Okay only one other person asked this - what’s up with the blur? Greetings from Wilmington North Carolina.

free boats --- the most expensive thing ever

you mother needs a "qoute" of the week or her "insite for the day".. because shes an absolutePEACH !

Whats with the foggy faces....are you a criminal!!! No sub here!

UPDATE 4: I received a notification today that Newport shipped a new motor and refunded the shipping costs for the parts that didn't arrive on time. Expect warranty claims to last 1-2 months before resolved. UPDATE3: A month later, the company still refuses to respond. I filed a claim through BB and this is the response I received from BBB: "Regretfully we must inform you that our numerous correspondences made on your behalf to Newport Vessels have gone unanswered and we have closed your complaint as No Response.". If you buy anything from them, just know what you are signing up for. UPDATE 2: I filled a warranty claim and the company is not responding on any channel: live chat, email, or phone. First UPDATE: still one star, but I could go for 0. I went fishing for the first time. Freshwater. Motor started acting up after 2 hrs. It was full of water. The seal between the magnet housing and the brushes housing was faulty. Customer service couldn't find the part. That seal actually does not exist on the diagram! I found it randomly by googling it, because you can't find it by motor type on their website, as weird as it sounds. I ordered the part, paid $30 for 2 day shipping, it arrived in 3 days, I asked for the difference in shipping because it didn't arrive on time, and since then the company refuses to respond to me. Guys, trust me on this: don't do business with this company. You may be lucky, or you may regret it like me. Original review: Got this to replace a 40lb Minn Kota. I have another Newport 62lb that behaves well so far in saltwater. So I decided to get another one, 55lb, for use in fresh water. - Out of the box the reverse is making rattling noises like the wheel of fortune. Sounded like something loose, maybe a screw of the plate or a brush. Anyway, too risky to go out with it like this. Could have been armature rubbing on a wire and then you get smoke. - Sent a video to Customer Service, and the dialogue that followed was ridiculous. - First, they said it's normal. Nope. It's definitely not. After using, fixing, and servicing trolling motors for 20 years, I can say it's definitely not normal. - Then they said I shouldn't hear it when in water. Well, I'm not interested in hiding a problem, I'm more interested of not getting stranded 5 miles from the ramp. Not to mention the stealth part being gone for fishing. - Than he said he conferred with a colleague and the colleague said I shouldn't worry about it. Wow. That's definitely another level. What was offensive was how dismissive they were with this response. - Finally, they said they can't do anything unless I test it in water. My next fishing vacation is in about a month. And that's out of Amazon return window. - Anyway, I decided to open the motor and check. Indeed, one of the brushes was chewed unevenly. And that's on a motor that ran a total of 4 minutes in it's life. See pic. The problem is the manufacturing quality of the armature and lack of Quality Control. The posts of the armature are not sloped as they should and are unequal in height, and they hit the top of the brushes. - Definitely Minn Kota from now on. I never learn that saving $50 may result in a lot more trouble.

Nice guy to give you 30 days to pick it up. You took advantage of his kindness and took 60 days. If he didn't contact you the boat would still be there. What a creep. Day 31, no messages, I'd cut the lines

What’s up with blurry out your first mate? Witness protection?

Sorry. I unsubscribed. You said a third video was comming about the EV road trip. But you lied

The two happiest days of a sailors life, the day he bought his boat...and the day he sold it. These cats make good power boats, don't even bother with the thousands of dollars to make it sailable. Replace the outboards with a bigger better one. But this is years old now, so the new buyer has probably sold it already.

They still have to drive the orders to the the wing facility. :/

There's an Iroquios MkII for "best offer" at Green Turtle Bay Marina, Lake Barkley, KY. Has brand new Honda 15hp outboard and a mast with mast steps.

You should have tried to help shame on you!

I just bought the 62# Newport L Series. Anxious to see if it will move my 11'6" Zodiac Classic.

Have enjoyed your vids for several years I'm planning a trip on the inner coastal from Norfolk to Oriental could you recommend a book on docking along the way. Thanks

what about the rest of the Coda road trip videos?

Anything happening with this project?

Hows the Newport 55lb running?

General Motors EV1

LOL Stupid...

Don't you have a radio, why not contact someone to render aid before it could get worse? I don't get it, it's a sailboat, it's windy... duh?

Are there going to be new Coda episodes? Such an adventure!

From the reading I did, it's apperently based on the '97-01 Mirage's platform.

Amatuer motorboaters in a sailing yacht, out filming their latest episode of "Meet the Googansteins". 😂

lol to late now but you could have used and bit of PVC pipe over the handle

Ok, good to know that i dont have to help you if you are in trouble next to me.

What size motor do you use to push your catamaran? I I have a 78 Iroquois

Curious, won’t the food get cold on arrival?🤔🇬🇧

it should come with a long alummy stick, on which to hang sails. you know about that, right?

It should be illegal for drones to fly over private property. The days of privacy are long gone.

OK , have to ask, went through several videos and dont see it. Where did the girl go ?

“You don’t have to pay delivery fee and add a tip, which used to double the order” 🌚 man, I can tell you for sure those money doesn’t go to delivery person. With drones it will be cheaper for DoorDash, not for the DoorDash customers I can guarantee you.

Hi, just watched this, just wondered why your girlfriend is blurred out ?

This is so entertaining ....hilarious almost, and may I say I think your very brave or very stupid, or perhaps you've staged all this and really your an experianced sailor and all this is a clever way to get subscribers...if so its' worked I've just subscribed YE HAH :)

I'd be embarassed selling that boat did he give it to you for free? has it it got rudders any steering ?

great to see you back... one of the best channels in YT history !

I know I’m late to the party but it’s good to see a post from you and it looks like you’re healthy and doing well. Hope to see more videos from you soon either boat content or general travel content.

WooHoo good to see a post from you. what Happened to the Eletric car and what's going on with the boat.

If, by the end of the decade, you don't post the end of your EV trip. I will unsubscribe

Yeah, right, who cares. What about the electric car adventure? That's what we've all been waiting for these past FIVE MONTHS! Lol!

So you made it to VA with the electric car?

I saw a glitch in the matrix. 😂

Very cool, but when do we get the skinny on the rest of the cross-country trek in the 'lectric vehicle?

I have to wonder how long it will be before large birds of prey will figure out that there's a good chance for a hot meal whenever they hear a drone fly by!

In Australia Queenland Brisbane we don’t have Wendy in the shop . It only in a big van like the one at a carnival . 😢

First on thumbs up, first on comments,,, never first on race day ,,,,

What up my friend??? Where are you these days. Your videos are important, and we need an update...Please!!!

OK, how could you be into crab pots if you are following the channel?

Why is her face blurred out???

I hope you are ok . I bought a Nissan Leaf for £4000 last year with the idea of using the motor and the battery from the car. I now have a 40ft catamaran that needs completing and will be a solar boat, however it will use EPropulsion Navy 6 outboards so no need for the Nissan Leaf anymore.

Damn 2 days to go 275 miles. When I got my new job I went in one straight shot from where I live in Pennsylvania to Georgia, 820 miles. Only stopped for fuel once half way. Yeah the Prius was probably the right car to buy for the moment. Would love an Aptera when that comes out though.
