Dave, I have found a great appreciation for this video now that my ZIp is done. graet job on the boat. I spent $5k and 300 hours on my boat. On lauch day I spent 10 hours on the boat, with every one who wanted a ride. It was a million dollar day. I figure Im up $995,000. Nice video. Jim
That's exactly my next project! Beautiful job, sir. Everything is perfect about that boat - the size, the shape/style, the color, even the swim platform which you don't see too many of on runabouts and everything else. Well done.
Well done, as a fellow Riviera builder I am very impressed with your workmanship and design details. I like the video appreciating the difficulty fo getting great shots of the boat underway.
That's a fine boat you have Dave! I have no problem with the music as I too have become a firm believer in Christ! The boat came out exceptionally well and Im proud of you. Its beautiful.
Nice job and this is from an atheist boater who purchased his first boat at the age of 10. Now 57, I still own a boat. I don't think I have been without one for more than a few months.
Dave, the music is beautiful! Person's that make negative comments about other people's choices need to find TRUE PEACE. (John 3:16). I think that boat is amazingly beautiful! You did a fantastic job. Congrats!
This is one of the most inspiring videos on youtube ever. My dream is to build a similar craft w/ my son. Maybe one lucky day I will meet you on tablerock Ill be the one in a 78 ouchita. May you be blessed
Can not understand some of the negative remarks. My Dad once told me "If you want to avoid criticism then do nothing". It requires no talent or ability to find fault. I personally love the boat and the music.
@xxxpowersports Sir - I just saw question. I spent right at $22,000 USD to build Midnight Cry. It took one year from beginning to launch = 900 manhours. I took another 300 hours to fine tune and refinish the deck
Dave, was this in kit form, or did you fabricate all of it from plans? 22k seems really low for all that mahogany. I'd love to build one myself. Thanks
GLEN-L MARINE creates and sells boat plans. Jethro on NCIS TV show (CBS) has "built" several boats in his basement. You might see it on various episodes.
Dave - Fabulous job on the boat!!. I'm nearing completion of my Glen-L Zip and am ready to caulk the deck seams. I was intending to do them white (epoxy mixed with glass bubbles) but saw your dark seams and really liked the look. What material did you use?
Dave, I'm sorry, but I came through the back door. Awesome. Thanks for sharing your adventure and that is actually what it has been. Not only for you, but for the rest of us too!!! I can't wait for Midnight 2 to begin. I hope you were able to airitatate (or what ever I said) the lake. Oh, BTW fart bubbles don't count. LOL Thanks for sharing!!!!
Judging from the soundtrack you don´t really need that boat (you should be capable of walking on water with the best out there)! That said it is an utterly beatiful boat and every now and then the soundtrack is great - ie. V8 rumble not the halleluja stuff.
@hordikk Sir - The song is called "Midnight Cry". It is a song derived from 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 Verse 16 which speaks of the day the heavens open and my Lord Jesus Christ calls His people home with a trumpet blast. The trumpet blast is known as the "midnight cry" It is my favorite song for I sincerely look for the day to meet my savior. Do you know him?
Awesome Boat. Unique name. Music only fits too well. I see why so many people dont like the music. Its very offensive. It cuts to the soul and is honest. It doesnt surprise me people dont like it. Chaff and wheat ole friend. Keep that beautiful boat in a garage please.
@BransonDave Hi David, Is there somehow a way I can get access to your Riviera construction pictures again? Got stuck in the construction of the transom. any thanks! Still a fan your your project!! Cheers Sam
A truly beautiful boat, but you cant run around in a beauty like that with such sloppy handling of lines. Keep her ship shape when underway. Also, with regard to choice of music, keep the focus on the boat
1 Thess 4 speaks of the day the heavens open and Jesus appears to call his people home. The first to rise will be physically dead in Christ followed immediately by those still living. In the first chapter of Acts, the angels ask the disciples why they stare to the heavens for Jesus will return in like manner. The last chapters of Revelation speak specifically about Jesus returning to establish the millenial kingdom. He will be riding a white horse with Kings of Kings written on his hip
Adding Jesus music to a boat video would be considered by many to be proselytizing. Is it any surprise that there are so many negative comments? There are literally billions of people who do not love, let alone believe, in Jesus Christ. You have a very nice boat my friend. You should consider losing the Jesus music.
Thank you for the comments on Midnight. We each have our own likes and dislikes about music. This music means something to me personally. It is unfortunate you chose to denigrate my choice of music. Have a good day nevertheless.
mrmatymoo I respectfully disagree, this song carries meaning for myself as well. We all have music that touches us. This amazing craftsmanship I can't wait to build a boat in the near years to come.
Dave,

awesome, you gave your boat a spiritual touch "nice." GOD " sure gave you a talent ,thanks for sharing

How does Mr. Lott not burst his chest with pride ?! Folks that merely have something like a Sea Ray won't understand this.
Great boat.
Congratulations, she’s a looker.
JESUS CHRIST - That is a nice boat!!!

Great boat. I would have liked to heard
the engine over the music.

Until you're better paid by "that" final acclimation , well done Sir .......P.S. Nice boat also....

Hi Dave sweet ride. Can you tell me how many layers on and side and how thick your veneer is? thx James.
Hi Dave, Do you still have that website with all the building process pictures? I can't find it anymore. Regards Sam
Ok, found it again

Could have easily done without that funeral music !
great boat. really. music just throws me right off. SHUT IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE..
When you make a sweet boat that is worth a video on youtube, you can put any music you want on it.
My browser has a mute button. Doesn't yours?
beautiful boat but what the hell is that bloody music!
