38:51 the dog with his arm cocked over the side is priceless. Best part of this video.
Yeah, I agree, that was one cool dog. BTW, what did he do with the dog. The last I see it is at 39:35. I hope he didn't fall overboard! Or left on the island! Heeeeeessuuuucchhhhaagoooooodbooooy.
LMAO: 'So I went to get a trailer, but they come with jet skis, so now I have more jet skis. Now I need another trailer...'
"now i have 8 wave runners, i should probably stop looking at market place."
Just when I think I can't love Levi anymore, he goes and rides a jet ski. I love that dog
you pulling up the new trailer with 2 more wave runners killed me lmao
I laughed way harder than I should at that part when he said it was cheaper to get a trailer with Waverunners included. I hadn't realized those weren't the same ones he was working on since I was checking out the trailer.
Well Andrew, you've certainly got skills. I admire how you figure things out, beginning with "let's see what's happening here". Then you go about problem solving with skills rare in a young man. I am not wrapped up in jet ski's, just admire good mechanicing and problem solving, making treasure out of someones old trash. I am now a follower. Many thanks.
This was one of the first videos I found of yours a couple years ago and now I came back to re-live the “first-time feelings”, happy to see Levi will always live on in your videos. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO ANDREW!!!
Ok Levi is livin' life, snowmobilin' in the winter and surfin' in the summer !
Cruising in the back of the UTV on the mud trails.. Boating on the lake..
He's living the dream.
I have yet to go through all his videos but I can only imagine he has a fleet of $50 snowmobiles as well.
Levi has to be one of the best dogs I’ve ever seen! The amount of trust he has in you is rare, and pretty special
@John Smith Lol, my dad had a cat that used to sit in front of him on his motorbike. This was back in the day though, 60s.
The guy legit has a container Fortress another boss move
Andrew is a life lesson for us all. That is 'nothing is irredeemable'! With the right tools, the right work space and a 'can do' attitude anything is possible. I am subscribed to Andrew's channel and through watching many of them I have lot a little about engineering, metalwork, carpentry, etc., but, and more importantly, a LOT about one's attitude to life. Thank you Andrew.
Glad the washer trick worked for ya. Definitely a lifesaver
If that was you that gave the washer tip to Andrew - Ima thinking you 've helped a LOT more guys ( including me !! ) than just him - Thanks ,bro
not sure if I was the only one but a bud showed that to me years ago, really great trick
@@soratorus9649
great tip. always just welded a nut onto the broken stud. this looks much easier.
Fabulous!
I love the way Levi sits on the running board looking real cool!
@Andrew - I really like how you don't get frustrated and don't curse. You just work and fix things. You are very motivated and an inspiration to others. Keep it up
For some reason YTube kept popping up these Jetski videos on my recommended videos list. Finally, one day when nothing much else was going on, I broke down and watched them. Months later, I have completely lost track of how many of Andrew's videos I have watched. I have even come back to re-watch the Jetski videos again because they are so great. Fantastic work Andrew.
Wow! Welding a washer first to remove a broken bolt...brilliant! I always find a nugget in Andrews videos. Thanks
This is the future. Watching someone else do work on TH-cam and feeling like I'm more accomplished at the end.
Turd Ferguson and maybe one day soon we can all get paid to sit at home all day and watch Andrew work...
poisonousnut and realize how empty and unfullfillfull your life has been because you have done nothing and silenced your own internal cries to action by watching somebody else do something...
This dog chilling on the side with his elbow sticking out just made me subscribe. Nice to see a NYer!
That moment...when you say to your friends, Let’s go jet skiing! They reply, Sure but we don’t have jet skis...
And you come back with, Its ok, I’ve got 8 of them....
and Levi is the coolest dog,
Towing the jet ski upside down in the water...Andrew says "That's going to be hard to start"...lol.
I am just jealous at how long his batteries hold charge. He just keeps on cranking that bad boy over and over!!
what about all that oil and gasoline draining into the lake... hmm that must be cool !
"So now I have 8 waverunners, so I should probably stop looking at marketplace" shit had me crying
Thank you, Andrew, for the spectacular view of Bannerman's Island. I rarely leave a comment, but since I'll never get to see this in person and had no idea it existed, I felt a Thanks was in order.
Dude, you're a badass. I'm so impressed with your overall knowledge and skill fixing things. Well done. And you have a cool crew to share all this fun stuff with. Thanks for the videos.
This is hands down my favorite channel by far, could watch you fix stuff all day!👍
Man im very mechanically inclined but im the same way, i coukd watch this shit all day
Me too on watching the fixing stuff,love it even though I'm a girl👍😆😊...
This is the content I dream of. I bought this. I fixed this and I’ll show you it runs in the same video.
But how else do you make a ton of content in a super lazy fashion to beg for money on patreon?
I applaud him for this. Doing that has to be incredibly hard. Trying to keep 5 different videos you're bouncing between organized footage wise, and remembering what you have and haven't covered. and filming for weeks before making a video. but the end result is so much better. I just wish he put ad breaks in his videos. He deserves the ad rev.
Also all the time spent setting up the camera and getting shots while working, driving, etc That's tough because the camera runs for 30 minutes for a minute of used footage. and it's hard when you're in the middle of something to stop, and re-position the camera.
I cant wait for my shop to be built. Prior to buying my house I've always been limited to working around everyone else situation. Now that I got my own place 3 months I can finally build and have my own shop where I can tinker and build things. I already acquired a free riding lawn mower that needed a new carb and a steering gear and it's fixed. Then my Dad asked if I wanted his old jet ski that doesn't run. I'm going to go pick up the Jet ski this weekend. So much fun having your own place to acquire stuff to fix!!
Yeah very simple humble man love the container castle watched all the videos on that my dream have a castle like that 🔥
This is by far one of the best channels on youtube, instead of posting 4 different videos on this one project you posted one video finishing it all, your not about the TH-cam ad revenue, I appreciate that.
Luke Addens thanks for reminding me I just wasted one hour on youtube! Didnt notice until I saw your comment and then looked at how long the video is.
@@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions you can watch him on 2X and save some time. He talks so slow that 2X is perfect.
You are correct verses all that negative shit on tv this is real life content
levi on a jetski my day is complete
One thing that brings me back is your level of pride you take in everything you do.
my anxiety was running wild when you lifted that second one off the trailer lol .. keep up the awesome work!!
> has 8 wave riders
> regrets not buying two more
I love this channel
LOL we all know that sumbich is gonna be in the Hudson before too long ! Buys it for $25, spends $1000 to get it running, worth it to get another girl out there in the sun !!
The one nice thing about Camarata's channel. ....... he never pushes for a subscribe or a like it's just good watching.
Likes not pay anything to the creator like they did years go, Andrew could make a mint with a Patreon Account but he said that makes him feel cheap. He could have added ads but it seems like money that could be made through ads is not something that interests him. I wish more creators were like Andrew.
Just straight up interesting/satisfying content without the constant pushing for likes or subs, can't get better.
I found your channel by accident and I love everything you do man ! Few and far between are there people like you
I wanted to take a minute to say that your video on jet ski engine repair was SPECTACULAR! A+ to you. You did it to where it to where ALL of us out here learned it the easy way. I'm hella confident that I to can fix a jet ski up . A+ brother...Thanks
I love how Andrew films these videos. I love watching these and listening to him talk about what he’s doing and what he thinks.
Very impressive broken bolt removal. Very interesting repairs. Great water scenery. Your dog is living proof that Labs love the water.
A mr fix it and one of the best video makers on TH-cam. This man has talent beyond fantastic. Thanks Andrew I am sure everyone feels the same about you. More please.
dude this man is a legend, has awesome skills, great camera work and editing skills, oh and a smart dog :)
Dude,,,I'm addicted to your videos,,,bad ass, love the that fact that you buy broken and fix them your self,,,your freaking awesome.
Totally admire your ingenuity and determination! I hate waverunners but watched the whole video. Know the guy from Sulphur Springs TX who invented JB weld who was a lot like you. Sad thing he sold his whole company for $10k to Bonner Wholesale and now it’s worth a billion. Have bought hundreds of tubes over the last 60 years, some for 99 cents with the label held on with a rubber band. Most guys your age can’t fix anything. You’re a rare breed!
Levi, officially the coolest dog on TH-cam
Yes! Watch his real foreman appearance while supervising the unloading in the beginning and the elbow-out-pose in the first ride!
That is one cool dog for sure!
:-D
Went to go get a trailer came back with two more jet ski's. Now i have eight. HAHAHAH HAHAHAH HAHAHAH, your freaking hilarious best vid of the day.
Totally love this stuff, i wish i had this much space to do all of these custom projects. I love the pics with the crew out there having a great time on the water :) Great job and nice to see the progress of it.
I live in Norway. These vids make me wanna come to upstate NY for a wave runner vacation.
An hour an 4 minutes... Oh this is gonna be good. Need to grab my beer.
4 years later ......
Hey man, I will do desame😀👍
Greetings from Sweden❤
I noticed you always have help with fun but are alone when working on them! Good work....Jay
First time watching and I am enjoying myself. Then you got the dog on the Jet ski and I love it.
I'm sorry to write more than 1 comment but DUDE!!!! Your teachings have helped a few of my friends to where we are going to start buying some ones that are in good shape but need engine repair. Thanks again....
Thanks for showing Bannerman Castle. Your part of the country is all new to me, but I turned down an offer from IBM to work in East Fishkill 50 years ago.
Lol Jetski addiction 🤙 Next up 6 Jetski trailer build and start of new rental business
lots of problems there with : public liability insurance, licensing regulations, you get the idea!
Harley04 yeah, but what does he need 8 jetskis for?
He should sell them for a profit bexause they will die from lack of use
@@rronaldreagan Obviously, that's an option, but he has a lot of friends it seems. He should build container cabins, have summer guests, hire an assistant to handle the daily tours and entertainment!
The paperwork and insurance isn't that big of a deal. Keeping older Waverunners up and running would be the real job.
The dog just chillin was the best! Haha awesome!
Always wanted to spent quality time..this channel gave me this opportunity
😂 @ Levi riding with you on the waverunner! I have seen it all now! Levi is fearless! I love him!
Really enjoyed this...very calming! I like how you deal with adversity. The Lab is so cool!
first time i ever saw a dog on a seadoo. you work like a beaver and deserve every moment
I love watching you bring dead machines back from the grave, you are the greatest in my book. Stay safe and stay awesome! Levi seemed to be favoring one of his legs in your intro, I hope and pray he is okay! Probably arthritis and he needs a good warm hot tub.
goin out for milk... comes home with 3 wave runners. Bannerman's castle must have been something to behold 100 years ago
Yes I'm sure it was. Pollepei Island was bought by Bannerman in 1900 and construction of his military surplus storage facility began in 1901 and was halted in 1918 after he died. In 1920 200 pounds of gunpowder stored in a nearby building exploded. On August 8, 1968 the main building caught fire after many decades of vandalism and neglect. In December of 2009 40% of the front wall and half of the east wall collapsed. It is currently owned by the state and managed by the Bannerman Castle Trust. They conduct hard hat tours for visitors.
I saw this old Waverunner posted for sale and looked it up to find more about it and that's how I found your video Andrew. Now I'm definitely interested in getting that old jet ski. You videos are very informative and I'll be watching more of them.
Great video! I didn't know much about Waverunners an hour ago and probably still don't but thoroughly enjoyed watching you bring yours back from the dead. The Hudson shots were really beautiful. Oh, and your dog hangin' on was priceless!
Great work.... best entertainment TH-cam channel for me
I love how your videos always have one very happy dog in them.....
You're not only good at what you do, but you're good at videoing it in such a way that it looks interesting to non-experts and you move quickly enough to avoid boredom without our missing the important parts.
It took me a minute to figure it out..the building looked like a castle..and then I realized there's 5 shipping containers in the one building!! I like your style. How you fix stuff, your not afraid of anything, you don't freak out when you realize the engine is shot or something, you and I are cut from the same cloth. Keep up the great work. And thank you so much for taking the time to create, edit and post your content..it's very time consuming.
Ok, dude. You have got the coolest damn dog in the world!
Loving the Retro jets the hole mix the old school wave runner👍🏼👍🏼 looks like a gang of cartels Pablo Escobar 🤣🤣🤣
So watching Andrew takes care of a boring weekend and its like a commercial for repairing waverunners and other tidbits, thanks Andrew for the information from your vast knowledge of repairing used equipment.
That's an attitude with a skill to back it up! Great video too - obviously Andrew is a guy of many talents.
Awesome video Andrew, thanks for taking us along..love the length of these videos!!
I watch a fair amount of Tube, and this one of the most honestly produced. And so well edited. Just all around really great.
Well Andrew you continue to inspire me. I tooWAS in the bizz, and watching you work is making me wanna get back into it.
You are one hell of a mechanic like your videos thanks
Awww come on it was just about to go to sleep but now I'm obligated to watch this
I had driven home from London, 2 hrs 40 minutes no stopping. It was near midnight, but i thiught I'd have a 'quick' look and see what was happening. Next thing i knew it was 01:40am. Where did the time go? 😂
250K sub celebration, give away 5 wave runners, don't worry, you'll have 50 by then lol!
@John Doe You kidding me? He'll build a shelf storage skyscraper before that happens.
@John Doe He uses them though, looks like he invites all his friends along
Ole Levi goes and does everything, love seeing him. You collect wave runners like i do cars lol
That's so cool that you can buy these machines and fix them up and share them will your friends. Loved the drone footage of the old arsenal.
A haiku for Andrew and Levi
Many waverunners
Andrew is addicted bad
Levi does not care
Waverunner III! The best. Take good care of her. 24 years of ownership and still going for mine.
I love your channel!!! I was born in Poughkeepsie, New York. Watching this video brought back many memories of the days my Dad and I went canoeing. We Went canoeing by
The lighthouse . It’s been over 30 years since I was up there. Andrew you are a Great worker
And you enjoy your time at the castle.
Wow you must be a super skilled mechanic 👍 and you got the sweetest shop
You need sponsored. Love your vids. One of the best on TH-cam and THE best at camera work. Well done sir.
Levi really loves the water 💦 thanks again for sharing part of your awesome life Andrew, ✌️
I love how this guy keeps his cool. I wish I had that patience haha
Alright, I have been watching your videos on and off now long enough to become compelled to comment. I don’t know if you will ever see this, but I want you to know that I am emotionally triggered by the genius of your choices to work hard and make wise decisions. Why? I was like you at age 18 and by 22 had a wife and kids, new home and plenty of toys. Since life has seasons, a divorce and mental illness has become an unwelcome gift now for about 10 years. I weep with sadness and joy to watch your amazing accomplishments. I’m writing to say this: Amongst all the great things in life you enjoy, always cherish your healthy mind as the greatest thing God gave you. Thanks so very much for sharing your life with us all. I deeply admire and pray for your continued journeys to be better every day. Your a good man. John Olsen
West Palm Beach FL
Going to be a good day Andrew uploaded a long video. I know what I am doing for the next hour. Videos are top notch 👍🏼
So Andrew figures he’ll test his wave runner by going all the way down the Hudson, across the Atlantic and while he’s in London, he fixes their Brexit problem. On to the next job...great video my friend.
Matt
Super fun and interesting. Well done Andrew - Much appreciated from the UK.
Andrew .... you are UNSTOPPABLE !!! No matter what your content, you always amaze me with your tenacity and just good ol' down home common sense. Please keep up the great videos and we'll keep watching !!! :)
Andrew, your production, post production/editing values are amazing, keep up the great work. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
Levi looked like he was thoroughly enjoying the ride along!
Always good to see Andrew and friends having fun.
One man’s trash is another’s treasure! Understanding how a motor works and having the know how to fix it,,opens up so many doors for ppl. Things you might not be able to afford, become possibilities, when an owner sees whatever’s broken down as being nothing more than a useless paperweight!
I love how you take your dog everywhere you go, from jobsites to the water. Truly mans best friend.
Just got done with my 4th wave runner rebuild. I Learned almost everything from you !
That needs to be restored! I am glad an attempt to bolster the structure has been made. I Love NY!!
39:21 that's a badass dog right there!
Levi is too cool!
Retrievers love water. Doggie should have life vest tho. You can buy them for dogs.
Oh yea
Like a boss
Had me dying 😂😂
