Latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-6-rWQQGZUOld thread >>2335109Dougers take your meds.
>>2348658In this episode he also enlists a tranny to help fix the tranny.
>>2348659This is so fucking kek. Doug is a fag. Probably took him to the captain's quarters afterwards.
>>2348659I thought this was his fat cow of a gf for a minute lmao
>>2348659>>2348715>>2348716dougers absolutely destroyed
I can't wait for when(if) they get to the dam reservoir and add the sails to practice. They are going to be lucky if they even move without capsizing
Sails soon
>>2348659>>2348719its too bad this thread died because the troon is epic lulz
>>2349620Not on my watch
>>2348716Doug is in his 50s going for 60, that guy/girl is at least half his age. Could be his son/daughter. Are you autistic?
>>2349715Are you NOT?
>>2349715His son doesn't come around anymore, and isn't a troon.
>>2348722They will be lucky if the engine/transmission can pushing the boat against the current.
>>2348659>>2348719
>>2349885Based Photoshop boomer
>>2348722>lucky if they even move without capsizingchecked and confirmedi mentioned weight in the previous edition and how he might be making it a bit top heavy centre of gravity wise adding all that ballast up near the deck, that it may be "lively" on the waves.Doug has possibly already confirmed that describing the steering as really "responsive". worth keeping in mind he is currently in the calmest water the boat is ever likely to encounter; apart from the rain of coarse.things may be only just about to get exciting.i don't know if he's aware how much force those sails are going to put on things when the wind catches them.
>>2348774pray for him
honestly pretty impressed by betsy's art collection
Besides creating dangerous situation for the crew, what is the purpose of these side rails?
>>2349940rub rails.
>>2349940>dangerous situation for the crewI mean you can find plenty of those on any vessel intended to be more than a pleasure craft
He has a 100 lb propane tank in the crew cabin lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWHjvuT_Iyoaround 1:20
>>2349953I have never seen anything like that and I have worked on crew boats, tugs, cruise ships, and tall ships.
>>2349995
>>2349995>I have never seen anything like that and I have worked on crew boats, tugs, cruise ships, and tall ships.Oh a fellow mariner. What'd you do your MAP on?
>>2349940>>2349995i don't know shit about boats but it's probably so you can easily hook stuff to it and stand on it if need be.i don't know how this could create a "dangerous situation for the crew" but you're kinda retarded.
>>2348659Omfg

An NBC affiliate is confirming research vessel status. Dougn'ts BTFO.
>>2349965He already pointed out in past videos that "it's fine" and if they tell him to move it after an inspection he will just "put it right back right there as soon as they leave".It's obviously not fine because that gas pools at the bottom of the ship and afaik all of his gas sensors are on the ceiling.
>>2349965I'm surprised journalists aren't more reluctant to go below decks with these amateurs after what happened with Kim Wall.Now there's an idea for a mashup for the Photoshop boomer.
>>2350505>willyikes dougers really grasping at straws now
>>2350505>partisan media said it so it must be true
>>2350590What's partisan about Seeker?
>>2350226What about Kay? It would be interesting to see side-by-side comparison.
>>2350592I'm referring to NBC, not the boat.
>>2350596What the fuck happened to Rachel. She was a cut blonde cheerleader in her younger days.
>>2350586It all makes sense now. Those decapitation braces are just there as an alibi for when a female research intern gets hacked to pieces with a cutlass during a steamy session of pirate role play in the forward cabin.
Fuck, I'm late.
>>2351612Oh look, the narcissist is back.
>>2349715>Are you autistic?where do you think we are?
>>2351623Hey, at least I have a place in your heart now. I feel bad not having a cute name for you too.
>>2351905>thinks a descriptor for a whole group of people is a pet name just for them.lol.
>>2349914Looks like the Eyewitness intro corridors
>>2351930We have gone over this. That's what Narcissist means. That's the joke. Don't get dull on me.
>>2352036Ye old, 'hahaha I meant to be dumb' defence. Nice.
>>2352168remember n'ts are mostly boomers so that's still a thing to them.
>>2352168Anon, are you replying to that post? Your answer doesn't make sense. It's like you're having a breakdown or something. Are you OK?
Dougs newest tender is a genuine Scooty Puff Jr Whaly 500r
>>2353682my mistake, its a whaly 455r
>>2348658
>>2353682>>2353709It's gotta be an April's fools day joke.
>>2354180
>>2353709Is it made of some sort of foamed plastic that makes it essentially unsinkable? Any ideas for Doug to still fuck it up?>negligent exposure to heat or solvents>ramming it into something you really shouldn't>trying to fix what isn't broken
>>2352091they should use Dextron IIthe OG ATF made with whale oil
>>2354654>rotomoulded polyethyleneNevermind, it only takes one hole drilled in the wrong place then finding out no glue sticks to it
>>2354759>polyethyleneThere's tons of glues that stick to that. It's easily patched. You're thinking of Hypalon which not even the factory glue stick well to (but somehow barnacles have no problem).
>>2353682>Dougs newest tenderI'm surprised he didn't make a mini origami hulled steel boat with a rototiller engine and transmission for propulsion as his tender...
>>2354642Why is the tender moving to Oklahoma instead of Seeker picking it up in Louisiana?
>>2354990Because the Seeker will never make it to Louisiana.
>>2354993Why are you guys so dense?
>>2355019They like to poke fun. Remember: >>2351612
>>2354990>Why is the tender moving to Oklahoma instead of Seeker picking it up in Louisiana?GOOD question!Even with the transmission torn out, in pieces, and laying in the engine, Seeker should have no problem making it down to the Gulf. Its a SAILBOAT for christsake!
>>2354712dextron II is for womenDextron VI is the gods ATF
Sail upPort-o-John tender confirmedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPGGdra7Ggo
>>2355172A transmission can be rebuilt in a day though.
That chick is fuckin ugly. Doug should get some cute fem boys.
>>2355202>chick Anon...
>>2355204SHE identifies as a woman get over it bigot. Personally I am glad Doug is embracing the trans community. Hopefully soon his entire crew will be nothing but troons.
>>2355209Gender-affirming surgery the internet built (surgery by D. Jackson). Feel the fear and do it anyway.
>>2355209Doug identifies as a pilot, but that doesn't mean he won't sink his future reef environment.
>>2355182If you can get it out of the vehicle. That also doesn't fix it being wrong for the intended application.
>>2355393Why does he need a new tender in Muskogee?
>>2355415How the fuck should I know? I've never watched any of his videos
>>2355179Is he putting the sails up because he can't buy any more diesel?
>>2355209Go back to /v/.
>>2350235Can you imagine the sickly sweet aroma that emanates from her ripe diabetic snatch? I found some really old yogurt in the refrigerator and it brought back some joyful memories of Grandmother Nurgle. Anyway, enough reminiscing. Have to get this faulty transmission fixed.
>>2355725Best one yet, holy shit. What a work of art.
>>2355182Sure, by a transmission tech.By Doug? LOL.
>>2355725>the boat /diy/ built
>>2354902>There's tons of glues that stick to thatMost I'm aware of barely do a better job than just sticking and those that actually hold require careful preparation and following the procedures (on top of being expensive) which our Doug "I've watched a few videos on youtube so I'm now an expert on this topic *smug face*" Jackson isn't capable of
>>2350586That's a pretty cool sub. Shame the builder was a murderous nut though.
>>2356373>>2354759PE is typically welded, not glued.
>>2355209>onboard 12-15 troons>sinkhuh, could work
>>2357402>>onboard 12-15 troons>>sink>huh, could workNow I'm rooting for doug again!
>>2349965>where it will become a research vesselI thought he dropped that memeWasn't calling it a research vessel probably to avoid certain taxes and regulations?
>>2357700it was so he didnt have to register it as a recreational craft. which he wound up having to do. because the uscg was raised by women.
transmission part 2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPn0RlqI3zE
>>2355202If you need to turn big wrenches you don't get cute femboys, you get big, burly elderly-transitioning autogynephiles.
We need a Doug/Wayne collaboration, so Doug can bellow about being raised by a woman while grab assing with trannies, while Wayne steals parts off the engine to make his antigrav "experiments". I would sub to that YouTube channel.
If I was ever out somewhere and Doug got in my face, I'd tell that faggot to fuck off.
>>2350758First believable explanation I’ve heard

Dead boatDead thread
Cringe talking bilgerat Awkward interview with Whaly boat guyBetsy pets an alligator and learns what her skin could feel like if she used some lotion once and a whileDoug puts portapotty boat on the hoist and seeker is still ass heavyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6BU-2mXMbA
>>2362809At least he sounds happy.
>>2362809I'm not going to say he's winning, but he keeps progressing, and that's more than I'd have initially given him credit for.
How can this thread still survive yet Waynes Desert Sun Shade General hasn't? Yes Wayne is whack but at least he was interactive.
>>2362875see >>2361596
>>2362888Ahhh many thanks
>>2362888That's not a Wayne thread.
>>2362875Wayne probably exhausted his limited phone data plan since the government pays for it.
I am noticing these threads are slowing down, and I think it's a sign that Doug is not doing as shit of a job as we had expected. As he gets further from exploding on dry land, the interest is waning.
>>2363565Dougie's droogies won, bro. Let it go.
>>2363565He's just not doing shit. He's still stuck fixing his transmission andnfiguring out jow to slot sales or something .Is he out in the ocean yet? Post transponders or gtfo
>>2363926He’s in the water, a huge advancement.
>>2363968>he's in the waterdid it sink or something?
>>2363968It is an inoperable "boat" floating in a marina. That is not an advancement. He will be lucky if he makes it to the gulf by next spring. His next excuse will be hurricane season.
>>2358019Reminder that this is a family-friendly Christian imageboard.
Im glad Doug is hanging out at this harbor for a while, I've been meaning to visit the boat (I fabricated a few things on it 3-4 years ago) and I was fretting that I wouldn't be able to time my visit right. It's still an easy drive from Tulsa which has a nonstop flight from where I live.Yes I am autistic. Anyway, what do y'all want me to document while I'm there? Or ask Doug about? I will disregard any non serious but hopefully funny answers.
>>2348659The tranny mermaid carving suddenly makes sense.
>>2355725Make it happen. The retard singularity would be glorious to witness.
>>2364657The boat is afloat under the power of its own buoyancy. That’s way ahead of where he was at the official launch party.
>>2364706>I've been meaning to visit the boatCall ahead to make sure the Muskogee marina is open for public access. Some Dougn’ts got turned away from Catoosa because they weren’t authorized visitors.
>>2356536It's a shame they broke it up. They should have auctioned it off and added the money to the general fund for victims of crimes. Instead they wasted it.
Boat
>>2350505>It will become a research vesselthat's a funny way of saying artificial reef
>>2365812Rivers don’t have reefs.
>>2366016So Doug will have a World First.

>>2366219>those cries of tortured souls at 10:40
>>2366219>it's unlistedOh no no dougbros, what could that mean?
>>2366610>>Oh no no dougbros, what could that mean?Nothing, it means we can see his patreon exclusive content early instead of waiting for him to make it listed.
>>2366016Doug will bring that dream to reality.
lol imagine being a lanyard fag
>>2366693That's funny the law is that new. I thought it looked like he was inches of being yeeted out of the boat on the next bump>gotta go half throttle>boat about ready to flip over backwards>these damn other boats making fucning wakes
>>2366219In my country if you find litter on a beach or in the woods, you pick it up and take it with you. Doug says "this shouldn't be out here" and then leaves it behind.
>>2366883When he was still in Tulsa he was bragging about taking walks along the river picking up trash.
You know what Doug I just don't give a fuck
>>2366887He probably didn't think of bringing a bag when trying out the tender.Of all the things that are wrong with Doug, this is so low on that list that it isn't even worth mentioning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDTE4tiQs6MDoug runs transmission without any lubricant.Doug still can't figure out which way to pitch the prop.His "captain" can't figure out where neutral is.
>>2367191>locked tranny is too heavy now and bogs the idling engine down when switching into gear>the culprit is totally the prop not going into flat enough pitch>now that we fixed it it doesn't feather properly instead and will make extra drag under sails (the supposedly primary travel mode), but who cares and I wanted it like that anyways
>>2367238>tranny is too heavy nowIt’s all so tiresome. There is nothing wrong with a torque converter. Doug’s bizarre skeg-born cooler is the real culprit.
Fucking try me Doug
>>2362809
>>2348719>>2348658>>2348659Dammit why can't I have a thicc tranny to fix trannies with me. It isn't fair.
>>2358019Look man I just need someone to reliably turn a wrench
>>2369599you did a really shit job at cutting that out, but i can't blame you for not wanting to look at that smashed glazed doughnut of a hand
>>2369599
>>2369603It's not difficult to find fat men to work on transmissions.
>>2370654Doug has a fat man working on his transmission. Her name is Amanda.
>>2371490You seem more confused about its gender than it is.
>>2350514kek
Dougn't bros, we got too cocky. https://youtu.be/usRP9jo_GXc
Dougs volunteer confuses forward and reverse on the Porta-tender, nearly drives up into the wheelhouse (2:20): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usRP9jo_GXcSV Sinker seems to have run aground and refuses to move as they attempt to use the tender as a tugboat (1:40ish): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhYrhqQNjjgDougers will defend this
>>2371871When the tender runs into Seeker you can see her visibly roll side to side. Remember she's twin keeled. If one of those was grounded then she wouldn't rock like that. So what part is grounded? Her steg and rudder.Because of her trim and design whenever she scraps bottom the first thing to hit will be her steg followed by the rudder. If that steg hits anything hard best case is a hole and losing coolant. Worse case is the steg bends and binds the rudder causing a loss of steerage and/or puts the prop shroud into the prop.If she was sitting on her lines this wouldn't be such an issue. It also wouldn't be an issue if she was drafted by an actual naval engineer as this is a known problem and why all stegs and rudders have been made well short of the keel's depth since forever.
>>2371915But why is this harbor so shallow?
>>2371933>harborPretty sure he's sitting next to a marina and a park. You know for normal boats, not meme sailing boats.
>>2371933Idk if the harbor had poorly designed and built large vessels with an unknown waterline in mind when it was dredged.
>>2371942I think it's literally a turn around for a little marina. His dumbass is just parked in the middle of it.
>>2371942>poorly designedMaybe just poorly maintained. Regular dredging is absolutely necessary.
>>2371933It's not really. It has a 9' controlling depth with 12' at the docks. While there might be an 8' shallow in there the real question is what's Seeker actually drawing. She was drafted for a 5.5' draft, painted for a 6'+ draft and with that trim could very well be dragging the rudder another foot and a half under the keels. According to the drawings her rudder should be sticking out of the water by a foot. As she sits we can't even see the top of the rudder in the water. Doug needs to do more trimming.
We should build another boat to ram it
You fuck tards just cling onto reddit and FB and bring nothing to the table.
>>2371871Made it 50 feet. How embarrassing.
>>2367553>Doug’s bizarre skeg-born coolerTourist here, I've no idea what yr referring to but a keel cooling tank is an ordinary thing.t. I've built a few barges & narrowboats
>>2372165The keels are full of lead so Doug is using the skeg to cool the engine and tranny.
>>2372171The ones we used were dead simple. its a maybe 3ft square plate with many 2" flat bars welded so the water serpentines through the whole thing, then that is welded to the hull- or the 'swim' in narrowboat parlance.They're awkward as fuck to seal properly due to the confined welding position & pressure test.I wouldn't think a skeg has enough surface area to heat exchange properly now I think about it.
>>2372171>>2372179https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5-tY-Cskfw&ab_channel=SVSeekerThis is why I don't read or post in these threads.>Using a guardless 9" grinder around children & animals>Disgusting welding technique & filthy parent metal>Spot welding pinholes on pressure vessels>Dry dock required for even a cursory inspectionI could go on.

>>2372114Go watch the YT videos if you want source material.
>>2371874>that much list in flat water with the sails down and no windheh
>>2372286That listing is being caused by the tow line.
Now that the Seeker is blocking a public harbor, will the Coast Guard appear?

B-b-but its supposed to be a research vessel!!
>>2373653LOL, now it's trolls who caused problems with his registration, not Doug himself talking about it being a research vessel. Fucking lawl. Doug is being his usual fuckup self. So much for your Arctic circle adventures! This is funny as FUCK after all of his sperging about "research vessel' and the incels here who fell for that.
>>2373653Big dick Doug with the senator on speed dial. Seeker is a big deal.
Doug left a salty reply on my Youtube comment #blessed
>>2373653>We're not selling rides! We're just taking mon-- er, donations for the right to join our awesome selves on our sails. What kind of a neverdoer raised by a woman are you to not being able to tell the difference
Boat bros, what sort of scams are out there for Doug to say, resister seeker under a different country but still operate mostly in the US? or technically operate in South America just long enough for legal reasons?
>>2374380Have C-Monkey register it as a support ship for his yacht moving company
>>2374311>>2374380>>2374383Why is there so much scammery surrounding this simple boat?
>>2374380flags of convenience are a thing. I would love to see Doug deal with third world bureaucracy trying to get one though.
>>2374385Because he sunk all of his retirement funds in it (pun intended).
SV Seeker will sink in the Mississippi with all hands aboard. Except Captain Doug who fled like a woman in the only lifeboat.

No updates? - guess I'll go to reddit.
>>2388253Please post what you find there (I've been perma-banned.)

>>2387911What did Doug do to it this time?
any news?
>>2391077This makes sense. The size distortion is caused by the mercator projection. He really should have built the boat further south
People are saying he welded a tractor seat to the top of the mast as a "crows nest"I'm the biggest Dougn't, but I actually think this is mounted on a sleeve so that it will slide up and down the mast like a little elevator. Better than hoisting yourself up there in a harness, I guess.What do you think? Is it welded directly to the mast? Or is it on a sleeve?
>>2392326The mast is tapered.
>>2392326>crows nestCalling it human catapult would be more accurate (just wait for a good wave)
>>2392336yeah but you cant see if what i think is the "sleeve" has a gap at the bottom.would not be surprised if he used a harbor freight electric winch to get himself up there
>>2392326>>2392336>>2392405nvm it looks like it might just be bolted to the top of what was the lamp post.what a dumbass
>>2348659If that thing ever is on the open water someone needs to board it and put a gunpowder barrel in the lower decks
>>2392326>>2392375>>2392409HF winch to hoist Betsy up there and fuck her in the sex-swing tractor seat..... Let the motion of the ocean do it's thing.
>>2392491Betsy seems out of the picture. Anyone seen her lately? I'm not watching this shit
>>2392499Or whatever his current slampig's name is...
>>2348658Doug, I saw you on open water... for a minute I thought it was your boat. Do you see what I mean? Yeah Doug, mother nature sure does pack a punch. Like I said on the Jewtube, taking that homemade boat to open seas will be your demise. That boat has ZERO quality assurance, I honestly hope you know what you’re doing.
>>2392499She appears to be off-camera a lot because she's not really liked by the community, but it seems she's the one looking after all of the marketing stuff and probably editing videos/uploading them too. She also talks (on fb) about money quite often so maybe she's managing founds too
>>2392409fellas would you sit on that thing for any extent of time whatsoever?
>>2392947If it was still on a tractor maybe
You wake up and see this. What do you do?
>>2393174I'd wake up as soon as I heard a door open and shoot him
>>2393174Sit up too quickly and slice my skull open
>>2392491Hoisting Ballast "Beetus" Betsy up there, aside from being a herculean feat, would upset the point of gravity of the vessel too much. Any rolling beyond 1 degree would cause the mast to slam the slampig into the sea at such a high speed that the impact would render all the fat off of her cadaver. This event would become to be known as the BB oil spill.

>>2394588probably missing out on a lot of the power the wind could provide. I'm sure the vw engine will do most of the heavily lifting no problem tho

Seeker will never sail. Doug has no clue how to sail. You will notice how there are hardly any places on deck to tie seeker to a dock. Notice there is no hardware for the running rigging except for some clutches and a single winch in the pilot house. Seeker can barely move under engine power, and will never move under sail. Imagine a sailboat with no where on deck to fasten or stow lines.
I forgot about this guy. I remember the episode where he got divorced. Kids were around for a few more episodes, then nothing. Hope the trannies were worth it Doug.
>>2396584Youtube fame is a hell of a drug. The boomer never stood a chance
>>2396558>there are hardly any places on deck to tie seeker to a dockIt's a sailing vessel, not hanging-out-in-a-dock vessel
>>2396896the only places its going to hang out in are either the bottom of the sea floor or a scrapyard
>It's a sailing vessel, not hanging-out-in-a-dock vesselWell, then I guess planes don't need wheels.
>>2396896It won't be a sailing vessel with no functional sails or running rigging, which was my original point.
>>2397339>>2397322Oh come on, he's got a whole workshop and enough scrap on board to fabricate whatever he needs at a moment's notice, and can even easily fix it when it tears a hole in the deck due to lack of proper reinforcement if he's lucky enough to not flood and sink immediately

>>2398447Would you trust any gas system cobbled together by Doughnut?>>2400088Never ceases to amaze me how is it possible to spend so much time, effort, and money on this project yet end up with an unviable boat and be so completely clueless and unprepared at this stage
Can you imagine struggling with that rats nest of ropes on the sails, at night. With 40 mph winds. And sea water surging across the deck?
>>2400291I hope he puts a hydraulic winch with half a dozen valves to control on each mast.
>>2400392we already know his hydraulic pumps can't handle even moderate load (see anchor motor that needed replacement)he'll be running around closing off "accessory" valves to build enough pressure every time he has to raise the sail.
>>2400291No no anon you don't understand the beauty of the junk rigging.....Profit

>>2367553Idiot could have dropped in any of many manual truck gearboxes and had far superior reliability.
>>2392409Looks like a classic manlift accident waiting to happen. Wonder how far the untethered can fly.
>>2400291Not an issue since the boat will have no pilothouse windows by that point and power shorted out and sinking with bilge pumps not working
>>2400613He still can. Doug has proven beyond all doubters that he can remove and replace the tranny without pulling his engine.
>>2400982Doug didn't pull the tranny, his tranny did

>>2392491>Hoisting Ballast "Beetus" Betsy up there, aside from being a herculean feat, would upset the point of gravity of the vessel too muchlmao at that point you're basically turning the mast into another upside down keel
