I Broke My Boat on the First Trip 🤦‍♂️ (50 hours to Fail) 

I want to buy a Timmy turtle t-shirt that captures an immortal moment of George punching a dart while laying a perfect bead, eyes closed, no mask.

Man I really appreciate you for being so open and talking about money. You didn’t need to, many think it’s taboo but you did and it makes us all realise we all can be in the same positions. Anyway love your work man. Happy days.

Long time subscriber. Appreciate the honesty Timmy, I don't admire your situation but you've now got one heck of a boat to continue making content with! Just need regular uploads now to keep the views coming in.

Dude for the people who want to support you by chucking some cash in your account can you please post up your PayPal email. Just call it fuel fund PayPal and pin it every video.

Happy to see you back in the water Timmy. Seems like lots of work ahead but youve got the hardest behind you mate. Keep posting and we will be here cheering and supporting you as you come back.. 💪🤙

You’re a dead set bloody legend, for just having the will and drive for making it happen! Take your time and nut out a proper fix for your roof, cause it’s soooo good

Timmy, Just remember that fortune favors the bold, many of us have been in your spot financially before and sometimes it’s hard to see past it, but you will look back on it and have learnt something or laugh about it. Keep pushing forward mate, you have a shit tonne of supporters right behind you wanting and willing to see and help you succeed. My 94yo neighbor Bob, has a classic saying that I absolutely love and it’s “good things happen to good people, everyday” , and you Timmy are a good person. Regards Anthony.

Experimental products fail sometimes but it’s the way a business goes about rectifying the issue. You can see the type of man George is to own up and fix it! I don’t see this as an issue at all! You should start to do merch or a go fund me or something though mate. People don’t mind giving a few bucks to cover entertainment they like and that’s what you are providing. We all know RU-vid makes their content creators like slaves because that’s who they are. They are dogs!

Mate chuck a go fund me up to get some fuel in the tank and get ahead. There’s a bunch of people that would be happy to chuck you a $20 and it adds up quick

Cheers for your support and an awesome day out mate

The most challenging part is believing in yourself when your bank balance isn’t there. I know exactly where your coming from.

Looked like a great day! Loved the boat build videos. Once you catch up, bigger reels!

Your honesty and transparency with the build is really admirable. Thank you for the update!

Great to see the boat whisper on the job at the end with a plan.

Timmy it makes me sad to hear that you’ve only pulled $60 000 in 6 years, bc your my favourite fishing RU-vidr, so relatable and you have a wicked sense of humour. Best of luck on this next venture. I hope your health improves and the stress decreases.

Dont you stop timmy mate keep smashing along. Have loved the build series and george is a beauty too. Confident that this will be a bullet proof boat. Start a gofundme id be happy to put some dollars towards the cause

Yes Timmy great to see you back out on the water love your videos your a legend

George will fix it! Cos Thats what Georges do👍👌

Mate get a targa top with a waterproof fabric roof instead. Best of both worlds, low weight, rain top, lights up top. But yeah repeated stress will crack ally easily. Edit: After actually watching the whole vid, Georges idea of extra reinforcement looks great.

You don’t have to worry to much Timmy the boys have got you. Just keeping putting the vids and we will be here to support you every step of the way ❤❤❤

sucks to see it cracking already, hopefully its just a flex issue with the design

60k in six years 10k a year that's below the minimum wage Timmy🙃 You got a PayPal or set up a buy me a coffee and rename it cash for gas Most subs would be happy to flick you a fiver to help with the channel running costs. Best boat build series on RU-vid keep charging buddy The fishing content an't to bad either😂🍻🍻👍👍

Good stuff bro. Its hard to chase ya dreams without taking that first step. Keep up the good work

It's exciting to have you back Timmy and see some fish out of Georges great craftsmanship work. I wonder if you went single skin just with ribs on the bimimi top to help reduce weight..... Look forward to your next video

Good luck with everything great video 🤙

I am amazed folks can make a living off youtube 90% of my videos get demonitised because I swear too much or I take the piss out of feminists and modern nonsense. I have this year bought a proper proper boat a Predator 160 with a nice 70 yamaha on the back end. Fishing here in Northern Ireland is a lot colder and the weather is a lot rougher that what you seem to get, I've got the Atlantic ocean on my doorstep for shark fishing so it's a massive step up going from freshwater to saltwater fishing. I enjoy your videos I've family living in Oz and Tazmania must get across to see them at some point.

Good old George will fix it 👍

As usual George is right, a screen would be good for the really rough days and through rain. Also it will make the roof solid as.

Great first video back on the water Timmy. Man George is a legend. Straight up. Solutions. Hope it all Works well.

Well done for taking the leap mate!

love your videos great work Timmy!

Keep at it mate it’ll all come together soon. Good to see the boat out in action and in typical George fashion he’ll make it better than ever!

Liked before watching, love you Timmy! ♥️

Keep plugging away mate, with the guards I would trim them back a inch or so 👍

Hey mate, maybe you could put some fold away support poles on the T-top. Just the poles and mounts used for a bimini. Set them down when travelling then fold away and secure to the t-top when fishing

Glad to hear the roof can be saved

I did wonder when you were building it if it would b strong enuf sideways Ive had 30 years of boat repairs mostly crab boats and what iv leaned is if you are wondering if its strong enuf then it wont be

Go the Turtle man!

Campin Cookin and Fishing overnighters on tiny islands! im lookin forward to yr content mate!

Timmy~Hey, wha a fantastic ~ all the best!

Yay? Glad your back , my friend, excited to see you again, have you still got your beautiful dog?

I thought I seen the boat in town(glady). You should let us know when you’re back in town, I’d like to have a closer look at the boat as I’m thinking of getting one built. Oh and do you have a patreon? So us viewers can help out. 👍🏼

thats richard price?

Love that you are able to be open with your financial situation. Very few youtubers talk openly about money.

Can I book in for a trip in 2024 please

$70k and some sweat entity is still an absolute BARGAIN for that boat mate👍

You make awesome content Timmy keep it up money will come.

Just a thought about the top. It is a lot of leverage for a single leg,. an extra brace on the back in the form of another post on each side and a rubber gasket on each mounting where it bolts onto the boat to cushion the vibration. George would know a lot more than me but I've built a few things and it looks like a great top but too much for a single on each side.

what's the reel ur running...? Certate sw 14000? Sick boat by the my bro🤙🤙🤙, safer than floating on pipes, wat a legend..

200 bucks in bank account... that my mate :))))

I recommend 2 poles near rear mounting the roof to the hull

Hey mate, fuck that Targa Top. If you want a top go with a T Top built around the center console so you can add some stays to the console itself and you'll be MONEY AMIGO!

proud of the progress youve made timmy, its only gonna keep going up from here.

Big boat and the turtle finds a raft height spot to fish.

Sucks bout the boat buddy, awesome watchin ya fishing again tho. 👍👍👍

He’s baaaaaaaaaack! Turtle time🐢

@timmyturtle you are a legend Ive got cracks and holes maintain ur sumps ez clap all day love ya mate

i hate this guy who jig right on you when you puling fish out...all the time

Should have watched the end and kept my mouth shut.

Awesome to see ya back filming timmy. Tough times atm but it will all work out. 🤙

Great to see you on the water Timmy, George is a legend.

Ive been more keen to see this thing in action then timmy probably was to get on it

What’s the jigging rod you were using ?

throw this man a like

Good on you mate , good things come to good people who put in the time and effort 👌

Roofs too heavy mate, it’s essentially like having another bloke in the boat. Go with a simple lighter design, it will make the tub more stable and reduce the risk of more dramas. FYI I’m a Marine mechanical fitter, marine engineer and commercial skipper. Congrats on the boat.

Absolutely love watching your boat building vids I've been with you since you skiff you rock Timmy !

Not sure if getting such a big boat was the way to go as it demands many things to support it and one of those as u put it is fuel. Your tow vehicle is also going to need to be in tip top condition. But the potential is huge and im sure u will make it all worthwhile once u pass your financial obstacles. As for the roof George seems to know what he is doing and i would keep it on lets see how it goes with the mod he mentioned at the end. Once u get into using the whole boat to its full potential u wont regret 1 second or 1 dollar of it all. Neither will we!!! Good luck mate and keep striving!!! Cheers🤙

Hey love your your channel and content Timmy. Without taking the roof why don’t you add another cool looking support .

Can I get a thumbs up from everyone that acknowledged the evolution of Timmy. From a dinky diy raft to a pro fishing gun?

I hate to say it but I said that roof was going to be too heavy and what I said was "heavy where you don't want it as well." A simple material bimini is the go

I've watched most of your work on the boat and to be honest I didn't really feel like subscribing the first couple videos until this one... being an honest man myself I admire someone who tells it like it is weather its good bad or indifferent, so with that said I have subscribed now and look forward to more content!! Keep your head up mate! Much love from the coast of Maine USA 🤙🤙

Timmy how do we throw you some cash ?

bro that shirt needs to be replaced

Mate, you need to save up for some weeties to go with that sweet boat. I can't afford fuel for my 4.3 m tinny with 30hp merc. Feel your pain.

Hey brother you have come a long way from when you 1st started from getting your 1st jack. If your back up airlie, you will have to let me know catch up I live in town

Add a single extra leaf from another spring, or run some 2 ton torsion axles, should take care of your trailer sandwiching

I met a bloke the other day, around 60 at a guess? Nothing to his name but a boat and a Ute. One of the happier dudes I’ve ever come across, I knew this build was not gonna be all ‘free’ and that you’d still have considerable money in it but there’s light mate. Keep your chin up!! I love that it’s the same attitude and reaction to fish as that humble piece of ply floating around the canals.

just wondering have you considered using guy wires with springs to move the stress from the roof to the gunnels? Also a mast above the roof gives you a top down camera point?

Gday Timmy Seen a similar canopy made in stainless and it was welded over and over , the old canvas pop up is a good solution Love the boat mate it’s epic

The taxman must get his share.

You're winding with your wrong hand bro. Your dominant hand should always be the hand you pull with.

Everything is fixable apparently applies to elections also. There’s always a way

How much would a boat like this cost in total? Materials, George's second to none labour, motor etc.

Hey Timmy I'm going thru something very similar mate atm. Trying to steam forward but the bank balance says other things really hard to do things with low funds. At least you got what sounds to be great sponsors hopefully one day we'll both get there just gotta keep believing and striving. Thanks for sharing your life mate really gave me another boost yo keep moving forward

Hang in there Tim , rather than boxing the side frames why not do a Cnc cut 12 mm thick frame then put 100x 10 h iron style around it , bolts top and bottom the welds won’t be on the edges then ,shouldn’t cost too much either Good luck

Brace it side ways Post to post with a few bars, good to hang onto when its rough and good for drying clothes on long camping trips

Pretty sure that your roof needs more support in the back to lighting of the pressure in the T section.due to the pressure from the wind and other pressure is a lot for a t assembly. Hope it's makes sense 👌 soooo Timmy always been a fan of yours really enjoyed all your vids and everything. Your gonna make it no doubt Timmy

Onya Timmy, rip in mate. If you won't invest in yourself why would anyone else

Good to see you're back mate. You need to smack up some dates of where you will be next year in order for some of us to throw some money at you when you fill up.

Sunday roast dinner and watching Timmy Turtle 🐢 doesn't get any Aussie than that

Interested in a marine trimmer in brisbane to help me design some clears for a centre console. Would love to see some storm clears and camping tarp set up on your boat so if you find a sponsor that does good work I'll be supporting them

Nice turtle

Ingham is a great spot. I jave family there that have lives there all there life

Yeah the Timmy back good to see ya back on the water the views will come when the big colourful fish get caught it will all come together for ya

hey love the video mate. Are those Chinaman Edible???? Ive always wondered that

Good luck mate come a long way from the skiff. Deserve every sub

hey timmy i’m from gladstone was that tai allen with the water hose?

You got this Timmy. Looking forward to the new vids with the fresh boat!

You need to go out with brooksy, he will look after you. Top bloke
