Good vedieo Po I enjoyed it. I'm a GM man always have been I love those old 350 GM motors man you can do so much with them . I had a lot of fun back in the day with a Z 28 Camaro which we put a 350 4 bolt main custom cam reworked heads and valves wow what a car it was wicked fast .You just can't beat them for cranking out the HP . Heck even the factory stock 350 motors were pretty bad ass . I can't wait to see what you have in mind for that diesel engine lol . Knowing you it will be right & pretty damn cool . Salamat Po & Mangandang ga bi Kuya James. Your one bad ass Kano lmao 🤣 .
Really enjoy your vlog…thank you! Another cheap option to the baseball grip is friction tape. We used this all the time in the military. Nice thing about friction tape and electrical tape, in general, is it sticks to itself…even when you apply it underwater. We used it for underwater explosive work. Take care and power on!
I'll be relying on Amazon for various supplies as well 👍 Thanks again for the fun visit at your resort, what a beautiful and comfortable place you have constructed!
I got Dengue after that night down at Sol y Mar when we went there to eat. I'm still bed ridden now. I had never seen so many mosquitos at one place like we did that night. That man might need to address that. I spray our property on a regular basis. It does not rid them all but it really lessons them. That was a swarm down at that place like we was in Alaska! I thank you for coming.
@@TexasFilipino oh no ! If I remember right that is called break bone fever because it's so painful. I hope it's not so bad. I have minor sniffles and runny nose, I think I'm okay with that instead
@@TexasFilipino I'm so sorry to hear that James. I hope everyone else is okay, I imagine Mel is taking very good care of you. Don't hesitate to hit the hospital if the symptoms justify it. Get well soon my friend.
@TexasFilipino Damn it Po I sure hope your better by now . I didn't know you had Dengue or I would have already been praying for your speedy recovery. But I will start praying.for that Kuya. Hey can't you get a Dengue shot or vaccine?? I think they offer one here called Dengvaxia .
Thank God Amazon is working in the Philippines now. It definitely makes life easier there. I hope you like the gas engine. I remember how excited you were to switch it out for the diesel. Thank you for sharing all this with us. I can't believe just how much I've learnt from watching you guys. We're planning on spending Christmas in Oton this year. Hopefully both of our schedules work that i could at least buy you a cup of coffee and chew the fat for a bit. God bless and stay safe.
you can drop the diesel into the banka boat and it will jump out of the water lol .. wondering if the wire harness will still work plug and play ..i seem to remember you re engineering it ..but i know you will sort it out
Sea Ray Sundancer Dynamite stuff, I love your boating mechanical upgrades. Indeed, it's pretty impressive that one could get the parts at the prices indicated and have them delivered for free. Things are really looking up in the Philippines. Cheers!
I just had a starter kit come in for my yamaha outboard. The kit on alibaba was around $159 I think lol. The shipping fedex was $35 and the customs was 900 pesos. all streamlined. The same kit via amazon or ebay was over $500 USD and would intel big shipping and customs. It arrived in 3 days from time of ordering.
Waiting for you to rock it out with that little small block. I know you like to cruise around but you never know when You might need that Chevy power to outrun a storm or maybe go off and save somebody.
Wow!!! Amazon is going to make some of the inconveniences of living in the Philippines disappear. I’m back in Texas now and needed some Razor Blades so I ordered them at 3pm today and they were delivered by 6pm same day!!! Great weather here the last few days James. We took the kids to the Ft Worth Zoo on Sunday and it was 80°.
That is awesome. I wish I was still there. Our toy hauler is being delivered there today. Instead I am here with dengue fever instead of enjoying that. UGGHHHH Amazon really is a help
Once the diesel is repaired, it'd be perfect for the coming cat... I'm torn on how and where to source a boat over there once back... I can look internationally and have plenty of options, or maybe check the local market in The Philippines... This is well down the road, plenty of time to see and pull the trigger... Boats are expensive toys, but well worth it, IMO... There's something about scooting across the water that's such a good feeling... Not to mention fishing, snorkelling, diving, swimming, skiing, etc. Anyway... TC you two! Week getting on... 4 days 'til 68... Ooof... 😅 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍
you set back one hole. The stringers are already made for the diesel. It was an option on this boat in fact many of the exported Sea Rays had the diesel instead of the gas.
I’m wondering if you have any experience with 12 V vehicle batteries? Two years ago I bought a Motolite Gold for our Hilux and now it’s time to replace it again. Do you James or anyone else reading this have any experience with better quality replacement batteries?
@@tommoskal9365 Thanks Tom. Anybody else have experience? I saw Amaron, Spectra and GS Tropical (calcium battery, whatever that is) brands. Prices vary within a roughly ₽1k range but what about durability?
The GS battery is awesome. You will know it when you lift it. It is heavy like the quality NAPA batteries in the USA. It is a blue colored battery. Man oh man they are good. I despise MotoLite and panasonic is a cheap low quality battery also.
Yes I feel great. If I have a cheat day I know it. Especially bread = instant bloat n gas. So I avoid that. I wont say I'm pure canivore as I will eat some low starch veggies. No sauces just plain
I own a marine supplies business and have the ability to ship internationally, feel free to send me some contact info if I could help with some of the harder to find parts. I stock all name brands etc.
Get ready to do some water skiing😊

Another great video James. That motor is gonna purr. Do they use synthetic motor oils in the Philippines?
From a mercruser dealer, you have done your research.loving this content
I love the boat work videos
I like cars. I live at the lake but know very little about boats, I feel like I'm learning a lot. Thanks James.

Absolutely love the selector switch. I need one for my off grid battery system. Got me on amazon looking them over.

I can't believe how Philippine customs do not charge import tax!
@@RogerGarnham Orders under 200 USD usually are duty free just imported a cummins engine duty was 10% plus 12% vat on landed price

@@TexasFilipino thanks for taking the time James, especially regarding your condition, which I hope is rapidly improving!!
@@tommoskal9365 thanks for the info Tom!
looking good man. almost makes me want to fix up my old 5.7... almost lol
Have good afternoon
I find it ironic, with these keyboard warriors that are so critically nitpicky of Your lifestyle. They would still love to have what You have.
Waiting for you to rock it out with that little small block. I know you like to cruise around but you never know when You might need that Chevy power to outrun a storm or maybe go off and save somebody.
That boat key looks like it has a bottle opener as well. LoL 😊
It does!

Very interesting as always. Thanks Mr. Hightower!
Amazon couldn't live without even in the usa
Your knowledge is amazing James, it's exciting to watch and learn things ,cheers.
Gas motor looks great!
are you gonna have to rearagne the motor mounts? Isn't the diesel engine smaller then the 350?
the 350 came out of this boat.
@@TexasFilipino I thought I remembered you reworking the motor mounts to put the smaller engine in it.
you set back one hole. The stringers are already made for the diesel. It was an option on this boat in fact many of the exported Sea Rays had the diesel instead of the gas.
Great video I love it
I'm glad you like it
I’m wondering if you have any experience with 12 V vehicle batteries? Two years ago I bought a Motolite Gold for our Hilux and now it’s time to replace it again. Do you James or anyone else reading this have any experience with better quality replacement batteries?
There all the same Moto Lite is more expensive but lasts no longer then the Cheap Panasonic Brand sold here 2 years is average replacement time
@@tommoskal9365 Thanks Tom. Anybody else have experience? I saw Amaron, Spectra and GS Tropical (calcium battery, whatever that is) brands. Prices vary within a roughly ₽1k range but what about durability?
Odyssey Batteries
@@ChuckFasst it’s almost twice the cost, will it last twice as long? I think I’ll go with the mid-priced German made Varta for just under ₽7k.
The GS battery is awesome. You will know it when you lift it. It is heavy like the quality NAPA batteries in the USA. It is a blue colored battery. Man oh man they are good. I despise MotoLite and panasonic is a cheap low quality battery also.
Wish I could be there to help!
Tex when I grow up I want to be like you, Well on my way, 😂😂😂😂😂, Happy Hot Rodding, Farmer Belus Leyte
You can do it!
Yes I like the video can you show us the trailer tires and wheels
Those parts prices are ridiculously cheap. It's a long time since I've bought parts, and they were always dearer than that at that time.
Is there an automatic fire extinguisher for the bilge ? Like in a commercial kitchen exhaust hood .
Keep watching this series as that subject is soon covered.
👍
I haven't seen a video in a while. How is your carnivore diet going? Feeling good?
Yes I feel great. If I have a cheat day I know it. Especially bread = instant bloat n gas. So I avoid that. I wont say I'm pure canivore as I will eat some low starch veggies. No sauces just plain
You’re a wild shopper
Yes I remember when you fell an busted your head 😢
