The girls can fix just about anything they put their minds too, and now we hear that they love to fish ? Wow, you are a very fortunate man, and the envy of men everywhere . Good for you...

Hi everyone, cool outboard, I have my grandpa's 5 1/2hp Johnson Seahorse, is about a 1952. Do yourself a favor, where you tighten motor to boat, get a small rope or chain and fasten to the motor, and have it long enough to tie around a spot on seat, it is just a safety percussion in case motor comes loose on boat, that I don't fall in the lake or it will be gone, have fun fishing, is the most relaxing hobby you could ever have, cheers

I love the putt putt sound of the old marine motors. They are so cute. Your love and efforts take me back to when I was a little kid and my grandfather had his boat. He was always working on it, him and my uncle. My grandfather is the source for my love of boating and camping. You all have stirred some memories that have laid dormant for decades. Thank you for the stirring.

@douglasarmstrong2748 4 месяца назад

We had an old timer up at our cottage that had a 25 HP Wizard on an old Alumacraft boat. That thing ran like a top and was really fast. I always enjoyed seeing him skim past our place at the same times almost every day. It's good to see you folks get this old classic running again. Than Lone Star boat is a beauty.

@KeithM-kv9tt 4 месяца назад

I think you found the electric starter in that Dewalt and a little mod to the engine cover. 😊 for the boat windshield, look up the procedure for the airplane you all have. You'll be right in business for taking care of the boat windshield.

Thanks for sharing, perfect video to have on while I work on some Ranchero parts on a rainy day... Old boats are the best. My grandpa's 'old man by the sea' was stolen from my garage in the late 1900s. It was a 1965 Seaflight (later hydroswift). It was so fun, I keep hoping she will turn up, but 25 years is a long time. Enjoy the memories.

@johnheard2814 4 месяца назад

Just a hint of precaution always keep a plug wrench and an extra set of plugs in dry store on boat. Those ol 2 strokes often like to foul a plug even running wide open . It a lot easier to change plugs than to paddle all the way back to the launch. I think if not mistaken those Wizard motors were sold by SEARS . But I may be wrong. To add long life to that old motor you should make your gas oil mix just a tad more rich than prescribed. It be more better to have a bit of smoke and run cooler than run it too lean. That's why you keep extra plugs so you keep running. Be sure and find non ethanol gas that crap will destroy the carbs on that old gal! Be looking forward to the next adventure be safe!

Those two smiles from the girls when the engine fired up makes his day I bet !!!! Love seeing things resurrected and the kid seeing those sticker shock prices for new items. Its going to be some great memories. Thanks for sharing the fun!!

Hey guys ! Before going to replace the windscreen, use an acrylic lacquer clear spray can on a section of the plexiglass... You should use fine wet sandpaper or cloth on the surface that has the most damage from the ultraviolet light. ( front facing surface usually )

Love that LoneStar boat and that very nice Wizard motor was built by Mercury .You could try wetsanding and polishing the windshield and maybe look into pulley steering as you have the expensive parts already the helm and that new wheel .Good Luck! ...Glenn

Great episode and grateful Aaron is doing so much better today.

You may have to lengthen your fuel line...you spin the motor 180° and flip the handle for reverse. That's a Mercury impeller. Sweet boat! I love the vintage styling. Put a 25 hp on it and hook up the steering!

@ethanstarkey2672 4 месяца назад

Its hard to believe how much the kid has grown up since i have been watching this channel. There is a likely chance that you guys will be able to make that engine be able to run remotely with the steering wheel. They make lots of universal cables that will fit on that engine. You guys have proved your ability to fabricate and improvise through adversity. I feel confident that you will be able to make it work. I have restored many old boats and would be more than willing to assist in helping you find the correct parts. Also, I suggest keeping an eye out on market place for a sweet vintage trolling motor. It will greatly contribute to the ability to fish out of this rig!

@jimdandy2275 4 месяца назад

Cool beans! That little boat will look good behind her C10 one day. I love the old Wizard motor. I have a 1959 Montgomery Wards Sea King 5 hp my dad bought new. Yep, she runs too.

Awesome little fishing boat ! And y'all got to spend quality time together, , God Bless and hope y'all get a good haul of fish in that little boat 👍

@tomhendricksen1805 4 месяца назад

If the windshield is not cracked, just kind of foggy you might try using tooth power mixed into a paste if you can find some. I have used it many times on plastic, usually on old car radio dials to make them clear again. The last one I did it on was the radio out of a Mercedes Gullwing. The tooth powder does a good job of polishing the plastic.

@steveperyer4850 4 месяца назад

If you buff the windshield with DuPont #7 rubbing compound, it will come out like a brand new windshield. I have done that on many vintage snowmobiles windshields with great success 😊. Nice boat and a great way for that Young Lady to become the ship captain!

@lainenicholson9405 4 месяца назад

Love the little boat. Hopefully you get it going soon and enjoy fishing from it. Thanks for the great videos and keep em coming.

@derekwalters6132 4 месяца назад

The Kid did a nice job of picking up that motor, but you gotta be careful, I picked up the 15hp for my boat which I’ve done countless times before and I ended up pulling a hamstring. My F-I-L had built some stands out of wood with some casters for storage, nowadays I wheel the boat as close to the garage as I can and wheel the motor as close to the boat and then it’s a lift off the stand and onto the boat. Haven’t had an issue since, as you get older things you did before when you were younger take some planning out

The last boat windshield that I needed I had made. I went and got the manufacture name off a windshield on a boat at Bass Pro of all places. They were more than happy to make a custom windshield. We made up a template of what we wanted and sent it to them. About month later we had a windshield back with all the mounting hardware that fit perfect.

@RobbinTerrell-d2x 2 месяца назад

The windscreen can be cleaned and made clear by micro sanding it with the same items we use in aviation on the their windscreens. It’s not cheap but it saves dollars down the road once you get the kit. Since I’ve been away from wrenching on aircraft for a number of years, I can’t give you a ballpark figure for the price.

@majobis 4 месяца назад

I would like to add a suggestion on the fuel line. While your set up will work fine you should have the quick disconnect on the tank and boat motor for easy tank swap outs and filling it up ,and make sure the engine either takes straight gas or a oil gas mix. When go to shift the engine in to forward or reverse there should be a shift indication on the steer lever. If not the engine should be at idle to allow for shifting. I learned a lot from a bout that had an outboard when I went fishing way up north in Minnesota. Great starter and fishing boat and I hope you can get the steering wheel, and throttle system hooked up for and easier drive. I wish I had that boat.

@thomasaccuntius9946 4 месяца назад

My dad bought a white fiberglass Lone Star 14' speed boat,when I was around 10 years old ( around 1965 ). My sisters and I learned how to waterski with that boat. The boat was used, but we cleaned it up good and used it for several years on vacations. It had I think a 25 hp Evenrude on it. Memories.

@js7127 4 месяца назад

Sweet little boat and am sure the guy that fixed it up would be thrilled it went to a good home to finish it but most importantly put it to use!! I agree with Aaron that fishing is ok but unless you are catching you better add a bunch of rice or you are going to bed hungry!!! Best is you give nothing to the Kidd except the knowledge to be self sufficient in the future. No greater gift than that, but a new fishing pole doesn't hurt LOL!!!

@berniewilson9015 4 месяца назад

Truly a fantastic '57 boat. A find of a lifetime. Not to mention picking up 'the Wizard' and getting it running so quickly. Unbelievable that it runs so smooth. It looks like the throttle may need some 'brand' of penetrating oil squirted in the housing to loosen up it's reaction time. I know nothing about boats, but I do know a thing or two about 'sticky throttles'. I also am a great fan of 'The Kid', she is definitely a 'Gem'. Your whole family is awesome. Keep up the great content, and may God continue Blessing you!

The "Kid" is going to have to have a Deamsicle ice cream painted on the tailgate of her new truck with one bite taken out of it.

Very cool restores boat. I have spent many of fun days and nights fishing Cedar Creek (50 years ago). And have paddle all around the lake as a young teenager. If you have issues you should try going over to Parsons Creek just out of Eustace. It is a state park lake smaller and more protected from winds. It is also a lake designed for bass fishing with great cover and lots of bait fish. Bass fishing is catch and release but crappie, blue gill and catfish are abundant and you can keep those to eat.

@flyingsparksgarage 4 месяца назад

I think you mean Purtis Creek! It’s a great state park, indeed!

You are correct I did mean Purtis Creek I need to be more alert before I send Siri tends to think she knows what I mean more than I do. I had a ranch small - 100 acres on FM 1861 for 20 years prior to moving to SoCal. I watch them build Purtis Creek and was invited for grand opening and dishes in numerous times with my sons in the 80s and 90s.

A outboard motor is the same as a 2 stroke lawnmower, the "flywheel" is actually a magneto from which creates the spark ,check under the flywheel at the magnets in the flywheel.

@sheltdog8463 4 месяца назад

Glad you were able to get her fired up. I bought two antique outboards a couple years back for a 10ft Jonboat that I had got. One was a Johnson Alternate Firing Twin and the other was a Goodyear Seabee both 5hp. The Johnson was a no go because the shaft was too long. The Goodyear was the one I focused on. We’ll both of these motors were very old I think the Johnson was a 1942 and the Goodyear was maybe a 1935. Not 100% sure on those dates but the float for the carburetor on the Goodyear was cork and parts were scarce and if you did find them they wanted a arm and a leg and they weren’t in good condition to say the least. Short story long I ended selling the boat and I kept the two motors and painted and polished them up like factory fresh and gave them to a friend that lived on the lake. You may want to get a solar panel to hook up to your battery to keep it charged up and I didn’t see you purchase a anchor. Good Luck & Happy Fishing!

@Trophy9869 4 месяца назад

I was born in ‘66. When i turned 16 my dad got me a 1962 Crownline. He got a deal on a new 30hp Suzuki. The boat looked a lot like yours. The motor was a long shaft which made it a little difficult to drive. I had to distribute the weight perfectly.

@Guns_N_Gears 4 месяца назад

If I am not mistaken, that outboard was made by Mercury, so it's likely to use Merc parts if you ever need them. Also, using a drill to check for spark and to try starting small engines is a real back saver!! Boat looks 👍 great

Love that you snagged a vintage motor to power that sweet lil gem! We had an electric trolling motor that we stashed in our vintage aluminum boat as a backup. We got it secondhand cheap, and it became our go-to for maneuvering around our fav fishing spots on our lakes. Saved the bigger motor for getting out to them. Happy fishing kid!
