I did the same thing. Ended up with a 2021 Yamaha f90. I had to replace the engine harness and the idle motor solenoid flushed it all out. Fresh oil runs like a champ. That's the best way to buy a motor. This one only had 10.7 hours total time and it was sunk in freshwater. No corrosion no rust. The motor looks like it just came out of the Yamaha box 12,000 motor. I've got less than 3000 invested in. It runs great
As long as the motor spins over the only real issue will be the wire harness mainly the fuse box thats the only area thats not sealed. Just clean out the hi and low fuel pumps and replace the fuel filter in the Bottom. All should be great. Never had a Suzuki yet that went under that i wasn't able to have running that day. Great find , good luck
I’d 1. Strip the boat of all hatch(s) 2. Remove the tee top and deck plates remaining 3. Remove the gas tank and hoses 4. Remove all the wires 5. Remove the engine and strip down to the block to inspect what needs to be replaced/ reworked 6. Core drill the stringers and transom to indicate how much water intrusion has taken place. 7. Clean and sanitize the interior hull compartments. 8. Dry out interior of the hull with fans and build a bubble with a commercial grade dehumidifier to expedite the process. 9. Build a stand for the rebuild of the motor and testing and so on if your going to do it at your home / compound.. AND So On…. Cheers Jjr
Do it right or go home. No need to throw good money to the way side. And by following this and doing it right may cost some money, but then again how much does a new boat and motor cost. And i am sure a lot less to repair it right.
💯, drag it out to the desert 🏜️ for half a season. Dry and UV cleaned by nature 😂 hatches, tee top, control binnacle, steering hydraulics, center console , wheel, leaning post = 3k on west coast craigslist Guessin your in it for about that 🤔
Hey Carl, if you need any help figuring your boat out hit me up anytime. I'm in Merritt Island still. I moved my sailboat out of the cove a couple years ago. I ended up getting several bigger boats. I'm currently restoring two sailboats that came from the same place as that boat. 27 Hunter and a 38 Irwin
If you spray brake cleaner into those combustion chambers I'd recommend that you follow up with a bit of fogging oil before cranking the engine. I'd also suggest that you crank the starter with the ignition disabled for a few seconds before allowing a spark (The deadman switch should work for that)) so that you get some engine oil circulating before that engine fires up. And, perhaps most importantly, change the oil before even thinking about turning that engine over. Oil is lighter than water so despite the pristine appearance of that oil you could have salt water at the bottom of your sump and that would be bad. So pay attention to the first thing to come out of the sump when you drain the oil.
Thanks! I used the break cleaner to blast out the junk that was down inside spark plug well. I did this before removing the plugs so that debris didn't fall into the cylinders when I pulled the plugs.
I think you got a great Bay Boat there, looking forward to seeing the resto I recently bought a 2004 Ranger 185VS bass boat but I would love to add a Key West to the collection 😊
Those Key West Bay Reef boats some of the smoothest riding bay boats made. We have a 1999 196 Bay Reef and it’s great. We can take it out in 2 foot waves running 20 miles per hour no problem. That is going to be a really nice boat once you get it restored.
@@carlweekend You could even take that thing offshore on a calm day if you wanted to. I know someone that took theirs 9 miles offshore to go sea duck hunting.
Hi Carl, when are you going to post the next video? I can’t wait to see how you get this boat running again. 🤞Checking faithfully every week for new content!
Thanks for following along! Trying to get the next video put together soon! It has been a learning experience all around. Looking forward to sharing my journey with you!
Loved the vid! Probably a number of saltwater thrills waiting up around the bend… Such is the nature of this sort of hobby. I dig your attitude! I’ll be watching!
Wow can we all step back and give our condolences to all the boats getting scrapped because of a hurricane. Even this boat was someone’s day out on the water and then one day, poof. Washed away forever.
If the motor was solid, I would probably not sweat it. Not looking good at this point, after alot of demo and dry-out, fiberglass lay up, tons of wiring your going to be in in for some coin. The good news; since this is content, you’re probably going to end up with a badass skiff with a 2 stroke and another full life. I re-motored my immaculate 98 Aquasport in 2014 , and I’m still in it for the cost of a new skiff 😂 Wouldn’t have it any other way my sled sleighs 55kts and drafts a bit more than a foot and now I have been able to land my PR yellowfin that was almost as big as the boat , and still be able to run around backwater and main channel on the lower Colorado River 🤘🤘 Sometimes unwise choices lead to the best experiences. Lol. Sometimes
Looks like a great project boat Carl. Take your time, be thorough, and most of all, have a blast throughout all the new things you will be learning! Cannot wait to see the progress videos. Subscribed and ready watch from the communist state of NY. Good Luck Brother!!
@@carlweekend Whatever a subscription model is in your head sucks. I'm not going to sub simply because you come across as an idiot trying to get us to wait to the last episode before we get all the questions answered that we looked for all along. There about a 1/2 dozen posts here about how much you paid and how you got to the auctions and you are putting out teasers. This isn't a Netflix original. This a TH-cam channel. Engage the community. We are here to help and support not to sit on the edge of our seats waiting to see that you paid $10k for a boat that took the $20k in repairs to end up with a boat that costs 1/2 that price used.
I flip boats as a side hustle. If the hull wasn't breached it's probably fine. It will clean up. Everything electrical is shot, you need to totally rewire. I wouldn't even start messing with that engine. Either have it rebuilt or better, sell it to a person who rebuilds and repower with a new engine. After that, and with a trailer, you will have a boat worth around $40-50K. My guess is you will have around $25 into it not including the boat and trailer and with just basic instruments. That's with a $15K repower. But selling the powerstick and trolling motor (if you get them working) will take off those costs.
unfortunately looks like every piece of electrical on that motor has to be replaced. good luck, I hope you got it for a good price because the sensors and wire harness alone arent cheap
@@carlweekend marvel mystery oil works great we use it on locked up engines. Put it in a spray bottle. I think it can be saved if the exhaust valve on number 3 hasn't rusted up
@ Carl Weekend, Take the fly wheel cover of and get a socket that fits the crank shaft. Then try turning it over with a racket wrench or breaker bar before trying with the electric start. May save the cost of an expensive starter. And if you get it to start moving spray more oil in it, oil is a good thing so don't be chinsy on it.
@@carlweekend best thing to use in these will it run is marvel mystery oil tilt engine as high as it will go and load up each cylinder just let the t soak for a day or two. Then hand spin it a couple of times to get that mystery oil shot out of the cylinders. Get all batteries out hang the wire up spry some degreaser and clean bottom of compacts get a gal of simple green you will need it. Spray wd40 gel good stuff I spray my etec all inside after washing down like next day keep everything rust free good luck shit can those batteries use as core don’t trust those junkers those battery chargers are supposed to be in a well ventilated space not inside the console JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐟🐠🎣🛥🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cheap is not relative unless you tell us what you paid for the boat. For what's it worth this boat would not scare me away, any Key West is a timeless classic. Cleaning this up to shine like a brand new penny is a walk in the park. However, no matter what you think or how good something looks EVERY wire and most likely gauge in that boat is junk and will fail given enough time. Still no big deal, wire is cheap considering the cost of a new boat. I love these type of projects.
Yea. When i took the lower plug out the water came running down..)) i was like damn..... clean all the connectors, resolder some connectors on harness and it ran... anyways almost all electronics had to be replaced on my project...
What auction did you use? I want to do a project like this, I live in TX so there are not many boat options. Don’t mind driving to FL to get something like this
I knew Key West hulls are made with foam filled stringer system. You can even see where the speakers were stolen that the bulkhead is foam filled. So my hope was it didn’t sink to bad since the foam would provide flotation. Didn’t Palm Beach Boats go out of business?
@@carlweekend yes I think they did I bought one brand new in 2006 the 158 center console it really was a good boat and on the transm it had a sticker something that said lifetime warranty and the company name pretty sure same manufacturer for Key West
I believe it. It still hit us hard on the east coast after crossing the state. I’ll show some footage soon from me riding out into the storm on a dinghy to tend to our boats that are kept on anchor.
186 sustained here for 91 minutes. Water rose to the top of my pilings but it needed to come up 14 feet to reach my house. lots of damaged boats. However, I could not buy another storm damaged fiberglass hull. I learned that nickel and dime to death lesson.
Heck i haul my 33' Yacht i bought in IL. and pulled to back to TX. at 100 mph > I had a blizzard right behind me. I didn't want to get stuck in that. Time i got to Texarkana, i had a blow out on the trailer. We spend the night inside the yacht. Until things open up the next morning. The blizzard move in on us 🥶🥶 over night. But wasn't as bad as it would have been up in IL. 🙄
@@carlweekend I hear ya. I hate cold weather 🥶 Every motel up there, was ice cold, all night long. We like to froze to death up there. What was nice on the way back was? The yacht was like a travel trailer. To sleep in during the night. We had all the comforts of a home 😁
@@carlweekend Excellent! Thanks for the link. Copart is getting out of hand, so I am looking at other auction places. You'll learn a lot on that boat. I've done 4 rebuilds, top to bottom, and each manufacturer has their good/bad. Transom and wiring are big items to look out for. I'll sub so I can watch your progress. Wish I would've created vids for all my rebuilds, maybe on my next one.
I knew a guy several years ago that got an awesome boat from a hurricane salvage auction. His pockets are much much deeper than mine…. So I knew it was a thing and I finally had enough cash and fuck-it to go for it. I followed a few FB pages and someone posted about it.
For sure still learning how to use a camera and talk at the same time. Sometimes I don’t even know what I am saying. It’s all going too fast in my head. I’ll talk about the real cost of this thing in the future.
I don't know why I would follow this channel no real info who are you, where in FL are you how much for the boat/? What are your plans flip it, go fishing, get us involved with your story. We want you to be successful. It's great to watch a story with a happy ending. Teach us something. Good luck
It's most likely an astroturfed channel. He only had like 30 subs last weekend and out of nowhere the video gets pushed and viewed like crazy even though there are plenty of other channels doing the same with less subs and views.
The salvage company is Cooper capital specially salvage. This was in south west Florida after hurricane Ian. I think they set up temp locations for salvage lots after major disasters to liquidate all the totaled boats for the insurance companies.
wtf?How much did the boat cost?u say cheap - what's that?i'll watch the next post but you need to give up more info...i don't think you need to invest anything more except in electronics -i bought a few submerged boats and brought them back to life in an instant.off course todays engines are full of electronics and computers so you'll probably need to replace ecu if it shorted out - that depends on the fact if it was connected to the battery or not when it got wet...your steering does not work because the pump is not working for now. good luck
Pretty good video, so far. However, I suggest you ease up on the profanity. I know…everyone is used to it, but when you watch it back you will see what I mean.
The channel had 30 subs when this video was pushed into my feed. Suddenly and unnaturally it blew up with nothing special about the content. Look at the other videos in the history. It's an astroturf unless he won some sort of TH-cam lottery to push his content.
Yeah I agree you don’t know what you’re doing especially when you tried to twist the oil fill cap and said “ what’s this coolant?” Lmfao😂 is the radiator on the bow? You really don’t know how a outboard cools?
I wish I could understand what you are saying, but half the time you are mumbling so bad I have no idea. Also, judging from what I've seen of your skills, I think you may want to consider having a good marine mechanic do most of the work.
Stop mumbling I don't know about the rest but I can't understand half or more of what you're saying you Mumble and jumble everything ......you've got interesting content and I'm sure you don't need my advice but I'm out too much mumbling too much jumbling all over the place... hope your Salvage build turns out nice good luck

Thats amazing! I am hoping to have that kind of luck here! The signs of salt are obvious on mine. Lots of detailing to do on my end!
As long as the motor spins over the only real issue will be the wire harness mainly the fuse box thats the only area thats not sealed. Just clean out the hi and low fuel pumps and replace the fuel filter in the Bottom. All should be great. Never had a Suzuki yet that went under that i wasn't able to have running that day.
Great find , good luck
I’d
1. Strip the boat of all hatch(s)
2. Remove the tee top and deck plates remaining
3. Remove the gas tank and hoses
4. Remove all the wires

@@carlweekend You could even take that thing offshore on a calm day if you wanted to. I know someone that took theirs 9 miles offshore to go sea duck hunting.
There is no wood used in the building of Key West boats.
So no worries about soaked plywood in places like the transom.
I like to see you get your thing running

You really need a safety chain securing the bow of the boat to the winch post.
I am happy I didn’t fall off the trailer on the way home!

I think Key West hulls are made by the same company that makes the hulls for Palm Beach which have lifetime warranty on stringers

I don't know why I would follow this channel no real info who are you, where in FL are you how much for the boat/? What are your plans flip it, go fishing, get us involved with your story. We want you to be successful. It's great to watch a story with a happy ending. Teach us something. Good luck
It's most likely an astroturfed channel. He only had like 30 subs last weekend and out of nowhere the video gets pushed and viewed like crazy even though there are plenty of other channels doing the same with less subs and views.
How much you paid for it?
Were is the place located
The salvage company is Cooper capital specially salvage. This was in south west Florida after hurricane Ian. I think they set up temp locations for salvage lots after major disasters to liquidate all the totaled boats for the insurance companies.
wtf?How much did the boat cost?u say cheap - what's that?i'll watch the next post but you need to give up more info...i don't think you need to invest anything more except in electronics -i bought a few submerged boats and brought them back to life in an instant.off course todays engines are full of electronics and computers so you'll probably need to replace ecu if it shorted out - that depends on the fact if it was connected to the battery or not when it got wet...your steering does not work because the pump is not working for now. good luck
Amen brother …. RIGHT ON THE NOSE ! Can’t think of anything to add, except your first couple of letters …. ( WTF , FOR REAL )
THATS MY BEST FRIEND⛵️
Scooby-Doo! Is that you!?
How much ?
Pretty good video, so far. However, I suggest you ease up on the profanity. I know…everyone is used to it, but when you watch it back you will see what I mean.
Thanks for watching! Apologies for the sailor talk. I have been a weekend pirate most my life.
Just tell people how much you pay for the boat that’s all they want to know we don’t want another video we want answers
The channel had 30 subs when this video was pushed into my feed. Suddenly and unnaturally it blew up with nothing special about the content. Look at the other videos in the history. It's an astroturf unless he won some sort of TH-cam lottery to push his content.
Video really doesn’t mean much, unfortunately. When you don’t say how much the boat cost. Sorry. Maybe next time you will know.
Thanks for following along!
Yeah 1 min I’m and seeing he doesn’t go into the price etc I’m bailing.
Yeah I agree you don’t know what you’re doing especially when you tried to twist the oil fill cap and said “ what’s this coolant?” Lmfao😂 is the radiator on the bow? You really don’t know how a outboard cools?
I wish I could understand what you are saying, but half the time you are mumbling so bad I have no idea. Also, judging from what I've seen of your skills, I think you may want to consider having a good marine mechanic do most of the work.
Thanks for the feed back! I’ll work on it. I’m just a Florida man with a dream and don’t mind getting my hands dirty. I’ll keep at it.
gotta speak clearly. can't hear half of what ur saying
Stop mumbling I don't know about the rest but I can't understand half or more of what you're saying you Mumble and jumble everything ......you've got interesting content and I'm sure you don't need my advice but I'm out too much mumbling too much jumbling all over the place... hope your Salvage build turns out nice good luck
Thanks! Always learning
How much you pay?
