      I have 2 stokes the quiet only thing I have a problem with it when I was on the lake for a long time I switch to charge both batteries when I was coming in the charging system acted up band new batteries on board when we bought them we never paid what we were bought I took it in to see what it was wrong everything check out very well when I had switched to charge both batties the charging system shut down because it throws it was charging a 24 vote battery they put a larger battery to start the boat in the other battery does run the radio and the fish finders and trolling motor I do carry 2 more charged batties on board as well short time after I got the boat we got stuck comming off the lake in a lightning and thunderstorm it came from no way taken 4 hours getting back to the truck to load it up had a lighting strike hit in found were we were going it blow a fuse under the hood out we wear lucky we found a place that had a new one changed it out
      worked fine when back out when time to start the motor both batterys died the isolator failed it drained both batties
      it hard to start the motor with a rope we got it started luckily we are not that stupid to figure out how to start it easy with the rope when we go home the exit day the boat was in the shop to have it look at they found it and put a different type in the boat
      I had a awesome boss when I bought the boat somehow 4 from work had to go the mill to work we had to push in the morning then to put up the boats to go fishing for the day and got paid for it as well 10 of the fulltime know we were fishing the others never knew about it
      but I did put long days in when I worked I start work at 4 am someday stilled 9 pm to help out with loading trucks the bosses never complained about my hours worked the summer was awesome I had to show up to unload and reload the kiln with lumber then back to the lake to build the cabin Monday morning I push in and Friday night I push out I was warned to be on land by 8 am that when work, starts at the lake that when my boss gets up we go fishing for an hour, I start working and have breakfast short time after that we work to 6 and supper was done them we fish to dark have a camper I live in there
      if I had to start at 4 am I go home right after we eat was nice to have a hot shower then a cold bath in the lake supple we needed for the lake I would pick up at work too
      the year later I was going to my sister place she was transferred to New Brunswick plan 3 weeks of the holiday he has given my 6-week drive with my parents down their and back that was an awesome trap to be able to see Canada I worked harder after that too
      I never got paid overtime each hour I worked overtime I got 2 hours regular time and it was banked time for rainy days when the place sold out I had 252weeksk of pay I got paid out to me a short time after o move on was not the same place it was I still hard the hours but was not like it was like before we kept in touch with each other after the company was sold we still go fishing together still
      we now have a larger group to go fishing with we have now 3 boats to fish with we have it in for each boat I have put a pressure pump on mine now 200 feet I can get both boats soaked too the fish cop did not like it much when it was turned on. on them selfs they wanted to check the boat for fish they hit the switch the pumped the water and soaked them self never had on on board after that they did find as in the campgrounds they ask as to join them for the night that got the ground talking when we had to leave with then
      had an awesome time there one of the officers was a friend with one of us

    Awesome restoration and didn't cost an arm and a leg either. Nice move tearing the fuzzy carpet off the cabin walls. It looks so much better with a coat of paint in there. Nice choice using rustoleum instead of some hundred dollar a quart boat paint. The money spent on the upholstery was very well spent.

With some pictures of your fish you ketch.& etc. Like deck party pics. It needs A mini fridgerator like in hotel rooms.& in motor homes.,or RV'S have in them. I'll give you A thumbs ☝ now to. Good job on it so far guys. Add to the appearance more decore with change it up more.& modernize it to up to date features aswell. Like by adding in Some deck accessable USB plugin ports for phone charging.&etc. Like drones.& Bluetooth speakers also.& cigarette lighter plugins to. One of each to A it's own outlet area with covering seals to when not in use.

    This is the second restore, I've watched you do! Really Really good job dude! I am a sucker for restoration, instead of just throwing things away, because WE neglected them, and now they don't look worthy of being used! That goes for anything, from boats, to cars, houses, to high chairs! Great job, and keep it up! Enjoying these videos from Arkansas!

    I bought a 16 foot Arima that sat in the desert for 20 years! Luckily it was covered with a Sunbrella cover! It needed 2 new tires. The 60 hp outboard actually ran, roughly but ran. I was tired of playing with old motors so had a brand new 90hp 2 stroke installed along with a new steering system. I used it for 7 years and sold it last year. Of course I didn't make any money on it but had many fun fishing outings.

      That sound is from the exhaust, and they were loud, you should here one on a bass boat, and they are way faster on a bass boat!

    • @jbj27406
      @jbj27406 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I thought it sounded like the exhaust was not going through the prop like it's supposed to. I wonder if they got all the exhaust pipes and chambers going down the leg put back right.

    Did you rewire whole boat, pull fuel tank, check for rotted transom, stringers, change all hoses, hoses on old merc, trailer bearings, bolts and lights, surely the deck was weak, changed all pumps, and why spend $ on stupid bling?

    I don't understand how the transom isn't rotten. Every old boat I look at in FL that's been sitting outside will have a ton of flex in the transom when pushing down on the lower unit of the motor.

    • @saxrulez
      @saxrulez 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This boat is rotten to the core. Guarantee it. That transom will be covered in cracks after using it like that.
      To those watching these, the cosmetics are the easy fixes. This hull/transom is completely rotten inside and would be super dangerous to be on.

  • @zuzuanddee
    @zuzuanddee 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good job as usual but i’m impressed how you trust an engine you don’t know on the water. I have a ‘’new’’ yamaha 4 stroke with 100 hrs on it never gave me trouble and I don’t trust it. So i have a spare kicker and there you go with a dinosaur age engine without a care.

    • @alannapartin336

    I love the sound of the old 2 strokes you just don't hear that sound out on the water anymore. They are really bullet proof just doing a sink and link and standard maintenance will keep them going forever. Great job on the boat guys keep up the great content. Just got a Sub hopefully you already have sold it and are trying to find the next one.

    You've just motivated me to save my boat. It's been "sitting for a while". Maybe I'll just post something about it.If you plan on keeping this boat, consider putting solar panels on the T top. It'll keep your batteries fresh and help with all that cool lighting.

    Upholstery doesn't look right though. There shouldn't be gaps between the cushions. Should be square shaped cushions not tapered round like yours. Not that it really matters for $150 that's a good deal.

  • @scroungasworkshop4663

    You know, I see it over and over, someone goes out and spends big bucks on their latest toy be it boat, car, caravan or whatever and they show it off to everyone and wash it every weekend. Then after a while they get bored with it so they stop cleaning it, then they stop maintaining it and finally they stop caring about it and they just want it gone usually at fraction of the thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars they paid for it. How often do you see a very expensive car with the wheels thick with brake dust and looking like it’s never been washed and scratches in the paint from just plain carelessness. I just can’t understand that sort of mentality but those sort of people certainly help keep the economy ticking along while they are racking up more debt to buy their next expensive toy. Thankfully there people like you, me and the others watching this video that are happy to take their slops and turn them back into gems for their own use or to sell, hopefully at a profit.
    Well that’s the end of my rant. Cheers guys and keep up the great work. Stuart 🇦🇺
