I just got back from Malapascua doing some scuba diving and the dive boats have hand made shift linkage (just some welded steel rods) that the captain can shift from beside the captains chair. Thanks for watching!
The Philippines is composed of about 7,150 islands. If you love island-hopping and fishing, retire in the Philippines and buy a boat and live a life of your dream.
That is correct. I'm going on 25 years living in America, working my butt off to save for my dreams of having a nice small house near the ocean and owning a medium sized motorboat in the Philippines. Eat seafood everyday... ;) ;)
Philippines is such a wonderful country, nobody bothers you just mine your own business and people will love you no matter who you are or what nationality you're in. You fish all you want, no license needed, no IRA, no cops, just enjoy everytthing with your lovely wife... live life to the fullest...God bless
@@berg8427 just because you see Bow thruster on big ship doesn't mean you don't need it, look at those two guys pushing with bamboo , they are the bow thrusters?
figure out what size engine it is, then go find a compatible electric starter for it. You might have to modify a bracket to mount it on the block. Are you using salt water for cooling the block?
@@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030 it's a beautiful boat! Can't go wrong with diesel engines. :) How do you deal with salt water as cooling, is the block sleeved with aluminum or SS? If this isn't a marine engine I would probably convert it to a closed radiator system for cooling.
@@draxxes1 people here don't give any consideration to corrosion, they just run them until they die, which honestly is several years. I personally would convert to a closed cooling system as it also prevents sucking up sand and small debris into the waterpump.
@@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030 Thanks for your quick response. Are you going to use it for business? That's quite pricey if you only use it for R&R :D
I'm just guessing. If a Filipino style boat maybe 30 feet long. I plan to build a trimaran and it will be about 30 feet long and my wife and I should be able to manage it. Many you tube sailing channels have 40 to 50 foot boats and just 2 people manage to sail around the world on their catamaran.
@@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030 Many thanks! I am thinking of putting our establishment project on a ship. My wife is not very happy but I think she will be ok after having some fun on friends ships (she is used to little fisher ship around pagadian were some uncles are/were fishermen. The form factor is for me not so important, but the room so we can live on the boat, even maybe with some intensive hydroponic farming. And electric motor + solar panels. No battery, sail only during the day. Does it sound feasible?
@@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030 A Crew of 2 should be able to handle most multihull sailboats (Tri or Cat) from 25-50 ft depending how it's rigged. Modern designs with roller furling sails, winches and anchor windlass makes it easy. I built a Ian Farrier designed F-9A (31') trailerable fast trimaran in the 90's. My wife and I handled it pretty easy but it's a racer, not a cruiser and it doesn't have enough space or weight carrying capacity. I'm reluctant to sell it because my father and brother helped me build it and they both have passed but it's no longer the right boat for me. I'd like to get a 45' cruising cat and travel the world before I'm too old. FYI - Most cats do not sail to windward well but trimarans usually do. Cats have more space though and are usually the best cruising boats.
@@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030 thank you i really need it for my boat thank you and God Bleesed Im watching here in Palawan and i love your videos keep up the good work❤❤❤
mon mejares it has 2 Isuzu 4 cylinder diesels which allow it to cruise at about 20 kph. they are not over powered like US boats, they are very fuel conscious here.
When we went out on the test run it was only on one engine part of the time and it surprised me how well it moved along and that boat is really BIG but the hull is very narrow and I think that reduces the drag.
It is the village captains boat not mine. It has 2 - 4 cyl isuzu engines and the props have 2 blades and are about 16 inches, the rudder is just a flat piece of stainless steel sheet cut to size and welded to a stainless shaft (hand made rudder)
It took me 2 solid years to built my carbon fiber 31' sailing trimaran launched in 1993. But it is a very hi tech, complex boat that folds up for trailering. Banca boats are faster to built for sure, and much cheaper. Mine cost $85,000 in 1992 US dollars. If I moved back to the PI, I'd probably just get a small 20' banca w/ 16hp engine for fishing trips. Ideally I'd like to get a cruising catamaran but they are expensive.
My Paradise on Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines thank for the info. My husband is from Austin Texas. And his planning to retired in 10yrs from now. He loves to go fishing. That’s why I want to buy him a safe boat. I’m going home this March and look for a house around Bantayan or kawit area. My mom is from Kawit. Can you do a video also about housing and how much it cause to build or already build, that would be great also. Thank you for making this kind of video and keep it up! Thank you for the info and God Bless!
Dennis Bancairen I'm guessing about 40 feet. Personally I would build a much different boat, this boat has too deep a draft and keeps getting stuck bottoming out near the shore the ocean is very shallow around Bantayan island until you are about 1/4 mile out, also it requires a crew of maybe 6 people everytime it goes out (you have to pay them). Depending on what your needs are for a boat you probably would choose a more fitting design. This boat is not made for creature comforts it is a working boat. The price for this boat was about 1 million pesos. I hope this information helps.
