I remember picking up a vehicle in the mountains, and when I brought it back home, it had the same problem. I brought it from a climate and elevation difference and I had a redo the timing on it something with the climate and elevation messes with vehicles..
HeavyDSparks post link for Symphony of Destruction
There is a badass World War II ship sitting down here at the dock in Seattle that's been refurbished and it still has all of its engines and generators and desalination plants I believe it's for sale
They say you can stay out on the water for years in this boat
Looking for someone to help make an off road wheelchair for my 24 yr old son who has CP. If anyone has any leads it's appreciated. TY!
Alright nice
I'll have you know that driving through those mountain passes in the middle of the night with a tornado of below freezing air coming though my dang turret sun roof opening while in Lake Powell attire was the coldest I have ever been in my life😂😂 sure kept me awake though!!
It builds character lol
Yeah but when I jumped in the cab when we stopped for fuel and felt how hot you had the heater blowing I immediately stopped feeling bad for you.
@@HeavyDSparks serves him right for wearing those steel toe capped flip flops.
Would have loved to have seen that footage Hunter! LOL glad you made it out alive! Hardest working dude on the team. Love seeing you and Alan work together. Cheers!
LMAO! chat between Hunter Goodrich and Heavy D is priceless!
I'm so glad Alan is hanging out with the crew now. Such a cool and genuinely organic interaction. Randomly seeing his compound in the mountain and then having him reach out, then go and see it, and then having him come and provide awesome skills is such a wild story. It's like a book or a movie script.
Seals never operated that boat, Riverines did. We had those RPB’s for putting our RST on the beach. those Yanmar 6LY’s had 440HP each. Also they had ZF marine gear and twin Hamilton jets. I served as a riverine from 2009-2012.
Just missed you i was in from 2012 to 2014 rivron4
So those are the only people that ever operated those boats huh?
04 to 15
SWCCs Operated them, Team guys rode them. That specific boat, #16 was out of Pensacola and VA Beach. Nice ride.
SWCC never operated these boats.
@@mongo5392 never? SOCOM pretty much gets whatever it needs- maybe it was a one-off mission, but these boats have some unique characteristics. cant imagine SWCC not using them. but- sure, possible
Alan is definitely the team addition that you didn't know you needed.. starting to really love that alan character. Lol
Fake comment ^
What's even better is the Alan and Hunter relationship. You can't tell me they don't look like father and son
Now that you mentioned it, Holy s**t
@@harrynelson9203 Reported it.
@@GICK117 nice one, it’s on literally everyone’s comment 👍🏻👌🏻
For those wondering, as I don't recall it being mentioned, The boat is called a "SURC" or Small Unit Riverine Craft, used primarily by US marine NECC and Navy Riverine Squads, got to ride in a few during my days in Iraq, loads of fun with the right person at the helm .... Great Vid!
He mentioned it briefly but didnt really explain it thank you for explaining
SURCs were the older version, this is a Riverine Patrol Boat or RPB for short. I was in Riverine Squadron 2 for the first 5 years they were around and actually was a coxswain and mechanic that whole time too. All the info he puts out is pretty on point except for how he pronounces Riverine. It came from combining River and Marine, Riverine.
@@Otter5000 he mentioned it was a SURC
@@forsakenghost7054 no he didn’t he said what he just corrected him an said smh
He knows nothiing except what youtube says, you are exactly correct, I did make it through 13 weeks of BUDS training blew my knee out, never used any of these large vessels for anything, in our training and throughout my USN career never saw a Seal unit using them, perhaps for limited use, not a staple.
The smiles on Dave just lit me up but what made me appreciate Dave and the crew was how tired the guys looked but STILL grafted their buns off. Determination and passion can really inspire. Keep fizzing guys
I love how you guys just attract some of the best hard working people regardless of the job. Whether it's a cameraman, a video editor, a mechanic, a driver, whatever it is. You find and help grow the best talent in whatever it is.
Who wouldn't want to hang with these guys ... they know how to LIVE
Now that Alan is on the team I'd love to see you guys revisit his unique compound we first saw a year ago that he's been building forever, and help him complete his home!
I would love for them to do that, it would be amazing
I second this!
Yeah that would be very cool
Go to his channel and see, progress is slow but he's plodding away getting it done.
@@ike8236 You're right! I do follow his progress, but I also know HeavyD and the crew could do a year's worth of work in a weekend out there and it would be great to see! Cheers
The mind boggles!! The projects, the equipment, the logistics, the time and the MONEY needed to put these things together is overwhelming!! What a great crew and an awesome bunch of guys!!!
That reverse bucket you were talking about, allows the engines to stay in drive while the boat is moving in reverse.. that way there's no need to physically shift the gears into reverse, you just flip a switch and drop the bucket... saves transmissions/engines and also works incredibly well.
jets have no other way to go astern, you dont reverse by transmisshion shift.
@@MrBugsier5 yeah it's because that reason that the reverse bucket is a thing.. I'm not an expert, that's just basically how it was explained to me by a coast guard.. im also a car guy that doesnt know much about boats in general (probably why the guy explained it the way he did) sorry I didn't explain it correctly.. but thank you for the knowledge.
@@ninja4187 absolutely... there's a perfect explanation video by Destin from "Smarter Every Day" which visited such a CoastGuard boat... Incredible shots of their braking performance as well as a full power start from their station. Stunning!
@@SirAeleon oh ok thank you for that. I'll check it out.
@@MrBugsier5 The same applies to Jet Aircraft...
They also have a folding plate/bucket that redirects the exhaust blast to the front, putting the jet into "reverse", they're used on landing to slow the plane down so you don't rely on the wheel brakes or risk blowing a tire by locking the brakes up...
I work on the water (on a jet boat). The buckets do control forward and reverse. When your moving forward and you flip the buckets(reverse), the buckets simply redirect the flow of water 180⁰. No change in transmission. You can go full throttle to full reverse without damaging tramsmission.
I don't know what your plans for the armour are, but I'm sure Matt at Demo-ranch would love to see what they're actually capable of stopping, and I'm sure he'd love to collab with you 😁
Thanks for watching
Hit me up (Sms) 📌💯🎁👆👆
dont you let matt near that beautiful machine ,he has blown up enough shit already
Those plates can take a beating, just to put the under armor on you gotta use a hydraulic lift and bolt it up onto the truck
They probably just scrapped it all :(. They go threw to much stuff to keep everything that’s cool. Not their fault it’s just how it is.
Alan has been then the coolest addition to this channel. Knows how to work. Knows how to get things done and all around seems like a cool guy to hang with.
Scam
@@Randomperson0467 report all the spam possible TH-cam needs to start cracking down on them
I....100% agree. He is such an awesome guy.
@@brucelarrow7897 come ar me bro
This brings back so many memories! As a Navy Assault boat pilot this was my favorite boat to drive!
What the fuck is a Navy assault boat pilot???
@@mongo5392 research US Navy MILPERSMAN 1220-350 Assault Boat Coxswain (if it is still the same) It will explain what we were and are.
i subscribed to the lost boys before you even told us too! as soon as homeboy walked out of the trailer saying "now thats a drive in movie theater" was enough for me
Absolutely love finally getting to see a more real side of these TV show shops where y'all can decide the narrative for yourselves.
Side note I hope they make marine bed liner cuz the normal stuff has problems holding moisture in trucks, can't imagine it submerged
They do make marine bed liner as that's what I've had installed in a past boat for a floor
A lot of boats just use epoxy to seal stuff up. Works great but you do need 72 for a full cure and that curved surface would be a pain in the ass to coat. Weight might also be an issue since they were trying to reduce the weight on the military boat.
It would also look kind of bad on that boat if I'm honest.
Alan is incredible, I'm looking forward to seeing more videos with him involved!
heavy.D should be known for the best rescue and pick ups I've seen in years and I would love to spend a few weeks with them, but I'm in Sydney Australia. Good luck guys I will try to keep watching. Phil.
Super crazy fun recovery! It was amazing teaming up with you and the crew! Can’t wait for the next one 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
WILL watch everytime. Love the two groups, fantastic human beings, becomming a rear commodity world wide. Be safe all of you.
Always great watching both sides of the Adventure. So glad when you team up with AWP. Never a dull moment
The MK23 is one helluva MTVR for sure... Dependable, Easy to drive & Can haul and rip through about anything... Last that I knew SEAL's didn't use the RPB in their training... The basic use of the boat was for troop transport and ammo transport
Correct. SEALs nor SWCC drove these. Great boats but not SEAL .
@@nsw1959 I for a fact know SWCC coxswains drove these, but there were not in SWCC units. Lol
@@MattB13ok. I was a SWCC. These boats were. USMC boats.
@@nsw1959 well you are partially correct. That is RPB 017 and it was assigned to the schoolhouse, the Navy Riverine Warfare training center to be exact. It was a Navy boat. You were SWCC or an SB? They got their own rating in the mid 2000’s if I recall
@@MattB13 SWCC 5352, The rating came just a little while before I retired. I opted not to convert. Regardless selling it as a SEAL boat is a bit disengenous
I think it's funny you say in every video that's its gonna be the most exciting and entertaining video you've done and it never fails every video you do is better than the last yall did a good thing love that yall are on youtube I watch ever video yall post
Fact
Well thank you sir, I agree 100%, things just seem to keep getting bigger and crazier around here
Facts
@@HeavyDSparks more than welcome man I tell ya what tho I would like to you guys doing some demolition derbys
@@HeavyDSparks y'all should bring that boat to the Niagara river and drive up to the Niagara falls. Could be dangerous.. not sure what type of permit you'd need. But imagine that content..
Best part of my week is watching your videos, you keep me going. Thank you!
Thanks for watching♥️♥️♥️
Hit me up☝️ ☝️
We would like to Appreciate you🎁🎁 🎁
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE !! You go Dad, there's nothing on earth like having a father who is really there and isn't afraid to show how much he cares. Charlie has a bright future.
I love when Diesel Dave gives Heavy D grief in a friendly way. You can tell how much these guys are such good bros.
You guys are awesome, once I get into a new video I can’t stop watching all the old ones! What you do is badass, it’s hard work and no one handles it the way you guys do. Love the content!
I drove those 7 tons in the Marines and man they are amazing. Way more room then any other vehicle and it actually is reliable 🤣
Man I love it when you buy new stuff… it’s always very entertaining; keep it coming! Man I can’t wait for part 2!! Looks like a sunk Pavati
Fake comment ^
I was thinking Pavati as well
Ayo! A collab with Adventures with Purpose? So dope. Really loving the more intricate recoveries.
🙏♥️

I worked for a company that made aluminum versions of these with true bow doors. They could carry small trucks, cars, atv.... you could beach them and they could back themselves off the beach
@heavydspark
Man you guys make everything you do do look like it's the best time ever 😂.. Love every video you do
oh they're having a good time, those dudes are high AF driving the oshkosh truck.
They definitely make hard ass work look fun and sometimes easy! Great video as always
Man, Alan is such a pleasant down to earth dude. So good to have him around
This truck is a Beast!!! I've driven these numerous times while deployed in Iraq and other parts of the world. Pulls Great!!
When Heavy tells D about (in this case the boat) what he wants to do with it, show what he's talking about and don't just frame him and he pointing to what he's talking about! We know what he looks like and would love to see what he's talking about....

Scam
Alan: Hey, wanna come see my remote compound on top of a mountain?
Also, Alan: Hey, can I come work for you and be paid in bags of concrete?
🤣 Relationships like these are genuine and I like it.
My job in the navy was a gunnersmate, my baby was the .50cal. I was a small arms and crewserved weapons instructor! Greatest job ever. 20 years of training with weapons and firing so many damn rounds. Been 10 years since I retired and I miss it still! Your gonna have fun with that boat
Hey so I’ve been looking into the Susan Powell case. Particularly paying more attention to what Charlie the son on the interview tape said about how Susan stayed at dinosaur national park. so I began just researching some parks in Utah and neveda and Idaho. And I came across one named clover camp ground that the trail looks like the shape of a long neck dinosaur on the map. So I had a thought what if Charlie saw the map trail in the shape of a dinosaur? If Charlie saw the trail map of the camp ground as a dinosaur maybe that’s why he called it dinosaur national park. It may not be clover camp ground but what if there’s a park that has their map trail in the shape of a dinosaur. I don’t have very good maps of the campgrounds online that they would provide on site, but I thought it may be something to look into.
This actually sounds like it could have happen 🤔
With all of your equipment you would make a hell of a parade. Every mans dream.
Twin Hamilton jet drives and buckets. Thats a good time as long as your on the water, man i miss being in the navy sometimes.
You were close on the history of that craft. It was originally purchased by the USMC in 2004. It was called a SURC (Small Unit Riverine Craft). It was transfered to the Navy around 2007. I was a FSR for them from 2004 to 2007 which includes 14 months in IRAQ. Reach out if you want to know more about the history. Bye the way, not sure if it was removed already, but the fuel tank compartment had 80% of the armor..
@Mark Anderson - I think we served together for a minute. I was Kilo Company 2nd Battalion in 2004 - 2005....You?
@@TheRealMikeHood I retired from the USMC in March 2004. Then I was picked up by Raytheon as the Field Service Rep. There is good chance we did some work together.
Being an old Navy guy I would love to have a boat like that!!! That thing is SIIIIIIIIIICK!!!!
We bought a 136' navy minesweeper. Lived on it for 5years.

Aint nothing on matts offroad recovery.
That's what the recovery business is all about. Having to rescue the rescue equipment
I guess it takes a long time just to get that boat the way you want it Can't wait to see the next video Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
Cool boat. Can't wait to see you use it. This recovery sounds like big fun.
Iv learnt so much watching you videos from different military vehicles to mechanics to what things do to make things work. Evan the little music clips you editor does, the one that plays at 32 mins love that beat.
I subbed to them.
Their doing more, with less, then the whistling diesel channel that gets millions of views.
I imagine WD has a much younger fan base who spend a lot more time watching YT.

Refreshing the Anti fouling might have been a wiser first fix.
Careful with the Deal Dash. I went to set up an account to look at what they had. I accidentally bought bidding credits for $78. I don't know if it is just the time of day, but it all seems like junk on there to me.
Deal dash is a total scam... you spend all the money on the bids then hope you are the last sucker to "bid" on the junk they are pushing... this is a great channel and the trash sponsor needs to go.
Hi Rob, we would be happy to assist you with this. Please reach out to as as soon as you can. 🙂
Hey Dave, you do realise that amperage doesn’t really matter with regard to working on or near the water, voltage is more important. So changing the alternators from 24 volt 500 amp, to 24 volt 80 amp has no effect on safety, it just means that they do not put as much load on the engines which makes them more efficient
It is the amps that are most harmful. They say under 50 volts, with less amps is safer. Granted you need volts to create any power, but in theory what he did is better in case of any accidents.
You could get hit with a million volts as long as it's under half an amp. Get hit with 100 volts with 100 amps would be a totally different story. Voltage is not what kills ya amperage does
@@nickcollins1528 what I meant was that he is still running 24 volt, it only takes about 50 milliamperes across your heart to kill you. If a fault or accident occurred the smaller 80 amp output would not be any safer, they just take less engine power to run so would be a bit more efficient. I doubt it would even be noticeable with those 500 hp engines running Hamilton Jets. Efficiency is not really the goal here, performance is what that setup is aiming for.
You are all forgetting one thing, it has a lead acid battery powered 24volt supply which can easily output hundreds of amps, I mean it starts those two big diesels so it can probably easily supply 300 cranking amps if not more! 🤷♂️
@@grahamstretch6863 my point exactly, changing the amp output of the alternators doesn’t change the voltage of the system. DC voltages up to about 50 volts are relatively safe with regards to electrocution, AC systems even a little higher. This is why 48 volt DC is common in off grid solar / battery systems. My initial comment relates to changing the alternators to a lower current output won’t make the system any safer, just slightly less load on the engines.
U guys are real legit heros for real
I'm new to your channel and have maybe watch so far 10-15 episodes and I just want to say if this world had more people like the ones on your crew it would be a wonderful place....keep ip the awesome content...I worked 40 years building houses from georgia to Minnesota but now days I'm laid up getting a new body lol new knees and hips and shoulder so I'm in need of good content to watch..
@heavydspark
This sponsor seems kinds sketch Heavy ngl.
Dig seeing more of Alan with you guys
Probably get great deals on tvs that are warranty nightmares nobody else will sell, and the like. Or youre bidding on amazon returns that dont look physically broken.
Symphony of Destruction has changed channel names!!! It's called Lazy Eye Ranch just for anyone who is looking for them
Heavy D you and Deisel Dave (your brother) make absolutely bad ass, amazing video's if I wasn't on disability I would love to come and visit and see all your gear and vehicles. You guys please, please keep up the good, NO, fantastic work!
They are not brothers just friends who met in the church.
Hope we get to see the recovery soon.
Go Navy!!!!

36:48 Marine grade 2-stroke oil does an amazing job at cleaning diesel fuel systems too. It can clear out a really bad misfire.
Their TH-cam name changed apparently i cant find symphony of destruction
Their youtube channel is Lazy Eye Ranch now, you're welcome.
@@realuncertain thanks 😊 I found it by the thumbnail of the bus lol
I don't know if you've thought of this but that boat would be a great platform for a handicap accessible marine experience.
As the boat began moving, I could hear The End playing, and I had the distinct feeling Colonel Kurtz would make an appearance.
I’m happy to see finally I’m not the only one to see ATF being used in a diesel. Good work guys and as always great video!
36:14 if you don't have a filter, an old trick is to take it off, dump like about a shot cup of fuel out of it and then cup the top and shake it like it's a shake, then make the quick bottle drain trick and dump it all out. It doesn't always work, but in most cases i've been able to limp it a few km doing this trick. On stuff like our dozer, it lasts even longer.
I worked for an electrical company in Virginia Beach Va . We had a great relationship with the US Government specifically the Naval Warfare unit where they upgraded Rigid Hull Inflatables for all the goodies!! And mainly repairs of boats that had been shot up in overseas operations. Being able to be there at different times to see what our teams were working on in the facility. I saw some incredible weapons platforms replacing gun mounts to adapt them for the seal platoons preferences!!!! Way cool! Watch ur channel everyday keep up the great work!!!! You guys are very talented!!
Considering how robust the rear is, i'd make a cantilever platform that extends the rear of the boat and drops it under the water by at least 20~25 cm. When in transit (by water) it would be raised at 45 degrees, and if you make it out of stainless stretch plate (the stuff with holes in it) it wouldn't even drag. For transit by trailer, it would be flipped over in the drive area and out of the way. If the body's aluminium pipe with gussets, it shouldn't be motorized, one big fella would be enough to flip it and lock it in place. For diving stuff, it would be the dream deployment platform because it's flat, under water, and easy to flip yourself on it. You wouldn't be able to do this kind of stuff with any other boat you'd buy. But this one's got an oversized booty and a solid one at that, so it's perfect for this kind of stuff.
I built a charter boat in 2000 with almost the same exact engine / jet setup, except Vosper Thornycroft Jet and no transmision. Ours was a catamaran with the engines spaced about 9 feet apart. It was wicked manuverable. Because of the leverage the wide engine spacing gave us, it could go sideways at 4 knots, and spin in its own length. Made parallel parking impressive. As well as all of the manuvers yours can do.
I don't know what you paid, but I had $125 K in the driveline alone. In 2000.
36:35 the shocking mimic back there got me. 🤣
absolutely one of the best military trucks ever put to work. driven them in Afghanistan, Africa, Spain, and all over the US, cant be beat. Jumped one in Africa about 4 feet up, and unknown distance bounced twice and kept going like it was nothing. about 50mph. problem is if you crash or roll. the cab is all thin aluminum and offers ZERO protection. and all the metal edges in that cab are sharp.
The wizard used his magic powers to understand electrical voltage and made sure heavy d & The Boyz and girls don't get killed that is a true wizard. That is a gentleman that you always will have come off the bench. And then you realize why wasn't he starting from the beginning😂😂😂😂
I worked as a heavy equipment mechanic for several years and a buddy/ co-worker was formerly a mechanic in the army corp of engineers. He preached filling the fuel filters with ATF when you changed them. It is a high detergent lube job on mechanical injection motors.
Those SAFE Boats are so badass! Even cooler those SAFE Boats are built 15 miles from my house! It's so cool to see them testing them in the Puget Sound!
For a GREAT example of how this boat works, watch Act of Valor. When the boats come in to pick the team up after they ditch the pickup in the river, that’s what these were built for.
Riverine patrol boat length is 38 feet Twin Yanmar 6LY2A-STP diesel engines, 440 bhp 35 knots (65 km/h) cruise which is 40 mph, 39 knots (72 km/h) sprint which is 44 mph
Dave "behind this Foam is another steel plate, which would stop like a .50 cal"
Matt Carriker enters chat....
"Today on demolition ranch..."
Dave, I just spent 3+ hours watching your personal boat recovery. I am an avid follower of Jared and Doug. Since the episode in which you assisted AWP I have also been watching a lot of your own videos. That being said, I feel the need to touch on all the asshats that are trying to say you sunk your boat for profit.
I fully understand your being pissed off and to tell ya the truth, you're a much better man than I for I wouldn't be able to hold my tongue...
Don't let it get to ya, my friend. Haters will ALWAYS be haters and they all belong where your boat was. 100 feet down spending eternity with Neptune!!
Keep doing what your doing. It's awesome work!!
I ran those boats in 2 deployments to Iraq. 2007-2008 and 2009. Riverine Squadron II, glad to see someone is using our RPB's (SURC) since the Navy got out of the Brown Water business.
@heavydspark
I actually was a gunner on a SURC (Small Unit Riverine Craft) in 04 I had a M134 and a 240G as a backup. It has twin 440HP Yanmar engines powering it, can go around 40 knots and can stop in one boat length. Enjoy owning it and just make sure everyone hangs on because it can turn and stop on a dime.
tip for boating at night is to have little to no light in front of the skippers position and give yout eyes a few minutes to adjust to the dark or low light.
Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all
God bless
Hi HeavyD my son loves your vid’s keep up the good work.
You should give those armor plates off the boat to DEMOLITION RANCH TO TEST!!!!! Matt would love em!!! 💪
“Tow whatever we need to tow” just wait for the houseboat recovery🤣
I would absolutely keep that GAU warning plaque, original as it is, no restoring or painting, an rivet it somewhere on the boat. Perhaps the dash. Maybe cut a small square of ballistics a little bigger than the plaque itself, an then rivet it on the dash for a bit of nostalgia.
That MTVR pulled 16000 lb howitzers loaded with 100lb artillery rounds. It’s a beast-
My Hinckley picnic boat uses the exact same running gear. 36’ only you can drive it using a joystick. You twist the knob to steer, 3 modes. Docking , power steering and helm. Docking when you stop pushing the stick forward or backwards the jet shoots straight down so it makes it great for maneuvering. If you hold the stick port or starboard and push forward then back, forward and back it will turn in its own radius. It has bow thrusters too but you don’t need them. If you ever make it to the coast of Maine I’ll let you try it out if want a tour of the area.
"We're keeping the rails!"
They're called "lifelines" for a reason.
Where's Oscar ... Ask him.
have seen this one before and this is the first time the diesel Dave in the background making choking motions while heavy D is explaining the fuel filter problem
I’m hoping that Heavy D will read this and consider giving me a hand finishing my 1967 Chevy truck build. I have been working on truck for a decade or more but have had a lot of tragedy, physical pitfalls and individuals offering some sought after expertise only to start to help then flaking out leaving things worse than when they started. So Heavy D if you if you read this and would be willing to take the time to see if you could help me out I would be forever in your debt. I’m running out of time and resources and need to move soon, I’m located in Payson recently disabled and getting pushed further into a corner and about to crack. I have been very impressed with your intelligence, capabilities and demeanor. Hope to here from you soon, Kwynn Tomlinson
Those Symphony of Destruction guys are "Lazy Eye Ranch" now if anybody tried finding them.
hahaha that smile on your face HD is Epic! New Toy Play!!
Someone was thinking when they took all that valuable AR500 steel off the boat before selling. I bet that much armor plate would be hefty chunk of change. Would have been awesome to still find it on there but I can understand why someone removed it before selling.
You By Far Have Some Of The Most BADASS Toys I Have Ever Saw. And do so many Good Samaritan and Environmental Things With Them. Thank You.
Man it's killing me to see you taking all that off that boat!
But that's the military in me there.😂
Man I would love to be part of your crew. I just started a a job as a entree level heavy machinery mechanic and I absolutely love it. But doing what you guys get to do everyday I would be in heaven!!!
