A good few have asked about a Boat Rescue, it was time we attempted one! This is the first time I've had my hands on a boat in over a year, since I left my job as a boat mechanic! I purchased this one from an estate a while back and figured it would be fun to have some other great fellas join in! I really hope you all enjoy! Thank you all, as always, for the love and support!

The tree blowing in the wind was hilarious!
🤪🤪
I thought so too 🤣
Sorry about all my corny Dad jokes but thanks for having me!
That’s the fun part! 🤣😂
Excellent joke Rev :) got one for you what did Spark plug say to the Spark Wire ? Spark Plug said Spark Plug Wire we going have a big lock snapping of time tonight and anytime also don't fail now !
Hi, would You provide the link for the carb cleaning video?
Such a fun time. Thanks for letting me tag along!
Most definitely! It was a great time!
I bought a 45 year old boat off craigslist for a grand. It was in awful shape. I wet sanded the entire boat and waxed and buffed to a mirror shine. I tore out the old carpet and seats and glued new carpet and put new fabric on all of the seats. I made a new bimini and fitted top on my sewing machine. I rewired everything and then rebuilt both carbs, rebuilt the fuel pump, new water pump and resealed the lower unit, and then repainted the motor 85 evinrude. The boat looks brand new. I did some research a discovered that only 50 of this boat was ever made. I've had several people offer me as high as $25k for it. But I'll never sell it, it's always the talk of the dock. It's the first boat I've ever done and I learned everything watching videos like yours. Thank you! I got my dream boat for a grand and 1100 in new parts.
at 29:00, the boat's flying...and the view of that shredded, beat-up chair is the perfect summary of a cool project
Wow that Yamaha didn't need too much after 18 years - not too bad! Pretty cool to see that old boat up on plane again. I'd definitely like to see the rest of the boat get restored as well!
Good ole Yamaha! Thanks! Can’t wait to share more!
She sounds healthy. Can’t believe she floats after all them years of sitting. Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Thanks so much as always!! Can’t wait to get the boat dialed in as nice as the motor 😊
@@BudgetBuildz You’re welcome and yep can’t wait to see it as well 👍🏻
@@BudgetBuildz what did u do with the boat ?
I like how he went through the motor taking it one step at a time, impressive.
Brilliant fun. Engine came round quick for one that’s sat 18 years
Thanks! 😃😃 Good ole Yamaha 2 stroke 👌
I sure miss my 17' Boston Whaler with a 15hp Honda Trolling Motor & 65hp Mercury Outboard...
Trolling the South Puget Sound with my Brother was the best of times 8years ago. We may have caught fish, but we had a grand time!
You guys did a wonderful job on that old boat. Can't wait to see it all cleaned up!
Thank you! Can’t wait to get it all cleaned up!
@@BudgetBuildz Did you ever get it all cleaned up?
Man oh Man my favorites on the same show Ole Rev and Budget Buildz. the channels I watch to relax. Amen to this.
Love that you took it from sitting to ripping with the vegetation and all. Made me laugh can't wait for the full detail vidya. Nice work men
😁😁😁 Can’t wait to share, I think the ole gal will surprise! Thank you 😃
I will bet Rev brought his tackle box looking to do the first week testing. Hank barely needed his left handed metric crescent wrench. Nice.
Very cool. Owned a McKee for years. Best boats ever made. Unsinkable
What a great idea to do a restoration in conjunction with two other channels to speed up the job. Well done y’all.
Thanks!!
What is the guy that rebuilt the carburetors channel? @budget buildz
Headed over to hanks channel to check it out! That weed still being there is HILARIOUS! hahahaha. Great video.
Can't wait for the full restoration of the boat. Great job guys.
Thanks so much! We’re in the process of getting it knocked out!
Those v4 & v6 carb'd yamaha's are some of the most bulletproof motors ever made...I've had a couple over the years & they've been nothing but perfect.
I restored a very similar boat, got a season out of it, one day I was heading home and hit a wave and the fiberglass cracked in the back and it sank quick. Super scary almost died, careful with old sitting boats, even if you don’t see any dry rot
Budget Build in 2031: Will this forgotten space shuttle fly after 20 years?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😁😁 You know it!!
Michael, Your timing is crazy... I am literally getting ready to go get a rescue boat.... Enjoyed this one....Keep it up bud
😃😃 awesome!! Thank you, glad you enjoyed 👌
The first floating green house lol, paint it in camouflage bro, I've enjoyed this having different things to restore.
🤣🤣 it’s camouflage for real currently! Glad you’re enjoying!
I used to own a Boston whaler with that exact motor on it man when you fire that thing up it brought back a whole Lotta of memories I always loved Yamaha motors and it sounded fantastic when you opened it up way to go guys 👍🏼
I love this all family friendly channels thanks guys
I love how y’all are ripping around a lake in a boat with plants growing in it. 🤣
Great video. Thank you for this and Revstoration's video on how this motor was revived. Look forward to seeing how the boat gets cleaned up next.
It’s awesome to see you bring friends from other channels to new adventures 👍
Next budget buildz project, can we get this WWII Aircraft Carrier working again with a screwdriver and adjustable wrenched.
🤣🤣 I’ll put my hands on just about anything mechanical!! I’d have a stab at that! 😃
@@BudgetBuildz how much to buy the boat? Great video!
Hanks voice on a boat video just takes some getting use to! Great video guys!
the best part of this is going 33 mph on the lake with a live tree growing in the boat. Nice work guys.
It never freaking fails. Same thing with my boat it starts on a dime sitting in the damn driveway you put it in the lake and it turns and turns in charge it’s just absolutely insane
Bahaha right 😂 They’re so different with backpressure sometimes!
Waay Too Cool💯🤙🏻 My Favorite Part Was The Weed Still Growing And Having Fun With You Guys😁😆 Love It!!
I always enjoy the ...Yu-hu-huuu of rev.Dave. Love to see you guys having fun together bringing "dead" things to life. Yu-hu-huuuu.....😃
Thank you for this beautiful restoration. For me in France it would be a dream to come across this type of boat. Looking forward Pierre 👍🛥️
That's something different, completely cool though,good to see Hank on the channel 😁,great video, can't wait to see the full detail of the boat 🤙🏻
We love anything mechanical! 😃 Thank you! Can’t wait!
That’s the Beaty of old two bangers. A little bit of love and they’re going to go forever!.
A 2 stroke v6?!?! Thats awesome!
sounded nice after the initial startup after those years
Nice project! Note that if you have loose stuff within the boat when going 40mph, it might fly over the side :)
The shrubbery blowing in the wind was a great touch, I’m sure other boaters thought you were nuts
I want to get into my first restoration project so TH-cam I went. I’ve already learned a lot thx to your videos! Thank you! Keep up the cool content!
Awesome!! Thanks so much! Sorry it’s taken so long to get the full rebuild uploaded. We’ve gotten the new transom in and will have an update on it very soon!
This is good stuff, and I love that sparkplug joke - I’m gonna steal it. So we need more videos from you guys. This one is a year ago.
Those old McKee Craft boats are odd looking, especially the little ones, but there is a lot of boating history behind them, and they are usually worth saving.
i just purchased a '85 17 footer . I've always wanted one !!!!!
Found it hilarious that there are bushes growing in your boat.... classic!
Great video
I love trying to bring back a old solid boat. Can’t wait to see the clean up and repairs
Thanks
Guess I'll have to check out Hamiltonville Farm. His videos seem to be similar to Diesel Creek. Already watch Rev.
For sure! Good stuff 👌
Watch you and the Rev all the time!
I was picking up an old sewing machine and while out behind the house I saw the tip of a boat and trailer poking out of a bunch of brush. It was an Arkansas Traveler 14’ runabout. Very cool little lapstrake hull design, but the interior was destroyed. After the owner telling me if I could get it out of there I could have it, I went to work trying to get it out. Evidently, bees like boats, lol. A LOT of bees living in there after sitting there for over 30 years along with the probably 10 generation mice. The vintage Evinrude was destroyed by mouse urine so I found an old Mercury Classic 50 to match up the horsepower. After fully restoring the whole thing, I had myself a BEAUTIFUL little vintage runabout that grabbed attention everywhere I took it. I think my favorite thing about it was that early 1960’s turquoise and white steering wheel and the cool chrome part designs all around the boat. Very cool and a lot of fun.
Love the vegetation flopping in the wind!
Yes! A follow up.. I follow all these channels. Thanks Budget Buildz!
That was great, guys. A boat on the water. Brought back wonderful memories. (Was that hat a Tilley?)
Glad you enjoyed!! 😃 yes, yes it was!
*I'm a new subscriber that came here on a recommendation from RevStoration.*
Wao i filled happy at the speed moments, thanks guys you are greats guys wao awesome! Yeaaaaaaa!
Man that was awesome.Im refurbing a 2000 Hydra Sport 18cc. 115 Jonny on the back. Powdersville here ! 18 mile is a beautiful area.
YOUR IN MY BACKYARD..I CANNOT BELEIVE IT.....THE WEED BLOWING WAS FUNNY....I LIVE ACROSS THE LAKE ON CROOKED CRK....
Impressed by your working knowledge of the Yamaha
i seen you with rev and hank thats good enough for me i subscribed from ontario canada
That’s some snappy boat working music.
Love that hull shape. Great little bay boat🎥😎👍
Need y’all to come do a rescue revival on my 76..🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
I have a 1988 McKee craft offshoreman. Center console... it would be an awesome Lil boat when fixed... it was actually given to me...
you did an amazing job there, brought that beauty back to life.
You guys should pot the plant and keep it onboard as a mascot
If they're all at a hundred then you have a harborfreight pressure gauge or cheap pressure gauge that doesn't have a Schrader valve built into the hose.
Yeap! Reads about 15psi low lol..Seems my “nice” one is constantly getting swapped out under warranty. Would love to find an old school Mac or something!
Good video, Yamaha make great outboards … we use them on our diving support vessel .. the only thing I would had done differently, would be pulling the air intake cover just in case those pesky mice had been in there, before cranking, to avoid getting crap sucked through the reeds .. the engine was really on song .. good job 👍🏻
That rabbit pickup is badass!!!
How Awesome was that! Cool Ride along, now ya gotta fix it up!
Love the Aussie 🇦🇺 brand, Kincrome screwdriver you have at (8:50)
Keep up the great work!
It's a Yamaha, OF COURSE it will run!!
Looks like a boat load of fun to me!!! 😂😂😂😂
Didn't realize you were in the upstate! I'm over in the Norris area myself. I was at mile creek a couple weeks ago. Nice boat, I need to find me one like that.
I'm telling you from my experience with Yamaha replace the thermostats and water pump pull the prop and check seal for fishing line drop the lower unit oil and replace fill & drain plug gaskets ect.
GREAT VID CAN`T WAIT TO SEE HER ALL DONE UP AND LOOKING GOOD!!!!
love that sound of the boat
I love the tree still in the boat lol 😂
Ive resurrected motors that sat many years..... If you want the motor to last you do it right.
Oil cylinders before you even try to rotate it by hand. Spray fogging oil into the reeds.
Pull the plugs if it won't rotate Easily by hand is rusted in place and you're going to have cylinder damage, at that point you might as well trash it .. because it's not going to last.
Pull the heads and inspect the cylinders.
Clean the water jackets and replace water diverters.
If there's any water pressure gauge pickup tube it will need to be replaced
Reassemble the heads with new head gasket and water gasket.
Replace every part of the fuel system . Fuel pumps, every hose part, primer system, filters.
Drain and clean the boat's fuel tank. Make sure there's no obstructions in the vent, no dirt, bugs.
Now clean and rebuild the carburetors.
Change the water pump impeller and the thermostats. Pressure test the lower unit and replace any seals that need to be replaced on it.
Crank it on 25:1 premix ... Let it idle for the first hour.
Now you can go run it gradually increasing rpm.... For 5 to 10 minutes at a time..... Still running it on 25:1.
After about 2 hours of running, run at wot on 50 to 1.for 30 min. You're probably good if no problems.
You going to need new battery of course to do this.
You will spend $800..... To bring an old outboard back to life that's worth $800. Outboards are very well lubricated, they can sit for years without problem. But all the peripheral systems fall apart.
What most idiots do, is trying crank immediately..... Which damages the cylinders . Then they try and run it with crudded up carbs and it runs lean.
People destroy; old motors everyday out of sheer laziness.
I had a 17 foot one with a center cancel. I had a Johnson GT 150 on her. Was the best for waterskiing and tubing.
22:02 - lol, that dog is a shadow-chaser.
I’d love to see this thing cleaned up and restored aesthetically.
Bout damn time for some boats 😀. Can’t wait to see this boat back on the water!
Hold up they didn't even hose the interior off I LOVE IT ! 🤣
Bimini looked in too good of shape, something ain't right.
At first, I thought that "Mr. Stoney Ridge Farms" was there to assist you with this boat!
Maybe next time!
The little tree flopping in the wind lol!!!!
20:22. "Crescent wrench". " Crescent" was one of the brands of tools made by the Cooper Group. Their adjustable wrenches were famous worldwide. Some of their other brands were Lufkin measuring tapes, Nicholson files, Weller soldering irons, Xcelite mechanic tools among others. Trinidad & Tobago.
Well Done Video You All 3 guys did excellent work on Boat plus motor too also enjoy your all team work work too!
Love the fact that the weeds and plants were left inside as youre tearing up the lake. lol
Awesome. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Hope the DNR doesn’t show up at your house for running an “un-registered” boat on Mile Creek lake. Can’t wait to see the interior and exterior clean up and restoration.
Thanks so much!! It’s registered 😃 I just had the new stickers in the glove box! Can’t wait to share!
Mind boggling why someone would just let a beauty like that just sit and rot away! Can't beat a Yamaha! Can't wait to see that baby in it's new tux! Oh yeah, and whatever became of the Hilux? I've been looking for one like that to restore! Had one years,ago identical to the one you got, same color and all! Loved that little truck! Love to find another one! Kudos men! Watched all 3 of your boat vids!
This rescue is of particular interest to me, as I am wanting to find something very similar and make it my own! I am retired now and always wanted a boat here in Florida, but was always just too busy! Over 30 years as a Police Officer and I am ready to relax! Whatever happened to the rest of this boat rescue???
Good job on that motor! Great video too. I grew up camping at Mile Creek. Cool to see someone representing upstate SC.
that ole 150 sounds good. could use a little more horse power with all three of you in it. install the complete intake and carbs from a 200hp. its a bolt on and will increase the hp. it will run almost like a 200hp. exhaust ports and compression holds it back from being a 200.
Bro I’m actually Vibing with this video I’m restoring a 1978 thunderbird
My best friend and I have had a 1976 Charge deck boat that we have intended to restore for 4+years. Your video inspires me to actual get something done. Have you ever repaired stringers?
She runs good for sitting for 18 years! 😁👍
So awesome to see good wholesome Christian people coming together to enjoy gears and horsepower! Great family entertainment!
Praise Allah
seen a bunch of mckee crafts through the years but they almost always were center consoles, this is the first time i have seen one with dual consoles
Friend had one & got to the Mangrove Snapper holes , as good as my 15' Sport Whaler. Solid Boat .
Those trees blowing inside the boat 😆
That weed is having the time of his life
