Once Abandoned Canal Boat - Now On The Move - Episode 4 

Well, Priscilla & Chris, I was surprised that a 6 hp outboard could push your boat😮. Your doggie is loving running on the rooftop. Your boat is unique & beautiful! I look forward to its restoration.

Chris and Priscilla, thanks for the all video effort documenting your experience (adventure?) in moving the boat. I'm glad the little outboard successfully did the job but, sorry the trip to P&S didn't work out. Turning a full size canal boat around in tight corners, I'm sure was challenging but, glad all went according to plan without any disasters. You two are making really good progress on the boat, keep up the good work!

So impressed with you guys “can do” attitude. My stress levels rose just watching. Brilliant. 👏👏👏

You guys are doing an awesome job with this.

What I love most about these videos is that you do not give up. You accept challenges with such grace. ( I am sure you want to wail behind a tree some days)/ You work together well. And you are not rushing anything. Your humility will take you far. Making me want to continue watching your progress. yay

Well done guys the little outboard moved a lot now the fun begins stay safe. 👍👍👍👍

Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

that stern rail is wonderful I hope you are going to keep it

Your captain keeps pacing the deck, wanting to bark off orders to the crew!

The sound is very much better. No more buzzing and very good when you are near the microphone. I suspect you will be getting separate microphones in the future as when you are not close the sound goes away. Excellent job turning the boat around. I am sad that no one would help you guys but good on both of you for getting it done yourselves! You both seem to not get very aggrevated when things go wrong and that is fantastic!

Hi 👋🏻 great seeing the old girl move 👏🏻 Well done 👍🏻

🤩Yay ! The HMS Offshore-gasm made it ! Brilliant ! Had our fingers crossed while biting our nails @ the same time ! Epic Thumbs Up ! & Thanks For Sharing ! 😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great to see the old girl move at last, keep up with the great video's 😊

Love the engineering, outboard fixed on the rudder. Good job! 👍

Hello from Kansas! Wow I'm impressed that the tiny outboard actually moved that beast! It looks like you've got a great hands-on captain there on board with you! Back and forth on the overhead making sure everything is ship shape! Stay safe!!!

I have walked past this boat many times and you moved it past my boat when you moved it a few months ago now. It put a smile on my face. Always thought this could be a lovely boat oneday as it has lovely lines. Sandblasting is a good idea but where?? If P&S are not available.

Your determination paid off. Well done both. 😊

I worked on catamaran in a lagoon in California. We had to sand the bottom and re paint the entire hull, and make repairs. We only had time to work while the tide was out. It took 6 weekends to finish the job. It sailed from California to The Caribbean where my friend was moving. I love boats and they take so much work. But it will be worth every hour you spend on it. Sending good vibes from Italy.

You came out of that experience remarkably unscathed. I was kind of surprised nobody offered to help, but hey, you got the job done. On to the next marina.

Wow what a massive project can't wait to follow your progress

Your dog is so cute supervising the move!

Glad you be having it sandblasted 👍👍👍👍👍

A great video. That turn was amazing!

Hi guys love the project, you will find nearly all outboards have a butterfly screw on the leg thagt allows you to lock the engine in any position. Good luck, Tim.

Sporty people. Less is often more. Godspeed with your project!

Great work, I'm enjoying your challenge

You two are a hoot. Bless you and keep on posting. ☠️

It’s sad to know no one helps others anymore but on the bright side you know you can handle it yourself. Well done

If I hadn't seen it I would never have believed it. Well done.

Will were in for your adventure looking forward to it . Happy canalling

WoW!!! It is moving! This is crazy! Congratulations!

Thank you for beautiful video from fiji island god bless ❤❤❤

Your thought Process is excellent.. Well done Guys

Bonsoir vous deux. J'ai découvert votre chaine youtube il y a peu de temps et j'ai trouvé votre projet de restauration vraiment très intéressant mais aujourd'hui lorsque j'ai vu la façon dont vous vouliez déplacer votre bateau je n'y croyais absolument pas mais vous avez réussi. Alors respect. Je vous souhaite le meilleur pour les mois a venir. Vous êtes courageux et déterminés. Il ne fait aucun doute que vous allez mener ce projet à son terme. Prenez soin de vous. Amitiés du sud de la France. Olivier.

Nice one guys!! Well done! Will be looking out for the next update..

Like all restoration projects it depends on your budget and long term aims. I admire the way you are approaching this very laid back project , surely that is the best way, little by little, no rush no stress.

Great work Priscilla, team work

Well done for getting the rust bucket moving with that tiny outboard motor. To be honest I was most impressed!

You did amazingly well to turn that huge boat with no reverse thrust! It must only get easier from here on out. I'm impressed with that outboard motor as well as your skills.

After these manoeuvres you both qualify as a harbour master, congratulation, good to see you‘ve barricaded the boat

S.S. rustbucket lives to see another day....looking firward to see the outcome....liking the double width

Hats off for accomplishment in getting this far. I am excited to see this boat turn into a home. Best wishes from Montana

This is turning into one bloody adventure.

Very cool! I love the design of the boat!

Well done with those movements, looking to your next vlog.😊

Love your doggo, on guard

Keep those railings , replace missing bits, de-rust and find a great colour 😊 they are lovely

Well Done on the move :)

We’ve done so much with so little for so long , we now can do practically anything with nothing ! Wish you to the best wishes that you keep the course , and I will go along for the ride .

The rainbow at the end òf the canal after you came out of your first lock was a nice touch

Hi guys well done, I didn't think that little engine would move that boat 🛥. Great content looking forward to more thanks.

Hi guys, I’ve been on a boat for many years and I did not think that little outboard would actually move the boat , LOL, I’m so happy that I didn’t keep up the good work. Love your videos. Can’t wait to see you start working on it full time or part time Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island 🧑🏾‍🦽🏝🏝️🦘🐨🇦🇺

Well pleased for you both :)

It's always fun until you get the quotes 😅. When you said bungee cords I almost choked on my coffee. I wish I was able to help, unfortunately I'm state side. Much respect and success. It's gonna look awesome. Cheers.

I'm hooked, I don't know how this channel came to me, but I was very interested in what this boat will look like in the end, it's a shame RU-vid didn't tell me a little later, so I wouldn't have to wait so long to see it finished, I'm a bit anxious, but I'm waiting and I'll continue following here, what a great idea you had, good luck, I hope it doesn't take too long to finish it.

I can only say that was very well done , especially with no help , must have been scary at times too. It’s going to be awesome, good idea to cover the windows looks better already and keeps the rain out , stay safe guys 👍

What a beautiful boat love watching nice job

HI, from Texas. You two are amazing.

What a wonderful, determined and crazy 🤪 couple. Best wishes for your new home. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷

Great work guys

This is going to be an adventure. Cant wait to see the monster boat become's.. following!

What a very cool piece of history, I'm glad to hear that you are putting it on the hard to have it sandblasted. Do the barge justice, and it will be a blessing many times over when it's finished. It won't be easy or cheap, but it will be worth it when its done . Awesome job

Methinks you're both going to be very fit at the end of the renovation 😉🤣

Another narrow boater who’s on RU-vid traveled by your boat and made a good comment about it. I just can’t wait to see what y’all do with it. I think the boat is fabulous!!!

Fantastic achievement on moving that huge boat with just brut force !! I'm thinking that boat of yours is DEFINITELY going to need some kind of bow thruster ... if there is such a thing for a canal boat !! Looking forward to the next one !!

I can see this looking amazing once completed > cant wait to see it >

14:35 i thought you were on fire. That little china-made motor is loving this

Hello..i stumbled across your video and was intrigued. Glad to see that you're going to revive that boat and give it another life. Im a retired engineer/teacher from Vegas, now living on the Oregon coast. I see lots of delapitated boats that don't get the love they deserve, so I look forward to watch your progress, i know its going to be a lot of work. I just finished building two houses here, and because of the weather it took a couple of years, so I am relieved that I'm finally done with them. Keep at it, you'll be done before you know it.

She mentioned smokey Joe. I am around railroad trains and cars a lot. There is a graffiti artist named smokey Joe i see his tags a lot Great video, thank you for taking us on your adventure. And I am a new subscriber. I cannot wait to see the rest of your videos. Hello, from Romulus Michigan, USA.

Aww,, ain't that the cutest thing!😅

Hi there. I found myself watching this. Quite a project! But so roomy. You did so well, warping the boat around using the mooring lines. Like they had to in the days before engines. Horses towed barges. You have 6 horsepower! Same as my 22ft, 1.5 ton sailing boat. My Tohatsu drives her up to 4.5 knots, but in waves, the propeller comes in and out of the water, very stressful. I have an extension that fits over the twist-grip throttle, so only need to hang over the stern to engage neutral or astern gear. It's amazing how you can move a big floating thing with so little power. It's because water has very little friction. Attempting this in a strong wind would be inadvisable without help from people ashore who know what to do. All the best. Nick

Impressive work! Keep it up! Inspires me to consider a canal boat project myself.

Less oil, it's a nice new outboard, not a museum-piece Seagull 🙂. It’s probably meant to be running about 50:1, and shouldn't be smoking any near that much. It will start and run better, and won't risk foulingthe sparkplug at a really inconvenient moment if you get that right. Can't believe all the numpty's just sat and watched you turning that beast, good job

Some great adventures your having, brilliant 🤩. But get a life jacket on the dog. 😊

You have a new subscriber. I can't wait to watch more episodes where you're turning this to a beautiful home. What a great project. Much love from Poland!

Keep posting on your progress...it is an awesome project.

Not sure of your background but your seamanship is commendable. Good show.

Good luck guys!

Well done. Amazing job. Wish I could have been there to see and offer help.

Loving this project guys and love it when you post new content. Keep up the good work, its giving me so much inspiration 🙌🏽💙

If you had a 10hp we could water ski behind that thing! Very impressive. Good luck and best wishes from Texas.

Hi both, i bet you got some looks from people with that little engine, but it did the job that's what matters. Maybe a life jacket for your little dog just in case. 😊

Brilliant well done both of you , boat people are supposed to be salt of the earth I guess that’s changed I mean the people who stood and watched instead of trying too see if you need help what a word we now live in . Anyways I think you’re both amazing and that little engine doing fantastic I can’t wait for the future as I can see two very capable people who have a dream and it will be done lol love it ❤

Very cool project 😀😃😀

Well done for moving the boat I was surprise that that motor could move that barge well done and I am glad you both have made a decision to have it blaster best way forward 😊😊😊😊😊😊

love the shape of the boat

I note the dog is in charge😄

Hi I like your video

Awesome video.

Well done you will get there and all your hard work will be worth it in the end,smoky but steady is the way to go 😂😂❤

That boat is an absolute beast 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

So nobody helped you turn the barge round , BUT , you did it ALL yourselves and proved the barge is more than manageable by just the two of you .....well done . Next big thing is get her on dry land and cleaned up ............onwards and upwards .

Chris could be a trapeez artist with his incredible balance. Today I learned Europeans pronounce "Bungee cords" 'Bun-GHee' - soft G - whereas North Americans pronounce it 'Bun-G' - hard G. I'm enjoying this adventure !

Good luck to the three of you (dog too) he's cute. Best Wishes and fair winds.

Fantastic Job done. The 2 of you with no help!!! If feel that some of the people in the Marina could have given you a hand. Well done.

The adventure continues

Keep them coming youngsters--I am from Lebanon PA where the Union Canal got its start but unlike England which kept its canal system the intelligent bureaucrats got rid of ours. OH, what a wonderful tourist attraction it would be.

Stay positive and keep going 🎉🎉🎉

Best part...roof dog....roof, roof...lol

❤ The long dog on a long boat.
