mid cabin video

Post by BobCT »

This is Part I of 3. It's a little rough, I did it on the fly using my iphone and turned the phone a couple of times which changes the picture. I also missed a few key things like inside storage and 12v ventilation which I'll add next upload.


I'll redo this again when the boat is cleaned up and I'll use my camcorder next time.

Very cool! Excellent presentation of your boat, which will also help and inspire other owners as well! Great job! :D

Bob,

nice tour!

I like your upgrades.

Really nice of you to share these details with us all.

Any photos on your bow pulpit project yet?

thanks guys, I'll post some more. RWS, I didn't get to that this year but will come fall. I'm going to do the same thing I did with the engine hatches, cut through the bottom layer, peel back the glass, replace the coring and re-glass back together.

Thanks Bob!
What type of primer/paint are you using on the cabin door? I love the stairs and cabin floor? I've been trying to find wide teak boards to do the same thing but haven't had any luck.

Nice boat. Very. Horrible videography. Next time have someone else video while you narrate. Only zoom in when showing particulars. Saw a lot of the patrs of your boat, but not much of the boat as a whole. Almost Got motion sick a coupla times.

Sorry but my HO.

Hey Bob,

I know you didn't have the professional equipment to shoot this video, and I suspect that you never attended film school, Additionally there probably was no well written script to read from, not to mention the obvious lack of rehersal and thge bad lighting, and worst of all, what the hell happened to the John Williams soundtrack.

C'mon !

Despite all those obvious failures, I really appreciate the TIME youy took to shoot and post that spot in an obvious effort to SHARE your upgrades TO THE BENEFIT of all of us here at the Forum.

So THANKS AGAIN for what you have contributed to all of us here.

This concept of IDEA SHARING is especially valuable.

RWS

P.S. don't bother submitting this to the Academy as a short documentary. NO OSCAR FOR YOU !
