No matter what happens to/with Gas Monkey garage going forward the #1 most important thing is to KEEP CHASE WORKING! This kid is the future of automotive and the future of Gas Monkey......you can call it "Chase Monkey" when he takes over and I'd love to see more of him talking because he KNOWS what he's actually talking about!
You are correct the boats engines have independent closed loop cooling system called heat exchangers that does not allow sea water in the engine but does have an external pump that uses sea water to cool the heat exchangers. No you can not run it long out the water and without an external water source. It will over heat quickly. It could also damage the external pump. Great episode. Always look forward to the new episodes.
Mr Rawlings I’ve been watching your show and you’ve evolved so much and you are a very smart man and all I can say get you some of that ! Let you finish the rest 😅 much love and respect from Austin TX
All so far as favorite episodes R.R. gives big middle finger to dying cable TV as the UA-cam channel gets bigger and better. Merry Christmas to all at GMG and more and bigger things in 2022
Don’t run those engines unless you have water going through them .. there are rubber impellers in the outdrives that will burn up if there not submesed . You can hook them up to a hose but you need the drive muffs . They’re probably in the boat if you look around .
Chase is confusing “freshwater cooled” with having radiators. After Richard turns the engines off, chase says “no, you can go on the ocean with this”, meaning it’s not raw water cooled. Raw saltwater would corrode the engine’s block. Freshwater system has a coolant tank that circulates through the engine via a water pump, like your car, but instead of a radiator, which cools with Fresh air, it has a heat exchanger that pulls in water from through the hull to cool the coolant that flows through the block. When they open the engine compartment, you can see the exhaust risers where the outside cooling water flows.
Man that olds just beautiful Something about those cars especially the 70 to 72 just so badass. That was a muncie Rock crusher m22 trans wasn't it? Thought I heard a Muncie whine?? I know he had to really Hammer the hell out of it. That kind of power it was putting out to and it's a ragtop get that top fixed man what a cruiser
haha love the Donut Media reference. They just got bought out. Very Large channel. I am so glad that you guys made a channel and are going to keep up with it. subscribed
Just wanna say fibbs always has the best attitude and is so honest about the situation. Give him a raise he's hard working guy. @RichardRawlings you better be nice to him.
You oughta try owning a socket set and an oil can to adjust and lube the hinges and latches properly. Obviously Richard does own one. And he's owned others. That his "car guy" idiot "worker" that in episode 1 was going to crawl under a "1st gen" Pontiac "GTO" (i.e. Tempest with the GTO "option package") to find a "block number" and ascertain whether it was a "400 or 455" decided to "fix" that hood by slamming and ramming it down "tight" and was able to push it 1/2" below flush at least instead of taking two minutes to adust and repair it right and make himself, his employer and the car itself look good instead of shadetree shit when anybody that has owned one that is "right" KNOWS all you "gotta do" to shut a Camaro hood properly is "drop it" just like Richard DID shows exactly why Richard listened to exactly none of his "expertise" and "wisdom" during episode one when that dipshit thought if Richard played his cards right and dangled "200" in front of the "motivated seller" he could "make a deal" for that POS "GTO" anybody with half a clue KNOWS HAS A 389 UNDER THE HOOD, that POS "blower car" wagon Hood Man there said has the "idler bolt broke off in the block" (blower drive idlers do not bolt "in the block" directly and do not break unless there are other, deeper and way worse "issues" like sheared/slipped/twisted crank snouts, "tuning problems" that cause them due to backfires, excessive "boost", loose blower mounting hardware, all of the above...) and said is an "easy fix", a "rollback" he only "tossed in" after Richard said it had to sell too and a "Baja" Hood Boy pronounced worth "65" with absolutely zero clue whatsoever (Boat Trader where 75% of the couple dozen "late model" 35+ foot "Bajas" are $110,000 plus and "cabin cruisers" and on consignment at "boat brokers" by "private sellers" that really just needed a place to "store" them "free of charge" after getting them winterized and don't really want to sell them even though "mama" is making them "try" and the real world where "wholesale" buys every boat that's really for sale and the trailer is worth at LEAST 25% of the "asking price" and NOBODY pays "65" for some POS 25-30 foot open-bow twin naturally-aspirated small-block Mercruiser "outdrive" (they're called stern drives and "I/O" has nothing to do with "outdrive" except to tools like you) that doesn't even have a full "windscreen" and won't top 50 mph wide open as a "ski boat". "Cleanest boat motors I've ever seen" said several of them. Or words to that effect. Meaning they either haven't seen many or they've seen real pieces of crap. Not much dirt or road grime out there on the water, engine compartments are supposed to be "airtight" and at most get opened dockside once a day to check oil, oil and fuel vapor should never get out of the engine any way besides as "exhaust" during bilge blower or engine operation, there's no coolant - contrary to what Captain Ron says about "separate radiators" and "trailer idling" which is bullshit AND "safe" only because the engines "retain water" in the block, heads, raw water pump sufficient for "dry" startup and a few SECONDS of operation at most UNLESS "water muffs" hooked to a garden hose and placed over the stern drive/engine WATER INLETS in the SKEG are installed OR the stern drive is "tanked" in a reservoir of some kind and there is zero "airflow" through the engine compartment besides into and through the engine. So boat "motors" tend to stay pretty damned clean. And those are NOT especially clean for that new of a boat. "Black shows dirt" and those are pretty dirty. Probably because despite "10,000 lakes" Minnesota doesn't have very many good "powerboating" lakes and damned few if any get warm enough for anybody but "hardcore" skiers/tubers/swimmers to get in. The ice doesn't go out til mid-May in most "big" Minnesota lakes, they're natural and mostly "rock bottom" and too far north to catch lots of sun and rarely do water temps get over "room temperature" during their 30-45 days of "summer". And "infrastructure" in/on the public lakes tends to be pretty primitive. Dirt/rock/dust roads and parking lots for miles in and out, minimal concrete for "clean up" and no reason - for "rich boy" boat owners - to "wipe down" a boat at the ramp just to drag it miles through the dust home before "winterizing" it and storing it "covered" but outdoors for another 10 months. Even when "indoors" it's usually a pole shed or lean-to or "barn" and unless you have a "high end" trailer with two jacks and removable tongue and an "I/O" you won't get a boat much over 15 feet in a typical "attached garage". And over 10 months even "climate controlled" storage gets "dusty". It also helps tremendously to have a big "engine room" and one "big motor" instead of two small-blocks in a "rowboat" like that. So you can access the "motor" for service, cleaning, maintenance and engine compartment "detailing". There isn't shit for room in there to even get to ' "winterizing" drains. Mainly because multi-engine "powerboats" really aren't practical or intended for "cold climates" and/or "outdoor storage" including unheated "garages" and only "seasonal" use. And as far as "offshore powerboating", there isn't a single thing about "seawater" automotive "raw water cooled" OR "separate radiator" (i.e. jacket water cooled) engined boats "like" whether outboard OR "I/O". The biggest challenge in "offshore racing" is keeping the engines and "outdrives" (which ARE water-cooled AND the engine cooling "raw" water inlets and primary pumps or else those itty bitty gears and little bit of lube could never take all that "horsepower" - obviously) "alive" in conditions, environments and "coolant" they do not "like" at all. Going "offshore" with freshwater - like "Bajas" powerboats is also the primary reason there are always "new" used boats for sale "cheap" relative to new MSRP. Along with cold water powerboating "up north" where it's impossible to get and keep "high performance" boats and engines and drives "warmed up" and keep them that way. When "electronic" engines stay "cold" they stay in "open loop" and tend to run alternately rich and lean and both "wear out" engines in relatively short order. Having to "re-engine" a "$100k" powerboat even if you "DIY" is a good way to drop "$65" in a hurry. "Marinized" modern aluminum and electronic engines ain't cheap. Especially if/when one of them is "reverse rotation" and everything is "backward". Aluminum parts also have even less tolerance for "frost" than "cast iron" and don't even have to "freeze" to "split". There is no such thing as a good cheap boat and Richard was smart to pay "salvage price" for that "collection" and get 30+ "toys" for "225" instead of the 5-6 he'd have gotten for "200" listening to his "helper" that doesn't even know every "1st-gen" GTO made has/had a 389 under the hood. Or that a "Pontiac 455" is a freaking Oldsmobile "motor". It's pretty obvious Richard keeps those tools around just to look smarter by comparison and hopefully recruit some real "experts" while making sure they're under "adult supervision" with him all the time. Leave those fools "home alone" and they'd probably rob him blind instead of just trying to get him to give his money away "on the road". One asshole was "out" because a guy - his "friend" - that didn't OWN "everything" to be able to LEGALLY sell it AND wanted/needed to keep SOMETHING(S) to "daily drive" wouldn't "bite" on "250" for "everything" and the other asshole thought "200" was a "good number" for about 1/8th of "everything" including "65" for a freaking BOAT between Thanksgiving and Christmas with gas station gas at $3.50 a gallon and marina gas at $4.50 a gallon. $1000 to "fill her up" buy "65" is a "bargain". Compared to "135" for the "GTO" that's just a Tempest with a "trailer tow package" at best and unverifiable as a "real GTO" especially by idiots "discussing" 400 vs. 455 when it has to be a 389 and "easy fix" broken blower motor station wagon and POS bondo-bodied and butchered (chopped) 2wd stepside "Red Rocket" Richard has never "owned" personally and a "couple Model As" made less "rare" and "valuable" by the fact there are 2 in one 30-vehicle "collection" and a Ford Stupor Duty rollback that has a 50/50 shot of having a scattered PowerJoke under the hood and a $20k "repair" bill to get it "running" again/and or is emissions "deleted" and won't "smog"? Talk about good "help" being hard to find. What is most hilarious is that every time he really needs "help" putting a "value" on anything "used vehicle" - which is EVERYTHING he "collects" after his "motorcycle/memorabilia collection" deal debacle - he blows them off, gets some alone time and calls Dennis and breaks out the NADA guide and his gut instinct and makes a deal without them having a thing to do with it and they end up doing the dirty work they cannot stand just to look "involved".
When Richard said that he hates the color blue, what a frickin backwards comment. I've had 3 blue cars, 1976 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham, 1974 Dodge Cornet Custom, 1989 Chevy Camaro R/S. For him to hate blue is plain crazy.
Lot of comments worrying about the impellers -- and probably rightly so (I can't claim any real world experience on that style boat) -- But - I'd think if anyone bought that boat from someone who has battlescars on every car he owns, or even from someone with a good track record, for that matter, I'd think the impellers would be one of the first things to get replaced anyway - seem to recall a lot of recommendations for that being an annual maintenance item. The shop he suggested sending the boat to (didn't catch the name) would quite likely plan to replace the impellers regardless. Of course, the bad information for those watching, is still a valid issue... "Kids, don't try this at home." ;-)
Shawn i from Minneapolis my self born and raised here . Great find on the cars very nice Richard Purchase some sweet cars . Shawn I called the northside the wild wild West I’m a bus driver here for the last 25 years It can get a little wild on that side of town lol .
RICHARD RAWLINGS BE FINDING THE BEST AND CRAZY COLLECTION YOU HAVE REALLY INSPIRED ME I REALLY BEEN THRU IT I HAVE WE NEED MORE PPL LI KE RICHARD RAWLINGS WE DO
I think Chase mentions like five times, it’s OK I own one talking about the blue Camaro. A little smug, but if I was 22 and old 69 Camaro, I would be a little smug too. Way to go, buddy!
It's a Super T-10. Borg-Warner "clone" of a GM Muncie "rock crusher". Used by the tens of thousands in "2nd gen" Camaros and Firebirds. It's "metric" because GM had "metricized" it's powertrain components by then on emissions/tuneup labels. The only thing "Ford" about it is that just like the T-10, Ford "adopted" it after GM "abandoned" it and replaced it with 5-speed OD transmissions in "F-bodies". It's a superior "show car" transmission for installation in 3-speed manual and automatic cars because it has a "built in" shift tower. Seeing a component in/on a Ford vehicle does not make it "Ford". A shitload of "Ford" 4-speed pickup transmissions are SM425s. Muncie SM425s. A Ford "8.8 inch" rear axle is a GM 12-bolt "clone". "Ford" Autolite carbs are all Holley, Carter and Rochester "clones". And a "Ford top-loader 4-speed" is a GM Saginaw light-duty passenger-car trans "clone". Only an idiot would associate a giant hole in the top of the case covered only by a sheet metal plate in addition to the hole in the side for the shifter assembly with "heavy-duty". Just like only a shadetree mechanic like Phipps would associate any 4-speed trans besides a "top loader" with Ford when Ford hasn't built any transmission entirely "in-house" without "borrowing" major design "features" and/or outright "cloning" components from the "competition" since WWII besides the FMX. Which is the biggest boat anchor slushbox of an automatic "gearbox" in automotive history. And yes, Ford "cloned" the vaunted/legendary/iconic/bulletproof "9 inch rear axle", too. Poorly since Ford never made one "bulletproof" enough to go in any vehicle more heavy-duty than light-duty 1/2-ton pickups. Mostly with smog-dog 351M and 400 engines and FMX transmissions and most with passenger car gear ratios 2.50:1 or higher. And most "9 inch Fords" are actually "8 inch Fords. Just a "half inch" more "bulletproof" than a GM 10-bolt 7.5". The whole "diameter = strength" spiel for "rear axles" aka rear differential ring gears is a crock of shit. 8.75" GM 12-bolts were used in all GM heavy-duty 1/2-ton trucks and SUVs up to an including Suburbans. 10-bolts from '88 on. A 7.5" ring gear allows for a smaller diameter but heavier and thicker housing and a shorter, stiffer and stronger pinion shaft and larger pinion gear. A smaller diameter ring gear and carrier place less leverage and torque on the axles and hubs and allow 16"-17" wheels and tires and larger drum and disk brakes and put more teeth in contact. Ford proved just how "superior" the "9 inch" axle is for "heavy duty" use by shitcanning it and introducing its first "heavy half" 4WD pickups when it "innovated" the TTB Dana 44-based "independent front suspension" up front and put its 12-bolt "clone" in the rear. Of course GM put small-block 400s and even big-block 454s in its "heavy halfs" along with 6-bolt wheels and hubs to handle the extra torque of ratios as low as 3.73:1 - same as the "light-duty" ratio in 3/4-tons - more than a decade earlier and put the 12-bolt "on" both coil springs and leaf springs to prove it could take amount of "twist". And the "c-clips" are not the only "retainers" in the axle. The way the axle shafts are machined and their "full floating" design with the shaft surface acting as a bearing race for the "needle bearings" in the housings all work to "pull" the axles in at all times. "Bulletproof" Ford "9 inch" axles have nothing but the "press fit" of a non-thrust sealed ball bearing on the axle shaft for axle "retention" and a sheet metal flange and four studs holding "slip fit" bearings in the housing ends. Axle bearings in Fords are unserviceable "sealed" wear parts not locked to the shafts or into the housing by anything but "drag" and all contaminants as well as wear particles and heat are "sealed" in as well. The axles cannot "float" at all and the bearings are not "thrust roller" type bearings and must be pressed on the shafts "cold" while typically ball bearings are a "slip fit" on a shaft with set screw and/or eccentric lock collar retention and the outer races are a "press fit" in a bore or are "clamped" in flange housings. Heat transfer is then possible in both directions and rigid alignment with zero thrust is obtained. They remain cool, lubricant remains viscous and able to trap and hold wear particles off the bearing surfaces and when sealed and non-greasable the bearings are subject only to balanced, radial "rolling" loads. Bearings subjected to vibration, impact, shock and centrifugal loads are always greasable to purge wear particles, moisture and oxidized lubricant as well as dust entering via seal deflection and "runout" and the lube is effectively "changed" when the bearing is greased. It's "cheap insurance" to replace Ford "9 inch" axle bearings whenever the axle is "serviced" and of course proper differential service to "flush" the housing requires third-member removal since the "superior" design provides no "inspection cover" on the housing. Which requires axle removal. The problem being they can never be installed in exactly the same "orientation" of the outer races in the housing if reused, the existing "wear pattern" will be disturbed and a slightly - or much - different portion of the outer race will be subject to the vertical "bouncing" loads and "flat spotting" of races and balls will occur where there is "play". How rapid and severe and time before failure is dependent on load, speed, temperature, bearing initial quality, previous wear, proper installation. And since in "cargo vehicles" light loads tend to produce more "bouncing" and impact "pounding" and heavy loads more "deflection" and "distortion" and friction, you're basically screwed either way. And damned lucky to get 50,000 miles of "normal use" out of axle bearings. But just "cheap insurance" replace them at every "brake job". It only doubles - at least - the parts and labor cost. And requires a press. And press blocks. And bearing splitter.
If the wheel isn't strong, especially in super torque setups and there's any wiggle room... It's possible that the holes in the wheel can become enlarged and slip right off, especially with a little heat and pressure... I'd get some hardcore steelies...
You should make something crazy out of that opel gt you have on ur lot. My sister has one for her first car n to flip over the headlights took a little muscle.
I guarantee the lug nuts on the wheel were loose, that causes the wheel to move around on studs and enlarges the holes big enough to slide over the nuts. Pre-trip checklist, check all lug nut torque lol
Whats richard i am one of your biggest fans- my first car was a 1978 firebird loved it-my next car was a 78 caddy coupe with a 425- i took out mustangs
Which car was YOUR favorite from the collection?
Just an FYI. The Camaro is a 67 not a 68. No side marker lights.
Interesting collection.
Whats the price on the camaro?
Camaro of course. Can Richard handle the camaro?
The Camaro
I’d take the Cutlass
No matter what happens to/with Gas Monkey garage going forward the #1 most important thing is to KEEP CHASE WORKING! This kid is the future of automotive and the future of Gas Monkey......you can call it "Chase Monkey" when he takes over and I'd love to see more of him talking because he KNOWS what he's actually talking about!
He’ll get tired of Richard’s drunken shit and leave. And he was wrong when he said the boat had its own cooling system
He has to hire a bunch of kids and drunks that will put up with his shenanigans.
He’s a cool kid I ram into him about a year ago at the local bar here in Chicago he was here for a wedding and super chill and just normal
I agree. Without Chase, Gas Monkey will go downhill fast.
Or he could just start his own shop
Heck ya, whats better then 1 car - obviously 2 🔥
🔥
I’d have to go with the Firebird
Chase using that dent puller on the rear that they showcased last week. He's got it down!
That 68 Camaro looks great! Love the blue with white stripes.
Richard, you’ve come a long way since fast n loud. Your videos are getting better and better. I’m proud of you, Man!
We need more gas monkey, show is like miller,been watching since it first started now just hooked,more episodes please
Yes sir we doo
Just because the motors are closed loop cooling. It still needs water to cool the manifolds. So running it dry will still burn up the empellor.
Dumb running that thing dry.
The way that 442 pulled in every gear was insane! Super cool car.
That’s they way they are. The Olds 455 is a great motor.
@port nut still…… chirping every gear !!😳
I've never seen a car that didn't "pull in every gear" unless it wasn't "pulling" in any gear.
@@deeremeyer1749 that was the stupidest shit I ever heard 😂😂😂👊🏻👊🏻
What year make model was the red car olds?
The boat engines may have on board cooling but the outdrives don't
Hammer and Dolly: Great to see. Old school metal work instead of just loading the mud to it. The way I learned the industry back in the early 1970's
Best episode in long time ... loved that the guys tested them awsome . You guys rock
Richard !!! Chase was amazing !!! Do what needs to be done and bring him back !!!
You are correct the boats engines have independent closed loop cooling system called heat exchangers that does not allow sea water in the engine but does have an external pump that uses sea water to cool the heat exchangers. No you can not run it long out the water and without an external water source. It will over heat quickly. It could also damage the external pump. Great episode. Always look forward to the new episodes.
Correct.
He had no clue what he was talking about.

....ttnnr.

That's what I'm talking about! Very cool, it's nice to be able to check out the cars, you guys be safe and enjoy!
Mr Rawlings I’ve been watching your show and you’ve evolved so much and you are a very smart man and all I can say get you some of that ! Let you finish the rest 😅 much love and respect from Austin TX
I like that Chase character. He's cool. Drives those cars like he owns em !! Love it.
These are some of my favorite type episodes
Love that Olds. So badass. Looks like a 1972 Cutlass Supreme assuming the headlight bezels are year-correct for the car.
Certainly been enjoying the UA-cam content more than the TV stuff, No BS and a great team working on the cars its just refreshing and enjoyable
Richard you are a special breed bro. Enjoying cars and selling them.
All so far as favorite episodes
R.R. gives big middle finger to dying cable TV as the UA-cam channel gets bigger and better.
Merry Christmas to all at GMG and more and bigger things in 2022
Love that red&white cutlass also in the background I saw a 72 blue &white Chevy truck awesome 👌 from Onalaska, Texas
Chase has really come out of his shell good to see
Don’t run those engines unless you have water going through them .. there are rubber impellers in the outdrives that will burn up if there not submesed . You can hook them up to a hose but you need the drive muffs . They’re probably in the boat if you look around .
Was thinking the same thing until he said they have a cooling system with radiators, so I guess there's no sea pump.
@@flexem13 boats don’t have radiators, they have heat exchangers, that need raw water (sea or lake) to cool the enclosed coolant system.
@@robertbeirne9813 thats not true google is your friend
This boat has a separate cooling system.
Chase is confusing “freshwater cooled” with having radiators. After Richard turns the engines off, chase says “no, you can go on the ocean with this”, meaning it’s not raw water cooled. Raw saltwater would corrode the engine’s block. Freshwater system has a coolant tank that circulates through the engine via a water pump, like your car, but instead of a radiator, which cools with Fresh air, it has a heat exchanger that pulls in water from through the hull to cool the coolant that flows through the block. When they open the engine compartment, you can see the exhaust risers where the outside cooling water flows.
the baja boat doesn't have radiators, it has heat exchangers, and you definitely need water flowing thru it :)
Man that olds just beautiful
Something about those cars especially the 70 to 72 just so badass.
That was a muncie Rock crusher m22 trans wasn't it? Thought I heard a Muncie whine??
I know he had to really Hammer the hell out of it. That kind of power it was putting out to and it's a ragtop get that top fixed man what a cruiser

Would love to have the firebird and boat. Keep the great content coming.
USA calls it a Whiskey dent, in South Africa we call that a brandewyn vlek (Brandy stain)
"I'll race anyone for a hundred grand"..That's like a whiskey dent, beer talking... : )
Awesome vid man, Keep them coming. Thanks
I like Chase. That was a huge score finding him.
754 that's fort Lauderdale Florida Rich isn't there that's not a Dallas area code yet it has a gas monkey garage circle.
About time Phipps spoke and it was a pleasure to listen to his narrative about troubleshooting this
Great cast of characters. Young, fresh and often opinionated. With R.R. as the benevolent Wizard, this crew has legs.
Chase is off the hook …. Awesome mechanic/guy
All Nice Cars But Im In Love With That 71 Cuda
I'm old enough to be Phipps brother so it doesn't surprise me he has that sence of humor is cool Chase is a dude for the shop don't lose him
Just wanna say fibbs always has the best attitude and is so honest about the situation. Give him a raise he's hard working guy. @RichardRawlings you better be nice to him.
Glad to,see the Keco is getting utilized.
Love the Keco plug .. What an incredible kit
The Crow?
My '68 Cutlas used to spank those Pontiac Trans ams.
Love the red 442 convertible more than anything else you showed!
That comment chase said when Richard tried to close the Camaro’s hood, “You gotta own one” is sooo true. My Camaro hood closes the same way. 👍
You oughta try owning a socket set and an oil can to adjust and lube the hinges and latches properly. Obviously Richard does own one. And he's owned others.

"Cleanest boat motors I've ever seen" said several of them. Or words to that effect. Meaning they either haven't seen many or they've seen real pieces of crap.

So boat "motors" tend to stay pretty damned clean. And those are NOT especially clean for that new of a boat. "Black shows dirt" and those are pretty dirty. Probably because despite "10,000 lakes" Minnesota doesn't have very many good "powerboating" lakes and damned few if any get warm enough for anybody but "hardcore" skiers/tubers/swimmers to get in. The ice doesn't go out til mid-May in most "big" Minnesota lakes, they're natural and mostly "rock bottom" and too far north to catch lots of sun and rarely do water temps get over "room temperature" during their 30-45 days of "summer". And "infrastructure" in/on the public lakes tends to be pretty primitive. Dirt/rock/dust roads and parking lots for miles in and out, minimal concrete for "clean up" and no reason - for "rich boy" boat owners - to "wipe down" a boat at the ramp just to drag it miles through the dust home before "winterizing" it and storing it "covered" but outdoors for another 10 months.
Even when "indoors" it's usually a pole shed or lean-to or "barn" and unless you have a "high end" trailer with two jacks and removable tongue and an "I/O" you won't get a boat much over 15 feet in a typical "attached garage". And over 10 months even "climate controlled" storage gets "dusty". It also helps tremendously to have a big "engine room" and one "big motor" instead of two small-blocks in a "rowboat" like that.
So you can access the "motor" for service, cleaning, maintenance and engine compartment "detailing". There isn't shit for room in there to even get to '
"winterizing" drains. Mainly because multi-engine "powerboats" really aren't practical or intended for "cold climates" and/or "outdoor storage" including unheated "garages" and only "seasonal" use.
And as far as "offshore powerboating", there isn't a single thing about "seawater" automotive "raw water cooled" OR "separate radiator" (i.e. jacket water cooled) engined boats "like" whether outboard OR "I/O".
The biggest challenge in "offshore racing" is keeping the engines and "outdrives" (which ARE water-cooled AND the engine cooling "raw" water inlets and primary pumps or else those itty bitty gears and little bit of lube could never take all that "horsepower" - obviously) "alive" in conditions, environments and "coolant" they do not "like" at all.
Going "offshore" with freshwater - like "Bajas" powerboats is also the primary reason there are always "new" used boats for sale "cheap" relative to new MSRP. Along with cold water powerboating "up north" where it's impossible to get and keep "high performance" boats and engines and drives "warmed up" and keep them that way. When "electronic" engines stay "cold" they stay in "open loop" and tend to run alternately rich and lean and both "wear out" engines in relatively short order.
Having to "re-engine" a "$100k" powerboat even if you "DIY" is a good way to drop "$65" in a hurry. "Marinized" modern aluminum and electronic engines ain't cheap. Especially if/when one of them is "reverse rotation" and everything is "backward".
Aluminum parts also have even less tolerance for "frost" than "cast iron" and don't even have to "freeze" to "split".
There is no such thing as a good cheap boat and Richard was smart to pay "salvage price" for that "collection" and get 30+ "toys" for "225" instead of the 5-6 he'd have gotten for "200" listening to his "helper" that doesn't even know every "1st-gen" GTO made has/had a 389 under the hood.
Or that a "Pontiac 455" is a freaking Oldsmobile "motor".
It's pretty obvious Richard keeps those tools around just to look smarter by comparison and hopefully recruit some real "experts" while making sure they're under "adult supervision" with him all the time.
Leave those fools "home alone" and they'd probably rob him blind instead of just trying to get him to give his money away "on the road".
One asshole was "out" because a guy - his "friend" - that didn't OWN "everything" to be able to LEGALLY sell it AND wanted/needed to keep SOMETHING(S) to "daily drive" wouldn't "bite" on "250" for "everything" and the other asshole thought "200" was a "good number" for about 1/8th of "everything" including "65" for a freaking BOAT between Thanksgiving and Christmas with gas station gas at $3.50 a gallon and marina gas at $4.50 a gallon. $1000 to "fill her up" buy "65" is a "bargain". Compared to "135" for the "GTO" that's just a Tempest with a "trailer tow package" at best and unverifiable as a "real GTO" especially by idiots "discussing" 400 vs. 455 when it has to be a 389 and "easy fix" broken blower motor station wagon and POS bondo-bodied and butchered (chopped) 2wd stepside "Red Rocket" Richard has never "owned" personally and a "couple Model As" made less "rare" and "valuable" by the fact there are 2 in one 30-vehicle "collection" and a Ford Stupor Duty rollback that has a 50/50 shot of having a scattered PowerJoke under the hood and a $20k "repair" bill to get it "running" again/and or is emissions "deleted" and won't "smog"?
Talk about good "help" being hard to find.
What is most hilarious is that every time he really needs "help" putting a "value" on anything "used vehicle" - which is EVERYTHING he "collects" after his "motorcycle/memorabilia collection" deal debacle - he blows them off, gets some alone time and calls Dennis and breaks out the NADA guide and his gut instinct and makes a deal without them having a thing to do with it and they end up doing the dirty work they cannot stand just to look "involved".
Little Stiff on the outro haaaaa ... even stands funny haaa love it
"Pop up up and down headlights!!"- pumphrey
Sean propping the "Sons Of Liberty" gun works hat, 2ND Amendment! Hooah!!!!!!!!!!
Love it from omemee ont, love the show and all you boys do keep er up boys yaaaaaa!!!!!!
The boat was someones Christmas present?? 👍 A Nice present for someone! 😂
19:41 huge shout out to James and donut media !!!
“Exploded a house” “that was pretty rad” “hope no one got hurt there” all in the same sentence 😂😂
When Richard said that he hates the color blue, what a frickin backwards comment. I've had 3 blue cars, 1976 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham, 1974 Dodge Cornet Custom, 1989 Chevy Camaro R/S.
For him to hate blue is plain crazy.
I agree blue best colour for that camaro hands down.
I live in Minnesota and I worked for this guys partner I saw all of these cars they are so cool
Nice one... Now you need to put impellers in the lower units... Still need to have water to those before you fire em.
Lot of comments worrying about the impellers -- and probably rightly so (I can't claim any real world experience on that style boat) -- But - I'd think if anyone bought that boat from someone who has battlescars on every car he owns, or even from someone with a good track record, for that matter, I'd think the impellers would be one of the first things to get replaced anyway - seem to recall a lot of recommendations for that being an annual maintenance item. The shop he suggested sending the boat to (didn't catch the name) would quite likely plan to replace the impellers regardless. Of course, the bad information for those watching, is still a valid issue... "Kids, don't try this at home." ;-)
I LOVE the 442! How much do you want for that $10,000 car?! 😎🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful cars Richard. The corvette is awesome too 👍👍
Hey Fitch the General Motors transmission plant burnt down back in the day and they actually used Ford transmissions for a while
Richard Rawlins, Shout out from Holyrood Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦 wooo
My wife is from Bell Island,we now live in Ontario,🇨🇦
@@oxyfee6486 I ride dirt bikes there
A lot
Shawn i from Minneapolis my self born and raised here . Great find on the cars very nice Richard Purchase some sweet cars . Shawn I called the northside the wild wild West I’m a bus driver here for the last 25 years It can get a little wild on that side of town lol .
I LOVE the way he test drives each car ;) you know their solid after he feels each one out! If like to go ride along with him sometime!
RICHARD RAWLINGS BE FINDING THE BEST AND CRAZY COLLECTION YOU HAVE REALLY INSPIRED ME I REALLY BEEN THRU IT I HAVE WE NEED MORE PPL LI KE RICHARD RAWLINGS WE DO
*Rawlings finds the best
Hundred Grand?....Beer Buzz talkin'.....also love how the hair lets go as the day gets long.......Keep doin' it Richard!
That 68 is cool, just needs love.
Very nice and very clean 68 Camaro I'd love to have that one but enjoy that car there's sweet
Wishing Richard and Everybody at Gas Monkey Garage a Very Merry Christmas 🎅🎄and a happy New year!
Legitstreetcars would LOVE to have that Firebird!
The Freightliner front tires about 200 lb plus 40 50 for the aluminum rim all together.
I think Chase mentions like five times, it’s OK I own one talking about the blue Camaro. A little smug, but if I was 22 and old 69 Camaro, I would be a little smug too. Way to go, buddy!
I have to say, that blown 68 Camaro is fabulous.
You should put that 442 in the sweepstakes!!!
22:53 now if it had some decent tires in the back... that would help. Alot!
That blower sounds so good! Crazy to have a Ford transmission in that thing!
It's a Super T-10. Borg-Warner "clone" of a GM Muncie "rock crusher". Used by the tens of thousands in "2nd gen" Camaros and Firebirds. It's "metric" because GM had "metricized" it's powertrain components by then on emissions/tuneup labels.
The only thing "Ford" about it is that just like the T-10, Ford "adopted" it after GM "abandoned" it and replaced it with 5-speed OD transmissions in "F-bodies".
It's a superior "show car" transmission for installation in 3-speed manual and automatic cars because it has a "built in" shift tower.
Seeing a component in/on a Ford vehicle does not make it "Ford". A shitload of "Ford" 4-speed pickup transmissions are SM425s. Muncie SM425s.
A Ford "8.8 inch" rear axle is a GM 12-bolt "clone". "Ford" Autolite carbs are all Holley, Carter and Rochester "clones".
And a "Ford top-loader 4-speed" is a GM Saginaw light-duty passenger-car trans "clone". Only an idiot would associate a giant hole in the top of the case covered only by a sheet metal plate in addition to the hole in the side for the shifter assembly with "heavy-duty". Just like only a shadetree mechanic like Phipps would associate any 4-speed trans besides a "top loader" with Ford when Ford hasn't built any transmission entirely "in-house" without "borrowing" major design "features" and/or outright "cloning" components from the "competition" since WWII besides the FMX. Which is the biggest boat anchor slushbox of an automatic "gearbox" in automotive history.
And yes, Ford "cloned" the vaunted/legendary/iconic/bulletproof "9 inch rear axle", too. Poorly since Ford never made one "bulletproof" enough to go in any vehicle more heavy-duty than light-duty 1/2-ton pickups. Mostly with smog-dog 351M and 400 engines and FMX transmissions and most with passenger car gear ratios 2.50:1 or higher. And most "9 inch Fords" are actually "8 inch Fords. Just a "half inch" more "bulletproof" than a GM 10-bolt 7.5".
The whole "diameter = strength" spiel for "rear axles" aka rear differential ring gears is a crock of shit. 8.75" GM 12-bolts were used in all GM heavy-duty 1/2-ton trucks and SUVs up to an including Suburbans. 10-bolts from '88 on. A 7.5" ring gear allows for a smaller diameter but heavier and thicker housing and a shorter, stiffer and stronger pinion shaft and larger pinion gear. A smaller diameter ring gear and carrier place less leverage and torque on the axles and hubs and allow 16"-17" wheels and tires and larger drum and disk brakes and put more teeth in contact.
Ford proved just how "superior" the "9 inch" axle is for "heavy duty" use by shitcanning it and introducing its first "heavy half" 4WD pickups when it "innovated" the TTB Dana 44-based "independent front suspension" up front and put its 12-bolt "clone" in the rear.
Of course GM put small-block 400s and even big-block 454s in its "heavy halfs" along with 6-bolt wheels and hubs to handle the extra torque of ratios as low as 3.73:1 - same as the "light-duty" ratio in 3/4-tons - more than a decade earlier and put the 12-bolt "on" both coil springs and leaf springs to prove it could take amount of "twist".
And the "c-clips" are not the only "retainers" in the axle. The way the axle shafts are machined and their "full floating" design with the shaft surface acting as a bearing race for the "needle bearings" in the housings all work to "pull" the axles in at all times.
"Bulletproof" Ford "9 inch" axles have nothing but the "press fit" of a non-thrust sealed ball bearing on the axle shaft for axle "retention" and a sheet metal flange and four studs holding "slip fit" bearings in the housing ends.
Axle bearings in Fords are unserviceable "sealed" wear parts not locked to the shafts or into the housing by anything but "drag" and all contaminants as well as wear particles and heat are "sealed" in as well. The axles cannot "float" at all and the bearings are not "thrust roller" type bearings and must be pressed on the shafts "cold" while typically ball bearings are a "slip fit" on a shaft with set screw and/or eccentric lock collar retention and the outer races are a "press fit" in a bore or are "clamped" in flange housings. Heat transfer is then possible in both directions and rigid alignment with zero thrust is obtained. They remain cool, lubricant remains viscous and able to trap and hold wear particles off the bearing surfaces and when sealed and non-greasable the bearings are subject only to balanced, radial "rolling" loads. Bearings subjected to vibration, impact, shock and centrifugal loads are always greasable to purge wear particles, moisture and oxidized lubricant as well as dust entering via seal deflection and "runout" and the lube is effectively "changed" when the bearing is greased.
It's "cheap insurance" to replace Ford "9 inch" axle bearings whenever the axle is "serviced" and of course proper differential service to "flush" the housing requires third-member removal since the "superior" design provides no "inspection cover" on the housing. Which requires axle removal.
The problem being they can never be installed in exactly the same "orientation" of the outer races in the housing if reused, the existing "wear pattern" will be disturbed and a slightly - or much - different portion of the outer race will be subject to the vertical "bouncing" loads and "flat spotting" of races and balls will occur where there is "play".
How rapid and severe and time before failure is dependent on load, speed, temperature, bearing initial quality, previous wear, proper installation.
And since in "cargo vehicles" light loads tend to produce more "bouncing" and impact "pounding" and heavy loads more "deflection" and "distortion" and friction, you're basically screwed either way. And damned lucky to get 50,000 miles of "normal use" out of axle bearings. But just "cheap insurance" replace them at every "brake job". It only doubles - at least - the parts and labor cost. And requires a press. And press blocks. And bearing splitter.
This is one of my favorite videos, due to my favorite vehicle being in it.
There will be a porta potty (head) under the v-berth cushions every cuddy cabin boat has one or at least a spot forone.
POP UP UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS!!!
So now the outdrives on the Baja need new impellers. They are surely torched
100 grand lol, that beer is doing miracles.
I love the trans am . I had a 97 firebird
Super cool videos 👍 awesome cars and awesome deals
One of the best channel's on here 💯 this and hoonigan...are the bollox
hey that's cool, ya using the hot glue dent thing already! such an amazing invention
Your buddy Dennis loves pace cars..
Shout-out to James from Donut Media for 🗣️ POP UP UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS.
If the wheel isn't strong, especially in super torque setups and there's any wiggle room... It's possible that the holes in the wheel can become enlarged and slip right off, especially with a little heat and pressure...
I'd get some hardcore steelies...
That flatbed Cummins is going to be the best all around for the shop..
Can't agree more!
The old screw had more character but I’m still a gas monkey fan
Doughnut media! Pop up, up & down headlights!!!!
Nice jobs bother.
Green and black
Thanks for the ride. 👍👍
I'd luv that 442...lovely beast
HELL YEAH let's GET US SOME OF THIS new episode!!!
You should make something crazy out of that opel gt you have on ur lot. My sister has one for her first car n to flip over the headlights took a little muscle.
I guarantee the lug nuts on the wheel were loose, that causes the wheel to move around on studs and enlarges the holes big enough to slide over the nuts. Pre-trip checklist, check all lug nut torque lol
'Solid quarter.' Haven't heard that since I left Mississippi.
Love your channel Richard. But i need some merch. Lol
HEYY WHATS UP HUGE FAN LOVE THE VIDEOS 🏎🏎🚗👌😎🔥🔥
Blue Camaro! Nice! 😌
Your neighbours must love you man! 👍
Nice camaro
Whats richard i am one of your biggest fans- my first car was a 1978 firebird loved it-my next car was a 78 caddy coupe with a 425- i took out mustangs
