Bangka PumpBoat gets chopped off and Yamaha Outboard installed Part 5 LAUNCH TIME 

Nice. Sometimes you get the most satisfaction just standing back and admiring your work

Texas brain w Filipino heart is how we create heaven on earth.

That motor fits perfectly, I thought for sure the transom had to be lowered. Looks like the fastest fishing boat in the neighborhood!

This is a game-changing in Philippines.. Texas idea with Filipino technology.. This could outrun the Chinese coast guard..😂😂 Enjoy keep coming..

WOW !!! I've been wanting to see one made like this since I was a kid. That came out amazing !

Good morning well done,just a little more beautification and all is very good,ready to catch blue Marlin or tuna hehehe

The boat came out amazing! Great job to the crew and to you.

I never thought boat making was an interest but here I am having breakfast absolutely glued to my phone! You learn something new everyday! Great job dude.

Wow very nice Idea!

I would add a safety chain from the outboard to the boat. It slows down theft and stops the motor from going too deep in the water if it comes loose from the transom. Just Sayin

It's great boat man, for me you did it right more news in your boat journey... For sure new to these guys their... Transfer of technology to them a good help for Filipino brothers thanks man

Awesome test launch! & @11:20 thanks! I had tea punched out my nose when you said to! Joel : bye lub lub...'chat me'! Killed me. Lol

Boat looks awesome and what a great idea about the bamboo flooring and seating. I’m sure whatever you design to haul that boat in and out will be something great!!! Coz that’s how you roll…lol. You 😊

That is sweet as, love the video today... looks like fun

Keep on keeping on... The boat is back on the water... "Perfecto" indeed! Just enjoy... 👍😎👍

For the roof shade, buy 2 300 watt solar panels and get a 65 lbs trust 24 volt trolling motor, I have a set up where I can hook up the panel directly to the motor without a battery as long as the sun is out

18 years ago I have Yamaha 40 Enduro and I built a boat like that and upgraded it to having roof from the front to the rear.

Must feel good..I feel proud and it’s not even mine

Looks good sounds good smooth!hope you find the problems. Nice to meet you too in person! Have fun !God bless you and Mel!

Wow so good the machines Yamaha enduro

I hope every tourist banca here in the philippines would be converted like this

The boat performed perfectly nice simple boat easy to put out I think you have a lot of fun

Man, that was a fun video to watch!!

Good job. That machine is cool. It's meant for ocean travel on a boat. It's powerful and more than capable to handle ever changing sea roughness, current and what not.

Fast ass boat! Looks like you can almost water ski behind it! Haha if not pull people on a tube.

James I suggest to checked on shipping some of your favorite personal belongings like used boats and cars in the Philippines without paying taxes.

Sir im a Bisdak in Florida... I tell you... You are absolutely genius.. I thought of that before but never had a chance to do it.. 30 years being away from Philippines sir... You definitely put or have made it stronger to move back home... Thank you ..

This guy can make a huge difference for improvement. Live there, marry there and enjoy your life. Filipinos are easy going and can adapt to friendly foreigners. They can even accept you to their own families!!😝😝😝

Enjoy your fishing bud. The boat looks great!

AMAZING, Nice work on the chopped pump boat , HAPPY 2023 👍😎🚤

Boat is Awesome James worked out Perfectly! 👏😁 Build you two cradles with 4 bicycle wheels 2 on each V cradle one on each side. Put one cradle under the front one under the back and push it ashore then chock it and leave cradles Under it Until U get to the water then take them out and take them back home until U come back from your fishing or pleasure riding. 😉👍

Nice boat launch James. Need to have a life vest jacket ready.

One “Beachside Betty” done and another one to go! Ready to see some actual fishing tales. Great job all all around!

Nice, nice. 👍 Happy new year

So happy that boat worked out perfect, work out the bugs and your all set. Breaking water speed records, enjoy.

I thought you were going to loose that hat out there. Looks great, ton of fun too. huge thumbs up!!!

that was so fun see you riding that boat 😄

Iba talaga magtrabo kayong mga Kano hindi puwede yung wede na. Pansin ko sa mga trabahante mo basta maisalpak na lang without thinking kung anu mangyayari gaya drain plug installation, installation of out board motor at installation of bamboo floor/seats. Mabuhay ka Texas Filipino.

Wow good job.. perfect for fishing..

Got yourself a nice island hopper there!!

awesome job on the boat. My filipina gf is scared of the sun, she says she will get darker. I live 10 minutes from the gulf of mexico and when we go , she takes a huge umbrella lol.

May not be fancy but it has its charm..

first time i saw a bangka fitted with outboard motor.. well done!

James great job. You looked like kid at Christmas.

Such a master builder I learn so much from you James

Good job ! Watching here from Cayman Islands

Not bad at all. Thats nice. Nothing to compare. Great idea. I was thinking 35hp but 25hp is enough.it can handle the boat properly.👍👍👍 Nice job

You two look like a great couple that have a lot of fun together. My little Filipina wife has only been stateside with me a couple months…but we may end up living there before it’s all said and done.

Sana maraming Yamaha OutBoard para marami kang matulungan na mangingisda...ikaw ang pagasa nila Boss Idol "TEXAS FILIPINO"...im Proud of you and your Family..💖💖💖 For helping them..

I missed the rod holders and live well! JK. Nice job James.

Just very new to your channel, this a very good idea, very practical...

i like i!!!!t to fransform this bangka into speed boat nice idea bro

Yeah a good tow boat for the sunray, you think ahead of the nay sayers we'll done

LOVE the way the Boat turned out. Great Colors too. Of Course Cap has to sit up front with a name like CAP ! That Boat is going to be a lot Fun for you all. :)

Excellent results, no pitch or yaw; runs true and the outriggers will guide on the surface after the correction. Next is navigation lighting. 😉

Back in 1990 I was working at the US Embassy Manila and doing a lot of diving at Anilao, Batangas. We had a regular boatman named Max we used but his boat was too small when we started diving with computers and four of us doing three dives per day instead of two. It was also a hassle to negotiate price depending on where we wanted to dive. When we learned Max had built the boat himself we proposed a deal; we would buy all the materials to build a new, bigger 10-meter boat with an upswept bow and square stern like the larger fishing boats. He would build it and work for us for free, then at the end of our tours we would give him the boat free and clear. He came to Manila and I drove with him to Malabon, north of Manila where we sourced a 4-cylinder Toyota Corolla engine / transmission and the stainless steel shafting and plate needed to construct the propeller and rudder I transported in the back of my Pajero SUV. Max had to go to Mindoro to find a log big enough for the keel Every trip there to dive during construction I brought more supplies and in about three months we had a new boat with storage for 18 tanks under the floorboards and plenty of room for as many as six divers. During the planning I suggested we use an Isuzu diesel engine like the ones used in Jeepneys but Max vetoed the idea saying it would be too heavy and take too many people to haul in and out of the water. He also vetoed the idea of a three bladed prop explaining two bladed props were used so they could be turned sideways when beaching the boat, preventing damage. It was a very positive win-win experience. Total cost of materials was under $2,000 and we were spared all the hassles other ex-pats had experienced with theft and lack of maintenance. Max loved the deal because we only used the boat every other weekend and the rest of the time he was free to use it for fishing and transporting other divers. It was a very popular boat because it was the biggest in the area and very sea worthy. We took it from Batangas to Puerto Gallera on Mindoro without any problem.

Looks like a good time enjoy.

Great job my friend 👏. You are living life to the fullest!

Your motor is in perfect position (I watched closely)...... Cavitation plate above the prop should be equal to/a little above the bottom of boat..... Yours is..... Don't forget to bolt that motor on...... As a boat repair shop owner, I've seen many fall off (never to be seen again) when they were only clamped on.... you can extend the tiller handle/throttle, with a piece of pvc pipe.... So you can stand up and drive if necessary/want to.......

Wow. Very beautiful I'm your new friend. ❤❤❤

Wow! That’s the smoothest running Banka I’ve ever seen, only drawback is the outboard is a pain to carry around maybe you should device an outboard roller or carrier with fat wheels that’ll roll out on sandy beaches it’ll make carrying around the outboard easier I guess

Nice boat James...I hope I could borrow your boat someday hehehhe..

The smiles say it all!

that looked like it moves pretty fast lol

Brilliant idea man!

Cant wait to watch you catch n cook,,,wish you more subscribers and more fish to catch👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍾🍾🍾🦑🦐🦀🐟❤❤❤

Wow how i wish i have an outboard motor like that and try it on my bangka ... Good job sir...

So cool my friend.Thats a very good idea.I will do that on my boat too.

Wow so nice bangka keep it up see you Around my friend

Wow.....😱 that is awesome, great job 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

Looks fantastic Congrats! Just some miner Tweeks glad to see it in the water, as I'm sure you are! You have one great Crew also! An now the dream boat👊

This is awesome! I remembered my grandpa made an outboard but didn't have an outrigger on its side.

outboard engine's are nice and smooth,but expensive. not all local fisherfolks can afford in philippines. They choose the less expensive engine for daily use.For fun rides this is a nice set up you've done on local boat design sir.👍

unique idea!☺ subukan ko nga yan pag uwi ko sa amin.😁😁😁

Might be the fuel pump. A new kit should cost around $20. New pump around $90. Fun video.

Cool looking boat.

Love the boat. Great texas engineering.

Speed boat on a traditional designed. Amazing!

It reminds me the outboard motor installed in a bangka boats in the 60s , popular outboard motor is the Evenrude , Volvo penta , Johnson , outboard motor is only avaliable in 2 stroke during that time the price of gasoline went up so we start using a 4 stroke Briggs and Stratton, Wisconsin, Clinton, tecumseh, Kohler engines never heard a Japanese engine with the same size during that time .

Hi there, we use just 2 ballon wheels and a simply axle and just drive the bunka up onto it with motor tilted up a notch it then rolles with just 2 people up the beach in Mindanao no problem

Amen Texas , So cool Love it

yes , that great,,,nice,,,enhanced Philippine version of motorboat with "katig" but now powered by OUTBOARD engine,,,perfect,,, congrats

Ganda,ganyan na sana maging bangka ng ating mangingisda...

You did a good job... We use to have same set up during the 70s to patrol the coastal bays in Marinduque Island to monitor the dynamite fishing

Nice.

Innovation, side console will get you away from the splash. Tiller good but you wannabe right in the middle not much bang bang👍 well done! You have to wear Texas boots and hats😂

Perfect motor bangka usually runs 14cc to 20+ cc . With 25 your good to go make sure you always have emergency paddles and life vest.

That’s wat I love in Philippines no need for fishing license or buy a boat u can customize it anything u like just b prepared for heavy weather

Amazing. Runs great with the outboard,nice idea also with the bamboo flooring too which can be rolled and removed easily.

Nice.. riding the boat Texas style. Salamat bossing.

Damn you got more space for fishing nets at the back that usually unusable due to its space being tak3n by the motor itselt....good job .......

Congratulations, your boat looks very cool!

Happy New Year Ya'll

Wow! so so fast sir...I like the idea of using outboard motor..God bless

Works perfectly and run smoothly

I watch all your videos but don’t often feel the need to comment but that boat is something else . I was enjoying the ride . I may have to make something similar when I eventually retire to bacolod. Just great 😊👍

It's a very nice idea, good job sir

That is a great idea. You're having too much fun.

That’s very cool! Came out real nice!

Hey y'all, great job! That 25hp Enduro sure seems able to push that banka 3 ways to Sunday!
