- Despite the changeable weather, Barry is cracking on with the jobs with the aim of getting the Lynsey B back in the water by the beginning of April. This week he strips down the console to refurbish the covers. He also takes off the scuppers and the winch for the pot hauler.
Baz also unveils the number of tubes of Sikaflex he used in the construction of the Lynsey B.

Barry, it's like a breath of fresh air watching your videos, thank you and keep them coming.
Thank you so much for the kind comment, John. We really appreciate your support 😍😁👌
I am glad we fish the fresh waters of the Great Lakes in Michigan, U.S.A. We have far less corrosion and maintenance issues. Although the deep winter freeze here means you have to been very careful about winterizing the engine a boat hull!
Thank you for your very informative comment.
We have friends in Canada who have the same trouble as yourselves with the cold.
In Scotland, we get all seasons in 1 day, but it's nothing compared to what you guys get.
Good luck with you fishing. Stay safe.
All the best.😁
@@onemanandhisboat That is a right stout little ship you’ve acquired (and a bit pretty as well).
The rudder stops look as though they could catch a pot line. Can you pull the prop without removing the rudder (you may want a semi circle cut out in the rudder. My great grandfather ‘George Wilson and his bride Abigail Jones came to Canada from Scotland before settling in Michigan, U.S.A.
Cheers….Gary!
@highwatercircutrider the rudder stops, were taken off the outside of the boat when she arrived. They are now in beside the ram, as everything, it's very hefty, too💪😁👌🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, I can't take the prop of, without taking the rudder off, but with most little boats, we have to do that.
The closer the rudder is to the prop, you get better stearage, so cutting a hole in the rudder would do more harm than good, but thank you for your suggestion.
All the very best.😉👍
Great to see you getting some of your jobs done on your boat 👍🦞🦞🦞
Thank you Richard.
Plenty to do, but getting through them now.😁👌
I keep a little spray bottle of oxalic acid on my boats to squirt any rust when it becomes noticeably annoying. The crystals are cheap on ebay and you mix it with water. Spray, leave for 10 mins and it's gone like magic, sometimes takes 2x for rust I've left for too long. Seeing your cat catcher makes me want one for my 19' cygnus. Maybe a project for next winter.
Hi Anthony.
Thank you so much for your comment and advice.
I'll try that😁👌sounds like the perfect solution to the problem. After all, prevention is far better than when it's too far gone😁👌
Just be careful on the cat catcher bud. It can add a tremendous amount of weight to the back of the boat.
The only reason I put 1 on board is somewhere to put the liferaft🙈😂😂😂 the MCA never think about space when it comes to wee boats, just as long as they abide by the rules.😡😡😡🙈🙈🙈🙄🙄🙄🙄
Good luck if you take the project on💪😁👌
All the best, bud, and thanks again for your top tip.😍😁👌
Morning Barry, Dave from broadstairs here. Having some more chemo for my leukaemia but should be out for the good weather in 2/3 weeks. What a great professional video,always enjoyable. You are very good in front of the camera, not a skill given to all. Maintaining a boat seems to be worse than maintains a house. People don’t realise the work involved do they? Looking forward to seeing you out on the water. Best wishes to you Jeff and the family. Dave
Hi Dave.
I hope you're feeling okay with chemotherapy treatment 🤞🙈
And we certainly are sending all our best wishes and love for a speedy recovery.
Yeah, this is true about the cost of a boat and the upkeep.
I just wish these government bodies would understand, but as usual, they don't give a damn.🙄😡🙈
We can't wait to get back to sea ourselves. It's certainly been a long time coming💪
Unfortunately their is still LOTS to do, and time is ticking so fast at the moment 🙈😂😂😂😂
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, buddy.
All the very best.😁👌
❤
Have you never thought to put a cuddy forward to give you and more importantly your instrument panel some respite from weather and sea water ingress ?
You've got two weeks left !!
Hi Rick.
Thank you for your comment and suggestion.
I have designed the Lynsey B in the way the original designer ( Mr Gary Mitchell) intended these boats.
Basically, it's a BIG open boat, but with obviously a Baz interpretation of that open boat, to suit my needs.
I have had a vessel set up like this before, and it works really well, and with space limited, the last thing a wee boat needs is a big wind catching wheelhouse. Besides, I'd be too big to fit in one😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the countdown, I'm trying.💪💪💪💪🦞🦞🦀🦀🦀
Good work Barry. I also hate rust on my boat, I’ve had to replace “stainless” washers & nuts also. I Keep a magnet to check the grade is A4. If it magnetises in the slightest I won’t use it. Why didn’t you go for a gunnel roller instead of a block?
Hi Bud.
As always, thank you for your comment and support. It means the world to us.😁👌
I actually tested every single bolt nut and washer before I fitted them, exactly like you described.
It's really confusing as every other nut and washer is fine on the boat, it's just where the pot hauler is 😲🤔
I'm just going to clean that area up and replace them.😁👌
I'm old skool 💪 plus we are were trying to save space on a small vessel....AND, rollers are no good when their are ball ups, and with the over fishing going on in my area, a ball up is certainly inevitable. 😁👌
I hope that answers your question 😁
All the very best.😉👍
Good to see 'my' Health and Safety sticker is still on the boat 😎
Pride and place brother.💪😁👌 they seem to be taking the punishment quite well.
I just hope the MCA officer looks at them on my next inspection 🙈💪💪💪😂😂😂😁👌
Take care, my friend. Heal well.😁👌
This was so interesting, so much work, it was interesting to see you working on the consol and seal and how you cleaned up the rust lots of interesting comments on cleaning up rust too, I'd seen her number plate and wondered if you'd have to get a sign maker in, but you're even doing that yourself , realy enjoyed this, take care with that arm now all the best
Hi Anne.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments.😍😁👌
I'm glad you found this interesting.
Boats are a terrible upkeep, and we also need nicer weather to get on.
Let's hope that starts happening & soon.🤞🙏 as I really need to be back at sea ASAP😂😂😂😂
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
All the very best.😁
Lot of work Barry with a smile, I'm glad you take time to make the videos THANKS.
Hi Danny.
TBH, if it wasn't for Jeff, I would never have the time just now. 🙈
I'm so grateful that he is 1 3rd of a strong team.😍😁👌
All the best, bud.😁
Hi Baz hope your well. Some upkeep that boat owning malarkey is.. Baz on the boats console you have a Army Cap Badge can i ask the relevance and what connections you have to it.. Also isbit the Royal Scots cap badge or some other former Scottish regiment?
Bloody boats eh Barry….. but as Noel Coward once said “A ship can’t be happy unless she’s efficient and she certainly won’t be efficient unless she’s happy.”…..fair winds mate.
Thank you for your comment, Bob.
We really appreciate it, bud, and not a truer phrase said.
They are so expensive little things, the worst thing about it, the bigger the boat the more money it costs to keep🙈😂😂😂😂 than god we downsized 😂😂😂😂
All the very best, sir 😁
I will think about you as we spend the next week or so at our favourite Lake Rotoiti, we will be just tooling around, snagging the odd slimey, and generally relaxing. Keep slogging away buddy….I will have a dram or 3 for you…😂😂
Hi Barry, just to say, after you have traced your boats name you need to pounce the letters. Pricked your traced letters, then use powdered chalk in a cloth to replicate your letters. Easy really. Oh and one stroke the letters with the paint, not bitty. Good luck fella.
Hi Garry.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and support 😍😁👌
That's very helpful advice, bud, i really appreciate it 😍😁👌
I have a friend who's a sign writer, I might get him to do me a solid instead of cheaping out 😂😂😂😁👌
Hope you have a great weekend.
All the very best.😁
Consol cover is probably one of THE most important jobs electronic gear is very expensive, at least over here it is. Glad to see your arm is now good 💪💪
Hi John.
Thank you for your comment. We really appreciate it. 😁👌
That's always been the plan from day one. But unfortunately, I've never had the spare money to get a cover made.
With still in the early stages of building our business, our money lies else where and still will do for a year or two yet.😞🙈
Arms great John 💪 I'm nearly back to full power, which is fantastic when you think I could hardly lift a cuppa tea before the operation 😁👌
Thank god for our NHS😍❤️😁👌
Enjoy the rest of your week, sir.
All the best.😁
the washers and nuts if st/steel will be 308 or 304 and will rust in salt or sugar so change them to 316L st/steel to solve this issue.
Hi Marshall.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I really appreciate your input.😍😁👌
You are so right!😁👌 but trust me bud, it's all supposed to be A4( 316L). Well, that's what I paid for!🙈 I even took the magnet to them before I fitted them🤷♂️ it's all very strange. 😜😲
Their are other washers and nuts throughout the boat bought at in the same batch, and they've not rusted.
It seems in that area near the pot hauler that this has happened and no where else. 🤷♂️🙈
I'll be cleaning the area and replacing those nuts and washers and keep an eye on this to see if it happens again( let's hope not🤞)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
All the best.😁
I buy my stainless fixings from ACCU....top quality...a little more expensive than some but well worth it
Hi Paul.
Thank you for your advice, I'll look into that.😁👌
All the best.😁
Keep up the good work you'll get there in the end.
Thank you, Chris.
We really appreciate your support 😍 😁 👌
All the best, sir.😁
i bet the bog roll used to be like tracing paper when you was at school mate ;-) 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 Great minds, bud. I was thinking the exact same thing when I started to unroll it🙈😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣@@onemanandhisboat
Gady mate there is always something to be done on a boat , check this check that move things about to make it better or at least try . So far on my little tub i have had to raise the engine and try to get the motor to run in a straight line ,after getting some advice and looking on encyclopedia you tube i have had to adjust the trim tab on the gearbox of the engine all trial and error . Here we have two types of stainless 304 and 316 , 316 is the better but ive found the 314 is good enough (plus its cheaper) to see those nuts rusted something wrong there almost like there not even stainless after only 18 months , the timber will always need work doesnt matter what you finish it with oil, marine varnish the sea and sunlight will eventually get it . Just a question the landing at the back you removed what is that for creel storage ? Anyway tell geoff to stop playing with his toys and give you a hand , typical crew anytime they can skive off they will 😂take care captain .
😂😂😂 hi Crisp buddy.😉👍
Loved that last bit of your comment about Jeff😂😂😂😁👌
Oh, you're so right about all the work that goes into keeping a vessel, and everyone has their own standards.
Some just use them as a tool, others it's their pride and joy, a triumph of working so hard and reeking the benefits of that work.
I'm glad to say that you and I are both a like. These boats, no matter the size, can NEVER be tools.😍😁👌
I hope you find that sweet spot for your engine on your tub. Sounds like you're getting closer with each little attempt 💪😁👌
The cat catcher, as we call them.
Is there for a little extra space for stowing empty boxes and, as you can see, somewhere to put that muckle, heavy liferaft!
These pen pushers have no idea that practically of their safety equipment on a small vessel, is actually a risk itself, BUT as long as we do what they say, and keep abiding by there ridiculous rules, they are happy.🙈🙄
Not that I'm complaining about having a very important piece of safety equipment aboard. It's just their way of demanding, no! It must be a 54kg 4 man liferaft😲😲😲🙄🙄🙄 aye, for 1 person, maybe 2🙈🙈🙈🙈
Can't teach stupid. I'm afraid, though, buddy.😂😂😂😂😂
Right pal, good luck with the continuing saga of your outboard alignment, I look forward to the next edition 😍😁👌
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the next time, you'll have found that sweet spot.🤞🙏😁👌
Have a great week, champ.
All the very best.😉👍
Braw day today so fingers crossed you get back in the water soon 👍
Thank you, bud.
I really needed to be pulling gear by now, this damn stinking weather.🙄
More rain due heed this week too🙈 we're just not getting a chance 😞
Enjoy your week ahead, pal.
All the best.😁
Harpic power plus 10x on the rust stains
Thank you for the tip, Leroy.
If this stuff doesn't, which I have, I'll give that a try.😁👌
Thank you so much for your comment and suggestion, we really appreciate your support 😍😁👌
is that the badge of the royal scots 🤩
The finest regiment the Army ever had.❤️😍😁👌
She will soon look new again Barry 👍
Oxalic acid by chance / works well on rust stains, not so good on actual rust. You could also try any kitchen cleaner that has its base in citric fruits like lemon will also lift rust stains, and if given long enough surface rust on stainless steel, but that's really best done by soaking in a tub of water & citric acid.
Oxalic acid also so called 'wood bleach' doesn't smell nice, so wear a mask and gloves as it will burn you, but for all that its quick and easy.
Good luck 🍻
Hi Neil.
I hope you're keeping well, bud.
Thank you so much for your advice.
I really appreciate it 😍 😁👌
I'll get onto that if my stuff doesn't work.😉👍
Can't wait to get her ship shape and at sea again.
It's been a long winter.🙈😁👌
All the best.😁
How about a waterproof cover over your whole console when you are not at sea. I'm sure most of the water and UV damage is caused when you are on your mooring .
Hi Brian.
Thank you so much for your comment, we really appreciate your input and support.
It's always been an idea from the start, but unfortunately, I've never had the spare money to follow it through.
You never know, hopefully this year or next.🤞🙏😂😂😂😂
All the best.😁
I’d say you’re getting the rust staining from your nuts and washers stainless being contaminated from something, using a chrome plated socket or spanner maybe? Not so much the quality of the fasteners, that’s what it looks like to me buddy! Hope you’re doing well and the family also chief, and good luck! 👍💪
Hi buddy.
That has to be the most sensible cause of the problem I've heard yet Scott, well done, San👏👏👏😁👌
Yup, she was put together using well-used sockets and spanners😲
The only thing that is bugging me is that it's the only area that has these marks, yet the rest was built with the same dodgy sockets and spanners🤷♂️
Who knows 😂😂😂😂 I just know I now have to fix it. Hopefully, half a day will see this job complete 😁👌
Aye, all good here, skipper😍😁👌
I hope your lot is all well and healthy 😍😁👌
All the best, buddy.😁
