We Saved This Boat

all right so we have yet another boat that we are going to fix up that came with the Evinrude v6 two-stroke we are going to repower this boat so this motor is going to come off the guy told me that the starter broke and so we started splitting the cases and stuff I don't know why maybe the bracket broke on the casing we haven't looked at it we just went ahead we're gonna be looking at motors and she's gonna take that off self apart or whatnot this is a 1986 pole trailer is in really good condition it's aluminum it's not too bad of a boat just go on the other side it did rain a lot of it so it cleans it up somewhat but it's still dirty this thing needs a lot of love [Music] nice D fallenness we might give you guys inside of the hole we'll see what it looks like the ladder is really nice it's pretty beefy ladder I'm already taking off the motor off this is for the hydraulic steering system so let's go in here it has a live Bowl right here I do have that cover a bunch of parts laying down here firewall and air box so just check this out see that there's some storage in here what this is yeah we got a bunch of three sons in there and that one do looks like Stuart apartment here [Music] we've got some rod holders he'll go in the back Oh dissen stored stuff back here and see that that's what we'll put the batteries and stuff and the oil tank we've got two seats up here pretty dirty up here controls gauges and whatnot like I said just really dirty the inside isn't bad at all this that's the hood for the motor we just put in there so it'll fly away but it's really not bad at all and just needs some cleaning and she'll clean up really good the wood needs to be stained she could see just faded look like this built maybe had some speakers in here but not sure whether maybe the radio was in here and now it wasn't definitely speakers maybe there's a radio in the cabin I really haven't went inside the cabin corner front looks like we have an anchor up here storage right there and I really never really understood why they did this because this is just for the cabin it's not like maybe there was like a storage compartment here or something but it just looks a little weird because the cabins right here just like an access thing you would assume could be used for storage but it really isn't we got two windows for the cabin pretty neat nice windshield well yeah so what I'm gonna do right now is I'm already removing the hydraulic steering system and I'm gonna bolt this motor all right so the engine is off completely I did it like this because I didn't have the flag roll on in order to use the mounting system in order to placed it properly but this works and like I said its parts motor anyway this is the motor that we recently bought I'm gonna see and hope that the hydraulic steering will fit on here and that it will mount properly on there alright so I just finished mounting of a engine onto the transom the hydraulic steering system that was on the other motor did fit pretty fit actually perfectly on this engine I didn't know if they were maybe Universal unit but I guess it is like I said steering works good all the thing now I have to do is take the old control box off run the new hardness new controls with the cables and battery cables and the motor will be 100% done then after I do the motor I just have to clean the boat inside and start doing a lot of small things and seeing what works and what doesn't work on the boat so I installed the cables and the key panel in the boat I'll show you guys what we have done been pretty busy so I haven't been recording too much like I said the controls are in the cables our key panel right here it's all wired in we took everything out of here and it's actually in pretty good shape and you could just see it I mean it's gonna shine up really nice in here they have some doors in here not bad of a little boat gonna close this because we're done for today and tomorrow we are going to work on it somewhat as they were missing latch here that's fine like I said I'm glad that steering works on it it's really smooth turn this so yeah so that's what we're at it just needs a lot of cleaning once I completely hook up all the engine and stuff because I still have to put the oil tank in here I'm I haven't done that and hook up the fuel line we're just gonna pressure wash everything and start cleaning everything use some bleach or whatnot and just do a few things like this has to go here but now for the live wall just small things so we'll leave that up for tomorrow alright so today's a new day just wanted to show you guys what I'm working on now hooking up the oil tank reservoir and putting it in right here so pretty much a brand new tank that the guy gave us I just installed the bracket on the bottom just have to put the top bracket on so it holds it in place run these hoses already made a hole right here so I could run the hoses to the motor in the electrical I I kind of could have put it in there but it's been really tight because we had the pumps for the trim tabs and because it's hydraulic driven and we have a big battery that going in there so it's gonna be really tight and I rather just make it and whatnot so that's what I'm doing right now all right so a little quick update I have the old motor load up on trailer I already have it sold like I said this is a parts motor great parts on it just too much work to even mess with to even get running right now I am going to the store to buy a new fuel line for this engine and also I have to hook up the cables and this motor is pretty much ready to go just have to make the wiring and all what not look pretty but what I'm gonna do is you see up there someone replace half the payment a little bit more than a half of the gas tank cover I'm pretty sure because it was rotted and it was probably the wood was probably fiberglass tin so the easiest way that the guy did was he put this I'm not sure what it's called but I know they sell is that Home Depot because they I'd seen it before in there so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to finish this off with the same piece of wood completely over here because it actually looks pretty good with that I like the look of it and I just don't want to leave half of it you know normally it this cover right here is a little bit rotted so why not finish off the whole look of this so that's what I'm going to do and so far it's going great and down here everything's connected I have the little tank and everything which is good so today my goal is to get the engine 100% ready to go and maybe some pressure washing and we I believe where our painting the bottom two and staining the wood so we need to hurry up and get this thing going so we could get on the water and finish this project up and move on so just wanna give you guys an update the mother is completely hooked up I am running a external fuel tank because the fuel and the main fuel tank is drained and I don't have the time right not to go to the gas station so I'm just gonna fire up the engine really quick and test it on the external fuel tank this is what it looks like in here has my battery in there there's the fuel water separator in there I also finished dislike those guys telling you earlier it wasn't too bad but the hardest part was cutting this piece of wood because it's just a smaller piece all the other ones went really smoothly looks way much better than they used to not sure if I showed you guys this before but controls are up here your key panel now I'm just gonna fire this motor up make sure everything is working properly till the trim now so it just went ahead and I took my pressure washer and I did a quick pressure wash underneath and pretty much the whole boat I didn't go really into detail I just ran it over it's pressure washer trying to get all the dirt off as much as possible because we're going to be painting the bottom just want to give you guys a little overview of what it looks like now so pressure wash all the wood in here so you could see it's still dirty but once we're ready to ready to pretty much start detailing the boat everything will be off but I already looks way much better [Applause] nope here in the cabin cabin pretty much looks the same that wasn't really too bad at all let's go to the front like I said so needs a lot of cleaning and it'll look really nice after we're done with it so we just removed all the pieces of wood my buddies here is helping me he's actually at Home Depot we have the latter piece already he is doing all the wood I'm gonna be doing the bottom paint and I have to do a few repairs in the front just gonna fill in these gashes in here on the before hit at least your bar so there was a few small gashes not too bad but as you could see there they are here I just want to fill up the fill these in before I put bobbin paint on the boat it looks somewhat decent I just have the tape on the hall already it's almost ready to be painted we also have wood staining going on over here looking great already filled in the gash is in the front caused by the oyster bar we are already painting the bottom she's all smooth and we're gonna put probably two coats on here because the first coat won't do it but two coats should do it you guys so it's a glossy so it's shining really nice looking great [Music] so I just finished up painting the bottom of the boat completely the bottom is painted as you can see looks really good we're putting the wood back ton right there the doors going on now just coming out really nice lovely so today I'm gonna be doing some small things just putting this on right now on this salt live little cover after I'm done with that I'm probably going to clean the cushions because it's pretty hot out so it could dry pretty quickly so I went ahead and bought a new winch strap because the old one was no good the growth under pressure she could see broke right there bought a brand new one just putting her on right now what we're doing now is I'm actually cleaning the motor the bird off the boat as you can see see these dirt stuff on the boat and whatnot we're getting all that off we're just gonna do detailing here soon so we ended up moving the boat to my buddy's house because on my house I have a bunch of trees and leaves we'll get in the boat whatnot and we want to get it pretty clean and in order to do that this is a perfect place to do it just want to show you guys something this boat actually came with blue LED lights in here I had wired them up but you're on right now it's a little bright outside but there is actually LED lights in here which is pretty neat so I'm almost close to being done with the boat I just have to do a few small things and one of the small things is putting these cushions into the cabin the boat is pretty much all cleaned up I cleaned it up yesterday so I'm just gonna do these few things and then I'll be completely done with this boat our blue lights have arrived and I'm going to install these into the cabin right now all right so check this out lights are in it's gonna look really good at night it's actually pretty bright during the day I had these lights are on but it's so bright outside you could barely even see them on so at night I'll shoot a video and show you guys what it looks like during the night because I'm telling you guys it's gonna look really good and you guys got to see this at night alright guys so it's dark enough to flip the switch for the lights let's see how they turned out well look at that now is that awesome or what that makes a huge difference I mean it looks really nice and it matches the lights blue lights out here this thing is just really sweet I mean look at that that is amazing let's see if we could see it in the front because there's two windows up here wow that is so cool I love these LED strips they're cheap and they work really good how awesome is that all right so tomorrow we're gonna put this thing in the water and we'll see how she runs all right so the boat is completely finished I'm gonna give you guys a overview of it I'm gonna walk around it so what we did to this is we put the bottom paint on and repowered it we clean the whole boat we also put some LED strips in the cabin new winch strap on here as you guys can see it's a pretty nice boat this is a 1986 aqua sport the motor is a 200 horsepower fuel-injected two-stroke 2005 here I'm gonna go inside it so I'll open up the hatches if you guys remember in here there was a bunch of Capri Suns and sodas I'll clean down the live wall some water in there butts all clean got a hydraulic steering set up on here has trim tabs I have the oil tank reservoir in here the battery is on this side [Music] I finished the wood pieces is where the fuel tank is some more storage in here that's good to the front not bad little boat and I'll bring you guys into the cabin the cabin is actually pretty clean it's nicely set up in here cushions are all cleaned up and like I said there is LED stripping here so at night this whole cabin should light up pretty good drawers in here this middle piece can come up if you want more room in here [Applause] so yeah it was a great fun little project so we're gonna put the boat in the water driving over there hopefully she does pretty good for us start right up my gosh she runs really good puffin great water ready to go [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] alright so we just got the boat out of the water she rang great it's great looking boat hopefully someone's gonna enjoy this boat we had a great time working on it we do have more boats coming so stay tuned please comment like and subscribe thanks for watching [Music] [Music]
