I'm so happy to see you back! You gave me inspirations to buy myself an open deck at the end of the season last year (6-ish months ago), but I kept looking and found an actual bass boat for 6000$CAD, and I bought it. It is an Astroglass 154v Bass model. I'm trying to resell the open deck because I need money, but you gave me confidence in my choices and it turns out it is a great solid boat too, I'd keep it if I had the money to spare... Anyway, I can't wait to see more of your vids man!
I'd buy that old motor from you in a heart beat. These are great motors and it shouldn't take much to get it running again. And I currently have one of those that's on my boat.
Good to see your return. Be a fine outboard for the Cat. Be sure your cavitation plate is correct with the bottom of the hull, slightest tilt on outboard and it'll do the chine walk-not fun.
That is one problem with Johnson/Evinrudes. Since they're no longer in business, chicom parts are all that's available. And they usually aren't up to par.
I have a 94' Pantera 2 with a 150 on it, runs 58 with a 1/4 tank of gas and just me and my gear on it. You might find that the carbureted versions of the 2.5L Mercs guzzle fuel. I have a DFI Optimax and it sips fuel really nicely
Don't know who told you Johnson parts are hard to come by but their misinformed. Johnson parts are readily available. That said going with the new motor was probably the best solution.
You will like that XR6 I have one and it never ever fails ever and goes like a raped ape. Only thing when you get it on the boat cold make sure that thing is trimmed dowwwwwwnn as lowe as it possibly can go pump the bulb choke it 5 times and fire in the hole.When you look back that motor is the best thing you did with the build. They are bullet proof and suck alot of gas but shit tons of power alot of people claim that the 2000 to 04 Xr6 are really 160 hp motors because of a loop hole in how they rated them. Enjoy man you will like it alot.
I would love to shoot you a email about that Johnson 150 been Watching your videos about the basscat and I would love to see how much you would want for the motor and keep up with the good work.
Wow you stole that XR6 ! If you ever read the scream fly website these have been being used for racing for year's! They're literally the best motor mercury has ever built! Been running mine for a decade now and it's been great. If you ever need help with the starting sequence just ask their kinda picky. Not near as bad as a Johnson exploder, but take a little getting used too. They also have a electronic choke and they won't pee until the motor reaches temp and opens the thermostat. Sometimes even when they're hot you'll see them barely peeing or occasionally stop, completely normal.
Nope, I personally believe it’s got plenty of life left. But it needs an owner who can tune it him self and know it inside and out. At this point I just want reliability.

We’re back baby! Thankyou for being patient. It’s going to be a fun summer 👊🏻

You Should’ve got the Johnson rebuilt
Good to see you back, been following you bass cat build. Looking forward to the final product.
Who needs a wedding when you have a boat
😅😅

I just restored a awesome 1995 Basscat Sabre and I absolutely love it! Took a lot of inspiration from this video!!
That’s awesome!
I’ve missed the fire out of your videos! I look forward to seeing more from the basscat! Get er done buddy!!
Thanks Jeff!
From all of us at TBNation, we’re always here to help!!!!!!

I was just wondering what happened to you? Good to see you still have the boat
The video the world had waited for!!
Wondered what happened!! Glad to see you still have the basscat. Let’s go! 😂

The prop on that evinrude is worth a good bit by itself
I have a 94' Pantera 2 with a 150 on it, runs 58 with a 1/4 tank of gas and just me and my gear on it. You might find that the carbureted versions of the 2.5L Mercs guzzle fuel. I have a DFI Optimax and it sips fuel really nicely
@@goofyoutdoors I’m sure it will guzzle but I don’t do super far runs. Most lakes i fish are small
did you measure prop to pad? needs to be about 3-3 1/2 inches
Gonna have to swap the control for a merc control I believe. Did you get a control with the motor?
I thought it was over ha ha glad to see you still working on the cat
Did that price on the motor include the wiring harness, control box, etc? Any warranty on the rebuilt motor?
Glad to see you back
👊🏻👊🏻
Yes sir my boy are back. Cars and Boats 🎉🎉🎉
👊🏻👊🏻

Nice click bait with the shaded motor being a "NEW" Pro XS.
Glad you're back, your one of my top youtubers, sorrg goonzsquad is better at this point but ill be along with you to way over a million subs
Thanks man I really appreciate you! Love the goonzsquad boyz! I sure as heck can’t top their skill level 🤣
The old saying is "once you go black, you never go back". I've been told it applies to more than just outboards, lol.

Lets go!!
did you look at tohatsu at all? i find they are the best bang for the buck
This is exactly what I want to do
I would love to shoot you a email about that Johnson 150 been Watching your videos about the basscat and I would love to see how much you would want for the motor and keep up with the good work.
You dipped into your wedding money and didn't get the Johnson working? I just binge watched everything up to this point and I feel totally let down.
WANNA RACE THE YINTIN WITH THAT!?
Let’s go! Loser buys ice cream! 😎
did you get the motor from a dealer? If so can you share the info for the dealer?
I did not. Private seller
sucked to see the johnson go i love those but of course if you were having that much trouble i see why you repowered lol
Yea sadly getting parts was just becoming impossible
Did the Johnson sell yet?
YES !!!!! Definitely been waiting for this one.....jus missing the GF
Fiancé now 😏😏
@@TightlineTV couldn't spell it LoL
How much you asking for the motor
Throw me an offer 🤷🏻♂️
@@TightlineTV i don't know. I dont want low ball you.

I thought you quit youtube!😂😂
🤣😅
I'm guessing you never figured out what was wrong with the old engine
Nope, I personally believe it’s got plenty of life left. But it needs an owner who can tune it him self and know it inside and out. At this point I just want reliability.
By tow motor, you mean forklift right.....😅
Hey, all I know is I can drive it pretty good 😂
@@TightlineTV who did your forklift training.... lol gussing self taught
Ditching that omc anchor will be a decision you'll never regret
Did you and your girlfriend have your first baby?
That johnson motor is the worst ever made
