The entire restoration has come down to this moment! Paul, Ben, Merlin, Jimmy and Hunter are eager to see if the Yellow Submarine is going to sink... again... or run like a top. Watch as Merlin gets the engine installed and they guys take it for a test run! This is the last episode before the reveal so tune into @FabRats channel on Wednesday 12/28/22 to see the Reveal, meet the owners, and hear the story of how this boat ended up at the bottom of Lake Powell 30 years ago! Thanks for all your support!

I don't know spit about boats, but the fact you drug it out of the bottom of a dried out lake and got it to run and float with the engine it went down with is one of the most impressive feats I have seen. well done Merlin!
If you watch the second part of this series in the very beginning of the episode you will see this motor in the background, heat ex-changers and all. They may have swapped the intake over because it looks like the one that was in the background has a cast iron intake. (Hence the oil leak)
Sir, I am a 61 years young guy, but just the thought of all of you doing what your doing, i am crying like a baby, just knowing that there is such GOOD people in this world, What a Blessing that is for you guys to be able to do the whole yellow submarine build, and to top it of you're going to give it back to the original owners. Heavenly Father please Bless all involved in this Build.
Junebug i miss you terribly, My Precious little wife, passed away at 57 years of age on November 28th, 2022. (breast cancer metastasized to the bone) December 24th would of been 34 yrs. 1 thing more to say, Junie was given a 3 to 5 year life expectancy, My precious Junie just passed the 21 years mark, an amazing woman.
June i hope your proud of me, Your Husband Steve.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know she's watching over you as proud as she's always been. God bless you.
I shed a few tears myself.
God bless you sir, RIP to your lovely wife and I wish you best of luck in your healing.
Sorry for your loss Steve.
Big guy so very sorry for your loss of your wife junie will say a prayer for her and you 🙏🙏🙏❤️
What an AMAZING family, Merlin, Paul and Ben plus their families. The crew Papa Dar, jet ski Jimmy and Hunter, and everyone behind the scenes. Thanks for taking us on this adventure with you. So many uplifting videos come from the Old School Garage and The Fab Rats, please don't stop doing great things!
The thing I like best about watching all these channels(MORR, FR, TM, MOSG) is they love what they do, so it's not a chore, a burden or hard work, it's a fun challenge and they get rewarded far more from the gratitude they receive from those they have helped. What goes around comes around. What ever you sow it will comeback ten fold.
I’m so impressed by the whole community that is been created by helping each other grow
I always loved being the only one on the lake.
Agreed! This whole group of Paul, Matt, Robby, Merlin, Rory etc. is just so awesome.
@@c50ge Agreed. I once had a 600 acre lake all to myself for several hours, just me and my kayak. It was a super quiet and almost windless day. Water dripping off of my paddle was often the only sound to be heard. It was also very cold but there's heat in those paddles if you get after them just right. I was fortunate enough to have a camera with me, so it was a beautiful and documented event. Lol! : )
congratulations
@@c50ge If you're fishing, but if you have a fast boat it gets boring after awhile
What an incredible project this has been and what a ride that was! Only one thing left to do……….😎
Give it back to the insurance company that probably paid out on it? lols
Good stuff !!
Thanks for all your work on the YS. Utterly amazing to me that a boat salvaged off the bottom of the lake 30 years later could be rebuilt and run again so quickly. Fantastic work by the whole crew.
You guys should all be super proud of yourselves. What an amazing and awesome project and job you guys did on this. Can’t wait to see her finished out and the fact that you got that boat back on the water, WITH the original engine power it in this amount of time is stunning. Great job!
Merlin you are a genuine Legend buddy 👍🙂👍🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲
Yanno, the entire "cox" family and extended family/crew are genuinely amazing people. Who else in the world goes to the lengths to not only recover a random abandoned sunken vessel, but to repair it to safe working order, find the owners, and give it back?!?! Yall are pure, this entire story is beyond heart warming and shows there is still good in this crazy world. Absolutely love yall! If your ever in western PA for any reason swing past Gnu's Body Works. We would love to meet yall
This is the sort of content TH-cam excels at and you and Paul are true ambassadors
When highway US 89 collapsed near Page on Feb 20, 2013 it closed down the road from Flagstaff to Powell and stopped me from boating there. Now with LOW water levels on Powell and Lake Mead, seeing you guys recover an awesome boat and getting it floating and running is pretty incredible! Great job on the colab with Fabrats! Super fun to see it all unfold!
I’m speechless! You’ve actually resurrected a boat and motor that was on the bottom of a lake for 30 years!!! That’s hard for me to fathom
Great job guys! It’s a testament to your combined knowledge and efforts that this boat has been restored to its original glory, and survives to provide more thrills out on the water. Congratulations!
Merlin, My mind is still blown over that engine running in the first place. I mean sure, I knew you COULD make it run, after lots of work and a complete teardown but NOOO, It just RAN!. This whole project has been amazing and you and your friends right along with it. And look at you with 111K subscribers! I knew you had what it takes to be great. Keep on rocking on brother.
Just amazing...the amount of work and effort put into
this project by everyone. Looking forward to the final episode...thx Merlin, Paul, Ben, Jimmy and everyone contributing
Happy New Year guys, absolutely a great job, can't wait to hear the story about how the Yellow Submarine ended up at the bottom of the lake and presenting the keys back to the original owner.
This series is so awesome loving how you guys are going above and beyond and having such kindness to restore a boat for the owners. This series is such a joy to watch thanks everyone that helped out all this together all of your viewers are enjoying Ying the watching
Really just crazy how that boat turned out after so long under water. so cool!!!
That was awesome . Nice to see a boat rescued from the depths. Way to go Merlin , Paul , Ben , Jimmy and hunter honorable mention to Michelle 👍✌.
Fascinating how good of shape that boat is in after sitting at the bottom of the lake for so many years. And it’s amazing the pistons were not completely corroded and seized in all the cylinders. Great fun to watch y’all salvage and bring it back to life👍
Merlin and cousins Paul and Ben y'all are doing a Awesome job and a something very nice. Oh it looked like Y'all had a lot of fun there
That's insane that boat was literally a shipwreck 2 weeks ago. Now look at it. Good job Merlin.
great job. loved this restoration. good video really enjoyed it. happy new year! 👍
Man I thought it was going to be months before we saw a video of the boat on the water. Awesome work guys!
The government wages war against humanity.
End Isreal occupation of Washington D.C.
nah.. Once they started it on the ground, I knew it was going to go right back together. To be fair; they aren't shooting for longevity on this thing-- just get it to make some pulls and call it a day. How that crank is not seized to the block as one piece of rust-- I have no idea??
This has been a great recovery/semi restoration video series that both channels did together. #fabrats #merlinsoldschoolgarage
You all rock.
Howdy from Australia been watching your videos for a while now and enjoy the content you put out
Love learning new tips and tricks you show
Keep up the great work and always look forward to the next video.
Dean
Awesome!
You are one cool righteous guy thank you for what you did
I congratulate you for making everything old new again. All of you can fix anything but the break of day and a broken heart. Great videos.
Wow, what a restoration !! Great job all !!
Resurrection !!
This was awesome!! So cool to see that boat go from sitting on that beach to back running strong with all its original parts!! Crazy!
That looked like a real blast! Pretty amazing after the boat being under water for so long. Thanks for the video!
That was awsome, what a fantastic talented team. Keep providing great content
Absolutely nuts! I still can't get over that motor surviving. Crazy
Great job!! To all those who participated in the "Yellow Submarine" project!! That's a bit of a miracle to raise that boat from the dead!! I'm still blown away by how good of condition the engine was in. I'm betting the owners will be shocked and amazed when they see it!! Enjoyed the whole project and will be sure to tune in to see the owners get it back!!
MOOR, Fabrats, now Merlins OSG. It's an entire network of bad-assery. love it.
So Wise , Thank You. Thank You for putting the original UNSMOGGED engine . Amazing how she turned out.
No way lol that’s awesome I thought this was going to be like the Golden nugget and Go back and forth to 5 different channels to do one restoration 😅 But Merlin got in there and smoked it out Great work !!
Just watch the video of you guys giving the boat back to its original owner truly appreciate it Your part in all this Your emotions got my emotions going 😢 Dad to Dad
Utterly amazing, and so cool that the original owners get another chance! Great job Merlin, Paul, Ben and Jet Boat Jimmy!! What the hell am I doing awake at this time of the AM??? Smilin'.
What a Success. the Old 460 sounds like it rips ! Great job and thanks for sharing !
Great Work on the Yellow Submarine!!!! Congrats!!!
man what an awesome project!! I still can't believe that engine, that whole thing should have been a paperweight after 30 years. seeing that (Formerly) sunken boat cruise across the lake like that really made my day...
I really enjoy watching your videos. You have a great bunch of friends in your life and that's a real blessing. I hope your neighbors know just how lucky they are living next to you. So many projects to play with. Stay safe live happy.
All you guys are amazing. God bless each and everyone of you
Merlin, thanks for the kick a** video! Came here from FabRats, gonna stay for the craftsmanship!
Such freedom being on the water
love your channel
you're a pro
What an awesome boat it turned out to be, probably top of the line way back when. Thanks guys, loved it.
Well, Matt brought me to Paul @FabRats which eventually led the Yellow Submarine “adventure” and now I can add Merlin to my subscribed family… Love ‘em all!
> Still waiting to find out the Submarine’s backstory… seems to be easier to rebuild the boat than find out who owned her or how she ended up sunk.
its coming....This is the last episode before the reveal so tune into @FabRats channel on Wednesday 12/28/22 to see the Reveal, meet the owners, and hear the story of how this boat ended up at the bottom of Lake Powell 30 years ago! Thanks for all your support!
Thanks, loved the restoration! Ron PTL USA
amazing job guys!! well done! most folks would have hauled it to the scrapper and junked it.
the heart of preservation, saving all the abandoned, forgotten or discarded junk of others is precisely why old cars planes boats and houses exist today,..... loving it, i do this kind of stuff myself with cars and trucks. but never a long forgotten sunken boat, never even imagined it would have been possible, just amazing.
one mans trash is another mans treasure, in this case just bringing old broke stuff back to new life is the way we help to remember and preserve history for generations to see. im fully on board with this kind of work.
excellent job!
Nice to see an old daycruiser out on the lake
Merlin sir you are a master of your craft. You are so knowledgeable in many aspects of mechanical engineering. My new favorite to win Tow Truck Olympics.
Great Story..!
TEARS....And more TEARS..!
I sank a boat during a race back in the 70's. Spent 14 months to recover and learn to walk again. I did not have anyone onboard with me... woke the next day in the hospital. Many years later, I purchased another boat while I was building engines for a local speed shop. I spent about 1-1/2 years building. Every part had to be re-made. End result was a 502BBC, Blown, V-Drive, K-Boat.
Took the wife out a few times...she preferred her slower boat. Been sitting in the garage for the past 2 or 3 years now. Maybe put back on the water one more time.
My other project of many.... 1958 Ford, 4whl, Original other than 400M motor as the old 292...no power.
Merlin... I like the way you do things..! " It's just Metal "
Can't get too much of Merlin's Old School Garage! You have awesome videos.
That was awesome to see that boat back out on top of the water again. Good job
This series has been a great little watch the ole yellow submarine came back quite nicely
You are men with class. I am very very impressed.
The smiles on those guys faces says it all. It was great to hear the old 460 sing again! I bet that boat has some good power, amazing it runs so well after being submerged for so long! I wonder what year that boat is?
You need to be doing more videos, your work is very interesting and you are very talented. Your experience really shows! Thank you for entertaining and educating this old geeser.
Enjoyed watch you guys putting the jet boat back to a running and useable boat. You guy sure enjoy working together and have fun doing it. Made me feel like I was there with you. Thanks for sharing.
Neither you nor your accomplices ever seemed discouraged by this improbable challenge. You all performed a service just by cleaning up the lake bed but really went above and beyond to bring the Yellow Submarine back to life. It was gratifying to see you all choked up at the Lake Havasu reunion.
I'm so impressed, you did San incredible job with this. What a fun series to watch.
Amazing that it runs so well!
Great Job on the Yellow submarine, so amazing that the engine was in such good shape!!!
30 years on the bottom of a lake?? Wow! Love this series - Go Find more! LOL
I'm shocked that you guys got it in the water so fast. Wow!
I was sure it would get a different engine, I’m blown away that the original is working! A real testament to the American V-8!
I never had a doubt she would float! You all are amazing!
You sir are a legend keep up the great work. I can't believe that motor runs that good after 30 years under water.
That’s absolutely wild!! I sure would have thought that engine would have been locked solid.
Unbelievable you guys are something else Thanks for the entertainment
awesome project guys! thanks for taking us along 😎😎
It is truly amazing how fast y'all got this up and running. Great Work!
Also its awesome to see your channel growing to 100K+ over the past bit!
Hearing the old Cleve growl again is really fantastic. And I am a Golden Lion guy!!
This has been a really fantastic series guys. I test in Vegas just about every year, been watching the water go down at Hoover dam and it feels like end of days kinda stuff.
So this series has been good for the optimistic side....
What a absolutely cool and generous thing you guys are doing for the owners of the boat, my hat is off to all of you gentleman. Merlin I don’t understand why you don’t have at least 500,000 subscribers you have so much knowledge to give and you give it brother just keep doing what your doing it will happen. Keep spoiling that little pup we just lost ours of 13 years. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
FAB RATS FAN : DUDE YOU ROCK!!
👏👏👍👍💥👌✌️⚡⚡🕊️🙏
welcome 🙏
Merlins Old School Garage and Fab Rats are so talented they probably could raise the Titanic
That is absolutely an incredible restoration, using that same engine just blows my mind 👌
Excellent series. Thanks for posting. The sound of that big block Ford...after 30 years.
(Be interested to see your team crack the oil filter after a few hours of run time...)
Awesome never doubted it for a minute that you would succeed Grats to all involved
Sometimes humans amaze me imagine if the whole world worked together like these guys did how much we could accomplish.
Simply Amazing !!!
With the beard Ben looked like a sea captain. I was hoping he'd let loose with a "Yarrrr!" or maybe an "Avast!".
Yaw are classy good hearted people hats off to yaw all
Super entertaining. Big surprise the boat surfaced in such good condition. Even bigger suprise that the motor still runs!
That looks like it was an absolute riot!!!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Awesome job Merlin 👏 👍 !!...... everything so cool and well explained!!...cam shots & editing top notvh !!!...thanks for sharing with us
NOTCH
That was cool. I really like the Dodge in the back drop at the end
Incredible! You got that handled quick. Very impressed. Great work
what a great show case of your talent and tenacity well done
I was hoping to hear the back story on the boat as to why it went down...it's still the craziest thing I've ever seen. That engine by all rights should not run...but it does 👍👍👍
Fantastic turn around. If I was the guy getting the boat back I'd try and pay Merlin to really put the finishing touches on it.
Amazing there is a Lake! enjoy!
Just found your channel. Absolutely love this boat resurrection!
Great job dudes!!!!
Great job. Had no idea it would be back on the water as original as that! Wow!
Bring a blue tooth speaker with ya when the owners come in for a ride....so you can play the same Van Halen album they were listening to when it went under...
Great restore. Looking forward to people’s reactions and the story.
Unreal! The thing is an absolute gem.
