More videos from doug. This time it's starting to get more entertaining. He is starting to face some consequences for his shitty design. He is coping about how he doesn't need bow thrusters for his barge in a crowded marina. He also used the wind to turn his barge around so he could leave.



 
Dang @SwiftBucks I hope you aren’t talking shit about The Boat the Internet Built.

It’s a minor miracle it’s still afloat but that’s more likely due to luck than design. I hope it keeps going, it’s rare to have a nautical lolcow.

How in the fuck do you lose a key like that. Any competent engineer and or machinist would have designed and machined the keyway on the shaft to be only as long as needed. It would be physically impossible to lose the key then.

I’m absolutely shocked that the boat managed to make it to Puerto Rico.
 
I suspect the boat in this video did more sailing in this one video than SV Seether has done in its entire existence.
Despite being very old its diesel engine can move the boat (they are pulling a dingy instead of being pulled by one) and they can change directions.

The boat and the engine are very cool.
The captain is WAY to hipsterish for me.
I can't tell if he is gay or just Canadian.
I suspect he may turn in to a cow in the future.

His business plan is to use this ancient boat to go from Canada to Mexico for tequila and bring the tequila back to Canada.
The boat is cool but I don't see how it will make the tequila taste any better.
For only $100 you can join the "Founder's Circle" and get your name on a plaque on the boat not much else.

Proof that hipster millennials are just as retarded as boomers. That tequila is going to cost around $20k a bottle just to break even on shipping costs.

So I guess they just pull into a marina in Mexico and then the crew goes out and purchases as many crates of random tequila as possible, over the course of a couple of months. They then sail back to Seattle/Portland/whatever the fuck Pacific North West shithole makes these people, park it at another marina, and try to sell booze in the parking lot.

Also, somehow they won't get shutdown for not having any import licensing because any shithead with a boat can just import whatever the fuck they want.

I love how these assholes can't just say "hey, here is a go fund me for my boat. Pay for it."

No, they have to come up with a retarded business model so that it by default, weeds out all but the most insanely stupid backers, like a Nigerian email scam.

This is no different than Doug. It's just tweaked and more polished because the target audience is a different age group. They should have dubbed the boat the SS Reddit Mod.
 
I like to imagine Doug trying the startup sequence for that diesel motor. There’s a checklist which you can safely ignore because you’re not a pantywaist. There’s a huge flywheel that can tear off limbs with a wussy little cover you should immediately remove (like the guard on your angle grinder).

It’s perfect for him.

I am immediately annoyed by the title. Modern cargo vessels are almost exclusively powered by low speed diesels.

Not only that, it takes about two days to fully strip down a super panamax container ship.

There is a reason why everyone agrees to use 20, 40, and 45ft containers. The SS Manbun is going to take weeks to load and unload. You "can" get your shit unloaded at a terminal manually, but it's ungodly expensive. You would not only get charged for the stevedores used, but also a premium for taking berth space for so long. Also, just the bill to pull into a commercial terminal for the tugs and the required harbor pilot, I think I got to increase my estimate cost per bottle.

Cargo containers are used universally, even in sub sahara Africa because it's just cheaper and easier than manually loading and unloading stores.

The more I think about it, these hipsters might be even more deluded than Doug. What they will probably try to do is use a marina or something to load/offload which is basically just smuggling.

These guys are going to have to switch over to meth, heroin, and cocaine as a cargo. Which will probably be decided for them when they first pull into West Mexico.

It is worse than that, they have a brand name and there will be labels, branding. bespoke bottles and all that sort of stuff.
That right there will make it more expensive even before they cram it into the dark, hard to access recesses of the boat.

Somehow I doubt they make it that far but then again I thought the SV Seether would be a taco stand in Tulsa and never see the water.

I don't think I have ever seen a woodruff key used in an application where it points downwards. It doesn't make sense, of course it's going to fall out. It needed a collet or a retaining screw to begin with.

I have but they all had the keyway on the shaft cut just long enough for the key. It made it physically impossible for the key to be removed without first completely removing the shaft.
 
Archiving the latest crop of failure to learn from his own mistake.

First up is fuel line retardation.

Then mild weather showed up and the boat was so unstable he did no "science" that day. It has to be completely calm to make water spray over the deck.

Last is the steering system of pipes, joint, bubblegum and hope, is failing.



They also posted pictures of their victims crew of researchers. One picture they posted was of them sleeping, which was in poor taste and I didn't archive.

The visible listing in every video is hilarious. Also idk about you guys but spilling fuel everywhere on a boat would make me pretty nervous

Yeah the constant portside list is hilarious. If I remember right this is the 'fixed' version with as much ballast as he could fit, it was even worse before.

Once again I am amazed by how far he has travelled if it's true that he is in Martinique. Google tells me that this is the start of stormy season so I wonder if he is going to find somewhere to hide again.

Hurricane season starts in June, right as tornado season in Dixie alley is wrapping up.
 
When I was in the Navy, whenever we had to go through the Suez, we would have to go slow around Somalia. Why? Because idiot boomers with their barely sea worthy pleasure boats would get into trouble and we would have to bail them out.

Now granted, I worked in the engine room, but I had cranked with a guy who ran the state rooms on the carrier and the scuttlebutt was always these people were a nightmare to deal with as they expected a fucking nuclear powered aircraft carrier to be a goddamn cruise liner. I tried to find the online article, but couldn't, but when I was in, we had a husband and wife couple complain to the BBC that we had basically kidnapped them and refused to salvage their sailboat that went down in Somalia territorial waters. It was like two months before we hit a port and could drop them off.

They would literally expect the US Navy to fly their asses from the Middle East, back to the UK or the US on the dime of American taxpayers.

Doug reminds me of these people to a fucking T. That crazy, entitled boomer mindset.
