There aren't many time I question wanting to build a boat, but this week I have certainly beaten myself up, wondering why I would put myself, my family and more importantly, our entire RU-vid Viewership through this nightmare.
This RU-vid build series is all about what it takes to build a Catamaran from Scratch. There is so much detail in a build of this size and so many different techniques involved in bringing her to fruition. I trust you will find something that may help with your current or future project, repair or dream boat build. If you feel there is value, please let us know and comment so we can continue to produce content worth your valuable time.

Love the Midnight Oil T shirt!

@waynecarlson3170 Год назад

You are amazing with your attention to detail. Good job fixing the window, you will never regret that decision. Stops the leak the right way.

@mitch_the_-itch Год назад

Where Im from when me wife says "simple a clean" its usually a left handed compliment, lol. Like we was in Britain or France ;)

@radams009 Год назад

Midnight oil. Beds are burning. Great band

@KEIFabrication Год назад

I feel for you on the redo of the window opening. I just cut my car all apart in an area that was "finished'. Knew it wasn't right, Knew it looked wrong, it just took me a few days to come to terms with having to do it over. No one would have seen it. No one would have noticed, but I couldn't live with it. Now that your windows are to your liking, you can sleep well at night, and every time you look at it in the future you won't be beating yourself up. Great job on the entire build. I have watched every episode from the beginning. I have a great appreciation for your dedication to quality, your persistence, perseverance, skill, and talent.

@latitudeash Год назад

Once you paint that cabin area, its going to look amazing.

@1jeffcan Год назад

Great work Ross. Good that you fixed the imperfections you’ll always be glad you did. It’s looking great.

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Very true mate, wouldn't want to look at that every day and regret it.

@johnsummers172 Год назад

Damn, that sanding was a party

@pedropenduco3180 Год назад

That's a hell of a daunting job. I think I'd have turned to drink instead mate! Fair do's to you & the Mrs for sticking to it, the good thing is, she will be an outstandingly good boat when she's done. 🙂

@icelandviking1961 Год назад

That would be the widow that always leaked. Good that you are fixing it now and not later.

@pauldixon3677 Год назад

A dusty/dirty laborious job, without it being done makes the boat half finished. Fairing is essential to get that quality finish. Nice to see you not scrimping on fairing. Well done team Life on the hulls.

@martinneubert4068 Год назад

Nice work Buddy Paypal. All the best.

@seancasey2444 Год назад

You need to get a vacuum attachment for the sanders.

@shoresharp8349 Год назад

Hey Ross I use denatured alcohol with food coloring mixed in as apply it with a rag. The alcohol evaporates leaving the food coloring as a guide coat for faring.

@cw3339 Год назад

Looking great! More power to you, for doing what I hate the most. "SANDING!"

@stephenj9563 Год назад

Good episode Ross With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight could you have done a lot of that fairing before turning the deck mold over? Good job straightening out that window surround I'm sure couldn't have lived with it.

@latitudeash Год назад

5mm, come on Ross the window would have pulled that straight when you put them in. You are a perfectionist....lol.. But that said it looks 1000% better now that you did the work. Another thing to remember is you want to be able to wipe the cabin ceiling every few weeks to stop mould. Hence I would not put the Alligator texture on the over head. I simply think you will be ending up with not much difference and adding to the issue of simply wiping the overhead clean with a damp cloth. Just paint it and see if you like it. Then if not you can always put the texture on it.

@flutetubamorg Год назад

I'm going to paint my jeep with raptor, good stuff!

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

So good, my old Ute pickip truck is gonna get raptored too.

@RappinIggyG Год назад

The devil's in the details, eh? Great job, keep going 💪

@william6526 Год назад

Ross, you are one of the hardest working people I've ever seen. The boat is going to be beautiful and hopefully you and your hard working lady will be able to start enjoying all the hard work you've both put into this boat. God bless and remember to pace yourself we aren't spring chickens anymore. All our good wishes from Oregon U.S.A

@Nena84734 Год назад

So lucky you’ve managed to get your hands on a power flexible sander, overhead work is always brutal. Nice work there Ross, so cool to be seeing inside the boat! I was able to see the Tasmanian oak on the channel A BOAT BY THE RIVER, I couldn’t believe how tight the grain was, beautiful. Love the interior choices so far, Janet’s got some pretty good design sense and you too, it’s going to be so awesome.

@robinengland5799 Год назад

You have done an amazing job on your boat! It is going to be one of the best built cats on the water!! You sure area talented boatbuilder! Can't wait to see y'all enjoying under sail!

@fuzzylogic8333 Год назад

Great job as always Ross

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Cheers mate

@Thealder07 Год назад

Awesome attention to detail you have. Well done

@ralphgesler5110 Год назад

Looks like it won't be long now until a video will popup with the entire saloon area in white and you and Janet discussing where to add the wood trim and that the sanding is almost done.

@stephenburrows4250 Год назад

Rossco…, if you didn’t fix it you’d be looking at it everyday you’re on the boat and be either; ignoring, laughing, or crying… - I reckon it would have been the latter - you’re too much of a perfectionist (which is awesome)… 👌

@kevin-vt7dw Год назад

Great job. I was getting a little worried awhile back and you are one hard worker

@DVolvoguy777-x7o Год назад

Rocking it as always. Love the progress. In the water before too long. How’s Intrim? Ashe back to good health?

@Stupha_Kinpendous Год назад

I'm drunk. My current cocktail is being drunk to your and your wife's good health. I love you guys. So much so that I'm liable to drink my next cocktail for you cats as well. I always try to put my alcoholism to good, healthy use.

@terrystarr3012 Год назад

The boat is looking beautiful,being a perfectionist I know can be a very annoying thing.

@CaptainShack Год назад

ok. That headset protection is very cool. Whats it called?

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

3m versatile flow, incredible unit

@unkiebunkie Год назад

What type of sander is the flat one?

@mickey4947 Год назад

Your friend did you a favor. You will always kick yourself for not fixing it. And worse, it might have never sealed properly.

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

That is very true Mick.It was pretty essential and at this stage I have to pick my battles.

@Tim_griswold Год назад

Your doing an amazing job, and I love the shirt🇦🇺. Great band. Rush is still No1.🇨🇦 Been watching from the beginning. Tim the tool man

@philkakid5617 Год назад

It's too bad you couldn't have done all the fairing of the ceiling and other overhead surfaces while the part was in the mold or prior to flipping over to install on the hull. Also, are you going to use any type fabric/vinyl headliner in the salon and other living areas? You could cover a multitude of imperfections. One more thing: too bad you can't hire a couple of young people to do the overhead work. I can't imagine how sore you are at the end of the day after constantly looking up and extending your arms.

@Helicamman Год назад

I use a lot of the raptor box liner spray, if I could give you one tip, a rough surface for it to stick to, I think the outside roof was sanded too smooth, I know how anal you are about sanding, ROUGH!!! 120 the raptor will cover, and do a test panel and do a smooth sand and a rough sand and spray them and test them for delamination after it is set. Just trying to help, would hate to see you have issues after you are done, and if Im not seeing how rough you have it disregard my post.

@alstonofalltrades3142 Год назад

Doing anything even badly is really fookin hard. Did Darren just offer criticism or did you just only hear criticism? one window sill off in a boat that is built way better than most is saying something to me. All that being said your back comes first. even if for us viewers the progress and episodes slow to a half, a quarter or none at all. or you get staff in. Or an apprentice working cheap to learn all your high end skills and experience of fibre glass manufacturing. Health and safety first. whole point of building a boat is for your enjoyment more than anyone's.

@normanboyes4983 Год назад

Roscoe - that sanding - you are the beast. You have good friends - pointing out the ‘inconsistencies in the window openings at this stage, it would have got right on your tits otherwise.

@4englishlies875 Год назад

I guess gym day is out of the question then huh. It us almost like you were punishing yourself for skipping the gym.....

@CawffeeTyme Год назад

Maybe its time to send the thing to the chopshop, and admit youre too old for this. Should have bought a production boat!

@cjhooker4955 Год назад

talk about sore shoulders and neck!!! holy crap!

@jerryglenn7323 Год назад

I respect your attention to detail. Cheers mate🍺🍺🍺🍺👍

@MGU001 Год назад

Getting closer to splash day . I'll be so happy for you that day but I'll also be sad cause we won't get to see an amazing man that we've all come to love with his infectious passionate attitude to all that he dose. Picture this .... the whit Sundays, hook down on the cat you built beer in hand love of your life beside you watching the sun go down . Ye certainly deserve it. No blues in a long time now ! What's with that 😁

@gavinferguson Год назад

omg i knew this was gogin to be brutal well done.. this is where you pay some one else to do the bulk and all you do is the final layer

@whitneylake2107 Год назад

Your persistence is amazing !

@rolandtb3 Год назад

Doing the inevitable, fairing, sanding, aligning and straightening. Time, patience, repetition. Hard work every step of the way.

@gregbaskin7795 Год назад

Just watching the this video made my neck and shoulders hurt. Working over your head like that is absolutely exhausting. Your boat is looking amazing. Much respect

@tonyguldbrand6049 Год назад

Great job as usually :-) Why don't you hook up the vacuum cleaner to the sander? The 150mm Rotex you got (l have 3 old ones and 1 new model, the new one is crap) is the BEST dual action sander and leaves next to no dust with the vacuum cleaner. Also look in to 3M dry guide coat to highlight the low spots. Another tip is to get your self a support board and stand it upright with a piece of foam on top to rest your hand on while sanding. Awesome job mate 👍

@daversj Год назад

A Mirka Deros or a Festool ETS sander would make that nasty ceiling job much better. I sand drywall with my Mirka over my head without a mask, its almost dustless.

@fonhollohan2908 Год назад

lets face it, if you didn't fix those problems, all you would've done is kick yourself for years to come. So you did the right thing! fix it, get it over with and then you know you have peace of mind. Then you can go forward. Also Ross if you don't get it perfect once you put the window and trim on it will straighten things out for ya.

@gunnarfernqvist4896 Год назад

Great work as always! One question though, you say you glue the shelf with epoxy and then are going to gelcoat on top. My limited experience say that epoxy will stick to gelcoat but gelcoat can't stick to epoxy?

@MUDNROCKS Год назад

Oh bugger, falling into the rabbit hole of making everything match.

@kglesq1 Год назад

Ross, you've built every inch of that boat to such a high standard that even a minor flaw is going to stick out like a sore thumb. I suppose that's the price of perfection, but it's worth paying as the final product is going to be breathtaking.

@TimHadleyMagic Год назад

She’s starting to look like a proper boat now Rosco. Top job.

@lets_go_see_ Год назад

leave it to friends to pick up on those minute details. Well, it keeps you on the ball LOL

@RichardHeadGaming Год назад

Who knows what you were thinking, probably using the wrong head like the rest of us lol. But it's working, boat is looking good.

@user-bq7kh5eu7v Год назад

What were you thinking = You were not Thinking at all Ross lol , but chit happens lol hahaha. great work by the both of you .

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Thanks mate, was a lapse of concentration for 6 years.Cheers Rossco

@mitchshort2008 Год назад

Awesome job rosco

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Thanks mate, was a brutal effort.

@mitchshort2008 Год назад

With great effort. Comes great reward.

@nickcooper14 Год назад

Getting there mate, you just need to do a walk around and if a flaw is right in your line of site, like walking down below on a window sill. It will drive you bloody crazy😡😡🤣🤣🤣

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

It is about 1mm out now and it is still eating me up Nick.Cheers mate.Rossco
