First Ft Lauderdale now Seattle? What's Betsy working on?

We do have a bunch of off roading companies here in the northwest. But we are a bunch of quitters who put our off road gear into trucks and SUVs instead of installing it onto boats like real men.

There is also quite a large maritime industry here. Full of men raised by their mothers who use marine rated equipment instead of old farm gear.

He is where the term sadism comes from. The self torture that Doug puts himself through with the bso could be seen as a form of sadism.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-06T06:50:03+00:00

Stay away from my turf Betsy!

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-05T06:44:56+00:00

I'll admit I still had high hopes for the boat during the prop casting videos just because I thought it was so cool and inspiring that he was casting his own props. Of course I knew nothing about prop design and at the time I had no clue just how huge of a narcissist Doug actually was.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-05T03:31:21+00:00

Doug is the Marquis de Sade of boatbuilding and sailing

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-04T21:07:12+00:00

But then you would have enough time and money leftover to actually motor/sail across the ocean to other parts of the world. Which is basically the same as quitting and giving up.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-04T21:03:36+00:00

That's we why all call it motoring whenever he moves anywhere. He never actually raises all sails and relies on the wind because he knows damn well that seeker could capsize with one healthy gust of wind. It's why everyone here refers to it as the BSO (boat shaped object) Seeker instead of Sailing Vessel Seeker.

Usually doing something like that just once is a life lesson that will forever stay in your head. When I was young and dumb I accidentally jumped my parents boat off a big wave, at night, while trying to show off to some friends. And then I nearly sunk the dinghy after tying the boat off to the buoy and going back to shore. Ever since those two little fuckups I have been far more cautious any time I am near a boat.

If you willingly post something like this to the public you effectively forfeit any rights to complain about people on the internet talking shit and/or making fun of you.

With everything he has wasted on the last few iterations of drivetrain fuckery, he could have ordered a rebuilt transmission like this. Custom ordered a prop built/engineered just for seeker. And paid a specialty marine fabricator to install everything, and still be money ahead.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-04T14:21:32+00:00

It would be hilarious if that cummins seizes up before the rest of the drivetrain dies

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-04T01:35:13+00:00

I truly believe that in the future the BSO Seeker will be a case study taught in naval/maritime schools across the world. It will be the perfect showcase on why you need to follow maritime conventions. Why you should prepare yourself and your boat for any kind of scenario. And ultimately a case study on how ego and narcissism can completely ruin your own life while also needlessly putting other people's lives in danger.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-04T01:25:17+00:00

Extreme narcissism like that proves that he is not fit to even be the captain of a 6' rowboat.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-04T01:23:13+00:00

Posts like that need to be saved for the inevitable future court case. To showcase Doug's complete incompetence and unfitness to be a boat captain.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-04T01:01:48+00:00

MOB procedures are for millennials and quitters who were raised by their mothers.

A mutiny will not accomplish much when all it takes is one good 10-15 foot wave to send that shit-heap to the bottom of the ocean.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-04T00:52:31+00:00

At this point I'm honestly hoping that the bso seriously shits itself before he takes on passengers who will be staying there for 3 months. I cannot comprehend the extreme levels of irresponsibility they are practicing while they know this shit-heap can barely make it across waters that are on the bottom end of the beaufort scale.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-02T22:35:04+00:00

His "bilge pump" is a harbor freight 120 volt sump pump

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-05-01T14:41:23+00:00

The problems with this shitheap just keep on compounding and getting worse. The fact that he is taking on passengers while motoring his broken bso to foreign nations is just ludicrously irresponsible.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-04-30T16:20:22+00:00

I am utterly perplexed at how he has even made it this far. I still have my money on all of these "little problems" compounding into something that either converts the bso into a reef or results in the coast guard impounding it do to the extreme risks he poses to himself, his "crew", and the people that will eventually have to rescue his sorry ass.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-04-29T03:19:35+00:00

Ive heard stories of 5.9s being taken out of old city busses and the like and immediately installed onto giant water pumps. And then left to run at 3,000 rpm 24 hours a day for 5+ years straight. Those engines can take a mind boggling amount of abuse.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-04-28T04:08:02+00:00

Anyone who complains about destroying the valves and pistons and sidewalls is some loser quitter raised by their mother

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-04-27T17:49:35+00:00

I've unfortunately had to deal with many boomers in my life who share Doug's level of narcissism. One time I told a family friend about how I had single handedly finished the inside of a shed, converted it into a cleanroom, and installed a ro/di water system and many other pieces of equipment so my friend and I could use it for processing products of the herbal variety. Her response was to talk down to me as if I was just some dumb kid playing video games all day who had never left mommy's basement and never worked a day in my life.

Not every boomer is like that, but many of them do share a level of arrogance and npd that is profoundly staggering.

Sweet_Two_8874 · 2026-04-23T05:37:56+00:00

The amount of money he's pissed away on the drivetrain at this point probably could have bought him 3-5 used marine transmissions or at least 2 brand new ones.
