My cheap mod to the canopy would be a couple of tennis balls with holes drilled to fit the FWD poles

Great job with the canopy but put elbows on the plastic pipe to help stop the pipe going through the sheet. Good luck with the fishing and hope you win the boat 😉

or tennis balls

If you glue some caps on the ends of the pvc pipes it'll help keep them from tearing holes in your tarp. And maybe paint those poles to match your boat. She still looks super awesome! 👌 Edit: I just now read the dozens of other comments about capping the pipes! 🤷‍♂️

or just cut a hole in a couple of tennis balls and poke them on for perfect penny techiness.

@@TheWibbo also a good idea 👍

Put another piece of white pipe between the 2 white pipes connected with elbows. That way you are pulling the tarp over a bar, and therefore much less likely to rip or tear.

If I were you I'd get a wooden bung made for the through holes for just in case kept alongside a mallet to see it home. Boat looks amazing ..

Off topic but we spent part of our honeymoon in the UK, side trip to Albert Dock, Beatles Tour and all. Lovely memory!

Please don’t make fun of sunshade on boats! I grew up in Florida, USA. I worked outside at landscaping w/o shade for 10 yr. I now spend a significant amount of time with my dermatologist, skin surgery and fluorouacil. Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken

We aren't making fun, we understand the importance of sun protection and that is why we have made it!

If you put two right angle fittings and a connecting tube between the two front supports, it will prevent punching a hole in the bimini a bit better. Would not have to be glued to the uprights, just the ends of the cross piece.

Brilliant Sunshade idea. Suggestion, put on every white tube an elbow directing back it will safe the tarp. Cheers Marc

add a cross piece to the PVC piping and get a plastic clip to hold it on tight in the middle....great idea Gemma...🙂

Two 90 degree ells and a short PVC pipe can link the forward poles together, preventing wear on the tarp and reducing flapping in the wind. They dont need glue except where the ells join the cross piece, the tarp should hold it down fine.

Simon, suggestion - why don’t you solvent weld a 90 elbow to the upper top of two white tubes and add a loose pipe connection piece between the two, so it can still be split to still fold away and support the front of the canopy better.

Good canopy, but maybe take the pressure off the cover and get two elbows with a piece of pipe across the middle section making a C frame. Not glued as the pressure of the cover will keep it together when pulled tight down, so it packs away with the rest of it.

Just goes to show you don’t have to buy stuff for a particular job. Something simple as a Bimini should be kept simple. Well done.

Given what you have done with this small outboard (and what you routinely do with your camper conversions) I just CANNOT WAIT to to how you trick out Sarinda after you slog through a few years of rebuilding her bones. I can see where you are going and it is a clever strategy to build credibility and sponsor relationships with (relatively) small projects like this fishing boat. Sarinda will be MAGNIFICENT when you finally finish her, and you will have established yourselves as a KZread channel to be reckoned with. Look out, Riley and Eleyna on La Vagabonde. The Liverpudlians are coming for you!

You might want to put a cap on the end of the PVC pipes to prevent the sharp edges from tearing through the cover.

Great job on the cover. Should put some 90°elbows on those PVC pipes to prevent it from going through the tarp.

Just a thought. To put three way valve in the suction line. To make it a backup bilge pump. So if your boat is hot with a large wave. You could pump out fast the water. We are enjoying your new fishing/ tender.

I would just suggest on them PVC pipe you have a front put a tennis ball on the end of them. That way it won’t go through your tarp or put something round up there, so it doesn’t wear on your tarp up there because it’ll go through in a heartbeat, just a suggestion, you may use it you may not have a great day.

Yes to caps or elbows on the ends of the PVC , or elbows with a cross piece to hold up the fabric.

Looking very comfortable and sea worthy……..happy sailing and good luck on the fishing contest………..🎣⚓️🎏🎣⚓️🎏🎣⚓️🎏🎣⚓️🎏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍

Lots of comments on the PVC... Tennis balls with an X cut in them work great.

That’s a fast boat! And she’s looking quite sporty.

Sitting just north of Seattle and able to say 'Yeah been to Albert Dock on a blustery rainy September day in 2022.

The simplest ideas are aways the best,..

I think that Shield that covers great idea 2 90 degrees elbows and one cross piece of PVC pipe the elbows to help on the corners with a PVC pipes bends over to give them a little protection on holding up okay this is Bob from Vero Beach Florida have a great week stay safe and keep up the good videos

Two old tennis balls with holes on top of the PVC pipes as caps and Bob's your uncle. 🤩

Excellent bimini ! Put a short third plastic rod in the center of the windscreen to keep more rain off the dashboard. Just a suggestion. I love what you do !

That's a great idea!

You need 2x 90 degree white pipe ends and a peace of piper across the width to stop the canvas ripping on the upright keep up the fantastic work

Like Michael Barnett said below, I would use standard PVC caps instead of elbows. You also might put doublers where the pipes contact the fabric. That may help too. Thanks for the video. Good luck on fishing. Jon

You might have found out already, but the white support for the Bimini might need some more fixation and strengthening. If you make a doubling of material and maybe a little cup, then that pipe will not tear through the sheet and stay put on its designated place even with wind.

Look at getting a set of flushing muffs. They're just rubber cups on a metal clamp. They fit over the water intake for your motor and attach to a garden hose. Then you don't need to fill the tub OR open the access port. Clip them to the hose and slide them in palce, turn on the tap and run your motor. Making things for your boat can be not only fun, but much cheaper. If you could buy that same setup that was in a marine chandler it would cost you 100 pounds JUST because it's for a boat. Often you can find gear to use on a boat in garden stores and the like and repurpose it for much less.

Good heavens it reminds me of St.Katherines near to the Tower of London too! Wonderful to see 🙂😉Good luck with the comp too! 🤞

This lil boat is Pimped to the max! just needs a sub woofer. lol.

Love watching ur fishing boat ya'll have done amazing on both .

Super job!!!! 👍🏻💯

Thank you! Cheers!

Need a couple of caps on the ends of the pvc to protect the cover.

Put elbows on the pipe so it won't tear😊with pipe between 😊it's looking awesome

Without doubt your little ship will be the best looking and best equipped in the competition..... only one minor criitism - never leave your key in the chuck.. :)

I would put a pipe cap or elbow on the top end of those PVC pipes so you are less likely to poke holes through the plastic sheet.

You'll need to put a tennis ball over the top of the PVC pipes where they come in contact with the tarp.

That’s a cool little boat those Suzuki motors rip

Don't forget the bucket - for when you get 'caught short'!

outer space photography, best of luck. Hope you catch the big one!

You can get a set of ears that clip on for flushing engine

Brilliant, quick fix😊

Love the build! But I think you should be sealing the hole in the hull and the plywood backing plate with epoxy before installation. The sealant is going to fail eventually.

It was nice to see the Albert Docks. When I was young, I would get in my car and drive from the family home near Llangollen to the Albert Dock and walk around. To someone who grew up on a farm in the countryside, driving to Liverpool was such an adventure. At that time, the Albert Dock development was still relatively new (about 5 years old) and was a trendy place to go. I thought I was really cool driving into a 'big city' and the Mersey tunnel was an adventure in itself. Little did I know at the time that I would go on a bigger adventure and end up in Japan, where I still am. The Mersey tunnel has now been replaced (for me) with the Aqualine bridge and tunnel over and under Tokyo Bay, linking Kawasaki(川崎) with Kisarazu(木更津). A man made island in the middle which doubles as the motorway services is the point where the bridge becomes the tunnel. Then there is the very nearby Yamate Tunnel under Tokyo which at 17km is the second longest road tunnel in the world. It weaves in between the subway system of Tokyo and you can hear the trains from your car in the tunnel. In one location there is only 10cm difference between the road tunnel and the train tunnel. A remarkable feat of engineering. Still, The Albert Dock will also hold a special place for me and no amount of engineering will every replace that time I spent going to Liverpool.

A hoodie for the boat, what next, some detailing, running lights, stereo. That is going to be some tricked out boat.

Maybe put a bit of foam or rubber on the end of the PVC pipe, to prevent a hole from forming. 🍻

I used to have lil 20’ cudy cabin with a 115 hp merc on the back. When we were done in the bay or Atlantic Ocean we had what looked like ear muffs. But I hooked garden hose up to it. Started the engine and water sucked in where hose was.

05:37 - Boys have to play it in the right way. Don't tell me, haha. So as i said already two times....it's a little James Bond boat.

That's a great Bimini. When the sun's beating down any kind of a shade is a blessing. But as others have said, put either some end caps on the pvc or maybe even 90's with a peice of pipe across.

Put a freshwater tank at the front to help with ballast.

aahhh grab rails, I can now watch you enjoying your days out without the stress of worrying, lol, the sun shade is cool, literally, I wish I fitted them to my boats over the years instead of returning to port looking like a dehydrated cooked lobster,

You two are just amazing 👏

That motor sounds really nice.

Good luck on fishing guys.

GOOD IDEA FOR SUN SHADE

Put a couple elbow s on your pvc pipe and a pvc pipe across , the pipes are going to poke threw the tarp

Hi guys, wow that Suzuki engine sounds wonderful so quiet. I always like Suzuki motorbikes so they must be coming along way when the outboard motors keep up the good work. Love your videos. Really appreciate you guys Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️

Why didn't you use sandpaper to get a perfect shine? May I suggest smoothing the plexiglass / plastic where the hand hold is? Bouncing around may cut your hands. You can buy small rubber tubing and slice it and slip it over the edges!

Nice and simple always good cover looks good to. Great see ya doing something other than Sarinda a break away from the Rot good for the Soul. Looking forward to the next vid. ;0)

Hope you made a loop above the water line

Short or long trip, please put in your fenders.

So Jem has mood lighting while using her bucket LOL

@8:25 blimey mate, you should warn us to put ear plugs in. :-( that hurt and i'm part deaf. more deaf now. you need to put stoppers or something on the top of your front shade posts to prevent tare. lovely idea. an outrigger! cool :-)

Hi guys, the little boat is looking awesome. I just noticed your ladder is dragging in the water when you're under way. I don't have a suggestion as to how you would remedy this. Maybe just lift and tie it up when under way.

Looking forward to seeing the stabiliser solution. Great project you two.

You should put a couple of tennis balls on those front supports so they don't tear the sheet.

Ok Bimini was mentioned and yep when folded down it can get in the way, ya tarp is best way to go 👍✌️

Very nice James Bond.boat.

FYI here in the states a youtuber lawyer said the Buying land in Scotland thing is a scam and I thought I would warn you so you could get out from under it if you haven't already. Love your videos. Steve Lehto is the lawyer name. His channel is Lehto's law

In the days of the 3l Capri, those handles on the dash in front of the passenger seat were know as sh*tbag handles 😀😀

awww if known up in Liverpool would come meet yous xxx

What a beautiful dock .. I bet those apartments go for a few quid !!

I would use the hose port, because salt water trapped in the engine will corrode almost as fast as sea water.

I think you should put something on the two front plastic polls to stop them tearing a hole in the sheeting, something with a round edge.

What is expected top speed and comfortable run speed? Were the reps happy with the rpm to speed ratio with the existing prop? Does the ladder add a bit of drag prior to plane? She does chime/wobble at high speeds then settles. Boat/engine trim tabs possible? Bimini is an inexpensive fix when idling, trolling or parked. May want to put plastic stops on the exposed pvc ends to reduce friction. I could eventually see Simon adding some additional connectors and removable poles to facilitate bimini top support from the control panel aft to the 2 adjustable painters poles. Gemma has to paint those 2 yellow adjustable poles to match one of the boat colors. You have a working template. Compare costs/features for similar size sun shade (thicker, heavier, ++ $$$, water resistant, UV protection, fading). Grey/black does retain heat. So after a few trials, you may choose or repurpose something lighter.

Would put half a tennis ball on the end of the pvc pipes, stop it tearing the cover.

i had a boat similar that used to wheelstand as well, most of the weight was at the back. I put a hydrofoil on the outboard and it jumped onto the plane so much quicker and trimmed out nice and flat at speed as well, worth looking into

I'd be doin something with the pvc pipe ends, stop um ripping the tarp.👍

The screen stops large pieces of seaweed from getting into the pump, which can burn up the impeller. The screen also stops plastic from getting sucked into pumps, wash down, engine cooling pump etc…

Good work guys but you need a 90 degrees pipe so it does not rip the tarpaulin

Top Job 🤘

If you add a third pipe in the middle front and a 90 degree L bow on each side a T in the middle and connect them with pipes it won't poke holes in the fabric after 5 minutes of use and be far more stable in the wind, if the middle pipe is a little taller it would help direct any rain of to the sides, hope it works out well for you regardless. Good luck fishing, have fun but be safe.

Love your shirt but if your the Captain Gemma must be the the Queen 😊

cut a tennis ball and put it on the plastic pipe to keep from tearing the cover fabric ??? just an idea !!!

I'd suggest you attach an elbow to each PVC pipe and a cross bar of PVC Pipe 😊

You guys just keep doing great jobs.

You say the boat is rear heavy put Gemma at the front as a figure head Love you Gemma crack on

Hi "G &"S, Yous have gotten a Gyro Stabliizer what a great idea and love your shade "Glimma stops your man from getting to much sunshine on top lol. ps love Ship happens ( :

You should put caps on the pvc pipe to keep from ripping the tarp and add a 3 one in the middle

Trim tabs!

she is looking great guys. Simon, have you considered fitting a pod on the back to improve floatation and stability. A full width one would be ideal. I've run them on every one of my boats up to 27ft and even now run one on my 14ft tinny.

A Bimini top, easily mounted and foldable, I've had them on boats that size, if blaring sun isn't expected just pull 2 pins n remove.

As everyone is pointing out the pointy pipes 😉 I will take a guess of your fix to the stability issue, I say this cause you two are mad enough to mount a gyro stabilizer like the Seakeeper or probably a quick gyro on your little boat.😅 Anyway as always, looking forward to your solution. 😊

Put Robbo upfront for ballast, in a cupboard😂😂😂

Tennis balls on the PVC pipes to protect the sheeting!
