Wow, thank you all so much for your lovely comments about Nessie!
-
This is my cousin’s creation! He is an absolute genius and the whole world needs to wave to this boat on the waters! It’s absolutely beautiful. Love you cuzzy xxx ❤
-
David, in an increasingly mad and somewhat depressing modern world, your content is a welcome relief. Thank you
-
So proud of our so Talented son...He has been making and fixing things since he was about 9 yrs old ..always wanting to know how everything worked. . He has recently lost his Dad who would have been bursting at the seams with Pride ...love you, Jonathan. Carry on with your Dreams ❤❤❤❤xxxx

He did one hell of a job turning a derelict vessel into a fine piece of unique art!👏👏👏👏👏
-
We're gonna get a video of Twiggy like this one day, with people being amazed at the transformation :)
-
I feel like I need to see a timelapse or something just to prove that this is the same boat. The work Jonny and Denis put into this is simply incredible. Looks completely different!
-
That gentleman did a great job restoring that old hull into a beautiful finished boat. That definitely took some talent and lots of time.
-
So proud of my Brother Jonny, he's the most clever and talented person. I can vouch for this being the same boat and got plenty of updates as he went along, he's obsessed lol. I've even had a ride in it with my girlfriend and kids and it's so relaxing on the canal. I could tell you about some of his other inventions in the past but that would probably be another video! Well done Bro love ya x

"It looks for all the world as if it's a steam launch...." Then a jet flies over making it sound like it is jet powered. Hilarious edit there David, hilarious!
-
I am most impressed, and can only say one thing :"LOVELY !"
-
Super proud of my brother he's a genius x
-
I didn't think I'd ever see a motorised boat that makes a regular narrowboat look like a behemoth. 😁 I really do love the wood and brass aesthetic, it's classic beauty and no mistake.
-
The fake steam is a great idea! What a superb little boat.
-
From derelict to beauty, Jonny should be proud of Nessie
-
As pointed out in the video, the handrails are a brilliant touch. As I imagine maneuvering oneself about the boat while on the water, those handrails are vital. Just reinforces what a perfectionist the owner/builder is!
-
Craftsmanship! Thank you for a delightful 17 minutes sir.
-
Yay, collaborations, yay tiny boats… great to see!
-
Nessie is a fine craft! Thanks for showing her off to us.
-
What a perfect example of a labor of love.
