We're so excited for that project, Debbie! Definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel as far as the deck part goes. Can't wait to start something new.

Hey guys. Remember we are only human, so pat yourselves on the back and enjoy your great work. I know, everything seems to be perfect and you have measured and double checked, but still, something didn't go as planned. Greetings from Misery Bay Northern Denmark

Best team! You all are an inspiration!

You know y'all really do some beautiful work but you know also the toughest critic is yourself. YES YOU WILL drive yourself nuts until you make it perfect I've did that more than once.

Be safe and take care my friend bye bye.

Looking good guys 😊 keep up the great work 😊.

Considering y'all have to go to KZread for some info and to see how something are done I will have to say y'all are doing a better job than some of the other videos I have watched and I appreciate how y'all always explain everything that you are doing.and I can't wait to see her fishing and taking in the money to recover what you have put into it I know just from materials was so expensive that it will take y'all several years to recover but hey at least y'all have a bigger and better holding tanks and now y'all can stay out longer without the risk of losing any catch and I know y'all are more excited than all of us.thank you for the video I always appreciate every single video y'all put out

Absolutely, Scott! Thanks for being here with us. We are definitely excited to get her wrapped up. It does seem like everything has gotten quite expensive, consumables especially, grinder blades, gloves, sanding disks, and whatnot. We just do our best to shop smart. Island markup is always an issue we deal with here, so planning out projects, the bulwarks for example, has saved us quite a bit on material costs. But we're getting close now, it'll be nice to get some fish in her!

You guys are an amazing family; you must be getting so exciting about things coming together. Blessings for your upcoming seasons ahead.

I can only imagine the cost of that aluminum where your at! I'm not sure that I can fish right now but i do miss it and i just want to say thank you for vicariously making me feel like i'm still there. Aloha from HI!

Gentlemen I always love your videos, but, you both just casually dropping Lord of the Rings commentary makes me more than smile it doubles down on my appreciation of you top blokes! I can't wait to see everything completed and you all out for your first fishing trip in the refurbished EI.

Thanks a bunch, Keith! It's taken awhile but she's definitely gotten the EIS stamp of approval.

Love the fireworks!!! I should be sleeping, but I'd rather catch up on you guys. 600 likes, and wow I didn't see the weld job coming, on the corner. I love that plastic 2×4/2×6. It will be awesome, but get some roll down grit on it

Time for a fishing 🎣 expedition

I have to comment on the deck stringer design. The design and work is top notch and an additional stringer or two will ensure that there is little chance of sagging or flex under hard use. It’s a commercial boat, it will get hard use. Without the extra strength you might have to endure years being unsatisfied with the function of the rear deck. Extra hours of work today, to prevent years of looking at the deck and thinking about what should have been done. The risk is to high,,,,, GOOD CALL and another good video and I like the music. Wow the deck looks great .

Agreed! Underbuilding and having to redo things down the road is counterproductive and annoying.

Have lunch on it befor you break it down lol

Len, regarding the stern, what do you expect you guys aren't pro boat builders. 😅 I know how you feel when make something and it doesn't fit the way it's supposed to, especially when it's as obvious as that is. Carry on guys, you're doing a fantastic job and fishing season is shortly at hand.

Considering the large amount of work she's had done on her superstructure, the alignment of that rear end seems relatively small, however I think you've managed some sterling engineering over the past year, well done guys and good luck with the final push!

Thanks so much, Zerog! I think we've thought everything out pretty well, most the projects have turned out great. That bulwark mistake was a setback, but nothing we can't tackle.

I, like you I guess, want to see the EI in action. But also like you, I don't want to see you in 3 months time having to fix something you rushed just to get out and working. I continue to applaud your work ethics. As a family, you are dedicated to the task at hand. Well done

So true, Doug! Doing it right from the start is pretty much the mantra we've lived by for the duration of the project. She's definitely gonna be a good boat for us.

I made some regrettable mistakes this week and last week. I usually try to space it out bi weekly but lost track of timing. Boat looks outstanding!!!

Well it is just like anything else in material wise everything has to go bad so repairs can be made to keep the economy going lol I like everyone else wish it all would last a lifetime lol.but hey at least it's all new and will last hopefully the life time of the two generations that are working on the boat.and their grandkids can work on it and make changes if they decide to

Muy buen trabajo seguro que encontrarán una solución para eso 😂

When I use composite decking I usually space my floor joist no more than 16 inches apart, so your spacing although looks close should work real nice.

Lol! You know, sometimes I forget those are clamped on my head, taking them off is like removing your shoes at the end of the day.

Can you remind us why there is raised deck, and how you will drain below it.

@EISAlaska

2 ай бұрын

Sure, the raised deck serves a couple purposes. One, it facilitates moving gear on deck. Say crab pots for example, we'll be able to slide heavier gear across the deck without worrying about damaging the fiberglass sub-straite. Two, it helps with drainage. We're not exactly sure how wet this deck will be. She is a heavier boat which means potentially you get more wave water on deck. If you're standing out there working the water drains through the boards instead of wrapping around your feet, especially towards the bulwarks. Three, It flattens the deck. The raised coaming of the holds becomes flush with the deck so there is no tripping hazard there. Also, the deck has a crown; a slight arching curve, port to starboard, this helps to shed water out of the scuppers. With this comes somewhat uncomfortable footing. Standing on a slight incline all day is pretty uncomfortable, the false deck flattens the entire thing.

Are you guys still going after Tanner crab this season? I know you have been busy working on your new boat
