Suzuki is the best out there IMHO. Owned a DF225 for 10 years now. Still going strong knock on wood. Just keep up with maintenance and you'll be golden.... Good luck, Rob!
Rob, I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed these videos with your boat. I grew up in Merritt Island and worked in Melbourne with FPL for years. It’s just great content. Thanks. I miss the water.
It's always so exciting to watch this video over and over again and seeing the smile in your face. MAN I wish I can feel that. Just still tryin to save up for my boat so I can put it back on the water.
OMG Rob that boat was flying through the water with ease. What a fantastic Job they did I Carn't wait to watch the adventures ahead. Love to Sarah & the girls from the uk xxx
Wow! Truly an amazing experience to see how it all comes together. Thank you Rob for taking the time to make AND share this video. It's cool to see "how the sausage is made". EVERYTHING from the restoration process and now this motor installation was done with quality workmanship and attention to details, but I have to say it LOOKS very very very good too! The continuous length power cables was another wonderful decision to avoid future troubleshooting. The completed job should give you FULL CONFIDENCE to ride out and focus on fishing and family fun. Great job all around. (9:30)when he gave it full throttle - it planed off pretty fast. Oh Man! That's one serious boat you have there. I'm excited and happy for you and the family. Keep up the great work, blessings continue over your friends and family.
A great boat. I wanted something like that. And when I went with my wife and 5 year old son. My son said ...But dad...where can I sit. Shit...That was it...Ended up with a Grady White 208 Adventure....Now he's 19! Man time goes by so fast! Cherish your babies folks!
Hunter Campbell 1 second ago ua-cam.com/video/0ZPVeQqnrVo/v-deo.html just salvaged an abandoned sailboat in Destin FL. Im going to be doing a full boat restoration with 2 other buddies. check it out
I live in Oklahoma, so I had my Suzy installed here. However, if I lived down there, Outboard Specialties would be where I would have gone. I have already bought parts from them, and the customer service is outstanding!!
I'm proud for you guys. The journey with this boat has been amazing. It is awe-inspiring what American craftsman can do when they work together. That boat was DEFINITELY put through its paces!
I'm glad things are really coming together for you and yours. Hunting, fishing, building a house for your family, and now a rebuilt boat. You are truely blessed indeed sir.
Beautiful restored boat, with a brand new 300 engine, should be trouble free for awhile! Very glad your wife, and girls are getting to go for a ride on it! Don't forget Mothers Day, with this new show piece boat being on your mind Robert! Love you guy's, great job!
deer, I just love boats. Been around them all me 69 years, in me blood. I have my Dad’s 1953 14’ DuraCraft that’s hauled so many fish from lakes, rivers, ponds, estuaries, swamps and various waters, oh me. One canoe. My 18.5’ SeaRay 125 hp Mercury. That’s the one I want to redo a bit. It’s great, but could use a deep wax and touch up. I in GA, so I check them old boys out down there.
I dream of fishing everyday for the rest of my life but I can’t coz i have to work as an architect but you are gifted to do fishing anytime as you wish plus a brand spanking new boat, I am so envious really I am, congratulations on that nicely restored boat 👍
Rob and Sarah, our family really enjoys watching all of your videos. We love hiw this is a family geared channel and will always support u guys. Love you guys
WOOOWWW! SO HAPPY FOR YA. Thats a fishing machine, looks like a million bucks, nice and fast, i like how well she stayed very clean in that chop even at those speeds. Gesh. what an inspiration.
Outboard specialties is great to deal with. I drove 12 hours from Alabama to get my new engine from those guys. They came in on a offday to meet me so i could get my engine. When i got home i had picked up the wrong controls, made a phone call to them and had the right parts in 2 days. I wont ever buy a boat motor form anywhere else.
WOW THEY SEEM TO DO AN AWESOME JOB THE BOAT LOOKS AMAIZING ROB WTG ON IT IF EVER GET DOWN THEIR HAVE TO CHECK Y'ALL OUT BLESSINGS TO YOU AND FAMILY BE SAFE AND ENJOY.
Rob, can't wait to see the girls' faces when they go on the ride in y'all brand new (refurbished) boat! Congrats! Y'all are a beautiful family and stay blessed!
Brother am happy for u and you are living that dream!! You deserve it buddy see what hard work gets uh! Yes outboard speciality is awesome place guts do clean work and know what there doing. Great job!! Cant wait to see what house looks like it looks like a peaceful place no cars maybe an airplane sometimes God is great
Hey Rob, I say Rob as I feel like we that close with watching all your videos. I'm a South African Cape townian that wants to get a boat and live half the life you do. You and Sahra inspire me. Saying grace together is awesome but I miss it and the holding of hands when you with others. Under God, we are all brothers and sisters. Love you guys. And God bless. I'm gone! ❤
I live on the coast and run a yamaha 150 now. All my friends have went to suzuki even Towboat is running the big Zuks now. Cant wait to get one on mine. My yamaha has done pretty good. But my boat come with the motor or I would have put a suzuki on it to start with keep up the great videos.
I love the boat. My only thought would be to have done 2 Yamaha 150’s for redundancy. If one broke down, you could still get home. Love the channel, man. 🙌
Speaking of Melbourne Florida, you do realize you have a ton of fans on the treasure and space coast, you should do a fishing video out of the Sebastian inlet for us. We know Jupiter is amazing and we've seen you dabble in Ft. Pierce, now lets see what you can land up this way.
Hey, i can vouch for Suzuki's. i have a 1992 40hp Suzuki that i work like a rented mule. I was prepared to by a new motor when i brought my boat. I gave her a compression test and tuneup with a new prop and its at least as good as some newer motors. never had an issue outside of water in my fuel tank, simple fix and nothing to do with the motor. Follow your maintenece and she will likely out last your boat.
After talking DIRECTLY to boat owners/captains and reading many articles and reviews as well, I ended up with a pair of Suzukis. Yamaha is charging for their name and insane advertising programs.
PUT THE BOATS NAME ON IT!!!! "RAMBO" Heck I'm Super excited to see it all come together Robert. I'm wetting my pants and it's not my Boat. Good Job Dude✋🏾👌🏾👍🏾🤛🏾🤜🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
If there anything like the motocross bikes should be a screamer. Back “in the day” used to race Suzuki MX bikes, started with RM125 for 2 years then RM250. Enjoy the new “wheels” Arrington clan.
Great to see somebody appreciate their boat and restore instead of replacing it. Looks great!!
Suzuki is the best out there IMHO. Owned a DF225 for 10 years now. Still going strong knock on wood. Just keep up with maintenance and you'll be golden.... Good luck, Rob!
Mike did my repower a few years back. Just saw him for 100hr service great people over there. This vid was awesome now I know how they did it!
That boat looks great!! I love how there is an industry springing up rehabbing old boats like this. Seadek on the floor would be awesome
Picking up my boat tomorrow. Outboard specialities just strapped me on a new Suzuki and power pole. Totally pumped.
Make use of what you have. Old things are made with love. This is what you call life's full of love and excitement.

Yes!!! I am in the process of restoring an old 20 foot blazer bass boat! Man, the finished product looks phenomenal!!
A great boat. I wanted something like that. And when I went with my wife and 5 year old son. My son said ...But dad...where can I sit. Shit...That was it...Ended up with a Grady White 208 Adventure....Now he's 19! Man time goes by so fast! Cherish your babies folks!

Hey, i can vouch for Suzuki's. i have a 1992 40hp Suzuki that i work like a rented mule. I was prepared to by a new motor when i brought my boat. I gave her a compression test and tuneup with a new prop and its at least as good as some newer motors. never had an issue outside of water in my fuel tank, simple fix and nothing to do with the motor.
Follow your maintenece and she will likely out last your boat.
You were in my hood! Boat looks great congrats! Outboard specialties is awesome.
After talking DIRECTLY to boat owners/captains and reading many articles and reviews as well, I ended up with a pair of Suzukis. Yamaha is charging for their name and insane advertising programs.
Wow! Now that's what I'm talking about! Congrats buddy, I'm happy for you!!!!!
Very nice, nothing like getting a new toy!
AWESOME, I have a 2010 175 Suzuki on a 22ft custom built aluminum. Love it! I think that motor makes gas...it's that efficient.
Nice boat, nice engine. Good luck for you, and your family!
Just a thought rob but you should’ve added a jack plate to that bad boy and some power poles for the sandbar
The Bass Guy also some nice seating
And trim tabs :(
Power poles are so 1990's Get a Minn Kota with spot lock.
Shanghai Gaming j
Trim tabs for sure !
Very nice boat rob time to do some fishing I know that your proud good luck fishing make a video
