I've got to give you credit on that A/C installation. It's a very clean installation, very functional, very efficient, very cost effective, and actually pretty nautical looking. It's way beyond the ones where people simply cut a hole in the boat and stick it through. Your heat removal and fresh air chambers and ducts and power system are top drawer. Nice job!
Just a suggestion when doing boat vids refer to "Car Wizard" as "Capt. Wizard"
At this point, now that he has a fleet, he should be called the Commodore Wizard... Lol
Shrimp boat captain wizard. Lol.
I’ll sign that petition
Love it
CAPTAIN OF THE HEART
Mr.Wizard I have read countless forums. Watched countless videos, and turned countless wrenches. You sir are always a delight to watch. Can't wait to see what you and Mrs.Wizard have planned next. Much appreciation from 🇨🇦
You and Hoovie in separate boats on the same lake? 'Caddyshack and the anchor' scene comes to mind. Tyler is Rodney. You better keep the life preservers handy...
Friendly tip from someone who lives on the water for a living.. set up a second lighting circuit with either green or red lighting. If you or the owner ever needs to run at night, the green or red interiors will save your night vision.
Also, bugs. Bugs love bright lights.
He’s no longer the “Car Wizard”. He’s just “The Wizard”!
Captain Wizard :-D
The Mechanic formally known as Car Wizard
No hes the Weezerd !
He is the Water Wizard

Wizard: "Welcome back to the Wizard Shop and Dry Docks!"
Some decent size solar panels on the roof would keep those batteries topped up.
Possibly a nautical wind mill?
Not likely. A solar panel is about 200w. It takes a lot more than one or two panels
Loved Mrs. Wizard's Bay Liner joke 🤣😂🤣😂
Hi Mrs Wizard, I have just cut soms memory Foam and I used an Electric Meat Knife and its does a rearly clean cut and goes through it like Butter.
When you roll up the Naugahyde widow covers, you should tie them off with two small straps the same way it is done in tents (the two small straps are sewn on opposite sides of the edge of the cover). That would be easier than unclipping the cover and finding/sliding a ring around them. 2c
I would love to hang out on boats with the Wizard and Hoovie, that sounds like a day well spent
Replace your ignition module if it hasn't been done. The factory ones are unsealed and the exposed circuit board is bound to fail. Sealed ones are cheap insurance.
I will never get tired of boat updates. I’m a avid boater myself and really enjoy these videos.
Hope your back feels better Mrs. Wizard!
what happened did Mr. Wizard blow her back out?
At 4:28 when Wizard points down and says, “below me.” Haha
Hahhaa.
Not just, "below me, " but, "directly below me!" Wiz ain't playing.
You’re actually a very great teacher. I like how majority if not all of your videos are clear and well spoken.
How about some small solar panels for trickle charging the batteries? The sun on the water is perfect for solar energy.
it depends if they use that boat a lot. solar is a lil pricey however it would be worth
A lot of boats are upgrading solar panels rn. You can find some still useful marine units cheap.
Maybe a small(ish)(?) Honda generator that they can connect to the shore-power plug?
Hope you have some mood lighting for night time. Those LED’s are seriously bright.
Agreed, they are too bright for this little space.
Need red light that won't destroy night visibly if you need drive it at night for some reason
@@steveharthon9609 I'm an orange light kinda guy. The only problem is it looks like the glow from a fire. 🔥
LED lights are dangerous destroying eyesight and causing cancer big time as exposed over on the Ian R Crane TH-cam channel re Mark Steele and by many Doctors such as Dr Alexander Wunsch at this link here : vimeo.com/301352213
@@steveharthon9609 sounds like a job for a stick-on cover.
No naugas were harmed in the making of these curtains.... :-D
Tip: I always use an old school electric knife for foam cutting.
ive threw my back out just stepping out of my car. i feel your pain
I truly appreciate the clever solutions that the two of you create to make your vessels liveable and tidy.
You should cut those metal curtain rings in half and add some strong magnets in, that way you don’t have to pull the snaps off the front curtains and try to wiggle it down
or just use shower curtain rings that hinge open
Or a hair bobble.
Or custom motorized window treatments with remote control. 😂
@@JustFunandGames Yeah and also replace the glass with the kind that can electronically tint with a dimmer switch. lol
I didn't know you could use *ock rings to hold curtains🧐
Beefy
Black rubber o-rings do the same trick and don't slide.
Yes! So glad to see the Bayliner coming along.
Thank you Admiral Wizard and Mrs. always a learning moment. Waiting to see the Wizard waterskiing 🏊♂️
You should make those led lights dimmable wizard. Too much light. Like in an office. There is nothing cosy about that at night on the lake.
Red lights at night.. some green works well too. No white lights.
Wizard, if you have trouble reading the iPad screen you could fab up blinders on three sides to keep the sun off. Also, make sure you've set the screen brightness to max. Easy to forget that sometimes.
RE the battery placement & aux fuel tank: what happens when you use the aux fuel? You get a list to the battery side. You’ll have to add some solid ballast on the port side or move the accessory battery to the port side.
Just as Tavarish is the warranty, Wizard is the ballast.
A very simple but nice upgrade I always do is swap out the water and fuel tank vents with stainless flush mounted ones. When you’re rafted against other boats, they tend to smash up the old style when you get waked. I would also swap all the bulbs in the nav light system with LED festoon bulbs (multi color cockpit lighting as well!).
Would really liked to have seen a video of your air conditioning installation. It sounds like a very novel way of getting air on a boat.
Ah, Grand Lake 'O the Cherokees. My grandparents used to have a place there when I was a kid. I have a lot of fond memories on that lake. Hoovie is probably docked at Shangri La. I don't have a lot experience on that end of the lake though. We were closer to the highway 10 bridge. We were always hunting for skiing water near three fingers and Wilson point area, if I recall correctly.
Yeah, all of the "big" money is packed in and around the Shangri-La/Monkey Island area. Hudiburgs' place is up that way, a couple of family friends have houses up there. The guy that started Cobalt has a house on the point across from Arrowhead YC, and just north of Cherokee YC, down in the Duck Creek area. I've never been a fan of Grand because you have to have at least a 30ft boat for the ride across the middle of the lake to not be jarring, due to all of the 40+ft yachts/cruisers/house boats running back and forth at full tilt.
I really like how both of you are so engaged in the small cruiser, it is going to be like home sweet home! A lot of a cruiser for 9k but you deserv it 100%! Watching all videos!
I love it when Mrs. Wizard talks boat upgrades to me 😇
@Thomas Franklin That wasn't bad.
Nice lights, I like a red light also for when dark but need to see out of windows.
Your wife is amazing she keeps getting better and better with time I hope you're doubling or tripling her salary
You know, if the mechanic gig doesn't work out, you and Mrs Wizard could do a tv show. Yacht Flipping.
Ok, so who here is scared of the idea of Hoovey behind the wheel of a boat at 70mph on a lake?
that's a 30 MPH boat. That's a big boat for a single 5.0L
@@mattdudley3789 what's the boats rough weight?

TOP TIP : If you change the white night-light in the head to a RED light, this a) won't wake up whoever is sleeping and b) won't fully wake up whoever is using the head.
Mrs. Wizard is cool as hell! Cool to see that she likes being apart of a build with the wizard
Early congrats on 500k! You are gonna be there any day!
Mrs wizard needs her own channel. She is on point.
Can't wait to see the Wizards out on the lake
Your gonna need a fan in in the helm area..It gets hot in there and the little side vents are not enough at low speed.. I had also added a hatch in the Top..
I was looking to buy one of these. Thanks for showing it Wizard.
2:08 the word you are looking for is "chartplotter"
Also, after B is for Build Riva disaster waiting to happen, it is great to see another prolific car guy doing a boat project in a sensible way.
And speaking of cooking on a boat, I still remember the first time I made spaghetti at sea. Halfway through the process we got underway and I barely had time to unlock the cooker gimbal.
BoatWizard!!! Great job on that AC!!
A couple if tips....
Electric carving knife for cutting foam. Makes smooth straight cuts.
Get a snap tool kit... install snaps on opposite sides of your sunshades and snap them up and out of the way...if your rings don't work out for you. Also works on the curtains if the wind gets to blowing them around and you can snap them down, and no lurkers peeping on you.
Oh, get the stainless steel snaps for corrosion resistant qualities.
RV surplus places have gas fridge for cheap....last for days on small 15-20lb tank.
Lastly for a/c ... if the old unit dies not work out....
Those portable room units for a couple hundred bucks are great. Uses little power cools large area and comes in a kit with exhaust hoses and panels and such.
My brother and I did his boat a few years ago and it was awesome.
The a/c lasted several hours off a standard car battery and when he upped the batteries and size it lasted .... I think, 6 hours and indefinite with the engines running. The ladies loves getting in the cabin on those 95° days on the river when cruising.
Just my 2 cents...
The more cars Hoovie buys, the more boats the Wizard buys. Coincidence? Hmmmmm
Tip for the future Mrs Wizard for cutting Foam; use an electric carving knife . Fantastic job of streight cutting ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wizard making jokes about depth: I don't want to beach it.
Me: He doesn't want to make it a land yacht.
you can use a wifi i pad and tether to the phone rather than paying for 3G service on the iPad, keep in mind the 3g network will be turned off soon so you will have to tether to a phone, save some money or get a newer wifi only model. You could have an instapot in addition to the microwave. Will the motor be able to charge the batteries with an alternator?
So the cobalt, as you told me befor is hoovies boat lol verry cool to see you together on the lake soon
Mrs Wizard, you have my sympathy. Backs are stupid! I put mine out turning roast potatoes I was cooking for Christmas dinner a few years ago! I was flat on my back for two days!
It don't take much. Don't sneeze or get out of bed wrong either.
I had the same boat yours in 2013. I fixed everything and it looked brand new. The boat feels big on the water and docking and trailering is a bit hard. Practice, it's a lot of boat. But that's a good thing. You will enjoy it. Rides beautifully.
If you contour that little shelf to fit the shape of the rear of the coffee maker, you can slide it back an inch or so, it’ll help keep the coffe maker from moving around in choppy weather AND it will clear the stove insert so you can open the stove to turn on the AC fan without spilling any coffee that’s still in it.
Looking great. Definitely creative modifications. Thanks for another update video.
Mrs Wizard was throwing that thing around like she’s a young buck and blew her back out.👏👏👏 I’ve been married 13 yrs now myself and I applaud the fire and intensity 😂🤣🤣😂
I had a 1996 2452 bayliner cruiser. It looked the same as the one in the video, except mine had shore power A/C, 12 volt fridge, microwave etc. It also had a 5.7 merccruiser. It was a good boat. I had it five years, and it never cost me a cent. I sold it for more than I paid for it.
FYI: Foam cuts best with an electric knife.
Carwizard is the only mechanic I know who has the proverbial boats from the Car Talk Tom & Ray Magliozzi stereotype.
Click n Clack.
Thanks for reminding us about Tom and Ray - loved those guys.
With all the experience Mr & Mrs Wizard are getting fixing boats, I could see Omega service and repairs going into the marine business for real. Stay tuned.
my dad used to do a lot of upholstery work. always cut foam with an electric turkey carver. basically 2 serrated knives with an alternating sawzall action.
Back out putting on socks ... so been there done that 🤔
Here are some of the proper boating terms:
2:16 chart plotter
2:32 depth finder/ sounder
5:08 is that connected to the open bilge? Splashy splashy, charger go boom + humidity. It should be mounted in the cabin IMO. It will be annoying with the buzzing.
2:43 ground, not beach
Install a red dome light in the helm to preserve night vision.
You're gonna have to probably pull the porthole/ window & windshield frames out and reseal them.
For hull fittings, 3m 5200 will be your new best friend. Check all through hull fittings and seacocks and reseal. Also main drain.
8:47 next time use an electric turkey carving knife.
Your outboard appears to have a vertical hydraulic engine lift, if so that's awesome for shallow water and getting to good fishing holes.
Boat is in great shape for the age, "freshwater queen"
Marine ice makers always break.
If you buy a inboard AC unit, don't get the baseline Dometic units, they moved manufacturing to Mexico, I got 2 defective units in a row, they finally upgraded me to the turbo unit line.
Wanna buy my 1996 50ft carver CPMY, 1,100 hours. Lol.
It's coming on great guys. Can't wait to see you out on the water!
LOL in our area we call them BaySinkers. I like that install of the AC unit, When I had my boat I ( my wife also) could never go in the cabin without getting sea sick lol, as long as I was the captain never got sick until then, east coast on the ocean though, camped out on a huge sailboat for a week that was fun, never even felt sea sick then.
Wizard diy gotta love just saving that money lol props to wiz and miss wiz.
Mr. and Mrs Wizard are going to have lots of seggs on the water this summer
Is the maiden voyage gonna be at haulover inlet.....
Mrs Wizard is well organized as usual even to the point of caring for Wizards future sun burns :) Coming along nicely this one. Cheers.
She's his new mommy.
Thanks Ralph & Miss's....Super nice boat....Enjoy...!
The Bayliner is a nice boat. Very stable and if I recall they ride up high and are not too bad in shallower water. I'm still looking forward to seeing the other boat finished though. That old girl is sweet.
The curtain rings were a great idea!
I assume that the starting battery and the "house" battery are on a split charge relay. The beat way of cutting any foam is with an electric carving knife.
Dear Mrs Wizard, my wife and I have had to cut memory foam and we used an electric knife, cuts really well, and if you use a blue colour light in the bathroom at night it doesn't blind you and you'll be able to see👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
A/C suggestion - have the vent from the cabin blow into the cockpit where the captain and 1st Mate will be sat, as opposed to a random exhaust somewhere!
I always respect a good Wizard video, but I love when Mrs. Wizard can get involved.
Always handy having a death gauge.
Awesome, so happy for you guys. Can't wait to see it on the water. 🙂
If you don't like the rough edges on the foam from the serrated knife, I've had good success using a very thin blade Japanese kitchen knife (Nakiri) to cut foam. It needs to be razor sharp, though, and I have to touch it up with a strop in between cuts. But it does cut like butter if you sharpen it right.
Very nice job you two have been busy.
I think that’s the thought of all Bayliner owners...
“Got to get it ready and get it on the lake by Memorial Day”
Mrs wizard needs her own channel.. I'd call it Miss Practical. She has some awesome ideas and wonderful talent
Really creative and great job both of you! Will be cool to see the finished boat.
You do know that if you’re going to be boating with your friend “Hoovies” he’s gonna want to boat race you!! Lol
Better to up you game.
Very smart electric power upgrade, including LEDs. Go big or get stranded.
I feel your pain Mrs W. I worked in the garden shovelling topsoil to new flowerbeds with no issue, next day went to pick up a socks and BAM, back agony.
Could you rig the hot air discharge back into the cabin for heating for the spring/fall season??
Everybody with a kuerig coffee maker try the community coffee k cups, the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had hands down

@@210SAi I was just saying thanks for the correction, sorry I typed to many words and got you all confused Daffy Duck
If I could work on the yacht with Mrs Wizards and The Car Wizards I would puff on the Cannabis Cigars and get all schmoked up.
Mrs. Wizard I've been there with the back pain. I highly recommend a chiropractor. It took a bit to get aligned, but now I go for a tune-up once a month. Best money I have ever spent.
Mr. Wizard, repack those wheel bearings and flush the trailer brakes.
What do you do with the condensation from the A/C?
The biggest problem with the boat is that it says 'Bayliner' on the side. They have a bad reputation as being low quality and unable to take a pounding, particularly the older ones.
Naugahyde: In the US Navy, everything was fake leather. We called the 'soft' fake leather Nuaga-belly, and the 'tough' fake leather Nauga-back.
So I guess the air conditioner works when you are at the dock? I'm sure Wizard did all the electricals to code. This guy always does things right-
Mrs. Wizard is def a Wizard as well! Great idea with the boat!
Wizard I love how versatile you are with the cars to the boat or should I say yachts 🏆
WIZARD you should start taking in boats and jetski's for video content!! SURF & TURF Repair 🤣
