Stretching the Limits: Strengthening the Hull Extensions (Sugar Scoops) of our Catamaran Build Ep271 

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone, its well worth noting Ross had done so much research into this system and the right products ahead of the install that it made my job sooo much easier. You guys are smashing out work so quickly at the moment I wont be surprised if its in the water!

I love this part. Getting the bilge pumps coming on automatically 👍🏼…great stuff Ross. The simple things brings a smile. That said that cat is built like a tank, it will be dry.

All this time I thought it was a "Servo GX" from every other boating youtube channel. Thank you for showing the picture!

Enjoy your time in NZ Zac, stay here, we need people with your skills

Ross you hit the Jack Pot with Zack on board doing this wiring job. He's done a fabulous job on the Cat with its wiring, very clean install and nice and organized. Like I Said, it Looks fabulous .

Zak is a Legend!

Couple extra! Tell Randy Marsh, he needs them.

Well done Zac. Enjoy your next adventure in NZ. Play us some music.

Zack done a great job in that electrical area..

Good episode Ross Well done Zach

Your Daughter Married Well!! Zacks a Legend with his install. Never seen a tidier piece of Kit esp on a Catamaran

Zak, needless to say, Rossco would have been totally lost without you. Good fortune for you in New Zealand over 2023. Cheers! Rossco, it is just you and Janet now, like it always is when the children leave the nest. This is where a strong couple's bond is so important. Have a great week..... Jim Ttfn

Well done Zach

Super progress and very neatly done.😀👍⛵️

Bravo to Zac, he has done a masterful job of wiring the boat. The two of you have thought through the details of all the different systems aboard the boat, and I have to say it's been impressive to watch. I know you still have some things to finish up, but Zac has left you in great shape. Thanks for taking the time to share this massive undertaking. Safe travels to your daughter and Zac.

Nice work Zack

Great to see the electrical systems aren’t letting the side down after all the other amazing work you’ve done on the boat! Ellen’s picked a good’un!

Making great progress

hey ross, yt first ad was 2.17 min long but lucky i neeeded a pi55 and then I went to the shed and built a 42 foot cataraman from scratch and then came back and watched you -

Ross, I have been watching your build for quite some time now and I apologize for not reaching out sooner. First off, YOU DA MAN!! I can’t believe how long you have been hammering away on this project and you still have a smile on your face. What an inspiration. Keep on, Keeping on. Thank you for taking the extra time to post all of your hard work on RU-vid. I can imagine it is like having a part time job on top of the build. Whether you know it or not, you have been helping me get through my composite build. When I’m having a long-hard-day, the type of day you are questioning what the F@CK you have gotten yourself into, I pop over to your latest post and remind myself just how much bigger your project is than mine. You have normalized and validated just how long composite work can take and I thank you for that. I’m a pre-fessional in the composite world, as opposed to a professional like yourself, so it has been a steep learning curve and a long journey. I you are ever having a sh@t day and need to see someone else grinding it out and getting their AZZ kicked on their composite project (to feel a little better), just pop over to my build thread. I actually gave you a shout out a while back in my build thread. Page 6, post #87 (post # located in the upper right hand corner of each post) expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2022-ford-f550-diy-adventure-expedition-vehicle-build-thread.232762/page-6. Hopefully it has given you some extra traffic to your channel. I’m glad you are chasing your dreams, even if it requires climbing Mount Everest multiple times to get there. Keep up the good work and maybe I’ll see you on the coast of Central or South America if your adventures take you there in the next couples of years.

Fidley shit, classic. Moving forward in so many fronts now, looks great as ever.

Amazing! Two inches makes all the difference between adequate and ecstasy. Video display, of course... Super job creating that amazing wiring system.

Love the one wing reading glasses classic for a man on a mission.

Well done Zak - good on ya! :) I do sailboat electronics and that is one impressive (plus neat and tidy) setup.

I always wanted to build my own boat but after watching you it's a lot of work and a lot of patience I love the way that work is coming out so far and Zack is a blessing my best to you and yours God bless

Ross, I poked a little fun at you last episode for not having announced a target launch (least that I didn't see). These projects are hard to close out sometimes as there always seems to be more to do. As a woodworker, I see a massive amount of work to do to finish out the interior. Not one piece is huge on it's own, but every part will have to be shaped. Is this something you are going to do yourself? Also, is your strategy to hold off launch until all of the work is complete? I wish you great success.

Great job but I'm surprised you haven't used equal lengths of cable to each battery instead of patch leads. It does make a difference to the individual battery usage.

Going to miss seeing Zach in the video's. Next time will be when he comes home and goes sailing with ya. Can't wait!!!!

⛵⚡

Awesome

Zac has created an electrical work of art to match you fibreglass work of art🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺

Surprised there is no drop bear pen on the boat.

Oh ya just like that, you know what I like.

Everyone needs a Zack! Very tidy, gentlemen. I bet it easily rivals Mads OCD inspired electronics system...lol. Now Ross can get back to what he gets paid the big bucks for... plastic surgery 🤣

5 inches isn't enough.....thats what she said

How meny year has boat bilding add?! , im shore your get them back the day your sailing

7 inches? Skite! are you speaking about length or girth?

🎉Mm

She’s always said size doesn’t matter???????

Well done Zac.

That wiring job looks as impressive as many big bucks cats . Great work from Zak . Lucky find there Roscoe , I think the lad deserves a beer or 5 .

It’s really nice to see your relationship with your son in law. I have a great relationship with my FIL and I can appreciate your banter. My FIL and I have sailed from South Africa to Annapolis, Annapolis to Bermuda, Nice France to Annapolis and always had a wonderful time. Great sailing and friendship. Way to go Rosco!

You should also have some sort of high volume pump apart from those small bilge pumps. Preferably not a manual pump because if you have a hole in your boat that requires its use, you'll be too busy to be pumping water manually.

Good luck in New Zealand have fun! Another great video.

You have come a long way indeed. So inspiring.

Very nice work guys. All this nice boat work, makes me wont to build a boat my self, wich has been a dream for years. well mabye some day. Take care. All the best.

Great job Zac have yourselves a great life in New Zealand !

Good on you Zac 👏 👍 😊. Systems look amazing .😮

Good progress this week Rossco. Well done on the bilge pumps, I've gotten tired of trying to convince people that switches on the automatic side of them is a disaster waiting to happen.

Your buddy Zach is a gold mine… I do hope he treats your daughter right 😂. Great progress!🇨🇦

What a brilliant team effort. Zak, your blood is worth bottling, and Ros you have a great relationship. Fabulous progress

major job zack you are good thx

Thank You to Zack for helping move this portion of build along so far !

I'm wearing speedo for this one 🙂
