Okay, here's my dream. I'll by 70 in May and I've taken on the project of building a custom antique motorcycle starting with just an engine and frame. I hope to finish by my birthday. I don't know how watching you build a boat relates to that, but I really enjoy watching you turn a race boat into a cruiser.
Wow !!! Hey I really really want that pilot house roof you cut off !!! What are the plans for it ?? Maybe we could make a trade for electronics you need or sails or winches or ??? I have TONS of project leftovers.... Or Rode/Rope ? I have thousands of feet of NEW rope in all sizes and strength variations.....
Great question. The boats official name is Northwest Spirit, and before that it was The Spirit of Minnesota (Mike Plant was a Minnesotan). It has never actually been officially named Duracell, that is just how people know the boat. We have no idea what we will name it, do you have any ideas?

For the record. I don't think you're crazy. You are a champion with a vision worth doing.

Congratulations!! It's never too late! We'd love to see a pic or two.
Way to go!!
This video brought back memories of the smell of burning foam core!🤣
Cool project!
Cheers from Guam! 🇬🇺
I love that you shared about your dream project, Janni!
I'm glad she did too Brooke. It's important work that she's doing. And thank you so much for your contribution, it means so much. :-)
Just found you by way of Maya and Aladino, and crazy is what you get when you don't follow your dreams. I'm very familiar with that!
Looking forward to your journeys ahead.
So are we. This project is quite the journey on its own.
I have no special projects of my own. I'll just follow yours to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks for the video 👍👍👍😁
Glad to have you along for the ride, Jim!
This was my favorite episode so far! A great mix of boat work, friends, and getting to know more about both of you!
Thank you Susan. The project is getting more fun all the time. More to come!
That IS a crazy project. But I’m sure you’ll make it! I’ve noticed that this video thing gives a lot of motivation as well! Have a wonderful year!
Thanks! Yes, the videos definitely help with motivation!
I'm sure your dreams will turn out great! Enjoy watching your progress!
Thanks for your encouraging words :)

Send me an email buddy, it's all yours. theduracellproject@gmail.com
@@TheDuracellProject Ahaaaaa got it. I didnt get a notice you replied and just saw this after watching new Episode !! Talk soon
It was a bit strange to see the logo of MSN go. A bit of historie. But new history to be made! Go for it!!!
Wait to you see the mock up pilot house in next week's episode-it's a really new look.
Will Duracell get a new name at the end of the conversion ?
Great question. The boats official name is Northwest Spirit, and before that it was The Spirit of Minnesota (Mike Plant was a Minnesotan). It has never actually been officially named Duracell, that is just how people know the boat. We have no idea what we will name it, do you have any ideas?
So keep Spirit (as in Something Spirit or Spirit of Something) for continuity/heritage? (Same boat, same spirit!)
@@TheDuracellProject I think your family should think of her name, something that reflects your inspiration maybe 🤔
@@TheDuracellProject
Spirit Of The Forest
Something relating to her rebirth in the woods
I think you're on to something.
Duracell no more.
Great project! I have been binging on it all day!. One comment: since you are "Cat People", shouldn't it be called a "Cat House"?
La Pawz doesn't need her ego stroked any more than it already is. Thanks for watching.
Thar is an unusual coloured cat, what breed is He/She? BTW I totally fine with you changing this into a cat channel.
Thar is a Flamepoint Siamese! We found her as a kitten in La Paz, Mexico. She's a quirky one!
