I saw that but I was thinking to jack it up and putting it on another set of supports and doing whatever painting and fixing was required safely and without having to pay for extra time renting that crane.. edit: Since many people were commenting on the safety issues, I was focusing on the monetary issue of having a very expensive mobile crane hold a boat uo in the air so you could hurriedly paint a couple of spots. I don't know if it hung there long enough for the paint to properly dry$$$. I would expect a yard like this to have plenty of hydraulic jacks and stacking blocks to set up replacement support points and lift the boat an inch or two remove the old blocks and lower to the new supports, one end at a time. That bow thruster design is horrific. It will produce a tremendous amount of drag and it protrudes below the bottom of the boat. If you hit anything or run aground, you might rip the hull wide open. Have you never seen a bow thruster on another boat?

If it was me, I would overplate, weld, or "truck bed liner" spray the interior of the hull. Having those pinholes leaking means there's probably some amount of other places that are close to breaking through. Running two layers of silicon bronze with a MIG would work - but man, that would be pricey and time consuming. I'm looking forward to see what great things you have in store coming up!

The ONLY way to fix leaks in a steel hull is to cut the thin, leaking area out and insert a new piece of plate. Putting a "bandaid" over a leak is an emergency fix. Dont even consider using spray bed liner, you will hate trying to remove it so the steel is weldable and you would have to sandblast the rust off anyway before using it. Might as well do it right and replace the steel. Ultrasound inspect the hull and replace the rusted, thin sections. Journeyman ship fitter since 1976 so I have seen a few rusty boats.

@@kolsen6330 totally agree, ultrasound inspection to give an overall picture of thickness of the shell plate, and I would suspect, going my the level of lamination seen in places on the inside that the plate will be highly corroded to the point of being dangerous, I wouldn’t want to hit it with a needle gun, that’s for sure , certainly fixable with the right skills but not a job for an amateur…… huge expensive job.. but kudos to him for keeping her afloat and good luck to him, and I’m not being facetious when I say that….

As a welder and fabricator those corroded spots give me reason for pause. I do believe I would have a large bilge pump ready and battery backup on it. I fear those pin holes are the least of your worries. Any spray on liner material will only trap moisture beneath and hide small issues until they are larger. At some point you are going to have to replace the bad areas with new sheet. Cool boat though, a lot of thought and work has made for a useful platform. Looking forward to seeing your next video.

One thing I learned about barge's after working as a commercial diver in the gulf of Mexico, is always have some splash zone on board. Also if you take on water, and don't discover it right away, and you will with a old barge, you can still weld underwater. Prepare some rod's ahead of time..Dip some 7018's in wax/paraffin and reverse the polarity so the stinger is neg and the ground pos. As long as you are wearing rubber boots and rubber gloves and aren't wet on your skin you can patch up a hole or tear. But definitely have some splash zone on that boat. Followed your channel from the start and I'm impressed so far. Keep up the good work 👍 -Dennis

To keep the interior from rusting put in a dehumidifier! Big steel bridges are kept in shape this way so it's a proven method. The Öresunds bridge between Denmark and sweden is not painted on the inside Just kept on low level of air moisture content so that the steel cant corrode. When you are done with shecking for pinhole corrosion , made interior you can sandblast and paint with ordinary paint. Do not spray insulate the hull on the inside especially not with Pu based foam if you make a interior in the hull .This will make any future welding very problematic. The foam( or any left overs of it around in your heat zone) will give away toxic isosynate when heated starting as low as 100 degrees. And if you acidently ignite it the foam the hole inside will burn out totally. Probably ruining your freeboard exterior paint in the process. I know a guy that acidently ignited the insulation foam in his steel boat with some sparks of a angel grinder ,the hull survived but the paint and all interior/ electronics/ stuff was at totall loss. Basically just to sand blast the hull and start over again.

Most of the micro holes and leaking seams will close themselves within a week or so. We had the same phenomenon on our little ship. I would not recommend welding on the hull below the waterline while the boat is in the water. With your old steel and rivets there is a chance, not as small as you might think, that something opens up. Sometimes you have imperfections within the steels and when you weld next to them the just leave you with a big hole and loads of water coming in.

If there is a pinhole leak you need to replace the entire area all the steel around that leak is probably 0.5 mm thick id be wary if i were you and you need finer mesh around that thruster the holes in the mesh should be no larger than the smallest space between the blades that mesh is asking trouble from the first piece of driftwood to get sucked in

As everybody says .. you should have jacked the boat up even with hammer, wedge and shims, to move the blocks so prepare, prime and AF and let it all dry before launch. 2. Crane driver should have positioned centre to lift at a minimum. When I have done launches with cranes (many) I always make the water side lift close than the shore side. If you can pick it up 1cm without tipping the crane then you can put it down the other side over water as that is nearer. 3. As they say, bow thruster is horrendous. Thin galvanised sheet AF on one side only will corrode very fast. You have no AF on the thruster props so they will get fouled and with the grill in the way you will not be able to get to them to clean by diving :-( Finally from me.. a small one, but always install a bolt from top to bottom so that when the nut vibrates off the bolt cannot drop out.

Dear MFB guy I really don't want to destroy your dreams but 😱 the pinholes made me worry a lot. Maybe the old steel/iron sheets of the barge bottom have desintegrated a lot more than it's visionable. I guess that only a firm inspection with a special metal thickness measuring device will give you safety. For instance Sailing Melody did this with their abandoned steel sailing boat and had some surprising results. I highly recommend that you do the same for your own safety. Thanks in advance for consideration. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
