David, I think too many viewers of yours are missing a few important facts. 1. This is YOUR boat. 2. As you are the owner, you can jolly well do anything you want to it, even glue pink flamingos over the entire outside if you should have the urge. Carry on Sir, and enjoy YOUR BOAT.
My friend and I did exactly the same job on his open Dory. We found out that the original transom was made up of layers of plywood. We replaced it with one solid piece painted with resin and then re glassed the transom. That boat is now towed all over the place making regular trips to Scotland with a 75hp outboard motor hanging on the back. Good luck from “Keith’s Broken Boat”
I found this cliff hanger video absolutely riveting to watch. Will it come off, if not why not?. Yet the best part is your resolve that regardless of what comes along you can fix it. When part 2 comes along I'm preparing a cuppa and a chocolate biscuit just for my nerves.
I love your do it yourself attitude! This is why we watch. My wife and I are from St. Louis Missouri and boated on the Mississippi river for 20 years. Keep up the good work.
First of all, I enjoy your multifaceted approach to this channel. This Yankee has learned quite a bit from your efforts. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly I think most of the viewers have faith in your ability to adapt and overcome. I look forward to your future videos.
It's always a choice between DIY (Do It Yourself) or PSE (Pay Someone Else) ... I respect David's confidence in fixing things as they come, and love following this project.
The thing with small and old boats - getting someone to do things can get easily that expensive, that it would cost more than a similar boat without that problem. Most older boats are total economic losses the moment you buy them and will just be "worth" it, if you try to do most things yourself.
Oh, my goodness. I have laughed until I have tears running down my face. You are so funny, and I am absolutely floored with your ability to remain calm in such stressful situations. I absolutely love Vandemonium and think this is even better. This cliff-hanger is horrible. Please hurry back with the next episode. Thank you! Becky W.
I loved your little rant at the start about people telling you to pay somebody to do the job. As you quite rightly said, the fun is Doing it Yourself. The clue is in the name DIY!
I've been following this channel (and Vandemonium) since basically the beginning. I have no doubt you'll see this project through til the end; complete and better than ever. Looking forward to videos of the boat back out on the canals!
For me you’re doing it the right way and not rushing at it like a bull at a gate…. It’ll be great when you finish, it’ll be sooo much stronger and you’ll know exactly how it’s put together (not the case if you pay to have it done by someone else) … Sure they’ll be setbacks and unforeseen things but once completed they’ll be a huge sense of achievement of which you can be proud …. Also think about all the folk you are helping who will also be having a crack at this repair in the near future… this video series will be a ‘go to’ for fiberglass canal boat transom repair …. Great video thankyou for taking the time to record your efforts 👍
To paraphrase, "Bravely bold Sir David, rode forth from Camelot..." This IS going to work, but, as with all my projects, inconvenient things 'turn up'. I loved the phrase, 'Suddenly a little torrent of brown yuck.' Sounds like one of the dinner parties I have attended. Thank you, David, for your SAS-esqe fortitude -Who Dares Wins!
Love your logic, that its "YOUR D.I.Y." scheme, successful or not. We are only here to watch. I personally will come along, looking over your shoulder, as it were, to enjoy the whole experience and celebrate in your triumph at the end and we witness your re-launching, back onto the waterways. Always enjoyed your channel before, no reason to doubt you now, just take care.👍👍👍
Best of luck. I have learned, over the years, that nothing ever goes as planned. That you suspected that something would go awry, speaks to your experience in this department.
I am sometimes (most times) too nervous to do a project for fear of screwing it up. Your answer to the suggestions of hiring someone at 3:50 has inspired me. Keep up the great work! Love your vlogs!
All very interesting! Your bevelled joint is, I think, called a scarf joint, much used in wooden-boat building. I do like your attitude! I have a 'desert island' approach to fixing things, using what I have on board wherever possible. DIY is indeed not about getting someone else to do it. 🙂
I have a 20ft sail boat and have learned all my repair 'skills' from DIY... only way to learn - thank you for being brave enough to video it all for our enjoyment.
I love your eagerness and enthusiasm when you started, I had that when I first got my rotten boat. Unfortunately it didn't last😂. Nearly two years on I'm (very) slowly getting there, just got the fun of the engine to sort next. It's easy when you say it quick.....sort of! I second your opinion of Fish Bump TV, he's great at explaining things in a way you can understand and seems to be a genuine nice guy with lots of knowledge to share without a load of waffle. Highly recommended 👍
How to scrap a boat: 1. buy inflatable kayak and manual drill 2. load said kayak and drill on back of boat 3. drive boat to center of river (preferably the Themse, but most other deep bodies of water will do) 4. Drill hole in bottom of boat (be sure to also drill holes in any flotation devices) 5. get on inflatable kayak 6. row away 7. watch problem solve itself 8. leave country 9. change name
I live quite close to Lake Michigan. The preferred method of scrapping a boat is to trailer it to a recycle center or scrap yard. We have many boat repair facilities here as we are a port city. We also have quite extreme weather from -25F to over 100F. This plays havoc with our fiberglass and wooden boats. I wish you the best and good luck!
As you have said David, you will never learn anything until you Do It Yourself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained old boy. But as usual David, It will all come together in the end. Happy day's. 🖖👍If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. Or something like that. 😉
You could do with one of those little cheap USB borescopes that fit onto your mobile phone. That might give you a bit of a view in between the layers or tell you whats wood and whats fibreglass. But yes, scary job indeed! brave man.
Loved the video and (especially) the rants, can't believe viewers haven't seen the van channel. Don't scrap Twiggy lots of content there and amusement for us.
About a week of itchy skin ahead, long sleeves maybe an idea to reduce the itchy feeling. That 49 year old fiberglass loves to give a reminder, I wish I had wormed long-sleeved shirt. Life is a learning curve that never ends.
Scrap a boat ? What a novel concept. I was under the impression that the procedure of surrendering a boat project was to sell it on to a new restorer 😁
Looking forward to seeing how this project turns out. I guess with a moderate outboard and mostly sheltered waters the load on the transom should be fairly light. I really like your new boat. Lots of space in a compact hull, looking forward to videos of you cruising the cut in this boat!
Your BOAT is putting up a good 'scrap' as well! The best way to scrap this boat is probably for you to continue to work on it.😇 Thus far, it seems salvageable.😊
You’re a brave soul for taking on such a project! With that said, like you mentioned, you’ve accomplished some amazing projects spot on! Looking forward to seeing the end product.
Scrapping it is as ez as slapping a for sale sign on it, but don't throw in the towel just yet, we've watched you accomplish much more daunting tasks than this! Nevermind the laughing or cursing you may hear in the background. 💪👍
I like your channel as is! I’m speaking of the diversity of subjects, canals restoration, different boats and their owners, even coal barges. Monty Python didn’t just sing “Spam, Spam, Spam”, so you shouldn’t just maim small yellow boats 😂. Keep up the good work
This is by far your best video to date. I especially like your "asides" to yourself. As you've said, it's just fiberglass, so you can fix any damage you manage to do with enough fiberglass. To get rid of a boat, you just remove all identification and sneak away in the dead of night, possible moving and changing your mobile number.
If I may offer some constructive advice? Find a decent sized roundabout and trailer the boat there. Tip it on its side and fill it with soil and flowers. Will look lovely in spring. You're welcome :)
I feel for you (and for myself as it's bringing back terrible memories 😢). Always a pain when one's carefully crafted assumptions and intelligent guesses are found to be wrong. Don't suppose there's a drawing of the construction to be had?
I know nowt about cruising, am terrified of locks and get seasick on the pirate ship at Scarborough. Yet here I am, mesmerised and totally invested in one man and his boat. I got the nervous sweats for you. Xxx
David, we just love your DIY. There are always knuckle-heads who try to bring us down to their level. Should keep their opinions to themselves if they have nothing good to say. Love your explanations & humour. Good luck. Regards from New Zealand.
You are fantastically English. It is wonderful to listen to you. It brings a such warm sense of familiarity. You should be proud of your bravery for such an endeavour, it is no small task. I look forward to your updates! Greetings from the midlands.
What a tool! And by that, of course, I meant the oscillating multi tool saw 😅 Lovely stuff as always, David, I'll stay tuned to see how this all turns out 😊 Cheers
Congratulations!!! I am glad to see that I am not the only one who figures out the situation, after starting to do the work! It was very surprising how you seemed much calmer about the transome situation, then you seemed to be about responding to comments and answering questions at the front of the vlog. I very much enjoy your content, even though it is not all about referbishing the current project. Thank you!!!
As if just being "a youtuber" suddenly renders someone incapable 🙄 As I mentioned in the video, the wood to both sides is encased within its own fibreglass skin that is not contiguous to the transom edge, hence it would not be feasible to drill and fill it as you describe.
I'm enjoying this series immensely. I can't wait for the next episode abd see what's under that fiberglass. Good luck on getting it off and hopefully no more surprises.
If I may suggest and if you have the resources, think about a portable battery pack (those 200 Wh or the like) that you can put in your van(demonium) so that you can charge tools. Farmcraft101 actually has quite some reviews on those.
@@CruisingTheCut true! Forgot that you have big batteries. What I meant is that there portable batteries are portable. That is even without van one can carry them.

Thank you, YES, and even if it sinks, I've still enjoyed the learning and the experience!
@desertrose2059 - ooh! Yes! By all means, pink flamingos! 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩😂😂😂
Absolutely! Well said! Out of curiosity, I wonder how may of the negatively commenting "experts" speak from actual experience? 😊
Lorna would love it if you painted pink flamingos all over your boat…😂😂😂
Precisely! Well said, carry on David.
I think the process of scrapping a boat starts with cutting off the transom......
😳
😂😂😂😂 now that was funny! 👍
😆😆🤣🤣
😂
David, hire some boat elves to help!
I can't believe you didnt call it "cutting the cruiser"... Hope it all goes well in the end
LAMO
Exactly my thoughts. But 'cruise-r' with very tiny letters - as the boat is. 😂
Quit talking for nothing..just get on with it
Poor Twiggy. It always looks worse before it gets better. Good luck, sir.
I have done this repair, don't freak out it is doable, and you can make the boats transom even stronger. Don't give up.
My friend and I did exactly the same job on his open Dory.
We found out that the original transom was made up of layers of plywood.
We replaced it with one solid piece painted with resin and then re glassed the transom.

It’s your boat, your project, you do you! Having fun following along on the discovery.
This is what I call jumping in with both feet !!! Can't wait to see how it goes !! Cheers from Florida.
You and me both!

I love your do it yourself attitude! This is why we watch. My wife and I are from St. Louis Missouri and boated on the Mississippi river for 20 years. Keep up the good work.
People that don't know that you can handle (and enjoy!) DIY projects are surely new viewers. They will learn.
If I only would have 1/100 of your energy. You are an awesome inspiration!
Hahaha I take a nap every afternoon so I'm not entirely sure that's correct!!
The best laid plans of both mice and men sometimes go awry. It’s how you adapt and carry on that’s important. I applaud your efforts good sir.❤
Part of the fun is learning more about your boat!
Keep up the excellent work, we all know that you’ll not let this beat you!
That's the plan!
Go for it David. I learned to build boats, both wood and fiberglass, make your mistakes, learn things first hand. I never regretted the mistakes.
Judging by all the TH-cam recommendations I get, the easiest way to scrap a boat is to sell it to another TH-camr...
Ah don’t worry David, as you said at the beginning. It’s why you’re doing this - to learn (and help us learn something new too).
First of all, I enjoy your multifaceted approach to this channel. This Yankee has learned quite a bit from your efforts. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly I think most of the viewers have faith in your ability to adapt and overcome. I look forward to your future videos.

Cut the back off your boat you say? What could possibly go RIGHT?!🤣

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
That would be something to see
Gosh David at a loss for words...Have fun...bless you..take care.
What does not kill you, sends you off to buy more supplies and make the project stronger!❤
Heck ya! Dig into it for the experience. You got skills and will learn more as you go!

Well, you certainly don't mince words when something gets you going!! I had to laugh several times during this episode. Love it.
“Is this the fun part? Are we having fun yet?” - random old movie quote that seemed to fit😂
Oh David - I really shouldn't, I know, but I was in stitches at the end. Perfect comedy!
You could do with one of those little cheap USB borescopes that fit onto your mobile phone. That might give you a bit of a view in between the layers or tell you whats wood and whats fibreglass. But yes, scary job indeed! brave man.
Only about a tenner off Amazon.
I don’t about Britain’s auto parts stores but a lot of the auto shops will set you up with one from their loaner tools program.
It’s all about the journey! Love this stuff and your sense of humor!
Loved the video and (especially) the rants, can't believe viewers haven't seen the van channel. Don't scrap Twiggy lots of content there and amusement for us.
Seen the van channel, foreshadowing of things to come!
I cannot believe I get enthusiastic when I see the posts for re-doing the boat. Enjoying it. Thank you for filming and editing and posting.
NOAH of the 21 century!
Well done David , your enthusiasm is inspiring.
Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant. So good to watch and listen. You will succeed. Your DIY skills are amazing.
You are doing great. Drill some test holes if needed. Well done.
I have great faith in you, your abilities and determination. It will seem a little sketchy for a while but it'll be fine in the end.

Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱.
I have little understanding of floating things but, as far as I'm aware, you're OK as long as the front doesn't fall off.
Absolutely right, lots of sailing boats don't have backs anyway.
I so love your channels….enjoy the process..
Real life used boating adventures! Thanks for being so candid for the rest of the world!
another great video, thanks for taking us along!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
If "this" (the refurbishment) works out then I suggest a renaming ceremony. I think Phoenix might be appropriate.
Very best wishes.
This is by far your best video to date. I especially like your "asides" to yourself. As you've said, it's just fiberglass, so you can fix any damage you manage to do with enough fiberglass.
