I seen Chris and he react to seeing a purchase made by Rob with astonishment, suprise, even can I say bafflement, but never have I seen Chris smile so much after after seeing this boat. Good on ya Chris.
They started out a long time ago as a CJR14 14ft cathedral hull boat, and there was at one point way back in the day when a fibreglass firm in Southport would lend you a mould to make your own if you bought all the fibreglass supplies from them then roughly mid nineties Poolside Mouldings AKA Seahog Boats based in Freckleton Lancashire started making them again and calling them i think it was from memory called a Seahog trio, the maximum engine size is normally 30hp but i've personally seen them with up to 55hp outboards on . They run well with a 30hp prop rated motor, the Mariner 30hp you have there is a re badged Yamaha 30hp Mariner so it's a really reliable motor . Mariner being owned by Brunswick marine that also made Mercury outboards the Mariner range used to be older model yamaha's up to 60hp and Mercury models painted grey and badged Mariner above 60hp altho that did alter and some of the 40hp to 60hp models were also Mercury engines but they did some 50hp 3 cylinder Merc / Mariners the list is more extensive than that but that gives you a little insight. Mariner were a means for Brunswick to have a mid market brand as well as their premium product of Mercury , some motors you could actually scrape the grey off and reveal the Phantom black of mercury especially on lower units(gearbox bottom section) where they had taken parts off one production line to complete other motors ,,,, a little bit of my background I used to be in the marine trade selling and servicing Yamaha Suzuki and Mercury outboards etc for almost 20 years
Love the car content, but also love seeing something different on the channel. This was a great video. Really interesting to see the mechanical side of this. Really looking forward to the clean up video, and to see this back to its glory. The smiles on both your faces says it all with how much you are enjoying yourselves. Can’t wait for the next videos on this
I spent every weekend as a kid in the 80s/90s at Wateringbury where Portguide Marine sold these. I'm still mates with their son, we used to mess about on boats all day long. This is the Seahog Trio, a licensed copy of a CJR. Very good boat.
Check the water pump impeller chaps , made from rubber they perish and break up if stood for a while, the first sign is the water squirt from the engine should be a constant line -yours is spitting. When they disintegrate the engine over heats giving an audible signal in the control lever box. Have fun guys- we did with our boats👍
Boys, I recommend you change the water pump impeller before taking her out. They will work for a few minutes but under pressure they fall apart. Second, check the lower unit oil before going out. When a boat sits for a long period of time rubber gets hard and breaks easy. If she has no oil the lower unit will fail leaving you out in the water. Just a lesson I learned the hard way. Be well.
The days that Chris has a grin like a Cheshire Cat from the start are always a good watch 😁👍 it never gets old but you can't beat that clip of you on the toilet in the workers van 🤣🤣
I'm with you, can't wait till the clean up, I bet it will transform it. I love the switching between vehicles keeps your videos fresh not knowing what's round the corner and love both of you smiling faces with this one!
Rob and Chris a Cjr 14, mariner 30 2 stroke , 50-1 mix , give bill higham marine a call for a genuine service kit for the carb , done many of these engines run it on e5 though .. love the content and hope this comment helps . I have a few boats, hundreds over the years , and all been restored from wrecks , much experience if you need any help .. take care guys .
If it’s been lying for any period of time I’d change the pump impeller too. I’m a marine engineer. The rubber perishes and stops pumping. Usually a few miles from the harbour which is inconvenient at best. Cheap as chips anyway.
Rob I’ve done all the failing for you. To polish gel coat use, rotary polisher, 9 inch 3m wool pad and Menzerna super heavy cut compound. Then follow up with a decent polish, medium pad on a da forced rotation machine. If it is highly oxidised wet sand with 2000 first. You need the big guns for gel coat , it is NOT like car paint.
Hi Chris / Rob ... When you order the Carb kit .. Also order a fuel pump kit as well .... You may even need a new fuel filter housing complete, as they tend to shatter when you remove the plastic bowl ....Keep up the good work .. Andy
Just love your excitement. Both of you work so hard, it’s nice to see you enjoy a bit of “you” time. We all see your passion for what you do everyday for work, but it’s brilliant to see you do something for when your not working. Looking forward to the next video.
Love it boys , can't wait to see the sea trials around Sheppy , no trying to water ski behind it Rob 🤣 you both have that kid with a new toy look in your eyes , so I bet there will be a few laughs in store , great video again lads keep em coming .
Made me smile early in the video when you both looked skyward, i thought to myself "I see no ships, only hard ships" !!! loving this video guys great little boat enjoy it.
It's too early for a Seahog. It's a CJR 14. They were made in either 14 or 16 foot and later the moulds were taken over by Seahog. Very stable little boat. Great in the sea. They do slam a bit in the waves but it's a small price to pay for the stability of the Cathedral hull.
The grin on your face Rob says it all, you could hardly keep your excitement contained. Your joy is infectious, I just had to smile along with you. Great vid as always lads.
When you get it cleaned off buy some Owatrol polytrol colour restorer £31 ebay will bring colour back no problem. I use it on grp caravan panels. Brilliant
Yes,yes,yes, about time a boat, Rob &Chris do this boat 100% and keep it for the two of you to have the odd Sunday afternoon out fishing or having fun on the water ......👍👍👍👍😁
Love it! It's great to see a boat on the channel. I can't wait to see it cleaned up. I for one, definitely want to see you do sea trials in it, especially if you both wear captains caps! 😁
You have just experienced one of the 2 happiest days of a boat owner. The 2nd is when you sell it (especially after all the repairs, clean up you have to do) 😄
Well Rob and Chris I had a sinking feeling when I first saw it. Thought you had bought a non runner. I can (sea) see that you have propelled yourselves into boats now and glad you have not rocked the boat in this one. She looked fab under the engine cover and sounded solid. Glad you are not skimming on the carb and getting a repair kit for it. Should be plain sailing once cleaned up. Don’t go overboard on the spend😂 and should catch you a nice profit.
Hey fellas, great buy!. I honestly have owned 5 of those Tohatsu/ merc/mariner 30hp engines since the 80s and in both commercial and private situations and they are honestly bulletproof. The only issue we had ever was that if you hit sand the tell-tale would block up but it wouldn't hinder the cooling. I used to take the little nozzle off mine and drill it to 4mm and that made a huge difference in it blocking up. Apart from that i broke a ball end on the advance linkage once and apart from regular services that was it. We used to fish the great barrier reef 100miles off the coast and used them for our dorys and felt safe every day out there. I hope you gain the love for them that i have. Happy fishing!
You can’t beat firing something up for the first time in yonks no matter what. Personally I’ve fired up a 1160 hp ex BR loco this year & each time it goes it still puts a smile on my face. 😊
Guys, at 24:52 I am truly grinning from ear to ear at Rob's enthusiasm of you two doing 'sea trials' on the Swale. You're definitely a couple of big kids, and more power to you for it. Well done, and good luck. Regards Mark in the UK
Cracking boat, a CJR14, dates back to the 1970’s, built by CJR Marine in the UK. 30hp 2-Stroke is an ideal engine for her and the cathedral hull shape is very seaworthy. Owned one for a few years and it went in all sorts of weather.
Anything with an engine!! Nothing wrong with a boat. Cannot wait for the clean up video. To see you two smiling was worth more than whatever it cost!! Excellent.
Great video rob and Chris what a great change of content and really looking forward to seeing the next vid and then sea trials, great to see how enthusiastic as usual you both are on having a boat on the channel, as said great content
Years ago I owned a 15 ' Tunnel boat made out of fiberglass, I forget the size of the outboard but it was a Mercury and flat out 32 mph . I used to be a welder before I retired and I made a frame out of 302 stainless tubbing with rod holders in the middle and stainless 14 ga plate both ends for downriggers all held up with two round tubes and plate top and bottom to bolt onto the boat .Great video .
Did exactly the same early this year with a similar boat that had sat for many years and sold off cheap.Similar problems to yours, but compression still good and now running well after problems with mercury switch and emergency cut out. Now on a mooring at queenborough.Happy to help with sea trials as back up if that's where you are launching. Ours needed gear box oil filled from the bottom, and interesting idea! 14ft = 4.9 meters
Great find and nice to see something different on the channel. She sounds good can’t wait to see it cleaned up and back on the water soon.Thanks for taking us along take care
It's a cjr it's not a sea hog as I used to make the Icelanders range of boats they were the Icelander 18, I sold the business in 1990 after selling over 250 boats, got an offer couldn't refuse. I new the guy who made the sea hog in Preston.. Not sea hog. Hope that helps... The Icelanders 18 was a cracking fishing boat. . Great show thx👍👍
Lovely little fishing boat boys , your going to have a Whale of a time with this one , looking forward to the rest on this one 👍👏👏 Swiss watch the engine 😀 you might need a bigger boat lol.
If it's not rebuilding crash damaged cars, its a motor home and no we have a boat..... Gotta hand to you and Chris mate, the content is never dull 👍😎. So which one of you is now Captain Birdseye of the little sailing vessel 'Salvage Refloats' 🤣... All joking aside, love the videos as always Rob 😁.
Love the video, never seen Chris so happy. I’m not sure if anyone else has mentioned it. Before taking it out on the water I would strongly suggest replacing the impeller. This is a paddle wheel like device that pumps water up to the motor for cooling. It’s made of a flexible material and if that motor hasn’t been run in some time it may well have perished. You might get it out on the water the and then the “paddles” might break off, no cooling, seized motor. It’s a cheap and easy fix, you’ll find plenty of TH-cam videos showing how to replace. Aaarrrggghh me hearties.
I don’t know diddley about boats but this was great content fellas! I look forward to seeing you both giving this old boat the Salvage Rebuild treatment. And don’t forget the trailer. Bound to want a good going over. Crack on lads….time’s money…👍😁
What a brilliant, interesting thing! Glad it runs that made me happy because I know you’re going to have it on the channel and get it going on the water. Definitely my cup of tea I’m not particularly interested in boats I know nothing about them but it’s very interesting! Looks like it will clean up so well.
Who can't love a boat there great fun and that's a cracking boat Rob, well done Chris for fixing the outboard they can be a pain to fix, can't wait for the finished results and videos of it in the water
Mariners are pretty much bomb proof. I have a 2 hp one that I've owned for about 30 years and that belonged to my old man before that. It went for a swim few years ago (don't ask 😁) but a change of fuel and a dry out in a warm room and it ran as good as ever 🙂. Quality...
And now for something completely different!! I'm not into boats but this looks like a good story and will look forward to getting it on the water. Just be careful!! Cheers.
Make sure you change the water pump impeller as well,it's pumping now,but after sitting so long it will let you down,great video,get more boats ! Look out for a Ring or Phantom,best fun you can have on water!
Brilliant! Lovely to see the genuine passion and determination to get it going, and yet another example of the thought and effort behind putting out an interesting variety of videos for us. I was born in 72, and at the time my father and his parents had a boatyard providing pleasure cruisers on the River Yare (Brundall). My wonderful grandfather used to let me drive the boats when I was 3 or 4 years old. At the same time, he also used to sit me on his lap and let me steer his old green Mini pickup on the surrounding country lanes. In 2018, I quit being an HGV driver after 28 years (long story, but don't miss it). At 4 years old I already had an inkling that my post school career would involve a steering wheel..... Thanks Grandad!😁😉 Ironically, I prefer me feet to be on terra firma these days though! Thanks for stirring the nostalgia lads, can't wait to see what you decide to do with it.
I have been messing about with trailerable boats for 50 years and I have a couple of comments to make. Personally I wouldn't take that old neglected motor anywhere near the sea. It is a 2 stroke which are notorious for rusting up in the cylinders and big ends if it hasn't been properly pickled for storage, which this one clearly hasn't. I recall an incident in my naïve youth when I bought an old Evinrude 40 that blew up a few months later off Shoreham when a con rod flew through the side of the engine caused by internal rust on the big ends. Believe me you don't want to get stuck at sea, Secondly, 30hp is not going to make it go like a rocket, the boat is underpowered and needs a minimum of 40hp
Pumping water or not, drop the bottom unit and replace the impeller, £7 bit of rubber that takes 20 mins to fit will save you a lot of bother out at see 👍 that gelcoat will polish up like new, don't put the metal on the back, people only do that when the transom is getting soft, a new buyer will instantly think it's rotten .
I just finished rebuilding a 5m Tornado Rib boat....spanking new sponsons on it...mine has a 75hp Mariner on it...you can't beat being out on the water mate. This series I'm going to enjoy.
Haha I swear your South end accent has gotten stronger in these recent videos Rob lol. "Thirty orse, this fing ull go like a rocket" "sprayed every fin ap wiv a bit ovv dabble u dee fortee" 😂
You have my interest again,this is my cup of tea 🍵 Sometimes cars and other vehicles gets a bit 🤔 having a boat puts a smile on most peoples chops, looking forward to the launch 😜
I cant wait for the cleanup but the first trial run on water will be epic, im picturing Chris doing wave hopping with fishermans blues playing in the background 🎼😄
Great video lads. I'm wondering if Chris will keep it for a while. Absolutely another video on it . The cleaning of it and out on the water. Cheers lads
I seen Chris and he react to seeing a purchase made by Rob with astonishment, suprise, even can I say bafflement, but never have I seen Chris smile so much after after seeing this boat. Good on ya Chris.

Second best day of your life when you buy a boat ! The best day is when you sell the bloody thing :+)
🤣
A boat is hole in the water into which you throw money.
Exactly. From a former boat owner.
Not on a cheap old boat like this
"What happens when it rains?" (JKJ)
Its coming up on car vertical as Cat S (Previously Sunk). 😂 Great video guys.
Nice one lol.
Chris smiles like the Cheshire Cat when he see's lawn mowers and boats!
I bet that was once Bullys special prize on Bullseye! 😂
I remember Rob going out on the jet ski and the smile on his face. Of course we want to see Chris out on it.
Love the car content, but also love seeing something different on the channel. This was a great video. Really interesting to see the mechanical side of this. Really looking forward to the clean up video, and to see this back to its glory. The smiles on both your faces says it all with how much you are enjoying yourselves.

It’s cjr 14 sea hog, nice boat. Very stable with the cathedral hull. Enjoy !!
The boat you have there is a 14ft CJR Cathedral Dory, nice find 👍

That looks like a CJR dory boys. If you bend the reed valve stops on that engine out a bit, you will turn it into a 40 HP It's a rebadged Yamaha.
I'm with you, can't wait till the clean up, I bet it will transform it. I love the switching between vehicles keeps your videos fresh not knowing what's round the corner and love both of you smiling faces with this one!
Always loved the diversity of this channel. Nice to see you guys enthusiastic and eager looking forward to the future content!

Just a bit of advice, make sure you change the impeller & gear box oil, before your maiden voyage !!! Great content love the enthusiasm.
Impellor is a must.
And get a radio and let the Coast Guard know your voyage plan.
Otherwise you might meet some of my RNLI mates...... :-)
Doesn’t get any better for you guys. Earning whilst thoroughly enjoying yourselves. Looking forward to the rest of this project.
Love it! It's great to see a boat on the channel. I can't wait to see it cleaned up. I for one, definitely want to see you do sea trials in it, especially if you both wear captains caps! 😁

Rob/Chris, and old friend of mine once said and I’ve never forgotten this saying, “IF IT FLYS, FU*KS OR FLOATS RENT IT” 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Shunt Master ..The best advice I ever had ... If it flys F***S or floats ..Lease it ..Wished I done that with my lady !!!
@@jamesharris2073 nice one.
Love it something different on the channel. Can't wait to see her cleaned up
The switch on the controls is for a kill cord!!! Make sure you get one and wear it when your underway!!
Chris was very excited when he saw that little boat. I think there will be fishing soon gentlemen! 😁⚓🛥
Captain Pugwash and Seaman Stains to the rescue 🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧👍🤣🇬🇧👍
Did exactly the same early this year with a similar boat that had sat for many years and sold off cheap.Similar problems to yours, but compression still good and now running well after problems with mercury switch and emergency cut out.

Chris will be up in the morning and will dig himself a lake 😂
You've got to do a special Sunday video with it on the water, would be great. Good luck with it. 👍😍
Can’t wait to see the look on the faces of the car wash boys when you turn up with that 😂
Great find and nice to see something different on the channel. She sounds good can’t wait to see it cleaned up and back on the water soon.Thanks for taking us along take care
whatever floats your boat...how about salvage seabuilds ?
It's a cjr it's not a sea hog as I used to make the Icelanders range of boats they were the Icelander 18, I sold the business in 1990 after selling over 250 boats, got an offer couldn't refuse. I new the guy who made the sea hog in Preston.. Not sea hog. Hope that helps... The Icelanders 18 was a cracking fishing boat.
. Great show thx👍👍
Rob remember to do your boat vertical check haha love the video
Lovely little fishing boat boys , your going to have a Whale of a time with this one , looking forward to the rest on this one 👍👏👏 Swiss watch the engine 😀 you might need a bigger boat lol.
That is the cutest little boat, I want it!
Nice to see something different guys, we bought our boat in November and love every minute restoring her.
Great little boat, do it up, sell, then buy bigger one, trade up couple more times, then you’ll be into a Sunseeker!
If it's not rebuilding crash damaged cars, its a motor home and no we have a boat..... Gotta hand to you and Chris mate, the content is never dull 👍😎.
So which one of you is now Captain Birdseye of the little sailing vessel 'Salvage Refloats' 🤣... All joking aside, love the videos as always Rob 😁.
The best 2 days of owning a boat, the day you buy it and the day you sell it 😉

Has Chris had a look for any loose change yet 😂😂
Yes boys! Cannot wait for part 2. Swale ski club barefoot water skiing
I don’t know diddley about boats but this was great content fellas! I look forward to seeing you both giving this old boat the Salvage Rebuild treatment. And don’t forget the trailer. Bound to want a good going over. Crack on lads….time’s money…👍😁
What a brilliant, interesting thing! Glad it runs that made me happy because I know you’re going to have it on the channel and get it going on the water. Definitely my cup of tea I’m not particularly interested in boats I know nothing about them but it’s very interesting! Looks like it will clean up so well.
Never start a 2 stroke with brake clean or starting fluid. Squirt 2 stroke mixed fuel in it.
Who can't love a boat there great fun and that's a cracking boat Rob, well done Chris for fixing the outboard they can be a pain to fix, can't wait for the finished results and videos of it in the water
Rob I bet you were itching to give it a clean 🤣🤣🤣👍
Mariners are pretty much bomb proof. I have a 2 hp one that I've owned for about 30 years and that belonged to my old man before that. It went for a swim few years ago (don't ask 😁) but a change of fuel and a dry out in a warm room and it ran as good as ever 🙂. Quality...
HMS Waffle needs to be sea tested for sure 🙂
And now for something completely different!! I'm not into boats but this looks like a good story and will look forward to getting it on the water. Just be careful!! Cheers.
crikey nice one was it on Bullseye?
Look what you could have won
Make sure you change the water pump impeller as well,it's pumping now,but after sitting so long it will let you down,great video,get more boats ! Look out for a Ring or Phantom,best fun you can have on water!
Captain Chris and his First Mate Rob.
Brilliant! Lovely to see the genuine passion and determination to get it going, and yet another example of the thought and effort behind putting out an interesting variety of videos for us.

A right pair of Delboys
That's right dellboays 4.0. 13 feet. Long
Looking forward to the clean up and seeing you bobbing about on the water! Looks like you are really loving this rebuild.
I have been messing about with trailerable boats for 50 years and I have a couple of comments to make.
Personally I wouldn't take that old neglected motor anywhere near the sea. It is a 2 stroke which are notorious for rusting up in the cylinders and big ends if it hasn't been properly pickled for storage, which this one clearly hasn't. I recall an incident in my naïve youth when I bought an old Evinrude 40 that blew up a few months later off Shoreham when a con rod flew through the side of the engine caused by internal rust on the big ends. Believe me you don't want to get stuck at sea,
Secondly, 30hp is not going to make it go like a rocket, the boat is underpowered and needs a minimum of 40hp
Pumping water or not, drop the bottom unit and replace the impeller, £7 bit of rubber that takes 20 mins to fit will save you a lot of bother out at see 👍 that gelcoat will polish up like new, don't put the metal on the back, people only do that when the transom is getting soft, a new buyer will instantly think it's rotten .
Looks like a CJR 14 footer. Late 70’s into the 80’s.
Definitely, I have one moored next to the boat I live on.
Living on a nice boat living the dream I’d love to do that or a cheap camper
Nice little boat guys, good to hear it fire up….tow it down to the car wash Rob!
I have a full engine and steering wheel and cables and windows and a 55hp engine for this boat
I just finished rebuilding a 5m Tornado Rib boat....spanking new sponsons on it...mine has a 75hp Mariner on it...you can't beat being out on the water mate.
This series I'm going to enjoy.
Haha I swear your South end accent has gotten stronger in these recent videos Rob lol. "Thirty orse, this fing ull go like a rocket" "sprayed every fin ap wiv a bit ovv dabble u dee fortee" 😂
I’m not from Essex bud never have been were in kent 👍
@@sruk I know you have said before but that is what it reminds me of. 😄
You have my interest again,this is my cup of tea 🍵
Sometimes cars and other vehicles gets a bit 🤔 having a boat puts a smile on most peoples chops, looking forward to the launch 😜
Did you check this out on Boat Vertical before you did the deal ?
🤣🤣🤣
Maybe Boat Horizontal?
That's a cool little boat. Look forward to seeing it cleaned up.
Rob you need to get on eBay for some water-skiing equipment 😁
🤣🤣🤣
I cant wait for the cleanup but the first trial run on water will be epic, im picturing Chris doing wave hopping with fishermans blues playing in the background 🎼😄
🤣
Cjr? Good vid but throw away that grey fuel line it's bad
I would watch you two for hours and hours repairing and doing literally anything 😉. Really enjoying that
Very cool. I like.
Great video lads. I'm wondering if Chris will keep it for a while. Absolutely another video on it . The cleaning of it and out on the water. Cheers lads
What's a fumnail?
You and Chris never fail to amaze me with what you buy! I'm looking forward to the sea trial video!!!
