 You find one more lock nut. Oh, this boat is awesome having used it in a while. It'll be good to get it going again Definitely have to fill in floorboards too These ones have survived pretty well all the other floorboards were starting to rot so I threw them But anyway, look how good that looks And that is excellent paddle wheel Hits up here a little bit Just slide it back before I screw it in place Totally fine Cool Both and washer No bolt and washer No, no, no, that's a net in the washer. What happened? You just did this right like four times Both wash right. Yes. Now. What's next? Washer net next to the tools and do not drop these Hey, don't drop those be very careful. Don't hold them over the water passing me right there You guys got to be careful passing We think four bolts is good enough. Yeah, I'm trying and these are marine grade bolts Shouldn't rest Now push the little button on top of the camera. There's nowhere to sit yet Well, I can't currently steer without the motors, you know, just pedaling because the motors were what steered before If I turn this yeah, that thing at the back there moves. This is always the coolest steering Remember when I made this So many people were like, oh those strings are gonna break like the minute you start using it, but they've Been on there for years So yeah, that's ignore the bicycles bicycle tire but that piece that moved back and forth I would connect to this pipe and then like turn the motors So maybe I can put a rudder back here Connected into that and then that'll work Well, maybe I'll put the rudder on that side since That motor is obviously not being used And then I can have one motor and a rudder And some pedals I'm not sure what I'm actually gonna end up doing for motors on this boat Well, I'll worry about it later. I'll just get the I well I definitely want to be able to go Unpowered with just with pedal power and a rudder. So I'll do that first Then I'll worry about the motors But I also want to change like the whole roof in here and like I Don't know. I mean maybe I don't I mean it's kind of amazing in here, isn't it? Because I like it you want me to leave leave the whole roof Solar panels are probably still in good shape. They're mostly in the shade anyway. You got to move some surfboards out of the way Man, this is an awesome boat. Maybe I shouldn't mess with it too much It is really nice having this this whole thing up here because like you can attach things up here and like Crane them in and out of the water if you take out some floorboards, you know And then back here, it's like a little house. I made it have standing room for me The thing is If I'm driving this in high wind conditions I'm gonna want a lower roof More streamlined some kind of thing. It's not it's not terrible because it's all open the wind can get through here And I have driven this in some really Terrible windy conditions And it made it through and everything It is just whenever I'm in terrible windy conditions. I'm always just thinking oh, I want the boat to be shorter and more aerodynamic and but I mean I Don't know Before I worry about the roof and all that stuff. I just need to get some kind of steering and Then I can drive the boat out into the ocean and Go down and scrape off all these barnacles that have built up Yeah, I gotta get the barnacle. You want to go scrape some barnacles? Yeah, you are getting pretty good at swimming under but these things are sharp you can cut your knuckles on them really easily Well, let's just give this steering wheel an inspection and make sure everything is working right. Yeah, the rollers are good in there This string which turns the main steering column Still in good shape and I made the steering column go all the way to the front So you can stand on the front of the boat and still steer because sometimes you know I want to be up there and still steer and then the steering column goes all the way back To a string there that's wrapped around and down through some pulleys and to that thing at the back there Maybe we should put a little bit of grease in here a little squeaky, but everything seems to be working I also have to clean up all these leaves and crap. This is a gas mask. Yes For doing fiber bus Are you asking me if I can put a steering wheel in front of the boat? Well, it doesn't need a steering wheel. Well, you wouldn't be able to reach it But I can just reach up and grab that and turn it and steer the boat Man, this is such a cool design. It's it's such a It's such a good boat for like working stuff and cargo You can put a lot of cargo on the front there, you know when the floorboards are in obviously and back here too a few times I've had like this full of stuff and up in the front full full and Yeah, I can take some pretty big stuff One time we went somewhere all of us not you you weren't born yet But you and your sister and your mom were all inside here and we were on our way home You guys were all huddled up in there I was driving and the rain was coming in sideways, and it was it was so wavy But you guys were in there. You said you were fine Actually have a video of that five years ago or something. I'll see if I can dig it out Oh, you know what? It's a video of when I was doing building the fiberglass domes So I could find it pretty easily Maybe I should make a couple more Pedal wheels or well even one more pedal wheel with the pedals and everything I can put one right here And then I could have a paddle wheel going here and then one going back there And then I can have you know a whole bunch of people pedaling at once. I can make a kid-sized one Well, you you could do this one. I think actually Bellichicks go sit on this one. I Think both sides the pedals are the same size. So yeah, pick whichever one you want. Yeah, you can totally sit backwards No, you shouldn't get wet actually Oh that got splashed earlier. Yeah, I don't worry about just uh Yeah, so you can just sit right on this thing. I need a chair. That's a little further back Okay pedal forward Yeah, that way that's actually backwards, but it's forward for you Yeah, pedal pedal hard like try to like you're like you're trying to go somewhere You got to move a little bit more forward so you can actually reach the end Keep going keep going keep going don't stop don't stop I guess it'll be it'll be a little smoother when the boat's actually when the boat starts moving because right now every time that The paddles are in the water. They're in stationary water. I'm gonna get you and your sister on this thing Okay, I want to see how convenient it is for two people to pedal. Can't something to sit on that No, no, I want two people to pedal on the same one Like can we both get our feet on this one reasonably to do that? I need I need to make make actual pedals. All right, you pedal there I'll tell you on the on that boat over there Well, you want to go forward or backwards the pedals are actually wide enough that you can get two feet on Oh We're getting fun. We should be getting a little bit on the solar panels. Let's just Sparks, oh it doesn't work. Yeah, it sounds I haven't driven it in years It's maybe the oil slowly dripped out or something. I don't know. Maybe it's just got some I don't know I'll just check it out Yeah, there's my super cool oversized fiberglass But filled with concrete anchor What's really why there's my little windows for when you go inside that zone I just have to figure out. Do I want to do I want to lower it make it more? aerodynamic Or I want to keep it like this Which is better for You know just just being a workboat It's definitely a consideration. I Could just keep using this as the transport boat The problem is that boat can hold like four times what this boat can hold I could put You know fifteen hundred pounds on this boat Before I start getting well like over I can put a thousand pounds of cargo plus myself on this boat without getting nervous I could put a couple tons on that boat. No problem. Yeah, I could put the kids on you guys don't wait
