I can't wait to see the episode where you find an old plane in the bush, fix it up and fly it home.

I can't believe your already amazing property has waterfront access on top of it all! Stunning.

Next episode: This hut doesn’t look like it’s started for a while...let’s see if I can get it going!

You're a man of many skills Marty

They easiest way that i have found to find holes is to turn the boat over and put a torch under it at night. The holes come shining thru!

That cabin was very well built, with the diagonal bracing let into the walls. The siding was pretty fancy also. Thanks for the great videos!

Good find Marty! Insurance won’t care because it’s not worth their time but it is a great little work boat for you. It would be worthwhile to check on whether there is an owner for the cabin. That might prove to be a better salvage!

You sure do live in a beautiful part of the world, I always love to hear the bird song in the back ground too.

"Let's get out of here." Little creeped out, were you? I don't blame you. I was waiting for you to find the body.

I laughed how your voice got deeper when you shouted "Is anybody there" 😂😂

He wears knee high waterproof boots in every situation except when pulling a boat out of ankle deep water. Love it.

That was a well made cabin. Strange that it seemed abandoned.

next video: “I found an old ship, looks like it was called the “Titan-or something… Fixed it and steamed it home”

You must be the luckiest person around just finding these things.

I love stories like this - will it start/run/float. Guys that have the knowledge, time and patience for such projects deserve all the satisfaction and pleasure they get for recycling. Excellent stuff!

Much better adventure than anything on tv today; thanks for the ride-along Marty!

Well done Marty, a good deed done and a free boat with motor. Thanks for the adventure. Tom Uk

Our man creeping around a stabbin' cabin in the woods. Sod that.

Thank you for your videos Marty. Your projects and aptitude are enjoyable and enlightening for me. I have a similar small outboard that I purchased repair parts for and been dragging my feet to finish. Thank you for the influence to get it finished!

Competence is at the top of my list for thrills . This young mans video sent joy like an arrow to my heart . Good to see someone building his life , using his environment , mind , hands and heart to such excellent effect . For me , knowing the choices I made ( not bad ones , I mean we only get one life and I really used mine ) and knowing what I now know , I think I might have really gloried in the kind of life shown here . No regrets , but a lot of pleasure viewing this video . Thanks

Well done! I would wager that if you took this guy down to the Titanic he would have it running and on the surface in no time.

I never get bored watching you. A stunning place where you live.

Just imagine what Marty and Andrew could do if they teamed up! Both amazing in there own right. Thank you Marty!!

Seriously dude, is there anything you can't do? Lol Greetings from UK

The regular plumbing torch with some of those aluminum welding rods from Amazon would do a nice job fixing her up 👍

The way you are mate, someone will pay you to take a perfectly good boat trailer away.😁

Marty I have a 5 meter 1981 Savage Gannett tinnie with the original 35 horse Evinrude on it. The boat has a heavy aluminium 'I beam' added along the keel for use on stony beaches but the little engine pushes the boat along nicely even with a towing prop!

Thanks Marty, for taking us along on another great video adventure with you!

Excellent storytelling as usual Marty. Best let the police or insurance company know. Wouldn’t want you to get into trouble if it technically belongs to the insurance company now.

Pity you didn't show us how to cook the mussels. I would have found that interesting. That really is a beautiful place you live in.

Greetings from Wales UK love your videos is anything you can't fix your a very knowledgeable guy regards keith

Great score Marty! Clearing the waterways, upcycling, awesome.

The boat's leaking, the outboard is shot, what do you reckon, cut the mooring rope then claim on the insurance?

Yes I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a video from you in abit .was getting worried 😂

I've got exactly the same engine for my 3.4m RIB, but in good condition, probably because it's had 98% fresh water use. It's been a great little engine, but struggles to get me and the boat on to the plane as well. The video was a nice little primer for when I do the impeller soon. Thanks Marty.

There's nothing that Marty can't fix!!! 👍👍AWESOME find Marty!!!

Surely the fact that it hit the shore right by that hut cannot be a coincidence...? Suspicious.

Did you put on your best masculine voice on "Is Anyone There" 😁

You live an interesting life, Marty. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

This video was suspenseful! Loved it!

The boat was a cool find but the creepy cabin was more interesting lol. Do a video exploring it!

Dude! The half sunken boat and the (appears to be) abandoned shack hidden in the woods, is straight out of a horror movie! I was waiting for a blur of sudden movement, a terrified scream, the camera crashing to the ground (still filming), and the sound of a body being dragged into the woods!

your demeanor and the vids are strangely satisfying.

I can remember Dad putting an inspection light underneath an upturned alu boat one night to find the pin holes. I don't remember how effective it was 😆

That was pretty sweet how you hauled it on that 4 wheeler trailer.

A hut in a forest? This is how horror movies start.

That was a very nice find ! For the little bit of work to put into it to keep it dry inside and the basic motor maintenance this is a diamond . You are one lucky bloke .

Too right Mate! love your video's. As a retired Diesel tech (×3), at one, or two points in my life I have side trained in Marine (Merc Master tech), and was stationed in West Australia 74-76. Visited NZ 3x during my Winter Over 80-81, on the South Pole. Free Boat, Fare Dinkum I say!

Glad your back m8. Thought you were MIA...

So you're telling me you caught a boat. Damn you good.

Another great vid Marty!

Thoroughly enjoy all your uploads Marty, but this latest adventure was great! Thanks for sharing!

NZ - it would have to be one of the nicest places on earth.

That’s one of those houses you find but never live to tell anyone.

Cool video buddy as always. New boat looks great!

Love your videos Marty, you really do live in paradise.

Looking forward to seeing Thunderbird 4 back to her full glory!

There are some aluminium "welding rods", advertised a lot. Actually, they are soldering rods, but it would do fine for this after cleaning with the power washer. BTW i'd put a roof on it, some solar panels, battery and an electric motor, 10kW or so... it would be fun. :D

I was getting those Baywatch vibes in the first couple of minutes. Quality vid as always mate

I'm always impressed with your videos. Seems to me, you can fix anything. Nice find, getting a free boat.

Next time on the Marty T channel, Marty salvages a hut for his private beach.

Everything Marty gets into is an adventure. Even everyday events bring something new to tinker with.

A Couple of layers of fine fiberglass on the out side, smoothed and polished and hey presto new boat... Great video, part 2 is a must though.. :-))

Wow, super cool! I really dig that boat. Nice video.

Careful the reason why the guy didn't want the boat back is simple. Its no longer his boat once the Insurance company pays out. If he took it back he would have to pay the Insurance company for it. So in that kind of situation its always best to phone the old fuzz.

Flipping the impeller around usually breaks the fins a lot faster.

One of my favorite KZfaq channels. 👌

Hi Marty,nice little boat👍👍. I ❤️ to look your videos😜!! Greeting's from France🥖🇫🇷 Peter

Show us how you do those muscles sometime. I like that boat too; great find; collect all the missing hardware.

There is nothing more definite in the world of engineering than does it float?

Great video. A man of many talents. Can't wait for your next one.

That's a really well-built boat probably been around for a while Marty I could see you putting a car engine in that having a bit of fun. Marty New Zealand looks beautiful would love to go there someday but I know that will never happen anyway you can bring it to me here on KZfaq thank you so much you take care stay well stay safe and as always God bless

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip that started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship. 🎵 • 🚤 • ⚓️ • 🗺 • 🎶

The way they check for leaking rivets on an aluminum Airstream trailer? A large suction cup. The type you use on large glass panels or auto body work.

Great to watch,ur skills are amazing,keep the videos coming,really do enjoy watching,all the best from the uk

Nice find Marty. I have an old 12' alum v bottom with a 15 horse Johnson. It flies! and leaks. 😄

Some shades of Deliverance going on there for a bit :-) and the one thing you can't beat in life is FREE!!!!

Difficult to imagine that the boat "just happened to beach " directly in front of hut. Possible dope grower just hiding in bush. :)

Great video Marty

Super cool! A free boat with a little work, good on you.

That’s an insurance job if I’ve ever seen one. They def let her go on purpose. Lol. No prob. You get a free cool boat to fix up.

Do all boats need insurance? Like what size requires it? Just wondering I don’t know. Seems weird to have insurance on that

stunning location love the colour of the water......well done with the boat

Watching your channel is very relaxing. looks like you have yourself your own little slice of heaven there.

Their crappy old boat went "missing" and they claimed the insurance, riiiiight.

If the original owner has claimed the insurance then they haven't got the legal authority to give it away to you. They may say that "they don't want it back" but it's still property of their Insurance company until they deed it to you. Don't put any more effort into repairing it until you report it to police and get the insurance to waive all claims to it. Remarkable place you live in, m8.

Nice looking muscles. You are living the life. Thanks for sharing.

what a deasent honest man you are Marty, god bless you

abandoned hut to summer home lol

Nice find there mate , useful little tender with a bit of attention and a tidy up. That little Suzuki outboard would probably stand a gudgeon pin and set of rings but as simple as they are, it most likely doesn’t need a lot and the bits are fairly easy to find. As to the ownership of the vessel, I imagine the insurance company wouldn’t want to spend anymore time and money retrieving it but to head off any legal issues it would be best to inform them and let them clear it. It owes you very little to date but it’d be a shame to Chuck a few quid at it and have some junior arsehole from an insurance company smugly claim it back. Idyllic is the word that springs to mind looking at that beautiful piece of water. With the sun out and a hook in the water you’d be hard pressed to find better anywhere! Those mussels look fantastic, bet they’re great steamed with a little herbs and butter, nice fresh bread and a glass of your favourite cool beverage and bugger! What more could a bloke need ? Sod the rest of the world, let em do without you for an hour or two eh ?

Marty you amaze me with your ability to fix things

Always something interesting. Great vid.

I’ve seen people coat the inside with some truck bedliner to help with some of those leaks. I’ve seen mixed results, but I think that comes down the level of prep work to make it stick. The bedliner is usually some pretty tough stuff. Great score and a very cool little boat! I would almost thing for some slow trolling and checking for mussels and traps the back troll outboard may be better than front controls.

theres thousands of huts like that around nz its cool to find them.

Look forward to seeing you make a new steering wheel. Glad there were no dead bodies in the boat or cabin. Thanks for the fun. 🤠

Found the channel via drum energy. Then watched excavator and dozer vids. Highly entertaining and patient, honest narration. Winning combination. Look forward to other videos. 👍 The abandoned hut is another lake home for ya. 👍

Little boat: Think I'll wait in this sheltered bit for someone to rescue me. Marty T: Well hello there little boat. Little Boat: Yeaaaaa it's Marty T from KZfaq, I'm saved!! Seriously though, don't go to that cabin again.

(On dry land) Would turning the boat upside down on wood work stands (to protect the windshield), placing a strong light in it (at night), and looking for light peaking out from the bottom (which is now the top) work in spotting the leaks? Got to give the boat a name. i.e. Silver Minnow

Nice score Marty, well done mate. Seeya Rob

Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing
