I have a 1990 seadoo sp but the guy told me he put regular in it and blew it up so I’m wondering are they supposed to run regular or mixed fuel? It’s now rebuild that’s why I’m asking
I don't see why you couldn't run regular, I've run both. He might have blown his up due to a failed oil pump, maybe starve the engine of oil? Not sure, but it doesn't make sense that it would blow up just using regular
I had a 1967 I believe it was it moved with 25 and 35 we put a used 40 yamaha short foot on it the first day we tried the motor I hit 35 with the gps and then found out the plugs where bad when I changed the the hual shot out the water so quickly and got up to 39 the next day my dad went bought a brand new 50 for his boat so I couldn't leave him behind as easily when we went fishing 😂😂 I miss that boat it was a great boat.
@Project2Potential I'd probably hit 45-50 with a 50 on there you'd definitely be the first at the good fishing spots 🤣🤣 my dad knew a guy that put a 75 on his and put all the controls in the center and turned it into a racing boat he said the back of the boat was all that would ever touch the water thats the only time I've ever heard my dad say he'd be scared to drive something 🤣
Bom dia, veja o vídeo ( fly brasiliense), homem não usa compensado para o espelho de popa e nem madeira para fazer a estrutura da caverna do barco ( ele tem um canal no RU-vid ( fly brasiliense).
A little late to the party.. but, what kind of fiber glass resin are you using? Looking to make similar repairs but have not worked with fiberglass before.
haha welcome to the party! glad you could join, for this part I used the Total Boat 5:1 Epoxy mixed with wood flour and White Glass Microspheres. I bought them on amazon
i have the same ski it’s turning over but won’t start fuel tank is clean so is the oil tank both are running through the fuel lines just can’t get it to start help please
I would start at the carburetor. Give it a thorough cleaning. Also remember these jet skis are naturally hard to start, I have to pull the choke and pin the throttle while turning it over for a good 20 seconds before it starts.
@@isakvikstrom2743 It could potentially be so many things, I couldn't tell you right off the bat. But I'd run through and check the Coil, stator, kill switch, safety harness switch, bad grounds, bad spark plugs, bad wiring.
I just finished binge watching your series on this boat. I myself have a 1969 model of this exact same Silverline Swift boat with a 1969 Evinrude Ski Twin 33 hp motor on it. I watched to see what the guts of your boat looked like and what you had to do to fix it. It was very illustrative what all you found. And your boat turned out fantastic. By the way, my boat still has its data plate and I found some sales brochure information on this boat. It’s factory rated for up to 50 hp. I bet you would get a bit more spunk with an upgrade and maybe 35 mph out of it with a lightweight 50hp. The previous owner I bought the boat from water skied with their whole family on board. I was skeptical, but I see you also were able to ski behind the boat. This is a great looking boat out on the water. Mine is the original aqua blue deck and interior with the sand color (kinda a seashell soft white) hull. The Evinrude is the dark semi metallic blue with the white engine cover with the red Evinrude decals and the blue carburetor and pull starter access door on the front. It came with electric start. I too still have the original windshield and it looks great. Do you still have the boat or have you moved on to something else?
That's great! It'd be cool to see pictures of your boat, I also saw a brochure advertising 50 horsepower for this boat. My 1994 40 horsepower though does a pretty good job keeping this boat at speed even with four people in it. I do plan on selling it soon though, but it's all about finding the right buyer. This is more of a unique boat that not all people would really appreciate. Thanks for watching all the videos eh. If you ever have any questions? Feel free to email me at project2potential@gmail.com
The 14 foot is the gunwale length. Not the centerline length. Measured from the front along the rub rail to the transom. That will get you your 14 foot length. Or close enough to it. It was a common way to measure boat length at the time.
I have a trihull with fiberglass floor I just picked up for very cheap but has soft spots and I’m terrified watching this vid. It’s a 1973’ 14ft. Feeling like giving up before I even pull the floor up.
Hey man, I know the feeling! To be honest, after I tore my floor up I almost brought the boat to the dump. I was really discouraged. But I'm so glad i pushed through the rebuild and didn't scrap it. If you decide to go through with your floor repair you can email me at project2potential@gmail.com if you have any questions. Also where are you located? If your close enough maybe I could come to help.
That's a good question, the engine has definitely added the most weight, It performs well though. I often think it's a little overkill and should perhaps downgrade to a smaller short shaft motor. But that's also a lot of work and money haha.
Make sure you dont start flowing water until it is started and stop the water before you shut it off… Its really bad to have water running without it running
i watch the whole series and wow i have been looking to get into my 1960 mfg and u have showed me a little more then other videos I have watched learned lot's wish I could post a picture in comments of what my boat looks like but good job sir great work looks amazing would like to know where u got some of the stuff for yours so i can add to mine little bit jealous there guess i better hit the internet harder
This is actually so cool! Very satisfying cleaning process. Also love the comments from Michaela and Jayce Jayce: "this is the muffler" Luke: "no it's definitely not the muffler" 😂
Yes sorry, I remember my camera battery died while I was filming the steering system installation. Which is why there's little details of it unfortunately.
