Your getting there! I like the slick drill guide. I’ve made wrenches, and tools when necessary. Sometimes the best tools for a certain job are the ones you make yourself!
Just bought another Starcraft 16ft. It has a transom like I've never seen. Someone lowered it 3" to accommodate a short shaft, then sandwiched a qtr inch plate of aluminum in-between the plywood when they redid the transom, It's strong but I'm not so sure I'm not gonna sink with it being 3" lower than original only in the middle where motor mounts. I'm gonna find out soon enough lol. Came with a 55hp and a real nice trailer and decided to take a chance at 300 bucks, rest of the boat is sweeeeeet!!
Nice restoration video. Enjoyed it. For what it's worth, Thompson's Wood preserver works GREAT in aluminum boat woodwork. It's thin like water, and soaks in and disappears, but man, that stuff keeps the rot away. As they say, don't knock it until you try it!
@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Always. You remind me of my grandfather who passed away few years back from cancer. Keeps me motivated and always working more to finish projects faster when play videos like yours while im doing things. Keep up the good work.
Nice job..I was at my hometown marina yesterday and the guy was doing a big Jon boat job like this..I asked what he gets for this and he quoted $800 to do it..That was cutting off corner caps and welding them and doing basically what you did.Great you could do it yourself..
Hey brother, you're a man of your word. You said there would be a Friday vid...and bing bang boom...there it is. I think its comin' great. Now set the sucker in and its "flooring time". By the by 65 on the scooter...kinda scary... be careful in the storm.. I'm sure youre used to them..Just a walk in the park !!! See ya on the rebound...
Resin baby...shoulda coated that wood with fiberglass resin....paint prob last longer than you though. Love watchin your vids....wish we were neighbors we have a blast.
Hey 46S-chief. Thanks for tuning in. I'm trying to remember exactly why I did that. It had something to do with a comment someone made about it being square or out of square, something like that. It wasn't something I did because I was worried about it. So no, no video on why I did it. Hahaha. Thanks again & Stay tuned !
Nice work as usual...making it work. Quick question from Minneapolis: who is your 'go to' website te for 1960s outboard parts like carb kits, exhaust gaskets, etc. (1968 18 Fastwin)??
Hey. Any of the big suppliers like marineengine.com, boats.net. Just to get part numbers, then I search ebay for the best deal. When you search the part number on ebay you have to search it twice. Once with the "0" at the beginning of the part number and once without it. Some ebay sellers dont use the 0 when they list the parts. I dont know why. Thanks ! See ya next time !
THIS OLD OUTBOARD Yep the butterfly that’s connected to the camera roller . Clean the carburetor spotless. Set the float level with the body. Awesome hearing from you.
@@shawnsingleton3034 Thanks. Okay Sounds like maybe you missed a spot when you cleaned the carb. The low speed idle circuit, the 2-3 small holes just over that butterfly in the throat of the carb. Did you poke a wire (like from a bread tie) in each hole and spray carb cleaner through them. You should be able to spray some cleaner on them and form a puddle, then watch each hole drain. They should drain fairly quick. Take the slow speed needle out so they can drain out that way. I'm sure your needle is set at 1.5 turns out. Is the retainer in good shape. There are two settings for the float, upside down level with the carb like you have it and right side up and how far the float drops. Did you just get this old outboard and trying to get it running or have you had it.
THIS OLD OUTBOARD Thanks for getting back to me so quick . The motor was my dads he has since passed Sentimental outboard ! Sat for a while . Good compression . Cleaned the points has spark . New plugs New fuel pump rebuild kit on order . When I took the pump apart the check ball was missing ?? I’ll run a wire through those two or three holes . Be happy to send you a video of the old girl running super clean!! I think I’ve watched every video you put out so far 👍 thanks again sir I’m retired hoping to move to Florida soon . My brother lives in Port St. Lucie .
@@shawnsingleton3034 Hey Sounds good ! Yeah post some vids on your channel. I did do a carb clean video not to long ago. I dont usually do "how to" videos, my videos are more like "had to" videos hahaha. Thanks for watching and check out that video if you haven't already. let me know how it goes and most of all never assume anything with these things!
I heard you reference treated wood on a jon boat. Is the boat aluminum? I’ve always heard your not suppose to use treated wood on aluminum. Inquiring mind 😃
Hey. Yes treated wood on my 15' Dura Craft jon boat. Its been in there for years and still looks fine. But its not bare aluminum, its painted and probably even primed. So the treated wood is not coming in direct contact with the aluminum. Thanks for watching and commenting. See ya next time !
Hey. Yeah, amazon, ebay. Didn't want to wait when they should stock them at harbor freight. Anyway I think the storm is going to fizzle out some. No evac around here. Thanks again. See you next time !

Can't beat that deal!

I forgot... I also love your 90 degree drill guide. Brilliant! I've got a bimini bracket which will now become a drill guide. Thanks for sharing that.
@@thilltony3362 thx!
Just finishing a transom for 16' myself. Good job.

@@THISOLDOUTBOARD1 Never really paid much attention to where you are located around but if near NE FL will have fish together sometime.
Hunker down Bud! Thanks for the lesson.

Thanks. Yeah I do all my own stuff on everything I own. Thats a good idea about welding them back on. Thanks again. See you next time !

Hey. Thanks ! See you next time !
Looking good.!!!! 🙂👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks ! See you next time !
👍🏻
Echo same about the older treated and aluminum, it reacts and will eat away at the rivets and weak spots. Stay safe and dry!!
Good to know! Thanks ! See ya next time !
Great job !......’Necessity is a Mother’ ! ..... until you invent something that works !
Hahaha. Thanks! Appreciate you watching!
Resin baby...shoulda coated that wood with fiberglass resin....paint prob last longer than you though. Love watchin your vids....wish we were neighbors we have a blast.
Hey. I did the back with resin. Sides, top and bottom too! Thanks for Watching !
How did you make out buddy...?
With the hurricane ? It was a Dud. I think we had only one feeder band come through. But I'm not complaining ! Hahaha Thanks again !
Is there a video of why you were squaring the transom? I’m finished with the board ready to drill and install. The drill guid is shear genius.
Hey 46S-chief. Thanks for tuning in. I'm trying to remember exactly why I did that. It had something to do with a comment someone made about it being square or out of square, something like that. It wasn't something I did because I was worried about it. So no, no video on why I did it. Hahaha. Thanks again & Stay tuned !
Ha ha, it had me wondering too!
Don’t put treated wood against aluminum. There’s copper alloy in it and could react with aluminum pitting it.
Thanks ! See ya next time !

Great videos ! Wish I lived closer to you I have a 1972 25 hp Evinrude short shaft giving me fits 🤬 Won’t start unless I hold the butterfly open?
Hey. Thanks ! Are you sure you mean butterfly open? Thanks again !
