Saving A Boat From The Earth 

Exactly what I was thinking

a lot of what he does isn't too bad, mostly cleaning and make up, simple hardware upgrades. its the engine knowledge where he's saving thousands.

@@thrashhpandaa Agreed, incredible resource to those around him. Wealth of knowledge I wish I had. Also curious how much went into this particular build, though.

I agree it would be nice to know the best case scenario for a rebuild like this.

My guess would be about 3 or 4 thousand at the most since he does almost everything himself...it's definitely got a lot of sweat equity in it. The hardest part is finding a boat that isn't rotted out from the salt and sun...neglected fiberglass doesn't hold up well to salt and baking heat year after year. Getting a boat with a good transom and hull like that and a motor that can be saved for 500 is pretty much unheard of.

@glamdring0007 I'd bet my left nut he paid more like $1500 for the boat. Trailer alone is worth $500 let alone the nearly new boat motor with dirty carbs.

Please

so true

RESURRECTION should be the boat name ! Great job, a ton of work. I know

I’m curious as well

Ditto

Wow! It's been a while. So happy you're on and doing vids again. You were the first I started following and so happy to have you back 😊.

In these crazy boat market days, I’d say $10k plus easy

Ditto? 1500.00 maybe?

perfect job ? are you BLIND.. now go look when the prop goes on and see how the corrosion has been sprayed over on the carrier instead of being rubbed down primed with chromate then sprayed phantom black.... the paint on the motor will fall off for sure... then the front hatch going on with not a single trace of sealant, and you say perfect job.. ha ha this bloke is a proper bodging bullshit artist...

How can i learn it self taught lmao

Is it cheaper than buying new ? Just curious, I love building things and this may be a future project

@@JoseRamirez-fi2nf Yes, very much so. When I rebuilt "toys" I did it to enjoy them and save $$. In the case of a used boat I got the motor up and runing and sold it to put the $$ toward a new engine. Used running outbaord engines sell fast. This way I had a very reliable boat, unless you are a master mechanic like , "thatboatguy" you don't want to worry about a boat motor when you are 5 -15 miles from the dock. Outboard motors are "touchy" at best if they ever had major work done to them (complete rebuilds etc); with a used boat you NEVER know about the engine history. I found Yamaha outboards (IMO) engines to be the best - by far, owned several new ones and NEVER had an issue. You'll note there did not seem to be any structural issues with the boat shown, that is key. Also after a few years of use (when you wanted a bigger boat - you always do), you could sell a rehabed boat with that almost new Yamaha engine easily.

So did I 😂

He was, just got bailed

@@peterpan6156 no lol 😆

Exactly Job bo quick question what is that tool call you used to adjust the carburetors

Yes, that's the Tampa area.

pretty sure its a flip , there are others that need his touch !!!! well done

Plenty of deals in the area…Especially since he does a lot of work himself.
