How many boat engines is too many?

all right you ready excess perhaps not a word your average American's vocabulary what is excessive does he might have calories in the Stream and the amount of baby ducks over there and the size of my phone but what is perhaps alarming is the excessive amount of boat motors being mounted to boats today we're gonna float around and find out oops all 25 horsepower Yamaha outboard motors so the inspiration comes for this video from all these terrible photoshops I mean just look at this one oh wait that's actually real oh this one's real too you know I kind of like that configuration I think we will try that I really can't afford to buy real upward engines so I'm gonna go on eBay and look at RC outboard motors never mind designing some mini Outboards shouldn't be so bad we're just going to take apart some drone motors do some measuring add some shafts to these electric brushless drone Motors 3D prints and bits and pieces and boom here we go we just need to redo this operation a lot more time now that we have all these motors I think we should actually just test out a standard quad motor setup on this 3D printed center console boat I made this is also printed out of plastic if you guys want the S tails for this they're down in the comments below you just have to like And subscribe to get them so here we have one of the completed 3D printed Outboards that a design let's test it wow it looks so good [Music] we need to test out the first set of Motors they're wired up to a four in one speed controller which basically controls the power of all the motors so if this thing gets wet it explodes and picks out all the motors with it this Amazon part has a lot of one star reviews please note that this board is for two to three cell batteries only do not even try for us the board will be immediately releasing smoking and stop working let's do a quick test and make sure this works buy Power first so that's working so now I need to plug power into the board okay you ready I didn't hear any beeps something's wired wrong it turns out I wired it wrong this is weird because I use my intuition to say okay this rail is all negatives this rail is the signal nobody cares what any of that means but basically I wire it around let's plug it in now hey made the noises all right let's see how it does I'm afraid to go too fast because it may strip these gears because this is a lot of power why are they born I don't know it's a safety orange we need to get a quick Baseline test slowly bring it up to speed it's pretty good it sounds like one of them is like not delivering power these ones got torque so this one's out this one's out oh well we almost got on Flames so it's not bad Captain moment like all my projects these things just don't quite work right away so we need to tweak the gears a little bit and try it again so we fixed the gearboxes because I looked inside of them and let's just say they weren't put together all correct let's just say they weren't engineered [Music] there we go that looks great [Music] we've made it to Miami where it's much warmer and the water is kind of still dirty speaking of dirty the internet is also a dirty place and surf shark are sponsored for this video will help you navigate through these dirty Waters I travel a lot and I'm constantly using Wi-Fi at hotels airbnbs and other sketchy locations and what I don't want getting out is my personal data especially passwords and bank account information a virtual private Network or VPN helps mask your data from thieves and prying eyes surf shark bites down on companies or criminals trying to steal your personal info surfshark is also a fantastic way of masking your location so you can access things you can't normally access it in your home country I'm in Costa Rica now it's as easy as clicking on a different location in the app this is also definitely one of the most affordable Services I pay for because unlike some Services search actually allows you to use their VPN on Multi devices all the same time with just one single low-cost subscription search is also very highly rated on the App Store check out the link in the description below or go to surfshark.deals triple and get an extra three months for free surfshark also has a 30 day money back guarantee so if you don't like it you can get your money back [Music] foreign [Music] it's like Midnight Express but it's slightly different [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] well I hope you like that sick 80s Montage it's time to add all of the motors now I think the gearbox broke on this one a tooth got strip or something turns out it was just a little screw that was loose so we fixed that oops I'm going to plug in all the motors and we're going to do a full 12 motor test [Music] all right you ready now we do have these 12 Motors on but maybe we could go to 14 or 15. I think we should consult some boat experts so off to the Miami International Boat Show this boat's only half as good as ours right I compared look how many rod holders it's gone man those rod holders foreign we're at the boat show today to find out is this too many up boards how many inches do you have I have 12 inches is that too many engines the engine looks like Jordan is too many it's 12 too many Outboards I don't think so horsepower you got the wrong Motors on there for us to be in a big house well it's just too many Motors yeah the lodge is perfect on here [Music] [Applause] no it's never enough yeah I see gaps in there no problem yeah they'll go yeah maybe two too many no no no is this too many Outboards Never Enough 12 a.m quickie no not enough I mean that seems like it could be a little too heavy a little too many Oh No It's never enough I mean you got room yeah we do have room [Music] is that too many no definitely not you're pushing the limit all right you never have enough speed right too many the right number yeah six unfortunately the day was very inconclusive I think the consensus was it is either the right amount or not enough Motors but I think it's a free Swag Time Has Come plug it in I hear a beeping no I just hear music yeah oh no [Applause] we're gonna need like sponsors on the sides to make it float so we can get this thing really bad because all it does is bury itself do you think like this that's the easiest way oh at least gives the Brilliance buoyancy yeah we'll attach these I think it will do something oh we'll try it screw it put it on there lock it in like that with the zip tie ready yep [Applause] this is literally not working it's really not looking so good for this configuration I think we're gonna try just one more thing thank you very much this will work excellently yeah all these Outboards don't do anything we found a novel solution we bought Toy books all right attached them here so we have more planing surface so the boat can hopefully go faster all right we have the upgrades three dollar boats I feel like they should be actually a dollar maybe it's inflation but whatever so we're gonna try to run it again because I think it's gonna have a better chance okay let's put this beast in the water no hold on that's floating better yeah you ready yes oh no it's drowning here's the plan I'm gonna gas it and then you're gonna shove it to try to get it on plane [Music] ah no not really [Music] you need a bubble blast I always please understand that [Music] I think we've reached a verdict if you extend them shut up if you extend them past the transom the Outboards are very ineffective even with small boats kind of playing it I have no doubt in my mind that if we had a wide fat transom boat where the boat was actually that wide it would work just fine I have some more ideas we can try as far as where to put the out worse because I would like to see it go faster with just 12 Outboards what are you doing what are you doing you ain't working too many Outboards we have too many Outboards so unfortunately the Outboards out here in this configuration are terrible adding more Outboards to the transom of your boat does you no good if it's not behind the actual Hull so we're gonna get rid of these Outboards and move them somewhere else thank you [Music] all right Stephen what do you think no bueno it's not gonna work good nope I think this is going to be fantastic because now the outboards are not sticking out and creating tons of drag they're right behind the transom so hopefully the boat can go on plane just fine I'll use wires [Music] [Applause] [Music] we'll just point it where do we want to go I'm just going to punch it and see what happens oh yeah I don't think it's any faster [Music] it's about as fast as it was with four Motors and that was totally unsteerable I can't I can't steer it with this foreign so I think it's a little bit faster maybe out of the hole well I'm playing it doesn't go much quicker I have some theories why manly the prop wash coming off of here is turbulated foreign so these aren't really doing a whole lot as far as making it move any faster but the boat does get on plane I think this is looking pretty bad for the Outboards adding more Outboards to your boat that go past your transom bad idea in both directions and this way and that way I think we have one more idea though the moment you wait not you all the moment I've been waiting for I'm going to just glue the Outboards to the side of the boat and see what happens so I think we'll put them right at water level here maybe angle up a little bit to help get the boat out of the hole and on plane it's either going to be the best or the worst behold my master plan I'm so stupid looking how many Outboards too many Outboards we've got this one this one now why not this tall out version on this bad boy let's put it in the drink and see what happens oh yeah that looks so cool [Music] all right now the next steering nice [Music] yes [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] all right [Music] I think we've reached the conclusion more Outboards is not quite better in fact it's a little dangly [Music] way better now now that it's back to normal and the onboards are out gone foreign [Music] [Music] I think we just about killed any sort of configuration we could think of the correct number of Outboards is how many Outboards you can fit on your actual transom don't go beyond the transom and you're good if you like a lot of this stuff the boat files I'll set up for free the stls for the boat Outboards also for free because I just generally give that stuff away all that stuff is down in the description below you can check it out there and print them out for yourself I wouldn't recommend you mixing your drinks with these however [Music] [Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Music] [Music]
