Definite possibility. Also possible that she doesn't even make it out of port.This is a cool project. Sadly I have a strange feeling once on the water that boat won’t make a year before something happens to it sinks, fire, runs aground. I think I get this feeling from the company he keeps around to help with this project.
Can’t wait to see her sail!
Same. fuck that guy.Stopped watching when he pulled that stupid prank.
What was the prank? I generally like the channel, but the videos have gotten a bit more boring lately. We did drive by and see the thing from the street the last time we were in Tulsa. We never went up and helped him work on it, though.
Something about blowing himself up. watching the vid, it looked pretty staged, but a lot of people took it to heart and then got super extra butthurt when he revealed it was a prank.What was the prank?

With the following he has he'll probably get bailed out by the public unless it burns and sinks.This is a cool project.

Figured it was staged from the beginning, one thing Pirate taught us was to never take anything for face value. Search of the news didn't turn up any story in the Tulsa area of an explosion and injury. Even as people were commenting it was a prank he carried on, involved a recognized brain doc, talking about the severity of his injuries, and the possibility of him never recovering.Something about blowing himself up. watching the vid, it looked pretty staged, but a lot of people took it to heart and then got super extra butthurt when he revealed it was a prank.
He was forced to by a neighbor who kept reporting him and an inspector who decided he was running a business because he gets donationsLeo moved Tally Ho not too long ago too.
Yea, that was bullshit, but sorta unsurprising in this day and ageHe was forced to by a neighbor who kept reporting him and an inspector who decided he was running a business because he gets donations
Once he gets done his cash cow goes away. I wouldn’t doubt if something happens he’ll get a big gofund me and then disappear.With the following he has he'll probably get bailed out by the public unless it burns and sinks.
Some kinda crazy guys dream build. It was built with free hippie manpower and donations.What is this project? I'm completely in the dark here. What's the point of this boat?
So, what's the plan now? Step 1. Build boat. Step 2. Launch boat. Step 3. ????Some kinda crazy guys dream build. It was built with free hippie manpower and donations.
Dudes a decent fabber he built everything on the boat. Pretty neat watch
He's doing some nonprofit stuff where he's planning to rent out discount boat time to biology grad students so they can measure shrimp in the gulf or whatever. It remains to be seen whether that will actually happen.So, what's the plan now? Step 1. Build boat. Step 2. Launch boat. Step 3. ????
it is all on you tubeWhat is this project? I'm completely in the dark here. What's the point of this boat?
So, basically his plan was to build the boat because that sounds about as close to no plan as I could imagine for something that took that much time, money, and effort.He's doing some nonprofit stuff where he's planning to rent out discount boat time to biology grad students so they can measure shrimp in the gulf or whatever. It remains to be seen whether that will actually happen.

This is 4 years old, but a good quick intro in to the insanity.What is this project? I'm completely in the dark here. What's the point of this boat?
There's gotta be a grift in there somewhere. Sadly, it seems like most "nonprofits" are basically set up as grifts.They've started the "Seachest Foundation" as a non-profit. The boat will be leased to the foundation for $1 and will serve as a "Free of Charge Research Vessel". It was always designed with research in mind. He even built an ROV from scratch.

I’ve watched it off and on for a few years and I agree he is a decent fabber. He also figures systems out when installing and commissioning them.Some kinda crazy guys dream build. It was built with free hippie manpower and donations.
