Well done Mr and Mrs Stu on making that fantastic voyage. Having watched the old outboard videos, the resto and now this trip - it's all been a terrific journey.
Thanks Iain, appreciate you watching all this time. It's funny, while on this trip I've been planning a whole range of outboard videos to film. I guess variety is the spice of life! :)
Oh I love you have a picture of Bill Muray as Steve Zissou hanging there :D One of my favorite movies!
Mine too!
The engine sounds really good now
Its finally had a proper break in. Ready to rumble now
Yes, I've noticed a slight change in pitch now. Now the rings have bedded in it does sound smoother.
@@DangarMarine I used to ride a commuter bus to work in NYC that had a old detroit diesel, love that sound, it would lul you to take a nap! 😆
Great show glad you made it, now you can get to work, remember to have some fun too, Jeff in LA USA
Thank you stu for letting me touch recko with both hands
No worries mate, thanks for swinging by. 👍🏼
Good to see Rokkit made a cameo and showd you how to set up a trolling rig
Glad to see you made it to Bundaburg. Let the games begin.
Thanks Bob, time to get cracking on these jokes, I mean jobs. ;)
I actually had a dingoes breakfast this morning! A drink of water and a look around 😁
Mine was a drovers breakfast. A piss and a good look around. 😀👍

Stu actually I love boats, I have a small engineering workshop just south of Bundaberg and I get to do a lot of aluminium welding on tinnys Mainly because the “captains” crash into Australia on a fairly regular basis. The bad news is (1) nothing on a boat is a straight line and(2) The tungsten termites (otherwise known as electrolysis) makes them a bugger to repair.😺👍
Looks like Renko is doing everything she's meant to do. Gives a lot of confidence to move forward to the diving expeditions.
Definitely. Hasn't missed a beat so far. :)
Good ole RENKO.
Great to see my two favorite upside down channels together. lol Thanks guys.
Our pleasure!
Free fresh fish! What a gentleman 👍
It was very kind. :)
Nice video…fun to see Renko out’n about…nice to see your hard work pay off…steady she goes…be safe…
yay! Was thinking about sending out a search party. Well, a party anyway...
I'll keep an eye out for the party's arrival. ;)
Good morning from Siesta Key Florida
Good morning!
Great to see Tin Can Bay getting coverage, thanks Stu, that is our neck of the woods and our version if Renko lives in the marina at Tin Can.
It was a nice spot, glad we dropped in.
that beautiful beach on the island--wish to visit thanks for taking us along
Your welcome Rudy.
Looks like an awesome trip!
It was!
Awesome....Thanks mate.....!
My pleasure!
Loved the opening
For those critical of Detroits, you made the trip while they remain on the hard. ;)
Indeed! ;)
But we still don't have any oil leaks...
@@ProjectBrupeg keeping the oil pressure at zero sure helps with that.😉
I'm thinking less work will get done on both boats parked side by side.....but the beer consumption will skyrocket.
It will be fine, Damien doesn't drink at all.
Awesome vids mate. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Richard. :)
Hey stu. give damien a good swift kick to keep him distracted.
get Adrien to sneak on board and permanently mark the cummins that it wants to be a detroit when it grows up. ;)
I think Adrian will definitely oblige when he gets here. :)
Congrats on an extended maidenish voyage.
Thanks mate!
It is a big journey & must be fantastic 👏🏻🏆☝🏻Good work!!
Brilliant video - still laughing at 'Fair dinkum'
Glad you enjoyed. :)
Good to see D-squad at the end again as usual.
LOL. They're a good substitute. ;)
@@DangarMarine Kiwis are like strange little chocks ... so ... same same.
Love watching your adventure RENKO's running well
Thanks mate. :)
Love the intro 2🤣
Caught your arrival on Brupeg's channel.
Cool.
Awesome, those brupeg folks seem pretty cool I smell another sub I need to channel
Thanks Gabe, they've done a great job on Brupeg over the years. Hopefully it will be going into the water very soon!
Brupeg are the real deal, well worth subbing to.
@@rododonnell9783 Thanks very much mate
@@ProjectBrupeg More the case of Thank you for having such a high quality channel
Another great job stu, thnx
You're welcome Richard.
"Today's video is about finally making it up the coast in that Fing GM"! That was hilarious!
!
Congrats on the successful journey. I am loyal viewer and I'll admit I didn't realize you were going on the hard next to Brupeg, thats going to be incredible with the synergies. I've been watching quite a few of their videos lately.
Can't wait for double the Stu and Damian +Jess!
Thanks mate, I'm looking forward to getting up on the hard stand too.
I am so happy to see you are safe and made it
This is awesome.
Thanks mate.
Another good one! No suprise! Watching with interest in Western Canada! CHEERS
Thanks Darryl!
That's a long Detroit song sung sir, good on renko and the man at the controls 🍻
Just doing great job. Thanks for sharing such a great story you live.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
"Dingotracks In The Mangrove..." Now that IS Exotic to a Swede :) We have Elks, raindeer & wolves Zzzz....
Great video Stu , so calming to start my day at work in southern Spain , have a great day all of you 👍🏻🇪🇸
Thanks Mike. Would love to visit Spain one day. :)
Watching this video has left me torn between going boating for fresh fish or detecting for buried treasures and trash today.
Do both...
@@gotchagoing8843 Live life do both!
Hi Stu, now you are a fair way into the Renko journey including figuratively speaking........ as a fellow boater have you had one of those contemplative moments over a beer or three when you thought “I wished I’d have got a 40 footer 🤦♂️”........... well done on the trip👍
Nah, mostly dream about 50 footers. ;)
@@DangarMarine that's what she said?
@@DangarMarine only 50...? how quaint
It’s a leadhead roofing nail.. to hold down corrugated iron.
Interesting. Haven't seen one of those before. Thanks!
I LOVE the drone of that Detroit Diesel running so smoothly. It’ would put me to sleep.
It is quite nice to sleep to when you are off watch on a night passage.
This is an epic journey. Thanks for bringing us along. The Detroit 4-71 sounds utterly reliable.
Thanks Kevin, glad you enjoyed it. The Detroit hasn't missed a beat the whole trip, so happy that Adrian was on hand to fix it up before we left.
Well would you look at that finally the 2 brother's from different mothers have got back together. Now this will be fun to watch.
Yup....but will the marina survive, lol...
Thanks mate. :)
Good to see you made it safe and sound. Enjoy!
Well done. I've always enjoyed adventurous trips the most.
heya stu welcome to Queensland glad you guys made it safely and the boat went well its good to hear that gm running love the sound my dad use to be a coxswain on Australian army lcm-8 landing craft that used 4 x 6-71GM twin packs before they were change to 2 x 8V92 GM in the 1990s he was based in brisbane river then they had no radar no gps no depth sounder he would say captain cook had more gear than we had they got radar in 1993 hahaha anyway take care and be safe
Thanks mate, I love the sound of it too. It certainly makes life a lot easier having the nav gear, that's for sure.
Just got done watching you arrive on the Brupeg Channel.. Glad to see you made it!
Hey Stu, it's nice to see the Mrs.
Well that’s the holiday over then! Looks a lovely part of the world for some grinding, welding and painting!
It is going to be great to be in an industrial yard where they allow that type of thing. Sydney wasn't a great place to work on a steel boat.
@@DangarMarine Looking forward to it Stu. Going to be great to see the topsides looking shipshape! More power to your elbow mate!
Glad to see you guys made it to Brupeg, you will have a great time and get some work done on Renko. Lol I was sleeping an my wife woke me to say, Hey Your Boat guy has a new Video!!!
LOL, she sounds like a keeper! :)
I think its great when both get together....
..a bit of work and a few cold ones will be done soon....lol..good one , you all stay safe and enjoy your visit..
Loved your video, as usual. We got a quick glimpse of Vicky, so please tell her how lovely she is.
Thanks Larry. :)
Just purchased a grill like yours, looking forward to fixing lots of meals on it with the family 🔥
Those sunrise shots are beautiful!
Thanks Steve!
Thanks for the effort you go to with these videos mate! Always awesome 😎
Well done on the trip too.
Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Stu
Glad you made it in one piece. Can't wait see the work being done. 👍👍💯
Thanks Michael!
Enjoying your trip Stu. Keep the vids coming. Thanks.
Thanks, will do!
Tally Ho joke was great! Good to see how the boat community goes together :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yea lead head of roofing nail old school roof nails, as kids we used them as sinkers.
Cool. Good to hear they were put to good use!
And that concludes Renko's first voyage up the coast!! Nice. Looking forward to the upgrades!!
You guys are silly! :) Alternate Stu approved!
Some beautiful scenery there Stu but I'm looking forward to some more wrenching.
Well done Stu, great voyage 🍻
Thanks Drew!
one thing about the drone of a detroit- you'll either get to ignoring it exists until the sound changes or it'll drive ya complete and total bonkers. i'm guessing stu fits scenario #1
Nice shoreline and ocean views. Careful on melting lead. Don't want to breath the fumes and make sure no moisture around to drip into the melting pot. I have melted bullets and fishing baits but never happened to me. Had a friend had a drop of sweat drip off his nose and it fell into his molten lead and almost emptied the pot from exploding steam. Luckily none of the lead landed on him. Video stabilization on the GoPro makes for great "no shake" video.
You know me, always cautious!
arrived safely and with a beach haul of goodies, whats not to like, lol just a matter of interest was the rifle casing British 303 ? thinking about your comment on reversing ( going astern ) in the Not so UK we use fishtails or small keels fitted to the rudder and it improves water grip and directional improvement, might help.
Not sure, it looked about that size to me. I'll clean it up a bit more and see if I can tell. Small keels may help. So will more practice. ;) Living on the swing mooring at home I don't do a lot of reversing so I'm sure I'll get better at anticipating the transverse thurst. A reverse camera would go a long way too as visibility astern is poor. I can see why people dock from their flybridge.
Nice video
Looking forward to this Collab
Helping with the reverse maneuverability, you could possibly fabricate a flanking rudder forward of the prop.
What a great journey glad things went fairly smooth as it seems, that's quite a haul to where you hailed from. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Thanks James. It has all gone very smoothly so far other than one small problem with the house batteries before we got the lithium.
SO cool Stew," Brupeg" project and your haul out.... nice to see the beautiful South Pacific....
Looks an amazing place. Very jealous.
Great work guys. Enjoy your time in Bundy.
Thanks mate.
Some one was engine jealous!!
Maybe, but Stu has always swooned over the Cummins, its ok Friends always help a friend in need. It's nice to be able to give him something to look up to
He likes diesel eating engines no veggiengines 😂😂😂😂, it’s going to be great having you 2 working together!! Best wishes
Great vid glad to see you enjoying the trlp
Thanks Thomas!
Great to see you and Vick made it safely as we all expected mate...awesome stuff !! Inskip Point and Garry's Anchorage are the 2 spots we stayed on our trailer sailer back in the 80s...we competed in the Tin Can Bay to Hervey Bay yacht race 3 times (not sure if this is still a thing ? ) Fond memories of Fraser and camping aboard every night. Can't wait for the next chapter of Renko at Bundy with the mods and sandblasting / topsides. Oh and the mighty Brupeg going in the water of course. With a Detroit 12-71 Cheers
Thanks Mark, it is a great area to go boating once you are in over the bar. I'm looking forward to seeing the paint done too!
That cartridge I suspect would have come from the Tin Can Bay Army training ground which is just across the water from where you were metal detecting at Inskip Point.
Would have been an enthusiastic Army cadet to get that .303 case to eject across the bay out of his old Lee Enfield. More likely that spent .303 case was used to train a dingo or feral dog.
Hi Stu,, loved the commentary,, good to see you in Bundy I've wandered up and down the east cost of Aussie over the last 60 years but Bundy is sorta home,, Was the rubbish man in Burnett Heads 50 years ago but its grown up a bit since then ,, haha,, keep the vids coming,.. Yet that bit of lead was the head of a Lead Head Roofing nail ,, ,, all roofing nails were lead head until they changed to Spring Heads in the late 60's I guess,,
I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing the size difference between Brupeg and Renko
Brupeg is over 7 times bigger. The size difference is quite noticeable!
He was making fun of you
@@benwinter2420 I don't think he was making fun, sometimes size does matter
@@ProjectBrupeg you are right I was not making fun of anyone I just wanted to see the scale of works…. Brupeg can do many things well but Renko can go places the bigger boats would go aground… horses for courses
Great fun!
Thanks Alison!
Good times.
OMG lol the Damo dig
fkkn G.M. 😂😂😁😁
Apologies if you've addressed this before: did you consider putting your tender on davits? I thought it might reduce drag and fuel consumption over such a long cruise. Hugely enjoying this trip in Renko, and it looks like you and Mrs Stu are too!
Maybe one day, need to get the more essential things done first though.
Looks like the weather is nice up there 👌
This week is much better. I'm glad we are going to get good weather for our time on the hard stand.
@@DangarMarine good to hear. Enjoy it. Stop past the Bundy distillery if rum is your thing.
Im told there is a mud lizard at Garys anchoridge...take care
Greetings from Wasaga Beach Ontario Canada nice Journey Stu!
Hello!
love renko so much
Thanks Zac! :)
☝🏻Top scenes 👍🏻🇦🇺 THANKS Stu 🐬
Thanks Colin, glad you enjoyed.
Stu and Dame. Let's fabricate something out of steel and rebuild an engine or two!
There may just be a bit of that. ;)
Bundaberg Marine down at Burnet Heads is a good place to put the boat up for a look-see. I have helped a mate do his biannual inspection and found the team there to right on top of the jobs. If you wanted a quick turnaround they will really 'pull-the-finger-out".
Well done on your trip North guys. Thanks For sharing but I am a better lake/river cruiser I’m afraid. Stay safe.
Thanks Ian.
I could hear that Detroit Engine down in Melbourne Australia as it was coming in to dock at Bundaberg Qld
True story
@@ProjectBrupeg thought you would like it
ah! you are in the area where I lived for a few years. its so beautiful.
Same! I miss it that's for sure
So cool!
My brother lives up in Bundy, good welder if you need one.
Thanks mate, might need one!
17:05 Nice to hear that screaming Jimmy.
