The engine is one thing, but when you look at the condition of the rest of the boat, be prepared for a shitton of more work and sinking quite the amount of money into it(always more than initially calculated). I bought a run down 30 ft canal cruiser and it took me the weekends of two years to bring her back to presentable/liveaboard condition. And it wasn't even my first boat. Boats are treacherous.
The 228 is a 305 instead of working on it. You’d be better off to get a crate engine and put it in there from three-quarter ton pick up truck or camper special like I did. They say you can’t do it but I’m going on like nine years.
You guys didnt do too bad, everything considered. I am sure you will have it running pretty soon. Oh, and since you found it funny you got some viewers from abroad, I am from scandinavia. Cheers.
its turning because it wasnt that bad....like all you guys say when you do these kings of vids...make it sound harder then it is jesus...every single one

I'm getting ready to do the same thing with a Murc 4.3L V6 In a 88' Cris Craft. I'm feeling optimistic! Thanks guys!

Yes it has been quite a project 👍 but it has been fun.
Awesome video so glad she fired up
I couldn’t believe it 🤷♂️
Congrats Guys. Keep up the great work.
Thank you
Spray down everything with some PB Blaster and let it sit for some hours
👍

Great it runs, carb look shot, add some fresh plugs and oil. Hope the stern drive works.
We are in the process of looking for a carb at the moment. It is shot!

I love it 👍👍 thank you for the encouragement
Give that carb a few taps with the persuader
😂😂👍
Yeah, what I normally do is get a spray bottle full of two cycle and spray it down in there
I would have just cut the belt Im not even going to finish watching this now
🤷♂️🤔
Why do people think that carb cleaner is flammable. If it was it would be called EITHER. CARB - BREAK CLEAN NOT UNLESS OPEN FLAME
I have run many engines on 2+2 carb cleaner. It works great. Our problem was weak spark.
Hell yeah brother good video
Thank you 👍
Awesome, Before you run it again, try get the drive trimmed down or you'll wreck the UJ's 👍
Yep that’s one of the reasons we didn’t run it long. The trim motor is shot. 🤷♂️
Great video
Thanks 👍
An 8 lb.marine grade hammer might work to get her goin..lol
😂👍
Derek from VGG usually uses a Gatorade bottle that has the sport top
True 👍😂
With some two stroke oil, for the cylinder walls. That carb cleaner is washing the oil out of the cylinders.
Ha guys that's a hornets nest not a wasp nest.
20:58 21:03
I’m not sure I know the difference 🤷♂️ either way I’m glad it was empty
Oh, he drives me crazy. I just keep screaming. Put two stroke 50 to 52 stroke. Pour it down.
your destroying the wiper rings on the piston with that brake clean.
👍 I remembered that somewhere along the line. That’s why I switched to 2 cycle gasoline
Will it float 🤔
We shall find out 🤷♂️
Finally gasoline! If those cylinders and rings had lube they don’t now.
We thought of that after a while 🤷♂️
That wrench in the carb. 😬
😂 it was holding the carb open
Is a boat moter the same as a car motor?
Very similar.
TIMING!
The timing was good. It was a bad condenser in the distributor 🤷♂️
I want a inboard but damn they look so complicated it’s a whole different game then outboard
I like the inboards better 🤷♂️ they are very similar to a car
Pretty much a car engine, but its the things that isnt like exhaust and outdrive stuff that can get expensive...
It’s not as bad as you think
Planning to get one next year. I’ll enjoy the outboard for now
Carb cleaner is not a good starting fluid
👍
Your belts were stopping your engine cos of rust
👍
Many a bay is lined with these cheaply made vessels, thus the name 😅
🤔 we are going to hope ours will stay on top of the water 😁
its turning because it wasnt that bad....like all you guys say when you do these kings of vids...make it sound harder then it is jesus...every single one
🤔
anything else you can do that your not supposed to on this? Well, you might as well be consistent.
😂👍
