Custom Bangka with Yamaha Outboard gets Upgrades Riding in Style 

Hey James.. It's good to see you and Cap out living it up in the boat. Some nice upgrades you did there.

As a filipino your innovative ideas are so amazing and you're doing it with diy, it's rare to see it here in ph, i immediately subscribed you're my hero man. Someday I wanna live like what you did.

I'm thinking in a year you will have a 150 horse on her....

Don’t you ever slow down ?

I’m really amazed by how much knowledge you have about so many different things. It’s all I can do to remember not to move my lips when I’m reading to my self.

Now that all is done, it's time to get your line wet and see what kind of Fishman you're .

Pretty sweet conversion. Wonder if it's possible to improve the dryness of the ride. That thing was flying. lol

i have a love for boats and doing foolish things

I noticed in a previous video that you were locking up the motor swing when underway, only lock the motor flip when you have to reverse. This will allow the motor to swing up if you run aground or hit a submerged floating log or fishing net, ect. Otherwise, if you hit some sort of obstruction while underway you risk ripping the engine and/or transom right off of your boat. Just sayin

ie ie Captain thar she Blows matey .Man ole Cap was hanging on with a big grin above his chin when you were letting it rip tater chip . Brother that was a neat little conversion Po .I bet it does make steering it alot better than from the helm . After planing out you were skipping right along .It would be interesting to me as to how fast you were going. Maybe next time if you will use your phone & let us know what her top end is Kuya . Man that was a really cool ideal to use the beach sand as a sanding agent you come up with some dandy ideals James . So keep on letting it happen Captain . God bless & Mabuhay 😊.

Its cheaper doing this instead of shipping a used 18 or 20 footer. Thank you

Nice job James, love it. All you need now is a speedometer, see haw fast that thing will run! Just a thought 😊

Hi, James... Wow! The result is amazing with all the upgrades and modifications for that cool little boat! It's now so much more capable for scooting around the area quickly and witth comfort for you and the pax as well... It'll handle a lot too me thinks... Fishing, pleasure runs to close islands, snorkeling trips, and just out running like you've shown... Congrats and Holy Cow, I wanna take a ride in it when I finally make my way to your location... Good job...FWIW... I think you'd have made it in Northern Minnesota in spite of the inclement weather (as in COLD)... We've got a lot of locals there that have done similar things to their boats (for hunting, fishing, water skiing, etc.)... Puttering around boats is a hobby up there too... Just keeps you closer to the water, so much life when underway in and around the sea/lake... Nice! 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍

Put some planks on your side so you can stand on it

See you put Old Cap holding down the front end😂.

good idea about the sand and grease sounds like the hillbilly methods i use

Oh wow that looked like fun, my ray is excited for you, controls now he says totally cool, me it's great . Ohh by the way your best friend cap enjoyed it with you . That's friendship at its best.😊

Suckn gas and hauln azz the boat is definitely cool.

Awesome! Need a little windshield like motorcycle. Outstanding Job, Now you can travel around faster & nearby islands!

That was so sweet of you to take Cap out for a sunset boat ride........lol.......jk. Nice job there James.

Awesome .... Very Cool... Boyz and their Toyz...

Man, that turned out really nice!!

Boat looks like it was well balanced, very smooth, and with very little wake. Great job!

That was really cool, Id like to have one for myself.

wow, the power of Yamaha engine is obvious..

how fast will she go?

You make it l👀k do easy.

17:55 lol when I saw this my mind immediately went to “where’s the turn signal?”

Hi James. I guess those islands are called the Faroe Island. Half way from Scotland to Iceland. I was born there 70 years ago and still have family there. Many Filipinos lives there married to Faroese fishermen 😊

I started replacing my steering cable before this freezing weather moved in, I was stuck after cutting the middle of the cable, it is stuck both at the outboard AND the steering wheel. I need to figure out its total length and then buy the cable and steering yoke. Any brands you recommend?

Your the man😊😊😊

Hey James merry Christmas to you all there. I thought you were going to redo the bamboo outriggers also. Love the boat setup for sure

James, Robert here. I arrive in Iloilo tomorrow and would like to meet you at some point soon when your schedule permits for insight on purchasing a car, scooter and long term housing etc…and would like to pay you for your valuable time.

I wouldn't hesitate taking that thing all around.

Excellent work with the boat! 😎🤙

Nice little setup on on your philippine jet boat lol.

Remember to put life jackets in the boat 😊

That’s a smooth riding boat ❤

Awesome 👏

g-day all

Very cool! What a nice upgrade! Once you get to speed, how much rise being on-plane happens?

👍👍

Banka 3.0 Great job.

The boat is as stable as it gets, and the engine is PURRRING.

Very cool. Looks like a lot of fun. I appreciate the creative use/design of the boat.

That's too cool brother James

That turned really cool

Just needs spray rails on the sides for a more enjoyable dry ride.

Very nice. Also clever to use the sand as an abrasive.

Running really sweet James. Well done!

Dang, I would love to go for a ride in that boat.

Love the improvising.

Love the boat you done a great job 👌

Nice work 👍👍

awesome!! next will be some hydrofoils

Looks aft heavy

Pretty cool, nice job. For me though I love the soothing sounds of the bangkas with their pump engines putt putting along.

Your starting to work like a pinoy 👍
