@@WingingItBoatingonaBudget Yes! Just started watching and am trying to catch up in order. You've done loads of work and the boat's transformation is beautiful. Loved the 'shirtins' and ozzie and your first boat also. Will continue watching. Best wishes from Portland, Oregon to you and yours.
Hi folks. This will be great fun for us viewers - but a LOT of hard work and experimenting for you guys. Terrific stuff. Curtains- brilliant idea,including keeping the pockets ,!!?👏👍😃. Hope the new job works out well too. All the best. Joan
That's great, keep following as we will be showing what we do to the boat and giving the details of exactly how much everything costs... I hope you subscribed to the channel (for free!) and clicked the bell icon so you get notifications when each vlog goes on...
Same here Christopher selling my home to live on a canal boat it's just the thought of using the locks that's a bit worrieing for me and not knowing what's what .
Thankyou, we are excited to get cracking on with it! Hope you are subscribed to the channel and have clicked the bell icon for updates as we put videos on...?
How exciting, another boat another adventure. I can not wait to see what you two get up to. Loved seeing more of Dawn. Make sure your finished for when we get back, Dave's looking forward to the beer sharing as opposed to job list. Take care Sugarxxxx Louise
Hopefully LOTS of adventures to come! Dawns warming to the camera, she doesn't run away anymore! It won't be finished by time your back, the prep work will be done just on time for Dave to get stuck in... With a beer at the end of each day! (Note A beer - The Tight Yorkshireman won't be buying multiple beers!). 🤣🤣🤣💷💷💷🍺🍺🍺
Have you considered using vegetable oil as a fuel on your lister? its cheap as chips when on offer at tesco £3.50 for 5 litres, thats 70p a litre. Or if you are really tight and if you've got the space / patience to settle it and filter it, you can go around chip shops and get their waste oil for FREE. Its cheap, and carbon neutral. I ran my diesel merc on it for over a year until I sold the car. Felt good. Get on the biodiesel and veggie oil group on facebook if you are interested. Lots of us veggie nerds on there.
To be fair at the moment we can use red diesel which isn't too badly priced. But that concession is in the process of being taken off boaters... So it may well be worth looking into veg oil etc in the future (as i do like a baragin!).
It's going to be a good project! Nuts n Volts is a 'techy' type project - all wires and switches... This one is proper on hands on building stuff! I can't wait to get cracking on it properly!
Loved the video. Loved having Dawn in it more. Great progress on Nuts and Volts, and congratulations on Lyndia Lady(?). Looking forward to watching your videos across the pond here in Chicago. Cheers!
Yes it's good to get Dawn more involved, she's a bit camera shy - but getting a bit more used to it now! The new boats name is 'Lyada Lady' (not even really sure how the first word is properly pronounced!). And it's great to have viewers from all over the world - hello to Chicago!
For me, the main attraction (apart from yourselves!) was the electric engine.... as an ex-petrol-head with a BMW i3 as well as numerous fossil-powered garage-queens, I follow numerous car channels, although I am painfully aware that electric is the future and fossils, especially diesels are the past.... i do follow a few canal/barging channels and they are all diesel engined with varying degrees of electric auxiliary power...my real dream is a silent,clean most probably electric future.. in the real world batteries/electric storage are the big elephant in the room...i hope you break the mould and keep trying the electric propulsion.. maybe one day batteries/sun amps etc will be able to replenish quickly and a little more frugally! Electric propulsion is so quiet, clean and makes sense for slow, heavy boats.. diesel is so ubiquitous and yesterday (and polluting!) I won’t stop watching your channel but will pray you eventually ditch the noisy, smelly dinosaur juice motor.
We are still doing the electric drive on Nuts n Volts... Which we will continue to do vlogs about. Realistically this one is staying diesel for now... But once we prove the system on the other boat there's a chance we will then replicate it on this boat. ⚡⚡⚡
@@VictorVictor-hq7ui thanks for the constructive and helpful reply... Maybe you could give a little more info as to why you don't think electric is the future... Perhaps a more useful way of adding a comment rather than a 'throw away line'?

@@WingingItBoatingonaBudget am selling my home to buy a narrow boat but the only thing am really anxious about is using the locks overseen videos of mistakes made people using the locks and have sunk the boat ,if you could do a video on step by step of using a lock may be when you have time that would be great 👍
I'm becoming a bit obsessed with Narrowboating. So much so, I desperately want one. Your boat reminds me of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (my favourite film as a kid) and ugly duckling that could become a glorious swan. I just love her unique shape, just something about her that tells me she could be the best looking narrowboat on the water. Tell me, are you going to replace the fibreglass upper or fix it and, if so, are you going to build her with the same dimensions? Best of luck you two.
The glorious swan is our intention! Yes we are going to rebuild the top, but keep to the same basic size, shape and style. Hope you have watched the rest of the vlogs to bring you upto date with the project. 😁
That is actually a smart looking boat. Looks wider than a normal narrowboat inside. Is it or is the camera making it look bigger. Looking forward to seeing the work.
Its normal width, but the walls are vertical with a flat ceiling so it makes the most of the space and it also makes it feel bigger... We are looking forward to getting stuck into it aswell! Hope you enjoy following our work on the boat, and our adventures along the way!
Owwwwwww an air cooled Lister ST3 Canal Star worth a few bob in good nick - 3 cylinder 1899cc 20hp @ 2000 r/m Air Cooled 660 lb 1967 - 1976 probably older than you : )
The idea is mainly so that when my youngest lad stays it will convert properly into 'his' bedroom, so he will have a single bed with space for his playstation and screen etc. Whereas when we use it we just need a bigger bed. We want it to feel like OUR bedroom when we use it and HIS bedroom when he uses it (not feel like he's just using our room).
There is a plaque on it saying built in 1977 in kippax (Leeds?)... Do you have any more info about dalescraft and why you think ours was built by them, I'd like to find out as much as poss about its history if I can.
It was a design developed by Dalescraft. I have a copy of the advert for it in the Blakes brochure from 1978 (I can't work out how to post the photo on here but I can email you a copy if you give me your email address) Maybe your boat was sold by them as a shell and fitted out by a private owner at Kippax ?
@@01jvb that would be brilliant of you could send me it via email. It's wingingitboat@gmail.com All info would be greatly recieved. And yes perhaps the fitout inside was done in kippax after the shell was built. Cheerd
There is, but in effect all we would be doing is converting the 48v power to 12v. As the power required to generate the power is less than power used to create it. So trying to charge the main battery bank from it would be insuccesfull... ⚡⚡⚡
Ah, we would have a been at work (work gets in the way of playing with boats!). There's a few big trip boats that are best avoided, especially by a small boat like ours!

Fortunately it appears to only be rain water and since getting the bilge pump working it's stayed dry since... As for rust it seems to be 'just' surface rust. But when she's out the water we will be sorting any rust issues - grinder and welder on standby... just in case!!!
I could easily live on your boat! Lovely
I cannot wait to see her finished I think the shape and design is so cool and it’s different to what you see other canal and narrow boats look like
Although we are rebuilding the top we are keeping as close to this style as we can. We like it as it is...
I love your boat and it's unique shape. Will be watching with interest. Love the sound of Yorkshire in your voices, too!

What's the logic behind swapping your bedroom when you have visitors?
The idea is mainly so that when my youngest lad stays it will convert properly into 'his' bedroom, so he will have a single bed with space for his playstation and screen etc. Whereas when we use it we just need a bigger bed.
We want it to feel like OUR bedroom when we use it and HIS bedroom when he uses it (not feel like he's just using our room).

There isn't one at the moment... But when we do the rebuild there will be one (along with a oven!).

Hi on nuts and volts have you got room on the electric motor to fit a belt pulley to drive a alternator to charge the battery
There is, but in effect all we would be doing is converting the 48v power to 12v. As the power required to generate the power is less than power used to create it. So trying to charge the main battery bank from it would be insuccesfull... ⚡⚡⚡
maybe you don't need to have 2 of everything for when you have visitors, you've got 2 boats.
There is that I suppose, only problem is they aren't moored together so can't visit them both at the same time!
