Hey Bro There's your boat, Cool looking good Glad she's getting the love she deserves She's in good hands Take care, Hopefully next year will be better for Everyone world wide
Good to see the restoration on this it helps me a lot, probably i have the only one in existence in the UK but i own a Bare plywood Hartley Tide Song 27ft cruiser. Its in immaculate condition due to never going in the water in the 56 years of its life, that will soon change though. Im going to be living on it and its got 7 holes in the hull and the transom needs replacing its got no interior, electric, gas or fuel or engine but im adding it all back in. Its fun. Keep up the videos there great to watch!
@HarpersBoatShed id say so its absolutely hectic for me especially when im only 18, i hope to be the only owner of my vessel as i plan to do a full "tally ho" to her once i get another vessel established to live on. If you know what i mean by a tally ho then that would be a task. May i ask is your vessel fully fibreglass over ply on the hull or painted plywood?
Hi mate, yeah I fully understand what you mean by "Tally Ho" restoration and that is a gigantic undertaking and something I would love to see. Kiarra is a fibreglass over ply hull. She was originally a blank boat when it was built but was heavily reworked by the previous owner around 5-7 years ago. If you want to I would be interested to see someone photos of your Hartley, the best way to send photos is via email harpersboatshed@gmail.com. Cheers Tim
Lol yep sure do. Not sure how the whole merch side of it will go. I'm still wanting to do something but hard to find companies locally that are happy to do small order stuff. Hopefully one day though mate 👍
When you cut out the rotten timber, you really need to join in new pieces with a 12 to,1 skive, so it's an angle cut 12 times the thickness of the timber ,IE: I the timber is 20mm thick the join is 240mm long . This means that the joint will be strong as it has a larger glue line. A multitude is a great tool for what you are doing, 1 with variable speed is very useful, also bunnings hav less expensive blade kits, and sanding backing pads, . Sharp tools when working with timber, also an angle grinder with a sanding disc is useful, I suggest 40 grit discs.
So this is an older episode that I re uploaded from my other channel. It was originally filmed earlier this year. The next few videos are all about getting her out of the water and there is heaps of work that was done then too
I actually enjoyed up going with a canister toilet. Lots of reasons but the amount we use the boat and the ease of installation were the main ones. Also cost was a big factor

Good job mate! You love showing off your bilge 😂😂. If you do end up making some merch let me know. I will definitely buy some.
Lol yep sure do. Not sure how the whole merch side of it will go. I'm still wanting to do something but hard to find companies locally that are happy to do small order stuff. Hopefully one day though mate 👍

I did end up getting a Milwaukee multi tool and absolutely love it
It will be a big help to get her pulled in the meantime good tine to make all the issues available so they can be Prioritized thanks for posting

yes@@HarpersBoatShed

I hope you replace your Tiolet with a macerater and not a vacuum flush , you will regret it if you install a vacuum flush with all the blockages.
