With lots of bad stuff happening in the world, it’s nice to see some good things happening. Tides of Change looks great. Electronics install looks phenomenal. Not many professional boat builders are so particular about wires.
Wonderful work. The wrap was a great choice. If you are talking about a railing on the bow I'd recommend you use the boat for a while before you commit to that. I haven't found it necessary. On the other hand I think you need more grab rails. Just my 2 cents - you'll figure it out very quickly once you use the boat and you guys are smarter than me!
I just want to let you two know that I really appreciate you documenting the build in Dauntless. I have been planning, researching, and designing a custom boat, myself. I had the idea of using foam in fiberglass, instead of wood or coosa, but have had trouble finding anyone doing it. You have given me hope that my dream of building this boat, myself, is possible ..... although, it is a completely different hull style. Thank you for all the information. I have been binge watching the entire series, since finding the build.
@BuildingMVDauntless It certainly is. I thought I was going to have to experiment to figure it all out. I was given a Mandatory Medical Retirement from the military, September of 2023, and wanted to find something to build, to fill my time ...... something that would be useful to my family during retirement. I hope to start on the boat, soon. I do plan to document the build, also; more raw than your videos, however. I have no skill in editing. Thank you for your reply and, again, thank you for the content. It will be useful, when I start my build.
@@BuildingMVDauntless The boat looks absolutely amazing. The colors; the fit and finish ...... You did a great job; then, to consider you built it by hand, with no experience. That makes it even more impressive, to me.
Brilliant update! You two are so proud and happy now compared to earlier vids. That flip-flop finish will confuse the hell out of the marine life. (flip-flop = good name? maybe not...) How do you feel about the design now that it's basically finished? It looks sick, that's for sure.
The motors were installed professionally. The video is deceiving the cav plates are almost perfectly aligned with the bottom of the hull. Thanks for looking out though. 😊
The cockpit floor is approximately 18” above waterline. We recreationally fish but I don’t think it will a be problem for us. Thanks for following along 😊
