    When I first saw that boat I thought “well compared to his other projects, this should be an easy quick flip. Nothing to it”.... boy was I wrong !! Lol

I've been looking at my native Jackson MS currently under flood waters and that boat would be of such great use there in helping the residents. Please keep up the great work on boat restoration, marine engine repair...very motivational. God bless...

    Watched from the beginning you really did a great job. My only comment is the boat seemed slow I would think it would do 40-45 mph with that motor. Maybe it needs the pitch adjusted not sure how much hp you have 75 maybe. But nice job no matter how fast it goes.

  • @stevemadak6255
    @stevemadak6255 4 роки тому

    The motor starts to bog when you give it full throttle. Those gas tanks(with the clogged fuel line) have a brass tube that dips into the fuel. On the end of it they braze a brass screen as a coarse filter. Over years those become corroded and clogged. When you blew it out it made it ok to run. If you want to get it to take a full fuel load you need to unscrew the fitting out of the tank and remedy that clog. That will give you the fuel flow you need.

It’s cool to go out and buy something, but it’s a completely different level of sentimental connection when you restore something and get to take it out for the first time.
