Chris, if you read this, Good Luck to you, we’ll miss your humor..Hope we see you again. And Doug you can look forward to that Happy Day when you say Sold It!
Doug's story telling is one of the main reasons I watch. If the outboard has a vibration next year, remind him about the dial indicator! "It's OK" he says after a visual inspection, lol.
Dougo is an absolute Hoot !!! He makes my day with his sense of humor!! Told Chet Keep your scab picking fingers off my speakers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m crying Great video as always Chet !!! Will be lookin forward to the next one 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
I really appreciate how your farm cleans and maintains your equipment! Getting a machine good and clean before starting the maintenance really helps in spotting future problems. Hoses chafing, belts wearing inappropriately,welds starting to fail, seals leaking, and on and on! Catching problems now helps to keep your equipment in the field when you really need it. Keep up the great work and keep posting your wonderful content!
Dougo is a natural he has the best sense of humor. I think him and you all for always getting laughter when Doug is around. Love Amy Larson channel to get even more laughs from Doug! 😂❤
It's 1:30 in the morning and I was feeling down about my wife passing away, and I viewed your post and I laughed so hard to hear Doug tell about his "new and improved" wonderful props. Thank you so much for your posts and the "fun" you have working so hard. I grew up on a small dairy farm in a small town of Silverton Oregon. Please don't stop posting...I look forward to your posts. BB (Be Blessed)
Sorry for your loss. I had to check your name and see if it was my father-in-law who just lost his wife seven weeks ago. Since he’s a retired Black dirt Central Illinois farmer, it’s very suspect the amount of widows that within 24 hours started, expressing their condolences. His daughters are a little irritated.😅
Doug is the best Storyteller I've heard of in a while I can't help but laugh after you said that woodpecker speaker😂 great video chat take care God bless
Let's start a GoFund Me for Chris to come back!!!! What is it gonna take!!?? Just as he started getting more comfortable with the shenanigans he up and left. 😢😢😢😢😢
Sad to hear Chris isnt coming back! He was fun to watch on the channel. "Mom loves the boat." You can see Dougo's mind thinking if he should say what he is really thinking. haha
Hey Chet, Doug is so correct I live in Florida on the Gulf with a boat, yes bring steak, beer, gas it got so crazy I was going broke with repairs as well as maintenance. A reminder B O A T (Bring on another thousand). I gave up with so many requests every few day I sold the boat. I thought it was over when I sold the motor home. They keep calling and asking now it’s the weekend pool party. God give those with lots of toys strength.
I was watching when Chet and Brody were cleaning the chemical trailer. Chet talked about getting the swags out of the line under the trailer.my suggestion is, use a split pvc pipe a half inch or one inch larger than the line , length of the trailer and mount it so you can tip either way or, just mount the line in a pipe ❤
Chris I really enjoyed you reaction severity meter when chet use to say things like "that's not the worst I've seen" then Chris's face reaction "WTF that is terrible, but that isn't the worst...."all in just an expression
Thanks for another great video Chet. It most certainly was interesting. Oh my, another boat story by Dougo. Most entertaining stories are about the boat. Now the props on the motor are bent. That will be an expensive fix I bet. Hang on Dougo. Like to hear your boat stories Dougo. Oh my, hang in there. We will be ready for the next one. I know how you feel Dougo. I had a race car for a short time. It was terrifying expensive just keeping it going. The bent up parts just killed you. Loved the day it got sold. No more headaches. Bye. Really am sorry to see that Chris has left. He was a great addition to the Larson team. Super nice guy. Understand he had other things to do but sorry he left. Thanks Chris for all you did for the Larson family. Take care and my best wishes to you always. I see the purple truck had an engine overhaul. Should be a good runner now. Thanks for everything Chet. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Being the same age as Dougo, I really like his stories. I still would love to hear a chronology of the equipment over the years. I found it very interesting that not all that long ago (in my mind LOL!) the farm used, what? two JD 55s and a 4400 ? At least I think that's what he said once. I think he said they once planted 500+ acres once in day with a 12-row planter. Pretty cool stuff!
My friends with a boat were the same way. The first year they got it they put 40 hours on it. The second year 16 hours, the third year 4 hours then it sat in the building for 2 years never used. They bought a bigger boat that they could sleep on and planned to go on long trips. They had to rent dock space on the Mississippi River 30 minutes away. When they found out how much fuel it used they decided not to make any long trips. They had to pay to have it lifted out and stored every year. They used it for two summers then sold it.
Bought a new ranger bass boat. Hit a stump in the first hour. Bent the output shaft and destroyed the gears in the lower unit. Just over 1 hour and $5500 dollars in damage
worked as a outboard lower unit mechanic for some years…. if your prop hit something, sheared a pin, odds are your lower unit gears are damaged or the prop shaft is bent….
Sure enjoyed Chris pretty witty and a hard worker. If we see him on Cole the Cornstar that would be interesting. Chet looks like he's made it through the holidays and wedding highlights show. Again condolences to Brody on the passing of his grandfather.
I fixed boat props for 27 years, I was certified with the NMPA, these are the prop shops you're looking for. If the repair shop doesn't ask you questions about performance, you're at the wrong shop. Keep Smilin
Chris was without a doubt an asset to the operation all around, hopefully he will be back, he will be missed. On Dougo's hotrod, decked-out party boat, bent propellers are always going to happen no matter what, trust me when I say that from experience....😎. They just go to show good times were happening.........👍.
especially when you bend the hardened steel ones like Dougo has you know you hit something good. I have taken some nice chunks out of / bent the softer metal ones. Wont even get into why my skag is half the size it should be. Good ol' Mille Lacs. I've towed boats back to the landing that were missing entire lower units - it happens.
I appreciate your boat situation. My son borrowed mine one year and the seawater pump impeller failed. He was towed back to the dock and then it was off to the shop for repairs. I then took it out and blew the head gaskets as the engine overheated! You'll never guess why! The shop failed to clean out the cooling system of the hard rubber parts from the previous impeller failure! Oops! Needless to say, I found all this out and more improper maintenance when I did the repair work myself! Do it yourself and save in the long run, unless you have someone you really can trust! Hope you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sometimes "boat" is spelled "boatt", as in "ten thousand" (been there, done that). Do a run out check with a dial indicator. Most brands specify no more than 2 thousandths of an inch (0.002"). Keep in mind that a prop shaft being bent 0.001 from straight will rotate and give you a total of 0.002" out of true. It doesn't take much of a whack to bend a prop shaft, especially on the dual prop installations. You may also look at submitting an insurance claim. (again, been there and done that).
If you bend a stainless prop, you’ve bent the output shaft. The bent shaft will take out the lower unit gears. Very expensive. You bend an aluminum prop, the output shaft may be good.
Doug: As a fellow owner of a lakehouse property I feel your pain. For instance a rebuilt stainless prop was close to $300. A Merc water pump install was close to $400... It never ends.
Bust out another thousand, never heard that one. They are stinking enjoyable when it's a good day. Somehow stayed even on my first Powerboat. Duggo it's a lifestyle, just gotta think that true boaters never complain. Great stuff I was laughing
yes sir - and actually wear them or at least safety glasses. I know you get started on a project (guilty myself) and want to keep going, but we have all heard or seen life altering accidents that something simple would have prevented.
An old garden hose works great to cover hydraulic hoses at a rub spot. Had my Bobcat skid loader for 25 years and never had to replace a hose due to rubbing.
wish we would be able to have moisture problem you guys will for spring time for our farmers and for the fires we had last year, no fall rains and still not much for frost and snow in northern bc canada where i am, heres hoping it changes midwinter
There comes a time when you realize that you don't own a boat for your own enjoyment, but for the enjoyment of the people around you. Happy pontooning. 😁
22:40 you should import me from England and I can repair/build/fabricate anything and so much more than I have witnessed while enjoying the channel.....haha..maybe I'm a stretch to far guys..I will still watch and enjoy your shenanigans.....✌️👍🇬🇧
Doug, is THE BEST storyteller! I love listening to him explain his boat stories. What a great guy!
Totally agree!
I’d rather Doug did all the videos.
@@mmmemgggg617
So true
Dougo for President🤣
Agreed. Polar opposite to the cornstar equivalent
Chris, if you read this, Good Luck to you, we’ll miss your humor..Hope we see you again. And Doug you can look forward to that Happy Day when you say Sold It!
Doug's story telling is one of the main reasons I watch. If the outboard has a vibration next year, remind him about the dial indicator! "It's OK" he says after a visual inspection, lol.
Sorry to see Chris go. Just start watching this fall and enjoyed his sense of humor. Onward though.
Have a feeling he will be back. And feel like he'll be a full time eventually.
I really agreed with the shirts he wore!!
Take care Chris you will be missed. I hope you have a good year.
Dougo is an absolute Hoot !!! He makes my day with his sense of humor!! Told Chet Keep your scab picking fingers off my speakers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m crying
Great video as always Chet !!! Will be lookin forward to the next one 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Chris, we will miss you! Best of future endeavors.
Your dad’s explanation of everything kills me. He is on point on his topics.
I really appreciate how your farm cleans and maintains your equipment! Getting a machine good and clean before starting the maintenance really helps in spotting future problems. Hoses chafing, belts wearing inappropriately,welds starting to fail, seals leaking, and on and on! Catching problems now helps to keep your equipment in the field when you really need it.

What a creep arse!
Chet is exactly right that much prop damage it needs to be checked
We’re all gonna miss Chris. Wishing you guys the best. Good video 👍👍❤️
Dougo is the funniest farmer on TH-cam!!! I was crying when he was telling the story😅
Being born and raised in South Louisiana I can confirm that many really good prop shops can rebuild those props for you to make them brand-new.
Dougo is a natural he has the best sense of humor. I think him and you all for always getting laughter when Doug is around. Love Amy Larson channel to get even more laughs from Doug! 😂❤
Thanks for the battery testing on the tongue. I enjoy your videos but that was great!!! 😂
Thank you!!

Chet your Dad is the best. I enjoy listening to his conversations. Keep up the amazing work Mr. D. Larson.
Having friends with a lake, boat or pool are the best. The friend with these are always working and or stressing
Give Chris an offer he can't refuse, he is definitely worth it! Great Video as always!
Boys and girls, gather round; it's the Mr. Doug story hour. Best entertainment since Clem Cadiddlehopper. 😀
Never a dull moment with Doug around. Love you guys
Man no chris that hurts i had so much hope. We need him back!!!
Chet ur are blessed working with your dad n friends. Dougo is always good to hear stories!
5:35 why not wear safety glasses bogey....? ✌️👍🇬🇧
Duggo.... you crack me up on a regular basis!! and thanks for that...
Russ
I just luv listening to Dougo rant so funny. Changing the oil in the boogie wheels looks like a pain in the butt
Chris was great. Hope he comes back. And Dougo with the woodpecker speaker eater. 😂
Let's start a GoFund Me for Chris to come back!!!! What is it gonna take!!?? Just as he started getting more comfortable with the shenanigans he up and left. 😢😢😢😢😢
He was seasonal and might/ probably have other commitments. Maybe they'll work something out later on in the year.
Sad to hear Chris isnt coming back! He was fun to watch on the channel.
"Mom loves the boat."
You can see Dougo's mind thinking if he should say what he is really thinking. haha
Awesome shout out to Chris & Jordan. Chris diffently fit in with the Larson crew well and will be missed, maybe a new shirt release for him??

Enjoyed this one a lot and seeing the pontoon boat brings back memories, nothing more to say, if you know then you know. Thank you and take care.
A boat owners motto. The two happiest day in a boat owner is the day you buy it and the day you sell it. 😅
I was always told; a boat is just a hole in the water you pour your money into.
Soooo true ! ! ! !
Dougo says that at 25:10
Love owning my boat
I was in the USCG for 6 years and a boat was called a very expensive hole in the water! Good luck Dug o !😊😊😅
I heard that a boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into
The reason the boat was bought makes it priceless. if you know then you know.
Being the same age as Dougo, I really like his stories. I still would love to hear a chronology of the equipment over the years. I found it very interesting that not all that long ago (in my mind LOL!) the farm used, what? two JD 55s and a 4400 ? At least I think that's what he said once. I think he said they once planted 500+ acres once in day with a 12-row planter. Pretty cool stuff!
Lmao Dougo got no shame in his game 😂😂 “I’ll take anything I can get” 😂😂. Sad about Chris
Had to chuckle at the 9v battery test. Going thru chemo for the past 3 years my tongue has that taste 24/7.
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHET AND DOUGO 😊

Bought a new ranger bass boat. Hit a stump in the first hour. Bent the output shaft and destroyed the gears in the lower unit. Just over 1 hour and $5500 dollars in damage
I am almost at the point of launching the boat and then just fishing from shore. stupid boats - just this stupid fishing addiction I have.
worked as a outboard lower unit mechanic for some years…. if your prop hit something, sheared a pin, odds are your lower unit gears are damaged or the prop shaft is bent….
Sure enjoyed Chris pretty witty and a hard worker. If we see him on Cole the Cornstar that would be interesting. Chet looks like he's made it through the holidays and wedding highlights show. Again condolences to Brody on the passing of his grandfather.
What a funny video!! Having a 350 on a pontoon!! Is Doug pulling the whole neighborhood on skis??
" I'll take anything I can get," no truer words have ever been spoken. Hahahaha!!!
Get em Doug.

You guys are one of a kind, Chet don't forget to tell him.
dougo it a breath of fresh air
My husband and I use to go fishing on that lake years ago and yes there are some big boulders on it. Loved fishing there😊
Dougo, I'll store the boat on my lake during summer for you, and you can come use it anytime you want.
Oi 👍 gostei gostei é muito legal muito bom
Dougo is the best. That one cracked me up!!!

You bend an aluminum prop, the output shaft may be good.
Great times as usual!!! Need keep a clean paint tray for the odd drip trays!!! Keep up the amazing work
LOL!!!! Those with boats have lived the same frustration. At least yours is an outboard and you can touch the parts you need to work on.
Haven't seen Toby the beagle in a while. Is the good boy ok?
Poor DougO
He struggles with the party barge too Eric needs to get sonar n depth finders set up for him.wonder when he trades it n on a new one😅😊
You better check the run out on the output shaft. If it's bent, it will take out the seals and then the lower unit.
I love doug 😂❤ instantly a smile on my face 😊
I couldn’t agree more Doug. Everyone wants to use the boat, be on the boat, enjoy the boat. But no one knows you when the boat needs something.
Funny how that works. how no ones stops by when the tool cart is out next to the boat
Or willing to come for a ride when you need to stop at the pumps first.
haha - good one. funny how that works to. ahh I ah forgot my wallet@@garett9510
Dougo is the real deal… such a great guy. 👍
Doug: As a fellow owner of a lakehouse property I feel your pain. For instance a rebuilt stainless prop was close to $300. A Merc water pump install was close to $400... It never ends.
Doug, you can have the props repaired at the same pitch and they will look like new.
Chet is busting a gut and Doug is just calming telling his experiences as a "boat owner"...........PRICELESS!!!
Bust out another thousand, never heard that one. They are stinking enjoyable when it's a good day. Somehow stayed even on my first Powerboat. Duggo it's a lifestyle, just gotta think that true boaters never complain. Great stuff I was laughing
Send the prop to Prop MD in the cities. They just fix propellers. They do good work. I take my props to them when I need repairs done.
The woodpecker deal is a new one. Been around boats of all sizes for over 65 years.
Chet. You guys should buy grinder face shields for when you guys do the bogie wheel caps. Great video. Keep it up 💪
yes sir - and actually wear them or at least safety glasses. I know you get started on a project (guilty myself) and want to keep going, but we have all heard or seen life altering accidents that something simple would have prevented.
I appreciate your videos.
Great Video - love Doug's commentaries! Lol!
Purple Pete looking good. I run a 97 KW with a fresh C15. She bad!
Dougo tough luck on the rock. We've all been there. Mine took the lower unit out at the same time
Gonna miss Chris. Good luck in your career Chris and God bless you. Great video.
Here in Nebraska we have almost 2 foot of snow in 2 days and it’s gonna feel like -40 this weekend
Dougo you won’t be getting rid of the boat anytime soon. You now have hit the age of grandpa to munchkins. How much fun is that!😂
Always in joy Doug stories
An old garden hose works great to cover hydraulic hoses at a rub spot. Had my Bobcat skid loader for 25 years and never had to replace a hose due to rubbing.
We are in Manitoba Canada and we got over a foot of snow this week
wish we would be able to have moisture problem you guys will for spring time for our farmers and for the fires we had last year, no fall rains and still not much for frost and snow in northern bc canada where i am, heres hoping it changes midwinter
I highly recommed you buy a dial indicater and check your shafts because it could cost you more than seals, you can send your props off to be rebuilt
Buy some magnets for the cup that way you can hang it anywhere. Harbor freight has some strong magnetics. I use them all the time.Good luck
I live a a 60ft canal boat I have done for 14 years and love it and yep we say the same in the uk bung on another thousand.
There comes a time when you realize that you don't own a boat for your own enjoyment, but for the enjoyment of the people around you. Happy pontooning. 😁
I have a saying ,and many others also. Quests are like fish, after three days they start to stink!
Blanchard equipment in Louisville GA may have a 9rx or two if your in the market
Love Dougos stories
Dougo is just the best!
22:40 you should import me from England and I can repair/build/fabricate anything and so much more than I have witnessed while enjoying the channel.....haha..maybe I'm a stretch to far guys..I will still watch and enjoy your shenanigans.....✌️👍🇬🇧
Doug you rock! and so true take anything you can get. The cost of a lake house oh ya
Thanks Dougo I needed a good reason to smile today lol
Your right happy when buy it , and when you sell it
Amen on that. The boat life is expensive but its fun.
You're in good shape Dougo the lower unit is still on it.
Yes Chet you know all about the boat and docks. Every spring and fall you get the call what are you doing on Saturday I need help with docks.
