349. The back of my boat is rotten so I ripped it out 😱

Ignoring, for the moment, the vast gashes I have carved into the back of the boat which will need fixing later, in this episode I tear into the transom and start removing the - extremely soggy - wooden core.

Chit-chat all you want, David. In large part, that’s why I started watching this channel originally.

[MrTommyboy]

surprised at how soggy all that wood was! chit-chat all you want, enjoy it! it's like talking to a friend while working on something

[brianscoffield]

There are few greater pleasures in life than watching, from a safe distance, the troubles of others. Thanks for the vids. Been following you for years. Good luck. I'm old enough to remember what fiddling around with Twiggy's bottom might once have meant.

You can never make every body happy …… keep doing what your doing and smile .

[PeterBlackwood]

As a youtube vlogger myself, I appreciate your chit-chat ability. Keeping the flow going is a rare skill. Anyone coming late to your channel may wonder why it is called 'Cruising the Cut' and not' Cutting the Cruise' 😉

[Neil-Hanson]

Is it just me or do others love the little guitar intro at the start of all Dave's videos?.

[carlrehnberg]

Thank you David for the latest instalment of CuttingTheButt.
Please continue waffling along, I love the talk part, just continue being you.
Looking forward to the next part.

Whenever someone someone says you talk too much, I shake my head in disbelief. Keep up the good work, chit-chat and all.

[piggerald]

Cruising the CUT is taking on a completely different meaning!

[kentesdall]

As a matter of fact I like your running commentary as you work away at this project. Don't listen to the negative peoples comments.

[ExperienceGrind]

I like a good David rabbiting video! I learn so much through you, don't get discouraged!

[stigg]

Love your chit chat as that explains some of the work you are doing? Keep on doing what your doing and stay well.

[macmcelroy]

i gotta hand it to you David you're not one to back down from a challenge, all the while keeping a great attitude

[nyotamwuaji]

I actually dont mind you chatting Dave. its much nicer than some people who just....dont and expect you to just get everything they are doing.

[judymurphy]

David, we love your chit chat. I'm not even a sailor!!! But just love your videos. We could watch you for hours tinkering away. Your videos are so relaxing from our point !!! Regards from New Zealand.

[stevejava]

Personaly I enjoy your wit and humor. So chat as long as you like.

[hughgolding]

To be quite honest the cheese sandwich is the highlight of any video regardless of chit chat.

[robfowler]

I like the chit-chat, the boat stuff is interesting but definitely keep on chitchatting 👍

[acerone]

YOU are the reason I watch your channel. Great job, David.

[henrywight]

On the contrary, I watch your videos for many reasons. Not the least of which is listening to you talk. I do so enjoy your commentary.
