Building A New Canal Narrowboat From Scratch - Ep. 19

super exciting to watch her come to life! A love a reverse layout, cruiser stern combo! You'll have many many happy miles on her!! Can't wait to see more!

Thanks guys for buying a new boat, we get to watch the build and you get exactly what you want! It’s a win-win.

It’s so interesting watching Silver Fox being built! I’m excited to see the fitting out stage too. Thank you for sharing x

Outstanding awesome progress.

Silver Fox coming along nicely, looking forward to fit-out :-)

Think this is going to be a perfect home! Thanks for the lovely update, can’t wait to see more!

Great update guys, believe your boat is arriving this Friday at Bickerstaffe. Watch out for Kev on his super sized fork lift truck, I'm nervous for you both . Kind regards Mark and Zac

Looking forward to following your journey ..Good look guys.

Did you sell your house? And if so, where are you then living?

I do envy you.
I have often considered doing what you two are doing, but have always checked out.
in the past, we have had so many great times on different canals, since my wife died I should be free to make the giant leap, but am rather way about doing so.
I will be watching your progress with a great deal of interest

Hi guys we have just subscribed to your channel " we chatted yesterday at Stanley ferry " Nigel and Kerry on the new black widebeam " all the best

Are you going to covering the associated costs for the boat?

Ithink that you both have made wise decisions in your boat design, love the idea of a reverse layout, galley at the rear, just pop down and grab a cold one, hey, the double side hatches, well done boys, and the large 18 " port holes, yhere is something fitting about design what you want, rather than making compromises on a used one

Great series thanks

hi guys.... quick question.... if the gas lockers are at the back then why dosent the cabin extend further foward? the foredeck is almost lost space isnt it?

Ah, should have watched this episode before asking my question on bow thrusters. 👍

Awesome narrowboat build,looking so interesting ,seeing it taking shape,

New to you, new subscribers and catching up with your built! Lovely to see yiu filming at Sprotborough - the Boat Inn is an old favourite of ours, and the new bridge makes it easier for me to get tgere on my mobility scooter!

Haha the upside down middle finger pointing to the comments.

Silver Fox taking shape. Very exciting!

New subscriber, and loving the journey that you are taking us on. The part that really resonates with me is the "living debt free", and enjoying life in the moment.

Really enjoying your videos I suffer from anxiety and there's something very calming about you two, and I used to live near Spotbrough so lovely to see it again.

Love the bloopers.

Our widebeam is going to be built at Aintree Boats - great bunch of guys : )

I love your vlogs am watching them as you get your new boat.

Good Morning, I am new to your site and I am working my way through your videos which I am enjoying
, I have always wanted a narrow or widebeam boat, if I ever manage to get a narrow boat I would model it on yours, there isn't anything I don't like about it and your TV and broadband set up is great.
Well let's watch another video so I can get up to date.
Kind Regards & Stay safe.
Mick Keady.

So exciting!

Thank you

👍

Really enjoying watching your journeys and skipped back to where you got the boat, obviously you may have covered this somewhere or may have been asked this question before. What sort of investment was your Silver Fox? - it looks amazing and I’ve always wanted to own a boat to chug up and down the country with my wife and kids! Understand if you’d rather keep that info to yourself but ball park would be interesting to know.

Curious: Is it possible for Long Boats to have central air installed?

Fun watching fit up and weld! So exciting!

Coming along nicely guys... looking good 😊

It's nice the builder permitted you onto the floor to film your craft under construction. Knowing what Silver Fox looks like now, it's great to see it bare bones.

Just a quick question?! How would a person with motion sickness do on a narrow boat??

Aintree boats is 5 mins from our house. Great to see the boat from the start. Very envious of you both

decided to go back to beginning and watch what I can in order ( been amazing so far)
Curious though......who asked? and what was it that was asked? (on the control panel casing 🤔)

Hello, Gentleman.

I have just found your channel and I am binging today!! Did I miss it though? When your house sold, where did you end up staying until your boat was ready?

Love you more when you "get it wrong". xxxooo

I've been watching since prog 1 and really enjoying watching the development of this new boat. I know it is 3 years ago now since you did it all but it is still very entertaining to watch. I love your enthusiasm for your new life ahead.

Nice welding. Looking good. I know you already have the boat but its fun learning about you guys and your boat. Thanks for sharing.

I thought I had watched all your vlogs, but I was wrong I started watching on launch day. I am now watching all the vlogs from beginning. Its helping me get through a stressful time.

nice one enjoy it xx

That was very confusing, it came in as a new recommendation so I jumped to the conclusion it was about the latest new build. As you can imagine I was having trouble aligning all the latest news about the build with the stage the construction was at, how similar it looked to the older boat and being told it was 57 foot. But still a very enjoyable vlog seeing your happy faces and enjoying the banter. I am ok now, brain has caught up with reality lol. Good job I am retired, doesn't matter if the brain fails occasionally hehe.

Oh I can't wait to see the new NB. I always only imagine that I'm onboard .

So the boat is going to be the same size as the previous SF? I thought it was going to be 60’

Out of curiousity, can you get a twin screw narrow boat?

Another great video lads, great to see the boat take shape.

Love the bloopers reel.
