- I saw this old Bonito craft 4.9 with a Suzuki 85hp outboard for auction, it didn't meet reserve so I made an offer and got it for $1100 NZD. These boats are $8-12k in good condition.
There is a hole in the hull, the trailer is rusty and the outboard hasn't run for 6 years. I can't resist a challenge... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

When a non-runner fires up. Never gets old, just magic.
Soggy Bottom mustie on a weekly basis 😂
So true, I’ve scored two boats this way both bought ridiculously cheap because owners threw up there hands at fairly easy fixes.
The bloke is a genius, very talented.
@@mikerobinson8734 my brother is the opposite. He thinks every problem is the worst, never anything simple. He has disassembled most of his shit (motorcycles, four wheelers, truck, outboards), and just gives up and leaves it in a pile...
I don't get why people don't check the easiest, most likely problems first.
@@gangisspawn1 I have picked up a few projects like that for free...just haul it away. Like putting together a big mechanical puzzle.
I can't believe that so many people seem to trash their boats rather than simply giving them a little TLC each year. Good thing you are willing to invest and bring them back to life!
"You've been listening to Mum!" Haha. Priceless.
"If there's anything Dad loved more than serenity, it was a big two stroke engine on full throttle". 10/10 getting the motor running again, Marty!
Thanks mate.. Can't wait to get it on the water and open her up
I got kinda obsessed with your videos the week before last and so I bought a broken tractor to fix up. Thanks!
Congratulations!
Not much on TH-cam makes me happier than seeing Marty’s face when he fixes something up. Love it! keep up the good work. More content please!!!
What is he smearing on the float bowl gaskets?
What do you think of using waxes or silicons to prevent corrosion in the water jackets? Silicons reduce heat transfer and so can cause cars to boil over, but I doubt they will reduce it so much as to overheat a boat engine. actually I have tried it 2 or 3 times with no trouble.
I also do what he did, run them in a bucket, but I intentionally try to get the cooling system to suck up as much used 2 stroke oil from the bucket as possible and use it to line the water jacket.
i was an auto technician for 40 years, i think you have got far better all round skills than most modern techs, i have enjoyed all your videos and particularly like the way you show how to fault find, and methodically move through possible faults until you have pin pointed the issue.
Precious little one there bud. They are lucky to have a kind dad like you.
Marty, your wife must truly be a saint for letting you bring home so many "projects". She's a keeper. It would be too hard to break in a new one.
Or his husband is also a mechanic
These videos could be 10x longer in my opinion. I just love all the intricate things you do. I really learn a lot. It's therapeutic watching someone so skilled do something like this. I could watch a long cut of this whole process in real time. If you ever made a second channel or something with basically raw footage, hours long videos, it would be a dream come true for me.
Totally agree. Sort of 'Maintenance Porn'.
I love your show and your very calm attitude it very calming to watch you videos. Thank you
That was a very happy face when you discovered the engine was in sound condition, priceless!!!!
"You've been listening to Mom, haven't you?" ... Pffft! ... Yeah that's my coffee gettin' sprayed all over!
For those of us that are not mechanics we get same song second verse from our wives-Are you going to watch that (insert sport type) game? WELL ARE YOU???? ALL YOU DO IS WATCH SPORTS, BLA BLA BLA, NAG NAG NAG.
Dear snubbel buff.
👍👌👏 Yeah, same happened to me (but with tea). 😂😁
Best regards, luck and health.
Postscriptum: I absolutely love your TH-cam name! 😁 Does it have a special meaning (if I'm allowed to ask)?
@@maskedfan4862 No wife, NO kids, NO WORRIES, my life is GREAT, & I'm going to keep it that way!
@@pnwRC. wait until you get older..you may miss one or more of those "inconveniences".
@@teenaramsay2469 Doubtful, but it might could be possible.
Some kids count apples
Some kids count cars
Your kids count boats
Hey! Love from the man himself :) much love from Newfoundland ( fellow island and commonwealth person)
So, when You teach Your kids to use also their toes for counting, that would open room for another ten boats ...
I love that she instantly pictures all of the boats in her mind and counted them out :)
Dear siskamore 11.
👍 Yes, and tractors of course! 😁
Best regards, luck and health.
I say you rank in a very few of the top mechanics anywhere, in your country and mine 🇺🇸👍 great job and I enjoy your channel everytime. You never disappoint!
I suspect your apprentice younglings are well in league with the other side. Still, Mummy knows a man with ten boats is a much better prospect than one with an extra missus. Keep living the dream life so we can watch and learn.
at least the wife with the guy and his 10 boasts will know where her man is when he is outside lol
Marty I never get tired of watching you repair engines . My favorites are abandoned heavy equipment that you take on !
"... Good day, guys. I've dragged another project home..."
That's your starter for ten, lol..
I remember when my kids were around your kids age. They grow up fast. Enjoy them while you have them. I lost my boy in a car accident. You asked why I don’t post videos anymore. It’s been a painful recovery after him. Love your videos brother. Nice job 👍 as always.
Shit dude, sorry to hear that
I was near dozing
Then what do I see.
The pup was listening
So attentively.
Let check the wiring
And all the earths.
A bit of corrosion
Now on to the worst.
Checked out the carbs.
That looked like fun.
I thought I was watching
Old Mustie1.
Great job. Thanks for the fun. :-)
Points for effort and popular culture reference!
Haha gold
@Leonard Carr 🤙 straya
@Uncle Eidolf That would be my battery charger, I cranked the battery for a while and it nearly flattened my battery
Never trusted Suzuki outboards. My 65 hp left me stranded several times and seldom worked right. Ended up buying the CDI brain module which cost $300. Had other problems after that so gave up and sold the boat and motor. My 200hp Johnson on the other hand worked perfectly for the 20+ years I owned it and it frequently went out 30-40 miles into the ocean on fishing trips. Glad you got yours running, hope it continues to run well.
I love the fact that you take this equipment and bring it back to life. You’re a very handy guy!
Lol I really enjoy what you do here, it's nice to be able to learn something new and useful. Keep saving up the scrap metal!
Marty, I really enjoy your uploads. I appreciate your “can do” attitude and your willingness to put time into old machines and make them useful again.
Haha, your missus must be pleased that it's not another tractor!
Never to many tractors
@@theatcman37 .... or boats, for that matter.
Nothing more expensive than a cheap boat 😂 great video, just shows how good engineering knowledge can easily fix what look like big problems
The name is quite appropriate on this one - Wet Debt
@@MartyT BOAT = Break Out Anither Thousand
@@TedBishop1 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Boat definition: A hole in the water you pour money into.
Almost as expensive as fixing old airplanes, a hole in the sky where thousands of dollars disappear.
I love the sound of outboards starting. So rewarding after you work on them at they run.
Wow can’t describe how impressed I am by your approach to dealing with problems in your builds. Great job Marty
There’s a calming aspect to your videos that suggest take your time and do it right the first time. Great stuff Marty!
Watching Marty clean those carburetors reminds me of how much trouble I have had in the past getting carburetors cleaned, adjusted and working properly. I have alot of equipment and vehicles still using carburetors. Watched one guy on YT who uses a blast cabinet with baking soda to do the initial cleaning. Then finishes up with an ultrasonic cleaner using a degreaser. I have a sand blast cabinet and recently bought a 30 ml ultrasonic cleaner so will be doing some experimenting with those. My first victim is a Holley 4150 4 barrel from my Chevy tandem axle.
I love it when a plan comes together , then works out ! For me, thats when I go back to the shop, write the check and bring it home. Enjoyed your trouble shooting and repair vid. You are no rookie .....Thanks
I could watch your videos for hours! Wish you were my neighbor!
Its so satisfying to see something resurrected, and even more so when it just needs a little TLC, great job...
So Marty whips out the carburetor synchronizer and that has me thinking he may have done this before...
You heard the little one... 10 boats is enough! :) lol
Or owned a triumph. :) Lots of fiddlin' there too.
@@svtelos4726 :) A lot of times Marty is unconventional, but he always gets things right when doing the repairs. It'll be a nice tooling boat once he's done with it. Not a lot of $$$ either, just some time, sweat and commonsense. What a great combo, huh!
for the old cb 750 lol
Thanks Marty! Videos like this gave me the confidence to rebuild the carb on a 12 year old non-running lawn mower... and guess what? It's works awesome now :) You can give a man a fish....but if you teach him to fish... :)
Excellent video . . . "You've been listening to Mum . . ." LOL. Keep up the good work - always a pleasure to see you bring things back to life.
There"s no doubt about it, you are an absolute legend, now there will be some really good fishing stories and trips away in the boat.
The moral of this story : You can't expect to run an engine for years without professional periodic testing and repair.Great to meet the two little guys !!!
The wife must be excited every time you bring home a new project 😊. Glad you keep finding them though. This is one of the few “must watch” channels on TH-cam and I am always happy to see a new video posted.
Marty your level of expertise amazes me , Cats , Excavators , boats, a very wide range of mechanical skills .
Those little helpers are so adorable!
A man that can fix things is a man worth his salt. Nice score, Marty.
What a great way to pass my 30 minute break at work :) I'll be watching part 2 on my lunch break. I love how methodical Marty is.
I like how you examine everything bit by bit to know whats wrong with it. And in the meantime you share your thought about it. It's very interesting.
I really enjoy watching you turn another man's junk into absolute treasure! Keep up the great work!
" Teahrn boats " the little one said ! Almost as priceless as the grin on your face when it started .
Well done again Marty , just keep going the way you are .
Great recovery on the carb, good to see the next generation receiving superb advice. Love this series of vlogs, stay safe, keep the energy levels high. Regards from Cléguérec 🇫🇷🍷🇬🇧😷🛠🍺🚤
My feed must be on a boat kick tonight (and it's been "winter" for at least a month here in North Dakota, prior to today's first real day of winter... The Missouri River is frozen over and ice fishing is all I hear up in these parts lol) but I'm not complaining. You remind me of an old friend that used to the very same things, be it boat or car or whatever... Just meticulous, step by step troubleshooting after a previous owner had given up, then voila! A "new" toy to play with! I was sitting here grinning when she fired up... So it's only a couple of years since you posted this but still great to see, especially when you youngsters pop in with their color commentary! :)
A lot of care and attention is paid in these repairs, fantastic fix up 👌
Brilliant videos, fantastic commentary... really educational and a joy to watch Marty 👍
MARTY, you're a pure CAPITALIST! I love it. You get something that looks useless, fix it up, "this is where the drum roll comes in" AND YOU'VE MADE MONEY! GOD BLESS YOU. CHEERS
Kudos on that 6 meter long key fob. Brilliant!!
great to see little ones taking interest. I'm sure thy'll be into being helpful trainee mechanics. Great video waiting eagerly for next instalments.
You make fixing look so easy. It’s experience clearly. You da man.
full use of your powers along lines of excellence and two wonderful children as well !
thanks and have a great week.
One of the best hulls for its size, I've had 2 and they perform extremely good in the rough. Welldone.
Fantastic Video Marty! I admit I open the tube every morning hanging for another one of your vids. Well done mate, impressive work!
Bonito comes back to life. Thanks for sharing!
Way to go Marty! Its amazing how a little bit of TLC can make something go again. Cheers!
Great trouble shooting / service tutorial. We had trouble with hard starting and gummed up carbs on our old 70 hp Johnson until we started to run it dry after each trip. Good as gold after that. Thanks for putting it together.
Yes I always run 2 stoke outboards dry when flushing them, like you say they start easier next time
G’day from NY. Excellent work. Very much enjoy your videos. Love that you are working on a boat. Please continue to keep up the good work.
Great watching your videos, The way you methodically work through the issue is great. Good luck, 🍀
Love the happy face after it gets up and running :) Your channel is awesome Marty
Thank you Marty, Your crew are wonderful.
I could watch you all day. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, great stuff Marty, many thanks. Always a good video from you.
I love watching you get results. Excellent yet again.
Hey Marty, I'm a newcomer from UK. Love the engineering expertise - from an outboard engine to a big yellow 'dozer. Fascinating and great close up explanatory shots. Keep 'em coming. Bill B
Making a "non-runner" run always puts a smile on a guys face.
I used to love the Angry Ram videos, but these videos are fascinating.
You scored another one. That looks like a very nice boat. And once you have gone over it you will have peace of mind that all is good. These days you can't be sure of the new stuff. I like fixing the old stuff. And you can't beat the price. Here in the states you would have 10 classic cars or trucks. You can rename the wet debt to debt free.
Thanks for your Videos. They gave me the courage to fix up "non running" machinery.
awesome and at 13:50 I smiled with you. 4 strokes are the deal now, but you can't beat the smell of that blue 2 smoke firing up.
Yeah 4 strokes are much more efficient and quiet but they're so expensive
I don't know you seem to an uncanny knack for picking good bargains Marty well done your mechanical methods are meticulous and purposeful with simplicity thanks for sharing
Impressed by your attention to detail!
Always puts a grin on your face when you get it started!
The good ol' prop tub method. Throttle linkage looks amazing!
Great video mate, good job on the editing. Easy to watch. Thanks for sharing
Cant wait to see how you do the hull repairs. I have a bass boat that needs a bit of work done to the hull as well.
Titanic sails into New York
Who's that at the helm?
Oh, it's Marty T
Marty T: “just a patch on the starboard side and clean out some boiler tubes was all it needed.”

..good buy, should be a nice vessel when you have 'er ready for the water..have a great week and stay safe..
Seeing your daughter's hair sure brings back memories. What a pair of Sweethearts they are.
I smiled when it started and then you turned the camera on your own smiling face. Lol! Great job Marty!
Very correct Marty. You can never have too many boats.
I just gave my Siren 17 sailboat away the other day. Just making room for the MacGregor 19 I hope to get this fall/ winter.
Good job.
Cant wait to see the next video. Keep being awesome and fixing everything you can
I live in the UK, if I get a problem with my Skoda Yeti engine, I am going to ship it over to Marty. It will not only be quicker to resolve but a lot cheaper as well! You right never enough boats!
I told my wife that my ideal vacation would be to spend 2 weeks helping you fix the trash treasure you buy. She rolled her eyes and said I was crazy, I told her only a doctor can make that assessment. 😁.
Nice man. What a score.cant wait to follow for more on your boat.
I gotta say mate jolly well good job . Love the videos. Love hearing the non runner fire up. Smashing good work.
Another great video looking forward to the rest of the repairs
"You've been listening to Mom, haven't you?" love it. I get the same thing but with fishing gear.
Love your work. I don't even boat, but its so interesting watch you working on yours.
Excellent job Marty!!!!
"...six, siven, eight, nine, tin!" She's Kiwi as, mate! So cute!
Another awesome project Marty..thanks as always for the entertainment
ok, i have to admit to being a little dissapointed when Marty breaks out the carb sync gauges. I kinda expected him to use the classic, stick a tube in your ear and tune by the level of "hiss" from each venturi method........ ;-)
Outboard is definitely something that you want to run well. Two vehicles that need reliable engines, boats and airplanes.
He must be some kind of engineer or something. Very smart and very composed. I will try to learn from him and how he works.
Great video. It's fun bringing stuff back to life.
Keep up the good work Marty. You take on some very interesting jobs. Cheers for now .
You can never have enough boats. N+10. Love it. My wife has the same issue with the 10 push bikes I have...the conversation always end quickly when we talk about how many shoes and handbags she has lol 😂
