Join us for the long awaited move of SV Seeker! Doug was one of the two guys that inspired me to start this channel and I've been happy to be a part of his journey. As the first chapter of that trek wraps up, we all played our part in getting the boat to the water.
Tickets for the August 21st VIP Launch Party: www.seachestfou...
Support the Seachest Foundation and get your own piece of the boat at www.42fab.com/... 100% of proceeds go to support the mission of the Seachest Foundation to fund researchers on the water.
Many thanks to www.taylorcran... and the various City of Tulsa and Port of Catoosa entities that contributed to this move!

Thanks man. Can’t wait for this thing to hit the water. I’m giving Facebook a rest for a while when it is in. I’m kind of sick of Covid shit on Australian Facebook at the moment. Thanks for spending the time to throw this together. Really appreciate it and your precious time.

That big-ass boat will shrink as soon as it hits the water. Just watch. *best wishes* for you all!

@LimestoneCoastCustoms 3 года назад

I have to agree! I'm not an ocean guy either but I've been following the build for 10 years. I'm definitely a hands on kind of guy, even to the point of trying to get kids to take on a trade through either my business (which I no longer have) or through the auto shop classes I use to run one day a week at the local high school. I sooooo believe in giving things a go, often learning things the hard way, but learning none the less. Thanks for going to the effort you did to help & document it all. Cheers from Australia!!

@matthewjackson9092 3 года назад

Most of the trip with the 3-axle: only 2 axles touching the road. At 10:40 -- truck unhitched: all 3 axles down.

@sc1338 3 года назад

Strange isn’t it

@The_JEB 3 года назад

they likely only needed the 3rd lift axle for specific areas, the wheel base would have spread weight out better than a single tandem axle truck so they likely didnt need it down the whole time

Hey Rich, awesome video bud! Was great to see it as was busting to see how it all went. Knew from some facebook snippets it looked to have gone well but amazing to see it. Was a pleasure for me to come to Oklahoma, work on Seeker, learn a few things and meet some fine folk like yourself and Doug. Have a good one bud and would be awesome to maybe meet back up on Seeker some time!

@jcs6347 3 года назад

Hi Rich, I came over from SV seeker when Doug gave you a plug; haven't seen you before, but I will in the future - I subscribed just now. The best point of the video was the safety briefing and the tractor change. Obviously planed and rehearsed hands on - it went like a military OP. But what makes it a true military OP is that everyone was briefed and knew the mission and what was supposed to happen when the stuff hit the fan. As we say, its great plan until you cross the line of departure, what happens after it proves it. You'all proved it, Thanks

@42Fab 3 года назад

We actually didn't rehearse it, just talked it over a few times and only had folks who we all mutually trusted involved, that trust was earned and rewarded. Welcome aboard here, but it's always Richard, I don't have the money for Rich yet.

@BitHead1000 3 года назад

@42Fab 3 года назад

Yeah, that whole series had terrible seat brackets, but I don't care enough to tear it apart and rebuild it. The door panel is gone because it's a work truck, passenger seat is also missing entirely so I can haul 12' material inside it. Passengers get the chauffeur treatment in the only other seat: behind the driver.

@bulletproofpepper2 3 года назад

I have friend with the same Jeep and the same seat. I Think we are on fourth time welding it, I thought it was me. I bought a better welding machine and still have limited success. I did the frame diamond reinforcement trick it held the longest but it broke again somewhere else, not much to weld to now. I don’t feel so bad now, I may redo the whole thing in better steel! Great video! Thank for sharing!
