place? When the top of the old tank is off you could fibreglass the bottom of the old tank sealing the leak and the old tank would then be a bund if the new tank leaked.... You could reuse the 30 gallon tank you already bought...just leave the framework and seat top where it is now installed... Just because it once had a capacity of 70 gallons doesn't mean you need to replace it with another of that capacity...
Get a blown up Lamborghini engine from Urination Bob and mock it up at the back of the boat. When Hoovie asks about it, tell him you "borrowed" it out of one of his cars.
I have the exact same boat and was particularly interested in your Window A/C install. Would love if you could go into more detail on that and please keep the Bayliner 2452 videos coming! Thanks
If you want to have a good memorial day I would highly suggest a shakedown cruise before hand. I am not sure if you have been around boats and know how to manage them but inevitably the best laid plans don't always go as planned. Best to get the bugs out before the big weekend.
Those electric cooler are pretty good, but they're also immense power hogs. I would recommend unplugging it from your batteries when not charging. They draw a constant 4-8 amps. A much more expensive compressor style fridge cooler is the more power efficient option for long term operation but for weekend outings the Peltier coolers work fine.
You might consider the AeroMedix CO detector. It's the best I've found at a reasonable price point that will detect and read very low levels of CO before they get out of hand. The UL ratings for CO detectors are ludicrously high. www.aeromedix.com/product/co-experts-2017-ultra-low-level-carbon-monoxide-detector/
It doesn’t matter where you install the carbon monoxide detector. I’ve spoken with several safety professionals. Even the instruction manuals never include comments about installation height.
Wizard, you can pick up a newer, but used, iPad for pretty cheap on eBay. Even the latest model is under $300 and you can sometimes buy a refurbished model and save $$.
Mr & Mrs Wizard, you should have a video talking about how your lives have changed since you started your youtube channel. You guys have an insane 500k subscribers now, im really curious and interested how you both have adjusted to being major youtubers and everything that comes with it. Thanks for the great content!
This reminds me of my 38 ft Winnebago. The two best days of ownership - the day you buy it and the day you sell it. I purchased it in 2007 and sold it in 2019. Learned a lot and had fun, but the maintenance and cost just got to be too much for me to do myself. Good luck on your journey. We stayed at Grand Lake on our way from San Antonio to Kansas City. I remember nice campgrounds
For that cooler I'd add in a few of those plastic blocks you fill with water & freeze just too let the cooler keep itself at a low temperature for a while longer even if they'll thaw within 2 - 4 hours cooling down whatever things you put in there. And also if that part fails or something can't supply electricity too that cooler that's a temporary backup too keep whatever is in there fresh for a while longer. While you perhaps travel back towards land too store whatever food is in there somewhere else or even bring it home. If you can later down the line, add in a proper boat deck freezer, a modern one would be very efficient together with a small wind power generator for just a bit extra power too charge with & those solar panels. Maybe you could rearrange them so you could fit 3 lengthwise across the roof instead of 2 horizontally. Dunno here how much room you would have beyond at a glance. Might stick out beyond the roof a bit looking a bit goofy but if you'd need more charging power that might be the best option besides perhaps hanging them on the side of the helm or whatever you call where you drive. Worst case scenario i suppose is bringing a gas generator for emergency power & some tow line just in case another boat needs too tow you out of a spot or back too shore. (Do find out where you can tie that stuff down ofc just so you don't rip apart most of the boat before you find the right spot.) Better too be a bit over prepared after all, specially if there is perhaps some medical emergency happening. Be it getting an allergic reaction or similar, make a plan for that as well wizard.
That’s not entirely true. I’ve talked to several safety professionals, and there are no issues with placing carbon monoxide detectors either high or low.

I was going to say all Wizard needs is some Captain training! But - Hoovie to the rescue...my only concern: you maaaaayyyy end up wanting more fridge space...or freezer space since you’re going with the microwave. At least get a new sweet cooler that you can strap to the boat somewhere to start with. You’ll thank me later! (When stocking small coolers or fridges, it usually requires a long time to get things nice and cold - so best to start with cold things: i.e. an actual ice cooler).
Love your all your videos - enjoying the nautical themed ones as well. I’m sure you know what you’re doing, but I am concerned with the fuel tank situation. Seems like having 70 gallon weight down low in the hull seems better handling wise than the 35 gallons above deck - worried for you Weezard 🤦🏻♂️
I epoxied my depth sounder transducer in bilge 18 months back.Works well and also tells water temp.in bilge which is close to water temp outside.Less holes in new transom.CHEERS from Westcoast Canada! Safe Boating!
Hi wizard, IT guy here. That iPad is obsolete and I would say it's unlikely you can find modern apps to run on it. One thing that might work: If you can find an .ipa file of an app that supported iOS 9, you could possibly sideload it using iTunes. There are sites out there that host old versions of stuff that are no longer available.
You need to buy a couple 40 foot lengths of 3/8 braided dacron line. And a couple large snap hooks. Very handy. You need about a 45 pound anchor with ten feet of chain and 80 feet of line. Hope there are a couple decent cleets. Fyi a 20 pound mushroom anchor and 40 foot line for quick stops is also smart and easy to handle. I call them lunch hooks.
Dollar Tree sells (at least used to sell) rubberized "shelf paper". It does a good job of keeping things from sliding around in the cabinets in the motorhome.
Hey Wizard, you really want fuel in that tank for down low for ballast. Use the old tank but install a Gasoline sensor (170usd) if you dont actually know if it leaks. You can also pull out the fuel sender for access with a roller brush and paint it inside with Por15 fuel sealer.
Be careful w/the BOSS amp. I have one in my old XK8 'vert. During the off months I disconnect the battery. About a month ago I removed my float charger and hooked the battery up. About 10 seconds later smoke began coming from the amp. It had been working fine (although waaaay over rated, watt-wise) for several years but just decided to give up. The keys weren't in the ignition, nothing else has issues. Luckily I saw the smoke, popped the cable off the battery and pulled the fuse to the amp. Reconnected the battery, hit the switch and it fired up. Everything else works fine. Removed the amp, no wiring issues, no critter marks, etc. Realize anything can happen but odd enough to toss out a thought before seeing someone else's stuff go up.
Great job on getting all the mechanicals fixed on the cruiser. It looks like you have all your bases covered and you should get many hours of enjoyment out of it.
I'd get Crazy Dee to clean that mess up he's got out there, farm stuff all over, at least put it in neat rows. It seems as if the gas tank is going to be tuff to climb over getting back into the boat off of the ladder. You guys have done a wonderful job with the boat.
It's a good thing you're a mechanic taking the Bayliner out on the first cruise take a lot of tools with you good luck and smooth sailing I hope everything goes well
A tip on the non slip for the galley if there is a commercial print shop near by stop at the receiving department and ask them for one of the mats they put under paper rolls they are 24x36 and all kinds of usefull!
I have just one concern. The curtain for the Amp will look nice. Amps usually have big heat sinks for a reason. They get hot. You will need to make sure it can get enough air to stay cool behind your curtain.
Hey Wizard, you can jailbreak the iPad and download an older version of your app. I run a tech store and see outdated app issues frequently. There are options! I’d love to talk any time and Ofer any knowledge I have for free. Very happy to see the boats coming along!
Please please please, make sure you have a two escape routes that someone like the wizard can get through. Make sure it’s easy to open any door. I had a friend who loved scuba diving die in a boat fire. The fire broke out in a common area that ended up blocking the only entrance/exit while everyone was sleeping. Yes you have a smoke detector, but it’s a tight fit and if the fire is blocking, you’re not “making a run for it”....Google, “Los angeles scuba fire”
A lot of people bad mouth the Bayliner but in fact are pretty good boats - a little under powered - the 245 was one of their most popular models. I would eventually replace the bottom of the gas tank or buy a new one's. I notice what looks like a pressurized alcohol stove - replace with a canister style such as Origo- much easier to use - should be agreat weekend
To install Navionics on your iPad, or any other app of the sort: 1. Since you have an iPhone, download and install it on your iPhone. Otherwise, you'd need to use iTunes or something. 2. Now that you've downloaded this app, Apple has associated the app with your account. 3. Now you can download an OLDER version of the app on your iPad that will be compatible. I've used this trick for some apps on my iPod Touch 4G which runs iOS 6. Though since it's my only Apple device, I had to use iTunes for step 1. EDIT: @daleko3454 already explained this I see, and probably a bit better than I did.
Wizard, if you install the app on a newer device that is supported, you can install it on your old ipad but it will ask if you want to download a old version, if a version existed that supported iOS 9. They need the same appleID of course and it will end up having a cloud symbol and be in your purchases. It doesn’t need to stay downloaded on your newer device, it just needs to be in your purchase history of the appleID. This you can do with any app and you might find something that works that way, as very very very very few apps will say that they fully support iOS 9, let alone the niche area you’re looking for.
Back in the old days, everyone used to think Stairway to Heaven was the greatest song of all time… Little did they know that Money by Pink Floyd would take that spot.
If you are worried about gps, buy a hand-held Garmin and download the charts from a computer. That's what I had on my first boat. Eventually I invested in a built-in Garmin with chart plotter that also is wired into the engine to see speed and depth.
If you have any charted underwater hazards where you boat, the problem with that iPad is not only incompatibility with charting software, it is the refresh rate. GPS software is memory hungry and a CPU hog. You’ll be crashing over some structure loosing your outdrive and seconds later your chart plotting software will catch up with that event. All to save $500 on a new iPad.
I have an idea. may you could get vertical, 4-6" diameter wind-turbines, placed @ each extreme-rear corner, where if you're anchored & swimming/fishing/"kicking-back, you can get power if the 2-100 watt panels don't give you enough. I don't know if you have a canvas-cover over your deck @ the rear, so if you wish a break from sun/rain you could hook the tarp/cover to a turbine-housing. Turbines could be integrated into a "roll-bar-like" solid-piece @ the stern of your boat You could offer these[turbines] to us, like your tools, so you can expand a revenue-stream, there, and some of us could dial-into windpower . The middle, "fly-over states" get a LOT of "Solar" from WIND, so maybe others could harness power from a turbine, to replace/augment direct solar-power generated from cells. Where's your "bait-box"? Maybe you don't plan to do any fishing. What about the qagga/zebra mussel-problem? Do you have a copper-based solution to run through tanks/piping/props/engines that contact lake-water, so your intakes/other systems don't support those invasive mussels, and plug-up systems on the boat? Maybe invasive mussels could be discouraged by an electric charge placed on the boat engines? Some states have huge fines around NOT following "Anti-mussel" regs. How's your aqua "secret-car" project coming? I haven't noticed the vids on that, yet. One of my fav-movies is Charlton Heston's "Omega Man" from the '70s. You have "Omega Garage", so you might check-out "Omega Man." PS. Have you ever seen an early '80s Camaro with an inline-6? They ought to be rarer than hen's teeth. One could be a "runner" with a 292 cu" Jimmy or a LL8 4200L DOHC Vortec all alloy inliner. From '82 on, GM went to tiny V-8s{305} and V-6s {2.8L}. LUV your vids.
If you sign in on a device that can download the app you can download it on that device sign it to the App Store on the older device go to previous downloads and it will let you download an older version of the app!
We had purchased a 25 foot cuddie with full camper top Had it about a month We enjoyed it on the lake on a Sunday Buttoned it up covered it at out dock all was good Three days later the highway patrol called to say out boat sank We went out right away to find the back end underwater a guy we rented the dock from said he saw lights on inside Once we got inside we noticed all these plastic bottles and stuff Somebody had gotten in it and had a party it was totally trashed Insurance dicked around because it was new and was totaled out but they didn’t offer anything fit the trailer. So I told them to get their boat off my trailer! They gave me what it cost new Will never have another boat even thought I grew up on boats
Carbon Monoxide detector should be about two feet off the floor. I have a lot of experience with those thermo electric coolers. The do not work well in a warm environment. They are only capable of about a 35 degree delta. So if it is 90 out you’ll only get down to about 55 in the cooler. We usually use ours in our car and we keep it about 70 in the car so it works well there. Where does the condensate go from your cabin air conditioner?
I have a similar boat as yours that I use in a saltwater environment primarily to travel shallow backcountry areas. you will find your best option is a chartplotter with a depth sounder built into it.. you can get them for just a couple of hundred dollars that are way more useful than your iPad or an Android pad.. Also those tablets are not waterproof nor are they Glare Proof.. they are almost useless in front of you in the sunshine...
Hi Car Wizard, I am not sure the CO sensor/detector high up on the ceiling is the right idea. CO alarms should likely be mid way between ceiling and floor. Also regarding your chart plotter, AFAIK in the USA detailed vector charts are available for all water ways FOC, maybe have a look at the NOAA website or search the inet for NOAA vector charts . Such vector charts can be used with applications such as OpenCPN or even commercial chart plotters. I have no clue re iPad's, I have used the Navionics app on Android in the past and its great, but I only used it because I am not US based and vector charts here cost a bunch of money. Love the channel, thank you !!!! Greetings from Ireland
Maybe getting a US Coast Guard inspection would be nice, not sure if they still do that and/or if there is a cost involved. Hope you got enough fire extinguishers and PFD's aboard! Good luck!
Mr. Wizard... get rid of that old IPad and just use current edition of Navionics on your phone!!! You would have had to supply a hotspot through your phone to the old IPad anyway. When you can, upgrade to a Garmin Chartplotter as soon as u can! Not as expensive as you think and gives depth, speed and current location at all times. Good luck on the water...
Wizard well done on all of the upgrades. You really thought this through. Now enjoy yourselves out on the water. You might want to consider an online boating course, New Jersey State police have a great one or United states coast guard auxiliary.
I hope you guys read these comments. With as popular as van life has become in the last year maybe you guys should do a "buy this not that" on vans that could be converted. I know I would be really interested.
I think you are going to hate that cooler, it's thermoelectric so it is very inefficient and won't have a lot of cooling power. You might want to think about a more expensive compressor style one or a mini fridge.
agree, especially since it will be out in the sun. Best option is to replace the dead cabin fridge with a $99 walmart small fridge and a inverter to run it. He has plenty of battery power to keep it running for 2 days or more.
I’m happy with the two Coleman coolers that I’ve used. But I never use them in the sun, and any items that I put into them have been already cooled in a regular refrigerator.
Since carbonmonoxyde is heavier than the you surrounding air, you should place the alarm at a lower place, about 5-6 inches below the point where your head rests when you sleep...they call it the silent killer with good reason....

Great tip, hope he sees this.
Great advice! And if this doesn't work he needs to Jailbreak the thing
Buying a used/refurbished device might also be an option. Buy new just for occasional use on the boat probably isn't worth it.
I was just going to give this advice also but checked to see if someone else hadn't already said it. Follow these steps Wizard. Don't bother with a newer iPad
This is the answer. Another option for the time being would be to just use a phone. That's what I do on my (albeit much smaller) boat.
There's a reason gas tanks are in the bilge. Ballast. You may have made your boat unstable by mounting the tank on top of the deck.
I would like to add that the stability issue is exasperated with the addition of the solar panels on the roof. Weight distribution is crucial on a boat. The only way to reinstate proper stability at this point would be to put at least 50 gallons of water in the bilge tank for ballast before floating the vessel.
13:50 love how Ms. Wizard just called Admiral Wizard ballast for the boat
He was demoted from Admiral when he called the overhead a roof.
All I thought of when I heard that was "shots fired"....poor wizard was labelled a chubby man....he's just husky.....

The wife is generally referenced as the Admiral. The husband is the deck hand or the bilge rat.

The boat is looking good. I recommend getting a pump style cooler /fridge over the type you have. Dometic makes a nice one.
Carbon Monoxide alarm should probably be lower on the side around where your head would be when sleeping...
Preferably lower than that so yuo get some warning before it gets to nose level?
I agree with you the fireman told me it should be on the bottom.

I must have missed it. Is that a combo detector? Probably not a good spot if it detects smoke from cooking.
@@ronniecarter7093 he won't be cooking on the boat last video showing no stove anymore just storage under it. Only using a microwave.
So glad you and Mrs. Weezard are getting your boat together.....nice break between all of the car stuff!!
If you all are also running propane, make sure to install a detector for that as well, but place it near the floor. Propane is very dense.
There's no propane on the boat. He removed the old twin hob that used to be underneath the cutting board.
Hey Ms Wizard get two detectors, one for smoke, remember heat rises, Carbon monoxcide tends to go to the bottom.
It doesn’t matter where you install the carbon monoxide detector. I’ve spoken with several safety professionals. Even the instruction manuals never include comments about installation height.

To stop the baskets sliding on the shelf, get non-slip matting from Amazon, it comes on a large roll and can be cut to exactly the shape you need.
Love your all your videos - enjoying the nautical themed ones as well. I’m sure you know what you’re doing, but I am concerned with the fuel tank situation. Seems like having 70 gallon weight down low in the hull seems better handling wise than the 35 gallons above deck - worried for you Weezard 🤦🏻♂️
I epoxied my depth sounder transducer in bilge 18 months back.Works well and also tells water temp.in bilge which is close to water temp outside.Less holes in new transom.CHEERS from Westcoast Canada! Safe Boating!
Hi wizard, IT guy here. That iPad is obsolete and I would say it's unlikely you can find modern apps to run on it.
One thing that might work: If you can find an .ipa file of an app that supported iOS 9, you could possibly sideload it using iTunes. There are sites out there that host old versions of stuff that are no longer available.
You need to buy a couple 40 foot lengths of 3/8 braided dacron line. And a couple large snap hooks. Very handy. You need about a 45 pound anchor with ten feet of chain and 80 feet of line. Hope there are a couple decent cleets.
Fyi a 20 pound mushroom anchor and 40 foot line for quick stops is also smart and easy to handle. I call them lunch hooks.
Dollar Tree sells (at least used to sell) rubberized "shelf paper". It does a good job of keeping things from sliding around in the cabinets in the motorhome.
Hey Wizard, you really want fuel in that tank for down low for ballast. Use the old tank but install a Gasoline sensor (170usd) if you dont actually know if it leaks. You can also pull out the fuel sender for access with a roller brush and paint it inside with Por15 fuel sealer.
2:30 - Sounds like Wizard found the ONE SET of instructions that aren't useless!
Be careful w/the BOSS amp. I have one in my old XK8 'vert. During the off months I disconnect the battery. About a month ago I removed my float charger and hooked the battery up. About 10 seconds later smoke began coming from the amp. It had been working fine (although waaaay over rated, watt-wise) for several years but just decided to give up. The keys weren't in the ignition, nothing else has issues. Luckily I saw the smoke, popped the cable off the battery and pulled the fuse to the amp. Reconnected the battery, hit the switch and it fired up. Everything else works fine. Removed the amp, no wiring issues, no critter marks, etc. Realize anything can happen but odd enough to toss out a thought before seeing someone else's stuff go up.
Great job on getting all the mechanicals fixed on the cruiser. It looks like you have all your bases covered and you should get many hours of enjoyment out of it.
You need to finish the Carver and use it as soon as possible. That's what I've been waiting to see.
I'd get Crazy Dee to clean that mess up he's got out there, farm stuff all over, at least put it in neat rows. It seems as if the gas tank is going to be tuff to climb over getting back into the boat off of the ladder. You guys have done a wonderful job with the boat.
Have fun on the lake this weekend. I enjoyed talking with you and Mrs. Wizard this morning at Amelia C&C. You guys rock!
I’m not really a yacht person but it’s fun to watch the process
Pretty easy to clean and seal the aluminum tank. I have done it several times. KBS Coatings makes a great kit that is very easy to use.
It's a good thing you're a mechanic taking the Bayliner out on the first cruise take a lot of tools with you good luck and smooth sailing I hope everything goes well
504K !! Well done Wizard !Of course you too Mrs.Wizard for the great camera,and interaction work,not to mention your editing.Onward to 1 Million !
A tip on the non slip for the galley if there is a commercial print shop near by stop at the receiving department and ask them for one of the mats they put under paper rolls they are 24x36 and all kinds of usefull!
I have just one concern. The curtain for the Amp will look nice. Amps usually have big heat sinks for a reason. They get hot. You will need to make sure it can get enough air to stay cool behind your curtain.
Hey Wizard, you can jailbreak the iPad and download an older version of your app. I run a tech store and see outdated app issues frequently. There are options! I’d love to talk any time and Ofer any knowledge I have for free. Very happy to see the boats coming along!
Soooo do we get a wizard family nautical adventure?? Nice job on the boat guys!!
Yeeah, almost done, good luck Wizards!
Turns out I'm becoming a big fan of Mrs. Wizard's as well now.
Saw you at the concours but didn’t want to disturb you with your people. Be safe on your trip home Weeeezard.
Mr and Mrs wizard you're both so relaxing and calming to listen to, nice vidios thanks.
Please please please, make sure you have a two escape routes that someone like the wizard can get through. Make sure it’s easy to open any door. I had a friend who loved scuba diving die in a boat fire. The fire broke out in a common area that ended up blocking the only entrance/exit while everyone was sleeping. Yes you have a smoke detector, but it’s a tight fit and if the fire is blocking, you’re not “making a run for it”....Google, “Los angeles scuba fire”
The wizard turned that radio up I heard Deftones Change and smiled so big I love Deftones 🤘🏻
A lot of people bad mouth the Bayliner but in fact are pretty good boats - a little under powered - the 245 was one of their most popular models. I would eventually replace the bottom of the gas tank or buy a new one's. I notice what looks like a pressurized alcohol stove - replace with a canister style such as Origo- much easier to use - should be agreat weekend
To install Navionics on your iPad, or any other app of the sort:
1. Since you have an iPhone, download and install it on your iPhone. Otherwise, you'd need to use iTunes or something.
2. Now that you've downloaded this app, Apple has associated the app with your account.
3. Now you can download an OLDER version of the app on your iPad that will be compatible.
I've used this trick for some apps on my iPod Touch 4G which runs iOS 6. Though since it's my only Apple device, I had to use iTunes for step 1.
EDIT: @daleko3454 already explained this I see, and probably a bit better than I did.
Nice work on the interior Mrs. Wizard!
Wizard, if you install the app on a newer device that is supported, you can install it on your old ipad but it will ask if you want to download a old version, if a version existed that supported iOS 9. They need the same appleID of course and it will end up having a cloud symbol and be in your purchases. It doesn’t need to stay downloaded on your newer device, it just needs to be in your purchase history of the appleID.
This you can do with any app and you might find something that works that way, as very very very very few apps will say that they fully support iOS 9, let alone the niche area you’re looking for.
5:01 The wizard listen to The Deftones 😮
great taste.
Wow.. truly a wizard. Alot of thought went into making this cruiser amazing. I love it
First song as you go out on lake first time is Pink Floyd "Money. At volume lol, please do this it would rock.
Maybe not the first song. Wait until Hoovie is within earshot so he can hear it.
Back in the old days, everyone used to think Stairway to Heaven was the greatest song of all time… Little did they know that Money by Pink Floyd would take that spot.
FREEBIRD!!!
It's important to take time off to enjoy life, you can't work without play. Have fun on the water.
If you are worried about gps, buy a hand-held Garmin and download the charts from a computer. That's what I had on my first boat. Eventually I invested in a built-in Garmin with chart plotter that also is wired into the engine to see speed and depth.
Love your videos, it's so good to see both of you can do the jobs sorting out the boat.
If you have any charted underwater hazards where you boat, the problem with that iPad is not only incompatibility with charting software, it is the refresh rate. GPS software is memory hungry and a CPU hog. You’ll be crashing over some structure loosing your outdrive and seconds later your chart plotting software will catch up with that event. All to save $500 on a new iPad.
I have an idea. may you could get vertical, 4-6" diameter wind-turbines, placed @ each extreme-rear corner, where if you're anchored & swimming/fishing/"kicking-back, you can get power if the 2-100 watt panels don't give you enough. I don't know if you have a canvas-cover over your deck @ the rear, so if you wish a break from sun/rain you could hook the tarp/cover to a turbine-housing. Turbines could be integrated into a "roll-bar-like" solid-piece @ the stern of your boat You could offer these[turbines] to us, like your tools, so you can expand a revenue-stream, there, and some of us could dial-into windpower . The middle, "fly-over states" get a LOT of "Solar" from WIND, so maybe others could harness power from a turbine, to replace/augment direct solar-power generated from cells. Where's your "bait-box"? Maybe you don't plan to do any fishing. What about the qagga/zebra mussel-problem? Do you have a copper-based solution to run through tanks/piping/props/engines that contact lake-water, so your intakes/other systems don't support those invasive mussels, and plug-up systems on the boat? Maybe invasive mussels could be discouraged by an electric charge placed on the boat engines? Some states have huge fines around NOT following "Anti-mussel" regs. How's your aqua "secret-car" project coming? I haven't noticed the vids on that, yet. One of my fav-movies is Charlton Heston's "Omega Man" from the '70s. You have "Omega Garage", so you might check-out "Omega Man." PS. Have you ever seen an early '80s Camaro with an inline-6? They ought to be rarer than hen's teeth. One could be a "runner" with a 292 cu" Jimmy or a LL8 4200L DOHC Vortec all alloy inliner. From '82 on, GM went to tiny V-8s{305} and V-6s {2.8L}. LUV your vids.
If you sign in on a device that can download the app you can download it on that device sign it to the App Store on the older device go to previous downloads and it will let you download an older version of the app!
You two are creative!Good luck and hope you guys get a perfect summer on water.
We had purchased a 25 foot cuddie with full camper top
Had it about a month
We enjoyed it on the lake on a Sunday
Buttoned it up covered it at out dock all was good
Three days later the highway patrol called to say out boat sank
We went out right away to find the back end underwater a guy we rented the dock from said he saw lights on inside
Once we got inside we noticed all these plastic bottles and stuff
Somebody had gotten in it and had a party it was totally trashed
Insurance dicked around because it was new and was totaled out but they didn’t offer anything fit the trailer. So I told them to get their boat off my trailer! They gave me what it cost new
Will never have another boat even thought I grew up on boats
Hey wizard. They make GPS powered speedometers. They work well and it will fit the current gauge location. All it needs is power.
Mrs wizard is getting so good at YT videos. Great to see her coming in to her own. Already more comfortable on camera than Wizard
Happy 500k Wizard! Congrats
Carbon Monoxide detector should be about two feet off the floor. I have a lot of experience with those thermo electric coolers. The do not work well in a warm environment. They are only capable of about a 35 degree delta. So if it is 90 out you’ll only get down to about 55 in the cooler. We usually use ours in our car and we keep it about 70 in the car so it works well there. Where does the condensate go from your cabin air conditioner?
I have a similar boat as yours that I use in a saltwater environment primarily to travel shallow backcountry areas. you will find your best option is a chartplotter with a depth sounder built into it.. you can get them for just a couple of hundred dollars that are way more useful than your iPad or an Android pad.. Also those tablets are not waterproof nor are they Glare Proof.. they are almost useless in front of you in the sunshine...
Ms.Wizard is a good wife. Big support for Mr.Wizard for sure!
This boat is shaping up to be a real nice piece of machinery.
Hi Car Wizard, I am not sure the CO sensor/detector high up on the ceiling is the right idea. CO alarms should likely be mid way between ceiling and floor. Also regarding your chart plotter, AFAIK in the USA detailed vector charts are available for all water ways FOC, maybe have a look at the NOAA website or search the inet for NOAA vector charts . Such vector charts can be used with applications such as OpenCPN or even commercial chart plotters. I have no clue re iPad's, I have used the Navionics app on Android in the past and its great, but I only used it because I am not US based and vector charts here cost a bunch of money.
Love the channel, thank you !!!! Greetings from Ireland
Maybe getting a US Coast Guard inspection would be nice, not sure if they still do that and/or if there is a cost involved. Hope you got enough fire extinguishers and PFD's aboard! Good luck!
I noticed Mrs. Wizard was giving us the lake effect waves👍
Mr. Wizard... get rid of that old IPad and just use current edition of Navionics on your phone!!! You would have had to supply a hotspot through your phone to the old IPad anyway. When you can, upgrade to a Garmin Chartplotter as soon as u can! Not as expensive as you think and gives depth, speed and current location at all times. Good luck on the water...
Wizard well done on all of the upgrades. You really thought this through. Now enjoy yourselves out on the water. You might want to consider an online boating course, New Jersey State police have a great one or United states coast guard auxiliary.
I hope you guys read these comments. With as popular as van life has become in the last year maybe you guys should do a "buy this not that" on vans that could be converted. I know I would be really interested.
I think you are going to hate that cooler, it's thermoelectric so it is very inefficient and won't have a lot of cooling power. You might want to think about a more expensive compressor style one or a mini fridge.
agree, especially since it will be out in the sun. Best option is to replace the dead cabin fridge with a $99 walmart small fridge and a inverter to run it. He has plenty of battery power to keep it running for 2 days or more.
I’m happy with the two Coleman coolers that I’ve used. But I never use them in the sun, and any items that I put into them have been already cooled in a regular refrigerator.
You guys really need to get a steam cleaner to come in and clean those carpet walls.
Since carbonmonoxyde is heavier than the you surrounding air, you should place the alarm at a lower place, about 5-6 inches below the point where your head rests when you sleep...they call it the silent killer with good reason....
To test the speedo, blow air into the hole on the drive. If you don't know where ,look it up
You may want to get an waterproof case for your iPad in case some unexpected rainstorm happens while on the lake. I’ve seen a few cases on Amazon
Hey Skipper and Mrs. First Mate, love the yacht project, small repairs not total overhaul/rebuild. Looks like it will be fun
