i started with horse hooves trimming, now im here.

My father did this type of work for over 3 decades and never wore eye protection. Then one day a piece of barnacle got stuck in one of his eyes and messed up his vision permanently. Do not take certain tasks in your lives for granted and be safe.

It is amaizing how this kind of plague affects vessel's performance, both in speed reduction and fuel cunsumption increese. It also depends on the anti fouling hull painting applied, either for fresh or salt water, for cold or warm zones. If it is an improper anti fouling, barnacles or mussels will grow few weeks. And to blast the hull, must use protective glasses, wich is not the presente case.

What's concerning to me is the lack of eye protection! I'm an outboard mechanic but also clean boats and I can not even imagine not wearing atleast sunglasses.

If there was ever a job that needed protective eyewear, this is it.

Day before: 35mph Day after: 85mph

I'm not the only one who enjoys videos like this lol. Oddly enough I no longer feel like a weirdo. I bought myself a pressure washer to power wash my driveway and garage. It's so addicting

It is utterly amazing how fast it cleans when you press on the red button on move it to the right.

Barnacle news be like.. "A major city was laid to ruins this afternoon, tonight at 5."

Seriously, tell that guy to get some eye protection. The guy at my marina nearly lost his eye doing the same. A barnacle in the eye will do damage!

“4200 rpm pressure washer” The whole pressure washing industry just shed a tear

jeez, that must have been causing tremendous drag on that hull.

Owner: "Don't know why my performance is sluggish" Staff: "could be that Insane carpet attached to the hull"

I dont own a boat. I will probably never pressure wash barnacles from a boat. Yet here we are.

It also costs a lot of money each time you have a vessel taken out of the water AND everyday it occupies a parking space too. A 130' ship in our yard was paying $650.00 everyday just in parking fees. For about 20 days.

This is so satisfying, I would totally do this as a job

Ever hear of safety glasses? Barnacle chips and corneas do not play well together.

Anyone else find this odly oddly satisfying?

Seems like a fun job, simple, straightforward, no stress. Clock in, clean some boats, do some cleanup presumably off the floor, store your equipment, clock out. Rinse and repeat.

Satisfying video. I love watching getting rid all that barnacles.

I hope they kept the receipt for the last lot of anti-fouling paint.

If you let your boat get like this...... Sell it , you don't need it😩

This looks like such satisfying work.

Yeah it can get pretty bad, dad had a barque that was so bad for barnacle/growth we could see it from the deck. For my part it confirmed why sailors back in the day absolutely feared keel hauling (the punishment).

But the owner changed the oil and fuel filters regularly, right? 😂

Damn you Covid-19!!!! Look at what I'm watching!! 😭

Amazing

Barnacle blaster. Cool job title, and a good name for a cocktail.

Wow how many years was that boat just sitting in the water.

Barnacles remind me of Ticks.

It seemed like such a great place to settle down. Everyone was raving about it...

So amazing! I loved that video. Adriano from Brazil. 😀

The 2 best days of a man’s life. When you power wash all the barnacles off your boat and when you sell it.

He should wear safety glasses if one of those shells fly in his eyes he will know it

Clyoster: “I’m immune against water” Pressure washer: YES

I keep hearing millions of little barnacles screaming, "PLEASE don't kill me! I want to live!" (I grew up watching Disney movies) lol

Mate, you might want to think about wearing some eye protection when doing this!

I was a marine engineer and had to check seawater intakes and discharge chambers. I could smell these barnacles as they came off......I'm 73 now,so it gives you an idea how long the smell stays with you. I was junior third engineer doing this....about 26/7 yrs old

Just wondering: How much pressure on the pressure washer and why is it not eating holes in the boat hull? How long did the barnacles have to mess a boat like this one up? How about the water intakes and internal operations open to the sea? Just as congested as the underside of the boat?

Yall doing it the easy way!!! I do em in the water, here in Sarasota Florida, youll have barneys twice that thick in 2 to 3 months...

I worked in a boat yard in Hawaii! I can SMELL this video.... you’d be surprised what lives in barnacle groupings .

Someone's gonna enjoy their majorly improved fuel efficiency.

I'm dying to know how long that boat was sitting in water to get such a terrible infestation like that. There's no way that boat could have moved on its own power like that.

Alfred, yo soy Armando el Flaco que trabajaba contigo en Stanley Steemer . Un abrazote , mi hermano . Que alegria verte por aqui.

Without reading every comment I doubt I’m the only person wondering why the hell a business would not buy an inexpensive extension rod for that pressure washer. Safer distance from the back spray (even more necessary when not using any safety equipment) much less fatigue for the worker, and more efficient. Outside of that the video was great.

Wow that's crazy just many of the buggers were on there. That pressure washer didn't mess around. Good job.

That was cool. I'll go see if you polished that thing afterwards.

Best clean I’ve seen good job

I love watching the removal of those living things. You such a great job when cleaning them. Keep up the good work.

How do I get a job like this! Most satisfying thing ever!!!

How strong is the pressure washer ? And how much could you charge for something like this

You never know where you're gonna end up in life or on youtube... From whale lice to barnacle removal

I have entered the barnacle blasting side of KZfaq and I aint complaining. Love these recommendations now.

Barnacles are the glitter ✨ of the ocean 🌊. Once they get onto something they never fully go away.

dude thats just aweful, im shocked that thing even moved lol, shame that owner rekt the twin volvo penta outdrives, i mean yea they still work but the finish is trashed an the props are pretty rekt to, im sure there not at all balanced anymore after them being eaten on by barnacles like that, your guys did a great job tho it made one hell of a difference, stay blessed Alfred !

i saw a clip on a video about barnacles and suddenly saw this and find out that it is so satisfying so that i searched for it to find the full video haha

"Billions of blue blistering barnacles!”

Watching this @ 2:00 a.m in the morning without sleeping is a bless 😴

I wonder which kind of adhesive those barnacles use. It must be extremely strong

Barnacle blaster is a fantastic job title🤣 it just sounds good.

That’s why keel hauling was such a harsh punishment. Usually resulting in being cut up and bleeding to death. Like sliding down a cheese grater naked.

We need to get Drain Addict and his Double Barrel involved!

That was an epic encrustation. My word a shame the owner let that happen. Good clean up. Hopefully on to more work for this vessel.

Finally understood why Captain Haddock used "Ten Thousand Blistering Barnacles" as his swear word! Can understand his frustration as a captain!

Barnacles: "This is prime real estate." Pressure washer: um no lol

Oddly satisfying……thanks for sharing!

Omg, the smell!!!! I pressure washed crab pots as a kid. You never forget the stench.

That high pitched buzzing sound you hear is the barnacles screaming!

There was enough life on there they needed a permit from fish and wildlife.

I am here from youtubepedia

how are you able to remove the barnacles that easily? high water pressure or hot water?

That looks so satisfying. I love high-pressure cleaning things!

Looking good! Kinda satisfying to watch

I love your job man

Very satisfiying

I toured a boat yard in Monterey, CA.. watched the hull cleaning with 10,000 psi blaster. It pealed those barnicles off like it was nothing. Didn't stand a chance.

This is like a 9 year olds dream job.

Bro. Thats a whole eco system. I remember growing up we went to the marina in Holiday an they had a troller on blocks to clean the hull. Amazing what grows on these things.

Fresh water pre conditioning helps. Fresh water kills sea growth on contact. There's a fresh water lake in Panama we used to flush out our fire-mains on a Cruiser with. Didn't get it all but we cleaned out a lot of muck that came from the Kennebec river near Bath Maine.

Must have been an unused titanic life boat.

Maybe some PPE gloves, safety glasses. Oh Boy.

My first thought is amazement that there is nothing that can be applied to the boat to prevent this!

"So anyways I start blasting" -Frank Reynolds

I wonder how many years of growth that was with all those barnacles and shellfish

Imagine how grateful this boat must feel. All those barnacles must have felt like a constant itch on the boat's tummy.

Pressure washer to barnacle: "You have no power here"

Those are zebra mussels with a few barnacles. The mussels grow really fast. We have them on the Severn River which is just off the Chesapeake Bay.

Where's the eye protection, I wouldn't want a little muscle lodged in my eye.

That honestly looks super fun

Does anyone know ( approximately) how long it takes for a boat to get like this?

That's a sin to have your boat like that

Wonder what the boat weighted before and after it was clean. Just to get an idea of how much was there.

In a nutshell, I just liked and subscribed.

I'm assuming something had to have gotten up into the intake. Maybe not past the impellers though. How do they remove that? Curious minds want to know.

Whoever owns that boat should be ashamed... Good job pressure washer guy... 👌🏽

I remember having to use a 4 inch putty knife scrape down the hall of my dad’s mullet fishing boat and then put a coat of red lead paint on it. That was a while ago.

question is did you set the stands and scoot straps to get those areas.

That looks like a job for a 4500# machine or more! The more pressure done correctly the farther back the gun can be and make a wider fan pattern. Speeds up the job while still getting it clean. Really hate it when they skate over the job. The local marina won't let you do your own but they never have any help that does a decent job. Very frustrating as we used to be able to do our own and take all the necessary time to get it done right. Now they blast through it and don't even do the strap area or the blocking areas much less clean the hull properly.

Man! That is a lot of sheepshead bait! Lol...Great work on getting that mess off the boat!

I'm waiting on sponge Bob popping out.
