- Welcome to episode 38 of the wooden boat liveaboard journey. In this episode I replaced a rotten frame in the interior port side. I also added additional support to the deck using three-quarter inch plywood and applied another coat of epiphanes multi-marine primer to the fibreglassed wheelhouse roof.
My channel is dedicated to sharing the process of restoring and repairing a beautiful 1940 Seaplane Tender into a fully functional liveaboard.
The boat is a 1940 seaplane tender initially used by the Royal Air Force during WW2. The hull is built of double diagonal mahogany hull planking and oak ribs. My parents bought this boat more than 30 years ago and used it for weekend trips up the lake. Unfortunately, as they became busy with work it was left idle for many years falling into disrepair. So I've started to invest time into repairing the boat and transforming it into a liveaboard.

Progress is coming along so nicely. As always - I love seeing these fantastically updates.
Good effort, nice to see things being done without super expensive tools and workshops!
Another interesting vid ... look forward to seeing you living aboard
Nice to see you back.
Thanks for watching.
I have watched form the beginning. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Keep up the great work !!! Much love from Houston, Texas.
Thank you for such kind words 🙏
Sĥe coming on nicely well done 😊😊
Great work! It's really coming along. Gorgeous location too. All the birds chirping. It looks so peaceful 😊
If you want to seal the end grain in the planks screw holes, cotton buds work really well.
Great update 2x👍
My friend I really love your videos, how you work om your boat, good job
I have been cut twice (badly) in my life with an angel grinder without a safety cover. Slow to learn a lesson I hear you say. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos!!
Thanks for the heads up Tom. Safety is definitely paramount and easy to overlook especially nearing the end of a day when fatigue sets in.
Looking good mate, please keep up the good work I like the way you are using the epoxy.
Doing a great job, but 1 suggestion, when you epoxy things together, try do it on the bare wood. not on painted wood. then the epoxy can get into the wood grains and get more strength.
Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching. I only apply to bare wood.
It's so much work, but I am jealous. You are going to have such a great boat. Remember, one job at a time and pace yourself.
Thanks! day by day we'll get there.
Stay with it, I cant wait to see it after you fiberglassed it!
Thanks Ray. I plan to fiberglass the forecabin roof shortly, fingers crosses we get a good spell of weather.
Your comments on iron sickness in wooden boats are not overstated. My boat is a case study in why you NEVER use steel or iron fasteners on a wooden boat. She's 22 years newer than yours and way more stoutly built, but 10 times more rotten.
Thanks man, yu have a mission ahead of you but nothing you can't accomplish. I'm following along. Thanks for watching.
👍
Good work.
i was shown how to put a disc on only hand tight but lock it and turn the nut and disc to snug it up, then when yon come to remove it you don't need the spanner ever again.
I’ve been enjoying your boat restoration for some time now. Keep up the good work! FYI; “quad” is short for quarter-round, not quadrant.
Thanks for that, funny enough the quad is listed everywhere as quadrant here. Maybe European terminology.
Ambitious, attempting to move in this year. Lots still to do even with good weather. Leaks, power, heat, dampness once you start living aboard, condensation and mold near clothes and food.
I live right next to it so I won't be moving aboard suddenly. The bare minimum.
Livable not yet live in.

What a massive wet blanket you are. 🙄
Keyboard experts like you need to reel your neck in - let the lad fix his boat as best he can within his budget. He's doing a decent job.
You're making great progress with your work. It's nice to watch. I always look forward to the next episode. I think I missed part of the removal of the cotton material from the cabin roof. What was the reason for this? I have a dilemma whether to use cotton in my yacht. Kind regards.
Thanks for coming back. Unfortunitely the canvas went moldy on us. Maybe this was because the glue I used was waterbased, eventhough it has worked for others. The paint I used was exterior paint so it was hardly the paint. I guess water worked it's way into the canvas. Soon I'll fibreglass the foremost cabin.
@@LakesideProductions Thank you for your answer, I'm waiting for the next episodes :)
Is that the same sailboat in the background (around 8 minutes) that was on the bottom and all you could see was the top of the mast?
It's a different sailboat. The other is still there.
Hi - love your videos. Does anyone ever sail that sailboat in the background?
That is my late uncle's boat. It'll need some fibreglass repair work to get her back in check.
Is there a particular reason for using flat head screws versus Phillips head screws?
It is easier to clean out the groove when it is time to remove them. Cleaning a Phillips, Star or Square drive is very difficult but a Slot head is comparatively easy.
That's what they used on the construction originally so I don't see a need to change them up. The odd time we've used stainless in the past for repairs. I'm trying not to mix metals as much as possible although it's not as much of an issue as we are on fresh water.
Do you like that stubby screwdriver you are using? I see it a lot. 😊
The Yankee screwdriver fell into the drink. I need to locate it.
It pains me to see you set flat head by hand!
